Channel of Catastrophe by Okamifan1 Productions Okamifan1 TheStreamer

On September 18, 1998, in the early stages of Typhoon Gading, a Sulpicio Lines Ferry named Princess of the Orient approached Fortune Island in the Batangas province of the Philippines. On board were 338 souls bound for Cebu, 150 of them would never make it there. What unfolded would be a series of errors made by the captain, that would doom these passengers. References:

That and my classwork atm has me fed up with doing hobby graphic design atm. So I did a no no.

Status update on podcast and why I haven't posted a new episode. I will post notice on my Instagram @Channel_of_catastrophe when the latest episodes production is nearly complete. TLDL: I basically have been in full college mode and swamped with course work leaving little to no time to research and script write.

Merry Christmas: In this Season 2 Finale, I go over the waterpark portion of Action Park, and its rides as well as the incidents that happened there. As well as (attempt to) defend the park from an enthusiasts POV. References: https://controlc.com/70c7f776

Sorry for the audio issues, part of the recording got corrupted four times during recording. I tried to fix it to the best I could but there are still some glitches, and janky transitions here and there... You have been warned.

In part 2 I cover the Alpine Center including the Alpine Slide & Cannonball Loop, and some other bad ideas that sprung up at Action Park. 

As the references list was longer than 4000 characters I can't link it on anchor directly so click the link below for the references used.

After months of painstaking research, writing, and one case of corrupted recording audio, the first of my long teased Action Park episodes is finally here. Apologies for the poor audio quality, this was recorded in my mom's closet, and a bit of an echo developed.

In this part I will be covering the founding of the park, and it's ski resort beginnings, as well as cover the part of the park known as Motorworld.
