the business plan is behind to B, but I like it.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Promo code awesome, just go.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
You get commercials, but everything's free, so it's fine.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
The thing is, sometimes I've watched a movie and something
happened and I didn't get a single commercial.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
That happens sometimes, Dickerman, what you just described is what
TV used to be. This is true. This is true commercials,
but everything was free.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
But the thing is nothing is edited.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Two yes, yes, yeah, two byes. It's a free for
all for Scott's horror movies. So you see really Oh
my god, wow, things happening. Yeah, I've been watching.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I'm watching a lot on there too. I watch all
the I watched Lost Boys on there recently.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
At what point do you switch to the Christmas horror movies?
Because I feel like we're just about.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
You're just once once the calendar flips to December.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Okay, that's when it started. Ye, you're not gonna do
it on Red Friday because you're murdering.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
No, no, and I'm definitely well.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
I mean, if I wanted to watch on Christmas horror
movie like that, I would watch Red One.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
About a horror movie right there?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I could not That thing was terrible. That was awful.
Netflix has made some really bad movies. Red One was Netflix,
it wasn't was his Amazon?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
You are thinking of Red Notice.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Oh okay, that was terrible too.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
That was a Netflix one. Red One is the Amazon one.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Oh I think I did see that too. That was
horrible as well. Everything Red in the title has been bad. Yeah,
but isn't nothing one with the rock in it?
Speaker 4 (03:20):
The rocks in both of them?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Of course he is no wonder why Scott hates it?
Mm hmm. Scott does not like the Rock.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
But I recently watched Poultergeist two and three on two B.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
So mm hmmm, oh lovely films. Wait, is Joe Beth
Williams still in poster Poultergeist two?
Speaker 4 (03:39):
She is in two.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Craig tie Nelson almost most of the original cast is
in two.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Okay, so good?
Speaker 3 (03:46):
No, No, two was not good?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Which one does she get pushed up the wall? Classic scene?
Speaker 4 (03:54):
That's in one?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Okay, that's a classic scene.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Three is inside of like Chicago higher. That one was.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
That one was fun, Okay, That one's got. That one's
about the about about Carol Anne. She's with like her
aunt and uncle in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
One's got like the membor, like the braces, the kid
with the braces, Oh one mountain, Yeah, and come out
and wrap herround his head. Yeah, terrifying.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
One and three are good. Two wasn't very good.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I'm surprised when you got the original cast back. They
couldn't they couldn't reclaim the magic. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
And then when they asked Craig T. Nelson, hey do
you want to do three, He's like two is enough.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
He's like, I'm gonna go do this show called Coach.
I'm out of here.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
I've heard this thing called Pixar and they have me
up for a role called mister Incredible.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Oh is he mister? And crowd didn't even know that here.
I don't know. I don't know voices anybody other than
like Tom Hanks does Woody and Toy Story, and and
Tim Allen does Buzz light Year.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Yes, and Mike Myers is Trek.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
That's not a Pixar no.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
But I'm just I'm just rattling off voices. You want
to answer some theme park questions?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Oh, that's right. We did have the mail bag people
emailed in. Since this is a holiday edition of the show,
people emailed into the theme park podcast at iHeart dot com.
Is that media?
Speaker 4 (05:21):
I heard media?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Media? Jeez, I wish I knew the address name. First
up is type in iHeart and then just keep going
until you get it right.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
First up, this is directed completely at Jimmy. As the
resident Star Trek fan on the show. You have talked
on multiple appearances about how you would like to see
a star trek Land.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
What specifically would you like to see.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I don't know if I'm the resident Star Trek fan,
but I mean, between the three of us, you take
the cake buddy.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Yeah, you have pictures with members of the cast.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
I would probably say I would like to see, you know,
obviously the seventeen oh one, which is the original Star Trek,
Like I would like to see a lot of the
enterprises we'd see the Do you have.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
A favorite enterprise? By the way, there's.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
A different enterprise. I thought they were all the same. Well, no,
because you got the original. Then the original one gets blown.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Up in rough gone no search response search.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
A spot that's correct for search a spock, and then
they get the Enterprise A.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
From there, it's seventeen to one A.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
And then when you get to Star Trek the next generation,
it's the seventeen oh one D and that one gets
crashed into a planet thanks to malcol McDowell's yeah, Malcolm McDowell.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Oh, that's in generations.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
That's in generations. And then you have the seventeen oh
one E. I would have to say the E is
my favorite because that was the one they had in uh,
Contact one, the first Contact one.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I'm just gonna say it right now, Jim, you are
absolutely start tuck authority in the show. Because I have
no idea what you're talking about right now. I had nothing.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
There was a time I worked in a comic book
store and you yes, and the manager there insisted that
we watch First Contact over and over and over again.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
First Contact's really good.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Well, and for him it was super special because it
was a bootleg copy that he had found and it
was it was still in theaters or whatever, and we
were watching it like at nauseum at the comic book storms.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Oh my god, can we maybe do an experience where
you get to get beamed down to a planet and
you're like the extra person that always gets killed. Yeah,
it's like, yeah, you're there. It is Captain Kirk, it's Spock,
it's somebody else, and then you're there.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Just bones, say we bones the other one.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Yeah. They had the Star Trek experience in Las Vegas
at the Hilton. It's no longer they anymore, but I
went on that and we're all standing around and like,
all right, we're gonna beat you up. And it gets
dark and then there's a bright light and then you're
on the bridge and we're.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Like, how you guys do that? Oh? That was really cool.
