IAAPA 2021: Where the Theme Parks and Attraction Industry Shops for Solutions
The world of amusement parks, theme parks, and interactive attractions actively shops for surveying, mapping, and geospatial services to build, grow, and expand their facilities.
Whether a client has physical space used for expansion or re-development, our AT department can deliver solutions to help them plan ahead and contemplate scenarios or configurations. Services such as modeling and simulation point cloud technology and digital twinning, as well as Building Information Modeling (BIM), can help theme parks and amusement parks visualize attraction layouts, guest traffic flow, and operations management solutions before a project begins—allowing Allen & Company to ensure their success.
IAAPA 2021 was a valuable opportunity to present our geospatial services to an industry that is in a constant state of development and re-development. The need to continue keeping attractions fresh and engaging for theme park and amusement venue guests keeps their owners expanding, repurposing and in many cases, they will tear down an attraction to replace it with a new one. Such work requires the support of a surveying, mapping, and geospatial services provider—before, during, and after the project is complete—and Allen & Company can deliver all the solutions they need, from ground-breaking to commissioning.
The amusement park industry continues to evolve as the physical world and digital world converge. Technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) have grown by leaps and bounds in the past decade, as the adoption of these becomes more cost-effective and easier to integrate. Theme and amusement park owners have made sizeable investments in their attractions in recent years, which means they will need surveying services regardless of the type of venues they host—since they are all built on solid ground. And this is exactly where Allen & Company is ready to deliver a wide range of solutions to make their concepts a reality.
The AT department is playing a major role in Allen & Company’s engagement of the amusement park industry, and we can’t wait for what the future will hold for us.
