Coaster Enthusiast Conversations Ft. Braden

So much to talk about, we have a part two! (And inevitably, a part three at some point...) Jenn and Joey finish going through all of the themed areas, we talk a few other creative things about the park, and we finally get to all of our listener comments - and you all had so much to say!!

Follow Joey for some occasional Europa content lol: https://www.instagram.com/joeyschadenberg/

Part Two of our Europa Park Deep Dive!

So much to talk about, you're gonna get multiple episodes about it! In this one, Jenn (whose home park is basically Europa) and Joey (Jenn's Voltron ride op bf) go through a majority of the themed areas in the park, talking about immersion, rides, food offerings, vibes, and more. Allison contributes where she can because she's only spent two days at the park lol. Also an quick Orlando recap and Coaster Madness update!

Europa Park Deep Dive - Part One!

Coaster Enthusiast Conversations Ft. Ethan

Welcome to the first edition of Coaster Enthusiast Conversations, featuring Allison's good friend Alex! We talk about how he got into the hobby, what some of his hot takes are, what creative aspects he's driven to, and some coaster and park goals (plus Allison tries to convince him to book flights for a trip live on air...multiple times). Bear with us as we get used to this new format lol but let us know what you think, and if you'd be interested in coming on with us sometime!

The First Coaster Enthusiast Conversations Episode! Ft. Alex

This is Bryant's 9th year running a Coaster Madness tournament, and he decided to switch things up—a fully randomized bracket, with matchups determined live during the episode. We had to bring back Nathaniel (hawkvandelay), our official Coaster Madness historian to go over all of the matchups as they happen. Plus, Bryant talks Coaster Cruise, and Allison has a mini-announcement for the future of the podcast!

Voting starts later this month at https://www.instagram.com/coaster_365/ so make sure to go give Bryant a follow!

Coaster Madness 2026 Bracket Reveal!

This episode, we tackle a deep dive on a very important but often overlooked aspect of theme parks...entrances and entry plazas! What makes a good park entrance—due to theming, ride interactions, or something else—or what parks are lacking a great entry? Our listeners are in pretty close agreement on the standouts! Hear about Jenn's recent Florida trip based on more vibes than coasters, and find out about Allison's (misplaced) issues with Dorney Park.

Have Your Tickets Ready...Our Park Entrances Deep Dive is Now Open!

Happy New Year!! We decided to start the next year of Inverted Creative Podcast with a listener-centric, goals-focused episode.

Make sure to come back for a another listen at the end of the year to see if Allison, Jenn, and all the listeners accomplished their goals for this year!

Ending the Year on an Epic Note! Epic Universe Deep Dive

Allison and Jenn bring a very different creative topic to the table this episode, taking a look at station design—how theming and efficiency can have an impact the ride experience. We examine what stations we like best, what some parks could do better, and differences in design choices between Europe and the US. We also talk recent quick trop recaps and go over our Spoitify Wrapped stats for the podcast. IF you're listennig in—you contribute to these stats that we feel so proud of, and we appreciate the support!! 

How Does Station Design Impact the Ride Experience?
