Spil kan være mange ting, men i nat taler vi især om gambling, enarmede tyveknægte og en tur i både Tivoli og Las Vegas. Vi snakker også om, når spil tager overhånd, for nogle udvikler jo desværre en decideret spilafhængighed. I nat taler Bubber med lytterne om spil i alle afskygninger, du kan ikke spille med, men tale med og høre med. Så - lyt med!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Geo har næsten udsolgt i Bremen, men det ser ikke ud til, at Niarn kommer til at sidde i logen. Niarn har en dis-claimer vedrørende kokainsalg i USA, men Geo aner alligevel ikke hvad en ounce er.

Story Transcript:Da: Tivoli Gardens i København var smukt denne aften.En: Tivoli Gardens in København was beautiful this evening.Da: Lanternerne svømmede i den kølige luft, mens gyldne blade dansede omkring fødderne af de gæster, der gik gennem den gamle forlystelsespark.En: The lanterns floated in the cool air, while golden leaves danced around the feet of the guests walking through the old amusement park.Da: Luften var fyldt med duften af brændte mandler og græskartærter.En: The air was filled with the scent of roasted almonds and pumpkin pie.Da: Mikkel stod ved indgangen.En: Mikkel stood at the entrance.Da: Han trak vejret dybt og så ud over festivalen, hvor mennesker gik hånd i hånd, grinede og nød det sidste af efterårets skønhed.En: He took a deep breath and looked over the festival, where people walked hand in hand, laughed, and enjoyed the last of autumn's beauty.Da: Han ville det samme.En: He wanted the same.Da: Han ønskede, at nogen greb efter hans hånd, og at han ikke følte sig så alene.En: He wished someone would reach for his hand, and that he wouldn't feel so alone.Da: Men han var bange for, at ingen ville.En: But he feared that no one would.Da: Fra hans højre side kom Jonas.En: From his right side came Jonas.Da: "Du drømmer igen, Mikkel?En: "You're dreaming again, Mikkel?Da: Pas nu på.En: Be careful now.Da: Man kan hurtigt blive skuffet," sagde Jonas og dunkede ham venligt på skulderen.En: It's easy to get disappointed," said Jonas, giving him a friendly nudge on the shoulder.Da: Jonas var Mikkels barndomsven og havde altid de samme råd – at passe på ikke at skynde sig ind i en romance.En: Jonas was Mikkel's childhood friend and always had the same advice – to be careful not to rush into romance.Da: Mikkel smilede skævt.En: Mikkel gave a crooked smile.Da: "Jeg ved, men det gør ikke noget, at drømme lidt."En: "I know, but it doesn't hurt to dream a little."Da: Inde midt i folkemængden fangede Astrid's lette latter hans opmærksomhed.En: In the middle of the crowd, Astrid's light laughter caught his attention.Da: Hun var ny i byen og manglede også nogen at dele sit liv med.En: She was new in town and also wanted someone to share her life with.Da: Hendes smil kunne lyse hele Tivoli op, og Mikkel følte et lille håb varme hans hjerte.En: Her smile could light up the whole Tivoli, and Mikkel felt a small hope warm his heart.Da: De to så på hinanden et kort sekund, hvorefter Mikkel tog mod til sig.En: The two looked at each other for a brief second, and then Mikkel gathered his courage.Da: Han gik over til Astrid.En: He walked over to Astrid.Da: "Hej, jeg er Mikkel," sagde han lidt nervøst og stak hænderne i lommerne.En: "Hi, I'm Mikkel," he said a bit nervously, sticking his hands in his pockets.Da: Astrid svarede med et varmt smil.En: Astrid replied with a warm smile.Da: "Hej Mikkel, jeg er Astrid.En: "Hi Mikkel, I'm Astrid.Da: Det er så smukt her, ikke?"En: It's so beautiful here, isn't it?"Da: "Ja, virkelig," sagde Mikkel.En: "Yes, really," said Mikkel.Da: "Vil du måske gå en tur og se på Halloween-forlystelserne med mig?"En: "Would you maybe like to take a walk and look at the Halloween attractions with me?"Da: Astrid tøvede et øjeblik, men så nikkede hun.En: Astrid hesitated for a moment, but then she nodded.Da: "Det vil jeg meget gerne."En: "I'd love to."Da: De gik sammen gennem parken, mens Jonas fulgte dem på afstand med et skeptisk blik.En: They walked together through the park, while Jonas followed them from a distance with a skeptical look.Da: Mikkel følte sig levende, som om Tivolis lys også oplyste hans indre.En: Mikkel felt alive, as if Tivoli's lights were also illuminating him inside.Da: Men deres lille eventyr ledte dem til spøgelshuset, hvor maven på både Mikkel og Astrid krøllede sig sammen af spænding.En: But their little adventure led them to the haunted house, where the stomachs of both Mikkel and Astrid curled up with excitement.Da: Inde i det mørke rum klamrede Astrid sig til Mikkel under et uventet chok fra et plastikspøgelse.En: Inside the dark room, Astrid clung to Mikkel during an unexpected shock from a plastic ghost.Da: Mikkels hjerte bankede hurtigere.En: Mikkel's heart beat faster.Da: "Undskyld," grinede hun, og Mikkel kunne ikke lade være med at smile tilbage.En: "Sorry," she laughed, and Mikkel couldn't help but smile back.Da: Da de kom ud, var det som om, de havde krydset en usynlig grænse.En: When they came out, it was as if they had crossed an invisible boundary.Da: De udvekslede telefonnumre under de faldende blade, der svævede som en dans af forandring.En: They exchanged phone numbers under the falling leaves, which floated like a dance of change.Da: Mikkel følte, at han endelig havde fundet en del af den forbindelse, han havde længtes efter.En: Mikkel felt he had finally found a part of the connection he had been longing for.Da: "Vi ses igen, ikke?"En: "We'll see each other again, right?"Da: spurgte han, en anelse usikker, men også mere tryg end før.En: he asked, a bit uncertain, but also more secure than before.Da: "Det kan du tro, Mikkel," smilede Astrid.En: "You bet, Mikkel," Astrid smiled.Da: "Jeg glæder mig allerede."En: "I'm already looking forward to it."Da: Og da de sagde farvel under lyset fra Tivoli, vidste Mikkel, at denne efterårsaften var begyndelsen på noget helt særligt.En: And as they said goodbye under the lights of Tivoli, Mikkel knew that this autumn evening was the beginning of something very special.

