We all have them. And we've probably spent hundreds of dollars on them. Yes my friends, I'm talking about Theme Park Souvenirs. From on-ride photos to Disney Vinylmations to the dozens of park shirts you have in your drawers, the amusement industry makes a TON of money off of us and our need to commemorate our visits to their parks. But some of the souvenirs we by hold a special place in our hearts (and in our homes.) On this week's show, we explore the best and the worst souvenirs owned by the CoasterRadio.com audience. Believe it our not, there are some heartwarming stories that come along with some of them! We also hear all about EB's trip across America. NOt only did EB encounter the ghosts of lazy Civil War soldiers, he also had a chance to ride a major roller coaster with his son for the first time. The guys also talk about how they saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II with the new D-Box Motion Technology that is making its way to movie theaters across the country. Did EB and Mike enjoy having their theater seats move, sway and vibrate along with the action? All of this, plus a Live Trip Report and MUCH, MUCH MORE!!! |

Some of the best moments for a theme park fans are the weeks, days and hours leading up to an highly anticipated trip. And each of us has unique things that we like to do to get in the proper mindset for a day of non-stop fun at the parks. On this week's show, we talk about all of the different "rituals" that amusement fans take part in before reaching the park. As always, the CoasterRadio.com audience steps up big time to tell us about the specific things they do before their big trips. |

Disney park fans are some of the most passionate people around. They know everything there is to know about Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Uncle Walt, Imagineering and pretty much anything else related to the Disney Company and their theme parks. There's even a group of diehards who organize "unofficial" fan celebrations at the Disney Parks in Orlando and Anaheim. October 1st, 2011 marks the 40th anniversary of the Walt Disney World Resort, and a group called WDWCelebrations will be hosting an unbelievable fan-organized event to complement the official activities offered by the Walt Disney Company. This week, we're joined by Adam Roth, co-founder of WDWCelebrations, to talk about Project XL: The World at 40 which will take place September 29th - October 2nd. He'll tell us about the history of their organization and what they have in store for their biggest fan celebration yet! Plus, you can find out how to sign up for the fun! We'll also have a Live Trip Report from Darien Lake, an update on EB's Chickens and much more! |

Unlike most sequels, this one is actually better than the first! We had so many great submissions from the show we did a few weeks ago about "Theme Park Mashups", we had to break the show into two parts! This week, we once again have our listeners take two of their favorite attractions and combine them to create the ULTIMATE ride. For instance... Imagine mashing up Disney's "Haunted Mansion" with the "Splash Battle" at Dollywood. OR... How about trying to combine an S&S Space Shot ride with a B&M Interted Coaster like Alpengeist at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. OR... What if someone combined Soarin' with Toy Story Mania? What would that be like? Plus, we also have a Live Trip Report from Hersheypark and a whole lot more! |
