Speaker 1 (00:02):
From the theme park capital of the World, Orlando, Florida.
This is the Theme Park Podcast. Wait podcast?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Is this a radio? Why does everything gotta be so
messy on this station? Anyway?
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Here's your hosts, Dickerman, Jimmy D and Scott Harris.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Hey there, and welcome to the Theme Park Podcast. Dickerman,
here there is Jimmy D.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
I love the fishes, it is so delicious. And Scott
Harris sad go fish.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
We're eating butter beer snacks on the show tonight, That's
what's up.
Speaker 6 (00:36):
I'm starting to feel it if I'm not gonna lie
the sugar crash or the sugar rat ride right Okay, yeah,
I feel like a king candy right now.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
So we just have to get this show done before
you crash, that's what you're saying.
Speaker 6 (00:49):
Or I might I might have to keep he just
keep that high going, keep putting it in there.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah, So we ended up getting all the butterbeer treats
they could be found. Lauren Campbell dot Com went on
a shopping spree for us today, our number one sponsor
on the show.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
As the resident adult of the Theme Park Podcast.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah yeah, she went out. She hit multiple stores because
all of us struck out looking at sorts. I went
to five, I went to one, I went to one.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
I went to the Public's, the new one, the two
story one over Oak Grows. Yeah, yeah, fancy one.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
But she went around and she found the butter beer Goldfish,
the butterbeer futstripe cookies from Keebler. And I didn't even
know these were a thing because somehow missed this. The
butter beer Hershey's Kisses.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
And the last things that we have are pockey sticks.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Hmmm, pockeys okay? And popcorn. Right.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
The skinny pop.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Yes, the skinny pops were very interesting in because it's
kettlecorn but butter beer flavored.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I mean, the only thing that draws me away from
that is the fact that it's called skinny pop. It
sounds like it might be too healthy.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Well, don't worry, We the three of us can all
stand a use some skinny pie.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Well, if you get the skinny pop, I'm gonna melt
down some of these cases and port over it. That's
already what's on it.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
That's what I've been saying. That's what I have to do.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
That was one of the ideas that I had for
epic universes. They should have a popcorn.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yeah, butterbeer popcorn, brilliant idea. They can, they can make
the skinny pop one, but maybe even better.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Can we freeze try butter beer skinny pop popcorn?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Can can popcorn be freez drite? Jimmy, I don't feel
like I can. I don't know that anybody would want.
I feel it would turn back into a kernel.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Can we can? We can we try?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I mean, what's what's worth?
Speaker 5 (02:34):
What's the worst that happens?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
We need one of those thirty thousand dollars free striding machines.
But no, they're only like four, They're only four. Why
am I not freeze driving my candy all the time?
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Why might I? Again? I make the joke every time.
It's the King of the Hill episode where Bill gets
a turkey fryer basically, and it's deep frying everything and.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Deep frying all.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
That's what you would be doing. Yeah, can I can
I deep fry a code red Mountain?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Deal?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I mean you can try. But here's the deal with
these butterber things. We could recommend a favorite, but we
each have different favorites. Jimmy, I'm the goldfish to me
is where it's at. The goldfish great if you.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Remember Teddy Grams when we were kids, of course, it's
kind of I mean still. Yeah, it's just a tiny
little short bread and it's butterber flavor, flavor, a perfect comparison.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
And then when you when you're looking at the calories,
you can eat thirty one pieces. That's a serving. It's
only a bag one hundred and forty calories. I ate
a bag.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
How many is the bag?
Speaker 6 (03:35):
You hit the bag in like you hit the bag
like like Scooby Doo style where you're jaw.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
It's actually not that bad because there is five servings. Okay,
I'm five people, and it's only one hundred and forty
calories per serving. So really, like, if you ate this
whole bag and smashed it once, what are you at?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Like, uh, I don't want to do the math. You look,
you're at five hundred and eighty calories no more. Yeah, yeah,
there's more.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
The serving suggestion on my favorite seven seven hundred calories
two cookies is the serving suggestion.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yes, I ate two and one and like one fight
you sandwich them. I want the I want the frosting
on all sides, and what are you doing with these?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah? The kisses.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
The kisses are my Scot's fist stripe. Man, I'm in
the kiss I'm in the kiss factory.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
A serving size is seven, okay, bad. I don't even
think I've hit a serving yet. And it's only one
hundred and seventy calories.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
You yeah, you got permission to have a serving?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah? Serving? Yeah. See, that's what I like about the goldfish. Man,
I can eat thirty one of them. M hmm. They're good.
