CHAPTER I
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR THEME PARK DEVELOPMENT
Creating a captivating, sustainable, and financially successful theme park

experiences require a thorough understanding of the many factors at play, from
market analysis and site selection to thematic development and operational strategy.
To consider the complex interactions between various elements that influence the
planning, execution, and long-term viability of this dynamic recreational area, this
chapter provides the crucial aspects that are inherent in theme park development.
1.1. Theme Development
"A social artwork designed as a four-dimensional symbolic landscape,

evoking impressions of places and times, real and imaginary" is the definition of a
"theme park" (King, 2000, pp. 837-739). Within the business, the term is used
imprecisely, conflating classic amusement and thrill parks with more typical, but
culturally restricted, themed venues. But the distinctions are evident.
Its purpose is to create an imaginary place to produce a psycho-social

engagement that gives a story, mental and emotional dynamics, dramatic detail and
aesthetic states. A captivating theme that resonates with the target audience and
permeates all aspects of the park, including rides, attractions, landscaping,
architecture, and even staff costumes are the factors that create a Theme Park.
1.2. Site Selection
‘The characteristics are synthesized to define a theme park as “a closed space

with controlled access and a thematic identity that employs performative labor or
adopts merchandising to form a site that affords visitors opportunities for hybrid
consumption and the possibility of themed experiences.’ (Liang and Lee, 2019)
Page 1 of 76
Britain's national tourism administration has proposed the ideal of the theme
park location must meet four conditions which was that in 2-hour driving range there
is a population of 12 million or less than 1h from big tourist resorts, it must be near
two commercial concentration areas, it compared with other theme parks adjacent at
best and it is within 15 minutes according to the main road traffic.
At the same time the institute points out five important factors to consider of
the theme park land location which are that it is located beside the main trunk or
nearby, the line of sight is open, there is plenty of water, electricity, sewage treatment
facilities, the residents nearby don't mind and there are plenty of lands. (Hu, 2013)
Selection of a location with sufficient space for development, good

accessibility, and considerations for future expansion. The site should also offer
attractive natural features or allow for creative landscaping to enhance the theme.
1.3. Master Planning
Yabing Li (2007) put forward the theme park spatial economic structure is
mainly composed of theme tourism clusters around space structure and the structure
of land use spatial structure and layout of the formats.
According to Leisure Business Advisors LLC, it is crucial to create a

comprehensive master plan that outlines the layout of the park, including the
placement of attractions, amenities, guest services, backstage areas, and circulation
routes. Consider factors like guest flow, sightlines, and thematic coherence.
The functional arrangement frequently adopts the "loop" design that is

typical of many modern amusement parks. The themed zones in this arrangement
are centered around a lake, which frequently acts as the venue for nighttime events.
The "hub and spoke" design, which was initially made popular by Disneyland, is
another typical pattern. Its focal point is a visual emblem, such a castle, from which
thematic sections radiate outward. There are numerous layouts in use, although none
stand out as being better than the others. The selection of the most functional layout
Page 2 of 76
is influenced by specific site features, just as other design elements.
This strategy aids in optimizing both crowd flow and total holding capacity.
For convenience, the main stores are typically located close to the exit.
To guarantee easy travel throughout the theme park, a visitor circulation plan
can also be created based on regular guest behavior and pedestrian planning
guidelines. This reduces congestion and improves visitor comfort.
1.4. Attraction Variety
Under certain conditions, however, theme attractions can become more

effective than thrill ones. This is true if a certain area of a park has become too
saturated with thrill type rides, or a recent theme is especially popular amongst the
public. Another conclusion of the study is that it is more efficient to invest in
multiple smaller attractions than in one large attraction. (Dvorachek, 2018)
To offer a diverse mix of attractions catering to different age groups,

