Speaker 1 (00:01):
From the theme park capital of the World, Orlando, Florida.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
This is the Theme Park Podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Wait podcast?
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Is this all radio? Why does everything gotta be so
messy on this station?
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Anyway?
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Here's your hosts, Dickerman, Jimmy D and Scott Harris.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Hey thereon, Welcome to the Theme Park Podcast. Dickerman. Here,
there is Jimmy D. Good evening, gentlemen, and Scott Harris.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Hi, Hello, what's going on? What's new? What's up?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Are we getting closer to it not being so brutally
hot outside that we can actually go to theme parks again?
I mean I would like like when we get to
the first night of haolloween Hornites, which isn't that far
away for it not to be one hundred and seventy
five degrees outside?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Are we approaching that?
Speaker 4 (00:46):
No, Dickerman, No, we are approaching that level Marrio Brothers
where the sun tries to kill you.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Yeah. God, yeah, tough time to go to theme parks
right now. It is just brutal outside, Scott. That is
something that they should have at the Marrio World.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
There's just a floating heat ball that just follows.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Yes, it's already there, like during the summer months. They
should have that angry sun that like swoops down and
tries to burn you up in the sand, you.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Know how, Like a lot of like outdoor queues they
have like fans strategically placed. They should just put heaters
there instead, and you're blasted with heat?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Why because we can't. That's why the.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Thing is like when I went to I went to
I went to Universal like two or three weeks ago.
When I want to go buy a cinnabon because I'm
I'm an adult, you're brave man and uh and I
they have you know those giant like a tower air
conditioner blower things. They have those like strategically around places
(01:55):
as like shade spots.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Yeah, like you look like you're about to go down,
we pop you in front of one of these things.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
It makes me things like how did I do like
warp tour in the dead of summer?
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah? I arp always have to come into deada Center,
true a warp turn as fest too as fest same
thing debta summer deada summer.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Well because because kids are out of school, it's a
lot easier for people to go to or it's also
a massive it's also a massive tour of like forty dates.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I know. I'm just saying, like, maybe you could hit
it like in not Orlando, dead of summer. Perhaps we
get the middle or the beginning or the end, not
the middle.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Yeah, can we not do July just like, let's not
do July just once.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Oh that's why it's in November the sure here.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Hey that's great.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Yeah, it only took them like forty years to figure
it out.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yeah, brilliant. All right, So let's let us get into
a little bit of theme park news, because there is
there's a number of things happening out at the parks
right now as we are in a what is traditionally
a very busy season at the parks, but we always
are looking ahead, planning ahead for the fall in the winter.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Well, we should say that all three of us are
in different locations. James is still chained to the outside
of launch.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Bay to get that straight.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Trying to make sure that launch Bay remains intact. It's
part of Walt's legacy.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Yeah, not true.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
And another member of the show is currently chained to
Ripride Rocket Man.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I am gonna miss that ride. Fritz and I went
out there before they ever opened that thing. Try to
get on the test rum. They wouldn't let us on.
Now they're taking it away. He's crazy.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
You and your theme park shorts are protesting.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Had special shorts that we bought for Ripride Rocket that
had zippered pockets.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
And then when they took you took that away from
you to where you had to put everything in a locker,
you were just mad as a horn.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
So mad, I mean, I'm not special shorts for this,
and now you're gonna tell me I gotta put stuff
in the locker. My shorts have zippers, sir, nothing's going anywhere.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, but they didn't trust that, like once you like
got on the ride, you were gonna un zip them.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
That's because of stupid people. People tossing coins. People are idiots.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Do you still have those shorts?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
I do, but they definitely not hit.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
If you ever worked MCP underneath that roller coaster, you know,
stuff would just rain down on you all day.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Yeah, I believe it. I mean that's a lot of
twists and turns and all sorts of things on that coaster.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
So at the point if people are working under it,
you don't want them, like, you know, you don't want
change raining down on people like it's nope.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yeah, I don't disagree with you. You're not wrong, but
I will miss that ride that was That was a
fun ride. I know what it has problematic and it
had issues, but man, that was a fun ride.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Well, if you want to go ride it. It closes
August eighteenth.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
We don't have long next week, correct, not long.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
At all, permanently closed. We still don't know what it
will be replacing it, but there's a lot of land
being cleared for what's going to replace it.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Yeah, that thing a good section of the area there.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Well, it's and like the new construction is like taking
up like right up into like the walkway by the
hard Rock. Oh wow, Like there's construction walls on the
grass by like where you could like walk the lagoon.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
You think they're gonna pop another big coaster there? Yes, okay,
all right, I'm all for it.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
I mean, I wonder if they're gonna like that sounds
stage nineteen right there where the Blue Man Group used
to be, and there's nothing in there currently, right, it's
just an empty sound stage if I'm if I'm rememering correctly,
that's all.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Blue Man Group is getting their own theater at the
Ferris Wheel.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Yeah, icon Orlando Icon Park.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Well, the speculation is that it's going to be a
drifting roller coaster, which is what they're building Universales to
do is Hollywood, which is themed to the Fast and Nefurious.
