Park Rush

It's a pretty much Disney-exclusive week of news on this week's show, including an update on Web-Slingers: A Spider-Man Adventure at Disneyland and confirmation that Joe Biden will be installed at Magic Kingdom's Hall Of Presidents. Apologies for the slightly robotic tinge to Josh's voice this week - Tom's attempts to remove some irritating echo created another problem entirely.

It's a packed week of theme park news this week as Disney make yet more cuts, including its popular bus service from Orlando International Airport, coronavirus delays the opening of Super Nintendo World yet again, and more! Plus, we discuss whether the Hall Of Presidents still has a future at Magic Kingdom following the events at the US Capitol.

On this week's show we take a look at leaked footage from Super Nintendo World just weeks before it's due to open at Universal Studios Japan, celebrate a major milestone for The London Resort, and examine what's going on with Magic Kingdom's TRON coaster.

Tom and Josh bring in 2021 by looking back on the year that was and picking out one or two things that theme park fans can look forward to over the next 12 months.

Merry Christmas! Josh is here to ensure you get your Park Rush fix over the festive break with his second annual festive theme park bracket, this time pitting video games against one another in a fight to the death. See you in 2021!

We wipe away our Tier 4 tears to play and talk about Planet Coaster: Console Edition - the final theme park video game we have on our list until someone releases a new one! From how it translates from PC to how it holds up in its own right, there's plenty to discuss. Stay safe out there everyone, and have as happy a Christmas as you possibly can.

We reach the penultimate episode of our current theme park video game review series with Jurassic World Evolution! Tom's been playing the Xbox version of the game and has some thoughts on how developer Frontier - best known for RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Planet Coaster - have translated this beloved license into the theme park management game space.

Universal delivered the goods when it came to podcast topics this week - we've got an opening date for Super Nintendo World in Japan and new details on its first two rides, a hype reel for Islands Of Adventure's upcoming VelociCoaster, and one of our listeners goes on an intrepid cookie hunt through the company's Orlando parks.

It's a packed show of theme park news this week, from Disneyland rolling out Spider-Bot merchandise well in advance of its new Spider-Man ride at the upcoming Avengers Campus, to Imagineeering legend Joe Rohde announcing his retirement. There's an update for excellent theme park video game Parkitect, and plenty more. Plus lots of waffle on coronavirus and the Xbox Series X.

It's been a busy week of news for US theme parks, despite the growing prevalence of COVID-19 across the country. We've got new looks at SeaWorld's Ice Breaker and Busch Gardens' Iron Gwazi, which are both due to open in Florida in spring 2021. Also this week, Disneyland has begun a very steady reopening in California, and Disney World is preparing to start letting guests hopping between parks once again. Plus, some fresh glimpses of Guardians Of The Galaxy: Mission Breakout and more!