I don't know how you did that, but that was awesome.
All right, bring that back if we're doing that. Let's
bring that, let's bring that into somebody's got it laying
around in Vegas. Yeah, they optioned all those pieces off.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Well, the thing is, we talked about this a few
weeks ago about you know, what would happen if Paramount
bought Warner Brothers, And it's like, who.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Like, what's not to say that?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Like all of these companies can't talk to each other
and put a lamb somewhere.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
They're all trying to license and they're all trying to
make deals and they all trade shows. You notice now
like your movie's they're up going away soon because it's
going over to this one exactly. Yeah, freighting back and forth.
But Jimmy eat their properties out?
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Is there like there isn't like a planet, right, it's
mostly like I mean, there's like Vulcan, but it's mostly
like space stuff like like the land I'm saying thinking
could be like deep space nine.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Yeah, I could see like a space station. What was
the other thing I was thinking? Like, because I'm trying to.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Like girl everybody to love from Star Trek seven of nine. Yes, yes,
I really loved her. And Patrick Stewart was a great
captain too. I do know that. Yeah, he's a wonderful actor.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Jean Luke. Really you could just sell wine. Just Jean
Luke's a winery.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
I'm pretty sure there is like something at one point
they were selling a wine, like they sell a Skywalker
ranch has a winery on it and they sell Skywalker wine.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
You can ranch and the stor just like right next
to Hidden Valley. I mean, it's it's made. It's it's
right there, it's begging to be made.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Elsewhere in the mail bag. What ride would you want
to do with the lights on the entire time?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
The the first answer that comes to most people's minds,
and a few people of a number, a lot of
people done this. But it's Space Mountain.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I've had it happen midway through the ride.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yes, I've had the lights on in Space Mountain. It
looks cool, it looks like, oh my gosh, this is
just like a wooden, old junkie roller coaster, but it's neat.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
It was terrifying for me. Yeah, well, because you're going
from pitch black to bright lights.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah, you see everything and you're like, wow, this is
not what I expected. It kind of looks like it
looks like a carnival ride almost inside when the lights
are on.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
For Scott's point, though, it's like the lights come on,
You're like, why are the lights on? Something bad happened
for the lights to come on.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Why are the lights on? Yes, yeah, that's true too.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
But like I would imagine, like imagine trying to do
like Tower of Terror with the lights on.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Oh, that'd be interesting, I feel like one.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
I think it would, but I think it would like
ruin the magic.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Oh yeah, definitely would, but it be I think anytime
you take the lights up on any ride like Space
Mountain or Tower Terra does take away from the magic.
But yeah, Tower Terror is always an interesting one. That
whole system is really neat, Like I feel like that,
like when you look at it now, it was really
advanced for the time they built that.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
If you did Tower of Tear with the lights on,
would you want it to be bright or dark outside?
For the part when the elevator doors open.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I'm gonna say bright, Yeah, we're doing light this all
have all lights for the whole thing. Yeah, just crank
everything up, all the lights. I'm trying to think of
what else is like a really like even like Spaceship
Earth would be cool, fully lit up, like they're really
truly seeing the inside of that ball.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Well, I feel like with that it's so sectioned off
that I don't think you'd really I don't think you're
missing anything with it the lights being down.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, I just I'm that section where you go through
the ball at the end where it kind of turns
you around back. Oh yeah, I need to see it.
You don't really see it. I want to see like
the water stains on the on the ceiling panels.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I just want like somebody to show me the model
of Spaceship Earth, like cut in half.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
I want to see how it works.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
How does this whole thing? They have a whole Lego
set that just released of it. What are the guts?
Are the guts you know? To scale? And accurate are they?
Are they anatomically correct?
Speaker 5 (12:10):
It was the Dust Star was making a joke the
Dusk Star Lego said, it's got like a it's gives
you like the what do you call that?
Speaker 4 (12:18):
It's like a slice of life almost.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Yeah, and then you see like all the scenes from
all the movies happening all at once.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Oh, is that the one that we were gonna buy him?
