If you’ve never checked out DefunctLand on Youtube, what are you waiting for? By far one of my favorite channels… Actually one of the few that I regularly watch.
This article takes a dive in Kevin’s work on the channel and highlights a lot of interesting things.
Love Defunctland, glad he’s been getting so much attention. The Defunctland episode on the history of Coney Island was so informative and entertaining. I still need to catch up on his Fast Pass episode that everybody seems to rave about.
I sat though the Disney FastPass video recently and that was quite an interesting adventure
I actually had meant to watch it a while back but forgot about it… The article reminded me and I’m currently half way through it 😀
What’d you think of it???
It was great… Crazy in depth. I then moved on to the Disney Channel theme episode and that blew my mind even more. His research skills (and team) are incredible.
I’ve been subscribed for a while. It’s good.
yes, they sound long and boring at first, but one quickly get’s sucked in to the stories he tells. This is truly one of the few relatively unknown gems on youtube. Another one is Technology Connections BTW
Now that we got 2 of the 5 channels on Youtube that I watch (Defunctland and Technology Connections) I might as well mention CoasterBot, Aging Wheels, and El Toro Ryan
Also going to throw in a recommendation for Expedition Theme Park. Similar content in different series organized by park
I realized that the only reason why I was not interested in theme parks before, was because nobody told me about them in an interesting manner.
I honestly think so much of amusement parks goes unexperienced because coasters over shadow everything. Don’t get me wrong… Coasters are huge part but the pursuit of coasters can often cause people to overlook history, culture, less-known attractions, shows, and so on. After watching things like Defunctland it’s hard to look at things in the same way you always had before - and most of the time that’s a very good thing.
