What happens when creative theme park fans decide to imagine the absolute worst possible Disney lands? We're about to find out while sipping on one of Epcot's most unusual cocktails.
We kick things off by sampling the La Cava Avocado from La Hacienda de San Angel in the Mexico Pavilion – a unique $19 concoction featuring tequila, Midori, fresh avocado, lime juice, and agave. With its smoothie-like consistency and surprising flavor profile, this drink proves to be unexpectedly enjoyable and potentially a sleeper hit for our year-end list.
Then we unleash our worst (or best?) terrible theme park concepts. "Corporate Land" brings the magic of endless meetings to life with attractions like the TPS Report Coaster that never actually leaves the station and the Annual Shareholders Review Musical. "Tax Season Terrace" features an IRS Audit dark ride and the Deduction Deli where servers take 30% of your food and throw it away right in front of you.
The creativity continues with "Diet Land" (requiring 30,000 mandatory steps), "Dental Kingdom" (featuring the painfully slow "Floss Coaster"), "Plumland" (bathroom-themed attractions with active splash zones), "Potato Land" (celebrating root vegetables with no cleanup stations), and "The Emotionally Repressed Frontier" (where animatronics silently process family issues).
Our most intriguing bad idea might be "Touchstone Land," celebrating Disney's adult-oriented film label with attractions based on hits like "The Rock," "Dead Poets Society," and "Pretty Woman." This concept actually contains elements many Disney fans might genuinely enjoy – proving that sometimes even terrible ideas contain a spark of inspiration.
Join us for this hilarious brainstorming session that blends Disney parks knowledge, nostalgia, and creativity into one unforgettable cocktail of an episode. What's your favorite terrible theme park concept?
Here's who we are and what is in store for you

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome to Cheers to Ears and today we are
drinking the La Cava Avocado.
How can I mess up avocado, laCava Avocado, from La Hacienda
de San Angel in the MexicoPavilion at Epcot?
Yes, and it's made with TrombaBlanco, tequila, melon, orange,
(00:20):
liqueur, fresh Avocado LimeJuice with hibiscus salt rim,
and it sold for $19.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
We have some differences.
We changed it up.
So this is one.
I wanted to look, watch someonemake it online on YouTube.
So did the YouTube search.
This asked for orange melonliqueur, which we had Cointreau,
but he just put in the Midori,right, so that's all we did.
We did two ounces.
(00:47):
We did switch up the tequila,jose Cuervo Reposado, so we
didn't use a Blanco tequila, buttwo ounces of tequila, one
ounce of Midori, half an avocado, an ounce of agave syrup, half
an avocado, an ounce of agavesyrup which it didn't say agave
syrup on that list and then anounce of fresh squeezed lime
(01:12):
juice and, yeah, blended.
We didn't do the salt rim.
I don't like a salt rim.
Anyway, you don't like a saltrim and I don't care about a
salt rim, you can go either way.
So I thought about it and Ilooked we could have got the
hibiscus salt, but I thought,well, we've used that one time.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
I never say, ooh, that salt rim really makes the
drink yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I never come out that way for me and I've had ooh,
that salt rim screwed that drinkright up.
Thank you, gurgling Suitcase atOld Key West Again with that
drink.
So it has the consistencieslike drinking a mashed banana.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, it is.
That's exactly what it is.
It's like a smoothie Smoothie,avocado smoothie.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
So we pulverized the ice that was in it.
Oh, it had a cup of ice in itas well.
It's got a, I don't know.
The initial taste is like sweetavocado, maybe it's kind of
unique, and then the tequilahits and the Midori, the alcohol
(02:14):
, hits second.
But the sweetness of theavocado and the syrup and the
lime juice, I think, is whatwell, the avocado and agave, I
think, hit first and then itends with lime juice, and the
lime juice, I think, is whatwell, the avocado and agave, I
think, hit first and then itends with lime juice and the
alcohol.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
It's very different.
It's not our normal drink atall.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
It is very different Right, which is why I've been
wanting to try it.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah, we need to get different drinks.
We need to.
I mean, we try to go away fromthe fruity drinks that we always
have sometimes, and this isdefinitely away from that, and
you've been talking about thisfor months.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Yeah.
So this makes me wonder, though, doing something like this, but
like a banana margarita in thesame way, but with banana
instead, take away the avocado,put banana in and put banana in.
I don't know if I'd put theMidori in then, or if I might
(03:08):
put just Cointreau, I don't know, I think.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Midori.
I think there should be bothOkay.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Orange, lemon, orange , melon, banana and we're going
to make one for Christy.
Thank you, Christy.
After we're done.
I don't know if that's a thankyou, Christy.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
No, thank you, christy, after we're done.
I don't know if that's a thankyou, christy.
No, because we're making onefor her, just saying it.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
It's the thing we say , it's the.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Thing.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Okay, yeah, but we're going to make one with
Cointreau and try the difference.
Afterwards We'll probably putan ounce.
So it was an ounce of basicallyeverything except for the
tequila, which was two ounces.
So it have an extra ounce ofQuantro.
Good, so we'll try that,because we'll take a sip of that
one and see how that, yeah,changes it, because that might
(03:50):
be that really might be the wayto go is, with the Quantro, I'll
take two sips, because shegrabbed two sips.
Yeah, she grabbed two or threesips, all right, and she
polished off your shades ofgreen.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
She did Our last week's drink, yeah, last week's
drink, yeah, that, um, yeah, wejust had a minute ago.
So today we're talking about Idon't know, this isn't really
tying to the drink bad landideas.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
This could have been a bad drink.
This could have been a baddrink yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
So maybe these are great land ideas we're talking
about, because this is a prettygood drink.
This is going to be up.
I mean, it's not going to beprobably maybe top five or ten,
but it could.
It could sneak in there.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
The more we think about it, we reflect on it,
because this one's just sodifferent than anything we've
had.
It might be a sneaker pick.
Yeah, it's one that.
Yeah it just it might be sneakyRight, sneak up into that top
five ten Right Of the year fornext year's episode.
Yeah, very different, verydifferent, very different, okay.
(04:45):
So, anyway, we came up withsome bad land ideas, bad land
ideas, and yeah, we'll see Imight have snuck in a couple of
good ideas in these bad ideas.
Oh, just because I starteddoing it, it's like, oh, I'll do
that, and then I thought, oh,that actually sounds like a good
idea.
I don't think I have any goodideas.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
So, overall, though, mine are bad the land ideas are
bad and for once we did the samekind of thing.
I did two rides per land, so Idid this.
We talked about this before Aslogan for the land Land name
slogan.
I did two rides every land, oneshow.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
And then I did like three food items.
