Universal Studios Islands of Adventure.
Just like 1989...
The park was split in two via the studio arch (still standing at the top of Animation Courtyard) - it divided the studio theme park area and the “real” studio area.

It was a great park. Very very different than what's there now, and still lacking in attractions, but the Studio Backlot Tour was great and so were the actual working studios. I remember getting to see some animators working on Mulan.
The working studio concept due to lack of business may be gone, but it still has a good amount of behind the scenes and studio themed aspects. G Force Records, Backlot Express, Indy Stunt Spectacular, Sci Fi Dine in, Muppets, Star Tours' extended queue( know by default of being forgotten) Launch Bay, Mickey's Runaway Railway is a movie premier and Walt Disney Presents all have production and showbiz themes.

They have continued to take away however a lot of the little things that gave the studios a great vibe. Sids on the corner, the Writers Stop, even the city streets. While nothing was really there it had details visually and sounds that fit into the area. I wont even start on parades and the osborne lights... They even removed the art of disney which I always liked in the animation courtyard. Now its all just going generic and becoming another Disney Springs, same can be said for Epcot. Not to mention the brewery which was just an excuse to get alcohol in there to make money, another disney springs type thing that doesn't fit in the park at all, I dont care what they call that ill conceived area back there LA street or whatever, the cohesion is a mess. Obviously I dont care for the routes they have taken, I just prefer the MGM days, the vibe was stronger and more uniform, now its just this and that here and there like the parks are all becoming. , ohhh oops sorry I just realized this is really the guardians thread, not so much studios...carry on.

In concept a "films" theme with stepping into those worlds could be a great theme for a park. Have they not done that in EVERY other park for the past few years. With them shoving IP lands and rides everywhere, doesn't that make every park a stepping into "films" park.

You know there is a delete function.
The theme is "blue sky over an algae-filled pond."

But then they’re not theme parks anymore, they’re I.P. Parks

I.P. is not a theme, two separate things

The theme there is, Everything is Awesome

In this case I guess the theme is, "Let's keep the Galaxy safe from hyperdimensional bad guys with an obscure grudge against everyone living it." Also something to do with child trafficking.
So there you go - a theme!
