Podcasts about dark rides

Denkt man an Attraktionsbauer aus der Nähe von Freiburg, kommen einem vielleicht zunächst Mack Rides als internationaler Player oder die aufstrebende ART Engineering in den Sinn. Ein wenig unbemerkt befindet sich aber eine ursprünglich als Werbeagentur gegründete Firma im... Aufwind. Die Aufwind Rides hat sich vor einiger Zeit auf Simulatoren, Media- und Dark-Rides für mittelgroße Parks spezialisiert und dabei in den letzten Jahren für einigen Wirbel auf dem Markt gesorgt. Dabei sind die Badenser nicht nur Ingenieure und Designer, sondern entwickeln einen Großteil der Anlagen auch noch selbst. In diesem Podcast sprechen wir ausführlich mit Geschäftsführer Lutz Bayer und Entwicklungsleiter Simon Hübner darüber, wie sich eine Werbeagentur in einen Rides-Manufacturer verwandelt und damit in einem heiß umkämpften Markt auch noch so ungeheuer erfolgreich fährt.

My guest on this episode is Derek McCormack. Derek is the author of more than a dozen books, including Dark Rides, The Haunted Hillbilly, and The Well-Dressed Wound. He has written frequently about fashion and art for places like Artforum and The Believer, and was a regular fashion writer for the National Post. His most recent book is Judy Blame's Obituary: Writings on Fashion and Death, a collection of his fashion writing published in 2022 by Pilot Press. The Heavy Feather Review called Judy Blame's Obituary “a furious haberdashery of [McCormack's] own shining and ghostly obsessions. When writing about fashion, McCormack is writing about his life.” Derek and I talk about his complicated literary reputation, about writers needing to fight against their natural desire for attention and acceptance, and, not uncoincidentally, about publishing a novel with a title I am too boring and polite to say out loud on a podcast. This podcast is produced and hosted by Nathan Whitlock, in partnership with The Walrus. Music: "simple-hearted thing" by Alex Lukashevsky. Used with permission.

Theme park rides stand as one of the few forms of popular entertainment that can vanish with no way to experience them once again. So, how can such a cherished art form be preserved? Kevin Perjurer, the creative mind behind Defunctland, has made it his business to document the fleeting nature of theme parks, both the good and the bad. In this episode, Adam and Kevin discuss how theme parks shape the cultures that give rise to them, the extent to which our own history is molded and packaged for our entertainment, and the pivotal role YouTube historians play in dismantling the everyday myths we tell ourselves.SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/adamconoverSEE ADAM ON TOUR: https://www.adamconover.net/tourdates/SUBSCRIBE to and RATE Factually! on:» Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/factually-with-adam-conover/id1463460577» Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0fK8WJw4ffMc2NWydBlDyJAboutHeadgum: Headgum is an LA & NY-based podcast network creatingpremium podcasts with the funniest, most engaging voices in comedy toachieve one goal: Making our audience and ourselves laugh.

In the 88th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave answer the age old question... "What is a Dark Ride?"  But first, a chat about Star Wars and a review of The Book of Boba Fett, with some popcorn bucket news, some Points of Light Rainbow news, tossing some shade in Toy Story Land, and Kevin is back!  Plus Universal's Mardi Gras concert lineup, including a little "One Week" courtesy of Jenn. Then, a list of Dark Rides, both traditional and thrilling, but first, what is a dark ride? What qualifies, or disqualifies, and even debate on a few certain rides themselves. Great conversation and great lists by both!

On this week's show, Disneyland pros, David and Ronn take dive into several sizzling Disney topics. Exploring the State of Mickey's ToonTown Today - and Tomorrow! ToonTown is here to stay - but surely Disney plans to give the land not only the the tender loving care it desperately needs - but even more drastic attention, right!? Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway's much anticipated 2023 arrival is intended to - and sure to - inject energy, crowds and expectations into ToonTown - Disney obviously knows this and will have ToonTown ready to meet the moment. Right?!?!Could Disneyland be built today? What will go into the now vacant Fantasyland Christmas shop? Do David or Ronn collect Disney memorabilia? Is there a "best" time to visit the Disneyland Resort?Plus, we remember, celebrate and honor Fantasia, the Goofy holler, The World According to Goofy Parade, Disney Afternoon Avenue, magical GummiBerry Juice, Disney+, and the Conestoga Fries stand in this week in Disney history. All this and the big reveal of our Favorite 5 Dark Rides - and more!
