On The Hub Grass

Across the communities and regions of America, tales and legends haunted the mind of individuals young and old. Our special guest this week, Juliana Cerere, has immersed herself into the melting pot of cultures to design an unique theme park concept.

Who haunts Ravenswood's Manor. In this week's episode, we dive into the secrets and lore surrounding Disneyland Paris' Phantom Manor in Thunder Mesa. 

Take a tour with us through Hong Kong Disneyland's Mystic Manor. Home of the SEA Member, Henry Mystic and Albert the Monkey!

Introduced for Walt Disney World's 50th Anniversary Celebration, three new spectaculars were added to Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Animal Kingdom. Disney's Enchantment is the new nighttime show in Magic Kingdom, which replaced the beloved Happily Ever After. The MK show was met with much controversy from Parks fans by lacking emotion and shoehorning new/misplaced IPs. On the same night, Epcot presented the long-anticipated Harmonious, the firework, laser, and water extravaganza. Finally, we have the hilariously disastrous Animal Kingdom's KiteTales with charming kites and production fiascos.

Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Month of the Mansion. We are your hosts, your ghost hosts. Kindly step all the way in, and make room for everyone. There's no turning back now. Our tour begins with the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland, Disney World, and Tokyo Disneyland.

For years, Jim Henson's The Muppets have inspired, entertained, and awed generations upon generations. Matt and Mason share their unique experiences and relationships with characters like Kermit the Frog, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, and so many more. Beyond The Muppets television shows and movies, Jim Henson created one of the greatest theme park attractions, MuppetVision 3D.

Now abandon land expansion to Animal Kingdom, Beastly Kingdom would put guests face to face with animals of the mythical realm. Discovering a hidden unicorn grotto, sailing the waters of the Fantasia Gardens, and escaping the clutches of a greedy, fire-breathing dragon were all experiences awaiting behind the gates of Beastly Kingdom. Unfortunately, this famed land never came to pass, but now guests can explore the world of Pandora on the hallowed ground.

For 6 Days, Matt and his family enjoyed a summer trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL. On their vacation, they explored the many new attractions and locations across Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios.

ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter was a theater-in-the-round attraction that opened at Disney's Magic Kingdom on June 20th, 1995, which replaced Mission to Mars. In this episode we take a look at the attraction's origins as an ride inspired by the movie Alien, the changes it went through during planning and development and its closure in 2003. Once closed, the attraction was rethemed to the popular 2000's hit movie, Lilo and Stitch, with Stitch's Great Escape.

Two of the most legendary modern Imagineers are Joe Rohde and Tony Baxter. On our show today, we debate the merits of Mr. Animal Kingdom vs. Mr. Disneyland Paris. Both creative men have created classic rides and experiences including: Pandora, Expedition Everest, Big Thunder Mountain, and Splash Mountain, to name a few. Also, we review the newest Pixar film, Luca!

On this episode of On The Hub Grass, we play a variation of the schoolyard game "Kiss, Marry, Kill." But our version is "Keep, Revamp, Level" based on our opinions of Walt Disney World attractions. Both Matt and Mason stump each other with some tough match-ups like Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain and Spaceship Earth, Tower of Terror, Expedition Everest. In addition to our game, we announce the On The Hub Grass Patreon, link below, and our first giveaway!

We review our favorite and not so favorite aspects of the land including the Dora Milaje, to Doctor Strange's Ancient Sanctum, Spider-Man flying high above WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure, and even Ironman's suit (Mark PartyCity). We also preview some of the food at The Shawarma Palace, Terran Treats, Pym Test Kitchen, and Pym Tasting Lab.