Oh, you did food items.
I did around ideas, onerestaurant idea.
Okay, I just did one or two andthen, but I might have added
some of them, I might have addedfood if it were appropriate,
okay, but mostly it was the.
I think it was mostly just the.
The theming of the restaurantis what I was going for.
(05:46):
Yeah, that's a good idea too,to stick with it.
Okay, want me to start?
I'll let you start this.
Okay, I started last week.
Okay, sounds good.
My first one's.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Corporate Land Okay, the magic of meetings never ends
in Corporate Land.
Nice, right the rides.
The TPS Report Coaster is thefirst ride.
It's a spreadsheet-themedroller coaster that never
actually takes off.
Instead, it loops endlesslythrough HR paperwork.
The first roller coaster, okay,okay.
(06:16):
The second one is the ElevatorPitch Drop.
Guests give a fake productpitch while dropping six stories
Nice.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Slow or fast.
Slow Okay, like medium, fastyeah.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Like regular elevator speed.
Okay, my show.
My show is the AnnualShareholders Review, the Musical
, and it is a jazz hands heavyPowerPoint presentation about
quarterly earnings with songslike Synergy is you and Me and
(06:49):
some food ideas a bag ofconference almonds, a power
lunch, protein slurry and theflat diet Coke at room
temperature.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Nice, there's my first one.
Okay, I think so I I'm gonnajump ahead To one of mine, cause
it ties in Really closely tothat.
Okay, so it's called Tax SeasonTerrorist.
It is close.
Explore the world of write-offsand tax credits.
So the first ride the IRS AuditOffice.
(07:24):
It's a dark ride theme aroundheading to your local IRS office
to go through an audit.
It includes finding hiddendeductions throughout the ride,
like finding hidden Mickeys.
Oh yeah yeah, you got to findhidden deductions.
The ride like finding hidden.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Mickeys.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Oh, yeah, yeah you got to find hidden deductions in
your dog friend.
Is this fun to do as you gothrough your audit?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah, that's not boring.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
And at the end they tell you how much you owe,
always owe, yeah.
So second one is the ScroogeMcDuck spinner oh, so I did tie
in a little bit of IP into there.
Spinner oh, so I did tie in alittle bit of IP into there.
But if it's tax finance related, you kind of have to use
Scrooge McDuck in my mind.
But it's a carousel where youride different forms of currency
(08:05):
and Scrooge McDuck giveshelpful tips on frugality over a
loudspeaker.
So you know most of them.
You're riding horses with KingArthur's carousel or Jesse's
critter carousel.
You ride different critters.
So this one, you ride differentforms of currency, but instead
of music playing, it's just himgiving you frugality tips.
(08:26):
That's awesome.
And then there's the WoodrowWilson Hall of Shame.
It's a theater show where welearn all about Woodrow Wilson
screwing us over with thecreation of the IRS and the
Federal Reserve.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I love it.
Yeah, there's.
I mean there's not a goodWoodrow Wilson ride anywhere.
No, you know, for good reason,right, he does have an
animatronic.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
He does, but he is a bad land idea.
And then there's the deductiondeli.
Oh, okay, that's the food placeto get food.
Food place.
Yeah, so all foods named afterpopular tax deductions.
But the catch of the restaurantis your server takes 30% of
(09:13):
your food back.
Run is your server takes 30% ofyour food back and they can
either eat it there in front ofyou or they can be like the
government and just waste it orjust throw it away.
Like, throw it away, just throwit away right in front of you.
Yeah, right in front of you.
Take 30% of your food back andjust throw it in the garbage
Right in front of you.
I like that.
So that is Tax Season Terrace.
(09:35):
That's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
My next one's called Mild Peril Island.
Okay, you'll almost feelslightly unsafe, just slightly.
Yeah, has the haunted crosswalkwhere you dodge slow-moving
ghostly pedestrians in ananimatronic village with vaguely
confusing traffic signals.
(09:56):
Okay, they move really slow.
I mean it's not even dodginganything, it's like really slow
moving.
The Escalator of Dread is mynext one.
Okay, okay, a gentle movingwalkway that suddenly stops and
makes a weird grinding noise.
So it's like one of thoseairport walkway things.
Yeah, right, it moves along, itjust kind of stops once in a
(10:17):
while and goes gone.
The show Evacuation Drill Live.
So you go in the theater Every30 minutes.
They escort you out.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Evacuate.
Please head In a friendlymanner.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
There could be animatronics doing it too, like
the animatronic janitor.
That's fancy.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
With a little flashlight with the wand.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
That's spending money on the place Nice.
Some foods are the mysterychili served lukewarm.
The unlabeled snack packs,those are good, yeah.
And the is this chicken nuggets.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
What part of the chicken nuggets?
Okay, that's my next one.
Yeah, okay, my next one Dietland.
30,000 steps mandatory is thecatchphrase there the cardio
(11:16):
coaster.
So you know how coasters havethat initial.
Where you go up, yeah, yeah,this one.
Everybody has to pedal to thetop of the hill.
Okay, the rest is all gravity,but that part you've got to
pedal up to the top.
Okay, there's no launching.
There's no, yeah, none of that,or or gears cranking you to the
top.
No, okay, there's no launching.
(11:36):
There's no, yeah, none of that,or or gears cranking you to the
top.
No, you've got a.
You and everybody else on theride has to pedal to the top.
Nice, like it.
Another distinct feature ofthis is it's it's literally like
a mile away from the rest ofthe park, on a path, and you, so
you've got to walk a mile toget there and a mile to get back
(11:56):
.
Yeah, treadmill, time machine,so think spaceship, earth,
except it walks you through thehistory of fitness.
So, you have a screen in frontof you and you're on a treadmill
and you're just walking, justwalking, and it gives you the
history of fitness, jane Fondaand Richard Simmons, and it
gives you the history of fitness, jane Fonda and Richard Simmons
(12:17):
, and maybe we could get JudyDench to narrate again like she
did.
Spaceship Earth, who knows?
So a little more old IP, useMinnie and Daisy's spin class
show.
Join Daisy and Minnie as theytake you through an interactive
spin class Okay, or a Zumbaclass.
You through an interactive spinclass Okay, or Zumba class or
(12:37):
some form of a class.
So Minnie is the encouragingone, and Daisy, though, is
giving you like the backhandedcompliments Mm-hmm, you'd look
great if you lost 10 pounds.
You know comments like that.
So that's their interaction, as, as you go into this, I would,
(12:58):
I would ride their.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Peloton rides?
Yeah, if Mickey and Minnie andDaisy are the instructors,
that'd be fun.
So that's about what it is.
