Orlando, Florida. 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 there and welcome to the Theme Park Podcast. Stickerman. Here,

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Happy Spooky season everyone, It's official.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Not no, it's not.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
According to multiple theme parks, it is.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Oh I think he might be right, isn't Isn't Not
So Scary going on sale like tomorrow or something?
Speaker 5 (00:43):
It is very soon, but I don't believe it starts
until August fifteen?
Speaker 4 (00:48):
So this spooky season start until they sell the tickets?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Is that what it is? No Spooky season starts in October?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I'm sorry. Well, according to Disney, it begins August fifteenth,
when the first night of Not So Scary happens and
tickets go on sale. May twenty second.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Oh my gosh, that is next week.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Can you really feel like it's spooky if it's so
hot out?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I mean, when we were at Halloween Horror Nights in
October it was still hot outside.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
He's not yeah, totally wrong.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Well, no, he's not totally wrong, but in any evenings
it at least gets cool. In August, the middle of August,
you know, it's pretty much like the sun is out
all the time.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Also, if it's not spooky season, then why can I
walk into the five and dime at Universal Studios or
All Halos Eve Boutique at Islands of Adventure and by
merchandise for Halloween Horror Nights twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Because they're milking that cash cow.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Never go Alone?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Wow, Okay, well good for them.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
You are going to go alone Universe next week's Yeah,
they're bringing that tagline.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Back, never go along. Yeah, why don't they just call
it buy two tickets.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Halloween Her Night's fifty nine, buy two tickets.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Good point.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Speaking of buying tickets, Scott Harrish, you're going back to
Epic Universe in the coming week. Is there anything specific
your plan to hit, like right away when you get
to the park.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yes, I have to buy a power up band for
my friend James.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Oh, that's right, you do have to buy What about
a Bowser's meatball?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I mean I could get that, but I don't know
if it'll travel well. And I don't know for you. Oh,
I mean maybe I it does look spicy. No, I
was gonna go in and get the power band and
then leave.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
I doubt that I bought ticket especially to walk in,
buy a power banded leave.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
I mean I have done power bands at city.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I have done said things before. I have gone to
a I have gone to theme parks either to buy
a thing or take a picture of a thing, and
then leave.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
As an annual passholder. Though this is you bought a
specific ticket to go to this park.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Well, no, as of recording, the Ministry of Magic Ride
which has been like the vaunted ride there which is
you know, had a virtual queue, had just has a
standby line.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Oh okay, so closing that down soon.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
It was closed for it was closed for a week.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Oh okay.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
I thought it was it was going to be closed
until the end of a May, because we are what
a week away from.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
We are it opens on May twenty second. Well, they
they had announced that this week right now, it was
going to be closed ahead of the opening while they
work on things. The queue has been opened, so if
you wanted to experience that, you can, but maybe they
figured things out. Maybe they want to test tower to
work using a standby line instead of a virtual queue.
(03:58):
They've been cycling through a lot of stuff. I've seen
reports that there's been more and more effects been added
to the Monster's unchained ride, like more haptic things where
like you can feel more effects in your seat.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Okay, so that's cool. Yeah, but what has been the
opinion on the actual ministry of Magic Ride Because I
haven't Most people I know that have gone have not
gotten to ride that ride.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I know somebody that has been on it, and he
purposely won't tell.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Me WHOA that's what's got to be good, then.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah, he is. Basically, I don't want to spoil anything
for you with how good it is, Okay, but I
mean the ride vehicle alone is massive. It takes up
like almost two full lanes of I four.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Oh man, It's like that doesn't sound like it's gonna
be moving very fast.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Though, Well, that's I believe it is.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Well, Scott's gonna find out, you're gonna are you gonna
aim to ride that when you go on?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
If I can, I could go on Monday and it's
back to a virtual queue or it's closed there, it's
it is still a technical preview. There is not a
guarantee that you're able to do certain things.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Well, I would like you to make that your mission.
If it's available to ride that dang ride.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
It could be number two on the priority list.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Number one power is the Powerman. No.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Number one is riding that Boston Dydemics dog around the park.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Oh, I'm not doing that. I want to be able
to go back to this park in June.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Doesn't it have a saddle on it? Just hop on?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
No, I'm not doing that.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
You just gotta go kick it over like they do
in the video.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
No, I'm definitely not doing that. It's a draghead.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
That's when the eyes turn red and then like the
thing comes over its shoulder like Johnny five.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah. No, not when it goes into weapon mode.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
No, you'll just homelander your head.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
No. No, my plan. I want to do the Donkey
Kong Ride, the Mind Heart Ride, which has been you know,
cycling on and off when it's been open lately.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Again, people, when you went last time, that one alluded
to you, right.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
That one alluded yeah, because I think when we were
thinking about it, it was like a two hour wait, and
it was just like, you know, time is of the
essence when when when we were there? But I want
to try some new food stuff. I've heard Pizza Moon
is really good. I've heard there's an ice cream place
that is very good.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Do you have a shopping list for merch?
