    The Experience Imagination: A Themed Entertainment Podcast by Falcon's Creative Group is a phenomenal podcast that delves into the world of creating theme parks and attractions. Each episode provides a unique and fresh perspective, making it an excellent listen for anyone interested in the industry.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the diverse range of viewpoints presented in each episode. From designers to engineers to marketers, the show features professionals from various fields within the themed entertainment industry. This allows listeners to gain insights from different perspectives and truly understand the multidisciplinary nature of creating immersive experiences. It's fascinating to hear how each guest contributes their expertise to make theme parks and attractions even more exciting.

    Another great aspect of The Experience Imagination is its ability to shed light on aspects of the industry that are often overlooked or not well-known. The podcast goes beyond just discussing popular theme parks; it explores less talked about topics such as designing virtual reality experiences or incorporating storytelling into queuing areas. This brings a refreshing depth and breadth to the episodes, offering valuable knowledge that isn't readily available elsewhere.

    As for drawbacks, one could argue that occasionally, some technical terms or jargon are used without much explanation. While this may not be an issue for individuals well-versed in the field, newcomers or casual enthusiasts might find themselves needing further clarification on certain concepts. However, this can easily be addressed by conducting additional research or reaching out to fellow listeners or industry professionals for assistance.

    In conclusion, The Experience Imagination: A Themed Entertainment Podcast is a must-listen for anyone fascinated by theme parks and attractions. With its insightful interviews and diverse range of perspectives, it offers a unique look into an industry that often remains behind-the-scenes. Whether you're a professional in the field or simply curious about how these immersive experiences come to life, this podcast will provide you with captivating content and ensure you're up-to-date with all things themed entertainment.

    Welcome to our first episode of the year! There are so many exciting things happening in the world of technology right now that we thought we'd start off 2022 by going into detail about one of them - real-time engines. Their impact on content creation has blown up over the last decade or so. But what exactly is real-time and what does it allow creators to do?

    Welcome to our final episode of the year! Because it's the holiday season, we wanted to do something special for this podcast and focus on entertainment that gives back. We all know how lucky we are to work in themed entertainment. I mean, this job is about making people happy. That's really the goal. What we create at Falcon's is definitely a form of escapism, but it goes beyond that. It's about forging lasting memories, engaging people on unexpected levels, and perhaps even giving them a different perspective, whether it's about the environment, animals, the interconnectedness of human beings, whatever it may be.    ABOUT THIS PODCAST: "Experience Imagination" is a Themed Entertainment Podcast presented by Falcon's Creative Group, a design studio and media house that works to create immersive experiences around the world.

    As you probably know, the annual IAAPA Expo took place in Orlando from November 16th to the 19th. In addition to hosting guests at our own booth, something we love doing every year, we brought a recording kit with us so we could interview a few attendees on the floor and get their takes on the big convention, where the industry is headed, and how they feel about gathering in person again at the industry's largest event.