Yeah, they should do that.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
So the food location is Goofy's Rice Cake Emporium.
All things diet food rice cakes, lean, bland protein cottage
cheese, fresh veggies, plainyogurt and fruit smoothies.
So that's just it Rice cakes,rice cakes With some plain
(13:29):
yogurt.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
That's a bad idea.
So diet land yeah, that's a badidea.
My next one is D kingdom.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I almost did dental kingdom Really, and I just nah
I'm not going to do dentalkingdom.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Every visit's a filling adventure.
The floss coaster Is onePainfully slow suspended ride
that tangles guests betweengiant mowers.
Nice, that might actually befun.
The enamel drop is experiencedthe heartbreak of dental erosion
(14:04):
.
In 4d it's like the let's bringit back the old Muppets.
Yeah, the 4d version right.
Yeah, the show is cavitycrusaders live, we're animated
Mowers, fight black monsterswhile singing brush, tell you
believe.
And the food is raw celerysticks, listerine popsicles and
(14:33):
sugar-free regret.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Nice, excellent Dental land, dental land, so I
have Tomorrowland because it's abad land idea.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
That's good.
I should have had Small Worldas a ride.
All right, Small World, exactlylike it is so Tomorrowland, but
the 1980s version?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Okay, so the show I'll start off with.
The show is VHS Library.
Okay, so they just randomly popan old Disney VHS into the
cassette player and that's whatyou're watching.
Okay, yeah, and as they degrade, the show gets worse.
Oh, yeah.
Because it's all got all thescratchiness and everything like
(15:15):
that.
Fix the tracking Right, but no,no fixing the tracking.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
It's all going to be bad.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
So Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters as is.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Sorry, a lot of people will not know what fix
the tracking means no, theywon't.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I know People younger than us, and that's okay.
Yeah, you're going to have tolook it up, yeah, sorry, yeah,
so Buzz Lightyear's AstroBlasters, because that just
feels 80s as is.
As is.
It just moved in the synth roomInteractive attraction with a
(15:52):
room full of synthesizers anddrum machines where you create
your own 80s hits.
Nice, yeah, that's not bad.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, I kind of like that one so, but most people
have no musical talent, so,right, it's just gonna be a lot
of noise, right the uh, the popculture museum up in seattle,
uh-huh has rooms you can go intolike soundproof rooms and they
have guitars in there and drumsthat you can play.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Oh, that's kind of cool.
It's kind of fun.
If I'm ever up there, I mighthave to try that out.
You should go, it's great.
So this is this entered in.
This is a great idea.
Okay, the return of Captain EOyeah, oh yeah, I think the it
should happen, at least itshould happen.
It should be on one of thoselike once a year, they should
(16:37):
bring it back for a month.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Once every five years or something, yeah, something
where it comes back for a fewdays or months, I guess, because
days want to be in and the sametheater.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
you know that it's now Tomorrowland, but that one,
as I was kind of creating this,I thought about Captain EO,
which was very 80s.
I remember the first time I sawit, but it was great, yes, and
I do remember watching it acouple of times, I think.
So food Galaxy Grill yeah, done, done.
(17:08):
So, horrible idea for a Cast.
Members are dressed in brightneon, but same crappy theme park
food, same food.
Yeah, same food.
It's just they're all dressedin neon, pinks and turquoise and
, yeah, yellow, except for.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I was just.
I've been thinking about ourSeptember trip, if it's still
there, to get the Magic KeySlider Trio at Galactic Grill.
It looks kind of good.
It might be Maybe, I don't know, maybe we just split it.
I'm scared.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I'm scared.
So, completely off topic, Inoticed that Bengal Barbecue is
doing breakfast now.
Oh, spam rice and scrambledeggs.
Are you serious?
Yeah, which actually sounded.
They called it spiced ham.
They didn't call it spam, right.
Yeah, which actually sounded.
They called it Spiced Ham.
They didn't call it Spam, right.
But I was like you might haveto try that.
That sounds interesting.
Yeah, anyway, that'sTomorrowland 1980s version.
(17:56):
That's awesome, which isn'tmuch different than the current
Tomorrowland, sorry to saythat's funny.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yeah, that's a good one.
My next one's called Plumland.
Okay, where magic goes to flush, has the toilet bowl twister.
A spinning teacup ride inside amassive toilet Splash zone
highly active, and the pipe rustrapids.
(18:24):
The guest ride plungers down awater slide themed as a clogged
sewer system.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Does it unclog and it all comes squishing out?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
That's not in the description.
We're not going to even talkabout that.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
That would be funny, like Tiana's, where it just kind
of gets hung up and then all ofa sudden you come flying out
and there's like chunks oftoilet paper floating with you.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
That'd be funny.
Funny is the word you're using.
Okay, and my never musical.
I like musicals, I'm a hugemusical.
Yeah, I was just watchinghamilton the other day.
Okay, right, this is calledclogged the musical, a 45 minute
show about septic systemsstarring animatronic plungers
(19:08):
with dreams.
Yeah, it's kind of like themops and mickey's fantasia it's
too bad they couldn't get fromchristmas vacation.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Like a song in there called shitters full right,
chris, is there a christmasvacation?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
the musical, because that's a great idea probably not
.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
I know that's a great idea I should send.
I know that's a great idea.
I should send that idea toRandy Quaid Right On X.
That's funny.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yeah, that's funny Some food is mystery drained
nachos oh the pipe sundae servedin a mini urinal.
Oh Okay ready for the worst one?
Yeah, okay, okay, ready Brown.
Worst one yeah, okay, okayready.
Brown sludge smoothies.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
There's nothing about eating there, that would be
enticing at all.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I hate this land, so.
I was like some meatball dish,but like yeah, ooh, I know
Disney doesn't own south park.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Mr hanky, hello kids as a meet and greet.
Oh and if he were covered in?
Like some brown slime hopsaround, so all the kids got
covered in brown slime as he puthis arms around him.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
That's the worst part I've ever heard it's getting
worse as we talk about it.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Oh yeah, there's some good ones there.
Okay, so you're all done withthat one.
Yeah, I'm done with that one.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I mean we could probably come up with more.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
We can keep going.
My next one Potato LandCelebration of root vegetables.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
That's kind of a thing.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
People talk about Potato Land all the time,
because it's part of Mickey andMinnie's vacation fun.
But no, let's really make one.
And not just a potato, butcelebration of root vegetables.
So there's a children'sinteractive garden exhibit.
Young children can dig throughthe dirt, planting and
harvesting, but there's no placeto clean up.
Yeah, they just dig throughdirt and mud, right?
(21:19):
Yeah, like the bone graveyardat Dinosaur.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Land.
