This is what I was looking for! An entry-level course about Theme Park Design, in which Steven show you a panoramic view of what is it.
Following this class you will undestand the world behind the scenes of projecting a theme park and all the possible careers.
It's a starting point in which it will be possible for you to select the career you want to pursue in order to go into detail later.
I'm starting my journey that will change me (I hope) from an Electronic Engineer to a person involved in theme park design.
I'll start to attend the first Italian Parks Academy late in October and I'll treasure this course !
Thank you Steven, with all my mouse-eared heart!
(PS: if you happen to be in Tuscany, don't foget to visit the tiny "Cavallino Matto" Park!)
Great explanations!
I was more hoping for a class on the technicality of making an attraction or learning what kind of things are necessary for a good design and how to develop that. This class is heavier on different engineering types so far and just little bits of tech or jobs that involve such. I'm only halfway through so I'm hoping the second half includes more design heavy processes and whatnot.
A great course by a great instructor!
Great course learned a lot
Great for having a general idea of the process of design a theme park!
Easy to watch and understand. Good on mobile.
Great course, enthusiast teacher!