They're good. But if you can find these in your store,
try them. They're really hard to find.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Buy them first and then try them.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I just eat them in the store. One of those.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
I can't do that. What No, I gotta wait until
the card has been swiped.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Yeah, I'm I'm always offended when I see somebody just
ate something in the store and left the package there
on the shof I'm like, come on, oh, I've never
seen that.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
You never see, well, you don't go to Walmart. I know.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
I was like, but like, I know when people are
like in like the checkout line and they like start
like opening up a candy bar.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Wrapper, I'm just now I'll scan it, don't worry.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Yeah, yeah, I've never done that.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah, so look for it in your stores, Jimmy. One
came from CBS. The Hershey Skisses came from CVS.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
This, the Hergie Kisses came from the CVS over in
Altamont Springs, right by where Winghouse used to be.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Okay, all right, and you got to ask for the manager.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
What if they buy in the pharmacy, because some people
like you would probably hoard them.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
They got them upstairs. Oh so you just asked for
the manager. Okay, how did Lauren know to do that?
Speaker 5 (05:51):
She's an adult. It isn't afraid to ask for help.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I guess that's that's it right there. Okay, all right,
And then.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
She found the fudge stripes and she didn't tell me exactly,
but I suspect I forbid you to go there.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Well, the thing is, I went to five stores. I
bet if I ask somebody, they probably could be like,
oh yeah, we got them in the back here.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah yeah, we are heap keeping them for ourselves.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
And the goldfish came from Target, okay, and they were like, bogo,
I think it targets.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
I saw I think I saw them at a couple
of the public says that I went to but I
was on a mission for multiple things.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Okay, all right, yeah, interesting, well all quality, all quality products.
You'll say that, all right, Well, we do have some
theme park things gets to Scott says there is a
lot happening in the world of theme parks.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Epic Universe single day tickets now on sale.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Anybody can buy them.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Anybody can buy them. Oh, the month of June sold.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Out, I mentioned.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
So yeah, I don't think I want to go to
like next why February.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Why because it's going to be crowded.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Well, it's only think about it this way, It's only
going to get more crowded the more it goes on,
you think, yes, because more more word of mouth, more
people gonna know about it.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
It's like I just it's gonna just keep trending upwards.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I think it would be like the early days of
Harry potter Land where you couldn't get on that island
for like seventeen hours.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
Well, I think they're they're smartly selling things out, capping
it so it doesn't get that.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Well, okay, so it's a good experience when you go.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
That's what I think they want to make sure because
we talked about this last week. They don't want like
what happened with the volcano bay or when you know
the first Wizarding World area opened up where it was
a ten hour wait just to get into the park.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yeah, yeah, I still won't go to a park in
juniors line because it's miserable.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
But good luck to you guys. I'm so hot. Probably
gonna be buying tickets this weekend.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
You're gonna do it. Yeah, you're a trooper though, You'll
get out there and you'll do it.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
I want to do it, Yeah, I want to. I
want to do it.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
I mean the thing is like like now, because like
July is now when you can buy, gives it enough
time to like figure everything out. I mean right now,
team member previews where they can bring family is.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Going on now. Okay, so it's ramping up more.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
We should have just got jobs there.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Look, we've talked about this, I know I sent wait No,
that was for the other park. Yeah, that job hosting.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah yeah, but yeah, they're going now. So how about
July fourth, because remember last year July fourth, the park's
were kind of dead. This year, let's do it this year,
let's July fourth it Okay, maybe it'll be dead, all right,
probably not gonna be dead. It's probably not gonna be dead.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
It's anywhere between like one seventy nine and one nine.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
For a single day.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Yeah, that's not bad.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Wait, I thought tickets are star.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Actually sorry sorry, one nine to one is probably gonna
be July fourth. Okay, it just depends on when you
get your tickets.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
See, I always I'm in my mind this head stills like, oh,
one hundred and nine dollars for a ticket, which still
seems like a lot to me. But yeah, I'm thinking
a hundred nine bucks for a day.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I booked my Disney ce tickets, which is the secondary
park in Tokyo, fifty nine dollars. I just booked them
like two days. Agay, they know what's going on in Japan.
Oh and Scott pro tip if you want to go
to the Nintendo Museum, you're really really like, it's a
whole price, I'll go.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
We've talked about this, well, you you've talked about your struggles.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Jimmy's going to Japan soon. So he's he's going to
experience Disney in Japan.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Yes, so that's going on, and then over at SeaWorld
Sea World let's go on sea World.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
They have a festival and there's a sea Life and
there are roller coasters, and they're tearing down the old
Expedition Arctic whatever and replacing it with with a new thing,
which is what something which is what I don't know,
Expedition everest Odyssey.

The world's first fully immersive Arctic experience.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Okay, I'm in.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I mean, SeaWorld's been knocking out of the park with
their rides. Like if you just are straight up a
ride person, SeaWorld's your park.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
That whole frozen Arctic experience though, like I'm not talking
about the ride, the original ride, but just like you know,
walking through.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
That whole section. It's really really well done and really
well themed. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Yeah, they unveiled it this week or the details of it.
