This essay sheds light on the future of the theme park industry, explicates how advanced technologies can revolutionize the theme park industry, and demystifies the benefits of companies leveraging robots in the theme park industry. The future of the theme park industry will not only be characterized by dynamism as it continues to metaphorically evolve, but will also be eminently auspicious for competitors in the theme park industry. Technological advancements are profoundly changing the theme park industry and are rendering it all the more of a technology-driven industry. The behemoth theme park industry shows no signs of contracting anytime in the imminent future. Theme parks are also known as “a type of amusement park”. The rides and attractions of theme parks are often based on “a central theme”. Theme parks often feature a multitude of “areas with disparate themes”. Competitors in the theme park industry are aptly poised to have lucrative and auspicious futures as more tourists visit theme parks and as the popular franchise-based attractions of theme parks garner more interest worldwide among customers. “The global amusement parks market size was valued at $45,200,000,000 in 2017” (“Amusement Parks Market,” 2018). “Amusement Parks market size is set to grow at a compound annual growth of 6.2% during 2020-2025, projected to reach $72,440,000,000 by 2025” (“Amusement Parks Market,” n.d.). There are a multitude of reasons as to why the theme park industry is projected to expand in the pending future. “Innovative rides, accommodation facilities, and merchandise in amusement parks are gaining popularity among visitors of all age groups. As a result, there is a rise in the number of adults and children visiting amusement parks, thus expanding the size of the target audience. Sale of merchandise and food and beverages through retail outlets and restaurants located inside the amusement parks are anticipated to be the key sources of ancillary revenue for amusement parks. Additionally, increasing urban population, international tourism, and rising disposable income of middle-class population are providing an upthrust to the amusement park market worldwide” (“Amusement Parks Market,” 2018). There are ample factors that are able to accelerate the growth of the behemoth theme park industry. The rapid growth of the global population can also contribute to the robust growth of the theme park industry. Theme parks are replete with franchise-based attractions that manage to garner interest worldwide among customers. Theme parks allow people to experience unalloyed excitement and provide a thrilling divertissement which causes people to divert their attention away from dwelling on stressors. In the coming years, more virtual reality technologies will be apt to be ushered into theme parks. Virtual reality technologies can be utilized (“How Technological Advancements,” n.d.) in order to render “rides more entertaining and immersive, transporting riders to a world entirely separate from their own. Virtual reality technologies allow theme park owners to revitalize existing rides and create a brand-new experience through a software update instead of an overhaul of physical infrastructure” (“How Technological Advancements,” n.d.). Virtual reality technologies can allow existing rides to become all the more immersive, engrossing, and dynamic. It is possible for theme park companies to furnish customers with a robust virtual reality experience without the customers needing to wear bulky virtual reality headsets to experience virtual reality. Virtual reality technologies can allow creative theme park ride designers to eminently revamp rides to the extent that the customer feels as though they have been transported into a vibrant fantasy world. Ample “rides at Universal Studios Hollywood, for instance, already feature HD and 3D screens that create an immersive ride experience without the hassle of a headset” (“How Technological Advancements,” n.d.). It stands to preponderantly reason that the future of the theme park industry will be apt to feature more virtual reality rides for customers to indulge in experiencing. In the coming years, more augmented reality technologies will be apt to be ushered into theme parks. Augmented reality technologies are able to digitize the real world by “overlaying digital elements on top of the real world” (“How Technological Advancements,” n.d.).

Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,0, San Diego State University (College of Business Administration), language: English, abstract: The Walt Disney Company is one of the biggest media and entertainment corporations worldwide. It was founded by Walt Disney in October 1923 starting with the production of a series of Alice Comedies. The first Mickey Mouse cartoon was then released in 1928 (The Walt Disney Company, 2013a). Today the company operates in five business segments: media networks, studio entertainment, consumer products, interactive media and parks and resorts (The Walt Disney Company, 2013b): the Media Networks comprise broadcast, cable, radio, publishing and digital businesses across two divisions – the Disney/ABC Television Group and ESPN Inc. Disney Studios include Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios, Disneynature, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm and Touchstone Pictures. They also own two music labels and theatrical groups producing Broadway shows like ‘The Lion King’ or ‘Disney on Ice’. Disney Consumer Products is the world largest licensor and delivers toys, apparel and books. They operate 350 Disney retail stores worldwide. The business segment Interactive Media creates entertainment for digital media platforms like games. Finally, the segment parks and resorts comprises five vacation destinations with 11 theme parks and 44 resorts in North America, Europe and Asia, with a sixth destination currently under construction in Shanghai. They also have four Disney Cruise Line ships; 12 Disney Vacation Clubs approaching a total of 200,000 member families; and Adventures by Disney, which provides guided family vacation experiences to global destinations. In 2013, Disney earned revenues of $45,041 million which represents an increase of 7% compared to 2012. The net income gained 8% to $6,136 million and the earnings per share for the year 2013 increased 8% to $3.38 (The Walt Disney Company, 2013c, p.1). Its profits amount to $5.6 billion and the market cap is $103.96 billion which makes the company very valuable. At the moment Disney has approximately 166,000 employees around the world (Forbes, 2013). The parks and resorts segment was one of the main growth drivers in 2013: they contributed more than 31% ($14.1 billion) to the overall company revenues and 21% to the segment operating income. (...) Therefore, the parks and resorts play a very important role in the company's brand portfolio. The paper will therefore focus on this business segment.

From going to Disneyland on a weekly basis to conquering all the intimidating roller coasters of Six Flags Magic Mountain by the time he was a teenager, Noah developed a passion for this niche topic and an addiction to the adrenaline that he often got while riding Xcelerator at Knott’s Berry Farm.

Over the years of learning more about this hobby, he has accumulated years and years’ worth of knowledge surrounding all the different types of parks and thrill rides.

Theme parks are a uniquely interactive and enduring form of entertainment that have influenced architecture, technology, and culture in surprising ways for more than a century, as Scott Lukas now reveals in his compelling historical chronicle. Theme Park takes the primitive amusements of pleasure gardens as its starting point and launches from there into a rich, in-depth investigation of the evolution of the theme park over the twentieth century. Lukas examines theme parks in countries around the world—including in the United States, Mexico, Europe, Japan, China, South Africa, and Australia—and how themed fairs and parks developed through diverse means and in a variety of settings. The book examines world-famous and lesser-known parks, including the early parks of Coney Island; Madrid’s Movieworld; a series of World Fairs and their luxurious exhibition halls; Six Flags parks and virtual theme parks today; and, of course, the unparalleled achievements of Disneyland and Disney World. Lukas analyzes the theme park as a living entity that unexpectedly shapes people, their relationships, and the world around them. Theme parks have now become complex representations of the human mind itself, he contends, through its interpretations of books, feature films, video games, and Web sites. Ultimately, Theme Park reveals, the wider influence of theme parks can be found in the shopping malls, branded stores, and casinos that employ the tricks and techniques of amusement parks to dominate our entertainment world today. Packed with captivating illustrations, Theme Park takes us on historical roller coaster ride that both reanimates the places that shaped our childhoods and anticipates the future of escapism and fantasy fun.
