And, what’s this about Captain Cacao 🧸 and Wicked rides storming the parks? Tune in for laughs, crazy theories, and maybe a little actual info — because guessing about theme parks is half the fun!

• SeaWorld Ohio: A look back at the chaotic closure of SeaWorld Ohio and why it’s still a cautionary tale for the industry (plus: flying whales) 🦈
• Cedar Point: Shady thoughts on their coaster lineup. Not all of them are fan favorites, folks. 🍿
