In this episode, Nick is tracking solo through some theme park updates and what his week looked like with regards to theme park experiences! He discusses some of his time during the recent media event for the LEGO Ferrari Build and Race experience at LEGOLAND Florida as well as his experience at Busch Gardens Tampa for their preview event of their Food and Wine Festival. Nick also shares some updates on how crowds have been at the Walt Disney World parks for Spring Break. A "walk on" for Toy Story Mania and Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway during Spring Break? Who would have thought? Nick also discusses details that have been released surrounding Pixar Fest at Disneyland as well as the brand new "Butterbeer Season" at the Universal Parks in the United States.

Deborah Eicher is the International Sales and Marketing Director for RES Rides, a Swiss-based rides manufacturer known for creating unique experiences. Deborah began her career in the fashion industry after getting a business degree from the University of Iowa and later moved into banking and finance. When Deborah moved to Orlando to be closer to family, she was hired as Operations Manager for Flight Avionics (now Pulseworks), where she operated flight simulators on aircraft carriers and museums. During that time, Deborah was quickly promoted to Vice President and then President and COO, and grew the operation from one location to twenty. Ten years later, she was offered the opportunity to join the photo retail provider Picsolve (now owned by Pomvom) as President and COO, where she achieved stellar results, specifically for photo sales at Merlin's midway locations. In 2014, Deborah moved to the UK and focused on RFP development for manufacturers and suppliers, where she connected with RES Rides which led to her role today. In this interview, Deborah discussed building unique rides, mentoring young talent, and future-proofing. Building unique rides "Globally, everybody is looking for a new experience." RES Rides was formed in 2015 by Willy Walser and Roman Rothe. The founders had extensive experience installing rides around the world and determined that an opportunity existed to introduce new ride types to the marketplace. This led to the development of rides like Rollerball which takes up a small footprint with a vertical lift hill, and Canyon Slide Rapids with the highest drop on a raft ride in the Western Hemisphere. Most recently, RES Rides won a Brass Ring Award in 2023 for Crazy Professor, a vertical dark ride, at Conny-Land in Switzerland. The attraction features a multimedia experience that includes immersive theming and a pre-show that explains the backstory. Upon boarding the tower in a 10-seat gondola, the story unfolds through sensory elements including back jabbers, fog, and tilting seats, and by the time they get to the top of the tower, the experiment goes wrong and riders drop into a 20-meter freefall. Mentoring young talent "If you ask someone to be a mentor, it's very complimentary for that person." Deborah stresses the importance of finding mentors to help guide you throughout your career. For more than 10 years, Deborah sat on the board of the IAAPA Foundation, where they launched a scholarship program to help young professionals gain an education that will grow their careers in the industry. Additionally, this interview is personal to Josh, because in 2011, Deborah hired Josh as Site Manager for Picsolve's operation at LEGOLAND Florida. Deborah shares stories that she recalls from Josh's time as a young leader, and Josh shares lessons he recalls from his time working with her. Future-proofing "Hire people that are better than yourself." When Deborah worked in fashion retail, she was required to set up an operation and then expected to leave it in a short period of time to move on to the next. This required her to replicate herself in order to future-proof the operation. This way, when she left, whether it was within the company or moving on to something else, she left it better than when she started. Future-proofing involves delegation, understanding the metrics, and creating systems that will allow the operation to thrive. It requires setting best practices and continually fine-tuning them for success, and relying on the process, rather than an individual in particular, so that leaders can duplicate the success. To learn more about RES Rides, visit their website or their YouTube channel. More incredible and unique concepts are coming in the pipeline, so be sure to stay tuned!

Henry (9) and Nora (5) from Ohio, state of America, come on the show to review the new Pirate River Quest ride at Legoland Florida and their first time visiting Peppa Pig Theme Park.
Adrian Jones is the CEO of Zip World UK, a company that specializes in creating unique and thrilling adventures. From the world's fastest zipline to underground mini-golf, Ade is an expert in taking experiences to the next level. Ade began his career working the frontlines at Alton Towers. This began a career with Merlin Entertainments spanning nearly three decades, where he served as General Manager of Madam Tussauds in Las Vegas and Los Angelos, opened LEGOLAND Florida as General Manager in 2011, before being promoted to President & Divisional Director of Midway Attractions in North America, and then Global New Concepts Development Director.. Recently, he became the CEO of Zip World, where he continues to innovate and create new, exciting experiences for guests. In this interview, Ade shares his insights on adventure tourism, the importance of giving people the freedom to succeed, and building strong relationships with local communities. Adventure Tourism "The adventure market is growing massively." Adventure tourism gives guests the opportunity to experience some of the most unique things our world has to offer. When Ade started with Zip World, he was impressed with how positive the reviews were and how engaged guests were with the facilities. By providing a wide range of attractions for the entire family and creating a great guest experience, Zip World captures the attention of their guests. Ultimately, the attractions industry is about selling fun, something Ade fell in love with when he got his start. One of the best ways to sell fun is to create a facility that can't be replicated virtually. For instance, the caverns at Zip World contain 200 years of formations, and the personal interactions with employees can't be replicated in the digital space. Freedom to Succeed "If someone is frightened to fail, they won't take any risks." Another key to the success of Zip World is the employee culture. Ade knows that the ‘People Agenda' is a huge priority when it comes to building a successful culture. To take employees to the next level, Ade emphasizes the importance of creating the freedom to succeed. By implementing this culture, employees get the chance to build who they are and help create a dynamic business. Mistakes build who we are, and by creating a freedom to succeed, we also create the freedom to fail. Failure is important, and everyone can learn from their mistakes. Ade knows that by failing, we can become stronger in the places we were broken before, which is something that could benefit any operation. Community Relations “We were very sympathetic; we listened.” One of Ade's greatest challenges was leading the development of LEGOLAND Florida while simultaneously creating a great relationship with the Winter Haven community. By holding town halls and being open to feedback from the locals, Winter Haven is now proud to have LEGOLAND Florida as a staple in their community. Ade's most valuable lessons were about the importance of following through on your promises and the impact of small gestures. When working with homeowners and existing communities, it's crucial to be mindful and considerate. By being transparent and keeping promises, trust can be built and disasters can be avoided. These actions contribute to fostering a positive and cooperative spirit within the community. To connect with Ade, you can find him on LinkedIn.

Tyler Pellerin is the Guest Excellence Manager at LEGOLAND Florida Resort. Tyler shares with us how LEGOLAND creates a unique experience for guests specifically between the ages of 2-12, including the amount of “firsts” that happen every day at the park, and their goal of providing the “best day ever.” With no shortage of enthusiasm for the guest experience, Tyler shares several stories that show how service recovery can lead to repeat visitation and loyalty, why a rainy day shouldn't wash out the park experience, and the amount of small things that happen in between the rides, shows, and attractions, all delivered by the park's staff, who are known as Model Citizens. Tyler stresses the importance of data collection and guest feedback to understand how to continually improve the experience, and creative solutions that he has implemented to increase the volume of feedback from guests. And when it comes to training, Model Citizens don't go through guest service training, they go through guest obsession training.