If he tried new foods?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yes, okay, I was like a thousand bucks. There wasn't string.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Yeah, and also you didn't do it, of course not.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
And why would you guys know, I would never put
together something like that. If it's got more than fifty pieces,
I'm out so disappointed. If it's more than like the
big puzzle pieces like you get in the toddler section,
I'm out.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
If it's not duplow, you don't want anything to do
with it.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Nope, I need the big stuff.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
That is the big stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
That's that's the one that's the dup blow. Yeah. He
wants to be able to pinsion zoom his legos. You are.
You could not be more correct, sir. It's an eyeball thing.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
All right.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Elsewhere, what is your favorite main entrance out of theme park?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Okay, so Magic Kingdom for me, just because it feels
like you're entering into a completely magical and the most
special place on Earth. Now, I have not done Epic
Universe yet, but I imagine that's pretty awesome.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
It is pretty cool. It's it's it's very cool.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
When you walk through Chronos the tower, it's pretty awesome.
And when you walk in and you could see all
of the portals, in front of you.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Mm hmmm, Jimmy, do you have a favorite Roos the
klingon home Planet?
Speaker 4 (13:46):
You're you're the resident Trekkie.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
You should know that Chronos was our pay system at work.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
It's one of them.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
You gotta put your hour in your kronos. Man. God,
I haven't thought about that and forever, and.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Yes it was okay.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
But yeah, I will say though Universal, I love that.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I love Universal Studios, the arches and hearing the different
movie scores.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Oh yeah, when you walk into that park too, Yeah,
that is that is special. But they do this inside
the park, like even going into like the Harry Potter Land.
They built that like you're supposed to go through the
wall and it's like magical and it's making the noise like.
They really go out all out on entrances throughout the park,
not just the entry entry too. And Dickerman, what I
was going to say is the Jurassic Park sign. Oh
(14:39):
oh ga, that's another good one. Yeah, that's uh. I
always stop and you know little tear. Yeah, and again
inside the park, not even the main entrance that is
inside the park.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
I used to really like walking into Islands of Venture.
I mean I still do but once you've worked in
that area for multiple years and you've heard that music
on a loop, it changes it just a little bit.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yeah yeah, I could see that. I get see it
like it's like working at your favorite restaurant all of
a sudden you're sick of the food.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
But the thing is, I still remember the first time
we all walked into Galaxy's Edge and how that felt.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
The first time we saw the Falcon in real life. Yeah,
oh yeah, that was wild man, Like people take it
for granted now, but the first time we saw that,
were like mystified at this thing.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
And it would come around that corner for the first
time and see in the cockpit and I was just like,
oh my god.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
In real and you'll experiences at some point, but like
when you're going up the green Pipe into Super Nintendo
World at Epic Universe, it's very much the same thing.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
You walk in and you feel like you've walked into
a video game.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah yeah, Hey, back to the Falcon super quick, because
we have seen like the characters come out of the Falcon.
Do we have have we gotten any reports it put
looks like actually inside the ship, is it just like empty?
Did they do some decoration in there. Do we know
because you saw the movie? You know exactly how.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Yeah, there's there's an area full of capes for Orlando.
There's a place where you can play the hologram chess.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Yeah. I just want to get a job there so
I can just go inside of it. I just want
to just be able to go inside. They got that
ball that.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Goes exactly you got to put a the blash shield
down on your helmet.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
How you were even going to see use the force? Seriously,
I do want to see the inside of that thing,
even if it's just empty. We told you what it
looks like in the inside. Don't ruin it otherwise.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
All right, let's see, Uh, what else do we got?
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Oh? How about this?
Speaker 3 (16:47):
What's a theme park landscape you'd want for your house?
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Anything's better? When I got this.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Ebcot during flowering garden around that pond that has the
monorae that goes over it. Always do these beautiful like
mosaics and all these beautiful coat I want that.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I mean, like the characters, are you talking like the
characters or it's Dumbo.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
It's usually like the that the ebcot, like you know
how they ecot has that.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
One logo kind of like a mensa logo.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
It's like three circles or something that, yes, you'll see
that like in the in the flat work pot beds.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I want, I want the I want the characters. I
want the bushes they cut in shape of all the things. Yeah,
like just you know, change it out every couple of months.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
I want ye Dumbo, I want to specifically, Okay, my
my guy.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Figment, Yep, he's your guy.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
And because multiple people have said this, my alleged duppelganger
Kermit the Frog when he's riding his bicycle, Hello, because
apparently I look like that riding by Cickle.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
I need to see you ride a bike. Actually, man,
the girls in that class you take our me.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
It wasn't even them, that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
A gosh, apparently I'm just like leg Well. I think
it's because I have your long skinny.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Arms, have long skinny arms that yeah, with that suit on,
you kind of do look like the slender Man.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
God.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah, but I definitely could go like that is the
natural The natural thought is to say, you know the
special stuff that they Topieri's is that what that's pierres
to do? What otherwise like even the front of the
park where they decorate where like the flowers are in
like you know, they make like a symbol. That's awesome too.
