Podcasts about attractions

Tonight we're taking a nostalgic road trip across America to revisit the greatest attractions that have quietly disappeared from the map. From Action Park and the Rock-afire Explosion to Holy Land USA, Freedomland, roadside giants, and the bizarre landmarks that once made family vacations unforgettable, we'll explore the stories behind the places that shaped generations, and take calls so that the audience can contribute their own tales from American road trips of yesteryear.

In Part 2 of the Main Street Magic EPCOT World Showcase Cup, the tournament moves into the quarterfinals as our top seeds finally enter the competition and the battle for the Final Four begins. Using the same category-by-category judging system from last episode, every matchup is decided by comparing Food, Drinks, Attractions, Immersion, Shopping, Hangout Factor, Hidden Details, Festival Presence, and Overall Experience. One pavilion advances, one pavilion goes home—there are no ties and no second chances. Will top-seeded France, Mexico, and Japan prove why they earned their rankings, or will one of the opening-round winners pull off a tournament-shaking upset? From iconic restaurants and legendary snacks to immersive architecture, hidden gems, unforgettable attractions, and festival favorites, every debate brings us one step closer to crowning the ultimate World Showcase champion. Along the way, we'll share our reasoning behind every decision, revisit some of EPCOT's most beloved experiences, and probably disagree a time or two as we narrow the field from eight pavilions down to just four. Who survives? Who gets eliminated? And which pavilions will earn a coveted spot in the Final Four? Grab your bracket at WonderlandCrew.com, follow along with your own picks, and see if your championship predictions stay alive as the Main Street Magic EPCOT World Showcase Cup: The Road to the Final Four continues!

Looking for daily inspiration?  Get a quote from the top leaders in the industry in your inbox every morning.   Traveling with young children can completely change the way an attraction is experienced, revealing moments of exceptional hospitality alongside opportunities where service can be improved. In this episode, Josh shares stories from his family's first visit to Disneyland through the lens of both a guest experience consultant and a parent, and unpacks the practical lessons that any attraction can apply. In this episode, Matt and Josh talk about creating memorable guest experiences through intentional hospitality, recognizing opportunities for service recovery, and understanding the unique needs of families visiting attractions. Intentional hospitality creates memorable moments “The intentionality behind it is what made that happen. But it seemed like it was serendipitous. I think that is the definition of magic.” Josh shares the unforgettable experience of his son's visit to Cars Land and an unexpected gift following a Lightning McQueen character meet-and-greet. What appeared to be a spontaneous magical moment was actually the result of thoughtful planning behind the scenes. Every organization can build systems that empower team members to recognize guest opportunities and create meaningful moments that feel effortless to the guest. Hospitality means owning the solution “The only acceptable answer is to get you the steamed milk.” A simple breakfast request became an example of how service recovery depends on ownership. When a restaurant's equipment failure prevented a request from being fulfilled, the initial solution shifted the responsibility to the guest before the team ultimately resolved the issue. In this example, hospitality professionals should look beyond explaining a problem and instead focus on finding a path to the desired outcome, especially when serving families who may already be managing additional challenges. Seeing the invisible system “In the first story, an experience happened because we could not see the system running in the background. The second story happened because it was exposed.” Comparing both experiences reveals an important distinction between great guest experiences and visible operational friction. Behind every magical moment is a carefully designed system working out of sight. When those systems remain hidden, hospitality feels seamless. When guests see the operational obstacles instead of the solution, the experience becomes less memorable for the right reasons. Designing invisible support systems is just as important as training frontline team members. A new appreciation for families “I have a newfound level of respect and appreciation, having now been through that myself with my family.” Reflecting on the trip, Josh shares how experiencing a theme park as a parent provided an entirely different perspective. From navigating airports to managing young children throughout the day, the experience reinforced the effort many families invest simply to arrive at an attraction. That realization also deepened his appreciation for families facing even greater challenges, reminding attraction professionals that every guest arrives with a unique story and deserves empathy throughout their visit.   These stories demonstrate that the most memorable guest experiences often come from the people and systems working behind the scenes to make hospitality feel effortless.   To connect with AttractionPros: AttractionPros.com AttractionPros@gmail.com AttractionPros on Facebook AttractionPros on LinkedIn AttractionPros on Instagram AttractionPros on Twitter (X)

