If you’ve never checked out DefunctLand on Youtube, what are you waiting for? By far one of my favorite channels… Actually one of the few that I regularly watch.
This article takes a dive in Kevin’s work on the channel and highlights a lot of interesting things.

yes, they sound long and boring at first, but one quickly get’s sucked in to the stories he tells. This is truly one of the few relatively unknown gems on youtube. Another one is Technology Connections BTW
Now that we got 2 of the 5 channels on Youtube that I watch (Defunctland and Technology Connections) I might as well mention CoasterBot, Aging Wheels, and El Toro Ryan

Also going to throw in a recommendation for Expedition Theme Park. Similar content in different series organized by park

I realized that the only reason why I was not interested in theme parks before, was because nobody told me about them in an interesting manner.
I honestly think so much of amusement parks goes unexperienced because coasters over shadow everything. Don’t get me wrong… Coasters are huge part but the pursuit of coasters can often cause people to overlook history, culture, less-known attractions, shows, and so on. After watching things like Defunctland it’s hard to look at things in the same way you always had before - and most of the time that’s a very good thing.

Love Defunctland, glad he’s been getting so much attention. The Defunctland episode on the history of Coney Island was so informative and entertaining. I still need to catch up on his Fast Pass episode that everybody seems to rave about.
