Listen to an all-new podcast episode of #ExperienceImagination to get to know some of the industry's biggest names including Sally Dark Rides, Christie Digital, ProSlide Technology, Zamperla, Electrosonic, and Mack Rides.

Theme park rides stand as one of the few forms of popular entertainment that can vanish with no way to experience them once again. So, how can such a cherished art form be preserved? Kevin Perjurer, the creative mind behind Defunctland, has made it his business to document the fleeting nature of theme parks, both the good and the bad. In this episode, Adam and Kevin discuss how theme parks shape the cultures that give rise to them, the extent to which our own history is molded and packaged for our entertainment, and the pivotal role YouTube historians play in dismantling the everyday myths we tell ourselves.

Greetings!

As you know, Then Is Now is a show about all the cool stuff you may have missed out on, and Mini Golf has been one of those pasttimes (with windmills and giant dinosaurs!) that I haven't thought about for quite some time. When I stumbled across our guest's Facebook page, I knew I just HAD to have him on the show, not only to discuss Mini Golf attractions, but also several other attractions that he creates.

Our special guest is Larry Kirchner of Blacklight Attractions, and we discuss all the cool things his business builds including Mini Golf, Laser Tag Arenas, Interactive Mini Golf, Blacklight Funhouses, Axe Throwing Arenas, Dark Rides, Haunted Attractions, Christmas Blacklight Attractions, Escape Rooms, Restaurant Theming and more!

Larry and I have a fascinating discussion and at the end it gets into how technology has changed the way we listen to music! His website is: blacklightattractions.com, if you want to check out all the cool stuff that he can build for you!

So join us for a fun and lively conversation!

As always, please leave us a great review at iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, or wherever you download your podcasts, so others can find the show! Visit our website havenpodcasts.com for other fun stuff including our sister show, The East Meets the West, in which we discuss Shaw Brothers movies and Spaghetti Westerns!
