  • The Immersive Theme Park
    THE IMMERSIVE THEME PARK Analyzing the Immersive World of the Magic Kingdom Theme Park JOOST TER BEEK (S4155491) MASTERTHESIS CREATIVE INDUSTRIES Radboud University Nijmegen Supervisor: C.C.J. van Eecke 22 July 2018 Summary The aim of this graduation thesis The Immersive Theme Park: Analyzing the Immersive World of the Magic Kingdom Theme Park is to try and understand how the Magic Kingdom theme park works in an immersive sense, using theories and concepts by Lukas (2013) on the immersive world and Ndalianis (2004) on neo-baroque aesthetics as its theoretical framework. While theme parks are a growing sector in the creative industries landscape (as attendance numbers seem to be growing and growing (TEA, 2016)), research on these parks seems to stay underdeveloped in contrast to the somewhat more accepted forms of art, and almost no attention was given to them during the writer’s Master’s courses, making it seem an interesting choice to delve deeper into this subject. Trying to reveal some of the core reasons of why the Disney theme parks are the most visited theme parks in the world, and especially, what makes them so immersive, a profound analysis of the structure, strategies, and design of the Magic Kingdom theme park using concepts associated with the neo-baroque, the immersive world and the theme park is presented through this thesis, written from the perspective of a creative master student who has visited these theme parks frequently over the past few years, using further literature, research, and critical thinking on the subject by others to underly his arguments.

  • Vai Pra Disney Roteiro Walt Disney Studios Park Paris
    Vai Pra Disney Roteiro Walt Disney Studios Park Paris www.vaipradisney.com ROTEIRO DO WALT DISNEY STUDIOS PARK DICAS GERAIS SOBRE O WALT DISNEY STUDIOS PARK - A dinâmica do sentido anti-horário Aqui não funciona muito pois todo mundo já percorre o parque nesse sentido, dado que as atrações mais populares ficam do lado direito de quem entra. De qualquer modo, recomendo fazer o mesmo, nem que seja pra pegar FastPass para depois começar a explorar o outro lado. O roteiro abaixo já está nessa ordem. - Use o "Programme" para programar o seu dia São poucos os shows com horário marcado no Walt Disney Studios, mas se não quiser perder nenhum, é importante planejar bem o dia em conjunto com os horários dos seus FastPasses. Por isso, aqui também seu melhor amigo é o Programme, encontrado na entrada do parque e em todas as caixas registradoras de lojas e pontos de comida. - Aqui a Disney tem Single Rider Um recurso adotado por muitos parques e que o Walt Disney Studios adotou também foi a fila para Single Riders, que é uma fila especial para quem não faz questão de ir no brinquedo ao lado do resto do seu grupo. Com isso, os funcionários da atração conseguem completar os carrinhos com os "visitantes solitários" e maximizar a ocupação do brinquedo fazendo com esses single riders consigam entrar quase sempre muito mais rapidamente. É óbvio que o benefício de uma fila mais curta vem com a contrapartida de não poder entrar junto e sentar ao lado de quem está no mesmo grupo que você, mas eu acho que vale muito a pena, em especial porque dentro da atração, a gente não conversa com ninguém.

Other cases are available at: http://robins.richmond.edu/centers/case-network.html "Walt was never afraid to dream. That song from Pinocchio, 'When You Wish Upon a Star,' is the perfect summary of Walt's approach to life: dream big dreams, even hopelessly impossible dreams, because they really can come true. Sure, it takes work, focus and perseverance. But anything is possible. Walt proved it with the impossible things he accomplished."1 It is well documented that Walt Disney had big dreams and made several large gambles to propel his visions. From the creation of Steamboat Willie in 1928 to the first color feature film, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves” in 1937, and the creation of Disneyland in Anaheim, CA during the 1950’s, Disney risked his personal assets as well as his studio to build a reality from his dreams. While Walt Disney passed away in the mid 1960’s, his quote, “If you can dream it, you can do it,”2 still resonates in the corporate world and operations of The Walt Disney Company.