It's basically soaring but through the Arctic, okay, and it
is all real filmed footage and they're no CG idol.

Speaker 6 (10:44):
Every all three of the parks do things wildly different.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Disney's like, we're making a new ride. We'll see in
ten years. The Universe is like, we're making a new ride.

How did you not know about that?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I haven't been to SeaWorld months, but.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
You I'm sure they sent you emails about that.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I don't read emails. I don't even read my work emails.
World email, you.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Barely read your text. If you're being honest, I don't
comprehend words. I gave you directions how to get here today.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Oh yeah, and.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
I'm not conn I'm read me and me and Jimmy
are convinced you either plowed through this roadblock or parked
at the roadblock and walk.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
That's the two options that could have happened.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
So that's going on at SeaWorld right now.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Yeah, that's awesome. That sounds great.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Over at Disney. Disney, a lot going on over there.
They do one well, they lowered the annual pass down payment.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Okay, I was writing back to you and it didn't
end up sending last week. I'm like, this is math
for stupid people. It's just like, oh, it costs less. No,
it doesn't. It costs the same, dummy, You just don't
have to pay it right now. You're still gonna pay it.
Speaker 2 (12:15):

opposed to two hundred and five dollars.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
And it increases your monthly bill by whatever.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Uh nine dollars.
Speaker 2 (12:27):

Speaker 6 (15:01):
But yeah, they're gonna be We're getting a new something
with Smugglers Run.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
That's awesome because we've been waiting for that since like
day one. Well, well, this is another thing that we
willed into existence.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Well, originally it was supposed to be kind of like
Star Toars, yes with switch, where it would be a
different experience every time, or one of like a couple. Right.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Yeah, I wanted I could be wrong about this, But
wasn't there two different new like new ones that they
were gonna come out with Smugglers Run, so there'd be
three different options.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Now, I only it's.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Only the Mando one. Yeah, okay, I saw the chewy
the Chewy mode. Chris Hardwork did that on social media
this week. Yeah, I saw that to Chewy Mode, which
we have not done yet.

Well you can't.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yeah, okay, pass pass yet. Fair point.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Last time I went to UH, I was on Smugglers Run.
We only had four people in our cabin because I
guess it like not a lot of people in and
I was like, can you help us do Chewy Mode?
Speaker 2 (15:59):
He's like, you need six people? Can you not help?
You got two hands, buddy, come on, let's go. Well
he would have had to do you.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Like, mister fantastic tru Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
You can reach on the other side of that thing.
You can do it. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
When I the last time I wrote it was there
was only four of four people on it. And I'm
glad the pilots had fun. I'm glad they had.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Fun because they don't speak a lot of times you
end up with pilots that don't speak English because they're
here visiting from elsewhere and they don't understand what the
heck you're supposed to be doing.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
I'm glad they had fun.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
Yeah, But also, we're gonna get some bad extroids wandering
around Galax's edge.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I want Beto Emo.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Well, well, we're getting the little little guys that are
a little bit bigger than the one from the Fallen
Order game.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Yeah, a little guy. Yeah, that's cool. They're just gonna
roll around the park. Nobody's gonna pick one up and
just put in their backpack and make their way out.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
I think they're gonna be like kind of maintained.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Somebody's may watch them. They got it, they got it.
They'll have a person watching exactly, well, they'll have a
person controlling them because they're not actual, truly like sentient.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
Why not because there's a because there's a little historical
film called The Terminator.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Mmm, I've seen that just about any sci fi movie
that's ever had robots in it.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Yeah, they always turn on you. And then yet we
have Alexa's and Google's and series all running our stuff.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Speaking of Disney, they've been releasing there's a new imagineering
YouTube show that they have.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Okay, uh, I'm not.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
Sure why they wouldn't also just put this on their streaming.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Service plus Yeah, why not another show Jimmy would love
but he won't watch.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
But it's uh, they've been showing. It's called we call
it imagineering. Okay, And they've been showing some details of
the cars themed off road rally race attraction. Okay, and
it it looks pretty cool, except the footage just shows
them driving an ATV around.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
I mean, that sounds fun too, though, but it's like,
that's not gonna be the right I want to run
an ATV. Well, no, you're gonna be driving like a
car's car welt. Just throw it, throw a maider body
on it, and go to town.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
There's some eyes on the windshield.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Ye get her done? Oh my god, do you know
how many of those get rolled over? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:09):
I actually he broke his arm riding one of those things.