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Now that you've been this will be your second time,
so now you've kind of got an idea what the merch.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Available is besides a power band for.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
You, besides a power band for me, a power band
for myself? Which one are you getting? Uh?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I'm torn between Yoshi and Toad. I have not decided
yet one of the options Yoshi, Toad, Mario Luigi, Princess Peach,
Donkey Kong.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I'd be a Donkey Kong guy.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
And maybe there's a Bowser one I don't remember. I
think there is a Bowser, yeah, I mean it would
make sense. He does have a ride, yeah, collar browser.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Both sound good.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I don't know. I might buy a hat. There's been
some really cool merch for hats. Maybe I'll just buy
the creature from the Black Lagoon whole outfit. They got like,
you know, a jumper hands gloves or like hands feet
in like the helmet. So I don't know, you wear.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
That around the park afterwards? Are they going to discourage that?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I mean, it's the thing that they sell in the park.
Why couldn't I wear it in the park?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Okay, I mean sometimes they don't like masks.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
No, it's not you saw the picture your face is showing. Okay,
it's just a it's basically a helmet.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Yeah, true.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
And then I go to the makeup place and have
them paint me up, and then I put it on.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
There you go, Yeah, now you spent four hundred and
seventy five dollars and you've got.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
The full the full effect.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
And then I probably should not be walking around outside
of my house without a helmet, so that might be
good for me.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
And then I and then I walk out in the
sun into the two hundred percent humidity, and then and
then it's gone.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
The power up bands.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Your options are Yoshi and it's got a little uh,
you know, Yoshi egg on it. Then you got Daisy
and it's got a Daisy logo on it. Then you
got Princess Peach and it's got her crown. You got
Mario with the m Luigi with the l and then
Toad with the traditional shroom on it.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
So those options, and then there's no Donkey.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Well though there is if you go into the Donkey
Kong section of Super Nintendo Land. They only sell it
back there.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
And then like, uh, like the Mario band has like
it's mostly red and it's got like a little blue
tab like for his overalls with the yellow you know, buttons.
And then it's got the eyes like the Nintendo eyes.
And I don't know how to explain that other than this, say,
it's got black Nintendo eyes. You'll when you see it,
you'll know it. And they honestly look like they come
(08:55):
in like like it was made by Apple. The packaging, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
It's like a like a like a like a swatchwatch
kind of case.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Yeah, elevated packaging here.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Wow, I really dated myself with that reference. I'm not
happy about us watch.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Swatch watches are back, dude. When I was in Europe,
the Swatch stores were everywhere, and if I hadn't just
gotten an Apple watch, I really would have been tempted
to get a swatchwatch because they look great, the new
like the new version.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Oh okay, I know they had I know they had
a Swatch store like the Florida Mall. I think I had.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
No idea to watch was still a thing.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Okay, I'm looking online and I think I do see
a Uh there's a DK and it's got the DK
logo where the green band where like a little green part,
and then there's a Diddy Kong so there's a d
D logo.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah, there's there's some pretty cool Donkey Kong ice cream
that I also kind of want to try.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Oh yeah, sounds good.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
There is fun. His area is like really cool to
check out. It's very much its own. You have to
go through like another portal almost at the back of
Nintendo Land to get there.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
So is it banana flavored?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yes, if it's I like it.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Jimmy's sold.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah, I mean yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
So soft opening at Epic Universe until Thursday and then
Thursdays when they open the twenty second round.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Thursday's the big opening. Closed on the Wednesday before for
like a grand celebration thing, and they just announced later
on in the summer on Peacock there's a three part
documentary about Epic Universe.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
That's cool, all right, Jimmy, You'll never watch it, but
that's fine. Yeah, Well, it's because you want to watch Imagineering,
which he would love. It's like Taylor made for him. Yeah,
I'm not watching it because of you.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Two or behind the Attraction, the show with the rock producing.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
You're only punishing yourself, James. It's a Lauren to watch it.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Well, I think we have.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
And she'll probably want it without you. It's fine, and
maybe she'll watch Harry Potter.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I mean if you also, James, if you want me
to get you a robe from.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Ministry of Magic, yeah, yeah, or one of them new
magic sticks. Get him a new magic stick?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
What a what.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
He's trying to say? Wand yeah?
Speaker 5 (11:28):
That thing, you know, I kind of I kind of
like my uh my backscratcher that I've been using for
a while.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
It's like one hundred and it's like a seventy five
dollars the backscratcher you have.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Yep, the backscratcher.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
It probably was like a twenty dollars back scratcher because
it came in a cocktail. M But I mean I
got that it was on Myikiki beach on my honeymoon,
and that's my my Wand it's still it's dual purpose
because I can cast spells and then get that itch
(12:08):
between my shoulder blades.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
It's great.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
So Epic Universe is not the only thing happening in
theme box. We should probably uh see what else is
going on around the the industry.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
No, no, as I just told as, I just told you.