“ For many of our guests, they normally say, ‘It's not just a stay, it's a memory in the making.' It's a place where time slows down and where the ordinary, what do you say, becomes something truly extraordinary.”We're in great company with Maria Oldenbjerg, the fairy godmother, formally known as the Hotel Director, of the Nimb Hotel in the heart of Copenhagen—where with the enchanting Tivoli Gardens as its lush backdrop, Nimb presents an unparalleled combination of subtle Scandinavian urban luxury, Danish design, meticulous service, and top-tier gastronomy, all infused with a touch of Tivoli enchantment. Born in 1909 within a Moorish-inspired "Bazaar," this architectural gem began as the vision of culinary entrepreneurs Vilhelm and Louise Nimb, who transformed their restaurant into the heartbeat of Copenhagen's dining scene. Today, as the only hotel nestled within Europe's oldest amusement park and recognized among Small Luxury Hotels' elite "Finest Collection" and “Considerate Collection,” Nimb continues to redefine what it means to create authentic and sustainable luxury experiences that blur the lines between heritage and innovation.As seasons change, and ours begins with this episode, Maria invites the young, and the young at heart, to discover how she transforms ordinary moments into something truly magical—where “hygge” isn't just a travel trend, but a way of welcoming the world home.  Top Takeaways[2:00] The Phone Call That Changed Everything: After her first hotel shift, Maria called her mother excitedly: "I found my dream job. I want to become a general manager one day." That clarity eventually led her home to Nimb, the luxury hotel she'd always admired.[6:00] Where Dreams Take Root: In 1909, visionaries Vilhelm and Louise Nimb built their Moorish palace within Tivoli Gardens - Europe's oldest amusement park - bringing the entire world to Copenhagen so Danes could taste and travel without leaving home.[15:30] The Garden That Never Sleeps: Guests wake to the quiet serenity of the pristine grounds as they anticipate the day's crowds. And after a day of excitement, guests retreat to find the soothing musical performances and twinkling lights linger like memories into the night.[16:00] Seasons of Wonder: The hotel breathes with Tivoli's rhythms - Easter treasure hunts, Halloween face painting, Christmas stockings crafted by Danish artisans, each moment woven into memory-making magic.[18:30] Rooms That Hold Stories: Each of Nimb's 38 spacious rooms and suites whispers secrets through understated luxury and timeless elegance, from handpicked antiques set against modern Danish design to complimentary “hygge bars" filled with local Danish delicacies.  [24:00] Culinary Theater: Dining at Nimb goes beyond the dish and becomes a storytelling medium, from Nimb Brasserie's French favorites to the Japanese Pagoda's rotating Michelin-starred chef residencies.[27:00] The Science of Renewal: A hidden wellness sanctuary redefines urban wellness - blending cutting edge technology with globally inspired ancient techniques - replenishing weary travelers with a sense of vitality.[38:40] Living Poetry: Peacocks wander as symbols of grace, their presence so beloved that feathers now adorn linens and inspire children's toys.Notable MentionsDanish DesignGeismars beddingToni fixturesBang & Olufsen audioArtist Cathrine Raben DavidsenFlowers by NimbFrederiksberg, CopenhagenAmager StrandparkDanish SmørrebrødVisit For YourselfNimb Hotel Website | @nimbcopenhagen

I'm your host, Paul Marden, and together with my co-host, Andy Povey, and roving reporter Claire Furnival, we're here at day 3 of IAAPA Expo Europe. On today's show, Andy talks to Andreas Andersen, CEO and President of iseberg Group, about resilience. I meet Peter van der Schans from IAAPA EMEA, and we catch up with Laura Read from Marwell Zoo. First, let's go over to Andy.Andy Povey: So I'm joined now by Andreas Andersen, who's the chief exec of Liseberg, Scandinavia's most visited amusement park. Andreas, welcome to Barcelona. It's very good to see you here. Can you tell the listeners at home a little bit about Liseberg and what you do there?Andreas Andersen:  Sure. So I'm heading up one of the classic regional city-based parks in Northern Europe. So you have Liseberg, you have Tivoli in Copenhagen, you have Kornalund in Stockholm, and Linnanmaki in Helsinki. And we're part of this tradition of parks that have a very strong community base and a long history. Liseberg is 102 years old and three years old. And also parks that represent cultural heritage as well as reflect the cities we're located in. Lovely, lovely regional park in downtown Gothenburg. And if you haven't been, you should come visit.Andy Povey: Absolutely. I must admit, I haven't made it there myself yet. It's on the bucket list. So our theme for today's recording is about recovery and resilience. And recently, in your blog address, you wrote that you feel like for the past four years, you've been in constant crisis mode. Can you tell us a little bit more about that?Andreas Andersen: Well, I think a lot of executives or just people working in this industry can recognise that the last four or five years have been very turbulent, very, very, very volatile.Andreas Andersen: It all started with the pandemic in March 2020, we were at Lisa closed down for 17 months, so we didn't have any any business at all for for 17 months. Then we reopened in the middle of '21, very very hard— you know, with a lot of restrictions and an organisation that had not been you know operating anything for a long time and we also had to let go a lot of people. Then in '22, I think everybody experienced this giant rush, you know, that everybody wanted to get back into the park. So we couldn't really keep up with demand. And that was stressful in a different way. In '23, the market in the Nordics really suffered for some reason. It was a wit, summer and inflation, and interest rates.Andreas Andersen: And everything that went with, you could say, sort of the beginning of an economic downturn. And then, in 2024, our biggest investment, our biggest project expansion in the last 100 years, a large new indoor water park burned down. So it feels like these four or five years has really been this chain of crisis that we've had to get over and manage, basically.Andy Povey: Yeah, I mean, what we're hearing from people on the show floor is that the economic and political unrest that we have all over the Western world is creating some turbulence in the market. So talk to us a little bit more about the fire at Oceania. What happened?Andreas Andersen: We had been building the water park for almost three years, and we were six, seven weeks away from handover. It was some of the last works on the right installation that went wrong. It was a plastic welding that overheated, and these things happen, as you know.Andreas Andersen: Unfortunately, we lost a colleague