It is rare is rare for an attraction to be
built at the park without some amount of concept drawings to have
been produced to give an idea of what the attraction will look

When the park
are considering new areas and attractions they often provide
several mood boards, showing lots of different options for the

coming up with ideas for the park, even their own marketing
department. Here are some of our favourite 'miscellaneous' concept
designs.
