We are two weeks away from our 20th Anniversary. To help celebrate, Mike has used a bunch of fancy audio programs to remaster the very first episode of Coaster Radio. You'll hear Mike, E.B., Mario, Flava and Greg kick off the podcast on April 25, 2005. You'll also hear Mike and EB in 2025 talking about what it was like to record that first episode and how the show has changed over twenty years.

Mike and EB are back with an annual tradition for the new year...Coasterdamus, where they make predictions about the amusement industry for the upcoming year. They reflect on past predictions and analyze their accuracy. Then, EB and the listeners make bold predictions for 2025, including potential new rides and park developments. The conversation also touches on upcoming expansions, the legacy of iconic rides, and the importance of theming in attractions.

They also hear a review of the new "Jungle Rush" attraction in Australia and celebrate the 20th anniversary of Coaster Radio with a return of the character "Coaster Boy," who passionately critiques the current state of roller coasters and the industry. The guys also reflect on the changes in theme parks over the past 20 years, introduce exciting new segments for Season 20, and engage with listeners through the mailbag.
