After catching up on the latest theme park news from the last month Mr. Lord of the Rings returns to give us an update on the business before tackling a bunch of great listener feedback questions.

Legend is back with his review of Rise of the Resistance (no spoilers). What happens when Hyde and Legend play the role of Santa at your local park? We talk adding rides or changing policies at a bunch of parks across the country. Spoiler alert… sometimes we opted for more booze over more rides.

Don’t write this episode off just yet… some news is covered so regardless you’ll want to tune in for at least that. Otherwise, since there has been zero news Hyde invited his long-time friend Bryan (Twitter: @rockceratops) on the show to talk international coaster trips.

Kenny is back from his big California trip and we unpack everything from the trip including his first-ever visit to Disneyland. Then tackle the closure of La Feria in Mexico and the opening of American Dream.

Beard and Ranger are back with Hyde to talk about the second half of their big European trip. Does Expedition GeForce live up to the hype? What about Europa? Is it as good as people say? Listen to find out that and to hear Ranger pronounce all the strange German ride names. Who knew he... Read more »

If you haven’t been living under a rock this past week you can probably guess what was the big news we talked about. That’s right the new Hersheypark restaurant concept art! Doesn’t it look sweet?
