Masterplanning

If you are looking into developing a completely new theme park, extend your theme park with a new and exciting area, look into the opportunities of lodging, we always start with a masterplan that is feasible for you.

From this masterplan we continue into the various design phases for your theme park, themed area or resort and ensure your initial concept becomes reality.

Themed Area Design

If you are operating an existing park and are looking to extend the park with a new themed area, we can plan and design the complete thematic experience.

We can also take a look at an existing themed area and design a fitting overlay to present a new overall experience to your guests, using a mixture of new and existing rides.

Land of Legends

Bobbejaanland

Land of Legends is a unique new themed area at Bobbejaanland with a completely new coaster, yet it is also an upgrade of some existing rides to the current thematic standards within the European theme park industry.  The area shows the potential of taking a birdseye view and think outside the scope of the new ride itself and then explore the possibility to upgrade other rides in the park as well, in order to create a brand new themed area.  Having worked with Movie Park before on ‘Walking Dead®: Breakout’ and ‘Excalibur: Secrets of the Dark Forest’, we were asked to help with the redevelopment of a distant corner in Nickland.
