It's rare to see a new theme park open in the United States, especially one not connected to Universal or Disney. A cool exception is Lost Island Themepark, which opened in June 2022 in Waterloo, Iowa. Owned by the Bertch family (who also own the Lost Island Waterpark), it uses original IP and feels different from your typical regional park.… Read more... The post 238.

可以搜索公号【璐璐的英文小酒馆】或者添加【luluxjg2】咨询课程or加入社群，查看文稿和其他精彩内容哦~Hi, everyone. And welcome back to Geek Time. 欢迎回来【极客时间】. Hi, Brad. Hey, Lulu, how's it going? Yeah. I'm doing alright. So what are we going to talk about today? We've talked about Utopian societies in the past, but have you ever heard of Atlantis? Atlantis, 亚特兰蒂斯. I think I've heard that name in like games, fantasy novels, TV shows, it's not a real place is it? It might be.Oh, it's one of those... it's one of those legendary places that some people believe it to be real.Exactly. Now we've talked about the Pyramids and how the Pyramids may be something related to aliens. And this is maybe a more realistic thing. (also aliens?) However it might not be we have to kind of get a little bit into the topic a little bit more. But first of all Atlantis has been... the whole legend about Atlantis has been around for ages, right? How far can we trace back to in history? We can trace it back to Plato, right? And Plato described Atlantis as an island nation that was basically once the rulers of the western world. 柏拉图时候就已经说到了 an island nation, I thought they were undersea civilization or they sink.Some people called them an Undersea Nation, but according to legend they were sunk into the sea. I see because I don't know why, but every time I think of Atlantis I seem to think about things like Little Mermaid. The Little Mermaid, the father of the Little Mermaid is Poseidon, and Poseidon was the one who ruled over Atlantis and when he got angry at them, he punished them and sank Atlantis into the sea. A lot of the lore about Atlantis it has to do with marine life, has to do with sea.But the people who lived on the island were just regular people who were blessed by the Gods. They lived there and they were rich but they fell out of favor with the gods and so they were punished. So first of all, let's get back to Plato. 当时柏拉图what did he actually say about Atlantis? He just said that's an island nation in what sort of context did he mention...Well, he was talking about more philosophical ideas but he gave a few different dialogues about the island of Atlantis. He called it the Lost Island of Atlantis. Some people say it was just a narrative fiction as a way to tell a story to get people to understand why they should live good lives. But other people say that he was talking about a real place and that in his dialogues he was talking about why people should be careful because if we followed the path of the Atlanteans, we might be lost under the sea as well. So as a philosopher, Plato might have just been talking about something metaphorically, it's like, let me give you a fable that sort of the thing我给你们讲个寓言故事, 亚特兰蒂斯怎么样, but people might have taken it literally. Some people have taken it literally. Over the years this whole idea about searching for the lost civilization of Atlantis. That's a whole thing. It's a legitimate thing just like looking for Bigfoot. There are people who are searching the world for the Lost City of Atlantis, the Lost Cities of Gold but the Lost City of Atlantis is probably one of the biggest ones that people are looking for. I think there might be a reason because I think marine archaeology has discovered some of these ancient civilizations that have sunk right into the ocean.That's fairly common. There's a lot of islands that have sunk over the years and like the civilizations that live there, all the houses are undersea, some have been preserved, others not so well. Where is Atlantis in the lore? Is it in Europe? It's difficult to say, but some people look at the Mediterranean Sea, others people talk about more like the Atlantic Ocean. However something very interesting be due to like some Continental shift some people say that Antarctica, that is actually Atlantis, Mediterranean, 地中海, 就欧洲这边的or Atlantic sea, 就是大西洋. I mean for me, it would be quite natural to assume Atlantic, Atlantis, you know is that why people draw that connection.

At long last, Ian and Matthew have seen a mysterious, legendary part of the Sid and Marty Krofft universe: THE LOST ISLAND. It's a mash-up of Lidsville, Land of the Lost, H.R. Pufnstuff, and more, and appeared as a segment of the Krofft Superstar Hour hosted by the Bay City Rollers!

