On this week's show, we talk about the interesting theme park items that listeners own. We break down everything from complete roller coaster trains (right) to blueprints. We also talk about the type of things listeners would like to own someday.

We also talk about the recent trend to add advertising to roller coasters. Just as many cities have chosen to wrap their public buses in advertising, some theme park chains have done the same with their roller coasters. Is this a smart move or just a way to cheapen the park?

We also go Off Topic to discuss EB's rediscovery of Tetris and Mike's encounter with a "claw game" where the prizes were ALIVE!

Plus, we have a new challenge for listeners in The David Arquette Project!

The original theme park podcast is back!

This week, EB and Mike tackle H1N1 in the parks.  Is the outbreak affecting the amusement industry?  Or is it not turning out to be the panic inducing event everyone feared?

The guys also talk about having a piece of theme park history in your home.  There are a ton of places to buy theme park artifacts.... everything from Disney resort shower curtains to full size attraction vehicles.  But how much would you spend to take a part of the park home with you?

There's also discussion about possible CoasterRadio.com contest ideas.

EB and Mike also go Off Topic to talk about owning full-size arcade games and the introduction of Google Wave.

Plus, there's a possible lead in The David Arquette Project!

EB and Mike reveal the answers to two simple listener questions:

1) What attraction is so good, you'd wait as long at it took to ride?

2) What attraction is so terrible, you wouldn't ride even it if it had no line at all?

You'll be surprised at some of the answers!

Plus, EB tries Holiday World's Voyage Extreme Brownies.

EB and Mike reveal what CoasterRadio.com listeners do to get a theme park fix in the off-season.

The guys also welcome Kyle and Stacey, who just finished Orlando's 67 Days of Smiles.  They talk to them about what it was like to experience 120 different attractions in 67 days.

The guys also go Off Topic to talk about EB's experience with a loud man in church and Mike reviews the pilot episode of "V".  Plus, Mike laments the increase of 80's remakes with a little help from The Karate Kid's Ralph Macchio.

And don't forget about The David Arquette Project!