I think years ago. I think I think he was
actually in a go cart, like one of those fast
go carts, and he broke his arm.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
I am just kind of curious how this is gonna
how it like, I'm I'm sure they'll figure it out.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
In the rain, it's gonna be an interesting thing because
it's dirt.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
It's called muddon, it's called mudden.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
But it's like, I would they even attempt running that.
I don't remember what they do with radiator springs racers
if that even runs in the rain. Over at California Adventure,
which basically it's the same ride.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I feel like if it rains, you can only ride
Maid and you're just mudding. It's a muddon attraction at
that point.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Well, Mater isn't. I don't think gonna be one of
the cars.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Well that's ridiculous, that's insanity. How do we have cars
without Mater? Because it goes Lightning the Queen then because it's.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
A race and Mader isn't in Radio Springs Racers.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Nah, I don't like this. What is Lightning McQueen in it?
I think so.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
I think he is one of the cars that you
could raid.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
It makes sense to him and the girl car little eyelashes,
that's how you know she's a girl.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
You haven't even done the ride?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
No, No, I've been on it.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
It's a fun ride. It's a pretty fun ride.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Well, I mean you've been on test track, right, Yes,
well then you've kind of been on it. Okay, it's
the exact sime, same ride vehicles.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Great, you do see Mader on the ride?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Peter done? Yeah? Yeah, I think now that I think
about it, like when you're going through like one of
the caves or whatever, I think he's like, yeah, ah,
may come and tell you if you get stuck.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
The sheriff appears, warning guests to slow down into fallow.
Mader into town.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
For the big race.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Along the way, Mader takes the ride vehicles tractor tipping,
but he awakens Frank. The combine arst chases them away.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
So they make a new a new thing with Major
and Larry just gets like another addition onto his house
pretty much. Yeah, God, it must be great. Yep, that
must be great.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
Good good for him?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Yeah, absolutely, yeah, University of Nebraska every time, every time.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
It's really good for those here you go Huskers.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
But also, speaking of Disney, in this YouTube, they've been
releasing south By Southwest was this past weekend. Okay, so
they showed off the first sneak peek at the loading
area for the Uh Monsters Inc.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Door coaster.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Oh, this is gonna be cool. I'm looking forward.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
It's their first ever vertical lifted roller coaster for Disney.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I'm curious. Everybody's up in their game, like every everything's happening,
like with SeaWorld pumping up all these coasters, you know,
at the Universe coming into town. Everybody's got up their
game because it's it's a true battle. Now. I mean
it's you know, Disney and Universal, but it's still you.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
Know, I'm I mean, everything that I'm seeing on social
media about the Monster's unchained attraction.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Is it is much top of the top.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
I saw one were at the end it becomes you
get to do karaoke of the monster mash okay.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
With the characters.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I don't believe that.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
How do you know it's a graveyard smash?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
It is a graveyard smash? Hey, can I ask you
something about Universal? Because I don't know if you have
this in your news from you have this in your news?
Is it is? It? Is it gone? Is a long
nightmare over Fast and the Furious. Not here, Oh, it's
somewhere else that went away?
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Yeah, Hollywood, because they're getting a they're getting a Fast
and Furious drifting roller coaster.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Fritz tricked me and he said, we got rid of
it finally.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
No Ah.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
No, My guess is because because they will be sundowning
rip ride rocket is that My hypothesis could be that
when they replace it with a new ride, a new
roller coaster, they could just port that over here.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
Have a drift thing coaster here. Yeah, But but it
might not be we've talked about. It could be Ghostbusters,
it could be Fast and Fairies, could be something completely original.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Missed the Rip Rider rocket. I love that ride.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
Can I run through very quickly?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Some thoughts real quick? This is just your weekly reminder
that Universal is a reason why we don't have cool
Marvel stuff in our Disney parks, Just saying.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Yeah, but we also have cool Marvel rides.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
There's nothing particularly Marvel about any of the rides that's
in Marvel Island other than the Spider Man ride.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
I mean, Hulk.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
It's a roller coaster. That's a pretty good thing. You
mean it's like roller coaster? Yeah, but it's it could
be anything.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
Do you want some quick epic universe thoughts? The music
loop is very good, Okay. Stardust Racers is Velocit Coaster
on steroids.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Oh wow, Okay.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
The dueling one. It's not racing yet.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Yeah, Velocit Coaster and steroids. It's already on right exactly. Well,
apparently Iron Glossie's worse than Velosa Coaster. Okay, and make
my way to Bush Gardens and parking spot there.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
Apparently Dark Universes. That's it. It's it's it's the thing,
the land, it's.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
The thing I want to see.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Toothless, That's what I'm looking for, the Boston Dynamics dog Toothless.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Yeah, I do want to see that. And of course
the Nintendo area is going to be awesome. Yeah, it's
gonna be ridiculous. I see why Scott's bying tickets. I

Harris sad go fish.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
We're eating butter beer snacks on the show tonight, That's
what's up.
