The Themed Entertainment Creative Academy
Ever since enrolling in six-week workshops under the Themed Entertainment Creative Academy, I've grown as a designer. I never had the opportunity to learn under professionals in the industry. I’ve met so many creative and thoughtful people who continue to make this journey special and worthwhile. Their willingness to engage with the new generation of designers is one of my favorite aspects of this profession. They are truly the best in what this business has to offer and inspire countless stories for guests to experience for decades.

Under the direction of attraction writer, Ted Dougherty; this step-by-step course focuses on creating the foundation for seasonal attractions through the power of words. Theme parks and large-scale production companies require detailed analyses that articulate creative visions. With most theme parks hosting Halloween events, the emphasis of this course will delve into the dark shadows of storytelling within the industry. Using analytical thought and creative writing, students will gain the tools necessary to help scare and thrill brave theme park goers.
