Old interview with Laura Hanneman

BTT: What is your favourite attraction or themed maze/attraction that you did not work on?

LH: It would have to be Berry Tales. It was a huge part of my childhood memories, down to boysenberry scent. I really love dark rides and always wanted to be a part of creating one. I’ve done concepts for other parks, but nothing that came to fruition. I think it’s the one element that Knott’s lacks. 


BTT: What does the term “Theming” or “Theme” mean to you? (i.e. theme park or themed attraction)  


LH: Theming is the aesthetic atmosphere that can transport you to a different place. It’s an escape from reality, and the theming fools you to believe you are in a different world by mimicking a reality that doesn’t exist. When you sell that illusion or theme, you can tell an entire story without saying a word.
