  • 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.

  • 98-186 Roller Coasters: Background and Design Spring 2015 Week 5 Notes
    98-186 Roller Coasters: Background and Design Spring 2015 Week 5 Notes Early Major Manufacturers Manufacturers NOTE: As a reminder, I would like you to know about Arrow Dynamics, Schwarzkopf, Vekoma, and Custom Coasters Int. (CCI) for this class, but other manufacturers are presented so you are aware of them. Arrow Dynamics (often shortened to Arrow) Founded in 1946 by WWII vets Karl Bacon and Ed Morgan. Originally a small company making merry-go-rounds and other minor attractions for local amusement parks They were contracted by Disneyland in 1953 to build many of Disneyland’s trademark rides, most of which were quite different than what else was around at the time Disney was pleased with their rides and continued to hire them for many years. This resulted in Arrow’s development of the modern steel roller coaster for the Matterhorn Bobsleds During the 60s, they didn’t do much coaster-wise, but worked towards developing the log flume, a roller coaster-esque water ride where riders sit inline in log themed boats and navigate a trough of water, culminating in a major drop and splashdown In the mid-1970s, they picked back up in the roller coaster market with the development of the modern inversion, securing their position as the dominant steel coaster manufacturer in the US o Their coasters were in high demand at this time. During the 70s / 80s, pretty much every major park had an Arrow coaster, if not multiple Arrow coasters One of Arrow’s major trait was of being innovators in the industry, often being the first to create a certain style of ride o They invented the suspended coaster, a style of coaster where the cars hang beneath the track rather than ride on top, and the cars can swing freely from side to side (unlike inverted coasters).

Roller coasters are iconic structures that provide safe thrills for riders. Safety is achieved using multiple safety mechanisms: for example, bogies have multiple wheels that hold trains on track, a block system prevents trains from colliding and riders are held in place with safety restraints. Regular maintenance checks are also performed to prevent accidents caused by failed parts. Roller coasters are designed using a heartline spline and calculating accelerations in all possible scenarios to prevent rollbacks and too high values of accelerations, which could cause damage to riders’ bodies. A reach envelope is applied to the spline to prevent riders from hitting nearby objects. The speed and curvature of the track combined create acceler- ations that need to be countered with adequate track and support structures. A track cross- section usually consists of rails, cross-ties and a spine, while support structures can vary depending on height and loads.
