Thanks for Riding

Some rides are so great you just gotta get back in line and experience it again.  You're in luck and there's no one waiting!  But it's not always as easy as breezing through the entrance and hopping in the ride vehicle.  Sometimes you have to sit through the preshow one more time, traverse a lengthy exit path, navigate miles of queue, deal with flights of stairs and a whole host of other obstacles.  Any good ride is usually worth the effort but that doesn't make the process of getting on the thing multiple times in a row any less annoying.

It's the return of the return of the King of the Coasters Tournament!  This time we have pitted the major steel airtime machines from around the nation against each other to see which one reigns supreme.  (At least in the opinion of this show)

So, strap in, get your hands up and your ass in the air!  It's time for King of the Coasters: Airtime Machines!!!  It's almost as fun as actually riding them.  This promises to be the best sequel ever!

Well, masks are back.  It's a sure sign of pandemic.  We're still NOT riding.  Recently, Universal Orlando put out a survey asking prospective guests what will make them feel comfortable to return to the parks when reopening is possible.  It's a very interesting topic.  The survey asks many intriguing questions and the classic analysis on this show is insightful.  In-f'n-wonderful!  

We hope you're staying safe and healthy out there!

Wow!  It's 2020 and things couldn't be any better.  We've had flying cars for 5 years now, the Cubs just keep winning the World Series and medicine has advanced so far that we're healthier and safer than... oh wait...

Oh well, we have pocket computers that we call phones and some people are working on "Real" sex robots.  Haha!  It'll never work.  So, things haven't progressed the way we'd hoped, but we still have podcasts.  And on this on, you're gonna get plenty of quarantine worthy current event analysis.  Just how will 2020 play out for the amusement industry?  Come on down.  Let's find out together.  This content is so good you'll be sheltering in place long after you need to just to listen to more.  Take care of yourselves!

We parked in the parking lot, waited in the queue (maybe even endured a preshow or two), now we're in the station about to board the ride vehicle.  There's a lot to take in at this stage of the attraction.  For instance the station could be enclosed or exposed to the elements, have separate load/unload, theming, etc.

Welcome to the 20's!  It's a new decade now so let's take a look back and pour one on the curb for the rides we lost in the 2010's...or dump all over the majority of them.  It should be fun either way!

There have only been a handful of attractions over the years themed to rated R films.  It seems f*%#$n' weird any park would do this at all given that they're supposed to be catering to f^@%*n' families.  How many can you come up with?

Star Wars Land, Galaxy's Edge, Black Spire Outpost, Batuu, whatever you wanna call it, we did the Orlando version.  Plus Toy Story Land at Hollywood Studios and Hagrid at Islands of Adventure.  Oh boy, there's a lot to unpack here.