I mean I would literally kill all of it within
(18:51):
a week. But it looks neat all, right. I probably
should should probably live in the desert.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
No, you actually do with like scorpions then.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
And tarantulas and rattlesnakes.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
In the sand, worms, dry bones. You don't want to
worry about numbers. Uh you know about dry bones, right,
I do not.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Man, you haven't played.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
You haven't played that level of Mario with dry bones.
And then the sun that just follows you around.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
No, that sounds like fun. That sounds like the Florida
Son felt like me.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
It worked for a few weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Say you get to sublet a living space in a
theme park for a season.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Okay, we're living inside.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Which theme park or even theme park section would you choose?
And the listener goes on to say, I would prefer
one with a giant aquarium section.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Oh well, that would help your sleep. I think that's
not about it. Like if you did the seas, the
seas would be good. I'll say this because Jimmy, Jimmy
claimed the castle. I'm gonna go for that man a
tea section over a seat. World. That seems like it'd
be very calm at night.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
You can just hang out with a chubby boy, just.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Hang out with the fellas. Yes, everybody's chilled. Everybody's calm,
eating some lettuce.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
See. I thought you would have gone with a lazy river.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
I drown.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
You put a life jacket on your float.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
The whole time. Just keep floating. Yeah, it might be
good for my joint. It doesn't always work.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Or you just get an inner tube and like, go
on the inner tube.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Just get the two for your head so your head
doesn't go under everything else and go on. Just keep
your head above water and you're good. So, but you
need a hole in it.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
I don't think they work that way. No, I know
for me, and.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
I know this, this answer might surprise you guys.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Okay, Well, actually have two answers. Uh, Tower of Tear.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
That's a scary place to sleep.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Well, my next one is Frankenstein's Castle from Epic Universe.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Oh, I haven't been there yet.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
I don't know the thing.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yeah, what about the sharking Counter? You want to sleep
in the sharking Counter? Two? You know? Can we send
you somewhere else scary.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
I do really like the people mover tube inside of there.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
What if what if let me just throw this out
you okay, what if we could take the people mover
and attach a bed to it and you sleep on
the people mover Like that's.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Like it's just it's it's like he just goes back
and forth.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Yeah. No, no, it just goes to the whole the
whole people mover section just goes to the whole route
while you sleep. I mean, having that giant group or
stand at you, stare at you all night.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Or when you go through like the shark's mouth, that
would be kind of terrifying if you wake up at
that exact moment.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Oh, I was talking about the people mover you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Oh, I'm still I sorry, I was still I was
still on the shark encounter.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
No, what is it called Terrors of the Deep? Yeah, yeah,
shark encounter. It's a shark encounter. It's always gonna be
the shark encounter. Yeah, that would be scary to wake
up to you. I'm talking about the people Mover. Like,
modify the system there and make it bed and you
sleep there and it just constantly takes you around.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
I mean, if I'm being honest, I'm sure you two
have agreed with me. You've dozed off on that.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Oh yeah, I've slept there and Mickey's phil harm Magic
That is a great place to take an after that
is the next question. Next question, let me send it
in the mail bag right now. What's the best place
to sleep at a theme park?
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Well, what's the answer?
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Phil Harmonic one percent for parents people, Wover's another good one.
Anytime you get to where do you what do you got?
Speaker 5 (22:32):
I don't know if I want to smirch inn of
any rides, but uh, let's just say, uh it's a hmmm.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Very big, beautiful tomorrow because I've slept in there too.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
It Oh uh Carousel Progress, Yeah, I'll doze off in
there too.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
American, Oh wow, I'll just just go straight sleep in
the pavilion like you just sit up in the back.
It's like the place is always in sparsely populated, so
you definitely find some time, I.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Mean another place. And we're again we're not condoning this.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
No, we're just saying, you know, if like i'd be
running around with my kid, I'm tired, I'm I feel
rm magic, I doze off. I don't mean to. It
just happens.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
If the weather is right and you're on the skyliner,
you get that little bit of sway.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
That sway would wake me up.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Like no, no, no, no, the little bit like when
you're moving, not when you're going into a station.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
That's a different kind of sway.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
But just like when it's almost like a hammock going
back and forth.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
You get to the station, the guy's poking you with
a stick. Cake, Get out out of there, get out
of their pals.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Can I just run this back?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
No, they do make you get out. They don't let
you run it back.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Correct, they do.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yes's unfortunate, just be able to run it back. Sorry,
that was an additional question, but I just added to
the mailbag.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
It's a valid question.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Those are good places to sleep in theme parks that
I know of, for sure. I don't know if any Universal.
I think Universal is too exciting to have any more
to sleep.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
We'll save that for the next mailbag.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Okay, let's go do it for this week. That's it.

