Idora Park was much more than just the largest amusement park that ever existed in Oakland. Developed by real estate moguls who also owned a network of electric streetcars, this “mecca of pleasure seekers” played a significant role in the development of the East Bay, especially after the park sheltered thousands of refugees following San Francisco's devastating 1906 earthquake. Idora served as a showcase for cutting edge technological marvels, it helped launch the careers of several early Hollywood superstars, and it functioned as a vast testing ground for the emerging amusement industry until its closure in 1928. Nearly a century after Idora Park was bulldozed into history, curator Justin Limoges is resurrecting the memory of this mostly forgotten landmark through his upcoming “Idora Idora” exhibit*. In addition to showcasing historical materials, “Idora Idora” will explore the relationship between the amusement park and the very unique neighborhood that now exists in its footprint. In order to stimulate all the senses, Limoges has also commissioned an Idora-themed fragrance and an original song, performed by Greg Gardner with Jeremy Brown, Cass McCombs, and Ben Sigelman. [*The exhibit's site isn't live yet, but I'll post links on social media as soon as it's up.] Listen now to hear my conversation with Justin Limoges about what Idora Park's history can teach us about the evolution of amusement, collective memory, and the development of Oakland in the early 20th century.

Amusement Today recently presented the "2022 Golden Ticket Awards."  Think of it like the Oscars or Emmys for the Amusement Industry. On this week's show, we'll go through all the winners AND dissect the Top 50 Steel and Wooden Coasters. PLUS... EB has news about a new Game Show he appeared on as a contestant!

That's right ladies and gentlemen, it's time again to talk about the "most sought-after awards in the Amusement Industry". Before getting to that blunder, the guys have a lot to discuss. Kennywood is doing something dumb, counteracted by something kinda cool (per usual). SeaWorld sucks as we're hopeful all aware of by now. Sadly, once again tragedy has struck in our industry. Following The Golden Ticket ridicule that takes place in our second half, we discuss our weekly poll as typical (this week's being 'Is Blue Streak gone?'). SHOW NOTES: P'Sghetti Bowl Update Steel Curtain closes for the year with an announcement to rival the Volcano closure  Kennywood asks their guests what color Phantom's Revenge should be  Pantheon Opening Update - Members f'd again Child dies at Glenwood Caverns  Adventureland announces plans to remove 3 rides and add ‘10'

Guests: Mario Mamon, Chairman and President of the Enchanted Kingdom Theme Park in Manila, Philippines, and Tan Sri Richard Koh, President of the Malaysian Association of Amusement Theme Parks & Family Attractions (MAATFA) Episode 17 of the ITPS I'M4FUN podcast welcomes Mario Mamon, Chairman and President of the Enchanted Kingdom Theme Park in Manila, Philippines, and Tan Sri Richard Koh, President of the Malaysian Association of Amusement Theme Parks & Family Attractions (MAATFA). These two distinguished gentlemen join Dennis Speigel, Founder & CEO of ITPS, for an engaging discussion about the state of the industry in the Asia-Pacific region. This region is set to soon overtake North America as the largest region in the global amusement park market segment. Hear these longstanding industry veterans share their insights and outlooks on the Asia-Pacific amusement industry sector, including its potential for becoming a global powerhouse and opportunities for continued growth.
