Task:   It's your birthday and your parents have given you the choice of going to any one of five amusement parks in California. Your job is to calculate the cost of parking, food, motel/hotel accommodations, etc. for a 2 day vacation.  You may also calculate the cost of getting to the park, (eg. airfare or gasoline, if driving). There may be discount rates offered for many of the parks and you can also compare and decide which park offers the best deals.

 

Resources:

• TM Event Guide-Six Flags Magic Mountain

• Disneyland Park-Anaheim, California
