Unbuilt: An Unrealized Theme Park Podcast

We're back!!  Join us for an epic three-week journey this November as Ryan O'Reilly recounts his September 2026 European journey alongside his cohost Ryleigh Dorman. This week, we explore the Netherlands' beloved Efteling! There may be future Unbuilt content in the future, stay tuned!

In this epilogue episode of our show, we look back on the 75 main feed episodes we have produced and glean any insights we have made since we started in 2021. In addition, we look at the cutting room floor of various projects we considered discussing, and select our favorite unbuilt ideas! This is the conclusion of a three-and-a-half year project, and we hope you enjoyed it and thank you for listening. You can reach us on various social media. We'll meet again, some sunny day...

Happy holidays! You didn't think we weren't going to torture Dorman one more time, did you? In this final holiday episode, we look back on O'Reilly's childhood memories with "Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas" and unlock a truly wretched piece of Christmas coal that we're certain many people are bizarrely fond of. Nostalgia's a hell of a drug!
