What goes into a theme park?

Steve Alcorn is the perfect person to read his own book, since it's written in his voice. I did find it helpful however to speed up the audio to X1.25 to keep the pace up.

laugh out loud funny

flew through it. felt like he was talking directly to me. very inspired to keep chasing those dreams!

He's an expert

I think there are millions of theme park enthusiasts and some of the enthusiasts write books; this guy on the other hand is a total expert and he did a great job of sharing his career experiences and details of all aspects of theme park rides and how the parks operate. A very professionally done book.

Wonderful story, and delightfully narrated

Nice overview for theme park design process people and outcomes. The story takes you inside the environment of theme park design.
