Cecil Baldwin: 作为Night Vale的播音员,我报道了Hysteria Land主题公园的盛大开幕。这个公园的主题是‘娱乐’,但其游乐设施的设计却并非为了单纯的娱乐,而是为了引发人们对存在主义的思考。例如,‘长木筏’项目探讨了我们与母亲的关系以及生与死的对称性;‘焦虑轮’象征着痛苦和悲伤如何转化为愤怒;而最引人注目的‘解离者’过山车,则被设计成一种存在主义的割裂体验。宠物动物园是唯一一个鼓励纯粹娱乐的地方,而其他项目都试图挑战游客对现实的认知和感受。 在报道中,我还讲述了‘解离者’过山车在首次运行时出现故障,游客被困在高空,以及最终由一位业余过山车设计师Journey Brown-Saintel成功修复的故事。这个故事也反映了Hysteria Land公园的独特之处,它将娱乐与存在主义的思考巧妙地结合在一起,引发了人们对现实和自我认知的思考。 Jeffrey Cranor: 在节目的开头,我推荐了我们制作的其他两个播客:《Random Number Generator Horror Podcast #9》和《Unlicensed》。前者是一个轻松的恐怖电影播客,后者是一个现代洛杉矶黑色电影风格的悬疑故事。我还鼓励听众支持我们的Patreon,并推荐了BetterHelp作为一种改善人际关系的工具。 Kenny Shea: 作为Hysteria Land的首席运营官,我对‘解离者’过山车故障的回应是,这只是设计的一部分,‘被困’本身比‘移动’更可怕。我强调了Hysteria Land的主题是‘娱乐’,但这种娱乐并非传统的逃避现实,而是对存在主义的探索。我通过在公园里进行TikTok舞蹈来展示我的观点。 Journey Brown-Saintel: 作为一名斯拉夫诗歌学者和业余过山车设计师,我通过观看YouTube视频学习了过山车维修知识。在‘解离者’过山车出现故障后,我独自一人爬上3000英尺高的过山车,并利用一位游客的折叠刀成功修复了齿轮,解救了被困的游客。这段经历让我对自身能力有了新的认识,也让我对Hysteria Land公园的独特设计有了更深刻的理解。