I think Silverwood up in Idahomight take this idea from you.
They could yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
The veggie gondolas right around potato land from up
high in various rootvegetable-shaped vehicles so you
can ride a potato or turn up arutabaga.
That could come out so wrong.
Yeah, but you're just a gondolain the sky.
That could look so bad.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Maybe a carrot.
It could look like.
What's his name?
Dr Evil, Dr Evil's ship.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
It could, it could.
You have to look at him frombelow.
But, yes, various rootvegetables.
It's going to be a PG-13 landbefore you know it.
Yeah, okay, go ahead.
Mickey's Garden Show.
Watch a short animated filmwhere Mickey tries to grow a
garden while dealing with thehijinks of his friends Goofy and
Donald.
(22:21):
So it's a throwback of the oldMickey cartoons that are like
seven minutes long, from the 40sand 30s and way back then.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
You can have a living with the land.
But you just watch a guy garden.
There you go, Just sit in atheater.
A man with a hoe yeah, likeman's hoe in his land.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Oh, there you go.
That would be a good musical.
A Hoe and a Dream.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
It's also the new Jay-Z album, yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Probably get sued by Jay-Z.
Hey, that was my idea.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
I released that in 1995.
You finished it.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I just finished it.
Yes, okay.
And of course, the food optionis just a baked potato shack
Okay, so baked potato withvarious toppings is just a baked
potato shack.
Okay, so baked potato withvarious toppings, that's not bad
at all.
Yeah, that's pretty good.
I thought about including likeoccasional root vegetable stew.
That sounds good too.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Yeah, a little turnip , so it's a place I go for food.
Yeah, I like the food there.
Okay, so that's potato land.
After my gross one one, it'snot too bad.
Yeah, my, my next one.
My last one is the emotionallyrepressed frontier okay
adventure that you don't want totalk about.
I don't like where this isgoing, as the pioneer panic
(23:44):
suppressor is a ride.
Guests travel in wagons throughtheir unresolved family issues,
but quietly.
Then I have this.
I don't have a train coaster atall yet.
This is the Cry Inside MineTrain, a train ride into
(24:06):
mountains of passive-aggressiveanimatronics and unsaid goodbyes
.
Nice, the show.
I like musicals, but this isthe opposite of musical.
Okay, right, this is Don't TalkAbout it.
The Silent Spectacular 30minutes of people staying on
stage looking off in thedistance as subtle piano music
(24:28):
plays.
That's it.
Not wanting to talk about it.
No, talking, no musical.
The food is the bottled upbarbecue, the grilled feelings
and a single dry core breadmuffin served with a strained.
I'm fine.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
That's my last one.
That's a good one.
Okay, my last one.
The anti good one.
Okay, my last one.
The anti-musical yeah,touchstone Land, where Disney
celebrates less than wholesomeentertainment.
So throughout the 80s, throughthe 2000s.
That's a good one.
You have some good ideas, sothrough the 2000s, but they
would be like no one wouldreally go.
(25:07):
But through the 2000s, 80s,through the 2000s, disney, if
you are unaware, used to do hadTouchstone.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Right, that's you know, I thought there was some
good Touchstone movies on here.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
There are great Touchstone movies.
But when they, what were youdoing wrong with it?
When Disney wanted to release amovie that they couldn't, as a
Disney movie, right, theyreleased it under the Touchstone
banner.
So a lot of great ones, a lotof great movies from Touchstone.
So first ride, the Rock,alcatraz Escape, a thrilling
(25:41):
roller coaster based on themovie the Rock.
Okay, that was a good movie.
You're trying to get out ofthere before the bomb goes off.
And so the Hollywood Studios.
They had the great movie ride.
Well, this is the greatTouchstone movie ride.
So it's just Touchstone moviesthroughout.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
And so I like this and that's arguably yes, that
would be one that people wouldbe more than happy.
People who love the great movieride and were sad to see it be
turned into Mickey and Minnie'sRunaway Railway, that would be
one that they'd want to see.
So the theater show Dead PoetsSociety, carpe Diem Live Stage
(26:27):
show of the Dead Poets Society,that's good, too Good movie.
So I did have two food ideasfor this one the Beverly Dining
Room.
It's a pretty woman characterdining.
So you know the formerprostitute comes walking around
in either her prostitute garb orher Richard Gere garb, richard
(26:51):
Gere, garb Greeting tables ofchildren.
I thought about making thislike a 16 or older land, but
Richard Gere lookalikes walkingthrough, okay, didn't Jason
Alexander play the lawyer?
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I think maybe.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Yeah, I was trying to remember back because I haven't
watched it in a long time.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I'm looking at the list of movies, of touchstone
movies now, yeah, and I haven'tseen any of them in years, but
but there's a lot of good ones.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I like a lot of them, yeah.
So, and then the quick serviceis courtroom cafe quick service,
celebrating all the touchstonemovies themed on or containing
elements of courtrooms.
So it was like runaway jury theverdict.
I like runaway jury, a ton,right.
They've done a ton of courtroomstylestyle movies, so it would
(27:43):
be a quick service,courtroom-themed quick service
related to that Like it.
So this is yeah, this was theone that was like oh, this,
actually some of it sounds kindof interesting.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
So a couple quick touchstone things right here
that I just looked it up.
Highest grossing touchstonepicture Armageddon.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Yes, I almost included Armageddon $553 million
.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
And then Nightmare Before Christmas was a
Touchstone movie when it cameout, yes, but then they realized
it wasn't that bad and then itcould be a Disney movie, so they
changed the label to Disney, toDisney.
So now when you watch it itsays Disney in the beginning,
not Touchstone.
But so now when you watch it itsays Disney in the beginning,
not Touchstone.
But yeah, such a good movie.
Good Morning Vietnam.
Color of Money Down and Out ofBeverly Hills.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit, whichagain who.
(28:28):
Framed Roger.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Rabbit, they've got rides for who Framed Roger
Rabbit.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Water Boy.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Ed Wood yeah, water Boy isn't a Disney movie.
No Well, most of these aren't.
Good Morning Vietnam might bemy favorite touchstone that I
saw.
That might be my favorite too.
I wonder if they had a contractwith I really like the color of
money, though Robin Williams,because they had him in Dead
Poets Society and Good MorningVietnam.
The Royal Tannenbaums have youseen that one?
(28:56):
Oh, wes Anderson okay, I'm abig Wes Anderson fan.
Yeah, I'm a big Wes Anderson,so many.
Yeah, I'm a big Wes Andersonfan, right.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
They've had lots of nominations for Academy Award
for Best Picture Deb Poe,society Insider, the Help, war
Horses, lincoln and BridgetSpies all nominated for Best
Picture.