interests, and thrill levels is one of the most impactful attributes of a theme park.
According to the study of Dvorachek, theme park attraction attributes are as follows:
Spin, Drop Tower, Water flumes, Omni mover, Roller coaster, Fast Guided track,
Show, Simulator, Train, Variable Track, Truck, Based on well-known story,
Environment, Age interest, Thrill scale, Sensory Scale, Auditory, Olfactory, Tactile,
and Examples.
1.5. Safety Measures
When sustainability of tourism is considered, the safety record of theme

parks and amusement venues must be something that owners and operators put at
the top of their lists.
ASTM F 24 on amusement rides and devices is the only standards-writing

body with exacting safety standards on amusement rides and devices (IAAPA,
Page 3 of 76
2010). The adherence to these standards is voluntary, unless the adoption of these
standard has occurred at the state level or an organization has self-imposed these
standards. (Avery and Dickson, n.d.)
Prioritizing safety throughout the park's design can be achieved by including

ride safety features, provision for spaces emergency procedures, crowd management
design strategies, and accessibility for guests with disabilities.
1.6. Thematic Immersion

Theme games such as roller coaster and leap over the horizon have a positive
overall rating, which is consistent with previous studies of (Guo et al., 2017; Wei et
al., 2021). It indicates that the sense of immersion, memorable and unique
experience of tourists will greatly enhance their satisfaction, thus triggering their
intention to revisit.
It is through creating an immersive environment through thematic

storytelling, scenic design, landscaping, architecture, lighting, sound effects, and
special effects that creates an encouraged suspension of disbelief and transport
guests into the world of the theme.
1.7. Queue Management
Nevertheless, waiting in a long queue is never desirable. The frustration can

be significant enough to stop the customer visiting the theme park again. Therefore,
if queuing can be organized or designed into a mechanism in which people do not
repeatedly queue for a ride, satisfaction must be significantly increasing.
Design of efficient queue lines with interactive elements, shade structures,

and themed environments is effective to enhance the waiting experience and reduce
perceived wait times. It is recommended to consider implementing virtual queuing
systems or ride reservation systems for added convenience.
Page 4 of 76
1.8. Environmental Sustainability
A growing number of customers demand simple, effective, and enjoyable

service in addition to a high level of environmental protection. It seems that a lot of
travelers these days choose locations that are unspoiled, safe, and uncrowded.
(Shabazz, et.al., 2017)
Certain steps towards sustainability measures include incorporating

sustainable design principles into the park's infrastructure and operations, including
energy-efficient buildings, renewable energy sources, water conservation measures,
waste management programs, and green spaces.
1.9. Technology Integration
The current development of the virtual reality market is driven by the

continuous digitization advancements in the technology. An increasing number of
theme parks have incorporated VR technology as an innovative way to attract more
visitors by creating unique experiences. (Oakley, 2019)
1.10. Flexibility for expansion
Flexibility for future expansion of theme parks is crucial for ensuring

sustained growth, attracting repeat visitors, and keeping up with changing trends and
technologies. It is important to design the park layout and infrastructure with
flexibility to accommodate future expansion and growth. Allot annual events for the
theme park’s promotion and collaborate with other industries.
1.11. Climate Considerations
McClung [9] pointed that the one of the most important factors influencing
park attendance is climate. In the theme park, many thrill rides are in outdoor areas.
The weather and climate are the key issues. To make the park safe and enjoyable to
visit all year round, the designing and planning about the logistic and construction
Page 5 of 76
of the theme park are crucial. Given the tropical climate of the Philippines, it is
recommended to design the park with ample shading, cooling stations, and indoor
attractions to provide relief from the heat and occasional rain showers. Incorporate
lush landscaping with native plants that thrive in the local climate.
1.12. Accessibility
Tourism is an important aspect in the lives of many people, including people

with disabilities. “Tourism fulfills human desirable, trans-situational goals, needs
and values. Individuals with disabilities are often socially excluded, at home and
while visiting or travelling” (Zenko & Sardi, 2014, p. 653). Certain accommodations
must be present in theme parks in order to conveniently cater to PWDs are: Special
access to attractions, wheelchair/ EVC Rental, Allowance of Service Animals,
Braille Accommodations, Hotel Room Accommodations, and Assistive Listening,
that are all present in Walt Disney World.
1.13. Capacity Planning
Previous studies have identified a number of factors affecting a theme park’s

