Studios land here for turnkey dark-ride delivery; their broader design practice belongs in Experience Design & Master Planning. Not included here: Catalogue ride systems bought off-the-shelf → the specific Dark Ride vertical that matches the system. Pure media/AV suppliers to such projects → Theming, Media & Show Production verticals. Park-wide concept design and master planning → Experience Design & Master Planning.