Oh, I didn't realize, the Helpwas Touchstone.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Crazy.
Okay, you just brought that allup.
I haven't thought of Touchstonefor years.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Yeah, I just knew that they were, because I mostly
remember the 80s of when it wasthem trying to get away with
making R-rated movies.
If they wanted to make anR-rated movie, they made it with
Touchstone.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Right.
So you won with the best badpark idea, which one was that
the Touchstone Park, that's agood yeah, that's a good park.
And I think my crappy one crap,the crappiest idea yeah, and
the whole thing, yeah.
So those are our bad park ideas.
Yeah, we broke them down foryou brooke had a, a new drink.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
They could have gone south and it didn't just like
these lands.
We might go have another, andsometimes they just don't right.
It's all good, but until nexttime, cheers.
Hello and welcome to Cheers to Ears and today we are
drinking the La Cava Avocado.
How can I mess up avocado, laCava Avocado, from La Hacienda
de San Angel in the MexicoPavilion at Epcot?
Yes, and it's made with TrombaBlanco, tequila, melon, orange,
(00:20):
liqueur, fresh Avocado LimeJuice with hibiscus salt rim,
and it sold for $19.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
We have some differences.
We changed it up.
So this is one.
I wanted to look, watch someonemake it online on YouTube.
So did the YouTube search.
This asked for orange melonliqueur, which we had Cointreau,
but he just put in the Midori,right, so that's all we did.
We did two ounces.
(00:47):
We did switch up the tequila,jose Cuervo Reposado, so we
didn't use a Blanco tequila, buttwo ounces of tequila, one
ounce of Midori, half an avocado, an ounce of agave syrup, half
an avocado, an ounce of agavesyrup which it didn't say agave
syrup on that list and then anounce of fresh squeezed lime
(01:12):
juice and, yeah, blended.
We didn't do the salt rim.
I don't like a salt rim.
Anyway, you don't like a saltrim and I don't care about a
salt rim, you can go either way.
So I thought about it and Ilooked we could have got the
hibiscus salt, but I thought,well, we've used that one time.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
I never say, ooh, that salt rim really makes the
drink yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I never come out that way for me and I've had ooh,
that salt rim screwed that drinkright up.
Thank you, gurgling Suitcase atOld Key West Again with that
drink.
So it has the consistencieslike drinking a mashed banana.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, it is.
That's exactly what it is.
It's like a smoothie Smoothie,avocado smoothie.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
So we pulverized the ice that was in it.
Oh, it had a cup of ice in itas well.
It's got a, I don't know.
The initial taste is like sweetavocado, maybe it's kind of
unique, and then the tequilahits and the Midori, the alcohol
(02:14):
, hits second.
But the sweetness of theavocado and the syrup and the
lime juice, I think, is whatwell, the avocado and agave, I
think, hit first and then itends with lime juice, and the
lime juice, I think, is whatwell, the avocado and agave, I
think, hit first and then itends with lime juice and the
alcohol.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
It's very different.
It's not our normal drink atall.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
It is very different Right, which is why I've been
wanting to try it.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah, we need to get different drinks.
We need to.
I mean, we try to go away fromthe fruity drinks that we always
have sometimes, and this isdefinitely away from that, and
you've been talking about thisfor months.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Yeah.
So this makes me wonder, though, doing something like this, but
like a banana margarita in thesame way, but with banana
instead, take away the avocado,put banana in and put banana in.
I don't know if I'd put theMidori in then, or if I might
(03:08):
put just Cointreau, I don't know, I think.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Midori.
I think there should be bothOkay.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Orange, lemon, orange , melon, banana and we're going
to make one for Christy.
Thank you, Christy.
After we're done.
I don't know if that's a thankyou, Christy.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
No, thank you, christy, after we're done.
I don't know if that's a thankyou, christy.
No, because we're making onefor her, just saying it.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
It's the thing we say , it's the.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Thing.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Okay, yeah, but we're going to make one with
Cointreau and try the difference.
Afterwards We'll probably putan ounce.
So it was an ounce of basicallyeverything except for the
tequila, which was two ounces.
So it have an extra ounce ofQuantro.
Good, so we'll try that,because we'll take a sip of that
one and see how that, yeah,changes it, because that might
(03:50):
be that really might be the wayto go is, with the Quantro, I'll
take two sips, because shegrabbed two sips.
Yeah, she grabbed two or threesips, all right, and she
polished off your shades ofgreen.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
She did Our last week's drink, yeah, last week's
drink, yeah, that, um, yeah, wejust had a minute ago.
So today we're talking about Idon't know, this isn't really
tying to the drink bad landideas.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
This could have been a bad drink.
This could have been a baddrink yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
So maybe these are great land ideas we're talking
about, because this is a prettygood drink.
This is going to be up.
I mean, it's not going to beprobably maybe top five or ten,
but it could.
It could sneak in there.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
The more we think about it, we reflect on it,
because this one's just sodifferent than anything we've
had.
It might be a sneaker pick.
Yeah, it's one that.
Yeah it just it might be sneakyRight, sneak up into that top
five ten Right Of the year fornext year's episode.
Yeah, very different, verydifferent, very different, okay.
(04:45):
So, anyway, we came up withsome bad land ideas, bad land
ideas, and yeah, we'll see Imight have snuck in a couple of
good ideas in these bad ideas.
Oh, just because I starteddoing it, it's like, oh, I'll do
that, and then I thought, oh,that actually sounds like a good
idea.
I don't think I have any goodideas.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
So, overall, though, mine are bad the land ideas are
bad and for once we did the samekind of thing.
I did two rides per land, so Idid this.
We talked about this before Aslogan for the land Land name
slogan.
I did two rides every land, oneshow.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
And then I did like three food items.
Oh, you did food items.
I did around ideas, onerestaurant idea.
Okay, I just did one or two andthen, but I might have added
some of them, I might have addedfood if it were appropriate,
okay, but mostly it was the.
I think it was mostly just the.
The theming of the restaurantis what I was going for.
(05:46):
Yeah, that's a good idea too,to stick with it.
Okay, want me to start?
I'll let you start this.
Okay, I started last week.
Okay, sounds good.
My first one's.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Corporate Land Okay, the magic of meetings never ends
in Corporate Land.
Nice, right the rides.
The TPS Report Coaster is thefirst ride.
It's a spreadsheet-themedroller coaster that never
actually takes off.
Instead, it loops endlesslythrough HR paperwork.
The first roller coaster, okay,okay.
(06:16):
The second one is the ElevatorPitch Drop.
