tspp #351- Wings Over Washington: The Whole Story w/ Griffith, Dynamic, Holt, Yessian & More! 9/9/17
In this episode we track the life of WINGS OVER WASHINGTON - one of the best new independent attractions in the world, from concept through opening. “We wanted to create more than just a beautiful travelogue of this amazing state,” said Brent Young, Super 78’s President and Creative Director. “So we developed a complete story that takes guests on a magical adventure. Inside the theater, the ride film is displayed with a system designed by Electrosonic state-of-the art Christie digital laser projectors.Binaural sound is delivered to each guest through the ride vehicle, from Dynamic Structures,complimenting the theater’s own complex surround sound system. Wings Over Washington also boasts a custom musical score supervised by Yessian Music, with a main theme composed by Antonio Di lorio and performed by the Northwest Sinfonia, conducted by David Sabee. Morethan 30 members of the Sacred Water Canoe Family, a Native American vocal and percussion group, also performed for the attraction’s score. About Miners Landing Miners Landing is located on Pier 57 on Seattle’s historic waterfront. On August 17, 1896, the SS Portland docked near the site of what is now the pier. On board was a ton of gold, brought back from the Yukon by 68 lucky prospectors. The landing of the Portland made headlines across the world, triggering the Klondike gold rush and turning Seattle into a boomtown. Over the next century, Pier 57 was a shipping terminal and then used for fish processing before being acquired by the Port of Seattle. The Griffith family officially acquired Pier 57 during the early 1980s, which they still own and operate to this date. The pier has become the site of multiple beloved Seattle attractions, including great eateries such as The Crab Pot and the FishermanÅs Restaurant, as well as The Seattle Great Wheel. Wings Over Washington is its most recent addition.

One of the most important pieces to creating a living immersive environment in the themed entertainment world is music. Music is the universal language that can engage emotion, promote excitement, evoke fear, and generate lasting memories. Yessian Music’s whole purpose is to transform an experience into a magical, multi-dimensional venture. This episode, Doug and Brent sit with Brian Yessian (Partner/CCO), Jeff Dittenber (Sr. Sound Designer/Audio Mixer), and Scotty Gatteno (Sr. Audio Mixer/Sound Editor) of Yessian, to discuss their journeys, as well as the components of creating music for themed and amusement experiences.

Jack Lindquist was not only the first President of Disneyland, but one of the most important innovators of theme park marketing. This podcast is a tribute to the amazing spokesperson that the themed entertainment industry lost on February 28, 2016. Here’s a recording of the 2013 IAAPA Disney Legends Panel, from Orlando, Florida. The presentation is based on the “Year of the Author.” It’s moderated by Bob Rogers (BRC Imagination Arts), and sitting on the panel is Jack Lindquist (former President of Disneyland, Author of In Service to the Mouse), Marty Sklar (former Ambassador of Walt Disney Imagineering, Author of Dream It! Do It!), and Lee Cockerell (former Executive Vice President of Operations for Walt Disney World Resort, Author of Creating Magic and The Customer Rules). Not the best recording (since this audio was never meant to be published), but a wonderful and educational piece on the industry, the importance of leadership, and includes the quick wit of the late, great, Jack Lindquist.