in the fire and that was basically, you could say, that overshadowed, I would say, everything, especially in the first weeks. Andreas Andersen: That was devastating to all of us and obviously, especially his family. But soon after, we also had to make some decisions. You know, did we want to rebuild? How did we want to rebuild? At what pace? How would we finance? etc. etc. So you also very quickly move into the next phase of a crisis management and that is recovery. And we've been in that phase ever since. Andy Povey: Interesting. It's a devastating situation. I mean, your concern obviously has to be for the team and the people involved— not just those affected directly, but everybody on the floor who feels an emotional impact from this situation. So what tips would you give, as a leader, going through a situation like that, to anyone else listening who may be facing their own challenges?Andreas Andersen:  Well, I think I learned a lot during those weeks and months. And I think I learned that in a crisis, especially of this magnitude, everything becomes very naked. Everything becomes very raw. And you cannot really play a role as a leader. You have to be yourself. You have to be authentic. And it's okay to also show emotions and be caught up in this process of figuring out what to do with the project and the team and yourself when you meet challenges of this severity. Andreas Andersen:  So I would say be yourself, but also recognise that I always say that leadership in a crisis is a little bit like your biggest asset is the confidence that people have in you. And that confidence is something you build up over years. It's a little bit like a bank account that you can then draw on when the crisis hits. But you really have to make sure that you have something on that bank account. You can't borrow confidence. It's not up for loan. So you really, you know, crisis management, from a leadership perspective, actually starts a lot earlier than the crisis. It's about, you know, building a team that works well together, that trusts you and has confidence in you. And then, when the crisis hits, you know, you can draw on that trust, draw on that confidence. So I think that's two of the learnings that I had during this process.Andy Povey: I love the idea of the bank that you can draw on. We're making deposits in our bank every day, not just as a commercial leadership level, but a personal level as well. You need to have that resilience built in yourself. A lovely analogy. And I really love the idea of authenticity. So, if we move on now to talking a little bit more about what we do in an attraction, I think authenticity plays a really big part in that. So, how important is it for you to keep innovating at Liseberg?Andreas Andersen: It's super important because we are in a regional market. I mean, if you look at how our guests are composed, you know, we have 90% Swedish people and then 10%, maybe 12% in a good year from other, especially Nordic countries. But the majority are Swedish and about 60% of our total volume is actually from the local market. And if you want to attract the local market and you want to drive revisitation, Gothenburg is a large city, but it's not a huge city. You have to keep the product fresh. You have to reinvest, reinvent, and constantly adapt. And I think that's actually... part of the, you could say, the formula for these Nordic city-based parks that we've actually had to all reinvent, you know, throughout our history. I mean, Tivoli, that was founded in 1843, it was built by this crazy entrepreneur called Geo Carstensen.Andreas Andersen: And when Tivoli opened on the 15th of August, it was late, it was over budget, and it was not quite finished. And he got a question from a journalist, you know, asking him, you know, when will Tivoli be finished? And his response was, 'Never.' Tivoli will never be finished. And I think, you know, it's almost 200 years ago that he said this, but I think it encompasses sort of the real DNA of our industry that we have to constantly evolve with our guests and reinvent ourselves. And I think, again, that the city, the Nordic city-based parks have really been quite good at that.Andy Povey: Obviously, I mean, Liseberg with 100 years, Tivoli with almost 200 years. There's something good there. You're doing something right. So more recently, you've taken a position with, I'm going to pronounce this awfully, Leo's Lekland. Compare and contrast Liseberg to Europe's largest chain of family entertainment centres?Andreas Andersen:  I mean, there are a lot of similarities and also a lot of differences. I think what is interesting for me, you know, working with Leos is that it's, in many ways, the model is the same. I mean, you pay an entrance fee, you spend a few hours with your family, you may eat a lunch or buy an ice cream or a plush animal. So in many ways, it's the same. But I think, when we're talking about these attractions that are really designed for shorter visits, there is a convenience perspective to them that it's slightly different than, you know, visiting an amusement park or a theme park for a full day. I remember once I had a conversation with one of our competitors in this market, not FECs as such, but, you know, these shorter visits, you know, two, three-hour visit attractions, very often midway attractionsAndreas Andersen: And he said, 'What we sell is actually not.' necessarily an experience, it is two hours spent and I think that's a little bit of a different perspective on an attraction that you actually also go to, Leo's Lekland, to have your kids, you know, be really really tired when they get home, you know, in today's world, where everything is a lot of a lot of stuff is digital and and the kids sit there with their with the tablets and their phones and or their game consoles or they're online with their friends. I think play has a huge and important role to play in the development of motoric and social skills for kids. I think physical play will be something we're going to discuss a lot in the decades to come, because I think we lost a couple of generations the last 20 years. And I think that's a super dangerous thing. So getting back to your question, a lot of similarities, but there are also some differences and I've learned a lot by working with them.Andy Povey: Fantastic. The talk about play really resonates. We lost a year, maybe 18 months through COVID. I have 11-year-old twin girls. I love the idea that me taking them to our local FEC on a Saturday morning so I could recover from a hangover while they went and played was a really positive, good parent thing to do. So thank you for that. We're at the show. What are you looking forward to seeing when you get out on the show floor, when we eventually let you go out on the show floor?Andreas Andersen:  Oh! I very rarely have a plan. I like to just stroll around. Actually, I see it a little bit like visiting