At the same time, they are also filing permits for
or the fire station that is next to Jimmy.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Fallon Ghostbusters fire Station.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
So will it be a Ghostbuster's themed ride, will be
a fast and Furious theme dride or like two separate things.
One is Fast and Furious, one is Ghostbusters, like a
meet and greet Ghostbusters experience.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Scott, I've been hearing rumors about possibly a back to
the Future roller coaster.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Is this a potential for that?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
So that is really a thing that's gonna so you
know how they're building the Universal in the United Kingdom, Yes,
we like we've talked about it a little bit on
the show. I think it was one of the shows
that you weren't here, like they actually had like renderings.
It was one of your when you were gone on
one of your church this is when you were in Japan,
like renderings came out and it looks like that looks
(06:47):
like a hill valley, roller coaster over there. That park
seems like it's again speculation. We don't know much. That
looks like a lot of like legacy IP stuff, But
there is so much juice for a lot of those
old attractions in IPS that say they do put Fast
(07:10):
and Furious on this drifting roller coaster, which is what
a lot of people are thinking. Do you really want
to have two Fast and Furious rides?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Oh no, the other one they nuke from orbit. They
just get rid of that thing.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
But if you do that, do you put some kind
of a back to the future thing in there?
Speaker 4 (07:29):
I see to me, if I'm walking up to Universal
and you're going to see the roller coaster kind of
like you did with a rip rocket, I would much
rather see the DeLorean flying around those tracks. Then, you know,
if you're gonna give me something like eye candy as
I'm walking up to the park, I want the Delaurian.
I don't want, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Address cars. It's very weird. It's very interesting because it's
like they're both pretty popular intellectual properties. We're up to
eleven Fast and Furious movies. There's one more. They're probably
gonna they're gonna use to steal the franchise, it makes
a ton of money, like a lot of them make
(08:10):
I know the last two didn't, but this was almost
like a guaranteed eight nine, one hundred million dollar thing.
But back in the Future is a thirty year old,
forty year old property that still generates a lot of money.
So it's it's kind of what you're weighing your options there.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Yeah, that's true, wonder and really, uh, until the I
guess the series is wrapped up, history won't really judge
those movies until it's had time to like ferment a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
And the thing is like, franchises don't die now, they
just don't.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
They just keep coming back. Yeah, I mean they don't stop.
How many have You just got another reboot of Final Destination,
which was quite good, but yeah, I mean they've been
doing those movies.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
For years, Like nothing ever goes away, Like we had
eight exaggerating Resident movies, then that ended, then they rebooted it.
Only one person on this planet liked it, and now
that's getting rebooted again, so nothing goes away forever.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Look, it's Scream. Scream just keeps They keep screaming.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Scream keeps doing it since what is it two thousand
and eight. We've had three different iterations of a Superman franchise. Yeah,
I keep trying, Yeah exactly, they always keep trying.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Yeah, Yeah, franchises just go where we go, and they go,
We're on our fourth Spider Man in twenty five years.
That's pretty spider there's a lot of Spider Man right there.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Four Miles Rellish, that's it. He's gotten two movies.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Yeah. Yeah, you had to twist my arm to watch
that thing, but it was good. Yeah, and I'm not
denying any of that. But Miles to me and Peter
Parker kind of can run parallel totally.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah, And that's I mean that did that literally the
crux of the movie.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Yeah, But I mean, like in the Greater MCU, if
they brought in Miles Morales, it doesn't mean that Peter
Parker has to go with correct So Jimmy, if you
had your brothers, we're going back to the future there. Yeah, yeah, Scott,
because for what from what you know what Scott just explained,
I totally get what if you want to do Fast
(10:22):
and Furious because it is more relevant and more like
current and you do have another film coming out, but
after that film, it wraps up and then they both
kind of get on more even ground as far as
I mean, I guess the amount of time, but the
nostalgia for our generation for Back to the Future, it's
just through the roof.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Yeah. Gen X just loves to spend money and stuff
like that from back in the day. They are just
happy to drop money on things.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I mean, my thing is like, can we do like
a Wicked drifting roller coaster? I mean, I got Wicked
for we got Wicked for good coming out.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I feel like that's a dark ride. I feel like
Wicked is more of a dark ride than we already
had that ride.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
All right, how about this we can do like I
don't know, like it maybe like a Jurassic Park something.
Maybe like Chris Pratt's like, no, don't go do this,
I've never done that before.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
What's your pick for the code? What's your pick for
that spot is it? Is it a uh Fast and
the Furious b Back to the Future or c ghost.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
I want Ghostbusters because it fits the area of the park.
It's part of New York.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
I was hoping that the Ghostbusters there would be another
Ghostbuster's attraction. Yeah, there in front of the library, right
next to you.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Know with the Firehouse, I would I would like it
to be Ghostbusters in the Q starts in the fire station.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
So do they just blast that Rape Park or Junior
Song twenty four to seven at all times for that attraction?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yes, Well it.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Was a show, so I mean, you know in the
sense that like Boyne Identity is a show, so it
would only play like you know, but it six ten
times a day or something.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Yeah, I feel like in the queue they just keep
it playing, just over and over again.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Honestly, what you could what what conceivably could happen, is
that Ripride Rocket goes and Minions really claims that front
area of the park. It's got two rides, it's got
the whole restaurant, Minions Cafe, like that is their corner.