capacity. For instance, it has been suggested that the number of theme park visitors
affects their waiting time, whereas visitors’ waiting time affects their satisfaction
level (Liang 2009; Zhang, et al. 2012).
Design the park with consideration for capacity management to avoid overcrowding
during peak seasons. It is effective to incorporate features such as wide walkways,
multiple entry points, and queue management systems to ensure a smooth flow of
visitors.
1.14. Entertainment and Education
More important aspects of amusement and theme parks are their rich
entertainment resources which have great potential for family recreation and youth
development. A theme park in particular, with an array of well-designed programs
Page 6 of 76
and fun-driving attractions, could be a wonderful site for parents to allow their young
kids to grow in many areas. (Lee, Bob and Jin, Lei, 2021) "Family Recreation and
Theme Parks," Visions in Leisure and Business: Vol. 23: No. 1, Article 5.
Offer a mix of entertainment and educational experiences that appeal to a

wide range of visitors. Incorporate interactive exhibits, live shows, and themed
experiences that entertain while also providing opportunities for learning about
Filipino culture, history, and natural heritage.

CHAPTER II
LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR THEME PARK

DEVELOPMENT
Theme parks have steadily developed from the early 1900s to rank among the most
popular categories of tourist attractions. Theme parks have become lucrative
destinations for some places. It offered vital reasons to visit and somewhat made up
for the lack of attractions in many places. Theme parks are becoming popular
vacation destinations and global entertainment trends, as highlighted by Liu [8] and
Milman [11].
It is not just a kind of attraction; it is also a reason to go and a mode of transportation.

Page 40 of 76
3.3.7. Surficial and Bedrock Geological Mapping
The Quingua Series, San Manuel Series, and Tagulod Series

are the three soil types found in the main type of Malolos, which are the
soils of the alluvial terrain. The Matimbo and Masantol series, which are
coastal landscape soils, as well as the Loamy and Mucky tidal swamps,
which are miscellaneous soil types, are additional soil types included in
the Malolos soil map.
A large portion of Mabolo and Malolos' soil is the result of

alluvial deposits carried by rivers such as the Pampanga and Angat rivers.
Alluvial soils have high quantities of nutrients and organic matter,
making them generally fertile and ideal for agriculture.
3.3.8. Man-Made Hazards
3.3.8.1. Typical Environmental Hazards
According to the City of Malolos Contingency Plan

report, probability and impact ratings of earthquake and flooding
rank as the City of Malolos' top two hazards. Typhoons and storm
surges are classified as secondary risks under flooding, which is
ranked first. Earthquake ranks first, with tsunami and ground
shaking coming in second and third. The enormous destruction
that might result from the Big One, or an earthquake of magnitude
7.2, jolting the west valley fault line and causing immense
destruction throughout the metropolis.
3.3.8.2. Existing Building Structures
The existing building structures around the site form a

critical component in the site selection and the eventual design
Page 41 of 76
planning of the Proposed Theme Park. Present around the site is
a Restaurant on the east, and a retail store building on the west.
Both structures integrated the use of fire wall. The structural
integrity of both buildings is evident in its robust framework and
well-maintained components.
3.3.8.3. Surface Water
Approximately 577.61 meters away from the site is the

Malolos River, which is particularly situated in the Teachers
Village. The Malolos River is a significant water way to
the regional ecology and provision of water for neighboring
communities' needs, including irrigation. It has an average
elevation of 4 meters, a minimum of 1 meter and a maximum of
7 meters. The barometric pressure of Malolos river is 101 Kpa.
Inadequate drainage, excessive surface runoff from

various waterways, high tide, overflow from silted rivers and
creeks, strong rainfall linked to typhoons, and coastal flooding
are all potential sources of flooding in the City of Malolos.
Generally, the flood danger of the rivers in Bulacan is
categorized as high due to the present availability of modeled
flood statistics from thinkhazard.org.
3.3.9. Natural Hazards
In order to create constructed environments that are safe,

robust, and sustainable—that safeguard people, property, and
ecosystems—it is imperative that designers take natural hazards into
account. This will enable adaptive responses to the challenges presented
by a changing climate and the danger of natural disasters.

