Them There Thrills

Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Orlando has returned and so have we!Join us for a deep dive into what made HHN different this year, and was it for the better?  Well...yes and no.

Can two jaded Nashvillians find the heart of the town they used to love somewhere underneath the skyscrapers and brunch bars of New Nashville?Well, not really, but there's still something here to see and love.On this episode we tackle the Country Music Hall Of Fame and Museum, followed up by a visit to one of the oldest printing presses still in operation.

Alright so long story short....Waverly Hills is one of the scariest places on the planet and we went there.  There's good, there's bad, there's sad.  We talk about it all on this episode. No, we don't have proof of the afterlife but what else would you expect after having to pay a hefty gate fee just to look at the place?Anyway, ghosts are real, and Chris is going to tell you all about it.

So....listen.....Life is hard, to the point that having fun itself seems impossible sometimes.  Join us on a trip to Kentucky Kingdom on an attempt to wring a little joy out of life in the midst of tragedy.Andrea didn't love the park, a rare event for her, and Chris's dad was dying of cancer, so his 'wheeeee's' on rollercoasters were less than enthusiastic.  But baby, them's the breaks, and these are Them There Thrills!

Today we recount our fight with a foggy mountain on the way to see the one and only Bruce Campbell at The Caverns, a very unique underground venue here in Tennessee!On the way Andrea talks her love for Korean dramas, Chris builds some models, and we learn to be nice to bats!

We return from our break for season 2 of Them There Thrills!In this episode we talk about why we've been gone so long, and where we're going from here. We're very interested in talking about travel and events from the point of view of a couple that struggle with mental health, and we want to be there with you to encourage you on your own adventures even when things are tough.So let's get back into things with a look into Mule Day, a city wide celebration in the town of Columbia, Tennessee honoring the true workhorse, the humble mule.

Things are finally warming up, and after a long winter being stuck inside, we finally get to plan the next year of adventures!In this episode, we each bring a list of five 'do-able dream' trips in this laid-back chat.Andrea gets spooky and Chris gets x-treme, and we wouldn't have it any other way.Follow us on Instagram as we boot back up our theme park season!https://www.instagram.com/themtherethrills/

A fated encounter at the Kroger ends with Chris possessing a very special DVD, A Christmas at Dollywood!Join us on our journey through this lovely mess of a Hallmark movie as we blow off some steam from the pressure of the holidays. Grab a warm drink, enjoy the 72 degree Tennessee December evening, and let's try to figure out how this flick came to be.

It's finally here! The crew gets their lucky third back as Kay drops by to talk about what a night at Halloween Horror Nights is like. Then it's time to get down to business as we make a ranking all 10 HHN houses!  If you want to help us grow, it's as simple as subscribing and telling a friend, we can't wait to share the thrills with you!

When adventure calls, only the most dangerous and unsettled parts of the globe will do.  That's how we found ourselves deep in the heart of Florida to celebrate Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios.  Before we get to the chainsaws and killer clowns, let's first talk Universal as a whole for a bit. Chris rode the newest, hottest roller coaster on the theme park scene and Andrea gives us travel tips including all the reasons to stay at an on-property resort.Thank you again for your continued support and we will be back in just one week with a look at Halloween Horror Nights!

First off, apologies for not having an episode for a while.  Chris very suddenly and unexpectedly had a loss in his family.  We were unable to ride the mystery train or attend our charity event but we appreciate your support more thank you can now.On this episode the Thrills crew gets a new addition in Kayla, Andrea's sister! She joins us deep in the heart of Haunted Old South Pittsburg Hospital Paranormal Research Center. Can Chris be a skeptic without being a jerk? Can the girls convince him that there's something else after the grave?  Can the team finally figure out how to edit audio properly?These mysteries and more solved on this episode of Them There Thrills!

Summer's here, and we're charging right on through!Our first stop is Dolly's Stampede in Pigeon Forge where Andrea talks about some recent changes to the controversial themes of the show, and Chris opens up about traveling with a panic disorder.We bring it all back to the classics when we visit Dollywood for their Summer Festival.  Andrea reviews a few of the shows in the park while Chris makes friends on stalled-out roller coasters!  We close it all out with a gushing look at the new drone show that closes out the day at the park.If you'd like to help us reach our charity fundraising goal, please visit our charity team page here. Our goal is $200 to help critically ill children get to take their own theme park vacation.Thank you all so much for your continued support!

Holiday World is only two hours away and we've never been?! What kind of thrill-seekers are we anyway? Come along with us as we venture into the world of family-owned theme parks!

Come for our impressions on the food, dawdle around for our take on the flowers, and stay the night for ranting on faux southern hospitality!
