Could the future of location-based entertainment hinge on the evolution of VR technology? Join us as we discuss the dynamic intersection of cutting-edge VR advancements and persistent challenges like outdated hardware and lack of spare parts. Christine returns from her vacation, bringing new insights and setting the stage for future discussions. We also spotlight industry trends, including Dave & Buster’s innovative wagering system, and the rise of augmented reality apps reshaping guest experiences.

Imagine navigating the bustling corridors of Disney or Universal with unprecedented ease. We explore the pressing issues of crowd control and safety during major events, drawing inspiration from the unique strategies employed at Burning Man. We’ll also speculate on how future leadership changes might impact these iconic theme parks, and delve into the potential of using drones for streamlined communication and improved guest satisfaction. The historical context of Disney’s methods provides a fascinating backdrop as we explore these forward-thinking concepts.

What makes a guest experience truly memorable? Insights from an ex-Walt Disney Imagineer shed light on the power of executive involvement in frontline roles, and we discuss the evolution of entertainment spaces from classic arcades to modern, customizable environments. From gamification to advanced entry systems, we examine how technology is revolutionizing guest interaction. As powerful brands like Netflix and GameStop enter the location-based entertainment arena, we explore how innovation and differentiation are key to staying competitive in this ever-evolving industry.