Bulacan, Philippines stretches to 34.2 kilometers, known as the
West Valley Fault. According to the Assessment of
PHIVOLCS, 34.2 kilometer is described as safe, but with a
High Susceptible risk of Liquefaction.
Although Malolos does not usually have a high risk of

landslides like other hilly or mountainous areas, there are still
parts of the city that could be vulnerable to shallow landslides,
particularly after a lot of rain or when human activity disturbs
the naturally occurring slopes.

CHAPTER IV
Case Studies
4.1. Best Practices for Theme Park
From the Case Study of Competitive strategies in the US theme park industry: A
Popular Media Perspective
Theme parks, like any durable goods industry, must obtain an increasing
share of business from repeat customers (Braun and Milman 1994).. To attract
them, parks must continually enhance experiences to outshine past visits,
necessitating investments in new rides and attractions. This competitive strategy
incurs substantial upfront costs as parks strive to offer cutting-edge designs.
In the late 80s, central Florida's theme park industry was led by Walt Disney
World (WDW) with competing parks. The market structure and nonprice behavior
limited price competition. Research backed a dominant-firm model with followers
for pricing at WDW and its main competitors. To attract this business successfully,
convincing potential guests that new parks offer superior vacation experiences
compared to previous visits necessitates designing and constructing exciting new
rides, attractions, and parks. However, this nonprice competition involves high
sunk costs, with parks striving to introduce cutting-edge designs. Yet, the stakes
are heightened by investing in these new features without a guaranteed market
demand.
The parks and resorts division is one of the Walt Disney Company's four
main divisions, together with the following other business segments: studio
entertainment, consumer products and media networks. In all these cases, the aim
of the company is to produce entertainment experiences based on quality creative
content and exceptional storytelling. The company's strategy concerning parks is
characterized by three principles: increased frequentation, increased length of stay
by visitors to parks and increased visitor expenditure. To achieve this, in addition
Page 52 of 76
to increasing the existing parks' capacity to attract and creating new operative
systems such as 'fast passes' to avoid queue-associated problems and improve
customer satisfaction
Universal Studios exploited WDW's vulnerabilities by targeting young

adults seeking high-tech thrills and diversified attractions, leveraging its successful
California site to introduce proven attractions. Universal invested in high-tech
rides and maintained quality despite technical delays, reinforcing its commitment
to the central Florida market.
Other theme parks also include SeaWorld Research and Rescue Foundation
as an independent, non-profit-making organization supported by SeaWorld and
Movie World Park, which consists of a number of movie-themed attractions on a
surface area of 100 ha, both parks are most lucrative.
As for Harmonyland, it has the possibility of expanding its sphere of

influence to South Korea, as well as other improvements affecting operational
aspects and contents. In any case, it is worth highlighting the character, which feed
from the popularity of Hello Kitty and the other characters created by Sanrio. In
the case of Harmonyland, which is out of doors, in addition to the attractions and
events, the park teaches visitors about Oita's natural environment and cultural
heritage.
Wannado City is a $45 million covered theme park for 4- to 11-year-olds,

created by CIE. Their goal is to expand this concept to other American cities. It's
the first Latin American park in North America, offering educational and fun
activities under the slogan 'At Wannado City, kids can do what they ‘Wannado!'.
Another project in Gurnee Mills, Chicago, operated by the Mills Corporation, aims
to become an international leisure spot with themed areas, rides, shows,
technology, architecture, gardens, and a 550-year-old castle for a unique
experience.
The theme is how to attain such accomplishment (Wong and Cheung, 1999).
Page 53 of 76
For this reason, some writers decide to characterize parks according to a set of
attributes. In general, all of the characteristics are required to distinguish a theme
park from other attractions; none of them alone is sufficient. The following
characterization, which is based on a number of factors, enables one to positively
identify theme parks as ludic locations dedicated to play, imagination, knowledge,
and escape. The following traits are present in theme parks:
1. They have a thematic identity that determines recreational alternatives.

