Here's your hosts, Dickerman, Jimmy D and Scott Harris.
Speaker 4 (00:20):

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Hi, Hello, how's it going?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Oh? Is this mean college football's back? Yes, yep, it began.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Technically, it actually began last week.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
It makes it hard to watch the fights at the
Alehouse when there's college football games, because people actually come
to watch those.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
You know, I went, I went to go watch the fights,
and you guys weren't there.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
I did Tex Scott mid fights and he'd texted me back.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I went where I knew you guys were, and uh,
you guys weren't.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
There standard standard Scott procedure.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Hey, it is a it is well, let me say
it is traditionally a very busy weekend at the theme parks,
but I feel like this year has been a little different,
and you never know what you're gonna get because what
was it? Was it fourth of July that like some
of the parks were like totally dead.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Okay, yes, in theory and sometimes in practice it's been
a little bit dead. I can guarantee you this though,
that at nighttime at Universal Studios Orlando, or at Magic
Ingham at the Walt Disney World Resort, it will be
busy there.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Oh are we this is the weekend we start, This
is Halloween. Halloween's here, Yes, Oh my god. I do
not feel halloweeny right now. It just it doesn't feel
like it's in the air.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
You don't feel like you don't feel like a roast.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
No.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
I mean maybe if you go to the parks you
get into it, but in August it just doesn't feel
very Halloween. Like, what do you mean.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I've been watching horror movies like all year and since
Spooky season's been here, since since it never was in
the eyes of some people, never went away. Spirit. I
got spear stores open up across the street. It's awesome.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
When when do we get our first spirit? That's that's
when do we get our first spirit?
Speaker 5 (02:33):
Halloween Spirits been open for two weeks those things have
been open.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
What did the takeover in ultimonth one of the three
derelict Rooms to Go storefronts is now next with Kobe Steakhout.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah, it went from the golf store, which is huge,
to an even bigger store.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Yeah, it went from well, no, the golf store is
now a lumber store.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Correct.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
The Rooms to Go outlet is now advance out of parts, okay,
and the one that's next to Kobe Steakhouse that is
the Spirit And then you could start your watch to
when the new Rooms to Go location closes and becomes
another Spirit store.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
You gotta wonder what the what the financial thought is
here to just keep opening stores and then closing the
stores and moving like half a mile up the road, Like,
what's what's the thought pattern here? What are we going for?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
They're slowly trying to get to a Papka. They're working
their way down the road down for thirty six.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Well, no, did they build a didn't they build like
one of those like all natural grocery stores in your
area but it never actually opened? How is that not
a Spirit.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Store that got taken over by a Sprouts though?
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Okay, yeah, that was a it was a Lucky and
then that's supposed to be a Lucky Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Yeah, there is a giant Amazon building that was supposed
to open and then it just it's redesigned, it's all done.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
It's just sitting there empty. Nothing's happening with it.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Actually, if you're talking about the one that's in a
papka as well.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I walked up to it and I've never seen this before.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
The front out the outside of the store is fine,
but when you look in the window, it's dirt on
the floor. It's not even like letvel dirt. It looks
like the beach after people have walked on it.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Just didn't get around to doing anything inside. I don't
know what's going on there. Outside it looks great.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Can we BEMX bike inside of that? And sounds like fun?
Maybe that's what it's gonna be, the indoor BMX indoor
go carts.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Yeah all right, So okay, if we're doing this, I
guess we're doing this.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
It is Halloween season apparently here Labor Day weekend.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
We do have some announcements from our friends at Halloween Horronites.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yeah, so first up, we've got Death Theaters are back
for Halloween Horronites. Thirty three.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
So is that in a scare zone they are in
a couple of years since I've been they are.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Over in Nocturn Alley. O. Yeah, these are the these
are the you know, the most loyal supporters of Lord Voldemort.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Yes, I uh, I want to see that because I
have not gotten to see that since they started doing
that out there.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
So that's cool.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
It's a good thing because we will be there on
October fourth doing the show.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I'm very excited about this.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
The entire lineup from Real Radio is going to be
out there and then including us, we somehow hitched the
hitch a ride on this, like like three ticks.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Should we ask Bradshaw if we can go live?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I know the answer that question.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Okay, wait live, just like when Colbert Show ends, we
just kick off Tom and Dan.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I was gonna say, exactly, yeah, they're not.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