So like removing the entrance to Ripride Rocket from where
(12:24):
it is really makes sense. Move that entrance a little
bit further down. Yeah, so it doesn't like co mingle.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Yeah, they really did just shoehorn in the entrance for
Rip Rocket.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Oh totally. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
And it was just like it's like, in a sense,
because of this proximity to have an MCP, it's so
in the way I.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Mean, yeah, it does kind of fit because of like
music and music. But yeah, it's very much like we
had this much room, we're gonna put a roller coaster
in there.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Man, I love that ride. It was a great ride.
You got to pick your music so fun.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
The crazy thing is is like Universal has done this
twice now where they've seen we have this narrow track
of land, we're gonna pop a roller coaster. They didn't
really have to get rid of anything for Velocit coaster.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
The only thing they got rid of was the Triceratops encounter.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
They they build roller coasters like I load my dishwashers.
They find a way to fit it in there.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
The Triceratops thing has been gone for years too. Yeah,
it's not like it was they took it away. It
was just it's been gone. Yeah, they finally developed the land.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
That's what I mean. They're like it was the only
thing that like got replaced by the roller coaster.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yeah. Well, if you can get out and ride a
rip ride rocket, if it has nostalgia for you, do
it's going.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I saw on Twitter that one patron wrote it and
did every song nice.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
You can't do the hidden song. You can't do every
hidden song there was like one hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
He tried to do as many of the hidden songs
as he could.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
I could only get that thing to work like fifty
percent of the time.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Well you gotta if you did get quicker on the.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Trigger, if it didn't work, what happened?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
It would just it would just jam with whatever song
you whatever.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, you would get like a default song because you
had to hold down like the button, but the button
didn't always react to your touch.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
And you're like, come on, yeah, you just get stuck
with Slaine Deon.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Hey, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
I don't really know what I don't I don't know
what the default was.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
But it was the song that she did for Deadpool two.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
That's a good one. That is a good one. Uh
any other any other universal news that we should uh
we should tackle while we're talking about uh so particular park.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yes, that coke.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Cup that I sent you. They have a new annual
past coke cup and it looks awesome. Dope, But if
it's plastic, I'm not really interested. But if it's a
metal cup.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
No, they're plastic. They're all plastic. Yeah, the refillable cups
like that are all plastic?
Speaker 4 (14:53):
All right, That's that was gonna be my question.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I mean that the thing is those cups are great deals.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Well yea, it's eighty nine and you drink all day.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
You drink all day and then like if when you
go back you can pay to have the ability to refill.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Yeah, it's a couple of bucks. I think it's like
seven bucks or something like that, or.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
You can just go get water from the freestyle machines.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
M hm.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Now it's just the artwork on that that new one.
It's like black and white and it's got a metallic
look to the artwork. So that's what made me. It
was like, oh, it's just I thought it was like
a metal Uh. I was hoping it was a metal
drink cup that was like engraved, because I was like,
this artwork is fantastic with like the Jaws and Staypuff
and yes we see.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Your senior Sea World one.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Nice first breaker, Yes the Vanity Grave.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
So you know what I got? You know what about
this with boys Sea World bucks that they gave me
for being an annual pass holder. No better perks than SeaWorld.
I'll just I'll tell that of any theme park, you
don't get any better Perks and SeaWorld.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
When are you going back?
Speaker 3 (15:53):
I don't know. I don't have a pass right now expiring.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
So the that cup is only available during the passholder nights?
Speaker 4 (16:03):
What does that mean exactly? So I saw that.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
They do like they do like a special few nightsr
at Universal. You have to get a reservation for it.
It is this weekend. So if you're hearing the show
on Monday, sorry, sorry, and the event is already a capacity.
There's no standby line. The thing is they send you
(16:27):
like notice about this, like weeks in advance. But it's
like you get there's like discounts on stuff you're passholder,
like fifty percent on Wizarding personalization services. Uh, you know,
discounts on food. There's discounts on cabanas, all sorts of stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Yeah, they try and hook you up. They do their best.
I mean it's it's a it's a pretty good it's
a pretty good deal for their passholders. It is nice
to see these companies really trying to appear use their
pass holders. Even Disney, we were talking I don't want
to get off the Universal kick, but since we're talking
about pass holders, even Disney is offering perks for their
passolders because they're apparently trying to attract them again, which
(17:10):
they're not always. It doesn't always seem like they've always
shot for passolders, right, So if you sign up for
one of their passes, you can get a free Disney
gift card when you sign up. So in Credit Pass
one hundred and fifty bucks, that's the top pass, Sorcerer Pass,
you can get one hundred dollars, Pirate Pass fifty bucks
and twenty five dollars gift card for a Pixie Dust pass.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
So is that for new pass holders only or is
it for renewals as well?
