In 2013, Lotte World debuted the world's first 'upscale' ticketing zone and main entrance experience. More akin to a luxury hotel than a traditional theme park, the park dispensed with the traditional plexiglass barriers still found at most parks around the world.

With the recent announcement that European music festival producer 'Tomorrowland' would be collaborating with Plopsaland De Panne on the design of the upcoming 'The Ride to Happiness' roller coaster, here's a look at some other instances in which these two mediums have intersected.

In 2013, Insomniac and its founder, Pasqualle Rotella, collaborated with Legacy Entertainment on the design on several highly-themed stages, including the post-apocalyptic BASSCON stage at the company's signature Electric Daisy Carnival event in Las Vegas.

Lotte's Magic Forest theme park in Busan, Korea, utilizes a spoke and hub master planning configuration, best known from Disney's 'Castle parks'. At the center of the hub is 'The Story Tree'- a large animatronic tree set within a sunken amphitheater, modeled after the Fairyland Theater in Japan's Sanrio Puroland theme park (a project created by Legacy Entertainment's predecessor- Landmark Entertainment Group). Around the hub are five gateways leading to the park's different theme zones.

These illustrations were developed during the theme park's concept design phase, and may have changed or been eliminated during subsequent design phases.

In earlier iterations of the project wherein the main component of Phase 1 was to be a Water Park, Legacy Entertainment collaborated with Cirque du Soleil and WhiteWater to develop a groundbreaking water park filled with brand new attractions, as well as new takes on old classics. One area of the park was inspired by Disney's shuttered 'River Country' water park, and would have featured a variety of participatory activities, including rope climbs, zip lines, rope & trapeze swings, along with a few waterslides integrated into the elaborate rockwork berm.

In the early stages of the design of Universal Studios Singapore, a variety of design concepts were solicited for several of the park's key attractions. For the Madagascar dark ride, Legacy Entertainment proposed a trackless interactive ride with guests taking photos of their journey with onboard cameras. Ultimately, a different scheme was selected, which opened in 2011 as the 'Madagascar: A Crate Adventure' boat ride.

'Dream Mountain' was a theme park concept developed by Legacy Entertainment in 2011 for the city of Fuzhou, China. Unique elements of the design include a two-sided 'main street', as well as the figure-8 hub configuration.

Before being changed to an off-road driving ride using high-capacity African safari jeeps, the 'Lost World Safari' in the park's 'Adventure Tales' zone was planned as a large-scale boat ride.

'Magic in the Movies' is a unique studio tour concept in-development for an unspecified location in Asia. Through large-scale miniatures, interactive displays, and multimedia spectaculars, guests will be given an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at the process of film and television production.

HotGo DreamWorld's design features lands based on story genres, including Fairy Tales, Adventure Tales, Coming Tales, among others. One land eliminated during the park's concept design phase was the 'Scary Tales'.

Signature attractions of this area would have included 'The Banshee' B&M Inverted Coaster (designed nearly 5 years before The Banshee B&M Inverted Coaster at King's Island was announced), and 'The Monster' Maurer X-Car Launch Coaster with a non-inverting loop set around the land's entrance. The Gravity House / Tilt House attraction was moved to the park's Fairy Tales zone, and was included in the final design.

Located in the park's Underland zone, the 'Rock Tumbler' is a custom Huss Frisbee placed adjacent to the 'Giant Digger' roller coaster to create a near-collision effect.

During the rapid concept design phase of Trans Studio Cibubur, a number of themes and motifs were explored and considered. One idea explored early on was the concept of the entire park carrying a Science Fiction / Future theme. In the final product, this future theme is limited to one section of the park, home to the popular Pacific Rim: Shatterdome Strike dark ride, and Alien Taxi spinning roller coaster. Other elements from this scheme, including the Science Center and Indoor Sky Diving were also realized.

In early development phases, Cirque Du Soleil created a unique water park concept with several first-of-their-kind attractions. One such attraction was the 'Net Drop'. Grabbing onto large lets, guests would have been hoisted in the air, free to let go at any time, and in any manner they wished. The 'bubble' aeration system from 'O' would have been implemented here to soften the impact of riders landing on the water. At night, the attraction would have been used as a performance stage for a small-scale Cirque du Soleil show. Wiegand GmbH & CoKG collaborated with Cirque du Soleil and Legacy Entertainment on the engineering of this unique water park attraction.

Plopsaland De Panne recently announced 'The Ride to Happiness', a new roller coaster attraction being designed in collaboration with Tomorrowland- Europe's largest music festival creator.

This is not the first time the world of theme park design and music festivals have overlapped. In 2013, Legacy Entertainment was approached by Insomniac's Pasqualle Rotella about transforming the company's signature 'Electric Daisy Carnival' event in Las Vegas into a theatrical experience, complete with immersive sets, giant animatronic figures, and puppets.

This event marked the debut of Insomniac's giant robotic owl which has since made appearances at EDC New York, EDC Orlando, and EDC Mexico.

HotGo DreamWorld's largest and most-ambitious dark ride was a unique attraction called 'Around the World'. Designed for a client obsessed with replicating Disney, the experience would have been a combination of two of Disney's most popular dark rides- Peter Pan's Flight and It's a Small World. Riding in suspended hot air balloons, guests would have been taken on a journey around a world inhabited by adorable mice characters designed by Phil Mendez (best known in the theme park realm for his work on Monster Mansion at Six Flags Over Georgia). Many industry veterans collaborated on the development of this ride, including Don Carson and Bob Baranick. Located along the park's 'Golden Promenade' main street section, the facility for this ride was constructed before the project halted, and remains there to this day.
