Pioneering state-of-the-art immersive attractions has its advantages. Universal and Disney have the resources, the vision and visitor numbers to be able to be the first to launch something new, create a buzz, deliver a “must-see” experience. However, the markets that stand to benefit most from developing immersive attractions are the new and expanding markets.