Next week you can also buy tickets to Mickey's Not
So Scary Halloween Party.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
That you can.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Yes, we're not gonna mention Abu Dhabi. You're looking at
me with puzzled faces.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Disney is Disney has announced potential plans to open up
a park in Abu Dhabi. Oh that they're basically just
licensing and providing creative input to.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Okay, and somebody's backing up a truck full of money
to them, Like.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Here's here, this should covers snow white. Here you go, guys,
you're good, You're you're back in the black man.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
I mean, you gotta have a park there. I mean,
SeaWorld's got a park in Abu Dhabi.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
So here's what I will say, though, if if this happens,
it will probably not be for at least a decade.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
I mean, it's gretty. I came there. Well.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
The reason why I say, the reason why I'm putting
some like caution on this is Universal announced in two
thousand and eight that they were going to do Universal
Students Dubai land, and then in twenty sixteen project was canceled.
(13:37):
Oh okay, So I mean, if it happens cool and
it'sposed to be an all indoor park, I believe.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
He is onto something because I know the original SeaWorld
Abu Dhabi or it might have been actually Dubai. They
were building out like a I don't know, like a peninsula, right.
It was crazy, it was insane whatever they were doing.
They were going to build an island that was in
the shape of a orca, yeah, or like a peninsula.
(14:09):
It was like in the shape of an orca for SeaWorld,
and that part of it got completely canceled. And then
I thought at that time they had canceled the park.
But now there is a sea World, either Dubai or
Abu Dhabi, I'll have And then I don't know where
Abu Dhabi is in relations to Dubai, because isn't it like,
aren't they one and the same?
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Nobody you're asking us, Yeah, yes, the hardest question.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
We have no idea.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I barely know where like North is.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Yeah, No, Abu Dhabi or Dubai are two different cities
in the same country. It looks like in the United
Arab Emirates.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
All I know is I have to go on I
for east to go north.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
It's only an hour drive from each other, an hour
and twenty minutes. So it's like, I don't know what's
an hour and twenty minutes from from our and Gainesville
is not Lakeland Tampa?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Tampa if there's no traffic is.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Like, no, Tampa's like two hours Lakeland?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Uh oh uh Disney from Maitland.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
That's not bad. That's we're getting a little bit closer.
We're dialing in a little bit closer there. But any
space center, how about that? So Abu Dhabi? Yeah, so
where which one's got? Sea World? Sea World.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
United Mystery Arab Emirates. They still have to have orchestras there.
They have different rules. It's an Abu Dhabi, So I
think that's what happened. Was originally Yas Island Abu Dhabi.
Did they really build the island like maybe they did?
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Maybe the island was built, they couldn't shape it like
an orca.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Well, and I know part of it like got built
like they started doing the form of it, and I guess, uh.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Or do we have a map?
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Jimmy's trying to go Jimmy's Jimmy's not got a next
time his listening world. Does my annual pass get me
in there? Because I feel like it should. No, you
get like the Platinum one. I feel like the platin
one gets you into like all their parks. I wonder
if it would count for that one.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
You wouldn't pay for that?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
No, of course I would. But I'm just saying, like.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Would you go to San Diego or San Antonio?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (16:28):
If I was traveling for whatever reason, you know, if
my past worked there? Sure? Why not?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Man?
Speaker 4 (16:35):
They got a waypool that's in the shape of a
whale tail. Oh yeah, that's pretty cool. They live in
a lap of luxury over there. They're not They're not
hurting for much over there.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Can I give some Jimmy news?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Yeah? Please, Jimmy Neutron.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
No, Jimmy, Jimmy Utron. Epcot, they're expanding the pilot of
solar powered smart trash cans.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
Oh okay, what's the powered trash can do?
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Is it walking around?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
It? It utilizes solar power to operate in can trash
compacting to allow for more trash to enter before it
fills up.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
It's fun and it.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Will signal the custodial staff when the trash can needs
to be changed. I bring this up as Jimmy news
because if they start adding more of these smart ones.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
The old ones now knowing sewear or sewel knowing you, uh, Disney,
they will figure out a way to retrofit the old
cans as.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
No, they're completely different. They are completely different shaped, they
are different sizes.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Oh really, yes, maybe you should help them, Jimmy by
going and hey, hey, I know you guys are getting
rid of your trash cans. Can I take one for
you so you don't have to take it to the trash.
You're like a helper. You're a helper. You're in the
trash to the trash for them.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
We I know a guy that has a vinyl cutting machine.