You got. Halloween, You've got, You've got Thanksgiving, and then
you've got Christmas.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Important to be is the best. To be is the
best streaming service.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I don't understand how it works. I don't understand what
the business plan is behind to B, but I like it.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Promo code awesome, just go.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
You get commercials, but everything's free, so it's fine.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
The thing is, sometimes I've watched a movie and something
happened and I didn't get a single commercial.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
That happens sometimes, Dickerman, what you just described is what
TV used to be. This is true. This is true commercials,
but everything was free.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
But the thing is nothing is edited.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Two yes, yes, yeah, two byes. It's a free for
all for Scott's horror movies. So you see really Oh
my god, wow, things happening. Yeah, I've been watching.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I'm watching a lot on there too. I watch all
the I watched Lost Boys on there recently.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
At what point do you switch to the Christmas horror movies?
Because I feel like we're just about.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
You're just once once the calendar flips to December.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Okay, that's when it started. Ye, you're not gonna do
it on Red Friday because you're murdering.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
No, no, and I'm definitely well.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
I mean, if I wanted to watch on Christmas horror
movie like that, I would watch Red One.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
About a horror movie right there?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I could not That thing was terrible. That was awful.
Netflix has made some really bad movies. Red One was Netflix,
it wasn't was his Amazon?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
You are thinking of Red Notice.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Oh okay, that was terrible too.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
That was a Netflix one. Red One is the Amazon one.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Oh I think I did see that too. That was
horrible as well. Everything Red in the title has been bad. Yeah,
but isn't nothing one with the rock in it?
Speaker 4 (03:20):
The rocks in both of them?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Of course he is no wonder why Scott hates it?
Mm hmm. Scott does not like the Rock.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
But I recently watched Poultergeist two and three on two B.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
So mm hmmm, oh lovely films. Wait, is Joe Beth
Williams still in poster Poultergeist two?
Speaker 4 (03:39):
She is in two.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Craig tie Nelson almost most of the original cast is
in two.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Okay, so good?
Speaker 3 (03:46):
No, No, two was not good?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Which one does she get pushed up the wall? Classic scene?
Speaker 4 (03:54):
That's in one?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Okay, that's a classic scene.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Three is inside of like Chicago higher. That one was.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
That one was fun, Okay, That one's got. That one's
about the about about Carol Anne. She's with like her
aunt and uncle in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
One's got like the membor, like the braces, the kid
with the braces, Oh one mountain, Yeah, and come out
and wrap herround his head. Yeah, terrifying.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
One and three are good. Two wasn't very good.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I'm surprised when you got the original cast back. They
couldn't they couldn't reclaim the magic. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
And then when they asked Craig T. Nelson, hey do
you want to do three, He's like two is enough.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
He's like, I'm gonna go do this show called Coach.
I'm out of here.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
I've heard this thing called Pixar and they have me
up for a role called mister Incredible.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Oh is he mister? And crowd didn't even know that here.
I don't know. I don't know voices anybody other than
like Tom Hanks does Woody and Toy Story, and and
Tim Allen does Buzz light Year.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Yes, and Mike Myers is Trek.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
That's not a Pixar no.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
But I'm just I'm just rattling off voices. You want
to answer some theme park questions?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Oh, that's right. We did have the mail bag people
emailed in. Since this is a holiday edition of the show,
people emailed into the theme park podcast at iHeart dot com.
Is that media?
Speaker 4 (05:21):
I heard media?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Media? Jeez, I wish I knew the address name. First
up is type in iHeart and then just keep going
until you get it right.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
First up, this is directed completely at Jimmy. As the
resident Star Trek fan on the show. You have talked
on multiple appearances about how you would like to see
a star trek Land.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
What specifically would you like to see.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I don't know if I'm the resident Star Trek fan,
but I mean, between the three of us, you take
the cake buddy.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Yeah, you have pictures with members of the cast.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
I would probably say I would like to see, you know,
obviously the seventeen oh one, which is the original Star Trek,
Like I would like to see a lot of the
enterprises we'd see the Do you have.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
A favorite enterprise? By the way, there's.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
A different enterprise. I thought they were all the same. Well, no,
because you got the original. Then the original one gets blown.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Up in rough gone no search response search.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
A spot that's correct for search a spock, and then
they get the Enterprise A.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
From there, it's seventeen to one A.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
And then when you get to Star Trek the next generation,
it's the seventeen oh one D and that one gets
crashed into a planet thanks to malcol McDowell's yeah, Malcolm McDowell.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Oh, that's in generations.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
That's in generations. And then you have the seventeen oh
one E. I would have to say the E is
my favorite because that was the one they had in uh,
Contact one, the first Contact one.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I'm just gonna say it right now, Jim, you are
absolutely start tuck authority in the show. Because I have
no idea what you're talking about right now. I had nothing.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
There was a time I worked in a comic book
store and you yes, and the manager there insisted that
we watch First Contact over and over and over again.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
First Contact's really good.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Well, and for him it was super special because it
was a bootleg copy that he had found and it
was it was still in theaters or whatever, and we
were watching it like at nauseum at the comic book storms.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Oh my god, can we maybe do an experience where
you get to get beamed down to a planet and
you're like the extra person that always gets killed. Yeah,
it's like, yeah, you're there. It is Captain Kirk, it's Spock,
it's somebody else, and then you're there.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Just bones, say we bones the other one.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Yeah. They had the Star Trek experience in Las Vegas
at the Hilton. It's no longer they anymore, but I
went on that and we're all standing around and like,
all right, we're gonna beat you up. And it gets
dark and then there's a bright light and then you're
on the bridge and we're.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Like, how you guys do that? Oh? That was really cool.