I think they're off right after Cobra.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
There is there is a live programming on that station
at that time.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Sorry, guys, we're gonna have to bump you for the
theme park podcast Get Lost exactly.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Yeah, come back next week.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Not to go over well on that one.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
No, but we will record the show live from Universal.
Then we will have it on the next day.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
And then if you if you set the Dickerman walking
around the park, make sure to give him a hug
and a butter beer. No, we're not gonna make people
buy you things.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
You guys don't want to see me drink six or
eight butter beers again.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
No, go up to Dickerman and ask him how many
butter beers he's had.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
The answer will be no. If I'm paying for myself, none, zero.
I do wonder. Oh, you'll have at least one.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
You should get one of you should get one of
each version.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I want to throw the ice cream inside a frozen
butter beer. That's what I want.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
No, Scott's got the idea. Man, you do that, and
then we do like a what do you call a flight? Yeah,
and you just give us your live reviews.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
And then you go ride Ripride Rocket.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
I'm all good with that because that thing that's closed soon, right,
that's the rumor.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
That's been a speculated thing for years now.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Okay, it's a speculated thing anyhow. October fourth is when
we're gonna be out of Halloween horn nights. Yes, so
let's talk about what else we have there?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Well, you got you brought up food and the menus
are out because there's a bunch of different like food
stands throughout the park.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
And I've I've started hearing about this.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
I was with the girls in my office this week
and they were rathing about some of the things that
are available this year.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
They were very excited.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Well over in the New York section, over by the
Quiet Place house, you can buy Abbott's Farm corn Chowder.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Okay, or Jimmy Wite.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Or mill Brooks Baked Beans that does not sound good,
which feature quietly cooked baked beans with mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese,
and a cornbread muffin.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
I don't know, man, I don't know if I want
to buy baked beans about before going through the Halloween
hornit chops before?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Did somebody think this through all the way before you?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
No, No, you're buying a baked bean dish before going
into a house where you're supposed to be quiet.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Do those Quiet Place guys reactive parts? That's the question.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I mean, I mean you're making noise.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
So yes. I feel like this is a joke they're
playing on us.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
It's on the menu. I saw the picture.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
I feel like they're gonna do it. It's a joke.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
My one question, though, is who is ordering corn showder
when it is a heat index of a hundred at
nine o'clock at night.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
There is a chance we'll have a cool day in October.
You don't know, Scott, it could happen.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yes, maybe October, maybe October thirtieth.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Yes, it's possible.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Let's see. Going over to the Ghostbuster Frozen Empire area,
also in New York, we got Slimer's Korean corn Dog Okay,
which is a Korean cheese dog covered in free Do's
in cheeto powder.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I would eat that. I would eat that, and I
would call my cardiologist. Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Then there's the Frozen Death Chill, which is a corn
dog dipped in mint cheesecake with bugles and glitter on top.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Is extreme. That is extreme.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
That sounds like something a stoner invented. Yeah, well, who who?
Who put this metader together? And what what were they doing?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Well, let me tell you the third item on the menu,
the Mini Staypuffs More, which is a mini Staypuff marshmallow
man who's been charred on one side on top of
a chocolate bar and a Graham cracker.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
This was the one of the girls were excited about.
They're showing me pictures of this staypuff. They're they're pumped
for this thing.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Are the Ninja Turtles working in the kitchen at.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
A I think it's Scooby and Shaggy for being honest.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Yeah, but they work there. They worked there, This is true. Yeah,
people were excited about that step up. It did look
pretty good.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Actually, it looks adorable.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
This is what happens when you have AI make your menu.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
No, I'm no, no, no, I'm on board with this this.
If this is what AI is doing, I'm all on
board with this.

never seen an Insidious movie, neither of I I know.

those days. You were still in high school.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
I went one time where I was your guest, Dickerman,
and then you went one time where you were my guest.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
That's two times. And that's fun. How those things work out?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Oh yeah, they suddenly loads of fun.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Yeah it was, sorry, Scott, but yeah they would bring
They would have literally every dish available and you could
eat it all.