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Oh, that's a good question. If it counts for renewals,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Well, when you go buy an Incredit pass, can you ask.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Yes, Yeah, the new passolders receive a Disney gift card
if you want to know the price of the passes
in case you haven't looked lately, because I was surprised
because it's more than I realized. And Credit Pass is
fifteen forty nine before taxes. Sorcure is one thy seventy
nine Pirate Pass. My old pass, which I have stated
many times, I think we used to pay about three
(18:08):
hundred bucks for is now eight hundred and twenty nine
dollars before tax. And then the Pixie Dust pass is
weekdays only and more blackouts, and it's for sixty nine.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Well, just remember when you eventually pay us back for
the incredit passes that we bought you, we will only
We're only expecting what we paid, not what the current
rate is.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Thank you, Thank you for that. The passes I never
used or never saw.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Kind universal though they have special food during these passholder
appreciation days. Oh yes, yes, can I read one of
the items that one of one member of the show
will want to eat seventeen of?
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Yeah, because in the office today we were talking about
some some of the great theme park food they have
now because all the theme parks have really up their game.
So let's hear it.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Cookie butter donut at Voodoo Donut, I mean yes, sign
me up. Cookie butter velvet filling, dipped in vanilla icing,
topped with crushed cookies.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Yeah, I'm in. Let's go right now.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Krispy Kreme is coming out with special addition Harry Potter
cut Harry Harry Potter, and there's the three houses and
a sorting hat.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
But I did see in the.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Picture four houses, four houses. Whatever I did see in
the picture. They had glazed donuts in the box with it,
and I'm wondering if they're glazed with butter beer.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
That's a fair thing.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
They've done that before.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Who's who's making the icy? Who's doing the icy? That's
the Harry Potter one. I think. I don't think it's
official though. You guys didn't see that somebody's doing an
icy with uh that is basically butter beer, but it
and they have it in the Harry Potter font but
they just don't say Harry Potter. It's everything but the
words Harry Potter. As far as this icy is, how
(19:58):
much have you pre purchased of the icy? I have
not gotten any yet, but I need to figure it out.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
He's being delivered on Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Jimmy, remember in in Shinodzilla, the trucks they used to
ship the coagulant, the refrigerated trucks. It's just one of
those arrives at his house.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Through the window.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Yeah, he'll just lay there and then he'll be frozen.
My Godzilla and.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I thought this was in our chat, but maybe it
was my chat with Fritz that I learned about this icy.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Oh, we get it. You like Fritz better than us.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
He's the way he gives me breaking news offen and
it might have been this icy. I don't know, you
know how there it is. It was with Fritz. Here
we go. It is the Harry Potter butter Scotch icy,
which is one hundred percent. Yeah, you can't really see
that in the stream. One hundred percent, just to knock
off of Harry Potter. And it's uh, it's limited time.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Is it like Wizard Wizard juice?
Speaker 3 (20:59):
It's it has rich caramel drizzle and a foam on top.
So Regal Cinemas you can.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Get this at Let me say this, I'm going to
verify this because it sounds like like a Nigerian print
sent you this email.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
All right, back to Universal though very quickly. Also, they're
going to be doing Volcano Bay nights.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Oh that's a great time because you get to enjoy
the park without the sunburn or the scorching temperatures.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
And it's a ticketed event so it's not as crowded.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Right.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Yeah, but the ghost clown from Scooby Doo will be
there along with Mystery inc.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Nice does it say what the ticket price is running
for that, it's usually the same as a normal ticket
for those like special events, which I kind of balk
actually only get like four or five hours, but you
know it is four or five hours, and you kind
of have to place to yourself.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Ninety nine dollars per person. Pass holders get a ten
to fifteen percent discount. Okay, all right, but it's a
select nights through September and October.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Nice. Good, that's a that's a fun thing to go
out to a water park at night.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Oh my god, that so much fun.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
We've done it at Aquatica a few times. Like the radio
station used to room what would be out there fairly
offen for Aquatica nights.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Oh those were great.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Yeah, we just tag along come out. More fun it was.
You had to park to yourself.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
But I got a Dickerman pass coming to SeaWorld Embush Gardens.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Oh what what do we have here?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Sixteen months of park admission for the price of a
one day ticket.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Geez, really yep, you buy a single day it's either
park right, Yes, this is the fun card for one
You get everything.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
You get everything for the whole year, first sixteen months.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
So if you're a family of four. You buy one
regular annual pass to get your parking covered, and you
buy three more of this thing and you're good, correct
to go. Yep, just got to get that parking because
parking board. That adds up. And how are you paying
thirty bucks to park every time you go. It's you're
gonna you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Feel that, Absolutely you will.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
But yeah, that's a smart play. You get one with
the parking, the rest get the lower tier price. That's
a good deal. Sea World's always fering them deals man.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
And as you just talked about, you got a gift
card from them and used it to buy thirst Breaker.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Yeah, I mean, would they put SeaWorld Bucks when you're
an annual pass holder? They just give you Sea Road Bucks.
Sometimes it's like, hey, you got you know, thirty dollars
in Sea World Bucks to spend before the end of
the month. So he's going stuff.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Does SeaWorld Bucks look.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Like they're just they're digital, they're in your card, you're in.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Oh, they're not like they don't have a sea they're not.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
They're not the Disney dollars or like the Harry Potter
dollars you can get at the Greenot Bank.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Well, I'm just thinking, like Shimu would be on like
the one hundred dollars like buck, and then like a
penguin would be on like the twenty dollars.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Wouldn't you put clams on there so you see like
it's one hundred claim.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
I mean, yeah, it's another nautical invention right there.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Man t would be on the one dollar.