an amusement park. You shop for experiences and you see what happens. I think one of the great things about these expos is the fact that, and that's probably what I look most forward to, is that you meet your industry colleagues.Andreas Andersen:  A company like ours, Liseberg, we do not exist; we do not operate within a chain structure. We do not have a corporate mother that knows a lot about what we do. We do not have other parks that we can benchmark with. So these shows is also a little bit a way for us to get out of the bubble and meet other people that work with the same thing as we do. So it's actually not as much the expo floor or the events or the educational program as it is meeting the people. I enjoy.Andy Povey: Andreas, it's been great talking to you. Thank you very much for your time and have a fantastic show.Andreas Andersen:  And I wish you the very same. Thank you.Paul Marden: Now let's head over to the show floor. So we are here on the ProSlide stand, and I'm here with Aaron. Aaron, introduce yourself. Tell us a little bit about ProSlide.Aaron  Wilson: Hi, nice to meet you. Thanks for coming in. I'm Aaron Wilson, Senior Vice President, Business Development, EMEA, with ProSlide. I've been with ProSlide for nine years. We're focused really on the design and innovation of rides. That's where we really form the nucleus of who ProSlide is.Paul Marden: Okay, so what are you launching here at this year's IAAPA?Aaron  Wilson:  Yeah, so let's walk over here to our model table. Where we have a large model of our newest feature, which is the Hive. We actually opened up two rides this year, one at Chimelong in China, the most attended water park in the world. Paul Marden: Wow. Aaron  Wilson:  And that's with a five-person family raft, everyone seated facing each other.Paul Marden: That's amazing. So you're going through this on a five-person ring kind of thing?Aaron  Wilson:  Exactly, a five-person tube. So it's a tight radius helix curve. So as you enter, you're entering into a completely open, basically cathedral space. But as you're dropping and turning very quickly, you're staying really stuck along the outside of the wall, feeling those centrifugal forces. And you have a 360-degree global view. So you're able to look forward, backwards, upwards, down. See everywhere where you came from and where you're headed.Paul Marden: It's amazing, isn't it? Because you've got transparent sides on it. So you can see outside as well.Aaron  Wilson:  Absolutely. And there's a ton of theming potential here. In the middle is a support structure. And so we're working on theming there in the middle, if we can. Special effects around the outside. In this case, it's transparent. Exactly.Paul Marden: You've got some amazing models on the table here. This is one of those rides that you can't really bring to IAAPA and experience in real life because we'd all have to be in our swimmers.Aaron  Wilson:  Unfortunately, yes.Paul Marden: But some amazing, amazing models. What's innovative about this? What's this bringing to the market, which is unusual?Aaron  Wilson:  So you have that 360-degree helix turn. We've completely opened it up. So normally in a turn, you can only see a few meters in front of you. In this case, it's a feature that's completely open as you're making that turn. And so you can see everywhere, right? Up and down, forwards, backwards. And that's really part of the differentiation. But obviously the biggest sensation is actually that experience you feel as you have those centrifugal forces around the outside. With a five-person boat, you're looking at about 800 pounds, and you're whipping around the outside, gaining tons of speed throughout. So it's really exciting. The additional interesting thing about this element is we're also doing a two-person tube and a small compact footprint.Aaron  Wilson:  So it's very adaptable for indoor parks or even outdoor parks that don't have a ton of space. That compact footprint gives a lot of flexibility in the design.Paul Marden: So you've got this in China at the moment, you say?Aaron  Wilson:  Yep, and one in the US. And there are a lot more to come in the next one to two years already programmed and open. So we're really excited about this for the water parks.Paul Marden: That's amazing. So we've been asking everybody to get their crystal ball out and tell us trends for 2026. Where do you think the market is going? What do you think that we can expect to see this time next year at IAAPA? Aaron  Wilson:  Water coasters. Water coasters are the big thing. Paul Marden: What on earth is a water coaster? Aaron  Wilson:  Yeah, well, let's head over here to another model table. We have a couple of examples here. So I would say, like in the last couple of years, specifically speaking about Europe, we've seen an amazing response to our water coaster technology using water propulsion. We call it the rocket blast.Paul Marden: Right.Aaron  Wilson:  And so what you have is a series of injectors placed along the uphill sections that actually push the boat uphill. That's amazing. And so with that technology, we're able to do a number of things. And this actually, this ride opened about a year and a half ago at Land of Legends in Turkey. This is, you know, one of the biggest things that will stand out to you here is, as you're looking around all the models, what's very common with a water park is you have—gravity-fed rides, meaning you climb a tower and use gravity to go down. Paul Marden:  This is very flat and long. Aaron  Wilson:  Exactly. This is built essentially on grade. There's no tower here. So, I mean, the first thing is accessibility. So now, as you know, there's no steps. You know, water parks are historically very difficult to meet accessibility. Paul Marden: Yeah. Do you know, I've never thought of that before. But of course, you need to climb the stairs to be able to get to the top of the tower.Aaron  Wilson:  So this case, this is called Turtle Coaster. And this is at Land of Legends. Our guests can walk or, you know, walk or wheel.Paul Marden: Yep.Aaron  Wilson:  As they want up this ramp. This is about four meters off grade. We have a little bit of a drop here. So this is a closed-circuit coaster, right? Meaning the guests are finishing and ending in the same location. Also something different from a water ride. Normally you're going up a tower and finishing in a pool. Here you're finishing and starting at the same location, much like a mechanical dry-growing coaster.Paul Marden: And this, just for listeners' benefit, this has got eight or nine turns in there. It's really, you know. It's going to be a normal coaster-type ride, isn't it?Aaron  Wilson:  This is a 420-meter-long coaster. You're looking at about a minute-and-a-half water ride, which is crazy. Most water rides are about 30 seconds, you know? So it's a really long experience. You have eight uphill last sections, along with