From Futureworld to Londonland, the Grand Canyon to Fred's Polynesian Dive Shop, the show features a collage-like journey through fruit cake tosses, underwater ballets, square dances and star gazing.

Paradise Park features music direction and arrangements by Bill Schimmel, scenic design by David Zinn, costume design by Kaye Voyce, lighting design by Mark Barton, sound design by Elizabeth Rhodes and video design by Joshua Thorson.
