The main feature of a theme park is the presence of a theme, something that unites the entire structure of the park, making it a single space. The theme of the park is not just a name that unites disparate elements; the theme should be seen in everything, from the attractions to the colors of the trash cans.

Design plays an important role in thematization. For example, in the company Disney there is a special department - Walt Disney Imagineers , which is responsible for the development and design of all parks.

The use of the latest technical innovations and developments is a necessary condition for the development of a theme park. There is a constant process of improvement and modernization of existing attractions, as well as the creation of new high-tech attractions. Almost every year, in various countries, new records are set for height, speed, and other parameters of attraction equipment.
