  • Top 5 Fall Theme Park Events You Should be Excited For with Diamond Gray of Ride Soother | Episode 29

    Happy Autumn!

    I am so glad to finally say that. This day has been on my mind since it ended last year. Fall has always been my favorite time of the year and although the seasons in Florida don't change as drastically as other parts of America, I am grateful for what we do receive.

    Things such as cooler temperatures, fewer people at the ThemeParks, and an escape to the true Florida outdoor life!

    We come out of our summer hibernation in Florida and bask in the fall dรฉcor both autumn and spooky in nature as it kicks off the holiday season.

    Our guest today is the owner of RideSoother.com. She has a strong love and passion for immersive theme parks rides; particularly at Disney and Universal.

    As a child, Diamond was terrified of any fast-moving attraction. She wanted to first try a ride with one loop. She finally gave in panicking and crying, but rode Batman: The Ride at Six Flags Magic Mountain. She eventually ended up working at that same park.

    She is the host of Diamond Hearts Theme Park radio show. She wants to continue to help others enjoy theme parks as much as she does especially fans who are afraid of rides or who may suffer from motion sickness!

    She's also one of my favorite people.

    Let's welcome to the ThemeParkHipster Show my friend, Diamond.

  • How to Socialize on Your Solo Theme Park Trip | 7 Tips for Socializing on Your Solo Theme Park Trip for Introverts | Episode 24

    Question of the week: How to Socialize on Your Solo Theme Park Trip?

    If being alone scares you, don't worry.

    Since I started traveling to theme parks solo, I've noticed that I've become more confident in introducing myself to new people. This gives me a chance to truly be myself, since I am in my "zone."

    You may notice when you're with your friends you're more involved in the conversation, but when you're alone you're pleasantly nudged to spark up a conversation with someone waiting in an attraction line with you.

    It goes without saying that my solo trips to parks like Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando Resort, SeaWorld, and more are refreshing. However, there are moments when I want to reach out to others in the park, but the introvert inside of me has to push through my own self-limiting thoughts and strike up a conversation.

    Throughout my solo theme park travels, I've found a few little tricks for learning how to socialize on a solo theme park trip.

    And I want to show you how!

    So, let's jump right into theโ€ฆ.
