With the handicraft industry to mechanical industry progress, the emergence of a large number of cities, this small form of mobile entertainment gradually evolved into a specialized outdoor-based playground. In the first half of the 20th century, the form of its relaxed and gentle grass garden type, to mechanical amusement devices as the characteristics of the pursuit of noisy, exciting amusement parks. After World War II, with the increasing diversity of lifestyles, scientific and technological development and economic prosperity, the formation of theme parks innovative concept of tourism landscape.

Disneyland more fully utilize its extensive influence in the film industry, to its success in shaping the cartoon image as the most effective advertising and the most appealing publicity for the development of theme parks play a good role in promoting. With the rise and development of theme parks, film and television and theme parks have become a complementary relationship.

Recently, it has chosen to build the next Disneyland in Hong Kong, China. In addition, The Walt Disney Company has been actively developing into a comprehensive entertainment group, and has now developed into a large multinational company, whose business involves entertainment, film and television, advertising and tourism.

The entertainment performances of the attractions are divided into the following categories:

Folklore performances are song and dance performances, mainly through the form of songs and dances with certain plots to show the different aspects of different ethnic groups' labor and life. This kind of performance is distinctive, wide range of subjects, full of festive and joyful atmosphere. The second is the demonstration of national handicraft production.

The rise of urban tourism and the development of community tourism and entertainment centers in today's world, the technological revolution is changing rapidly, the rapid progress of social and economic development, the process of urbanization has accelerated, human civilization has entered a new stage. With the advancement of retirement age, the shortening of working hours, the increase of paid vacations, and the promotion of flexible working system and home working system, people's leisure time has increased unprecedentedly. It can be said that mankind has entered the era of mass leisure. With the passage of time, people are no longer satisfied with the previous way of leisure, and began to pursue the improvement of the quality of leisure.

The resulting huge social demand has driven the tourism and leisure industry to make great strides. In the United States, for example, U.S. residents spend as much as 3,400 billion U.S. dollars a year on leisure and entertainment. Especially after the end of the Cold War, high-tech in the tourism and entertainment industry in a large number of applications, so that the tourism and entertainment industry to accelerate the development of the whole economic development. Tourism has become the world's largest industry, and the leisure and entertainment industry occupies an important position. One of the prominent manifestations is the rise of urban tourism and the development of community tourism and entertainment centers.

Cities, especially metropolis, as a country or a region of politics, economy, transportation, culture and foreign exchange center, often also tourism management, reception, distribution center. Metropolitan tourism is a combination of international and domestic tours, reception of tourists and output of tourists, and is the unity of tourist destinations and source of output. At present, the world's major metropolises have shown the above characteristics.

At the same time, urban community recreation centers are also booming. These centers are closer to the residents' lives, smaller in size, and generally without large amusement facilities. Such as the United States, New York, "Niliya Bailey Community Recreation Center", covers an area of only a few hectares, in addition to the traditional merry-go-round, ride-along amusement rides, children's walkers, miniature golf course, baseball batting room, there are a number of goats, chickens and other livestock and poultry. An arcade is flanked by small stores and amusement rides. These recreation centers make up the majority of the more than 600 small, medium, and large amusement parks throughout the United States, mostly in densely populated urban communities. In Europe and Japan in recent years, there are also a large number of such community entertainment, leisure places. They have been built and developed to meet the leisure and recreational requirements of people who have a lot of free time, but for various reasons are temporarily unable to participate in long-distance travel. At the same time, these facilities often have a relatively defined area or function used to provide services for foreign tourists.

The development of the industry, especially the development of theme parks, reflects the characteristics and requirements of the modern social, economic, scientific and cultural development. With the rapid development of science and technology and the in-depth exploration of the national culture of each country, the theme park means of expression and cultural connotation is more rich. Based on this, a wide variety of social resources are gradually concentrated to the theme park, and through this method to get the fastest realization.
