"The Park"
Just what is "Emersive Experience"? We did not know much about this form of theater until we read articles that were linked in Maxim's piece writted by Scott Tharler. Following is an exerpt from Maxim, in case you missed the article:CIRQUE DU SOLEIL IS ABOUT TO OPEN THE WORLD'S MOST INCREDIBLE THEME PARK - This is way weirder than Disney World.

Theme Park University—which originally broke the news about "The Park," as it's being called right now—had revealed some artwork back in December 2015 and again this past July, before bringing us the images you see here just this week.