Speaker 6 (00:36):
I'm starting to feel it if I'm not gonna lie
the sugar crash or the sugar rat ride right Okay, yeah,
I feel like a king candy right now.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
So we just have to get this show done before
you crash, that's what you're saying.
Speaker 6 (00:49):
Or I might I might have to keep he just
keep that high going, keep putting it in there.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah, So we ended up getting all the butterbeer treats
they could be found. Lauren Campbell dot Com went on
a shopping spree for us today, our number one sponsor
on the show.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
As the resident adult of the Theme Park Podcast.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah yeah, she went out. She hit multiple stores because
all of us struck out looking at sorts. I went
to five, I went to one, I went to one.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
I went to the Public's, the new one, the two
story one over Oak Grows. Yeah, yeah, fancy one.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
But she went around and she found the butter beer Goldfish,
the butterbeer futstripe cookies from Keebler. And I didn't even
know these were a thing because somehow missed this. The
butter beer Hershey's Kisses.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
And the last things that we have are pockey sticks.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Hmmm, pockeys okay? And popcorn. Right.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
The skinny pop.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Yes, the skinny pops were very interesting in because it's
kettlecorn but butter beer flavored.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I mean, the only thing that draws me away from
that is the fact that it's called skinny pop. It
sounds like it might be too healthy.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Well, don't worry, We the three of us can all
stand a use some skinny pie.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Well, if you get the skinny pop, I'm gonna melt
down some of these cases and port over it. That's
already what's on it.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
That's what I've been saying. That's what I have to do.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
That was one of the ideas that I had for
epic universes. They should have a popcorn.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yeah, butterbeer popcorn, brilliant idea. They can, they can make
the skinny pop one, but maybe even better.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Can we freeze try butter beer skinny pop popcorn?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Can can popcorn be freez drite? Jimmy, I don't feel
like I can. I don't know that anybody would want.
I feel it would turn back into a kernel.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Can we can? We can we try?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I mean, what's what's worth?
Speaker 5 (02:34):
What's the worst that happens?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
We need one of those thirty thousand dollars free striding machines.
But no, they're only like four, They're only four. Why
am I not freeze driving my candy all the time?
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Why might I? Again? I make the joke every time.
It's the King of the Hill episode where Bill gets
a turkey fryer basically, and it's deep frying everything and.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Deep frying all.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
That's what you would be doing. Yeah, can I can
I deep fry a code red Mountain?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Deal?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I mean you can try. But here's the deal with
these butterber things. We could recommend a favorite, but we
each have different favorites. Jimmy, I'm the goldfish to me
is where it's at. The goldfish great if you.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Remember Teddy Grams when we were kids, of course, it's
kind of I mean still. Yeah, it's just a tiny
little short bread and it's butterber flavor, flavor, a perfect comparison.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
And then when you when you're looking at the calories,
you can eat thirty one pieces. That's a serving. It's
only a bag one hundred and forty calories. I ate
a bag.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
How many is the bag?
Speaker 6 (03:35):
You hit the bag in like you hit the bag
like like Scooby Doo style where you're jaw.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
It's actually not that bad because there is five servings. Okay,
I'm five people, and it's only one hundred and forty
calories per serving. So really, like, if you ate this
whole bag and smashed it once, what are you at?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Like, uh, I don't want to do the math. You look,
you're at five hundred and eighty calories no more. Yeah, yeah,
there's more.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
The serving suggestion on my favorite seven seven hundred calories
two cookies is the serving suggestion.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yes, I ate two and one and like one fight
you sandwich them. I want the I want the frosting
on all sides, and what are you doing with these?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah? The kisses.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
The kisses are my Scot's fist stripe. Man, I'm in
the kiss I'm in the kiss factory.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
A serving size is seven, okay, bad. I don't even
think I've hit a serving yet. And it's only one
hundred and seventy calories.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
You yeah, you got permission to have a serving?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah? Serving? Yeah. See, that's what I like about the goldfish. Man,
I can eat thirty one of them. M hmm. They're good.
They're good. But if you can find these in your store,
try them. They're really hard to find.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Buy them first and then try them.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I just eat them in the store. One of those.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
I can't do that. What No, I gotta wait until
the card has been swiped.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Yeah, I'm I'm always offended when I see somebody just
ate something in the store and left the package there
on the shof I'm like, come on, oh, I've never
seen that.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
You never see, well, you don't go to Walmart. I know.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
I was like, but like, I know when people are
like in like the checkout line and they like start
like opening up a candy bar.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Wrapper, I'm just now I'll scan it, don't worry.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Yeah, yeah, I've never done that.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah, so look for it in your stores, Jimmy. One
came from CBS. The Hershey Skisses came from CVS.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
This, the Hergie Kisses came from the CVS over in
Altamont Springs, right by where Winghouse used to be.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Okay, all right, and you got to ask for the manager.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
What if they buy in the pharmacy, because some people
like you would probably hoard them.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
They got them upstairs. Oh so you just asked for
the manager. Okay, how did Lauren know to do that?