2. They contain one or more themed areas.
3. They are organized as closed spaces or with controlled access.
4. They have a great capacity to attract families.
5. They contain enough rides, shows and systems of movement to create a visit that
lasts on average some 5 to 7 hours.
6. They present atmospheric forms of entertainment (musicians, characters or
actors who perform in the street).
7. They have an important commercial vocation.
8. They have high levels of investment per unit of ride or show capacity.
9. They have high-quality products, service, maintenance, and standards of
cleanliness.
10. They manage their productive and consumer processes centrally.
11. They incorporate technology as much in the production processes as in those of
consumption.
12. They have a single (‘pay-one-price’) admission system.

4.2. Adaptability of Innovations to Philippine Setting
From the Case Study of:

Theme Park in Central Philippines International Review of Humanities and
Scientific Research and Measuring and examining innovation in Philippine
business and industry
In the Philippines, the tourism industry is steadily growing, as evidenced by

the increase of tourist influx in the region. With the government’s direction of
enhancing local revenue to augment fund sources and sustain programs, investing
in income generating projects is vital. Individuals are more interested in avatar
rides and the like as added attractions in the theme park, confirming the findings
of Valcic et al. (2015) that the visitors’ purpose in visiting in the park was primarily
on the “desire for an adrenaline experience.” According to Bomediano and

Cabaron (2019), the following are the motivational factors for the Filipinos from
Central Luzon for visiting theme parks:
Past research has shown that simulated environments are more immersive
due to evoking subjective and psychological responses similar to real
environments (Wedel et al., 2020). Since the main goal of theater is to engage as
many audiences' senses as possible (Lakka, Malamos, Pavlakis, & Ware, 2019),
AR provides the advantage of connecting and enhancing the senses, potentially
providing deeper connectivity with emotions.
Page 55 of 76
Technological advancements have a significant impact on the tourist sector,
giving visitors a more engaging experience and raising their level of satisfaction
overall (Guttentag, 2010). Virtual reality (VR) is one new field of technological
innovation that is being used more and more in a variety of contexts, such as
marketing, education, and entertainment (Guttentag, 2010). Thanks to virtual
reality (VR), travelers can now have a more engaging and varied experience when
visiting a place or attraction (Han, tom Dieck, & Jung, 2018). Virtual reality (VR)
technology is being used by an increasing number of theme parks worldwide as an
inventive means of revitalizing its original characteristics in order to draw in more
guests. These parks are major tourist attractions (Jung et al., 2018).
Virtual reality (VR) creates lifelike computer-generated environments,