Guests give a fake productpitch while dropping six stories
Nice.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Slow or fast.
Slow Okay, like medium, fastyeah.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Like regular elevator speed.
Okay, my show.
My show is the AnnualShareholders Review, the Musical
, and it is a jazz hands heavyPowerPoint presentation about
quarterly earnings with songslike Synergy is you and Me and
(06:49):
some food ideas a bag ofconference almonds, a power
lunch, protein slurry and theflat diet Coke at room
temperature.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Nice, there's my first one.
Okay, I think so I I'm gonnajump ahead To one of mine, cause
it ties in Really closely tothat.
Okay, so it's called Tax SeasonTerrorist.
It is close.
Explore the world of write-offsand tax credits.
So the first ride the IRS AuditOffice.
(07:24):
It's a dark ride theme aroundheading to your local IRS office
to go through an audit.
It includes finding hiddendeductions throughout the ride,
like finding hidden Mickeys.
Oh yeah yeah, you got to findhidden deductions.
The ride like finding hidden.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Mickeys.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Oh, yeah, yeah you got to find hidden deductions in
your dog friend.
Is this fun to do as you gothrough your audit?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah, that's not boring.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
And at the end they tell you how much you owe,
always owe, yeah.
So second one is the ScroogeMcDuck spinner oh, so I did tie
in a little bit of IP into there.
Spinner oh, so I did tie in alittle bit of IP into there.
But if it's tax finance related, you kind of have to use
Scrooge McDuck in my mind.
But it's a carousel where youride different forms of currency
(08:05):
and Scrooge McDuck giveshelpful tips on frugality over a
loudspeaker.
So you know most of them.
You're riding horses with KingArthur's carousel or Jesse's
critter carousel.
You ride different critters.
So this one, you ride differentforms of currency, but instead
of music playing, it's just himgiving you frugality tips.
(08:26):
That's awesome.
And then there's the WoodrowWilson Hall of Shame.
It's a theater show where welearn all about Woodrow Wilson
screwing us over with thecreation of the IRS and the
Federal Reserve.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I love it.
Yeah, there's.
I mean there's not a goodWoodrow Wilson ride anywhere.
No, you know, for good reason,right, he does have an
animatronic.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
He does, but he is a bad land idea.
And then there's the deductiondeli.
Oh, okay, that's the food placeto get food.
Food place.
Yeah, so all foods named afterpopular tax deductions.
But the catch of the restaurantis your server takes 30% of
(09:13):
your food back.
Run is your server takes 30% ofyour food back and they can
either eat it there in front ofyou or they can be like the
government and just waste it orjust throw it away.
Like, throw it away, just throwit away right in front of you.
Yeah, right in front of you.
Take 30% of your food back andjust throw it in the garbage
Right in front of you.
I like that.
So that is Tax Season Terrace.
(09:35):
That's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
My next one's called Mild Peril Island.
Okay, you'll almost feelslightly unsafe, just slightly.
Yeah, has the haunted crosswalkwhere you dodge slow-moving
ghostly pedestrians in ananimatronic village with vaguely
confusing traffic signals.
(09:56):
Okay, they move really slow.
I mean it's not even dodginganything, it's like really slow
moving.
The Escalator of Dread is mynext one.
Okay, okay, a gentle movingwalkway that suddenly stops and
makes a weird grinding noise.
So it's like one of thoseairport walkway things.
Yeah, right, it moves along, itjust kind of stops once in a
(10:17):
while and goes gone.
The show Evacuation Drill Live.
So you go in the theater Every30 minutes.
They escort you out.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Evacuate.
Please head In a friendlymanner.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
There could be animatronics doing it too, like
the animatronic janitor.
That's fancy.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
With a little flashlight with the wand.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
That's spending money on the place Nice.
Some foods are the mysterychili served lukewarm.
The unlabeled snack packs,those are good, yeah.
And the is this chicken nuggets.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
What part of the chicken nuggets?
Okay, that's my next one.
Yeah, okay, my next one Dietland.
30,000 steps mandatory is thecatchphrase there the cardio
(11:16):
coaster.
So you know how coasters havethat initial.
Where you go up, yeah, yeah,this one.
Everybody has to pedal to thetop of the hill.
Okay, the rest is all gravity,but that part you've got to
pedal up to the top.
Okay, there's no launching.
There's no, yeah, none of that,or or gears cranking you to the
top.
No, okay, there's no launching.
(11:36):
There's no, yeah, none of that,or or gears cranking you to the
top.
No, you've got a.
You and everybody else on theride has to pedal to the top.
Nice, like it.
Another distinct feature ofthis is it's it's literally like
a mile away from the rest ofthe park, on a path, and you, so
you've got to walk a mile toget there and a mile to get back
(11:56):
.
Yeah, treadmill, time machine,so think spaceship, earth,
except it walks you through thehistory of fitness.
So, you have a screen in frontof you and you're on a treadmill
and you're just walking, justwalking, and it gives you the
history of fitness, jane Fondaand Richard Simmons, and it
gives you the history of fitness, jane Fonda and Richard Simmons
(12:17):
, and maybe we could get JudyDench to narrate again like she
did.
Spaceship Earth, who knows?
So a little more old IP, useMinnie and Daisy's spin class
show.
Join Daisy and Minnie as theytake you through an interactive
spin class Okay, or a Zumbaclass.
You through an interactive spinclass Okay, or Zumba class or
(12:37):
some form of a class.
So Minnie is the encouragingone, and Daisy, though, is
giving you like the backhandedcompliments Mm-hmm, you'd look
great if you lost 10 pounds.
You know comments like that.
So that's their interaction, as, as you go into this, I would,
(12:58):
I would ride their.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Peloton rides?
Yeah, if Mickey and Minnie andDaisy are the instructors,
that'd be fun.
So that's about what it is.
Yeah, they should do that.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
So the food location is Goofy's Rice Cake Emporium.
All things diet food rice cakes, lean, bland protein cottage
cheese, fresh veggies, plainyogurt and fruit smoothies.
So that's just it Rice cakes,rice cakes With some plain
(13:29):
yogurt.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
That's a bad idea.
So diet land yeah, that's a badidea.
My next one is D kingdom.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I almost did dental kingdom Really, and I just nah
I'm not going to do dentalkingdom.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Every visit's a filling adventure.
The floss coaster Is onePainfully slow suspended ride
that tangles guests betweengiant mowers.
Nice, that might actually befun.
The enamel drop is experiencedthe heartbreak of dental erosion
(14:04):
.
In 4d it's like the let's bringit back the old Muppets.
Yeah, the 4d version right.
