With Ray Bradbury the veil between reality and fantasy can be very disorienting.
After a protracted period of work consulting on Florida’s most ambitious theme park, EPCOT Center, Bradbury created his own vision of a theme park: The Great Electric Time Maze.
Impractical, economically inviable and centered around completely untethered Blue Sky concepts, this midwestern phantasia of a park is right up our alley!
Join us as we zoom through time, battle dinosaurs with our Electro-Guns, narrowly escape from the Mechanical Hounds and drown in the Sea of Eats in the park that only the greatest science fiction writer of the 20th century could have conceived.
It’s a new episode of The Lowdown on the Plus-Up: Ray Bradbury’s Theme Park — The Great Electric Time Maze!