immersing users in various scenes. Theme parks are adopting VR on rides for
enhanced experiences. Augmented reality (AR) overlays virtual elements onto our
real world, enhancing storytelling in parks. Integrating AR experiences can boost
visitor engagement and retention in all parks. As businesses worldwide grapple
with harnessing these cutting-edge developments, many are turning to outsourcing
partners with the requisite expertise. Among these potential partners, the
Philippines, with its robust technology infrastructure and highly skilled workforce,
has emerged as a standout contender.
The UNCTAD also considered several factors before publishing the list,
particularly looking at the receptiveness of the local population to frontier
technologies. Frontier technology includes blockchain technology, the Internet of
Things (IoT), 3D printing, nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence (AI), among
others. Compared to other Southeast Asian nations, the Philippines performed
significantly better than the rest of the pack, only falling behind the trio of
Singapore (3rd), Thailand (49th), and Malaysia (32nd). Indonesia, Cambodia, and
Myanmar ranked 85th, 112th, and 133rd places, respectively. Although
developing countries are the least prepared to use frontier technologies, several
economies in Asia have made important policy changes that have enabled them to
perform better than expected according to their gross domestic product (GDP) per
capita. (UNCTAD, 2023)
Page 56 of 76
The last ten years have demonstrated how profoundly innovations—
particularly those related to technology—have changed the way we do things.
Innovation has always been linked to increased competitiveness and productivity.
As a result, governments understand that innovation plays a critical role in
sustaining economic growth and development and in identifying long-term
solutions to socioeconomic and environmental problems like boosting energy
efficiency and producing new jobs for a population that is still expanding.
The Philippines is placed 74th out of 128 economies in the 2016 Global
Innovation Index (GII) Report 2, which measures the overall innovation climate.
The nation is ranked fifth out of seven members of the Association of Southeast
Asian Nations (ASEAN), ahead of Indonesia (88th) and Cambodia (95th), but
behind Singapore (6th), Malaysia (35th), Thailand (52nd), and Vietnam (59th).
Encouraging innovation in Philippine business and industry is difficult

because of the limitations of the nation we operate in: limited resources (such as
required RSEs), conflicting goals of public policy, and institutional problems.
Quimba & Rosellon (2011) discusses the limitations faced by the local automotive
sector in terms of knowledge and technology transfer from their individual mother
company units, as well as other challenges related to weak network linkages.
Innovation policies should move away from a linear innovation model and
toward a model of the entire innovation ecosystem, with interventions carefully
considered in consultation with all stakeholders. This is because there are many
systems and measures in place to encourage the generation of new ideas, such as
tax incentives, IPR protection, and competitive S&T research. To facilitate
interactions between the various players involved in the innovation ecosystems—
universities, research laboratories, banks (for venture capital), and government
agencies overseeing various sectors, like the Department of Agriculture, the
Department of Health, the Department of DOST, and the Department of
Technology—a national innovation framework and action plan are necessary. This
innovation plan ought to take into account the needs of businesses as well as
industry-specific traits.
Page 57 of 76
It will undoubtedly take more financial resources to promote innovation, but
it will be crucial to scrutinize where these funds are allocated. Additionally, to
guarantee that innovation becomes mainstreamed, policymakers will need to find
a champion for innovation. It is important to take into account how stringent laws
may affect the uptake of new technologies and, consequently, innovation. As a
result, existing laws and regulations can impede innovation and creativity and even
unintentionally strengthen monopolistic positions in a market. These laws and
regulations do not always appropriately apply to new and developing technology.

Form Concept
I. Central Hub
Figure 15. Central Hub Form Concept
The LED display's spherical design makes it possible to view it from 360
degrees, providing an immersive visual experience from any aspect. Game trailers,
character animations, and live gaming footage are just a few examples of the dynamic
graphics that could be displayed on the sphere LED display in relation to popular video
games. Throughout the park, the sphere-shaped LED display may act as the center of
attention for presentations and themed events. For instance, the display might show live
feeds of gaming competitions, developer interviews, or unique content pertaining to
impending game releases during special gaming events or product debuts.
A programmable lighting effect and theme could be shown on the backlit keys,
giving the focal hub attraction more visual appeal. To create a dynamic and immersive
ambiance that captivates guests, park owners could coordinate the lighting with the
park's overall theme or with activities.
Page 62 of 76
The enormous massing in a form of a game controller is an effective attraction
to visitors as its void serves as an entry with adjacent LED TV display that will exhibit
shows, game previews, or game characters in 3d-effect action.
II. Park Gateway
Figure 16. Park Gateway Form Concept
Figure 17. Park Gateway Form Inspiration
To set the atmosphere from the time guests arrive, the park gateway
offers futuristic architectural components and eye-catching neon-resembling lighting with
considerations to the PWD. The park gateway will appear to be a portal to the Video Game
realm which is analogous to character selection in a game. Neon signs, LED strips, and
Page 63 of 76
holographic projections might be used to embellish the entrance to create an aesthetically
spectacular and immersive space reminiscent of the visuals found in video games.
Visitors may come across interactive character selection kiosks at the park entrance,
where they can select their avatars or identities for the park experience. The entrance to the
park may have special areas for selfies and photos, allowing guests to take priceless pictures
with their favorite characters and post them on social media. By adding photo challenges,
digital photo booths, or themed hashtags to improve the park's online visibility and
community involvement, park managers can promote user-generated conte