what else is unique with our technology is we're able to incorporate these flat last sections. So much like a mechanical coaster has that launch element to it. We're able to do that with water propulsion. So right off the stop, you have this completely flat launch blast. Up, you're getting the elevation. You go around for 420 meters, a series of flying saucer features, uphill sections. Coming back into a water channel.Aaron  Wilson:  And landing in the landing pool, it picks you up on a moving station conveyor. So this conveyor is actually moving at a very slow pace. Guests are cutting off and getting back on.Paul Marden: This is not a lazy river, is it? That you're just sat around for a little while. This is going to hair around.Aaron  Wilson:  Absolutely not. And then here at Siam Park is another coaster here. We opened up in '23. Doolin. So you had two lanes.Paul Marden: Oh, wow.Aaron  Wilson:  And you're racing side by side throughout the experience.Paul Marden: That is amazing. Well, Aaron, look— it's been wonderful to meet you. Find out more about what you're doing here. Looks super, super exciting. I want to get my swimmers on and go and try some, but maybe not whilst we're here in Barcelona, but maybe one time soon.Andy Povey: So we're on the show floor again and I'm with Robbie Jones from Katapult. Robbie, please tell the listeners at home a little bit about Katapult, what you do with them.Robbie  Jones: So we design themed attractions, experiences and destinations. So that can be anything from theme parks all the way through to museums. And our— I guess our core competency is design stage, so pre-concept designs. We get involved quite a lot in theme parks that are very early stages. And my role in that is quite unique within the team of creatives and designers, in that I look towards the insights. So sometimes I work with feasibility partners to kind of pull together the economic requirements for a theme park or an attraction to exist. But more often than not, it's about the guest journey, the guest behaviour, how can we make the guest experience as best as possible by understanding information research that we might have already but also doing some primary research as well to make sure we're creating like that amazing moment for every person that walks through the door.Andy Povey: Fantastic. That sounds really, really impressive. Looking back over 2025, what are your key takeaways from this year so far?Robbie  Jones: Goodness, me. I think I'll speak with a lot of what the industry would say, which is it's been a little bit sticky in places in 2025. There's certainly been more maybes than yeses or nos in terms of projects. But I think we're starting to see things beginning to move. Someone's put some oil in the engine somewhere, which is great. And there's some really exciting projects coming up. Obviously, as a UK-based company, seeing the likes of Universal, Poodie Foo, setting up shop. It's going to be really interesting to see how that impacts not just the UK, but the European market as well.Andy Povey: I couldn't agree more. I really, really look forward to seeing that anticipated improvement in quality of experience that we'll get across the UK. So looking forward to '26 now, what are you anticipating as being the exciting things we're talking about in 12 months' time?Robbie  Jones: Gosh, I mean, I think there will be an element of a quiet time, I think, especially with the new build theme parks, whether that's in the UK or, of course, in the Middle East. I think there'll be an element of quiet that we need to get used to in terms of waiting to see what the next big thing is or the next IP that's going to be in those rides. But I certainly see a lot more positive vibes coming out of the industry. I think we'll see more exciting local experiences, maybe not just big global ones. And yeah, just on the horizon, maybe plenty more opportunity and positivity.Paul Marden: It has been my first IAAPA Expo, and I've had a whale of a time. And I am joined here by Peter van der Schans, the VP and Exec Director of IAAPA EMEA. Peter. Tell me a little bit about what the show has been like for you because I've had an amazing time.Peter van der Schans: Well, so did I. The funny thing is we've always worked so hard on these expos. It takes a hell of a lot of time and it all comes back in this one week. And once you exit that plane or train or however you arrive, you start in a bus and then it's over before you know it.Peter van der Schans: And the week is done and you fall in this big black hole. That's where we're going now. So it's been a wonderful week and it's great to see all our members and every industry leader that is visiting us. We're a small team at IAAPA. We're not a huge organisation, but we have our members supporting us. It's a team effort from both IAAPA and our members, basically. And it's only pride.Paul Marden: One of the most important parts of the show, I think, is the educational side of what you do. There's been a big educational program. Are there any big themes that you've spotted coming out of that education strand?Peter van der Schans: So the education program actually is built with our members and by our members. So, of course, we guide it and shape it. But it's actually done by our members. So it's our members saying, 'Hey, this is where I have issues with. This is the trends I see. This is where I think this is going, which makes it always accurate because we have that industry knowledge by our members.' So in that sense, what we saw this year, there's a lot of focus on AI, obviously, the hot topic nowadays. Paul Marden: It's not a single interview I do where somebody hasn't dropped AI into it. So it's a hot topic.Peter van der Schans: It's a hot topic. And I'm very curious also to see where it's going because right now, if you see execution, the focus is much on back office. For example, Parks Reunidos for example, shared on stage, that they can now predict their next, the next day in visitor numbers with accuracy of 93% which is perfect. Things like that. But I'm curious exactly to see how it's going to evolve in the future to the front end. So what is that visitor going to see in the future? Whenever I go to a theme park, for example, will I be recognised by my name? And if I ride a ride, will the animatronic know my name, for example? Things like that. I think there's limitless possibilities.Peter van der Schans: And we're just at the verge of the beginning. And it's also so, so, so excited about that education program that we share what we know and we work together to get to that point to make it better. Paul Marden: Yeah, absolutely. The collaboration in this sector is just amazing. And IAAPA is just the living proof of that. So many smiling faces. You know that there were competitors together on stands just chatting and enjoying. It's a really enriching experience seeing everybody work