The designers who they interviewed in this article, while what they said about immersive theme park design, was not anything new or revolutionary. Everything they talked about has been done before. I want to the next step to make theme parks even more exciting than they are now. How are parks like Disney and Universal going to change the game and create experiences that are all new and experiential in a way that visitors have never seen before. These are the things that theme parks should be thinking about; how to push the boundaries even further than they have already established.
To be honest, this article was nothing special. The concept, however, is something I hope to strive for in the future and in my theatrical career. I love walking into a show and being completely surrounded by story. I really thought Alice in Bed did a great job in pulling this off. Having attractions that are similar is a level of quality that theme parks should definitely strive towards. That kind of total experience really adds to anything that is actually going on. For example, Disney's Dumbo ride is nothing special, but their new attraction surrounding it, the circus tents, the place space, the music, really makes the attraction so much cooler because it feels like you're in an actual circus.
