Disney's Hollywood Studios is in the middle of their uber-successul "Star Wars Weekends."

On this week's show, EB and Mike take a look at the pros and cons of such events and wonder if they affect the average park goer.

We also speculate on what other parks could do to join in on the fun.  Do I hear a second for "Back to the Future Weekends" anybody?

The guys listen to trip reports from Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Carowinds and get into a debate about the Intimidator roller coasters that opened this year.

The guys  also hear the listener's thoughts on what five ride types are necessary for the perfect park.  There were some surprising answers.

Since Memorial Day is the unofficial kickoff of summer, EB and Mike relaunch The David Arquette Project by unveiling a new contest!  Will 2010 be the year that we get David Arquette's attention?

Plus, we discuss the rumor of Hagrid being in a fist-fight and C-Pain stops by to review the series finale of LOST - autotune style!

It's all this week on CoasterRadio.com!

This week marks a rather unique situation for us here at the show.

It's one of the few times that EB and Mike found themselves at two different parks in the same week.

So, the guys take full advantage of the situation by bringing you stories of two very different trips.

First, EB tells us about his trip to Holiday World and Splashin' Safari for the Media Day for Wildebeest.  It's the world's longest water coaster.

EB had a chance to ride this monster first-hand, and tells us all about whether it will be a hit or not.

And, after months of preparation, Mike finally made his trek down to Walt Disney World to take part in "The American Idol Experience" at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Mike tells the ENTIRE STORY... from the lead-up, to the audition and whether or not he made it to the "big stage."  It's a wild story.

PLUS, there's news out of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and things don't look good for Hagrid.  It's possible he got in touble for something he said on this very show.

It's all this week on an all new CoasterRadio.com!

The Original Theme Park Podcast is back..... With a Live Remote!

OK, OK... it's a podcast, so it's not technically live.

BUT, this week EB mans the show from our studios in Indiana while Mike checks in from right outside Space Mountain at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

Mike is joined by longtime Coaster Radio host Greg K. and the two brothers talk about their Brothers Reunion trip to Orlando.

They'll talk about their visit to EPCOT, Magic Kingdom and even drop a few hints about what happened at The American Idol Experience at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

EB also plays a live trip report from El Toro at Six Flags Great Adventure and he even poses a question to C-Pain.

Make sure to join us next week as we unveil what happened when Mike auditioned for The American Idol Experience at Disney.  It's a great story!

The Original Theme Park Podcast returns with another all new episode!

When you're cooking the perfect stew, it's important to choose the perfect ingredients. If you don't choose wisely, you're stew is going to be too salty, too bland or worst of all... not tasty enough.

Picking the ingredients for a theme park can be just as difficult.

You need the perfect mix of rides to create a park that will be enjoyed by all.

On this week's show, Mike and EB each list off the five most important types of rides that a park must have to be successful.

The guys also have a mini-celebration of CoasterRadio.com's 5th Anniversary by hearing what listeners believe is the best moment from the show.

EB goes Off-Topic to reveal his new Bird Cam and Mike dishes on what it was like to attend a Coaster Crew karaoke event.

The guys also hear a live trip report from Intimidation 305 and welcome back C-Pain who answers a very controversial question.
