Amusement parks are enduring vacation destinations for American families. The rides, the long lines for rides, the concessions, the long lines for concessions — these are practically familial rites of passage. Theme parks are also enormous moneymakers, with industry leaders such as Disney and Universal earning billions of dollars each year from their parks. In this episode, Gilbert Cruz chats with Brooks Barnes, who writes about show business (including theme parks), and Mekado Murphy, a film editor and thrill-seeker who reports on roller coasters. They talk about the state of the contemporary amusement park and the ups and downs of roller coasters around the world. On Today’s Episode: Mekado Murphy is the assistant film editor for The New York Times, and its unofficial roller coaster correspondent. Brooks Barnes covers Hollywood for The New York Times.

  • What does beauty have to do with winning a tennis grand slam,

  • or empowering communities, or tracking jaguars through the wild heart of South America?

  • Hi there, I'm Isabella Rossellini, and I'm back with season two of This Is Not a Beauty podcast,

  • where I uncover stories that get to the heart of how beauty is woven through every facet of our lives.

  • Listen to This Is Not a Beauty podcast from L'Oreal Group on your favorite podcast platform.

  • Welcome everyone to the Sunday Special.

  • I'm Gilbert Cruz.

  • I'm excited because today we're talking about one of my secret favorite things.

  • It's not movies or books or TV, all of which, honestly, are some of my favorite things in the world.

  • Instead, we are talking about amusement parks.

  • All year round,

  • Americans traveled to Orlando and Los Angeles and Anaheim to go to some of the most famous theme parks around.

  • And those who don't go there are likely going somewhere close to home,

  • like the six flags that I used to go to in New Jersey.

  • With me today to talk about amusement parks across America is Brooks Barnes,

  • who writes about Hollywood for the times.

  • He's visited all 14 Disney theme parks around the world.

  • And he also traveled with a carnival when he was younger, which is totally normal.

  • No big deal.

  • I have so many questions about it.
