About Us Letter from Diane Social Responsibility Auditor’s Report Finance Our Board of Directors Accomplishments What’s Next
About Us Crazy-Fun Enterprises was founded in 1985 and had its first park in Los Angeles. Crazy-Fun first started off as an amusement park and has grown into an entire enterpise. Crazy-Fun parks is known for their unqiue park days where they encourage park goers to dress up in their favorite decade, or have pets allowed in the park and evern ride on the attractions. The biggest attraction at Crazy-Fun is our bumper car ride. The attraction is as big as a football field and only even-numbered cars can hit even-numbered cars, and vice versa for odd-numbered cars. Our mascot, the Looney Bird, is a fan of children and families nationwide, and loves to hug and greet the people everyday in the park. Crazy-Fun looks to serve your family and their entertainment needs. The park is for riders of all ages, from toddlers to seniors and offers great discounts almost daily. Crazy-Fun is looking to release a new coaster called, the Air-Land-and-Sea-Mega Coaster, which will combine all units of land, water and air into one ride for the ultimate thrill!

Letter from the President: Diane Gomez Happy 25th Anniversary! I am so blessed that for the past four years I have been working with undeniably the best team in the Amusement Park industry and that I have had the chance to be apart of the 25th Annivesary celebration! My team is always coming up with brilliant ideas and it is really great to wake up every morning feeling grateful and blessed to go into work. Fall is the time of year for deep colors, warm scents and Crazy Fun park expansions! This fall we are working on test running our newest coaster, the Air-Land-and-Sea Mega Coaster so it can be ready for riders by Spring 2012. This new coaster will encompass speed, surprise and height. Developer, Mike Barney, said to us, “This will put Crazy-Fun in a class by themselves. Nothing else remotely like this has been tried at other amusement parks.� Here at Crazy-Fun Parks we have expanded our parks to 10 states and am currently working on expanding overseas. Within this year we have been visited by over 5 million people throughout the country, and donated over $10,000 to children within the cities that our parks resides. The money that we donated went towards putting inner-city children through after-school programs in order to keep them safe during the evenings. Also, a portion of our donations went to malnourished babies and mothers who are single with a low-income. I personally feel that the children need our help the most because they are our future and without strong children we have no future to look forward to. I am filled with bliss that we at Crazy-Fun value corporate social responsibility and in 2010 we stepped up our contributions in recycling, wildlife conservation, reducing our carbon footprint and helping children from MakeA-Wish Foundation. I had the opportunity to meet incredible and inspirational children from that foundation, and it made me realize how lucky I am to have a job where I can support these amazing children. Here’s to another 25 years to a wonderful fun family park! 25th Anniversary

Social Responsibility
Wildlife
Crazy Fun Enterprises understands the importance of preserving the beauty of the natural world around us. Since we opened our first Adventure Land amusement park in 1985, our organization has embarked on a mission to help save endangered animals. Crazy-Fun is proud to announce that we are continuing our partnership with the World Wildlife Foundation again this year. Our organization is keen on preserving the environment, promoting awareness of endangered species and minimizing our carbon footprint. Crazy Fun Enterprises has given over $2 million in the last year alone to wildlife conservation efforts nationwide. The funds have helped save countless acres of habitat for hundreds of endangered animals like black bears, bald eagles, and bison. In 2010, a dolphin exhibit opened to great reviews at both Adventure Land Baltimore and Adventure Land St. Louis. The four dolphins currently living at the parks were rescued from fishing nets in 2007. Badly injured and unable to return to life in the wild ocean, a group of dedicated marine biologists, zoologists and veterinarians used their talents and expertise to nurse the dolphins back to health and remain on staff to care for them each day. Dolphins Sally and Skipper in Baltimore and Bo and Benny in St. Louis perform daily shows with their trainers. The dolphin performance entertains audiences but also serves as a learning experience for park visitors, illustrating the consequences of unsafe fishing practices. 25th Anniversary

Recycling Reduce, reuse, recycle! Crazy Fun Enterprises takes the phrase to heart. Crazy Fun has embarked on a fiveyear “go green” initiative at all of its parks. The goal is to recycle more than 2 million pounds of recyclables a year. Each Adventure Land theme park in the Crazy Fun family uses environmentally friendly products in the food courts, bathrooms, and gift shops. Crazy Fun Enterprises has recycled more than 500,000 pounds of recycled materials from their seven theme parks in the last year. Total waste production was reduced by 3%!
Social Responsibility
We switched to 100% recycled cups and silverware in 2010.
Recycling & Energy
Energy As part of Crazy Fun Enterprises’ go green initiative, we are striving to reduce the total energy consumption in all of our parks by 10% in the next 5 years. Through the use of more efficient LED lighting in the pathways in our parks, we have reduced energy consumption by 5%. Over the next five years, we will replace all light fixtures in all our parks with energy efficient light bulbs. Plans are in the works to build the world’s first solar powered rollercoaster at Adventure Land Indianapolis in two years. In the next 10 years, Crazy Fun Enterprises hopes to blaze a new trail and open the first ever all solar powered amusement park in the world. New LED lights for pathways

