TV Alerts Thread (Theme Parks)

“Epic Ride: The Story of Universal Theme Parks” is now streaming on Peacock if you have that service (probably via VPN) and popping up elsewhere.

It's a three part series about the construction of Epic Universe but also uses this as a stepping off point to look back at the history of Universal as a movie studio and theme park operator.

Watched episode one (about an hour long) and its been good so far.
 
The BBC Radio History program Witness History have done an episode about Dismaland on its tenth anniversary including interviews with staff
For those who aren't aware, Dismaland was a temporary exhibition by Banksy in Weston-super-Mare which was a dystopic satire on theme park resorts (Banksy described it as a bemusement park)
