- This is the first monograph to offer analysis of the often-devalued phenomenon of theme park fandom, offering the only sustained exploration of this type of audience. The book draws on eight years’ worth of empirical site-based and online research to propose a theory of spatial transmedia. It develops new concepts for understanding the relationships between space and place and forms of transmedia storytelling, and between media producers and consumers. It thus offers insights valuable to those researching in Audience and Fan Studies, Tourism Studies, and Transmedia Studies, as well as scholars working on themed and immersive spaces more broadly.