Are you gonna bring thirst spreaker with you and ask
them to fill it up butter beer.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yeah, I would if they would.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I just sometimes imagine whatever I think of butter beer.
I then also started thinking about of a Gustis gloop,
and if that's.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Exactly, I could toe pulling into a lake of butter beer.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
But if you read his obituary and it said that,
you'd be.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Like, yeah, as long as they got enough of the
marshmallow topping on that lake, I'm in. Don't don't short
change me on that part, because it's important, all.

Speaker 5 (15:47):
So Dickerman, what a wing is is like you know,
the bird's arm, well.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
I know, but like when you get wings, yeah, they
at the flag at the wings is that is what's that?
Speaker 3 (15:58):

has a drum in it.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Oh okay, there's a drumstick in the wing.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
All right, Those are usually called flats, right.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
No, No, the flat is the other half of the kay. See,
every like chicken wing has two pieces. You get the
flat and the drum. Then there's the drumsticks that are
the legs. So there's two different drums on a bird.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
So like two years ago, you just educated me and
probably a lot of listeners. So is the turkey wing
going to be like the drum or like the flappy guy?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
I mean it's probably the flat.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Yeah, it's his wing, So I'm going to go with that.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
I don't like flats are too much work.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Uh. Then there's are you.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Talking about flats are better than drums? That's that's opinion.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Drums are easier to eat.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Yeah, drums are rule.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Okay, Then you can get pumpkin guts. Okay, butternut squashed
zucchini noodles with pumpkin seeds and vegan butter.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
That sounds like all the stuff I throw in the trash.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
I mean, I like pumpkin seeds, but I don't know
if I'm going for this thing.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
All right, how about the say okay over in Triplets
of Terror, which is right before Springfield, the say cheese
burger mm hmmm. Which is just a burger.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
It's just cheeseburger. Cheeseburger is a theme. Parks are always
hitting miss we know this.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
How about a bloody good bloody goodie bag. Okay, crispy
chicken chunks with fries, pepper, onion mix and bloody good sauce.
You had me till you said onion. All right, I
got all right. I found your item. The Slashed Siblings
sweet Sampler.
Speaker 3 (17:51):

