Theme Parks 100: What is an Attraction? Or: Hurry, Hurry, Hurry!

Those Happy Places

Welcome back to class for our second lecture! Join Alice and Buddy as they dissect the term “Attraction” as it relates to Theme Parks. What is an Attraction, really? When do Attractions become Theme Parks? What drives us to analyze them as we would literature? This one gets philosophical—so be sure to take notes!

It’s another episode of Theme Parks 100, a Summer School Series from Those Happy Places! This is the second of five weekly episodes. We hope you enjoy!
