   S4 Ep28: Unpicking the UK Theme Park Awards - With Ride Comparisons

   I can't tell you how many times I've been asked to get Ride Comparisons on Parkcast. As we were both nominees in the UK Theme Park Awards Content Creator category for 2026 - this seemed like the perfect time. In this episode we chat about some of the big winners, and whether the parks won the awards we thought they would. There were definitely a couple of controversial ones! I also want to say a huge thank you to everyone who nominated and voted for Parkcast in the awards this year. It means a huge amount for you to spend an hour a week with me. We may not have won this year - but Parkcast isn't going anywhere and that's only thanks to you.

   S4 Ep27: IAAPA - What's it all about? With Peter van der Schans

   As theme park enthusiasts we've all probably heard of IAAPA - especially their incredible expos. But the organisation does so much work behind the scenes in the attractions industry. I'm joined by Peter van der Schans who is the Executive Director and Vice President of IAAPA ESA for this episode to chat about why IAAPA exists, what it's done for theme parks and amusement parks globally and what we can expect from the Europe Expo in London in 2026.