CHAPTER VII
Planning Concept
Figure 18. Planning Concept Inspiration
Featuring the map-based layout like the lanes and jungle areas in Mobile
Legends, the theme park could be designed with different zones representing distinct regions
of the battlefield. Visitors would navigate through these zones, each offering its own
attractions and experiences. In replication of the Mobile Legends battle field layout where
there is a middle ground for the two opposing themes, there could be a central hub area
where visitors begin their journey and return for breaks or to regroup. This hub could feature
amenities such as dining options and rest areas.
The layout of the theme park could also include designated lanes and paths that
guide visitors through the different zones. These paths could be wide enough to
accommodate foot traffic comfortably and could be themed to resemble the pathways found
in the game.
For a more immersive experience, it is effective to integrate interactive obstacles

and challenges along the paths to mimic the gameplay experience. For example, visitors
might encounter puzzles, mini-games, or physical challenges that they must overcome to
gain points or stamps to receive a small token of award. This encourages teamwork and
strategy among visitors as they navigate the park, just like in a real game setting. This also
Page 65 of 76
uses elements of storytelling to guide visitors through the park and immerse them in the
narrative of the different sub-themes found in the theme park.
By replicating the layout environment of such a battlefield in a game, the theme

park foot traffic flow concept offers visitors an engaging and immersive experience that
captures the essence of the game. The interactive obstacles and challenges along the
pathways encourage visitors to spend more time exploring the park, leading to increased
dwell time and higher spending on food, merchandise, and attractions. Encouraging visitors
to move through the park and participate in challenges promotes physical activity and
exercise, contributing to a healthier lifestyle for guests of all ages
Figure 19. Planning Concept Based on Sub-themes
The 5 sub-themes present in the proposed theme park are MOBA (Multiplayer
Online Battle Arena), FPS (First-Person-Shooter Games), Sandbox Games, Retro Games,
and the Overall collective gaming theme. These themes are based on their popularity in the
Philippines, with MOBA and FPSs with the most significance to Filipino Players. In
Page 66 of 76
consideration with young visitors and the incorporation of the theme park to be ‘family-
friendly,’ the Theme Park has included the Sandbox Games and Retro Games which are
designated to be adjacent with each other based on the zoning of the sub-themes. The
collective theme which encompasses all gaming themes are centralized on the theme park
in order to serve as a refresher and a retreat from all the other themes present in the park.
The theme serves as a commendation to the E-sports or the competitive video gaming
culture that has been growing in the Philippines. Gaming is now more than simply a pastime.
It is becoming a respectable professional path for companies as well as players. Players now
have the chance to compete professionally with the help of organizations and sponsors. The
option to select such a theme would be a definite advantage to the developers and the E-
sports community.
Figure 20. Planning Concept Based on Zoning
After the thematic zones are established, the individual parts are placed inside
each area. To draw visitors from across the park, the biggest rides and entertainment are
located at the edges of the lot. The attractions are also scattered within the lot with
different themes to create a sense of adrenaline and engagement especially to the young
Page 67 of 76
visitors and would also serve provisions for interactive obstacles.
The Utility zones are wisely placed excluded from the site of the façade in
order to maintain divisions between staff and customer flow. This strategy aids in
optimizing both crowd flow and total holding capacity. For convenience, the main stores
are typically located close to the exit. The open space of the Main Boulevard paves way
to the Central hub that stands as a central icon and attraction to the visitors, similarly to
Disneyland. The Theme Park also uses a ‘loop’ park layout that encourages visitors to
keep walking and avoid getting lost.

