Listeners to Footballland have rightly asked us - "Why isn't there a ride at your theme park that celebrates the ridiculousness of Arsenal Football Club?" It's a question we've been pondering ourselves, so we duly invited Arsenal Twitter scholar Laura Kirk to come up with a solution. 

Laura sealed herself in the Wayne Lineker Fibreglass Testicle for a full 35 minutes before emerging (like a weird butterfly) with The Arsenal Way, a gauntlet run featuring all the manners in which her beloved Gooners have self-destructed in the last 20 years. We think it's a hit, and we hope you enjoy riding it. 

PLUS, this week:

- Patreon Nick Dunmore writes 3 words - 'Downsize Fitz Hall,' in the shortest ride idea yet. 

- Mark reveals his work in progress "The Ali Dia Waltzers"

- And there's a problem with our existing ride, "Lee Cattermole's Petting Zoo."

Footballland Explained:

Anthony Richardson has accidentally been given $1 billion dollars by Qatar to build a football-themed theme park in Qatar for the 2022 World Cup. He and Mark Davison (Chief Ride Engineer) are in a race against the clock to design and commission the most exciting football theme park rides in the history of amusements.

All the best 

Anthony Richardson, CEO of Footballland 

Mark Davison, Lord Sir Chief Ride Engineer

Ryan Baxter, Intern.