a child stream and a chouck clid cheese cake cone trio.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Yeah. I mean every eight year old and me will
be down for this.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Those are all of the food items, Dickerman. If you
want me to run through all the alcohol items, I can,
but you know.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
I'm good on that.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
But here's the thing, guys, there's a lot of bars
at Hallween Ornet's.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
There are the girls that sell the They still sell
the blood bags.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
I believe shots.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I believe so.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Yeah. They would walk around selling them and I would
always say no, thank you, thank you, no thank you.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Also on the menu, though, because it's back, is twisted
taters and pizza fries, and those are both very popular items.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
They are delicious items too.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
You could also get vegan pizza fries.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Do pizza fries have like pepperoni on them? Is that
why they are not vegan?
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Well?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
There are oil, there's the there's the cheese.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Yeah. Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
So you can get regular pizza fries, which is marion arasauce,
milchy cheese, pepperoni, and sausage, or the vegan pizza fries,
which is marin aira sauce, vegan cheese, vegan pepperoni, and
vegan sausage crumbles.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Being a vegan sounds so depressing to me. Here's I mean.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I've I've had both of them and can't taste the difference.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Okay, all right, pretty sure I could.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
One is better.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
We can do a taste test.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
That's the thing. I bet if you did a if
you did a blind taste test, you wouldn't be able
to tell the difference.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I feel like I would.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
But if if I told you this is vegan, this
is regular, you would say that you could tell a difference.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
One hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Yeah, yeah, I would like a blind taste test in
that I would do that.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Yes, But the old Pepsi challenge.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Here's the thing, though, that blind taste test would cost
me twenty four dollars because you would eat both entire portions.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
This is true, but you know, perhaps you know, Universal
wants to put it out there so they can they
can silence it.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Doubt ors like myself, you just.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Want them to give you you free food.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
That's That's not what I'm saying. Maybe that is what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
All right, since that is what's going on in Universal
over at Disney at Epcot, mm hmm, the test track
canopy gone?
Speaker 3 (20:19):
What are they dealing with it?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
It's it's gone because remember that, but that rides closed
right now for theming is it can't be part of
the theming. Look, I just have a question. What does
Epcot have again Shade?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
They don't like Shade and they don't like.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
You to have an option for a fast ride at
any given time.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
What do you mean Guardian Guardians and the galaxies right there?
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Yeah, boy, can't have them both open at the same time.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
What about living with the land?
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Okay, that is an option?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
What about the sword Soorn? Soorn you fly over the world?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
That is true? That that is true?
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Is Guardian still a virtual cue. Yes, can we eliminate that,
like Bob? Can we get Bob to just eliminate this?
He needs a little good will still, he could just
get rid of the virtual cues.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Yeah, I know. I'm in agreement with you on this.
Virtual cue should not exist at all.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
I know this guy needs to do it. Like, what's
he waiting for? Who's in charge of this?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Well, he's busy finding a successor. Or he's busy paying
Robert Donney Junior ninety five million dollars to be in
like three movies.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
That's the thing.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Maybe here's the deal, guys, Maybe since the last successor
sucks so bad, they want to get this new person
off the ground running and they will have them come
in immediately and say no more virtual cues, so they
get over right away. I mean, even better if they
said let's bring back fast pass too, and would.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Bring a lot of good will their way and.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
The price of annual passes what they were ten years ago.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Now you're speaking my language.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
It don't think that's happening. By the way, did you
know that, I don't know. If we talked about this,
Deadpool is doing story time right now?
Speaker 3 (22:09):
That's it?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Campus Yeah, over in Yeah, and I heard he Uh,
they had to tone him down a little bit.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Because he brought up a certain lawsuit that's going on.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
He brought up a lot of things. I think that
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
I don't know who's who's scripting Deadpool over in California, but.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
They probably need a little bit of an oversight and management.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Some quality control going on over there.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Perhaps, Yeah, perhaps just run that one through the filter
before putting it out there.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Just just a thought.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Is Mickey's Is Mickey's hot and not so scary? Sold
out just for the rest of the season. Is that
that done?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
I believe it's sold out for the next two years?
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
I love how these companies could just print money during
the holidays there, during during Halloween.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Oh my god, you want do you want the actual,
non sarcastic answer. Yeah, you just sold out through September twentieth.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Okay, well that's three weeks ahead. Yeah, I mean you
could still get a ticket. Can you get a ticket?
Speaker 3 (23:06):
How did Disney tickets work nowadays?
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Say I bought a ticket and I wanted to turn
around and sell it in the black market for a profit,
Not that I would do such a thing.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
You cannot, but is that possible. No, it's tied to
your name. Just buy it. Like what if you got
a paper ticket from like a box office window.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Yeah, like one of those people you know that on
the side of the road they always say Disney tickets
twenty nine ninety nine.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Those guys, it's tied to your ID.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
I don't like this, this big brother. It's a little
too big brothery for me. I just want to do
a little black market selling. I don't know why we
can't have this anymore.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
The Theme Park Podcast does not condone any of the
comments that Brian Dickerman has made in the last two minutes.
One hundred and forty nine dollars is how much the
next one costs?
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Good gravy?
Speaker 4 (23:50):
All right, Well you can still if you if you
are financially challenged. But you really want to do a
Halloween invent at a theme park, I think you can.
It's SeaWorld hollowscreen tickets for like fifty bucks right now,
if you want to buy them early. Yes, that's the
problem people face. They don't like to buy early and
safe because they don't like to think about it. They
don't want to make planned, they don't want to plan
that far ahead and the end a paying one hundred
(24:11):
and twelve bucks instead of twenty five or thirty or forty.
Just just pass it out there. Buy your tickets early.
You'll save some money, all right. I guess we're just