Welcome to the Main Street Magic EPCOT World Showcase Cup! In this special tournament series, we're putting all 11 World Showcase pavilions head-to-head in a single-elimination bracket to determine, once and for all, which pavilion deserves to be crowned the ultimate EPCOT champion. Before the competition begins, we explain exactly how the tournament was created. Using AI analysis, rankings and opinions from some of the most trusted Disney fan sites, and our own experiences after countless visits to EPCOT, we seeded each pavilion into the bracket based on six major categories: Food, Drinks, Attractions, Immersion, Shopping, and Hangout Factor. But once the tournament starts, the seeds no longer matter—every matchup is decided one category at a time, with the winner advancing and the loser going home. After introducing the rules and revealing the full bracket, it's time for the opening play-in round. Three exciting matchups kick off the tournament as lower-seeded pavilions battle for the chance to face the top contenders waiting later in the bracket. Every debate is filled with tough decisions, surprising opinions, and plenty of Disney discussion as we compare everything from signature restaurants and iconic snacks to rides, entertainment, architecture, hidden details, and festival offerings. Who earns the first victories? Which pavilion pulls off an upset? And which favorites are waiting for their chance to enter the tournament? Welcome to the Main Street Magic EPCOT World Showcase Cup!

In this Summer Special of Skip the Queue, guest host and attractions industry journalist Owen Ralph is joined by three theme park operators for a closer look at their new offerings for 2026. Lawrence Mancey discusses Paultons Park's £12 million themed area Valgard, the largest ever investment at the UK park, also home to Peppa Pig World. He explains how the viking theme was a ‘no-brainer', why the family-run park likes creating its own IP, and also tells us about Paultons' embryonic holiday park plans. Blackpool Pleasure Beach's James Cox highlights the famous park's new £8.7 million Aviktas thrill ride and its long-running Hot Ice show. He also explains how the team is trying to revitalise neglected areas of the seaside site and why its operating season is longer than most other British parks. Finally, Hogne Høstmælingen from Hunderfossen in Norway – celebrating its 40th anniversary this season – tell us about the Lillehammer park's troll roots and much more. We hear how an IP first introduced in 2014 has spawned three attractions including a rollercoaster, Thea Award-winning simulator experience and the new dark ride Rally Flåklypa. Topics Discussed Developing a new themed area Working with intellectual properties Increasing Paultons' appeal to older kids The flexibility of lodge accommodation Vs a hotel Choosing a new thrill and where to site it Revitalising a forgotten corner of Blackpool Pleasure Beach How an eye-catching ride can be an ‘attraction' even to those that don't ride it Live entertainment and its role in broadening a park's offering Squeezing a dark ride into a remarkably small building How Hunderfossen invested in a movie to extend an IP's life A unique troll-themed dining experience An enchanting winter park offer   Show references:    Guest host: Owen Ralph International Editor, Kirmes & Park International Regular contributor, Blooloop/World's Fair www.kirmesparkrevue.de www.wordsandattractions.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/owen-ralph/   Lawrence Mancey Marketing and Technology Director, Paultons Park, UK www.paultonspark.co.uk/themed-worlds/valgard-realm-of-the-vikings https://796f0761.flowpaper.com/GemiKirmes0726E150/#page=24   James Cox Director of Marketing, Sales and PR, Blackpool Pleasure Beach Resort, UK www.blackpoolpleasurebeach.com/aviktas www.blackpoolpleasurebeach.com/shows/hot-ice   Hogne Høstmælingen General Manager, Hunderfossen, Norway  www.hunderfossen.no/en/ www.boldmove-nation.com/rally-fl%C3%A5klypa   Skip the Queue is brought to you by Merac.

Our job is to entertain people. How they want to be entertained, though, might be changing.

Send us Fan MailAre some Disney attractions truly timeless...or do we love them because they've become part of Disney history?This week, Scott and Karen tackle one of the more interesting debates in Disney fandom. They take a fresh look at some of Walt Disney World's most beloved classic attractions and ask a simple question:If this attraction opened for the very first time tomorrow, would it still become a fan favorite?From Carousel of Progress and Country Bear Musical Jamboree to Living with the Land, the PeopleMover, Spaceship Earth, the Tiki Room, and more, they put Disney classics to the test. Which attractions stand on their own merits? Which ones benefit from decades of nostalgia? And are there a few surprises along the way?Along the way, Scott and Karen discuss what makes an attraction truly great, how nostalgia shapes the Disney experience, and whether history alone is enough to keep an attraction relevant for future generations of guests.In This Episode:What makes a Disney attraction "timeless"Attractions that would still be hits if they opened todayAttractions that may rely heavily on nostalgiaThe challenge of separating history from qualityWhy some classic experiences continue to resonate with modern audiencesThe role nostalgia plays in Disney fandomQuestion of the Week:Which Disney attraction would still be a huge hit if it opened tomorrow, and which attraction do you think survives mostly because of nostalgia?Connect with us and join the conversation on social media.Thanks for listening to The Mickeyphile Podcast!