We could make a sign for the side of your
jeep that makes it look official.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Yeah, Disney trash Can Disposal.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Vehicle dot Com.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
No, no, no, no, we will just dress my jep.
We will just dress my jeep as a trash can
and then park it next to a trash can. And
it's just going the trash can into the the jeep
that's that has what are you going to call that?
Like advertising on it? Yeah, so we're gonna go trash
(18:37):
can one.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
We only need one. Sounds like you need a bunch.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I mean if you can get multiples.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
You know, uh buddy of mine who uh works in security,
he told me a story about how somebody backed up
into the Polynesian parking lot and just picked one up
and put it in the back of their truck and
then drove away.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
They found him.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
No, but I'm saying found him no, no, no, I am
not saying I am not saying stealing. If you had
the if they were like I want to buy if
but if they were like, hey, Jimmy, we know you
want one of these. Here's three. You're not gonna say
no to three. No, exactly, That's where I'm getting at.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Yeah, we will each have a trash can from Disney World,
and then once a year we'll have to bring them
together like bul Trump.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Can we do the show from inside each of our
trash cans?
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Okay, oh yes, yes, we will do that. I mean
it'll be spick and span and clean, all right, Dickerman,
they tell you you can have a trash can from
any park any land in Disney.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Which one do you get?
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Is there a cool space Mountain one, because that's the
first one that pops in my brain. Do they have
a good one over there?
Speaker 3 (19:55):
They have like they are the future world ones just
are very.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Like they're like gray and blue. I think they used
to be.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Yeah, I'm gonna go a Polynesian then, yeah, because Polynesians
gonna have that logo on it Tomorrowland does have like
the bamboo like lettering on it and like piping, so
that one's kind of cool.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Mm hmmm. I'm trying to think.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
There is obviously the one in Epcot that's got orange
bird all over.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Yeah, pictures of there is that one? She stayed at.
What the the the contemporary they have a cool trash can?
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (20:32):
Contemporary has got a very like streamline basic look to
their trash cans. But I'm gonna say they probably all
have like that that monterail motif on it, which I'll
be okay with that.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I feel like we're skipping like an important thing.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
And in star tours like around that area or even
Star Galaxies edge.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
No no no, no, no, no, no, You're close you're you're you're,
you're right there. Whatever kind of trash can.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
They had a.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Galactic store Cruiser. Oh yeah, you have to know that.
That was a cool trash can.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Yeah, what was it the Halcyon. Yeah, like they're branding
for the Houseion was just okay to me, but.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
It's like that's a limited that's a truly limited edition thing. Yeah,
they only built one of those.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
What do you think are there right now?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Well, it's where imagineering is moving or you're like creative.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
They still have like the beds and stuff in there,
like they still have the rooms. Honestly, it's probably still
untouched at this point.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
No, there are. There have been aerial pictures of like
cars there, and I mean like cars, not like work trucks.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
Yeah, no, I know, but it's probably just like Ben
Stiller's character from a Yeah Night at the Museum just
walking around with the flashlight.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Yeah, I want that job night security.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Then then then you should apply.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
I should. I will my application specifically, I only want
to work somewhere in Galactic star Cruiser. I don't care
what it is. I just want to get inside the joint.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
You will leave your actual job for a job that
you will say, you don't have to pay me. I
just want to.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Yeah, eleven bucks an hour, let's go.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Honestly, like, doing a night shift at Disney World has
got to be so like quiet and relaxing, you hope,
to a degree, to a degree, because you still got to, like,
you know, maintain a schedule to get done before the
park reopens.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Although then there's like the story that I there's like,
you know, the story that I sent you of people
acting like idiots, you know at Epcot. M Yeah, that
you'd have to deal with.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
There's always that. There's always that.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Oh, by the way, Jimmy, I'm looking more about the
Amity Island photo op with the Jaws ride. It has
the Ambity six, the boat, and it comes with the
grenade launcher.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Oh, it's cool. The grenade launcher is the extra little there.
That's great.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I think I'm gonna go this weekend. I think I'm
gonna go check it out.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
You should, you should? Hey, I know it's not a
trash camp. But SeaWorld did open their new rye.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yeah, when what is it?
Speaker 3 (23:17):
How is it? What's like?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I haven't been yet, as the official as the official
SeaWorld corresponded up to the Theme Park Podcast.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
When I was when I was on when I was
out of town, was when they had all the passhold
or previews.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
I missed the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
I have not been yet. I do know it's indoors.
It's like kind of like a soaring situation. But that's
all I know about it. So they needed an indoor
ride badly.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
When was the last time you were at SeaWorld?
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Oh man, it's been a minute, It has been a minute.
Have you been on the one that looks like a
jet ski? Yes? That one? That one is dangerous for fellas.