Yeah, the show is cavitycrusaders live, we're animated
Mowers, fight black monsterswhile singing brush, tell you
believe.
And the food is raw celerysticks, listerine popsicles and
(14:33):
sugar-free regret.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Nice, excellent Dental land, dental land, so I
have Tomorrowland because it's abad land idea.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
That's good.
I should have had Small Worldas a ride.
All right, Small World, exactlylike it is so Tomorrowland, but
the 1980s version?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Okay, so the show I'll start off with.
The show is VHS Library.
Okay, so they just randomly popan old Disney VHS into the
cassette player and that's whatyou're watching.
Okay, yeah, and as they degrade, the show gets worse.
Oh, yeah.
Because it's all got all thescratchiness and everything like
(15:15):
that.
Fix the tracking Right, but no,no fixing the tracking.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
It's all going to be bad.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
So Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters as is.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Sorry, a lot of people will not know what fix
the tracking means no, theywon't.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I know People younger than us, and that's okay.
Yeah, you're going to have tolook it up, yeah, sorry, yeah,
so Buzz Lightyear's AstroBlasters, because that just
feels 80s as is.
As is.
It just moved in the synth roomInteractive attraction with a
(15:52):
room full of synthesizers anddrum machines where you create
your own 80s hits.
Nice, yeah, that's not bad.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, I kind of like that one so, but most people
have no musical talent, so,right, it's just gonna be a lot
of noise, right the uh, the popculture museum up in seattle,
uh-huh has rooms you can go intolike soundproof rooms and they
have guitars in there and drumsthat you can play.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Oh, that's kind of cool.
It's kind of fun.
If I'm ever up there, I mighthave to try that out.
You should go, it's great.
So this is this entered in.
This is a great idea.
Okay, the return of Captain EOyeah, oh yeah, I think the it
should happen, at least itshould happen.
It should be on one of thoselike once a year, they should
(16:37):
bring it back for a month.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Once every five years or something, yeah, something
where it comes back for a fewdays or months, I guess, because
days want to be in and the sametheater.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
you know that it's now Tomorrowland, but that one,
as I was kind of creating this,I thought about Captain EO,
which was very 80s.
I remember the first time I sawit, but it was great, yes, and
I do remember watching it acouple of times, I think.
So food Galaxy Grill yeah, done, done.
(17:08):
So, horrible idea for a Cast.
Members are dressed in brightneon, but same crappy theme park
food, same food.
Yeah, same food.
It's just they're all dressedin neon, pinks and turquoise and
, yeah, yellow, except for.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I was just.
I've been thinking about ourSeptember trip, if it's still
there, to get the Magic KeySlider Trio at Galactic Grill.
It looks kind of good.
It might be Maybe, I don't know, maybe we just split it.
I'm scared.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I'm scared.
So, completely off topic, Inoticed that Bengal Barbecue is
doing breakfast now.
Oh, spam rice and scrambledeggs.
Are you serious?
Yeah, which actually sounded.
They called it spiced ham.
They didn't call it spam, right.
Yeah, which actually sounded.
They called it Spiced Ham.
They didn't call it Spam, right.
But I was like you might haveto try that.
That sounds interesting.
Yeah, anyway, that'sTomorrowland 1980s version.
(17:56):
That's awesome, which isn'tmuch different than the current
Tomorrowland, sorry to saythat's funny.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yeah, that's a good one.
My next one's called Plumland.
Okay, where magic goes to flush, has the toilet bowl twister.
A spinning teacup ride inside amassive toilet Splash zone
highly active, and the pipe rustrapids.
(18:24):
The guest ride plungers down awater slide themed as a clogged
sewer system.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Does it unclog and it all comes squishing out?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
That's not in the description.
We're not going to even talkabout that.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
That would be funny, like Tiana's, where it just kind
of gets hung up and then all ofa sudden you come flying out
and there's like chunks oftoilet paper floating with you.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
That'd be funny.
Funny is the word you're using.
Okay, and my never musical.
I like musicals, I'm a hugemusical.
Yeah, I was just watchinghamilton the other day.
Okay, right, this is calledclogged the musical, a 45 minute
show about septic systemsstarring animatronic plungers
(19:08):
with dreams.
Yeah, it's kind of like themops and mickey's fantasia it's
too bad they couldn't get fromchristmas vacation.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Like a song in there called shitters full right,
chris, is there a christmasvacation?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
the musical, because that's a great idea probably not
.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
I know that's a great idea I should send.
I know that's a great idea.
I should send that idea toRandy Quaid Right On X.
That's funny.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yeah, that's funny Some food is mystery drained
nachos oh the pipe sundae servedin a mini urinal.
Oh Okay ready for the worst one?
Yeah, okay, okay, ready Brown.
Worst one yeah, okay, okayready.
Brown sludge smoothies.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
There's nothing about eating there, that would be
enticing at all.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I hate this land, so.
I was like some meatball dish,but like yeah, ooh, I know
Disney doesn't own south park.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Mr hanky, hello kids as a meet and greet.
Oh and if he were covered in?
Like some brown slime hopsaround, so all the kids got
covered in brown slime as he puthis arms around him.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
That's the worst part I've ever heard it's getting
worse as we talk about it.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Oh yeah, there's some good ones there.
Okay, so you're all done withthat one.
Yeah, I'm done with that one.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I mean we could probably come up with more.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
We can keep going.
My next one Potato LandCelebration of root vegetables.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
That's kind of a thing.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
People talk about Potato Land all the time,
because it's part of Mickey andMinnie's vacation fun.
But no, let's really make one.
And not just a potato, butcelebration of root vegetables.
So there's a children'sinteractive garden exhibit.
Young children can dig throughthe dirt, planting and
harvesting, but there's no placeto clean up.
Yeah, they just dig throughdirt and mud, right?
(21:19):
Yeah, like the bone graveyardat Dinosaur.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Land.
I think Silverwood up in Idahomight take this idea from you.
They could yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
The veggie gondolas right around potato land from up
high in various rootvegetable-shaped vehicles so you
can ride a potato or turn up arutabaga.
That could come out so wrong.
Yeah, but you're just a gondolain the sky.
That could look so bad.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Maybe a carrot.
It could look like.
What's his name?
Dr Evil, Dr Evil's ship.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
It could, it could.
You have to look at him frombelow.
But, yes, various rootvegetables.
It's going to be a PG-13 landbefore you know it.
Yeah, okay, go ahead.
Mickey's Garden Show.
Watch a short animated filmwhere Mickey tries to grow a
garden while dealing with thehijinks of his friends Goofy and
Donald.
(22:21):
So it's a throwback of the oldMickey cartoons that are like
seven minutes long, from the 40sand 30s and way back then.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
You can have a living with the land.
