In this competitive episode, join Alice and Buddy as they jump into the world of interactive rides for the first time in a few years—a world that has grown significantly since the last time they’ve considered it. How have rides gone Beyond the Shooting Gallery already? How can they continue to grow? What untapped potential is still out there? Where should we look for inspiration? And, perhaps most importantly, how do they see interactivity continuing to be a part of the rides of the future?Heads up, there’s plenty of talk in this episode about the imaginary weapons that rides and attractions ask riders to wield and their effects. We don’t think there’s anything particularly upsetting in here, but those who are sensitive about such talk might appreciate knowing that ahead of time!It’s another weekly episode of Those Happy Places!