Crazy Fun Enterprises proudly supports the MakeA-Wish Foundation and made wishes come true for three very special kids in the Summer of 2010. “I wish to ride the tallest, fastest rollercoaster in the world” Michael always loved things that were big and fast and was always on the go until his cancer diagnosis when he was 13 years old. But when he heard that the record breaking AirLand-and-Sea Mega Coaster at Adventure Land Toronto opened, he knew he just had to ride it. In May, Crazy Fun Enterprises flew Michael, his mom, dad, and twin brother Matthew from Wichita, Kansas to Toronto, Canada to grant his wish. Michael and Matthew sat in the very front seat of the ride, while their parents watched happily from the loading platform. The smile on Michael’s face at the end of the ride said it all.
Make-A-Wish Foundation Abby, 6- Progeria
“I wish to go to Los Angeles” Abby has lived here entire life in a small town called Magnolia, New Jersey and always dreamed visiting a big city on the West Coast. Crazy Fun Enterprises heard about her wish and decided to give her the ultimate star treatment at Adventure Land Los Angeles. In July, Abby and her mom and dad flew first class on her first ever plane ride from New Jersey to California for a fun filled weekend at the popular amusement park. Abby had a wonderful time riding all the rides with her parents. She loved meeting and taking her picture with the Looney Bird and even spent part of her weekend with movie star Frieda Barclay.

Social Responsibility Phoebe, 12- Hodgkin’s lymphoma
“I wish to ride every ride in the park” Phoebe has visited Adventure Land Nashville every summer for as long as she can remember and has always wanted to say she rode every single ride in the park. This past August, her wish finally came true. Phoebe and her family visited Adventure Land Nashville where they all received VIP status: the ability to jump to the front of any line and sit in the seat of their choosing. Phoebe spent the entire day at the park. Her new favorite ride is the brand new Zippin Pippin. Phoebe and her family ended their visit with dinner at the Howdy Doody show and enjoyed some down home cooking.

Finances Based on the following data, Crazy-Fun Enterprises would like to congratulate all of their beloved employees, shareholders, and audiences on a great year. The data below shows a vast decrease in monetary loss as compared to past years. Crazy-Fun Enterprises would like to thank every person that aided in this feat and we hope continue to increase the positivity that our business has been a part of in years to come.
This graph represents the revenue per quarter at Crazy-Fun Enterprises. From the data we have collected, we infer that the third quarter is the highest grossing quarter. We attribute this to the fact that the third quarter houses many of the warmer months of the year, a time where our target audiences most enjoy our facilities.

Accomplishments Crazy-Fun Enterprises had a successful year this past year. The Adventure Land amusement park was the second most visited amusement park in North America last year. The Adventure Land amusement park has eclipsed the more than 5 million visitors mark this past year since its first park opened. Crazy-Fun Enterprises currently has Adventure Land amusement parks in Baltimore, Huston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Nashville, St. Louis and Toronto, and now hoping to expand its business. The latest plan is to open a park in Indianapolis, Indiana in two years. Another successful Crazy-Fun Enterprises investment is video games. “Finders Keepers� is the top-selling video game. The video game request players to go on a scavenger hunt in a virtual kingdom where they need to travel to. While players are participating in the scavenger hunt, they need to find specific items that are guarded by oversized porcupines.
Of course our biggest acomplishment is opening the Air-Land-andSea Mega Coaster. This is a digitzed preview of what it will look like when it opens in 2011.

Problems -There was an out-of-court settlement: a man claimed a piece of unpopped caramel corn that was purchased at the Houston Park almost choked his son to death. -The Americans with Disabilities Act sued Adventure Land amusement park for failing to fully comply.
Accomplishments -Additionally, the public knows Crazy-Fun Enterprises for being friendly to pet owners and dedicating a day once a year with the theme, “Pet Days.” The amusement park welcome people to bring their cats and dogs on certain rides. At games of chance, the amusement park even gives out petrelated prizes instead of usual prizes. The variety of prizes range from dogs house and cat poles to squeaky toys and colorful flea collars. Moreover, the amusement park’s snack bars accommodate pet owners by selling pet treats, including dog biscuits, chew sticks and cat-nip. -Adventure Land amusement parks start a new tradition this year called a “Nostalgia Day.” On Nostalgia Day, customers will not find any hi-tech arcade games, but vintage pinball machines. There are also two special promotions going on for this theme day. If men wear 1920s-style straw hats and women wear 20s-stle flapper costumers, they can go on any ride for 25 cents. If men wear 1950s-style slicked back hair and women wear 50-style poodle skirts and bobby socks, they can go on any ride for 50 cents. The stock has hovered around $32 during the last six months which was a big improvement compared to four years ago when the stock was worth $55 a share. -The Adventure Land amusement park made renovations to increase handicapped accessible area and facilities to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. 25th Anniversary
