All of these are issues that scholars should pay attention to nowadays. Therefore, this study centers on the theme park of dramatic space design from the perspective of rooted theory, and conducts one-on-one in-depth interviews with the designers and operators of the theme park of dramatic space design. From the process of interviews, data transcription, data coding, research results and analysis, the impact of dramatic space design on theme park enhancement was studied. The results show that strengthening the understanding of the value of dramatic space design among space designers and theme park operators is an important goal for theme park development. The significance of this study is that it is the first empirical study to verify that the experience brought by dramatic spatial design is the highest level of experience sought by tourists, and it is a new attempt to apply it to future theme park design. Compared with other theme parks of the same type, theme parks with dramatic spatial design need to focus on the experience needs of the visitors. Although this study puts forward certain theories and practices, due to the characteristics of the rooted theory itself and the personalized characteristics of the dramatic design of theme parks, the future research will further increase the sample size and comprehensively sort out the influence of dramatic spatial design on the strengthening effect of theme parks.
