Parking Lot Design and Entrance Flow for Theme Parks

When it comes to Theme Park Parking Design, calculating the parking area is crucial. This is typically based on the park’s peak tourist volume. A common approach is the “theme park market penetration method”.
To determine the available market, we consider both the residential and tourist markets. By multiplying these by the market penetration rate, we can estimate the number of project visitors. Initially, it’s essential to conduct thorough market research to ascertain the annual tourist volume. This involves analysing data from both primary and secondary markets. Once this analysis is complete, we compare it with the penetration rates of similar attractions. This process helps us derive the annual tourist volume, with the instantaneous peak value being pivotal for calculating the parking area.
For instance, if the instantaneous peak value is estimated at 7,560 visitors, we can determine the parking lot’s area and capacity based on early tourist vehicle arrivals. Using the formula: Peak value 7,560 * 40% / 2.5 = 1,210 vehicles / 375 = 3.2 hectares of parking area, we can plan accordingly.
In summary, a well-thought-out and efficient Theme Park Parking Design not only fulfils the park’s parking needs but also ensures a positive first impression for visitors.
Entrance Dynamics and Visitor Flow
The journey from the parking lot to the park’s main entrance should be designed to be as short as possible. Our analysis suggests that a 300-metre, 10-minute walk is ideal, as longer distances may cause discomfort. To bridge any gaps, consider incorporating themed businesses along the route. Notable examples include the CityWalk at Universal Studios and Disney’s Downtown areas.
Besides pedestrian pathways, short-distance bus transportation can be a valuable addition. For instance, Orlando’s Disney World Resort, the largest Disneyland globally, offers various short-distance transport options. Located in Orlando, Florida, this resort features four massive theme parks, two water parks, 32 resorts, and 784 campgrounds, all interconnected by buses, rail cars, and other transport modes.
