It's the review the show has been avoiding for years.  Now, finally, the time has come for Thanks for Riding to do a complete and thorough review of the show's home park: Six Flags Great Adventure.  How does the park stack up?  How many flags will the park get?  How bad is the parking lot, really?  Come on this greatest of adventures... The Six Flags Great Adventure review.

D23!?  What is D23?  Is Thanks for Riding really doing a D23 episode?  Well, sort of.  It's the Disney fan club and the D23 Expo is the fan event.  A big part of that event is the announcement of new Disney park attractions to come.  The latest news from the expo which recently took place is dissected.  How many ways can you dissect a mouse?  Put on your mouse ears and let's find out...  

D23!?... WTF
