Happy Thanksgiving!

 

Just like the Pilgrims had a gigantic feast when they landed in the new world, we have a virtual feast of theme park goodness for you.

 

This week, we talk about the stories behind our listener's major park disappointments.  We have tales from around the globe all about how different parks have bummed out park guests.

 

It's sort of a "Reverse-Thanksgiving" show!

 

We also have a special visit from EB's pet turkey.  The turkey quickly outgrew EB's house and has moved on to a turkey farm in Indiana.  Just in time for the holidays, we have a heartwarming reunion with father and turkey this week.

 

Plus, some news on the Neil Patrick Harris Project!  Don't forget to take part in our NPH Holiday Video!

Imagine that you were a theme park designer with access to an unlimited budget.

 

As you began to design rides for your park, you'd probably want to enlist the help of some major celebrities to provide the voices behind your rides.

 

On this week's show, we gave our listeners a virtual blank check and asked them to match their favorite celebrity with their favorite theme park ride.

 

We received some very hilarious combinations!

 

Also, the guys will discuss a new driving simulator from Lexus and how it might be converted into the greatest dark ride system ever!  Will we see an attraction like this within the next five years?

 

Plus, there is MAJOR news this week in "The Neil Patrick Harris" Project.  CoasterRadio.com has had several milestones over the years, but the 6:43 mark in this week's show might be one of the greatest ones of all!

 

If that doesn't make you want to take a listen, I don't know what will.

 

We also have a live trip report from a very odd spot in Carowinds and one of our favorite characters makes a surprise appearance to talk sports.

 

It's all this week on CoasterRadio.com!

The original theme park podcast is back with a brand new episode!

 

Back in 1954, Walt Disney had a weekly television show on the ABC Network where he unveiled his plans for Disneyland.

 

Not only did it help finance his park, but it also got people all over the country excited to make the trip to California to see it in person.

 

This week, EB and Mike talk about whether not it would be a good idea to bring this style of TV show back to television.

 

What would a show like this look like?  What parks could you broadcast from?  Would anyone watch?

 

The guys also take a look at a video showing what Six Flags New Orleans looks like five years after Hurricane Katrina.  They talk about what it would take to get them to set foot on the property and why we're fascinated by videos like this.

 

There's also news with The Neil Patrick Harris Project.  This week, it was announced that NPH is the new "Launch Voice" behind California Screamin' at Disneyland!  The guys also announce a holiday project where listeners can help get the attention of Mr. Harris.

 

Plus, you'll hear a live trip report from EPCOT's World Showcase and the story of Mike's failed attempt to get to Disneyland last weekend!

 

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

Clark W. Grizwold was the ultimate parent.

 

All he cared about was giving his family the best vacation ever.  He would do ANYTHING to make his family happy, even if it meant kidnapping John Candy and making him ride the "Screamie Meemie!"

 

Of course, the antics in the movie "Vacation" are overblown.  But the stories we have for you this week are 100% authentic!

 

This week, EB and Mike will share listener stories about the horrible parenting they have seen at the parks.

 

You'll be absolutely shocked at what some of the listeners have seen.  Thankfully, much of it is also pretty funny.

 

The guys will also crown a winner in the "Arquette Arithmetic" contest.  Find out who will win two season passes to the (non-Disney) theme park of their choice!

 

Plus, there's more info on "The Neil Patrick Harris Project!"  The guys will present proof of NPH's love of theme parks and talk about future plans to get his attention.
