Lanyu Culture Theme Park Planning and Design Department found based on major research institutions and its own experience that nine out of ten theme parks in China are losing money, but investors still invest in the parks one after another, so it reflects that the parks are actually profitable. Space, but most theme parks fail. So what happened to these failed theme parks? Today I will take stock of those abandoned theme parks. Maybe horror is a very suitable word to describe them. Then, by extension, they will be converted into horror movie shooting. Place, Christmas carnival place, horror experience base, exploration base... it may be a good choice.

How to build a park? Lanyu Culture Theme Park planning designer believes that there are many ideas for new parks, but in an environment where 90% of theme parks are losing money, waste recycling and abandonment may be a good choice. In this way It can not only save costs, but also maintain the same performance as before. Of course, not all parks can be successfully transformed. Finding a plan based on operational concepts and profit-making goals from Lanyu Culture is the key to success.
