On this episode of **Remy's Roundtable: The Florida Theme Park Podcast**, it's **a guys' night at the table** as **Remy and Mike** take over the show for a fun and opinion-filled discussion about the parks we all love.The episode kicks off with a hot debate when Remy asks Mike a big question: **What are the most overrated things in the Disney parks?** Mike doesn't hold back as the two break down **the most overrated theme park snack, ride, and queue** at Disney. The biggest shocker of the night? The legendary **Dole Whip** ends up on the list as the **most overrated snack**, sparking a lively conversation about whether this fan-favorite treat truly deserves all the hype.Next up, it's time for **The Latest Theme Park Updates**, where the Roundtable dives into some big news around Florida's parks. Rumors are swirling that a classic attraction could be on the chopping block, as **Universal Studios Florida may say goodbye to the iconic E.T. Adventure in 2028**. Meanwhile, over at SeaWorld Orlando, thrills are on the horizon as the park announces **a brand-new roller coaster coming in 2027 featuring an incredible 10 inversions**. The discussion also touches on a **new Florida safety law requiring children up to age eight to use a booster seat in vehicles**, something that could affect families traveling to the theme parks.Then it's time for **Remy's Ride of the Week**, where Remy takes a deep dive into one of the most beloved attractions in Magic Kingdom history: **Splash Mountain**. Remy breaks down the ride's history, its creation by Imagineering legends, memorable scenes, and why it became such a fan favorite before giving his personal thoughts and ranking on the classic log flume adventure.Finally, the show wraps up with **Mike's Munchies**, where Mike brings Remy over to the **Rose & Crown Pub & Dining Room at EPCOT's United Kingdom Pavilion**. Mike builds his full meal by choosing an appetizer, entrée, drink, and dessert—but by the time Remy calculates the total, **Mike's bill ends up being a little higher than expected**.So grab your favorite park snack, sit back, and enjoy another fun-filled episode of **Remy's Roundtable: The Florida Theme Park Podcast**.
The Coaster Radio Listener Meetup is OFFICIALLY in the books, and it did not disappoint. Mike and EB take you inside their Sunday at SeaWorld Orlando for the 2026 meetup — Fantastic fans, 11 miles of walking, rain-soaked roller coasters, and a penguin habitat that was a brisk 28 degrees. (They were already wet. It was not fun.) Ride reviews include Manta, Penguin Trek, Kraken, Mako, Ice Breaker, Expedition Odyssey, and the one everyone was waiting for — Pipeline: The Surf Coaster, which may have just redefined what airtime even means. Plus: the guys sit down with Banks Lee from SeaWorld's marketing team for an exclusive interview that ends with a riveting riddle, a capitivating clue, and a nugget of breaking news that no one else has. Coaster royalty Taylor Bybee crashes the happy hour. And Bob the Lobster calls in from the deep. Also on this week's show: Nebraska gets its tallest roller coaster ever (it's 70 feet, and yes, that's a big deal there), Rock N Roller Coaster says goodbye to Aerosmith as the Muppets move in, Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift testing footage gets Mike to completely change his tune, and the guys review the animated POV of the new RMC Raptor coming to Myrtle Beach.

This week's episode starts with some bittersweet news: Silver Dollar City's beloved Thunderation mine train is closing in January 2027 (EB shares how it traumatized his daughter for a year!), plus there's purple track arriving at Six Flags Great Adventure for the Kingda Ka replacement—could it be a record-breaking spinning tower coaster?! Disney's new CEO Josh D'Amaro is already shaking things up by sending Villains Land back to the drawing board because "it's not good enough," and Dollywood just announced the most creative marketing stunt ever: Flight 925, a themed vacation package flying fans from Orlando to Knoxville with in-flight trivia, Dolly merch, and exclusive park access. The Coaster Radio Meetup is THIS SUNDAY and Mike & EB are finalizing the game plan! Join the guys as they map out their SeaWorld Orlando strategy for February 22nd—debating whether to rope drop Pipeline or gamble on crowd levels, discussing the merits of a $60 Quick Queue pass, and plotting their attack on Mako, Manta, Kraken, and Ice Breaker.

Plus details on following the meetup live via X/Twitter, the Seven Seas Food Festival sampler strategy, and why EB refuses to feel bad about eating fish. If you're heading to SeaWorld on Sunday, this is your essential pre-game show!
Mike and EB are heading to Epic Universe for the FIRST TIME and they need YOUR help! In this super interactive episode, the guys dive into a mountain of listener advice for conquering Universal's newest park—and honestly, there's almost too much information (but in the best way possible). Learn insider secrets like which metal detector line is fastest at Stardust Racers, why you should ride Monsters Unchained in the morning before the animatronics start breaking down, which secret password unlocks a hidden menu at the Burning Blade Tavern, and why the Tiki Bar serves dangerously strong mai tais. Plus, could Elon Musk's Boring Company actually build underground Tesla tunnels connecting Epic Universe to the airport?! (Spoiler: Florida is basically a swamp, so... good luck with that.) There's also exciting news about Six Flags Over Texas breathing new life into Mr. Freeze with a complete queue refurbishment, updates on the world's tallest vertical loop being installed on Tormenta, and details about the upcoming SeaWorld Orlando meetup on February 22nd. Whether you're planning your own Epic Universe trip or just love hearing theme park nerds geek out over secret drinks, Easter eggs, and the best strategy for marathon-riding Stardust Racers, this episode is for you!
Six Flags' new regional pass system has some WEIRD geography (New York in the Midwest?!), Montezuma's Revenge is confirmed for 2026, Josh D'Amaro becomes Disney's new CEO, and a Brazilian tower rescue involves rappelling guests through a trapdoor. Mike's controversial hot take: Disney's Dinosaur ride wasn't that great and doesn't deserve its candlelight vigil. Lightning Rodney returns to defend his Universal tram incident, Ken reports from Falcon's Flight in Saudi Arabia, and listeners debate which beloved rides are actually overrated. SeaWorld Orlando meetup details (Feb 22) and Epic Universe planning included!