But you just watch a guy garden.
There you go, Just sit in atheater.
A man with a hoe yeah, likeman's hoe in his land.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Oh, there you go.
That would be a good musical.
A Hoe and a Dream.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
It's also the new Jay-Z album, yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Probably get sued by Jay-Z.
Hey, that was my idea.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
I released that in 1995.
You finished it.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I just finished it.
Yes, okay.
And of course, the food optionis just a baked potato shack
Okay, so baked potato withvarious toppings is just a baked
potato shack.
Okay, so baked potato withvarious toppings, that's not bad
at all.
Yeah, that's pretty good.
I thought about including likeoccasional root vegetable stew.
That sounds good too.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Yeah, a little turnip , so it's a place I go for food.
Yeah, I like the food there.
Okay, so that's potato land.
After my gross one one, it'snot too bad.
Yeah, my, my next one.
My last one is the emotionallyrepressed frontier okay
adventure that you don't want totalk about.
I don't like where this isgoing, as the pioneer panic
(23:44):
suppressor is a ride.
Guests travel in wagons throughtheir unresolved family issues,
but quietly.
Then I have this.
I don't have a train coaster atall yet.
This is the Cry Inside MineTrain, a train ride into
(24:06):
mountains of passive-aggressiveanimatronics and unsaid goodbyes
.
Nice, the show.
I like musicals, but this isthe opposite of musical.
Okay, right, this is Don't TalkAbout it.
The Silent Spectacular 30minutes of people staying on
stage looking off in thedistance as subtle piano music
(24:28):
plays.
That's it.
Not wanting to talk about it.
No, talking, no musical.
The food is the bottled upbarbecue, the grilled feelings
and a single dry core breadmuffin served with a strained.
I'm fine.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
That's my last one.
That's a good one.
Okay, my last one.
The anti good one.
Okay, my last one.
The anti-musical yeah,touchstone Land, where Disney
celebrates less than wholesomeentertainment.
So throughout the 80s, throughthe 2000s.
That's a good one.
You have some good ideas, sothrough the 2000s, but they
would be like no one wouldreally go.
(25:07):
But through the 2000s, 80s,through the 2000s, disney, if
you are unaware, used to do hadTouchstone.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Right, that's you know, I thought there was some
good Touchstone movies on here.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
There are great Touchstone movies.
But when they, what were youdoing wrong with it?
When Disney wanted to release amovie that they couldn't, as a
Disney movie, right, theyreleased it under the Touchstone
banner.
So a lot of great ones, a lotof great movies from Touchstone.
So first ride, the Rock,alcatraz Escape, a thrilling
(25:41):
roller coaster based on themovie the Rock.
Okay, that was a good movie.
You're trying to get out ofthere before the bomb goes off.
And so the Hollywood Studios.
They had the great movie ride.
Well, this is the greatTouchstone movie ride.
So it's just Touchstone moviesthroughout.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
And so I like this and that's arguably yes, that
would be one that people wouldbe more than happy.
People who love the great movieride and were sad to see it be
turned into Mickey and Minnie'sRunaway Railway, that would be
one that they'd want to see.
So the theater show Dead PoetsSociety, carpe Diem Live Stage
(26:27):
show of the Dead Poets Society,that's good, too Good movie.
So I did have two food ideasfor this one the Beverly Dining
Room.
It's a pretty woman characterdining.
So you know the formerprostitute comes walking around
in either her prostitute garb orher Richard Gere garb, richard
(26:51):
Gere, garb Greeting tables ofchildren.
I thought about making thislike a 16 or older land, but
Richard Gere lookalikes walkingthrough, okay, didn't Jason
Alexander play the lawyer?
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I think maybe.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Yeah, I was trying to remember back because I haven't
watched it in a long time.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I'm looking at the list of movies, of touchstone
movies now, yeah, and I haven'tseen any of them in years, but
but there's a lot of good ones.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I like a lot of them, yeah.
So, and then the quick serviceis courtroom cafe quick service,
celebrating all the touchstonemovies themed on or containing
elements of courtrooms.
So it was like runaway jury theverdict.
I like runaway jury, a ton,right.
They've done a ton of courtroomstylestyle movies, so it would
(27:43):
be a quick service,courtroom-themed quick service
related to that Like it.
So this is yeah, this was theone that was like oh, this,
actually some of it sounds kindof interesting.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
So a couple quick touchstone things right here
that I just looked it up.
Highest grossing touchstonepicture Armageddon.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Yes, I almost included Armageddon $553 million
.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
And then Nightmare Before Christmas was a
Touchstone movie when it cameout, yes, but then they realized
it wasn't that bad and then itcould be a Disney movie, so they
changed the label to Disney, toDisney.
So now when you watch it itsays Disney in the beginning,
not Touchstone.
But so now when you watch it itsays Disney in the beginning,
not Touchstone.
But yeah, such a good movie.
Good Morning Vietnam.
Color of Money Down and Out ofBeverly Hills.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit, whichagain who.
(28:28):
Framed Roger.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Rabbit, they've got rides for who Framed Roger
Rabbit.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Water Boy.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Ed Wood yeah, water Boy isn't a Disney movie.
No Well, most of these aren't.
Good Morning Vietnam might bemy favorite touchstone that I
saw.
That might be my favorite too.
I wonder if they had a contractwith I really like the color of
money, though Robin Williams,because they had him in Dead
Poets Society and Good MorningVietnam.
The Royal Tannenbaums have youseen that one?
(28:56):
Oh, wes Anderson okay, I'm abig Wes Anderson fan.
Yeah, I'm a big Wes Anderson,so many.
Yeah, I'm a big Wes Andersonfan, right.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
They've had lots of nominations for Academy Award
for Best Picture Deb Poe,society Insider, the Help, war
Horses, lincoln and BridgetSpies all nominated for Best
Picture.
Oh, I didn't realize, the Helpwas Touchstone.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Crazy.
Okay, you just brought that allup.
I haven't thought of Touchstonefor years.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Yeah, I just knew that they were, because I mostly
remember the 80s of when it wasthem trying to get away with
making R-rated movies.
If they wanted to make anR-rated movie, they made it with
Touchstone.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Right.
So you won with the best badpark idea, which one was that
the Touchstone Park, that's agood yeah, that's a good park.
And I think my crappy one crap,the crappiest idea yeah, and
the whole thing, yeah.
So those are our bad park ideas.
Yeah, we broke them down foryou brooke had a, a new drink.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
They could have gone south and it didn't just like
these lands.
We might go have another, andsometimes they just don't right.
It's all good, but until nexttime, cheers.