Speaker 3 (24:06):

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Hey thereon, Welcome to the Theme Park Podcast. Dickerman. Here,
there is Jimmy D. Good evening, gentlemen, and Scott Harris.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Hi, Hello, what's going on? What's new? What's up?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Are we getting closer to it not being so brutally
hot outside that we can actually go to theme parks again?
I mean I would like like when we get to
the first night of haolloween Hornites, which isn't that far
away for it not to be one hundred and seventy
five degrees outside?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Are we approaching that?
Speaker 4 (00:46):
No, Dickerman, No, we are approaching that level Marrio Brothers
where the sun tries to kill you.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Yeah. God, yeah, tough time to go to theme parks
right now. It is just brutal outside, Scott. That is
something that they should have at the Marrio World.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
There's just a floating heat ball that just follows.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Yes, it's already there, like during the summer months. They
should have that angry sun that like swoops down and
tries to burn you up in the sand, you.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Know how, Like a lot of like outdoor queues they
have like fans strategically placed. They should just put heaters
there instead, and you're blasted with heat?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Why because we can't. That's why the.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Thing is like when I went to I went to
I went to Universal like two or three weeks ago.
When I want to go buy a cinnabon because I'm
I'm an adult, you're brave man and uh and I
they have you know those giant like a tower air
conditioner blower things. They have those like strategically around places
(01:55):
as like shade spots.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Yeah, like you look like you're about to go down,
we pop you in front of one of these things.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
It makes me things like how did I do like
warp tour in the dead of summer?
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah? I arp always have to come into deada Center,
true a warp turn as fest too as fest same
thing debta summer deada summer.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Well because because kids are out of school, it's a
lot easier for people to go to or it's also
a massive it's also a massive tour of like forty dates.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I know. I'm just saying, like, maybe you could hit
it like in not Orlando, dead of summer. Perhaps we
get the middle or the beginning or the end, not
the middle.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Yeah, can we not do July just like, let's not
do July just once.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Oh that's why it's in November the sure here.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Hey that's great.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Yeah, it only took them like forty years to figure
it out.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yeah, brilliant. All right, So let's let us get into
a little bit of theme park news, because there is
there's a number of things happening out at the parks
right now as we are in a what is traditionally
a very busy season at the parks, but we always
are looking ahead, planning ahead for the fall in the winter.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Well, we should say that all three of us are
in different locations. James is still chained to the outside
of launch.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Bay to get that straight.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Trying to make sure that launch Bay remains intact. It's
part of Walt's legacy.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Yeah, not true.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
And another member of the show is currently chained to
Ripride Rocket Man.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I am gonna miss that ride. Fritz and I went
out there before they ever opened that thing. Try to
get on the test rum. They wouldn't let us on.
Now they're taking it away. He's crazy.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
You and your theme park shorts are protesting.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Had special shorts that we bought for Ripride Rocket that
had zippered pockets.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
And then when they took you took that away from
you to where you had to put everything in a locker,
you were just mad as a horn.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
So mad, I mean, I'm not special shorts for this,
and now you're gonna tell me I gotta put stuff
in the locker. My shorts have zippers, sir, nothing's going anywhere.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, but they didn't trust that, like once you like
got on the ride, you were gonna un zip them.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
That's because of stupid people. People tossing coins. People are idiots.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Do you still have those shorts?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
I do, but they definitely not hit.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
If you ever worked MCP underneath that roller coaster, you know,
stuff would just rain down on you all day.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Yeah, I believe it. I mean that's a lot of
twists and turns and all sorts of things on that coaster.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
So at the point if people are working under it,
you don't want them, like, you know, you don't want
change raining down on people like it's nope.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yeah, I don't disagree with you. You're not wrong, but
I will miss that ride that was That was a
fun ride. I know what it has problematic and it
had issues, but man, that was a fun ride.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Well, if you want to go ride it. It closes
August eighteenth.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
We don't have long next week, correct, not long.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
At all, permanently closed. We still don't know what it
will be replacing it, but there's a lot of land
being cleared for what's going to replace it.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Yeah, that thing a good section of the area there.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Well, it's and like the new construction is like taking
up like right up into like the walkway by the
hard Rock. Oh wow, Like there's construction walls on the
grass by like where you could like walk the lagoon.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
You think they're gonna pop another big coaster there? Yes, okay,
all right, I'm all for it.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
I mean, I wonder if they're gonna like that sounds
stage nineteen right there where the Blue Man Group used
to be, and there's nothing in there currently, right, it's
just an empty sound stage if I'm if I'm rememering correctly,
that's all.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Blue Man Group is getting their own theater at the
Ferris Wheel.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Yeah, icon Orlando Icon Park.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Well, the speculation is that it's going to be a
drifting roller coaster, which is what they're building Universales to
do is Hollywood, which is themed to the Fast and Nefurious.
At the same time, they are also filing permits for
or the fire station that is next to Jimmy.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Fallon Ghostbusters fire Station.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
So will it be a Ghostbuster's themed ride, will be
a fast and Furious theme dride or like two separate things.
