The Golden Horseshoe Review: A Disney Theme Park Podcast

Disney raised the hackles of some by announcing plans to expand Walt Disney World’s Soarin’ and Midway Mania attractions. The debate: should Disney use that money to build new attractions rather than expand existing ones? Join us!

A tiny bonus episode! The Walt Disney Company hasn’t built an animatronic of Walt Disney, allegedly per the family’s wishes. But what does that say about the state of animatronics…and the propriety of building an animatronic of any real person?

On our 59th episode we discuss Disneyland’s 60th Anniversary, including why Louie will be sorry to see Luigi’s Flying Tires fly away, Fantasyland upgrades, Star Wars Land at Disneyland, the Hatbox Ghost, and the Yelp rating of various Disneyland attractions.

We talk more about favorite animatronic figures in Pirates, discuss the Pirates films, try to figure out just what Pooped Pirate is supposed to be doing, then talk live entertainment in the parks. It's all over the place...but a fun discussion. Join us!

Finally, finally, finally...Pirates of the Caribbean! We talk about our likes and dislikes regarding the world's most famous attraction, and compare some of the different versions around the world.

Anybody can come up with ideas for awesome E-Ticket attractions. But the tricky part is coming up with cool A & B Ticket ideas. Join us as we take on the (very hard) challenge of designing fun, small-scale attractions for Disneyland!

Every attraction at Disneyland used to require a ticket. How did that work? And what type of ticket--A, B, C, D, or E--would today's attractions rate?

When you arrive at the park in the morning, what do you do? Alex, Greg, and Louie discuss their techniques for a successful day at Disneyland.

Is it right to have an expensive, private club at Disneyland? Is it right to have any experiences at Disneyland that can't be shared by everyone? Join our discussion!

Louie takes us on a tour of the recent changes at Disneyland's legendary, members-only, Club 33.