Speaker 5 (05:51):
She's an adult. It isn't afraid to ask for help.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I guess that's that's it right there. Okay, all right,
And then.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
She found the fudge stripes and she didn't tell me exactly,
but I suspect I forbid you to go there.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Well, the thing is, I went to five stores. I
bet if I ask somebody, they probably could be like,
oh yeah, we got them in the back here.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah yeah, we are heap keeping them for ourselves.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
And the goldfish came from Target, okay, and they were like, bogo,
I think it targets.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
I saw I think I saw them at a couple
of the public says that I went to but I
was on a mission for multiple things.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Okay, all right, yeah, interesting, well all quality, all quality products.
You'll say that, all right, Well, we do have some
theme park things gets to Scott says there is a
lot happening in the world of theme parks.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Epic Universe single day tickets now on sale.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Anybody can buy them.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Anybody can buy them. Oh, the month of June sold.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Out, I mentioned.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
So yeah, I don't think I want to go to
like next why February.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Why because it's going to be crowded.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Well, it's only think about it this way, It's only
going to get more crowded the more it goes on,
you think, yes, because more more word of mouth, more
people gonna know about it.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
It's like I just it's gonna just keep trending upwards.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I think it would be like the early days of
Harry potter Land where you couldn't get on that island
for like seventeen hours.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
Well, I think they're they're smartly selling things out, capping
it so it doesn't get that.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Well, okay, so it's a good experience when you go.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
That's what I think they want to make sure because
we talked about this last week. They don't want like
what happened with the volcano bay or when you know
the first Wizarding World area opened up where it was
a ten hour wait just to get into the park.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yeah, yeah, I still won't go to a park in
juniors line because it's miserable.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
But good luck to you guys. I'm so hot. Probably
gonna be buying tickets this weekend.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
You're gonna do it. Yeah, you're a trooper though, You'll
get out there and you'll do it.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
I want to do it, Yeah, I want to. I
want to do it.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
I mean the thing is like like now, because like
July is now when you can buy, gives it enough
time to like figure everything out. I mean right now,
team member previews where they can bring family is.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Going on now. Okay, so it's ramping up more.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
We should have just got jobs there.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Look, we've talked about this, I know I sent wait No,
that was for the other park. Yeah, that job hosting.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah yeah, but yeah, they're going now. So how about
July fourth, because remember last year July fourth, the park's
were kind of dead. This year, let's do it this year,
let's July fourth it Okay, maybe it'll be dead, all right,
probably not gonna be dead. It's probably not gonna be dead.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
It's anywhere between like one seventy nine and one nine.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
For a single day.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Yeah, that's not bad.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Wait, I thought tickets are star.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Actually sorry sorry, one nine to one is probably gonna
be July fourth. Okay, it just depends on when you
get your tickets.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
See, I always I'm in my mind this head stills like, oh,
one hundred and nine dollars for a ticket, which still
seems like a lot to me. But yeah, I'm thinking
a hundred nine bucks for a day.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I booked my Disney ce tickets, which is the secondary
park in Tokyo, fifty nine dollars. I just booked them
like two days. Agay, they know what's going on in Japan.
Oh and Scott pro tip if you want to go
to the Nintendo Museum, you're really really like, it's a
whole price, I'll go.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
We've talked about this, well, you you've talked about your struggles.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Jimmy's going to Japan soon. So he's he's going to
experience Disney in Japan.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Yes, so that's going on, and then over at SeaWorld
Sea World let's go on sea World.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
They have a festival and there's a sea Life and
there are roller coasters, and they're tearing down the old
Expedition Arctic whatever and replacing it with with a new thing,
which is what something which is what I don't know,
Expedition everest Odyssey.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
The world's first fully immersive Arctic experience.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Okay, I'm in.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I mean, SeaWorld's been knocking out of the park with
their rides. Like if you just are straight up a
ride person, SeaWorld's your park.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
That whole frozen Arctic experience though, like I'm not talking
about the ride, the original ride, but just like you know,
walking through.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
That whole section. It's really really well done and really
well themed. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Yeah, they unveiled it this week or the details of it.
It's basically soaring but through the Arctic, okay, and it
is all real filmed footage and they're no CG idol.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
They're coming along quite a bit on this thing. Like
I saw somebody had posted like somebody got like a
backstage tour, like they made quite a bit of this thing.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
It is opening Spring twenty twenty five, Okay, so about a.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Year No Spring twenty twenty five this year. Wait, when's spring?