Oh? Is this mean college football's back? Yes, yep, it began.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Technically, it actually began last week.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
It makes it hard to watch the fights at the
Alehouse when there's college football games, because people actually come
to watch those.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
You know, I went, I went to go watch the fights,
and you guys weren't there.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
I did Tex Scott mid fights and he'd texted me back.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I went where I knew you guys were, and uh,
you guys weren't.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
There standard standard Scott procedure.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Hey, it is a it is well, let me say
it is traditionally a very busy weekend at the theme parks,
but I feel like this year has been a little different,
and you never know what you're gonna get because what
was it? Was it fourth of July that like some
of the parks were like totally dead.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Okay, yes, in theory and sometimes in practice it's been
a little bit dead. I can guarantee you this though,
that at nighttime at Universal Studios Orlando, or at Magic
Ingham at the Walt Disney World Resort, it will be
busy there.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Oh are we this is the weekend we start, This
is Halloween. Halloween's here, Yes, Oh my god. I do
not feel halloweeny right now. It just it doesn't feel
like it's in the air.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
You don't feel like you don't feel like a roast.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
No.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
I mean maybe if you go to the parks you
get into it, but in August it just doesn't feel
very Halloween. Like, what do you mean.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I've been watching horror movies like all year and since
Spooky season's been here, since since it never was in
the eyes of some people, never went away. Spirit. I
got spear stores open up across the street. It's awesome.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
When when do we get our first spirit? That's that's
when do we get our first spirit?
Speaker 5 (02:33):
Halloween Spirits been open for two weeks those things have
been open.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
What did the takeover in ultimonth one of the three
derelict Rooms to Go storefronts is now next with Kobe Steakhout.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah, it went from the golf store, which is huge,
to an even bigger store.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Yeah, it went from well, no, the golf store is
now a lumber store.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Correct.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
The Rooms to Go outlet is now advance out of parts, okay,
and the one that's next to Kobe Steakhouse that is
the Spirit And then you could start your watch to
when the new Rooms to Go location closes and becomes
another Spirit store.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
You gotta wonder what the what the financial thought is
here to just keep opening stores and then closing the
stores and moving like half a mile up the road, Like,
what's what's the thought pattern here? What are we going for?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
They're slowly trying to get to a Papka. They're working
their way down the road down for thirty six.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Well, no, did they build a didn't they build like
one of those like all natural grocery stores in your
area but it never actually opened? How is that not
a Spirit.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Store that got taken over by a Sprouts though?
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Okay, yeah, that was a it was a Lucky and
then that's supposed to be a Lucky Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Yeah, there is a giant Amazon building that was supposed
to open and then it just it's redesigned, it's all done.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
It's just sitting there empty. Nothing's happening with it.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Actually, if you're talking about the one that's in a
papka as well.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I walked up to it and I've never seen this before.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
The front out the outside of the store is fine,
but when you look in the window, it's dirt on
the floor. It's not even like letvel dirt. It looks
like the beach after people have walked on it.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Just didn't get around to doing anything inside. I don't
know what's going on there. Outside it looks great.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Can we BEMX bike inside of that? And sounds like fun?
Maybe that's what it's gonna be, the indoor BMX indoor
go carts.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Yeah all right, So okay, if we're doing this, I
guess we're doing this.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
It is Halloween season apparently here Labor Day weekend.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
We do have some announcements from our friends at Halloween Horronites.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yeah, so first up, we've got Death Theaters are back
for Halloween Horronites. Thirty three.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
So is that in a scare zone they are in
a couple of years since I've been they are.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Over in Nocturn Alley. O. Yeah, these are the these
are the you know, the most loyal supporters of Lord Voldemort.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Yes, I uh, I want to see that because I
have not gotten to see that since they started doing
that out there.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
So that's cool.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
It's a good thing because we will be there on
October fourth doing the show.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I'm very excited about this.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
The entire lineup from Real Radio is going to be
out there and then including us, we somehow hitched the
hitch a ride on this, like like three ticks.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Should we ask Bradshaw if we can go live?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I know the answer that question.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Okay, wait live, just like when Colbert Show ends, we
