Country Coverage
A theme park is a kind of amusement parks whose landscape, attractions, rides and other entertainment is based on a single or multiple themes. Theme parks can be either categorized as national or international based on their target visitors or as educational parks (Disney’s Epcot), family owned parks (Knott’s Berry Farm) and regional parks (Six Flag, Texas).
The idea of amusement parks was developed in nineteenth century when trolley parks or pleasure gardens were opened in United States and Europe, which were features with very basic yet unsafe rides and attractions like wild animals, strongman, etc. But in 1955, Disney changed the entire landscape of amusement park industry by opening completely different and innovative parks. Following Disney, many other amusement/theme parks started to open worldwide. Today’s amusement park industry ranges from large, worldwide type theme parks such as Walt Disney World and Universal Studios Hollywood to smaller and medium-sized theme parks such as the Six Flags parks and Cedar Fair parks.
In 2014, the global theme park industry has increased with a healthy growth rate. This growth was contributed by all major regions. Latin America recorded the highest growth in volume of theme parks, followed by Asia and Europe. Among the top amusement park groups, Universal has recorded exceptional double digit growth rate in 2014.
The global theme park industry has the potential to grow further over the coming years. The main factors driving this growth would be increasing tourism spending, increasing urban population, growing middle class population, rising GDP worldwide and continuous technological up-gradation in amusement/theme parks. The majority of future growth lies in Asia Pacific region, due to poor park-population ratio, rising income levels and increasing expenditure on leisure activities in this region. Yet global theme park industry faces some challenges such as availability of alternatives, adverse effect of slow economic growth and seasonality.
