"I think many guests would love to hear Neymar reading A Brief History of Time by Professor Stephen Hawking."


It's been yet another hugely successful meeting at Footballland HQ. 


We now have over 30 (THIRTY) rides, experiences and attractions, and it's now time to start thinking of the all-important part: where they actually go in the park itself. 


In this meeting the boys plan the park's zones, or 'areas' - 6 different regions of Footballland, titled UEFA-Land, ConMeBol Close, ConCaCaCaCaCaf Cul-de-Sac, Oceania Archipelago, Place de Caf and AsiaTown. Each region will have a giant statue of the person that represents their region the best. But which 6 statues will be chosen?


For all you theme park aficianados out there interested in the behind the scenes, this is the podcast to listen to. This is exactly how they plan your Disneys, your Thorpe Parks and your Alton Towers of this world. 

A must listen for students and the curious. 


Please note there is no guest this week, for two reasons:

a) Larry and Paul are still in the fibreglass testicle green room. 

b) This meeting is too important for guests, if anything. 


Footballland Explained:


Anthony Richardson has accidentally been given $1 billion dollars by Qatar to build a football-themed theme park in Qatar for the 2022 World Cup. He and Mark Davison (Chief Ride Engineer) are in a race against the clock to design and commission the most exciting football theme park rides in the history of amusements.

All the best 


Anthony Richardson, CEO of Footballland 

Mark Davison, Lord Sir Chief Ride Engineer