just kick off Tom and Dan.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I was gonna say, exactly, yeah, they're not.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
I think they're off right after Cobra.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
There is there is a live programming on that station
at that time.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Sorry, guys, we're gonna have to bump you for the
theme park podcast Get Lost exactly.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Yeah, come back next week.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Not to go over well on that one.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
No, but we will record the show live from Universal.
Then we will have it on the next day.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
And then if you if you set the Dickerman walking
around the park, make sure to give him a hug
and a butter beer. No, we're not gonna make people
buy you things.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
You guys don't want to see me drink six or
eight butter beers again.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
No, go up to Dickerman and ask him how many
butter beers he's had.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
The answer will be no. If I'm paying for myself, none, zero.
I do wonder. Oh, you'll have at least one.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
You should get one of you should get one of
each version.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I want to throw the ice cream inside a frozen
butter beer. That's what I want.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
No, Scott's got the idea. Man, you do that, and
then we do like a what do you call a flight? Yeah,
and you just give us your live reviews.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
And then you go ride Ripride Rocket.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
I'm all good with that because that thing that's closed soon, right,
that's the rumor.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
That's been a speculated thing for years now.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Okay, it's a speculated thing anyhow. October fourth is when
we're gonna be out of Halloween horn nights. Yes, so
let's talk about what else we have there?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Well, you got you brought up food and the menus
are out because there's a bunch of different like food
stands throughout the park.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
And I've I've started hearing about this.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
I was with the girls in my office this week
and they were rathing about some of the things that
are available this year.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
They were very excited.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Well over in the New York section, over by the
Quiet Place house, you can buy Abbott's Farm corn Chowder.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Okay, or Jimmy Wite.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Or mill Brooks Baked Beans that does not sound good,
which feature quietly cooked baked beans with mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese,
and a cornbread muffin.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
I don't know, man, I don't know if I want
to buy baked beans about before going through the Halloween
hornit chops before?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Did somebody think this through all the way before you?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
No, No, you're buying a baked bean dish before going
into a house where you're supposed to be quiet.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Do those Quiet Place guys reactive parts? That's the question.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I mean, I mean you're making noise.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
So yes. I feel like this is a joke they're
playing on us.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
It's on the menu. I saw the picture.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
I feel like they're gonna do it. It's a joke.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
My one question, though, is who is ordering corn showder
when it is a heat index of a hundred at
nine o'clock at night.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
There is a chance we'll have a cool day in October.
You don't know, Scott, it could happen.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yes, maybe October, maybe October thirtieth.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Yes, it's possible.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Let's see. Going over to the Ghostbuster Frozen Empire area,
also in New York, we got Slimer's Korean corn Dog Okay,
which is a Korean cheese dog covered in free Do's
in cheeto powder.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I would eat that. I would eat that, and I
would call my cardiologist. Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Then there's the Frozen Death Chill, which is a corn
dog dipped in mint cheesecake with bugles and glitter on top.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Is extreme. That is extreme.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
That sounds like something a stoner invented. Yeah, well, who who?
Who put this metader together? And what what were they doing?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Well, let me tell you the third item on the menu,
the Mini Staypuffs More, which is a mini Staypuff marshmallow
man who's been charred on one side on top of
a chocolate bar and a Graham cracker.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
This was the one of the girls were excited about.
They're showing me pictures of this staypuff. They're they're pumped
for this thing.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Are the Ninja Turtles working in the kitchen at.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
A I think it's Scooby and Shaggy for being honest.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Yeah, but they work there. They worked there, This is true. Yeah,
people were excited about that step up. It did look
pretty good.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Actually, it looks adorable.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
This is what happens when you have AI make your menu.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
No, I'm no, no, no, I'm on board with this this.
If this is what AI is doing, I'm all on
board with this.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Ye're all good, all well, and good till it's judgment day.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Over over by MPs.