together.Peter van der Schans: It is, it is. And the funny thing is I've worked in this industry since I was 16. I started as a ride operator. I didn't know any better than when I had an issue when I became supervisor and manager that I could call the park at the other end of the country and ask, like, 'Hey, how are you dealing with this?' And they helped me. And then I worked at the cinema industry and suddenly I realised that that is not that common in all industries, to say it lightly. It was much more competitive and I didn't want to share anything and really opened my eyes in a way that I realised, like, 'hey, this is special'. And also made me realise that IAAPA plays a big part in that as well, as an organisation to bring all those people together, to provide that platform to work together.Paul Marden: Yes, the facilitators of the community, aren't you? I'm going to ask you a slightly controversial question here. Outside of show hours, what has been your favourite party or event? And you can name drop any one of them. It's absolutely fine. Nobody will be upset with you.Peter van der Schans: I must say the ballpark reception, obviously for the British people. Always good beers. The Tuesday events with the opening ceremony, where we really kick off the week. They made me dance again. I don't recommend watching that back, but that's always just a fun, fun morning where we really kick off the week with a big energy, with a nice connection to the host city as well. Peter van der Schans: It's always fun to work on that and to execute that, but also the evening event, the opening reception where we gather. Well, this year we had 1,400 industry professionals coming together and mixing, mingling in Tibidabo. Without rain, thankfully. Paul Marden: Well, yes, this is the thing. So I was watching the skies thinking this could go really badly wrong. The BBC weather forecasts were not looking good. Peter van der Schans: There's this tradition in Barcelona that you bring eggs to nuns and they make sure you'll have good weather. We did that. We brought three dozens.Paul Marden: Took a lot of eggs. There was a lot of eggs broken in the making of this party. But you did very well. We're at the end. And everybody gets to heave a big sigh of relief that the show's done. It's in the can. But there's also a touch of sadness and fondness looking forward to what comes next. So next year, what have you got coming up first? I understand there's something in the Middle East.Peter van der Schans: Yeah, absolutely. We actually last year at this expo in Amsterdam, we announced the launch of our newest expo, IAAPA Expo Middle East, which is actually the first time in IAAPA's history that we built a new expo from scratch.Peter van der Schans: Never done that before, our members and and people in the industry ask us year after year like, 'When is IAAPA coming to the Middle East?' Of course, there's a huge amount of investments going on in that region. It's crazy. And in that sense, we we simply listen to our members and decide that this is the time we need to go. And we're excited to get closer and closer to the actual launch of the event in March in 2026 in Abu Dhabi.Paul Marden: So March 2026, Abu Dhabi is our next event. But there is another event coming next year. IAAPA is coming to London, which I'm very pleased about. Tell me, is the planning all starting on Monday? Are you already a long way through planning? Plans you can share with me about what's coming up in London?Peter van der Schans: We will have an exciting program for sure, but we're not there yet with with the actual education programme. That takes a little bit more of time, but we do have the show Florencial already and that's looking to be another record-breaking show. What I think also remarkable is that we will have one third more education than we will have in our previous show. So we always had two conference rooms— we'll have three in London. So we'll have actually quite a big increase in our educational offerings as well.Paul Marden: That's amazing. I cannot wait. This has been my first IAAPA, but it won't be my last IAAPA. I think I can confidently say that. So grateful for you and the team inviting us along as Skip the Queue to be part of what you've been doing. We've had an amazing time and I cannot wait to see you again in London.Peter van der Schans: Thank you very much and happy to have you here.Paul Marden: We are here at the end of day three of IAAPA Expo Europe. We've had a wonderful time. Andy Povey: I'm broken. Paul Marden: Oh man, I'm going home a broken man. The voice is barely holding on. I am here with Laura Read from Marwell Zoo. Welcome to Skip the Queue, Laura.Laura Read: Hello. Thank you for having me.Paul Marden: Laura, what's it been like for you? What's the benefit of coming to IAAPA for you?Laura Read: So this is my first IAAPA. For me, this was all around looking at what's new for visitor attractions, what's innovative, what's coming up, and what could we potentially bring to the visitors of Marwell Zoo that might be exciting and might drive more visitors to come to us, really, ultimately. It's all about, for us, diversification, keeping the zoo product at the core of our offer, obviously, but seeing how we can augment that with other things.Paul Marden: So what can we expect? Is it going to be a 4D immersive ride experience? Water slides? Or are you looking for something that enriches the in-real-life experience for you? And it's a bit more low-tech.Laura Read: Oh, I'd love to put in like a water park. Do you know what? That's something like the coolest stalls. Like going around going, 'oh, I'd love to design a water park. That's so fun. No, no'. So for us, it's really about looking at sort of smaller, lower-level, new attractions that we can bring in, you know, we're primarily a family audience. So it's what do kids want to play on? You know, I've seen some really cool little ride-on Jeeps that we think would work really, really well because we also want to stay true to our ethos. You know, Marwell's built its reputation on our conservation work, our hands-on conservation work in the field, you know, reversing species decline and also around sustainability. So sustainability is really core to our offer.Laura Read: This is not about turning Marwell into a theme park or a water park or anything like that, because the animals are still very much the stars of the show, as is the conservation work. But it's about how we can best utilise our space to provide that density of guest experience. And I think seeing all the things here today. That's where the inspiration comes in.Paul Marden: I think it's really interesting, isn't it? Because when you take your kids to the zoo, you need some space. You need a palate cleanser between the animals, don't you? To give the kids time to burn off some energy, to do something a little bit different. And then they come