Oh we're in spring. Spring starts in like three weeks

Got a whole different game going on? They're like, hey,

Speaker 5 (10:42):
Yeah, if that's the that's thing.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
Every all three of the parks do things wildly different.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Disney's like, we're making a new ride. We'll see in
ten years. The Universe is like, we're making a new ride.
Here's what it's gonna be. No, no, no no.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
They're like, we're making a new ride. We just won't

Speaker 2 (11:00):
And then SeaWorld's like, hey, guys, well you guys were
doing stuff. We made our new ride. If you want
to come check it out, it's cool whatever.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
This is a family friendly thrill ride.

They need one. They really needed one.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
A family ride height requirement thirty nine inches perfect kids
and adults, and annual pass holders will get exclusive access
to the groundbreaking attraction.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Oh wait, hey, I'm an annual pass hold.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
How did you not know about that?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I haven't been to SeaWorld months, but.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
You I'm sure they sent you emails about that.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I don't read emails. I don't even read my work emails.
World email, you.

thing's thing.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Yeah, there you go, it's free parking. It's fine.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I just if I'm gonna park a resort, I'm going
to like Polynesian or boardwalk and then make them away
to the one of parks.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
Well, there's other stuff coming that will that shoot that
could entice you. Okay, the Mandalorian is coming to Smugglers
Run Mando Mando and bringing group with him. Yep, they're
gonna like, are they just gonna be a wanderers? No,
they're gonna be in the ride. Oh, they're gonna already
They're already wanderers Okay, in galaxies at night, right right,
(14:55):
right right. They will now become a part of because
timelines don't matter anymore.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
Apparently we don't care about that.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
But yeah, they're gonna be We're getting a new something
with Smugglers Run.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
That's awesome because we've been waiting for that since like
day one. Well, well, this is another thing that we
willed into existence.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Well, originally it was supposed to be kind of like
Star Toars, yes with switch, where it would be a
different experience every time, or one of like a couple. Right.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Yeah, I wanted I could be wrong about this, But
wasn't there two different new like new ones that they
were gonna come out with Smugglers Run, so there'd be
three different options.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Now, I only it's.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Only the Mando one. Yeah, okay, I saw the chewy
the Chewy mode. Chris Hardwork did that on social media
this week. Yeah, I saw that to Chewy Mode, which
we have not done yet.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
Well you can't.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yeah, okay, pass pass yet. Fair point.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Last time I went to UH, I was on Smugglers Run.
We only had four people in our cabin because I
guess it like not a lot of people in and
I was like, can you help us do Chewy Mode?
Speaker 2 (15:59):
He's like, you need six people? Can you not help?
You got two hands, buddy, come on, let's go. Well
he would have had to do you.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Like, mister fantastic tru Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
You can reach on the other side of that thing.
You can do it. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
When I the last time I wrote it was there
was only four of four people on it. And I'm
glad the pilots had fun. I'm glad they had.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Fun because they don't speak a lot of times you
end up with pilots that don't speak English because they're
here visiting from elsewhere and they don't understand what the
heck you're supposed to be doing.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
I'm glad they had fun.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
Yeah, But also, we're gonna get some bad extroids wandering
around Galax's edge.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I want Beto Emo.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Well, well, we're getting the little little guys that are
a little bit bigger than the one from the Fallen
Order game.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Yeah, a little guy. Yeah, that's cool. They're just gonna
roll around the park. Nobody's gonna pick one up and
just put in their backpack and make their way out.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
I think they're gonna be like kind of maintained.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Somebody's may watch them. They got it, they got it.
They'll have a person watching exactly, well, they'll have a
person controlling them because they're not actual, truly like sentient.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
Why not because there's a because there's a little historical
film called The Terminator.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Mmm, I've seen that just about any sci fi movie
that's ever had robots in it.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Yeah, they always turn on you. And then yet we
have Alexa's and Google's and series all running our stuff.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Speaking of Disney, they've been releasing there's a new imagineering
YouTube show that they have.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Okay, uh, I'm not.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
Sure why they wouldn't also just put this on their streaming.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Service plus Yeah, why not another show Jimmy would love
but he won't watch.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
But it's uh, they've been showing. It's called we call
it imagineering. Okay, And they've been showing some details of
the cars themed off road rally race attraction. Okay, and
it it looks pretty cool, except the footage just shows
them driving an ATV around.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
I mean, that sounds fun too, though, but it's like,
that's not gonna be the right I want to run
an ATV. Well, no, you're gonna be driving like a
car's car welt. Just throw it, throw a maider body
on it, and go to town.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
There's some eyes on the windshield.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Ye get her done? Oh my god, do you know
how many of those get rolled over? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:09):
I actually he broke his arm riding one of those things.