I wasn't here, sorry, Scott. You weren't here back in
those days. You were still in high school.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
I went one time where I was your guest, Dickerman,
and then you went one time where you were my guest.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
That's two times. And that's fun. How those things work out?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Oh yeah, they suddenly loads of fun.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Yeah it was, sorry, Scott, but yeah they would bring
They would have literally every dish available and you could
eat it all.

Are you gonna bring thirst spreaker with you and ask
them to fill it up butter beer.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yeah, I would if they would.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I just sometimes imagine whatever I think of butter beer.
I then also started thinking about of a Gustis gloop,
and if that's.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Exactly, I could toe pulling into a lake of butter beer.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
But if you read his obituary and it said that,
you'd be.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Like, yeah, as long as they got enough of the
marshmallow topping on that lake, I'm in. Don't don't short
change me on that part, because it's important, all.

Turkey wings turkey wings like actual turkey wings.
Speaker 3 (15:39):

Speaker 4 (15:42):
Okay, I but I mean like like a like a.

Speaker 5 (15:47):
So Dickerman, what a wing is is like you know,
the bird's arm, well.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
I know, but like when you get wings, yeah, they
at the flag at the wings is that is what's that?
Speaker 3 (15:58):
When you get what the leg thing the drums that's.

has a drum in it.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Oh okay, there's a drumstick in the wing.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
All right, Those are usually called flats, right.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
No, No, the flat is the other half of the kay. See,
every like chicken wing has two pieces. You get the
flat and the drum. Then there's the drumsticks that are
the legs. So there's two different drums on a bird.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
So like two years ago, you just educated me and
probably a lot of listeners. So is the turkey wing
going to be like the drum or like the flappy guy?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
I mean it's probably the flat.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Yeah, it's his wing, So I'm going to go with that.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
I don't like flats are too much work.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Uh. Then there's are you.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Talking about flats are better than drums? That's that's opinion.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Drums are easier to eat.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Yeah, drums are rule.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Okay, Then you can get pumpkin guts. Okay, butternut squashed