One is Fast and Furious, one is Ghostbusters, like a
meet and greet Ghostbusters experience.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Scott, I've been hearing rumors about possibly a back to
the Future roller coaster.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Is this a potential for that?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
So that is really a thing that's gonna so you
know how they're building the Universal in the United Kingdom, Yes,
we like we've talked about it a little bit on
the show. I think it was one of the shows
that you weren't here, like they actually had like renderings.
It was one of your when you were gone on
one of your church this is when you were in Japan,
like renderings came out and it looks like that looks
(06:47):
like a hill valley, roller coaster over there. That park
seems like it's again speculation. We don't know much. That
looks like a lot of like legacy IP stuff, But
there is so much juice for a lot of those
old attractions in IPS that say they do put Fast
(07:10):
and Furious on this drifting roller coaster, which is what
a lot of people are thinking. Do you really want
to have two Fast and Furious rides?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Oh no, the other one they nuke from orbit. They
just get rid of that thing.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
But if you do that, do you put some kind
of a back to the future thing in there?
Speaker 4 (07:29):
I see to me, if I'm walking up to Universal
and you're going to see the roller coaster kind of
like you did with a rip rocket, I would much
rather see the DeLorean flying around those tracks. Then, you know,
if you're gonna give me something like eye candy as
I'm walking up to the park, I want the Delaurian.
I don't want, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Address cars. It's very weird. It's very interesting because it's
like they're both pretty popular intellectual properties. We're up to
eleven Fast and Furious movies. There's one more. They're probably
gonna they're gonna use to steal the franchise, it makes
a ton of money, like a lot of them make
(08:10):
I know the last two didn't, but this was almost
like a guaranteed eight nine, one hundred million dollar thing.
But back in the Future is a thirty year old,
forty year old property that still generates a lot of money.
So it's it's kind of what you're weighing your options there.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Yeah, that's true, wonder and really, uh, until the I
guess the series is wrapped up, history won't really judge
those movies until it's had time to like ferment a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
And the thing is like, franchises don't die now, they
just don't.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
They just keep coming back. Yeah, I mean they don't stop.
How many have You just got another reboot of Final Destination,
which was quite good, but yeah, I mean they've been
doing those movies.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
For years, Like nothing ever goes away, Like we had
eight exaggerating Resident movies, then that ended, then they rebooted it.
Only one person on this planet liked it, and now
that's getting rebooted again, so nothing goes away forever.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Look, it's Scream. Scream just keeps They keep screaming.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Scream keeps doing it since what is it two thousand
and eight. We've had three different iterations of a Superman franchise. Yeah,
I keep trying, Yeah exactly, they always keep trying.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Yeah, Yeah, franchises just go where we go, and they go,
We're on our fourth Spider Man in twenty five years.
That's pretty spider there's a lot of Spider Man right there.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Four Miles Rellish, that's it. He's gotten two movies.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Yeah. Yeah, you had to twist my arm to watch
that thing, but it was good. Yeah, and I'm not
denying any of that. But Miles to me and Peter
Parker kind of can run parallel totally.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah, And that's I mean that did that literally the
crux of the movie.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Yeah, But I mean, like in the Greater MCU, if
they brought in Miles Morales, it doesn't mean that Peter
Parker has to go with correct So Jimmy, if you
had your brothers, we're going back to the future there. Yeah, yeah, Scott,
because for what from what you know what Scott just explained,
I totally get what if you want to do Fast
(10:22):
and Furious because it is more relevant and more like
current and you do have another film coming out, but
after that film, it wraps up and then they both
kind of get on more even ground as far as
I mean, I guess the amount of time, but the
nostalgia for our generation for Back to the Future, it's
just through the roof.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Yeah. Gen X just loves to spend money and stuff
like that from back in the day. They are just
happy to drop money on things.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I mean, my thing is like, can we do like
a Wicked drifting roller coaster? I mean, I got Wicked
for we got Wicked for good coming out.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I feel like that's a dark ride. I feel like
Wicked is more of a dark ride than we already
had that ride.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
All right, how about this we can do like I
don't know, like it maybe like a Jurassic Park something.
Maybe like Chris Pratt's like, no, don't go do this,
I've never done that before.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
What's your pick for the code? What's your pick for
that spot is it? Is it a uh Fast and
the Furious b Back to the Future or c ghost.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
I want Ghostbusters because it fits the area of the park.
It's part of New York.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
I was hoping that the Ghostbusters there would be another
Ghostbuster's attraction. Yeah, there in front of the library, right
next to you.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Know with the Firehouse, I would I would like it
to be Ghostbusters in the Q starts in the fire station.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
So do they just blast that Rape Park or Junior
Song twenty four to seven at all times for that attraction?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yes, Well it.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Was a show, so I mean, you know in the
sense that like Boyne Identity is a show, so it
would only play like you know, but it six ten
times a day or something.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Yeah, I feel like in the queue they just keep
it playing, just over and over again.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Honestly, what you could what what conceivably could happen, is
that Ripride Rocket goes and Minions really claims that front
area of the park. It's got two rides, it's got
the whole restaurant, Minions Cafe, like that is their corner.