back re-energised and you're hiding the vegetables. You're teaching them about the conservation efforts and all the really important stuff that you do, but hidden around lots of things that keep them happy and engaged in what's going on.Laura Read: Exactly. The problem with zoos is the animals— they don't care that they're the exhibits.Laura Read: And, you know, we are a primarily outdoor attraction. Extremes of heat, rainy days, animals disappear. We know that. We know that the perennial problem is: I didn't see any animals because we have really, really high animal welfare levels and standards. And if those animals want to go off show and take themselves off to bed or away from the public view, they all can and should and do. So we need something that can keep kids particularly engaged and entertained, hopefully getting across a bit of education and messaging as well at the same time. That's a massive tick in the box. But, you know, it fills in the gaps when those animals just aren't playing ball.Paul Marden: Yeah, absolutely. Andy, what's been the highlight of day three for you, mate?Andy Povey: So I think it's actually talking to Laura.Paul Marden: Such a charmer.Andy Povey: Let me finish. Let me justify. It's really picking up the fact that this isn't just a theme park show. Yeah. There are elements for everything you could possibly do any day out any attraction, even in any shopping centre or any place you go to where there's large crowds of people— so it's all of that kind of stuff. I think is it's refreshing to see it through someone else's eyes, through our conversations.Laura Read: I was going to say, 'I have to say,'  Before I was chief exec at Marwell, I ran a really large, shopping centre like retail, leisure, events, and destination. And I'm amazed that this is not on more commercial real estate people's radar. I look to see if there's anyone from a previous company here, then there isn't on the attendees list. And I'm like, 'Wow,' this is all the stuff that we should have been thinking about five years ago, ten years ago, when we were realising that diversification from a retail point of view is so important because of online shopping. So that's really interesting what you say. It's not just the theme parks.Andy Povey: No, absolutely not. It's all about the day out. And ultimately, that's all. We're all here to do is we work in a fun industry, and fun doesn't have to just be an amusement park.Paul Marden: Yeah, I found it really interesting. Seeing the things that I've seen has stretched my definition of what a visitor attraction actually is, because it is more than just a theme park. As you wander around and you see the different exhibitors, I was expecting to see... The ride designers and some of the really cool tech that I've seen. But there was other stuff that I've seen that I just hadn't expected.Andy Povey: No, I mean, I was chatting yesterday to a guy who supplies park benches and litter bins.  You see them everywhere. Paul Marden: I say the park bench thing. I remember when I was working at the Botanic Gardens in Wales as it was being built, the importance of the park bench and sitting on them. And they were beautiful park benches, but they were also super comfy. The importance of a park bench, like a good toilet, can't be underestimated.Laura Read: You can always tell someone who works in visitor attraction operations, when they go to any other visitor attraction, they take pictures of the bins. I think that is an absolute giveaway. When I go places with my family and the kids are there, taking pictures of animals or taking pictures of each other or whatever they're doing. And I'm there. Oh, I'm just gonna take a picture of that sign. You know, like.Andy Povey: I have another confession to make. I had a conversation with my wife who took the kids to an attraction a couple of weeks ago. And I was most distressed that she hadn't taken a picture of the till for me.Paul Marden: Oh, you would know what the part number and everything about that till, wouldn't you? Such a retail geek.Paul Marden: Laura, thank you so much for joining us on Skip the Queue. It has been delightful. I feel that there might be a full episode coming on, talking about the zoo, if you'll have me.Laura Read: Yes, absolutely. Bring it on. Paul Marden: Oh, wonderful. Thank you so much.Andy Povey: Andy, take me to the airport.Paul Marden: If you enjoyed this episode, please like and comment in your podcast app. It really helps more people to find us.

it."Da: Lars, der nu følte sig meget bedre, smilede svagt og tilføjede: "Måske skulle jeg bare holde mig til pandekager næste gang."En: Lars, now feeling much better, smiled faintly and added, "Maybe

Vincenzo FarinellaLe «favole antiche» di Piero di CosimoLucrezio, Ovidio e le magiche sorti dell'umanitàOfficina Librariawww.officinalibraria.netLe Storie dell'umanità primitiva di Piero di Cosimo (1462-1522) rappresentano indubbiamente uno dei cicli pittorici più originali e sconcertanti del Rinascimento italiano: si tratta di una serie di pannelli pensati quasi sicuramente per decorare l'abitazione di Francesco del Pugliese (c. 1460-1519), facoltoso mercante e uomo politico fiorentino di idee repubblicane. In queste tavole, senza confronti almeno fino alla fine dell'Ottocento, Piero di Cosimo ha raccontato per immagini la storia evolutiva della civiltà umana, basandosi tuttavia non sul canonico libro della Genesi, ma su una serie di fonti letterarie classiche tra cui spicca il De rerum natura di Lucrezio, da poco riscoperto. Poema pericoloso, fu giudicato «lascivo» ed «empio» per le sue tesi razionalistiche ispirate dalla filosofia epicurea e ben presto messo all'Indice. La storia dell'uomo in questa serie di tavole evolve a partire da una condizione brutale e primitiva, giungendo gradualmente - grazie anche alla decisiva scoperta del fuoco - a uno stadio più evoluto fino a culminare nel pannello finale, in cui è mostrato un vero e proprio trionfo delle arti rinascimentali ispirate all'antico. Emerge così in tutta la sua originalità la figura di Piero di Cosimo, artista isolato, eccentrico e bizzarro, ma al tempo stesso capace di dialogare con la cultura umanistica più aggiornata del suo tempo e di anticipare, in alcuni suoi dipinti, la teoria dell'evoluzione e le scoperte della moderna paleoantropologia.Vincenzo Farinellaè professore ordinario di Storia dell'arte moderna all'Università di Pisa. Ha studiato l'arte italiana del Rinascimento nei suoi rapporti con l'antichità classica; si occupa inoltre di pittura dell'Ottocento e del Novecento. Tra le sue ultime pubblicazioni, ricordiamo The Domus Aurea Book (2019) e Raffaello pittore archeologo (2021). Per Officina Libraria ha pubblicato Alfonso I d'Este. Le immagini e il potere. Da Ercole de' Roberti a Michelangelo ed è stato co-curatore dei cataloghi I voli dell'Ariosto. L'Orlando furioso e le arti (Tivoli, 2016) e I volti della Sapienza.

