We will be back with a brand-new episode next week but for now, enjoy this bonus episode as Ryan O'Reilly recaps all of the incredible fun he had at RetroMagic hosted by RetroWDW.com and the Lake Buena Vista Historical Society!

We take a trip to the middle east, Dubai in the UAE to be specific! Today we gander at three cancelled Dubai theme parks all from some of the top names in the industry... but not all created by them! We'll be exploring more cancelled Dubai theme parks in 2023!

After today's episode, the show will be taking a brief hiatus for the rest of April, but will return in early May.

How else do you follow up a silly episode with some silly outtakes! Listen to us poke some fun at Disney's America, a topic that rest assured, we will get to someday, as well as briefly discuss Walt Disney Animation Studios' 2005 magnum opus CHICKEN LITTLE. We'll back with a new episode next week!

BY POPULAR DEMAND! We finally take a look at the sadly never-built Ursula from the Little Mermaid-themed spinner attraction that was to be at Disney's California Adventure. Join us as we get emotional and introspective over this heartbreaking loss of themed entertainment.

Enjoy this exclusive, never-before-seen concept art of the attraction: https://imgur.com/sIpiD6r

There also might be stuff after the topic, but it's not that important. Not nearly as important as the crown jewel of unbuilt attractions!

Calling Dick Tracy! Head back to 1990 when Michael Eisner thought the yellow trenchcoat-wearing detective would be America's hottest new action hero, and was planning an E-Ticket ride that armed tourists with tommy guns! 

In addition: we talk about the new immersive Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser experience!

Today's episode is ad-free in solidarity with the current LGBTQ protests due to both harmful legislation and corporate indifference, namely that of The Walt Disney Company. We encourage you to donate to one of the following charities:

Woo-hoo! TheRealJims (https://www.youtube.com/user/TheRealJims), Simpsons expert joins us today as we examine three different unbuilt Simpsons rides and lands! This brand-new cromulent episode is sure to embiggen your souls as we seek a Simpsons satirical dark ride, an alternate idea for Universal's "The Simpsons Ride" and even an entire unbuilt Simpsons land!

Follow the yellow brick road to our conclusion to the Frontierland expansion series as we get swept up by an idea from Tony Baxter to build the land of Oz, specifically based on the 2013 Sam Raimi-directed, James Franco-starring film "Oz: The Great and Powerful". Would it have been popular if built, or is there truly no place like home?

Howdy! We continue our Frontierland Expansion series with a look into Geyser Mountain, a Tower of Tower-style thrill ride that was going to tower over Disneyland and Disneyland Paris, where guests would take drilling machines deep into the Earth, only to rocket out via an enormous geyser!

As promised, this week's bonus episode has us suffering through the 1974 Walt Disney Pictures "classic" The Island at the Top of the World. 

"An American archaeologist, lecturing in Norway at the beginning of the 20th century, embarks on a strange mission to find the young son of a wealthy Englishman who has mysteriously disappeared in the Arctic Circle. With the help of a French aeronaut and an Eskimo guide, he discovers a verdant valley, populated for over 1,000 years by time-forgotten Vikings."

Will we survive the incredible boredom enough to find something to talk about for a half-hour? Find out today!

Our Frontierland Expansion series continues next week!

In today's episode, we explore two insane, never-made ideas for Bob Stupak's Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas, Nevada: a life-sized King Kong that climbed the legs of the tower with guests on-board inside, and a massive 700-ft-tall fish hook-shaped coaster that took riders up to speeds of 125 MPH straight down to the Las Vegas Strip. It's a gamble that failed to get past the craps table!

Plus, we also discuss the recent closure of the NBA Experience!
