The D-Ticket : The Theme Park Design and Imagineering Podcast

Just found this podcast yesterday. I design landscape parks and really found this podcast. Fascinating. Especially the episode on Park layout. I wish it was still around.

Finally caught up and I devoured this podcast. If you’re a fan of design and really want to sink your teeth into the principles and details of why places like Disneyland are so good (or not so good, in some cases) this is for you. And unlike some theme park podcasts, these folks and their guests ARE the designers bringing these wonderful places to life. Highly recommend.

This podcast is a great balance between theme park design knowledge and enthusiasm. It’s smarter than a typical enthusiast podcast, but more enjoyable than a typical design podcast.

I’ve been working as a photographer and videography for quite a few years now and decided to take those skills and develop some new ones and move into Themed Attraction Design. I found this podcast while trying to gain as much knowledge as possible and it doesn’t disappoint. They do a great job doing deep dives into whatever they are covering in each episode. They’re both very knowledgeable about the subjects and fun to listen to. I also love that they use David Younger’s book Theme Park Design as a reference for many of their episodes as it’s the closest think to a text book the industry has (I think…). I highly recommend listening to this podcast!