hoved som konfetti.En: The cart stopped with a sweet whining sound, and cotton candy sprinkled lightly over his head like confetti.Da: Befriet fra vognen, sprang Mikkel op.En: Freed from the cart, Mikkel jumped up.Da: Han rev klovnehatten frem, placerede den stolt på hovedet og begyndte sin klovneoptræden.En: He whipped out the clown hat, placed it proudly on his head, and began his clown performance.Da: Folk grinede, klappede og stampede taktfast.En: People laughed, clapped, and stomped in rhythm.Da: Han snublede med vilje, snurrede rundt og lavede grinende grimasser.En: He stumbled on purpose, spun around, and made funny faces.Da: Selv Astrid kunne ikke skjule sit smil.En: Even Astrid couldn't hide her smile.Da: Efter forestillingen blev Mikkel mødt med bifald fra en jublende skare.En: After the performance, Mikkel was met with applause from a cheering crowd.Da: Astrid takkede ham varmt og indrømmede sin kærlighed til klovne.En: Astrid thanked him warmly and admitted her

his adventurous spirit, chose a local specialty from the stall.Da: Han tog en stor bid, begejstret over at udforske noget nyt.En: He took a big bite, excited to explore something new.Da: Pludselig,

Transcript:Da: Tivoli Gardens summede af liv.En: Tivoli Gardens buzzed with life.Da: Det var en varm sommeraften, og luften var fyldt med duften af kandiserede mandler og lyden af glade grin.En: It was a warm summer evening, and the air was filled with the scent of candied almonds and the sound of happy laughter.Da: Farverne omkring var levende og næsten som i en drøm.En: The colors around were vivid and almost dream-like.Da: Mikkel og Freja gik side om side, lidt nervøse men spændte.En: Mikkel and Freja walked side by side, a little nervous but excited.Da: Mikkel havde haft en plan.En: Mikkel had a plan.Da: Han ville tage Freja med på den romantiske bådtur langs Tivoli Sø, måske vinde en bamse til hende i et spil og afslutte aftenen med is under stjernerne.En: He wanted to take Freja on a romantic boat ride along Tivoli Sø, maybe win her a teddy bear in a game and end the evening with ice cream under the stars.Da: Men Freja havde en anden ting i tankerne.En: But Freja had something else in mind.Da: Der var et mysterium, hun havde hørt om fra sin onkel.En: There was a mystery she had heard about from her uncle.Da: Noget mystisk var sket i Tivoli for år tilbage.En: Something mysterious had happened in Tivoli years ago.Da: "Har du hørt om den gamle skattejagt i Tivoli?"En: "Have you heard about the old treasure hunt in Tivoli?"Da: spurgte Freja pludseligt.En: Freja suddenly asked.Da: Mikkel kiggede på hende, lige dele forvirret og nysgerrig.En: Mikkel looked at her, equally confused and curious.Da: "Der skulle være en ledetråd gemt i den gamle labyrint," sagde hun med glitrende øjne.En: "There's supposed to be a clue hidden in the old maze," she said with sparkling eyes.Da: Mikkel tøvede.En: Mikkel hesitated.Da: Han ville så gerne imponere hende, og en skattejagt med en ukendt fare lød ikke som den perfekte date.En: He wanted so much to impress her, and a treasure hunt with unknown danger didn't sound like the perfect date.Da: Alligevel, Frejas entusiasme var smittende.En: Still, Freja's enthusiasm was contagious.Da: "Okay," sagde han til sidst.En: "Okay," he said finally.Da: "Lad os se, hvad vi kan finde."En: "Let's see what we can find."Da: De gik mod labyrinten.En: They headed toward the maze.Da: De snoede sig gennem de hækkevægge, og Freja studerede hvert hjørne og hver skygge.En: They wound through the hedge walls, and Freja studied every corner and every shadow.Da: Overalt omkring dem fortsatte Tivolis liv og glade lyde, men inde i labyrinten blev det hele lidt mere stille, lidt mere spændende.En: All around them, Tivoli's life and joyful sounds continued, but inside the maze, everything became a bit quieter, a bit more thrilling.Da: Pludselig stødte Freja ind i noget.En: Suddenly, Freja bumped into something.Da: Det var en lille trææske, halvt skjult i jorden.En: It was a small wooden box, half-buried in the ground.Da: Hun tog den op og åbnede låget.En: She picked it up and opened the lid.Da: Indeni lå et gammelt, falmet kort.En: Inside was an old, faded map.Da: "Dette må være det!"En: "This must be it!"Da: udbrød hun.En: she exclaimed.Da: Kortet viste en hemmelig rute til en skjult skat i hjertet af Tivoli.En: The map showed a secret route to a hidden treasure in the heart of Tivoli.Da: Mikkels hjerte bankede hurtigt.En: Mikkel's heart raced.Da: Dette var ikke, hvad han havde forventet, men deres jagt var spændende.En: This was not what he had expected, but their quest was exhilarating.Da: Han kunne mærke andrenalinet suse i hans krop.En: He could feel the adrenaline rushing through his body.Da: Han kiggede på Freja.En: He looked at Freja.Da: Hendes øjne strålede mere end nogensinde.En: Her eyes shone more brightly than ever.Da: "Skal vi?"En: "Shall we?"Da: spurgte han.En: he asked.Da: Freja nikkede begejstret.En: Freja nodded excitedly.Da: De fulgte kortet, der førte dem gennem de snævre stier og til sidst til en forsænket lysning, hvor en gammel kiste gemte på en håndfuld symbolske skatte – intet af monetær værdi, men fuld af eventyr og historie.En: They followed the map, which led them through the narrow paths and finally to a sunken clearing where an old chest hid a handful of symbolic treasures—nothing of monetary value, but full of adventure and history.Da: Aftenen endte ikke, som Mikkel havde planlagt, men eventyret bragte dem tættere sammen.En: The evening didn't end as Mikkel had planned, but the adventure brought them closer together.Da: Mikkel lærte at give slip på kontrol, omfavne det ukendte.En: Mikkel learned to let go of control, to embrace the unknown.Da: Freja fik smagen af eventyr, men hun indså også, hvor vigtigt det er at dele disse øjeblikke med nogen, der tænker på hende.En: Freja got a taste of adventure, but she also realized how important it is to share these moments with someone who cares about her.Da: Som de forlod Tivoli den nat, med de levende farver stadig glimtende bag dem, vidste begge, at de lige havde startet et nyt kapitel, sammen.En: As they left Tivoli that night, with the vivid colors still glimmering behind them, both knew they had just begun a new chapter, together.

Pogi is de absolute favoriet maar de getrainde luisteraar weet dat er een theorie in aantocht is. Een theorie die alle gebaande paden wegvaagt en elke vorm van verwachtingsmanagement het rijk der fabelen verwijst. Hoe kraak je iemand die alles kan?