So like removing the entrance to Ripride Rocket from where
(12:24):
it is really makes sense. Move that entrance a little
bit further down. Yeah, so it doesn't like co mingle.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Yeah, they really did just shoehorn in the entrance for
Rip Rocket.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Oh totally. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
And it was just like it's like, in a sense,
because of this proximity to have an MCP, it's so
in the way I.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Mean, yeah, it does kind of fit because of like
music and music. But yeah, it's very much like we
had this much room, we're gonna put a roller coaster
in there.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Man, I love that ride. It was a great ride.
You got to pick your music so fun.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
The crazy thing is is like Universal has done this
twice now where they've seen we have this narrow track
of land, we're gonna pop a roller coaster. They didn't
really have to get rid of anything for Velocit coaster.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
The only thing they got rid of was the Triceratops encounter.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
They they build roller coasters like I load my dishwashers.
They find a way to fit it in there.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
The Triceratops thing has been gone for years too. Yeah,
it's not like it was they took it away. It
was just it's been gone. Yeah, they finally developed the land.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
That's what I mean. They're like it was the only
thing that like got replaced by the roller coaster.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yeah. Well, if you can get out and ride a
rip ride rocket, if it has nostalgia for you, do
it's going.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I saw on Twitter that one patron wrote it and
did every song nice.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
You can't do the hidden song. You can't do every
hidden song there was like one hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
He tried to do as many of the hidden songs
as he could.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
I could only get that thing to work like fifty
percent of the time.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Well you gotta if you did get quicker on the.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Trigger, if it didn't work, what happened?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
It would just it would just jam with whatever song
you whatever.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, you would get like a default song because you
had to hold down like the button, but the button
didn't always react to your touch.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
And you're like, come on, yeah, you just get stuck
with Slaine Deon.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Hey, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
I don't really know what I don't I don't know
what the default was.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
But it was the song that she did for Deadpool two.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
That's a good one. That is a good one. Uh
any other any other universal news that we should uh
we should tackle while we're talking about uh so particular park.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yes, that coke.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Cup that I sent you. They have a new annual
past coke cup and it looks awesome. Dope, But if
it's plastic, I'm not really interested. But if it's a
metal cup.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
No, they're plastic. They're all plastic. Yeah, the refillable cups
like that are all plastic?
Speaker 4 (14:53):
All right, That's that was gonna be my question.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I mean that the thing is those cups are great deals.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Well yea, it's eighty nine and you drink all day.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
You drink all day and then like if when you
go back you can pay to have the ability to refill.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Yeah, it's a couple of bucks. I think it's like
seven bucks or something like that, or.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
You can just go get water from the freestyle machines.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
M hm.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Now it's just the artwork on that that new one.
It's like black and white and it's got a metallic
look to the artwork. So that's what made me. It
was like, oh, it's just I thought it was like
a metal Uh. I was hoping it was a metal
drink cup that was like engraved, because I was like,
this artwork is fantastic with like the Jaws and Staypuff
and yes we see.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Your senior Sea World one.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Nice first breaker, Yes the Vanity Grave.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
So you know what I got? You know what about
this with boys Sea World bucks that they gave me
for being an annual pass holder. No better perks than SeaWorld.
I'll just I'll tell that of any theme park, you
don't get any better Perks and SeaWorld.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
When are you going back?
Speaker 3 (15:53):
I don't know. I don't have a pass right now expiring.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
So the that cup is only available during the passholder nights?
Speaker 4 (16:03):
What does that mean exactly? So I saw that.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
They do like they do like a special few nightsr
at Universal. You have to get a reservation for it.
It is this weekend. So if you're hearing the show
on Monday, sorry, sorry, and the event is already a capacity.
There's no standby line. The thing is they send you
(16:27):
like notice about this, like weeks in advance. But it's
like you get there's like discounts on stuff you're passholder,
like fifty percent on Wizarding personalization services. Uh, you know,
discounts on food. There's discounts on cabanas, all sorts of stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Yeah, they try and hook you up. They do their best.
I mean it's it's a it's a pretty good it's
a pretty good deal for their passholders. It is nice
to see these companies really trying to appear use their
pass holders. Even Disney, we were talking I don't want
to get off the Universal kick, but since we're talking
about pass holders, even Disney is offering perks for their
passolders because they're apparently trying to attract them again, which
(17:10):
they're not always. It doesn't always seem like they've always
shot for passolders, right, So if you sign up for
one of their passes, you can get a free Disney
gift card when you sign up. So in Credit Pass
one hundred and fifty bucks, that's the top pass, Sorcerer Pass,
you can get one hundred dollars, Pirate Pass fifty bucks
and twenty five dollars gift card for a Pixie Dust pass.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
So is that for new pass holders only or is
it for renewals as well?
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Oh, that's a good question. If it counts for renewals,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Well, when you go buy an Incredit pass, can you ask.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Yes, Yeah, the new passolders receive a Disney gift card
if you want to know the price of the passes
in case you haven't looked lately, because I was surprised
because it's more than I realized. And Credit Pass is
fifteen forty nine before taxes. Sorcure is one thy seventy
nine Pirate Pass. My old pass, which I have stated
many times, I think we used to pay about three
(18:08):
hundred bucks for is now eight hundred and twenty nine
dollars before tax. And then the Pixie Dust pass is
weekdays only and more blackouts, and it's for sixty nine.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Well, just remember when you eventually pay us back for
the incredit passes that we bought you, we will only
We're only expecting what we paid, not what the current
rate is.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Thank you, Thank you for that. The passes I never
used or never saw.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Kind universal though they have special food during these passholder
appreciation days. Oh yes, yes, can I read one of
the items that one of one member of the show
will want to eat seventeen of?
