Amusement parks walk the fine line between fun-ish and semi-creepy. Maybe it’s the combination of sketchy rides, circus folk, questionable attractions, and way too many screaming kids, but there’s something a little unsettling about them. Add an ill-advised theme into the mix, and you’ve got a real summer-time winner. Although for most of the 20th century amusement parks were a staple of American culture, the shine is definitely off the bumper car. Tons of new parks litter the country, but many of the old classics, unable to compete with the snazzy new parks, have been shut down.

Imagineers share the unusual work of adding sound to Disney attractions in this new video. Director Michael Coleman recently contacted us about a video he recently produced about WDI sound teams. He takes us behind-the-scenes of Walt Disney Imagineering Studios to see how ride tracks, voice recordings, sound effects, etc. are produced. Even President Obama takes part in the Imagineering process. Side note: When recording his speech for The Hall of Presidents he said, "are these like wax figures or holograms?"... "Oh robots, that's kind of cool".

The act of Doodling is not given enough credit. Now, I'm not really talking about the scribbling you do while in a boring meeting. Neither am I discussing the science behind doodles or analysing the different shapes we scribble while on the phone. Rather, what I want to talk about is the escaping from the real world/daydreaming/letting your mind run free/keeping yourself sane aspect of doodling. Switching your brain on standby from the real world is a tough but worthwhile activity that you should indulge in whenever you can. There's letting your mind float away and then there's, what could maybe be described as 'active doodling' , where you make a proper effort to indulge in a quirky little project of your own.