I don't know how you did that, but that was awesome.
All right, bring that back if we're doing that. Let's
bring that, let's bring that into somebody's got it laying
around in Vegas. Yeah, they optioned all those pieces off.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Well, the thing is, we talked about this a few
weeks ago about you know, what would happen if Paramount
bought Warner Brothers, And it's like, who.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Like, what's not to say that?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Like all of these companies can't talk to each other
and put a lamb somewhere.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
They're all trying to license and they're all trying to
make deals and they all trade shows. You notice now
like your movie's they're up going away soon because it's
going over to this one exactly. Yeah, freighting back and forth.
But Jimmy eat their properties out?
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Is there like there isn't like a planet, right, it's
mostly like I mean, there's like Vulcan, but it's mostly
like space stuff like like the land I'm saying thinking
could be like deep space nine.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Yeah, I could see like a space station. What was
the other thing I was thinking? Like, because I'm trying to.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Like girl everybody to love from Star Trek seven of nine. Yes, yes,
I really loved her. And Patrick Stewart was a great
captain too. I do know that. Yeah, he's a wonderful actor.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Jean Luke. Really you could just sell wine. Just Jean
Luke's a winery.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
I'm pretty sure there is like something at one point
they were selling a wine, like they sell a Skywalker
ranch has a winery on it and they sell Skywalker wine.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
You can ranch and the stor just like right next
to Hidden Valley. I mean, it's it's made. It's it's
right there, it's begging to be made.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Elsewhere in the mail bag. What ride would you want
to do with the lights on the entire time?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
The the first answer that comes to most people's minds,
and a few people of a number, a lot of
people done this. But it's Space Mountain.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I've had it happen midway through the ride.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yes, I've had the lights on in Space Mountain. It
looks cool, it looks like, oh my gosh, this is
just like a wooden, old junkie roller coaster, but it's neat.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
It was terrifying for me. Yeah, well, because you're going
from pitch black to bright lights.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah, you see everything and you're like, wow, this is
not what I expected. It kind of looks like it
looks like a carnival ride almost inside when the lights
are on.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
For Scott's point, though, it's like the lights come on,
You're like, why are the lights on? Something bad happened
for the lights to come on.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Why are the lights on? Yes, yeah, that's true too.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
But like I would imagine, like imagine trying to do
like Tower of Terror with the lights on.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Oh, that'd be interesting, I feel like one.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
I think it would, but I think it would like
ruin the magic.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Oh yeah, definitely would, but it be I think anytime
you take the lights up on any ride like Space
Mountain or Tower Terra does take away from the magic.
But yeah, Tower Terror is always an interesting one. That
whole system is really neat, Like I feel like that,
like when you look at it now, it was really
advanced for the time they built that.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
If you did Tower of Tear with the lights on,
would you want it to be bright or dark outside?
For the part when the elevator doors open.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I'm gonna say bright, Yeah, we're doing light this all
have all lights for the whole thing. Yeah, just crank
everything up, all the lights. I'm trying to think of
what else is like a really like even like Spaceship
Earth would be cool, fully lit up, like they're really
truly seeing the inside of that ball.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Well, I feel like with that it's so sectioned off
that I don't think you'd really I don't think you're
missing anything with it the lights being down.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, I just I'm that section where you go through
the ball at the end where it kind of turns
you around back. Oh yeah, I need to see it.
You don't really see it. I want to see like
the water stains on the on the ceiling panels.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I just want like somebody to show me the model
of Spaceship Earth, like cut in half.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
I want to see how it works.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
How does this whole thing? They have a whole Lego
set that just released of it. What are the guts?
Are the guts you know? To scale? And accurate are they?
Are they anatomically correct?
Speaker 5 (12:10):
It was the Dust Star was making a joke the
Dusk Star Lego said, it's got like a it's gives
you like the what do you call that?
Speaker 4 (12:18):
It's like a slice of life almost.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Yeah, and then you see like all the scenes from
all the movies happening all at once.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Oh, is that the one that we were gonna buy him?