How about a bloody good bloody goodie bag. Okay, crispy
chicken chunks with fries, pepper, onion mix and bloody good sauce.
You had me till you said onion. All right, I
got all right. I found your item. The Slashed Siblings
sweet Sampler.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Bubblegum moose balloon in fun fetti cupcake. Yep, this is
a child stream and a chouck clid cheese cake cone trio.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Yeah. I mean every eight year old and me will
be down for this.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Those are all of the food items, Dickerman. If you
want me to run through all the alcohol items, I can,
but you know.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
I'm good on that.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
But here's the thing, guys, there's a lot of bars
at Hallween Ornet's.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
There are the girls that sell the They still sell
the blood bags.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
I believe shots.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I believe so.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Yeah. They would walk around selling them and I would
always say no, thank you, thank you, no thank you.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Also on the menu, though, because it's back, is twisted
taters and pizza fries, and those are both very popular items.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
They are delicious items too.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
You could also get vegan pizza fries.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Do pizza fries have like pepperoni on them? Is that
why they are not vegan?
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Well?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
There are oil, there's the there's the cheese.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Yeah. Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
So you can get regular pizza fries, which is marion arasauce,
milchy cheese, pepperoni, and sausage, or the vegan pizza fries,
which is marin aira sauce, vegan cheese, vegan pepperoni, and
vegan sausage crumbles.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Being a vegan sounds so depressing to me. Here's I mean.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I've I've had both of them and can't taste the difference.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Okay, all right, pretty sure I could.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
One is better.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
We can do a taste test.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
That's the thing. I bet if you did a if
you did a blind taste test, you wouldn't be able
to tell the difference.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I feel like I would.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
But if if I told you this is vegan, this
is regular, you would say that you could tell a difference.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
One hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Yeah, yeah, I would like a blind taste test in
that I would do that.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Yes, But the old Pepsi challenge.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Here's the thing, though, that blind taste test would cost
me twenty four dollars because you would eat both entire portions.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
This is true, but you know, perhaps you know, Universal
wants to put it out there so they can they
can silence it.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Doubt ors like myself, you just.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Want them to give you you free food.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
That's That's not what I'm saying. Maybe that is what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
All right, since that is what's going on in Universal
over at Disney at Epcot, mm hmm, the test track
canopy gone?
Speaker 3 (20:19):
What are they dealing with it?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
It's it's gone because remember that, but that rides closed
right now for theming is it can't be part of
the theming. Look, I just have a question. What does
Epcot have again Shade?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
They don't like Shade and they don't like.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
You to have an option for a fast ride at
any given time.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
What do you mean Guardian Guardians and the galaxies right there?
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Yeah, boy, can't have them both open at the same time.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
What about living with the land?
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Okay, that is an option?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
What about the sword Soorn? Soorn you fly over the world?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
That is true? That that is true?
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Is Guardian still a virtual cue. Yes, can we eliminate that,
like Bob? Can we get Bob to just eliminate this?
He needs a little good will still, he could just
get rid of the virtual cues.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Yeah, I know. I'm in agreement with you on this.
Virtual cue should not exist at all.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
I know this guy needs to do it. Like, what's
he waiting for? Who's in charge of this?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Well, he's busy finding a successor. Or he's busy paying
Robert Donney Junior ninety five million dollars to be in
like three movies.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
That's the thing.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Maybe here's the deal, guys, Maybe since the last successor
sucks so bad, they want to get this new person
off the ground running and they will have them come
in immediately and say no more virtual cues, so they
get over right away. I mean, even better if they
said let's bring back fast pass too, and would.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Bring a lot of good will their way and.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
The price of annual passes what they were ten years ago.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Now you're speaking my language.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
It don't think that's happening. By the way, did you
know that, I don't know. If we talked about this,
Deadpool is doing story time right now?
Speaker 3 (22:09):
That's it?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Campus Yeah, over in Yeah, and I heard he Uh,
they had to tone him down a little bit.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Because he brought up a certain lawsuit that's going on.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
He brought up a lot of things. I think that
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
I don't know who's who's scripting Deadpool over in California, but.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
They probably need a little bit of an oversight and management.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Some quality control going on over there.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Perhaps, Yeah, perhaps just run that one through the filter
before putting it out there.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Just just a thought.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Is Mickey's Is Mickey's hot and not so scary? Sold
out just for the rest of the season. Is that
that done?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
I believe it's sold out for the next two years?
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
I love how these companies could just print money during
the holidays there, during during Halloween.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Oh my god, you want do you want the actual,
non sarcastic answer. Yeah, you just sold out through September twentieth.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Okay, well that's three weeks ahead. Yeah, I mean you
could still get a ticket. Can you get a ticket?
Speaker 3 (23:06):
How did Disney tickets work nowadays?
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Say I bought a ticket and I wanted to turn
around and sell it in the black market for a profit,
Not that I would do such a thing.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
You cannot, but is that possible. No, it's tied to
your name. Just buy it. Like what if you got
a paper ticket from like a box office window.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Yeah, like one of those people you know that on
the side of the road they always say Disney tickets
twenty nine ninety nine.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Those guys, it's tied to your ID.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
I don't like this, this big brother. It's a little
too big brothery for me. I just want to do
a little black market selling. I don't know why we
can't have this anymore.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
The Theme Park Podcast does not condone any of the
comments that Brian Dickerman has made in the last two minutes.
One hundred and forty nine dollars is how much the
next one costs?
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Good gravy?
Speaker 4 (23:50):
All right, Well you can still if you if you
are financially challenged. But you really want to do a
Halloween invent at a theme park, I think you can.
It's SeaWorld hollowscreen tickets for like fifty bucks right now,
if you want to buy them early. Yes, that's the
problem people face. They don't like to buy early and
safe because they don't like to think about it. They
don't want to make planned, they don't want to plan
that far ahead and the end a paying one hundred
(24:11):
and twelve bucks instead of twenty five or thirty or forty.
Just just pass it out there. Buy your tickets early.