Coaster Nerd Con, or CNC23, took place from July 6-14, 2023.  This is the annual trek where Matt and two friends take an epic journey to ride roller coasters, debate the best park food and experience the best the industry has to offer. This year, Josh got to join them at their first park, Six Flags Great America. From there, the trio went to Lost Island Theme Park, Adventureland, Worlds of Fun, Silver Dollar City, Frontier City, Six Flags Over Texas, SeaWorld San Antonio, and Six Flags Fiesta Texas. As usual, there were lessons learned along the way. In this episode, Matt and Josh talk about the “things that matter” to the park-going experience.    Enthusiasm matters   For those who know Jeffrey Siebert, Park President at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, you know that he has enthusiasm to spare. In fact, he calls himself an “enthusiast who gets to run a theme park,” and that enthusiasm shows from the look of the park (amazing), the interactions with the team (hospitable and friendly), and the fact that everything was open. His energy is infectious, and that has an incredibly positive impact on the entire operation.    We also ran into team members at other parks, such as Lost Island, who leveled up their own enthusiasm. The gentleman who greeted us for the dark ride and the chef who checked on us as we ate lunch both positively enhanced our experience because of their enthusiasm and positive demeanor.    Recognition matters   There are so many ways to recognize a team member and so many great accomplishments to recognize them for! As we learned from Tony and Gina Claassen, there is something that Silver Dollar City does that combines recognition with a way to immortalize loyal team members.   Disney has the windows on Main Street, and Silver Dollar City has customized, themed posters that are placed throughout the park that recognize team members that have been with the company for 25 years. The best part is that Gina and Tony got to help design their posters and had a choice of where to put them. Next time you're at SDC, see if you can find them!   Environment matters   The look, the feel, the emotion, the smells, the music… it all plays into the environment you are stepping into and will be the foundation of an immersive experience. Worlds of Fun has done considerable retheming and upgrades to the park, including paint and new facades. Lost Island was clean, incredibly well-themed, and paid attention to the little details that really made a difference.    Props must also be given to the Bamboozler (Round-Up) at Worlds of Fun.  The internal paint job (which one could argue wasn't needed for the ride to function) created a visually interesting and attractive experience not just for the riders but the guests on the midway as well.    History matters   Many rides and attractions have had lives before landing in their current home. Parks also move things all the time to accommodate expansion and new experiences. It truly enhances the experience when a park takes the time to acknowledge and document the journey that a ride has taken to get to its current home.    A notable piece of history for Matt is the Grand Carousel at Worlds of Fun, which used to be at Geauga Lake in Aurora, OH. Geauga Lake was Matt's home park growing up, and there is a very good chance he rode it when he visited with his family. Sharing the history can develop and strengthen the emotional connection of the experience.    Activities matter   As much as the CNC crew loves roller coasters, it was really fun to discover, observe and participate in a variety of activities that bring people together and let them have fun or challenge themselves in a non-traditional way (for a theme park).   Lost Island had a number of activities that allowed guests to challenge their minds as well as their body. Silver Dollar City staged a good ‘ol fashioned water balloon fight, and Fiesta Texas has a state-of-the-art gaming center.     For more on the CNC23 trip, look for #CNC23 on Facebook and Instagram.    To connect with AttractionPros, visit attractionpros.com or email attractionpros@gmail.com.

Eric Bertch is the General Manager of Lost Island Themepark in Waterloo, IA.  Having started his career as a lifeguard at Lost Island Waterpark in 1999, Eric worked his way up from checking pool chemicals to leading a team, and has served as the theme park's general manager since the project began.  Opened in 2022, Lost Island Themepark is one of the Midwest's only themed entertainment experiences, immersing guests into a story, versus building the tallest and fastest rides like the comparable amusement parks in the region.  In this interview, Eric talks about building a city, creating new IP, and employees being part of the attraction.   Building a city “When we started this project, at one point we had over 400 different workers at the same time trying to put this together.” Eric compared the construction of Lost Island Themepark to building a city, which is apparent of all major theme parks and many other similar attractions.  They require a massive amount of infrastructure, a significant number of construction workers, and are as organizationally complex as geographic regions and municipalities. Through these complexities, Eric shared several hurdles that the park had to overcome to reach completion.  He talks about supply chain issues, weather delays, cost overages, and the COVID-19 pandemic that slowed down the progress of the park.  Despite the hurdles, Lost Island Theme Park opened on June 18th, 2022; however, Eric shares that even though the park was able to open on time, it was not fully complete, meaning that construction continued even while the park was operating.   Creating new IP “Our background is in themed entertainment, and it's an area we felt was underserved in this part of the country.” Intellectual property is often used as a strong driver of attendance in theme parks due to familiarity and fandom of popular brands, stories, and characters.  However, rather than leveraging existing IP, Lost Island immerses guests into new stories and characters that were created in-house.  This allows for more latitude in storytelling as the brand parameters for the IP are internal to Lost Island. Eric shares that the theming that has gone into the park extends far beyond rides, and is positioned to enhance the atmosphere of the experience.  This includes several Easter eggs that can be discovered throughout the park, which creates more “wow” moments for guests as they encounter unplanned experiences.  These discoveries help to increase dwell time and overall spending, along with the memories that guests carry with them when they leave. By focusing on the park's cohesive theme of elements including fire, water, air, earth, and spirit, Eric also shares that it creates an experience that is more cost-effective than building the tallest and fastest rides, all while enhancing guest satisfaction.   Employees being part of the attraction “If you ever want someone to learn something, it better be fun.” Eric shares a glimpse of Lost Island's recruitment and training process.  Rather than individual interviews with the same 15 questions asked to each individual, Lost Island conducts group interviews that are able to assess a team member's intention rather than history from their past experience - many of whom have none as they are applying for their first jobs. In training, Eric stresses to employees that they are part of the attraction, not a wallflower who is just facilitating the experience.  This has led to Lost Island's hospitality standard being exceptionally high, and team members are regularly mentioned in online reviews.  When a team member sees themselves mentioned in a positive review online, it further motivates them to continue their enthusiasm for the experience and builds momentum within the guest service standard.   To learn more about Lost Island, visit www.thelostisland.com to learn about both the theme park and the water park, and you can also download the Lost Island Adventure Guide app on Google Play or the Apple Store.  To follow Eric on Twitter, check out @LostIslandChief (Disclaimer: sometimes Eric says crazy things and hopes he doesn't offend too many people!).   To connect with AttractionPros: attractionpros@gmail.com   This podcast wouldn't be possible without the incredible work of our amazing team: Scheduling and correspondence by Kristen Karaliunas

