Podcast: The Ride
A podcast about theme parks whose original tagline is deeply outdated. Strap in as Mike Carlson, Jason Sheridan and Scott Gairdner share the WAY-too-many things they know about Disney, Universal, and beyond. Produced by the Forever Dog Podcast Network.
Episodes
Heidi Gardner joins PTR to share family tales from Kansas City, Missouri's theme park "Worlds of Fun." A park that packs multiple planets' worth of enjoyment into 235 acres.
*Podcast: The Ride has discontinued the "bring an empty can of Sprite, get a podcast episode free" promotion. Sprite no longer wants to be affiliated with Podcast: The Ride and it's sometimes bawdy discussions.
"Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit"...
Tom Scharpling (The Best Show, Double Threat) joins the PTR boys in a tiny, frustrating, pirate-themed escape room for "fun."
They get on the ground, turn large wheels and push through game-based fatigue in order to avoid embarrassment in front of the Escapology employees.

In 1988, The Magical World of Disney aired an ambitious special celebrating Mickey Mouse's 60th birthday. Sitcom character guest appearances, a sorcerer Mickey return and a lot of references to MURDER. Eisner is in there too, don't worry.
The returning Joe Kwaczala helps us break it all down, from his personal VHS that includes all the original commercials.

Some people call area loops: "theme park background music." Others refer to area loops as: "the noise coming out of a speaker that emotionally corresponds to the type of themed space where the speaker is located."
Regardless, theme park lands wouldn't be the same without area loops!
Kevin Tully returns in a non Avatar-related scenario, to chill and jam out with this eclectic selection of area loops.
Paul Scheer returns to discuss the first ever Universal Studios "Fan Fest Nights," a non scary Halloween Horror Nights-type event.
Fan Fest Nights offers immersive experiences like walking on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise or getting yelled at by any number of Back to the Future characters (even obscure ones)!
