The icons I have chosen for this week are Cedar Point, The Walking Dead, and Netflix. All of these icons have been around a while and will continue to be around for a long while more. People love to be entertained and have the thrilling adrenaline rush of being scared. CedarPoint, The Walking Dead, and Netflix all have this capability. I chose these three icons because they are something that my family and I enjoy. Family time is an important value to me and when there are popular icons that will allow everyone to participate and enjoy themselves I am all for it.
Cedar Point is located in Sandusky, Ohio and this icon is home to some of the fastest roller coasters in the world. My family travels to this amusement park every summer it has become a tradition. I know this is a popular icon by the long lines and wait times it takes to get on each ride. Snoopy is a popular icon used by cedar point to attract little kids. On the way into the park, you can see bushes trimmed to look like characters from the peanuts gang. Last summer the baby of our family was big enough to ride her first big roller coaster. This summer we will get to experience the newest coaster Valravn. The history of Cedar Point began in 1892 with the introduction of the peninsula’s first roller coaster, the Switchback Railway. The 25-foot-tall, 10-mph scream machine is what started Cedar Point into the popular park they are now. The ultimate amusement park that more than 3 million guests trek to each and every summer.
The Walking Dead is one of the biggest television series hits of this decade. With the horror of zombies, the heroic acts of Rick, Darrel, and the crew, and the drama of who will hook up with who this is entertainment for the whole family. This television series is on AMC and first premiered in 2010 and is based on the comic books. This storyline tells what it would be like in the world after a zombie apocalypse. Rick Grims is one of the main characters. After the first season, Rick has a group he travels around with trying to find a safe place to live where zombies can't eat you. Viewers fall in love with the characters like they are family and vow to boycott the show if their favorite character gets eaten by a zombie. This show is a favorite in my home and brings everyone together one day a week to share and enjoy something together.
Netflix is a company that started out in 1998 as a DVD by mail rental company. In 2007, Netflix upgraded to streaming TV series and movies directly to your television. Netflix has grown to have such a variety of options that they now have over 33 million customers worldwide. Netflix has a very low price and allows anyone in your household to have their own profile and watch a different show on Netflix from different rooms. This service is something we really enjoy in my home. We sit a binge watch television series to get caught up so we can watch the new episodes as they are played on television. I also like that if I miss out on a season because of my busy schedule, and extra studying I can catch up when it is released on Netflix.