This week, we talk about the new construction updates for Cedar Point's new for 2024 attraction. After that we talk about the new breakfast menu at Grand Pavilion. Then we move on to the most recent updates regarding Fury 325 at Carowinds. Finally we welcome Eric Bertch, General Manager of Lost Island Theme park on to the show. 

Eric Bertch stops in discussing Lost Island, where the idea came from, how he runs the park, and why his twitter is so out of pocket! That, a bunch more fan questions covering EVERYTHING you can imagine, and so much more in this special episode!

We can count on one hand the number of new, full-scale theme parks that have opened in the United States in the past 15 years. One of those parks happens to be Lost Island, located in Waterloo, Iowa. By all accounts, this park is a hidden gem, and features a pair of unique roller coasters, a world class Sally Dark Ride, and on top of that, a fantastic and friendly staff along with its own IP across five immersive themed lands. Lost Island's General Manager Eric Bertch joins Andrew on the podcast to talk all things Lost Island, from concept, to creation, to operations and attraction highlights. By all accounts, this isn't your traditional regional theme park, and as the park enters its second year of operation, more people need to visit it and experience it for themselves!Visit Lost Island's Website at www.thelostisland.com and follow Eric on Twitter at @lostislandchiefYou can connect with the show by hitting us up on social media @Coaster101: Facebook  |  Twitter  |  Instagram.

You know what you DON'T want to feel anymore > trapped in a career you hate, having no free time to even read a book, being limited on options because of finances, waking up every day feeling blah, doing the same uninspiring routine… The frustration comes because you don't know WHERE TO EVEN START?! What steps to take to create a better life for yourself? This only leaves you feeling more overwhelmed and hopeless.  I remember everyone looked like they had their stuff together and life purpose figured out, meanwhile, I was stuck on Lost Island…willing to do the work, but having no clear guidance on where to even start! Here's what I wish someone that Tiffany back then >> Instead of worrying about finding your purpose, your calling….I want you to focus on SERVING a purpose, and then your purpose will serve you.  The purpose of your life is to serve in a way that brings great joy to yourself and others…What are things you do for your family, friends, and co-workers, at your church that bring you great delight?

In Season 4, episode 5 of Reality Escape Pod, we headed to Canada to chat with Jonathan Driscoll and Sacha St.Denis, owners of Escaparium escape games, Nuit de Terreur haunted attraction, L'Atelier resto-pub game cafe, and Ezkapaz immersive experiences. As you can tell from their list of businesses, Jonathan and Sacha have big ambitions. Not only do they have over 30 escape rooms under the Escaparium brand, they have recently expanded into a haunted attraction with escape room elements, a game cafe integrated into their Laval location, and an immersive experience at a local speakeasy bar. It's not just the number of experiences that are epically sized. Their flagship games Rain Corp., Wardrobe for Sale, and The Lost Island of the Voodoo Queen are jaw-droppingly enormous, filled with endearing characters, immersive puzzles, and touching storylines that actually made me cry. When setting out to build a haunt, Jonathan and Sasha didn't want a generic maze. Instead, they created a haunted attraction that's part maze, with mini-escape room elements and private immersive interactions. It's no easy feat juggling so many different projects. Jonathan and Sacha are supportive leaders and are extremely appreciative of their large creative team. The owners of Escaparium have managed to stay humble and are receptive to constructive feedback, while maintaining their ambitious aspirations. Escaparium is an immersive gaming brand of epic proportions. It's hard to put into words how massive their games are, and that's why I highly encourage you to visit their locations in Montreal.   Show Notes   Episode Sponsors Thank you to our sponsors:  Morty - A free app for discovering, planning, tracking, and reviewing your escape rooms and other immersive social outings.
