Posted by I detailed some information on becoming a software engineer for the theme park industry on my other blog here. I haven’t perfectly delineated my two blogs so there is going to be some crosstalk.
I also gathered some interesting information from an excellent Redditor about animatronics (a potential area to go into as a computer science/animation hybrid dude).
I’ve noticed that show programming and control systems have a lot of overlap in terms of what skills you need. So, may as well keep working towards both!