Oh yeah, it's got a pinch stone. I'm just gonna say,
you gotta be careful.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Nothing else needs to be elaborated.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Happy Spooky season everyone, It's official.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Not no, it's not.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
According to multiple theme parks, it is.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Oh I think he might be right, isn't Isn't Not
So Scary going on sale like tomorrow or something?
Speaker 5 (00:43):
It is very soon, but I don't believe it starts
until August fifteen?
Speaker 4 (00:48):
So this spooky season start until they sell the tickets?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Is that what it is? No Spooky season starts in October?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I'm sorry. Well, according to Disney, it begins August fifteenth,
when the first night of Not So Scary happens and
tickets go on sale. May twenty second.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Oh my gosh, that is next week.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Can you really feel like it's spooky if it's so
hot out?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I mean, when we were at Halloween Horror Nights in
October it was still hot outside.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
He's not yeah, totally wrong.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Well, no, he's not totally wrong, but in any evenings
it at least gets cool. In August, the middle of August,
you know, it's pretty much like the sun is out
all the time.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Also, if it's not spooky season, then why can I
walk into the five and dime at Universal Studios or
All Halos Eve Boutique at Islands of Adventure and by
merchandise for Halloween Horror Nights twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Because they're milking that cash cow.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Never go Alone?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Wow, Okay, well good for them.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
You are going to go alone Universe next week's Yeah,
they're bringing that tagline.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Back, never go along. Yeah, why don't they just call
it buy two tickets.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Halloween Her Night's fifty nine, buy two tickets.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Good point.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Speaking of buying tickets, Scott Harrish, you're going back to
Epic Universe in the coming week. Is there anything specific
your plan to hit, like right away when you get
to the park.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yes, I have to buy a power up band for
my friend James.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Oh, that's right, you do have to buy What about
a Bowser's meatball?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I mean I could get that, but I don't know
if it'll travel well. And I don't know for you. Oh,
I mean maybe I it does look spicy. No, I
was gonna go in and get the power band and
then leave.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
I doubt that I bought ticket especially to walk in,
buy a power banded leave.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
I mean I have done power bands at city.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I have done said things before. I have gone to
a I have gone to theme parks either to buy
a thing or take a picture of a thing, and
then leave.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
As an annual passholder. Though this is you bought a
specific ticket to go to this park.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Well, no, as of recording, the Ministry of Magic Ride
which has been like the vaunted ride there which is
you know, had a virtual queue, had just has a
standby line.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Oh okay, so closing that down soon.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
It was closed for it was closed for a week.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Oh okay.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
I thought it was it was going to be closed
until the end of a May, because we are what
a week away from.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
We are it opens on May twenty second. Well, they
they had announced that this week right now, it was
going to be closed ahead of the opening while they
work on things. The queue has been opened, so if
you wanted to experience that, you can, but maybe they
figured things out. Maybe they want to test tower to
work using a standby line instead of a virtual queue.
(03:58):
They've been cycling through a lot of stuff. I've seen
reports that there's been more and more effects been added
to the Monster's unchained ride, like more haptic things where
like you can feel more effects in your seat.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Okay, so that's cool. Yeah, but what has been the
opinion on the actual ministry of Magic Ride Because I
haven't Most people I know that have gone have not
gotten to ride that ride.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I know somebody that has been on it, and he
purposely won't tell.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Me WHOA that's what's got to be good, then.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah, he is. Basically, I don't want to spoil anything
for you with how good it is, Okay, but I
mean the ride vehicle alone is massive. It takes up
like almost two full lanes of I four.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Oh man, It's like that doesn't sound like it's gonna
be moving very fast.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Though, Well, that's I believe it is.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Well, Scott's gonna find out, you're gonna are you gonna
aim to ride that when you go on?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
If I can, I could go on Monday and it's
back to a virtual queue or it's closed there, it's
it is still a technical preview. There is not a
guarantee that you're able to do certain things.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Well, I would like you to make that your mission.
If it's available to ride that dang ride.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
It could be number two on the priority list.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Number one power is the Powerman. No.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Number one is riding that Boston Dydemics dog around the park.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Oh, I'm not doing that. I want to be able
to go back to this park in June.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Doesn't it have a saddle on it? Just hop on?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
No, I'm not doing that.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
You just gotta go kick it over like they do
in the video.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
No, I'm definitely not doing that. It's a draghead.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
That's when the eyes turn red and then like the
thing comes over its shoulder like Johnny five.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah. No, not when it goes into weapon mode.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
No, you'll just homelander your head.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
No. No, my plan. I want to do the Donkey
Kong Ride, the Mind Heart Ride, which has been you know,
cycling on and off when it's been open lately.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Again, people, when you went last time, that one alluded
to you, right.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
That one alluded yeah, because I think when we were
thinking about it, it was like a two hour wait, and
it was just like, you know, time is of the
essence when when when we were there? But I want
to try some new food stuff. I've heard Pizza Moon
is really good. I've heard there's an ice cream place
that is very good.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Do you have a shopping list for merch?
