“…"The theme must refer to a story, an argument, which the visitor will assimilate during his/her visit in a progressive process of identification. The physical, landscape and aesthetic characteristics of the surroundings provide the forms" [5].

“…It appears that many theme park operators, especially in asia, misunderstand the definition of a theme park. "Theming implies creating special atmospheres and causing specific emotional responses from the consumers" [5]. Sophisticated visitors who have been exposed to other local or global theme parks now expect an exceptional experience in return due to growing consumer purchasing power [3].…”

Abstract-As the sophistication of consumers grows, the theme park industry is preparing to become more interactive with state-ofthe-art technology and immersive storytelling. Visitors expect an outstanding experience in theme parks, and this can be delivered by attractions that have a strong media-driven narrative content. In this study, we analyzed theme park attractions that employ interactive animated narratives and which demonstrate the immersion and emotional connection that can be experienced by visitors. For the analysis, we used the actantial model and the semiotic square, both developed by A.J. Greimas. Through this we found that the animation characters took key roles that led the narrative in the attraction. Moreover, both the animation"s content and attraction maximize fantasy and verisimilitude by making use of precise technologies to create a highly-regarded experience for visitors.

Over the past few decades, in both the USA and Europe, many cultural landscapes (CLs) facing social and economic decline have been revitalized through processes embracing planning, design, touristic ideas, heritage resources, local administrations and communities, resulting in cultural or heritage parks (HPs). This paper forms part of the debate on CLs and highlights their rehabilitation via HPs. The research raises the question of the role HPs have played within the restoration of CLs while aiming to bring the discussion into the current sustainable planning and land design debate. As a case study, it takes the experience of the Mondego River Heritage Park (MRHP), located in the central region of Portugal. The MRHP builds upon the European Landscape Convention, HPs' accomplishments and academic studies. Conclusions suggest heritage to be an effective driving force for sustainable development and the HP as an operative concept in the planning, land design and management of the territory.
