Podcast: Joe Rohde and the science behind the art of theme parks
We are honored to welcome Disney Legend Joe Rohde as our guest on the Theme Park Insider Podcast this week.
Joe talked with me about his new book, "Floating Mountains," which explores the nature of creativity and how it applies to a variety of professions, including theme park and attraction design. We talked about the science behind the art of design, getting into issues of workplace management and the differences between Euclidean and fractal geometry.
Which just makes my inability to pronounce "hexagon" later in the episode all the more hilarious.
If you want to learn more about how people like Joe and Disney’s Imagineers make the magic that have enchanted millions of visitors over the years, reading "Floating Mountains" represents a wise investment of your money and time. I go deeper into a review of the book - as well as Bob Rogers’ recent "Deep Story" - in my Orange County Register column this week: What makes popular attractions so great? Experts share the secrets.
Thank you to Joe for joining us, and thank you for taking time to listen. Your recommendations of Theme Park Insider content on social media are always welcomed and deeply appreciated.