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Now that you've been this will be your second time,
so now you've kind of got an idea what the merch.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Available is besides a power band for.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
You, besides a power band for me, a power band
for myself? Which one are you getting? Uh?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I'm torn between Yoshi and Toad. I have not decided
yet one of the options Yoshi, Toad, Mario Luigi, Princess Peach,
Donkey Kong.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I'd be a Donkey Kong guy.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
And maybe there's a Bowser one I don't remember. I
think there is a Bowser, yeah, I mean it would
make sense. He does have a ride, yeah, collar browser.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Both sound good.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I don't know. I might buy a hat. There's been
some really cool merch for hats. Maybe I'll just buy
the creature from the Black Lagoon whole outfit. They got like,
you know, a jumper hands gloves or like hands feet
in like the helmet. So I don't know, you wear.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
That around the park afterwards? Are they going to discourage that?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I mean, it's the thing that they sell in the park.
Why couldn't I wear it in the park?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Okay, I mean sometimes they don't like masks.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
No, it's not you saw the picture your face is showing. Okay,
it's just a it's basically a helmet.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Yeah, true.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
And then I go to the makeup place and have
them paint me up, and then I put it on.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
There you go, Yeah, now you spent four hundred and
seventy five dollars and you've got.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
The full the full effect.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
And then I probably should not be walking around outside
of my house without a helmet, so that might be
good for me.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
And then I and then I walk out in the
sun into the two hundred percent humidity, and then and
then it's gone.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
The power up bands.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Your options are Yoshi and it's got a little uh,
you know, Yoshi egg on it. Then you got Daisy
and it's got a Daisy logo on it. Then you
got Princess Peach and it's got her crown. You got
Mario with the m Luigi with the l and then
Toad with the traditional shroom on it.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
So those options, and then there's no Donkey.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Well though there is if you go into the Donkey
Kong section of Super Nintendo Land. They only sell it
back there.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
And then like, uh, like the Mario band has like
it's mostly red and it's got like a little blue
tab like for his overalls with the yellow you know, buttons.
And then it's got the eyes like the Nintendo eyes.
And I don't know how to explain that other than this, say,
it's got black Nintendo eyes. You'll when you see it,
you'll know it. And they honestly look like they come
(08:55):
in like like it was made by Apple. The packaging, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
It's like a like a like a like a swatchwatch
kind of case.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Yeah, elevated packaging here.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Wow, I really dated myself with that reference. I'm not
happy about us watch.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Swatch watches are back, dude. When I was in Europe,
the Swatch stores were everywhere, and if I hadn't just
gotten an Apple watch, I really would have been tempted
to get a swatchwatch because they look great, the new
like the new version.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Oh okay, I know they had I know they had
a Swatch store like the Florida Mall. I think I had.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
No idea to watch was still a thing.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Okay, I'm looking online and I think I do see
a Uh there's a DK and it's got the DK
logo where the green band where like a little green part,
and then there's a Diddy Kong so there's a d
D logo.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah, there's there's some pretty cool Donkey Kong ice cream
that I also kind of want to try.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Oh yeah, sounds good.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
There is fun. His area is like really cool to
check out. It's very much its own. You have to
go through like another portal almost at the back of
Nintendo Land to get there.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
So is it banana flavored?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yes, if it's I like it.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Jimmy's sold.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah, I mean yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
So soft opening at Epic Universe until Thursday and then
Thursdays when they open the twenty second round.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Thursday's the big opening. Closed on the Wednesday before for
like a grand celebration thing, and they just announced later
on in the summer on Peacock there's a three part
documentary about Epic Universe.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
That's cool, all right, Jimmy, You'll never watch it, but
that's fine. Yeah, Well, it's because you want to watch Imagineering,
which he would love. It's like Taylor made for him. Yeah,
I'm not watching it because of you.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Two or behind the Attraction, the show with the rock producing.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
You're only punishing yourself, James. It's a Lauren to watch it.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Well, I think we have.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
And she'll probably want it without you. It's fine, and
maybe she'll watch Harry Potter.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I mean if you also, James, if you want me
to get you a robe from.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Ministry of Magic, yeah, yeah, or one of them new
magic sticks. Get him a new magic stick?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
What a what.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
He's trying to say? Wand yeah?
Speaker 5 (11:28):
That thing, you know, I kind of I kind of
like my uh my backscratcher that I've been using for
a while.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
It's like one hundred and it's like a seventy five
dollars the backscratcher you have.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Yep, the backscratcher.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
It probably was like a twenty dollars back scratcher because
it came in a cocktail. M But I mean I
got that it was on Myikiki beach on my honeymoon,
and that's my my Wand it's still it's dual purpose
because I can cast spells and then get that itch
(12:08):
between my shoulder blades.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
It's great.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
So Epic Universe is not the only thing happening in
theme box. We should probably uh see what else is
going on around the the industry.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
No, no, as I just told as, I just told you.
