Amusement Parks (food): First theme park to include in the price of its admissions tickets the...

...price of an all-you-can-eat buffet.  Park patrons can then eat at that buffet as much and as often as they like during that day.  [One of the biggest complaints about theme parks is how expensive food is within the park and how the parks take advantage of their patrons because of how inconvenient it is to leave the park for meals.  By including in the price of admissions the unlimited use of at least one all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant, patrons will not feel they are being unfairly exploited.]  The theme park can still have restaurants where you need to pay.  [These separately-paid-for restaurants will likely be fine restaurants so those guests that would like something more special and/or expensive than what is offered by the all-you-can-eat buffet can still get it.]  To win this challenge, the all-you-can-eat buffet must be located in or very near a central location within the park.  If the theme park has more than one sub-park within itself (e.g., Walt Disney World), there must be a centrally-located all-you-can-eat buffet in each of the sub-parks.  [While this challenge will likely result in admission ticket prices to increase, it wouldn't be surprising if patrons still bring the same amount of spending money to the park to purchase souvenirs, clothing, etc.  In other words, the park will likely make more money because people are paying more to enter and yet still spending the same amount while inside.

This challenge isn't that radical when you take into consideration that one of the innovations that Mr. Walt Disney brought to theme parks was paying one ticket price to enter and then being able to ride all rides for "free" as opposed to the annoyance of having to buy long strips of tickets to ride individual rides within a theme park.  This challenge is along those same lines but as it applies to food.]

Future Challenges:

1) First theme park to make all restaurants (excluding fine restaurants), food concessions stands, and food carts within their park to be free all-you-can-eat food vendors.

2) First theme park to make all restaurants (including fine restaurants), food concessions stands, and food carts within their park to be free all-you-can-eat food vendors.