CHAPTER VIII
Branding Concept
8.1. Logo
Figure 21. Proposed Theme Park Logo
The logo depicts a futuristic, yet a simple representation of what the

gaming world is supposed to be. Red is used to signal that the player has done
something wrong, and green signals that the players have done something right.
This connection between colors and feedback is ultimately common in Video
Games, and generally, in real life. This logo is an analogy to the concept of
Chinese philosophy, Yin Yang. But in the case of Pixel Realm, right and wrong
is in a sense of balance with the equal sign the two lines create, hence
disregarding the number of rights and wrongs in playing video games, because
after all, the purpose of playing video games is enjoyment, leisure, and
amusement.
The X and Triangle buttons are replicated from the PS4 controller
buttons, which signifies the actual concept of the Theme Park. The gray chip
behind the logo represents a Central Processing Unit chip board which represents
the over all control to make a video game work. Any computing device,
including gaming PCs and consoles, is powered by a CPU. The performance of
a game, including aspects like frame rate, resolution, and graphical fidelity, is
Page 69 of 76
contingent upon the processing capability of a CPU.
8.2. Name and Slogan

Proposed theme park name: PIXEL REALM
Pixel Realm creates a captivating blend of the digital and real worlds,
providing guests with an immersive experience that immerses them in a lively
environment where video games come to life.
The development and history of video games are intricately linked to

the relationship between games and pixels. "Picture elements," or "pixels," are
the small dots that comprise images on displays. Pixels are the fundamental units
of the virtual worlds that gamers interact with in video games.
Proposed Slogan: Pixel Realm: Where Reality Meets the Game!
8.3. Colors
Proposed Brand Colors and their symbolisms:
Red
Red stimulates players and signals danger. Although making a mistake while
performing a task does not necessarily carry any danger, the color red still tells
players “Something is wrong, look out”. Conversely, red is frequently associated
with health depletion, damage, or injury within video games.
Page 70 of 76
Green
Green, on the other hand, is associated with nature and safety and, as a 2004
study showed, evokes positive emotions. In gaming, green is commonly used to
represent health, vitality, and healing. Health bars, hearts, or other indicators
often change color to green to signify a player character's well-being or recovery.
Gray
In order to create visual contrast, hierarchy, and legibility in interactive overlays,

HUDs (heads-up displays), and menus for video games, gray is frequently used
in user interface design. To improve readability and usability, neutral gray
backgrounds, borders, or text components can be used. This will make it easier
for players to browse game interfaces and get the information they need without
being distracted.
Black
In video games, black is frequently utilized to emphasize certain visual contrasts

and details in game objects, characters, and locations. To grab players' attention
and direct their focus within the game world, key items, characters, or interactive
aspects might be highlighted with dark, black backdrops or silhouetted shapes.
In platformers such as "Limbo" or "Inside," for instance, the sharp contrast
between black backdrops and silhouettes in the foreground increases the mood
and gameplay elements of the game.
8.4. Brand Values
Immersive Storytelling
Putting a strong emphasis on immersive storytelling as a fundamental brand

value, giving visitors the chance to enter the settings of their favorite video
games and take part in thrilling quests via intricately designed settings,
Page 71 of 76
captivating stories, and interactive features.
Adventure
Presenting the theme park as a hub for epic expeditions and exhilarating
experiences, giving visitors the ability to take on risky tasks, overcome obstacles,
and delve into enormous virtual environments teeming with adventure, wonder,
and discovery.
Adaptability
Adjusting and changing quickly in reaction to new developments in the gaming

sector, technology, and customer tastes in order to keep theme parks fresh,
interesting, and cutting edge for many years to come.
Expansion
In order to improve the guest experience and go above and beyond what visitors
expect, the theme park emphasizes investments in new technology, new themes,
infrastructure, and attractions. This shows a dedication to continuous
development and improvement.