Next week you can also buy tickets to Mickey's Not
So Scary Halloween Party.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
That you can.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Yes, we're not gonna mention Abu Dhabi. You're looking at
me with puzzled faces.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Disney is Disney has announced potential plans to open up
a park in Abu Dhabi. Oh that they're basically just
licensing and providing creative input to.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Okay, and somebody's backing up a truck full of money
to them, Like.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Here's here, this should covers snow white. Here you go, guys,
you're good, You're you're back in the black man.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
I mean, you gotta have a park there. I mean,
SeaWorld's got a park in Abu Dhabi.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
So here's what I will say, though, if if this happens,
it will probably not be for at least a decade.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
I mean, it's gretty. I came there. Well.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
The reason why I say, the reason why I'm putting
some like caution on this is Universal announced in two
thousand and eight that they were going to do Universal
Students Dubai land, and then in twenty sixteen project was canceled.
(13:37):
Oh okay, So I mean, if it happens cool and
it'sposed to be an all indoor park, I believe.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
He is onto something because I know the original SeaWorld
Abu Dhabi or it might have been actually Dubai. They
were building out like a I don't know, like a peninsula, right.
It was crazy, it was insane whatever they were doing.
They were going to build an island that was in
the shape of a orca, yeah, or like a peninsula.
(14:09):
It was like in the shape of an orca for SeaWorld,
and that part of it got completely canceled. And then
I thought at that time they had canceled the park.
But now there is a sea World, either Dubai or
Abu Dhabi, I'll have And then I don't know where
Abu Dhabi is in relations to Dubai, because isn't it like,
aren't they one and the same?
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Nobody you're asking us, Yeah, yes, the hardest question.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
We have no idea.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I barely know where like North is.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Yeah, No, Abu Dhabi or Dubai are two different cities
in the same country. It looks like in the United
Arab Emirates.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
All I know is I have to go on I
for east to go north.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
It's only an hour drive from each other, an hour
and twenty minutes. So it's like, I don't know what's
an hour and twenty minutes from from our and Gainesville
is not Lakeland Tampa?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Tampa if there's no traffic is.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Like, no, Tampa's like two hours Lakeland?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Uh oh uh Disney from Maitland.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
That's not bad. That's we're getting a little bit closer.
We're dialing in a little bit closer there. But any
space center, how about that? So Abu Dhabi? Yeah, so
where which one's got? Sea World? Sea World.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
United Mystery Arab Emirates. They still have to have orchestras there.
They have different rules. It's an Abu Dhabi, So I
think that's what happened. Was originally Yas Island Abu Dhabi.
Did they really build the island like maybe they did?
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Maybe the island was built, they couldn't shape it like
an orca.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Well, and I know part of it like got built
like they started doing the form of it, and I guess, uh.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Or do we have a map?
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Jimmy's trying to go Jimmy's Jimmy's not got a next
time his listening world. Does my annual pass get me
in there? Because I feel like it should. No, you
get like the Platinum one. I feel like the platin
one gets you into like all their parks. I wonder
if it would count for that one.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
You wouldn't pay for that?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
No, of course I would. But I'm just saying, like.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Would you go to San Diego or San Antonio?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (16:28):
If I was traveling for whatever reason, you know, if
my past worked there? Sure? Why not?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Man?
Speaker 4 (16:35):
They got a waypool that's in the shape of a
whale tail. Oh yeah, that's pretty cool. They live in
a lap of luxury over there. They're not They're not
hurting for much over there.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Can I give some Jimmy news?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Yeah? Please, Jimmy Neutron.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
No, Jimmy, Jimmy Utron. Epcot, they're expanding the pilot of
solar powered smart trash cans.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
Oh okay, what's the powered trash can do?
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Is it walking around?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
It? It utilizes solar power to operate in can trash
compacting to allow for more trash to enter before it
fills up.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
It's fun and it.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Will signal the custodial staff when the trash can needs
to be changed. I bring this up as Jimmy news
because if they start adding more of these smart ones.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
The old ones now knowing sewear or sewel knowing you, uh, Disney,
they will figure out a way to retrofit the old
cans as.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
No, they're completely different. They are completely different shaped, they
are different sizes.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Oh really, yes, maybe you should help them, Jimmy by
going and hey, hey, I know you guys are getting
rid of your trash cans. Can I take one for
you so you don't have to take it to the trash.
You're like a helper. You're a helper. You're in the
trash to the trash for them.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
We I know a guy that has a vinyl cutting machine.
We could make a sign for the side of your
jeep that makes it look official.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Yeah, Disney trash Can Disposal.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Vehicle dot Com.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
No, no, no, no, we will just dress my jep.
