Detail

The most sought after theme parks today seem to be the most detailed. These details show that park designers are stressing a story. While detailed props add up financially they provide an kind of ora to the guest, even if the guest does not directly see or notice theme. Walt Disney insisted that guests could tell if a park was cared for and he went to great measures to give guests details that his colleges thought would too much.
So how far is to far? While every park can't affornd the detail of Disney, there does seem to be an incrase in theme park attendence with increase in theming detail. However, part of the art of theme park design is giving the guests a believiable experience at an affordable price. Design tricks in painitng/material choices, forced perspective and more can give a great experience at a great price.
This will contiue to be an miportant ar as the majority of theme parks can't afford the amount of theming they might desire.