I think years ago. I think I think he was
actually in a go cart, like one of those fast
go carts, and he broke his arm.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
I am just kind of curious how this is gonna
how it like, I'm I'm sure they'll figure it out.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
In the rain, it's gonna be an interesting thing because
it's dirt.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
It's called muddon, it's called mudden.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
But it's like, I would they even attempt running that.
I don't remember what they do with radiator springs racers
if that even runs in the rain. Over at California Adventure,
which basically it's the same ride.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I feel like if it rains, you can only ride
Maid and you're just mudding. It's a muddon attraction at
that point.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Well, Mater isn't. I don't think gonna be one of
the cars.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Well that's ridiculous, that's insanity. How do we have cars
without Mater? Because it goes Lightning the Queen then because it's.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
A race and Mader isn't in Radio Springs Racers.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Nah, I don't like this. What is Lightning McQueen in it?
I think so.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
I think he is one of the cars that you
could raid.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
It makes sense to him and the girl car little eyelashes,
that's how you know she's a girl.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
You haven't even done the ride?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
No, No, I've been on it.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
It's a fun ride. It's a pretty fun ride.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Well, I mean you've been on test track, right, Yes,
well then you've kind of been on it. Okay, it's
the exact sime, same ride vehicles.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Great, you do see Mader on the ride?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Peter done? Yeah? Yeah, I think now that I think
about it, like when you're going through like one of
the caves or whatever, I think he's like, yeah, ah,
may come and tell you if you get stuck.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
The sheriff appears, warning guests to slow down into fallow.
Mader into town.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
For the big race.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Along the way, Mader takes the ride vehicles tractor tipping,
but he awakens Frank. The combine arst chases them away.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
So they make a new a new thing with Major
and Larry just gets like another addition onto his house
pretty much. Yeah, God, it must be great. Yep, that
must be great.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
Good good for him?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Yeah, absolutely, yeah, University of Nebraska every time, every time.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
It's really good for those here you go Huskers.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
But also, speaking of Disney, in this YouTube, they've been
releasing south By Southwest was this past weekend. Okay, so
they showed off the first sneak peek at the loading
area for the Uh Monsters Inc.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Door coaster.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Oh, this is gonna be cool. I'm looking forward.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
It's their first ever vertical lifted roller coaster for Disney.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I'm curious. Everybody's up in their game, like every everything's happening,
like with SeaWorld pumping up all these coasters, you know,
at the Universe coming into town. Everybody's got up their
game because it's it's a true battle. Now. I mean
it's you know, Disney and Universal, but it's still you.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
Know, I'm I mean, everything that I'm seeing on social
media about the Monster's unchained attraction.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Is it is much top of the top.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
I saw one were at the end it becomes you
get to do karaoke of the monster mash okay.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
With the characters.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I don't believe that.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
How do you know it's a graveyard smash?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
It is a graveyard smash? Hey, can I ask you
something about Universal? Because I don't know if you have
this in your news from you have this in your news?
Is it is? It? Is it gone? Is a long
nightmare over Fast and the Furious. Not here, Oh, it's
somewhere else that went away?
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Yeah, Hollywood, because they're getting a they're getting a Fast
and Furious drifting roller coaster.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Fritz tricked me and he said, we got rid of
it finally.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
No Ah.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
No, My guess is because because they will be sundowning
rip ride rocket is that My hypothesis could be that
when they replace it with a new ride, a new
roller coaster, they could just port that over here.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
Have a drift thing coaster here. Yeah, But but it
might not be we've talked about. It could be Ghostbusters,
it could be Fast and Fairies, could be something completely original.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Missed the Rip Rider rocket. I love that ride.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
Can I run through very quickly?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Some thoughts real quick? This is just your weekly reminder
that Universal is a reason why we don't have cool
Marvel stuff in our Disney parks, Just saying.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Yeah, but we also have cool Marvel rides.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
There's nothing particularly Marvel about any of the rides that's
in Marvel Island other than the Spider Man ride.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
I mean, Hulk.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
It's a roller coaster. That's a pretty good thing. You
mean it's like roller coaster? Yeah, but it's it could
be anything.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
Do you want some quick epic universe thoughts? The music
loop is very good, Okay. Stardust Racers is Velocit Coaster
on steroids.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Oh wow, Okay.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
The dueling one. It's not racing yet.
Speaker 2 (22:54):

apparently Iron Glossie's worse than Velosa Coaster. Okay, and make
my way to Bush Gardens and parking spot there.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
Apparently Dark Universes. That's it. It's it's it's the thing,
the land, it's.