We will just dress my jeep as a trash can
and then park it next to a trash can. And
it's just going the trash can into the the jeep
that's that has what are you going to call that?
Like advertising on it? Yeah, so we're gonna go trash
(18:37):
can one.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
We only need one. Sounds like you need a bunch.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I mean if you can get multiples.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
You know, uh buddy of mine who uh works in security,
he told me a story about how somebody backed up
into the Polynesian parking lot and just picked one up
and put it in the back of their truck and
then drove away.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
They found him.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
No, but I'm saying found him no, no, no, I am
not saying I am not saying stealing. If you had
the if they were like I want to buy if
but if they were like, hey, Jimmy, we know you
want one of these. Here's three. You're not gonna say
no to three. No, exactly, That's where I'm getting at.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Yeah, we will each have a trash can from Disney World,
and then once a year we'll have to bring them
together like bul Trump.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Can we do the show from inside each of our
trash cans?
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Okay, oh yes, yes, we will do that. I mean
it'll be spick and span and clean, all right, Dickerman,
they tell you you can have a trash can from
any park any land in Disney.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Which one do you get?
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Is there a cool space Mountain one, because that's the
first one that pops in my brain. Do they have
a good one over there?
Speaker 3 (19:55):
They have like they are the future world ones just
are very.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Like they're like gray and blue. I think they used
to be.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Yeah, I'm gonna go a Polynesian then, yeah, because Polynesians
gonna have that logo on it Tomorrowland does have like
the bamboo like lettering on it and like piping, so
that one's kind of cool.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Mm hmmm. I'm trying to think.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
There is obviously the one in Epcot that's got orange
bird all over.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Yeah, pictures of there is that one? She stayed at.
What the the the contemporary they have a cool trash can?
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (20:32):
Contemporary has got a very like streamline basic look to
their trash cans. But I'm gonna say they probably all
have like that that monterail motif on it, which I'll
be okay with that.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I feel like we're skipping like an important thing.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
And in star tours like around that area or even
Star Galaxies edge.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
No no no, no, no, no, no, You're close you're you're you're,
you're right there. Whatever kind of trash can.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
They had a.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Galactic store Cruiser. Oh yeah, you have to know that.
That was a cool trash can.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Yeah, what was it the Halcyon. Yeah, like they're branding
for the Houseion was just okay to me, but.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
It's like that's a limited that's a truly limited edition thing. Yeah,
they only built one of those.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
What do you think are there right now?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Well, it's where imagineering is moving or you're like creative.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
They still have like the beds and stuff in there,
like they still have the rooms. Honestly, it's probably still
untouched at this point.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
No, there are. There have been aerial pictures of like
cars there, and I mean like cars, not like work trucks.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
Yeah, no, I know, but it's probably just like Ben
Stiller's character from a Yeah Night at the Museum just
walking around with the flashlight.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Yeah, I want that job night security.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Then then then you should apply.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
I should. I will my application specifically, I only want
to work somewhere in Galactic star Cruiser. I don't care
what it is. I just want to get inside the joint.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
You will leave your actual job for a job that
you will say, you don't have to pay me. I
just want to.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Yeah, eleven bucks an hour, let's go.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Honestly, like, doing a night shift at Disney World has
got to be so like quiet and relaxing, you hope,
to a degree, to a degree, because you still got to, like,
you know, maintain a schedule to get done before the
park reopens.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Although then there's like the story that I there's like,
you know, the story that I sent you of people
acting like idiots, you know at Epcot. M Yeah, that
you'd have to deal with.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
There's always that. There's always that.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Oh, by the way, Jimmy, I'm looking more about the
Amity Island photo op with the Jaws ride. It has
the Ambity six, the boat, and it comes with the
grenade launcher.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Oh, it's cool. The grenade launcher is the extra little there.
That's great.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I think I'm gonna go this weekend. I think I'm
gonna go check it out.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
You should, you should? Hey, I know it's not a
trash camp. But SeaWorld did open their new rye.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yeah, when what is it?
Speaker 3 (23:17):
How is it? What's like?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I haven't been yet, as the official as the official
SeaWorld corresponded up to the Theme Park Podcast.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
When I was when I was on when I was
out of town, was when they had all the passhold
or previews.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
I missed the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
I have not been yet. I do know it's indoors.
It's like kind of like a soaring situation. But that's
all I know about it. So they needed an indoor
ride badly.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
When was the last time you were at SeaWorld?
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Oh man, it's been a minute, It has been a minute.
Have you been on the one that looks like a
jet ski? Yes? That one? That one is dangerous for fellas.
Oh yeah, it's got a pinch stone. I'm just gonna say,
you gotta be careful.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Nothing else needs to be elaborated.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Yeah, that's it all right.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
