ADG Introduces The Smart Park Podcast!

We’re excited to announce the launch of the ADG Smart Park Podcast — a new series dedicated to exploring the ideas, strategies, and innovations that shape the waterpark industry.


Why a Podcast?

At ADG, we’ve spent decades designing, building, and developing projects that bring success to owners and unforgettable experiences to guests. Through this podcast, we want to make those lessons more accessible than ever. Whether you’re an owner, operator, developer, or waterpark enthusiast, the Smart Park Podcast is here to help you create smarter parks and stronger guest experiences.


Episode 1: Understanding Waterpark Capacity

Our first episode, hosted by Julie Kline, ADG’s Director of Sales and Marketing, features Ray Lauenstein, ADG’s Director of Business Development – Specialty Construction. In this conversation, Ray breaks down how capacity is calculated, the most common mistakes parks make, and the innovative tools helping operators run more efficiently.

The response to Episode 1 was fantastic — it sparked some great conversations across the industry and opened the door for even more discussions about capacity and operations.