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Yeah, because in the office today we were talking about
some some of the great theme park food they have
now because all the theme parks have really up their game.
So let's hear it.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Cookie butter donut at Voodoo Donut, I mean yes, sign
me up. Cookie butter velvet filling, dipped in vanilla icing,
topped with crushed cookies.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Yeah, I'm in. Let's go right now.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Krispy Kreme is coming out with special addition Harry Potter
cut Harry Harry Potter, and there's the three houses and
a sorting hat.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
But I did see in the.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Picture four houses, four houses. Whatever I did see in
the picture. They had glazed donuts in the box with it,
and I'm wondering if they're glazed with butter beer.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
That's a fair thing.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
They've done that before.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Who's who's making the icy? Who's doing the icy? That's
the Harry Potter one. I think. I don't think it's
official though. You guys didn't see that somebody's doing an
icy with uh that is basically butter beer, but it
and they have it in the Harry Potter font but
they just don't say Harry Potter. It's everything but the
words Harry Potter. As far as this icy is, how
(19:58):
much have you pre purchased of the icy? I have
not gotten any yet, but I need to figure it out.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
He's being delivered on Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Jimmy, remember in in Shinodzilla, the trucks they used to
ship the coagulant, the refrigerated trucks. It's just one of
those arrives at his house.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Through the window.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Yeah, he'll just lay there and then he'll be frozen.
My Godzilla and.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I thought this was in our chat, but maybe it
was my chat with Fritz that I learned about this icy.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Oh, we get it. You like Fritz better than us.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
He's the way he gives me breaking news offen and
it might have been this icy. I don't know, you
know how there it is. It was with Fritz. Here
we go. It is the Harry Potter butter Scotch icy,
which is one hundred percent. Yeah, you can't really see
that in the stream. One hundred percent, just to knock
off of Harry Potter. And it's uh, it's limited time.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Is it like Wizard Wizard juice?
Speaker 3 (20:59):
It's it has rich caramel drizzle and a foam on top.
So Regal Cinemas you can.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Get this at Let me say this, I'm going to
verify this because it sounds like like a Nigerian print
sent you this email.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
All right, back to Universal though very quickly. Also, they're
going to be doing Volcano Bay nights.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Oh that's a great time because you get to enjoy
the park without the sunburn or the scorching temperatures.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
And it's a ticketed event so it's not as crowded.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Right.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Yeah, but the ghost clown from Scooby Doo will be
there along with Mystery inc.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Nice does it say what the ticket price is running
for that, it's usually the same as a normal ticket
for those like special events, which I kind of balk
actually only get like four or five hours, but you
know it is four or five hours, and you kind
of have to place to yourself.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Ninety nine dollars per person. Pass holders get a ten
to fifteen percent discount. Okay, all right, but it's a
select nights through September and October.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Nice. Good, that's a that's a fun thing to go
out to a water park at night.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Oh my god, that so much fun.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
We've done it at Aquatica a few times. Like the radio
station used to room what would be out there fairly
offen for Aquatica nights.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Oh those were great.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Yeah, we just tag along come out. More fun it was.
You had to park to yourself.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
But I got a Dickerman pass coming to SeaWorld Embush Gardens.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Oh what what do we have here?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Sixteen months of park admission for the price of a
one day ticket.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Geez, really yep, you buy a single day it's either
park right, Yes, this is the fun card for one
You get everything.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
You get everything for the whole year, first sixteen months.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
So if you're a family of four. You buy one
regular annual pass to get your parking covered, and you
buy three more of this thing and you're good, correct
to go. Yep, just got to get that parking because
parking board. That adds up. And how are you paying
thirty bucks to park every time you go. It's you're
gonna you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Feel that, Absolutely you will.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
But yeah, that's a smart play. You get one with
the parking, the rest get the lower tier price. That's
a good deal. Sea World's always fering them deals man.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
And as you just talked about, you got a gift
card from them and used it to buy thirst Breaker.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Yeah, I mean, would they put SeaWorld Bucks when you're
an annual pass holder? They just give you Sea Road Bucks.
Sometimes it's like, hey, you got you know, thirty dollars
in Sea World Bucks to spend before the end of
the month. So he's going stuff.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Does SeaWorld Bucks look.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Like they're just they're digital, they're in your card, you're in.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Oh, they're not like they don't have a sea they're not.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
They're not the Disney dollars or like the Harry Potter
dollars you can get at the Greenot Bank.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Well, I'm just thinking, like Shimu would be on like
the one hundred dollars like buck, and then like a
penguin would be on like the twenty dollars.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Wouldn't you put clams on there so you see like
it's one hundred claim.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
I mean, yeah, it's another nautical invention right there.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Man t would be on the one dollar.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
