Greetings Adventurers and welcome to our salute to all things attractions, but mostly theme parks. In this episode, we're tackling a topic that is definitely not without controversy: What place does history have in theme parks and attractions?
About this Episode
There's been some interesting updates coming out of the world of theme parks as of late. Not only are there plans in the works to replace the theme of Splash Mountain, but just recently Disney announced changes coming to the classic Jungle Cruise. Also, in Orlando, the inauguration of a new President of the United States means updates coming to the Walt Disney World original Hall of Presidents. Given that the hall has had an interesting time in the past few years, it brings up the question of whether the Hall should continue in its current form, or is it time to retire this tribute and give it to the annals of history.
Tune in and hear hosts Nick and Katie discuss these specific examples as well as a few more from past and present. We ask that you listen with an open mind, but if you have a different opinion or just want to let us know your thoughts, feel free to get in touch with us at
