There are two aspects that are highly under-appreciated and discussed regarding the parks.
- Engineering: Industrial design, human factors.
- Psychological: emotional connections, information overload.
I am aiming to cover point one more in future posts, but have always had trouble with point two; I'm only an Engineer, not a psychologist. Luckily I've found a new blog that covers point two: PsychoSocial Disney Culture.
The mission statement:
"I mostly follow the current state of Disney but I have a social-science-colored lens through which to view them and compare it to the past. I'm a bit of a biased nostalgic but I try to keep that to a minimum and stick to what I’m educated in."What makes this blog different is the social science bend. In a web full of art analysis and history, this is a much needed breath of fresh air.
I'm so embarrassed I didn't see this post on your blog until just now. Thank you so much for taking the time to point interested readers in my direction. It makes me incredibly happy to be reminded that others enjoy what I love to write about. Much appreciated!
