David Price - President & Founder of David A. Price Architects, Inc. - is the son of attractions legend Harrison "Buzz" Price. Having grown up in the business, David brings a lifetime of professional experience, relationships, understanding and commitment in the leisure industry involving projects ranging from family attractions, theme parks, resorts, hotels & restaurants and mixed-use development.
Every entertainment attraction has a special purpose. The key is to understand what gives it heart and sustainability. Finding the balance between heart and mind is what every attraction project needs to be successful. Harrison Price developed the logarithms and analytical tools - the “roller coaster math” - that DAPA uses today to guide attractions development. But perhaps most important of all, he provided the foundational intelligence, common sense and experience to enable investors, creators, and operators to be successful. This blending of heart and mind is the value and underlying principal of David A. Price Architects, Inc. and the commitment and passion we bring to each assignment.