If he tried new foods?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yes, okay, I was like a thousand bucks. There wasn't string.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Yeah, and also you didn't do it, of course not.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
And why would you guys know, I would never put
together something like that. If it's got more than fifty pieces,
I'm out so disappointed. If it's more than like the
big puzzle pieces like you get in the toddler section,
I'm out.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
If it's not duplow, you don't want anything to do
with it.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Nope, I need the big stuff.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
That is the big stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
That's that's the one that's the dup blow. Yeah. He
wants to be able to pinsion zoom his legos. You are.
You could not be more correct, sir. It's an eyeball thing.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
All right.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Elsewhere, what is your favorite main entrance out of theme park?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Okay, so Magic Kingdom for me, just because it feels
like you're entering into a completely magical and the most
special place on Earth. Now, I have not done Epic
Universe yet, but I imagine that's pretty awesome.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
It is pretty cool. It's it's it's very cool.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
When you walk through Chronos the tower, it's pretty awesome.
And when you walk in and you could see all
of the portals, in front of you.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Mm hmmm, Jimmy, do you have a favorite Roos the
klingon home Planet?
Speaker 4 (13:46):
You're you're the resident Trekkie.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
You should know that Chronos was our pay system at work.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
It's one of them.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
You gotta put your hour in your kronos. Man. God,
I haven't thought about that and forever, and.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Yes it was okay.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
But yeah, I will say though Universal, I love that.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I love Universal Studios, the arches and hearing the different
movie scores.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Oh yeah, when you walk into that park too, Yeah,
that is that is special. But they do this inside
the park, like even going into like the Harry Potter Land.
They built that like you're supposed to go through the
wall and it's like magical and it's making the noise like.
They really go out all out on entrances throughout the park,
not just the entry entry too. And Dickerman, what I
was going to say is the Jurassic Park sign. Oh
(14:39):
oh ga, that's another good one. Yeah, that's uh. I
always stop and you know little tear. Yeah, and again
inside the park, not even the main entrance that is
inside the park.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
I used to really like walking into Islands of Venture.
I mean I still do but once you've worked in
that area for multiple years and you've heard that music
on a loop, it changes it just a little bit.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yeah yeah, I could see that. I get see it
like it's like working at your favorite restaurant all of
a sudden you're sick of the food.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
But the thing is, I still remember the first time
we all walked into Galaxy's Edge and how that felt.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
The first time we saw the Falcon in real life. Yeah,
oh yeah, that was wild man, Like people take it
for granted now, but the first time we saw that,
were like mystified at this thing.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
And it would come around that corner for the first
time and see in the cockpit and I was just like,
oh my god.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
In real and you'll experiences at some point, but like
when you're going up the green Pipe into Super Nintendo
World at Epic Universe, it's very much the same thing.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
You walk in and you feel like you've walked into
a video game.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah yeah, Hey, back to the Falcon super quick, because
we have seen like the characters come out of the Falcon.
Do we have have we gotten any reports it put
looks like actually inside the ship, is it just like empty?
Did they do some decoration in there. Do we know
because you saw the movie? You know exactly how.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Yeah, there's there's an area full of capes for Orlando.
There's a place where you can play the hologram chess.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Yeah. I just want to get a job there so
I can just go inside of it. I just want
to just be able to go inside. They got that
ball that.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Goes exactly you got to put a the blash shield
down on your helmet.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
How you were even going to see use the force? Seriously,
I do want to see the inside of that thing,
even if it's just empty. We told you what it
looks like in the inside. Don't ruin it otherwise.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
All right, let's see, Uh, what else do we got?
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Oh? How about this?
Speaker 3 (16:47):
What's a theme park landscape you'd want for your house?
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Anything's better? When I got this.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Ebcot during flowering garden around that pond that has the
monorae that goes over it. Always do these beautiful like
mosaics and all these beautiful coat I want that.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I mean, like the characters, are you talking like the
characters or it's Dumbo.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
It's usually like the that the ebcot, like you know
how they ecot has that.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
One logo kind of like a mensa logo.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
It's like three circles or something that, yes, you'll see
that like in the in the flat work pot beds.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I want, I want the I want the characters. I
want the bushes they cut in shape of all the things. Yeah,
like just you know, change it out every couple of months.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
I want ye Dumbo, I want to specifically, Okay, my
my guy.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Figment, Yep, he's your guy.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
And because multiple people have said this, my alleged duppelganger
Kermit the Frog when he's riding his bicycle, Hello, because
apparently I look like that riding by Cickle.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
I need to see you ride a bike. Actually, man,
the girls in that class you take our me.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
It wasn't even them, that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
A gosh, apparently I'm just like leg Well. I think
it's because I have your long skinny.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Arms, have long skinny arms that yeah, with that suit on,
you kind of do look like the slender Man.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
God.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah, but I definitely could go like that is the
natural The natural thought is to say, you know the
special stuff that they Topieri's is that what that's pierres
to do? What otherwise like even the front of the
park where they decorate where like the flowers are in
like you know, they make like a symbol. That's awesome too.
