As far as I can tell, adults can also find the delight in visiting and on most occasions are eager to enjoy the amusement park. Adults visit an amusement park for several reasons. For one thing, an amusement park is a place where it is acceptable to pig out on junk food. At the park, everyone including the adults is drinking Soda and eating popcorn, ice-cream and hotdogs, Nobody seems to be on a diet. So buying all the junk food you can eat in an amusement park is guilt free experience. Another reason why people visit an amusement park is to prove themselves. They want to visit the park that has the newest, scariest and most frightening ride in order to say they went on the parachute drop, the seven story elevator, the water shoot, or the guest slide. They think that going on a scary and frightening ride is a way to feel courageous and adventurous without taking too much of risk. A final reason that people visit an amusement park is to escape from their everyday pressures. When people are placed at the top of the gigantic roller coaster, they are not thinking of their bills of work or personal problems. A scary and frightening ride from a high place can empty an adult's mind of all worries except making it to the bottom: safe and sound. Adults at an amusement park may claim that they have come for their children. But they are there for themselves as well.

In fact, it's something everyone does quite often. Acting as either the customer or the marketer. Consider a few of the activities we take for granted, like riding a bus, shopping for clothes, reading a newspaper or watching television. All of these rely on marketing. It's hard to imagine our contemporary life without marketing. You are on the customer side of marketing when you shop at the supermarket, pay your tuition or go to a movie. You are on the marketer side of the transaction when you advertise for a roommate, convince your friend to lend you their bicycle or interview for a job. In the last two examples, you are marketing yourself and your credibility. Job applicants use resume as marketing tools to gain interviews with potential employers. And then use the interview to demonstrate what desirable products they are. Similarly models and actors use photographs to market themselves. Artists and writers supply samples of their work. Even in the commercial round, companies aren't the only marketers and goods aren't the only item marketed. Football teams market themselves when they give team photos and other premiums to their fans. And non-profit group market what they do, the medical research or political action, when they solicit contributions of time and money or try to influence people's behaviors.
In 1985, the American Marketing Association redesigned marketing as the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion and distribution of ideas, goods and services to create exchanges that satisfy the individual and organizational objective. This definition encompasses all the diverse activities of marketing and highlights the central marketing functions — the exchange process.
