Center for the Deaf (Card appeared to target one of their events) & the Gov. Baxter School for the Deaf, which was the site of the recurrent & abhorrent sexual abuse of deaf & hard of hearing children; James Levier's martyring himself via suicide by police 22 years before Card's attacks in order to draw attention to the systemic abuse at GBSD & other state-run deaf schools; Maine's status as a child trafficking hub & center of gov't sanctioned abuse; the fact that the paracusias or voices that Card was "hearing"—and which pushed him to the point of breaking—convinced him that local businesses, his friends, family, & fellow military personnel had created a conspiracy to slander him as a "pedophile" or sexual predator; a number of weird, onomatological symmetries b/w Card's name & Diego Barajas Medina, the young man who committed suicide in the women's bathroom at the Glenwood Caverns park; a Programmed to Cave phenomenon?; Fairy Caves & fairy houses on Mackworth Island; Diego Barajas Medina's suicide as possible Christian Zionist eschatological MindWar psyop & ritual; tunnels below Glenwood & Lewiston; the PTCave symbolism in Diego Barajas Medina's name, evoking both Jacob wrestling w/ the angel & Muhammad receiving the Quran revelation in the Cave of Hira from Gabriel; and wonderments about possible strategy of tension & distraction-creating motivations behind both incidents.

Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park in Glenwood Springs CO was home to the Haunted Mine Drop. Built on the side of a mountain, the ride drops you 120' under the ground. The ride has been closed since a guest died on the attraction in September 2021. But now, Creative Visions is retheming the entire ride and the park plans to reopen it. Today we'll hear a preview from Mark McDonough, Founder of Creative Visions, on what the new ride will be like. This interview was recorded during the IAAPA Expo on the show floor.

A year ago last week, Glenwood Caverns announced the largest project in their history, the Gerstlauer Infinity Coaster, Defiance. Standing highatop the Rocky Mountains, Defiance opened at the beginning of July to rave reviews. There's no better person to talk Defiance than park General Manager Nancy Heard, who enjoyed her time so much on the podcast last August that she was super excited to come back on again!

That's right ladies and gentlemen, it's time again to talk about the "most sought-after awards in the Amusement Industry". Before getting to that blunder, the guys have a lot to discuss. Kennywood is doing something dumb, counteracted by something kinda cool (per usual). SeaWorld sucks as we're hopeful all aware of by now. Sadly, once again tragedy has struck in our industry. Following The Golden Ticket ridicule that takes place in our second half, we discuss our weekly poll as typical (this week's being 'Is Blue Streak gone?').

Last week, we found out where Gerstlauer's "Mystery Coaster" for 2022 was going to be built -- Glenwood Caverns in Colorado, going by the name "Defiance." This week on the podcast, we're joined by Glenwood Caverns' General Manager Nancy Heard to learn, not only about Defiance, but a little more about America's only Mountaintop Amusement Park. Did you know that Glenwood Caverns dates all the way back to 1895, or that they opened the first-ever Alpine Coaster in North America in 2005? Or that when you order at their new "Smokehouse" restaurant, they will quite literally pull the meat off the grill and put it on your plate? Curious about how the new roller coaster got its name? We've got you covered! If you listen close enough, you might even hear what's coming next for Glenwood Caverns after Defiance opens next spring! You can connect with the show by emailing us at podcast@coaster101.com or hitting us up on social media @Coaster101: Facebook  |  Twitter  |  Instagram.

Timmy is back; many of you won't be surprised at the lack of quarrels. However, James and Tim cover a vast amount of notable news stories first (making for a great first part of the show).  The second half is a bit unorthodox, as the guys explore an area of amusement parks James and Bob typically don't stray towards. Halloween is the subject of the second part of the show, with the dudes talking Halloween Horror Nights and all it includes. And of course this wouldn't be Coaster Talk Podcast if we didn't have a weekly to finish the show off.  SHOW NOTES' Disneyland Resort introduces Magic Key Program - bye bye wallets Glenwood Caverns opening new "record-breaking" roller coaster Todd Joseph may be breaking the law with his handling of Conneaut Lake  Over Texas to spelunkers receive 'Pirates of Speelunker Cave' Kings Dominion has set announcement for August 12th

They are the company creating the storyline and theming for Glenwood Caverns' new "Haunted Mine Drop!" We talk with Mark about what is company does and what we can expect from the new Colorado attraction!

This week on Haunt Weekly it's another episode divisible by four so that means we are doing the news!