I mean I would literally kill all of it within
(18:51):
a week. But it looks neat all, right. I probably
should should probably live in the desert.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
No, you actually do with like scorpions then.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
And tarantulas and rattlesnakes.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
In the sand, worms, dry bones. You don't want to
worry about numbers. Uh you know about dry bones, right,
I do not.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Man, you haven't played.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
You haven't played that level of Mario with dry bones.
And then the sun that just follows you around.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
No, that sounds like fun. That sounds like the Florida
Son felt like me.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
It worked for a few weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Say you get to sublet a living space in a
theme park for a season.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Okay, we're living inside.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Which theme park or even theme park section would you choose?
And the listener goes on to say, I would prefer
one with a giant aquarium section.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Oh well, that would help your sleep. I think that's
not about it. Like if you did the seas, the
seas would be good. I'll say this because Jimmy, Jimmy
claimed the castle. I'm gonna go for that man a
tea section over a seat. World. That seems like it'd
be very calm at night.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
You can just hang out with a chubby boy, just.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Hang out with the fellas. Yes, everybody's chilled. Everybody's calm,
eating some lettuce.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
See. I thought you would have gone with a lazy river.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
I drown.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
You put a life jacket on your float.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
The whole time. Just keep floating. Yeah, it might be
good for my joint. It doesn't always work.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Or you just get an inner tube and like, go
on the inner tube.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Just get the two for your head so your head
doesn't go under everything else and go on. Just keep
your head above water and you're good. So, but you
need a hole in it.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
I don't think they work that way. No, I know
for me, and.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
I know this, this answer might surprise you guys.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Okay, Well, actually have two answers. Uh, Tower of Tear.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
That's a scary place to sleep.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Well, my next one is Frankenstein's Castle from Epic Universe.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Oh, I haven't been there yet.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
I don't know the thing.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yeah, what about the sharking Counter? You want to sleep
in the sharking Counter? Two? You know? Can we send
you somewhere else scary.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
I do really like the people mover tube inside of there.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
What if what if let me just throw this out
you okay, what if we could take the people mover
and attach a bed to it and you sleep on
the people mover Like that's.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Like it's just it's it's like he just goes back
and forth.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Yeah. No, no, it just goes to the whole the
whole people mover section just goes to the whole route
while you sleep. I mean, having that giant group or
stand at you, stare at you all night.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Or when you go through like the shark's mouth, that
would be kind of terrifying if you wake up at
that exact moment.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Oh, I was talking about the people mover you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Oh, I'm still I sorry, I was still I was
still on the shark encounter.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
No, what is it called Terrors of the Deep? Yeah, yeah,
shark encounter. It's a shark encounter. It's always gonna be
the shark encounter. Yeah, that would be scary to wake
up to you. I'm talking about the people Mover. Like,
modify the system there and make it bed and you
sleep there and it just constantly takes you around.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
I mean, if I'm being honest, I'm sure you two
have agreed with me. You've dozed off on that.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Oh yeah, I've slept there and Mickey's phil harm Magic
That is a great place to take an after that
is the next question. Next question, let me send it
in the mail bag right now. What's the best place
to sleep at a theme park?
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Well, what's the answer?
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Phil Harmonic one percent for parents people, Wover's another good one.
Anytime you get to where do you what do you got?
Speaker 5 (22:32):
I don't know if I want to smirch inn of
any rides, but uh, let's just say, uh it's a hmmm.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Very big, beautiful tomorrow because I've slept in there too.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
It Oh uh Carousel Progress, Yeah, I'll doze off in
there too.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
American, Oh wow, I'll just just go straight sleep in
the pavilion like you just sit up in the back.
It's like the place is always in sparsely populated, so
you definitely find some time, I.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Mean another place. And we're again we're not condoning this.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
No, we're just saying, you know, if like i'd be
running around with my kid, I'm tired, I'm I feel
rm magic, I doze off. I don't mean to. It
just happens.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
If the weather is right and you're on the skyliner,
you get that little bit of sway.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
That sway would wake me up.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Like no, no, no, no, the little bit like when
you're moving, not when you're going into a station.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
That's a different kind of sway.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
But just like when it's almost like a hammock going
back and forth.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
You get to the station, the guy's poking you with
a stick. Cake, Get out out of there, get out
of their pals.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Can I just run this back?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
No, they do make you get out. They don't let
you run it back.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Correct, they do.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yes's unfortunate, just be able to run it back. Sorry,
that was an additional question, but I just added to
the mailbag.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
It's a valid question.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Those are good places to sleep in theme parks that
I know of, for sure. I don't know if any Universal.
I think Universal is too exciting to have any more
to sleep.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
We'll save that for the next mailbag.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Okay, let's go do it for this week. That's it.
