Podcast appearances and mentions of Star Tours

Disney is changing... and we have opinions.In this episode of Hangin' at the Hangar Bar, Scott and Candice take a break from trip planning and nostalgia to talk about some of the biggest changes happening across Walt Disney World. From major attraction overhauls to entirely new lands, Disney is investing billions into the future of the parks—but are they making the right decisions?Before we dive in, we start with an important correction regarding Star Tours and Star Wars Launch Bay, proving once again that we are always willing to admit when we get something wrong.Then we tackle some of the biggest topics currently shaping the future of Walt Disney World:• The massive Carousel of Progress refurbishment and why it has Disney fans divided• What a Walt Disney Audio-Animatronic means for Disney's future storytelling• The transformation of Frontierland and the arrival of Cars-themed Piston Peak• Villains Land and whether Disney's biggest expansion in decades can live up to the hype• The end of Muppets Courtyard and the arrival of Monstropolis• Rock 'n' Roller Coaster starring The Muppets and our first impressions of the reimagined attraction• Tropical Americas replacing DinoLand U.S.A. at Disney's Animal Kingdom• Indiana Jones, Encanto, Bluey, and the future identity of Animal Kingdom• Disney's growing focus on Walt Disney himself as part of the guest experience• Whether all of this construction is creating a new Disney Renaissance—or simply a lot of wallsAlong the way, we discuss what Disney is getting right, where we're still skeptical, and which projects have us the most excited for the future.What changes are you most excited about? Which ones make you nervous? Let us know on social media or in our Discord community.As always, thank you for hanging out with us at the Hangar Bar.Remember... there's always a great big beautiful tomorrow.

FOLLOW UP: This week, it seems America believes every complicated social problem can be fixed by asking, “Have you tried turning the internet off for the children?” Meanwhile, the Electronic Frontier Foundation quietly notes that the science behind social media bans might not be as clear-cut as cable-news dads screaming about dopamine loops claim. Turns out, teen anxiety may also be linked to pandemics, school shootings, climate dread, and an economy that feels like a Fallout side quest. Meanwhile, Snap Inc. and YouTube settled another lawsuit accusing their apps of turning kids into doomscrolling goblins, Meta continues to insist social media addiction isn't real while losing money in court, and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed at a graduation speech after telling graduates to hop on the AI rocket ship without asking questions — exactly what a billionaire says when he already owns the rocket.In the news, Elon Musk lost another OpenAI lawsuit because apparently even juries have limits. SpaceX's IPO revealed Musk plans to power AI with enough gas turbines to recreate 1890s London smog, and Grok officially became a disclosure liability after the whole “MechaHitler” incident. Tesla robotaxis still clip fences and occasionally require humans to remotely drive the “self-driving” cars. Trump Mobile somehow shipped a gold phone that actually works — a stunning upset — before immediately leaking customer data. LinkedIn finally admitted the platform has become an AI-generated motivational swamp filled with “it's not about X, it's about Y” sludge from people named Brayden. Spotify is handing out podcast verification badges so listeners can tell real creators from algorithmic nightmare fuel. Meta laid off thousands more workers while reportedly using employee surveillance to train AI replacements. And OpenAI is giving everyone in Malta a free year of ChatGPT Plus if they complete an AI literacy course, which honestly makes Malta sound more technologically responsible than Silicon Valley.APPS & DOODADS reflect classic Gen-X paranoia, as Backblaze highlights California's constant threat of wildfires and the idea that local backups are optimistic. YouTube introduced AI deepfake detection tools, allowing creators to finally see which scam ads are using their faces to promote crypto vitamins, while X limited free users to 50 posts a day unless they pay for a blue check — proving once again that the true free speech was the subscriptions we sold along the way. Retrocodex arrived with a strong “everything your teachers confidently told you in 1987 was wrong” vibe.MEDIA CANDY opens with the eternal cry of “FUCK THE FIRETV!!!!” before Jason taps out of Good Omens after ten minutes while Brian takes the bullet for the audience. There's also chatter about Mortal Kombat 2, The Devil Wears Prada 2, Billy Corgan talking goth history with David J, and more existential dread courtesy of Dan Carlin's Common Sense.THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE welcomes back Dave Bittner for a Mando & Grogu review, Darth Maul, and a stunning but absurdly expensive LEGO Disneyland set. There's also a guy who built a full-size Millennium Falcon “with his wife's permission,” a fan-made Star Tours film, and the Federal Trade Commission discovering that those creepy “your phone is listening to you” ad-tech companies mainly just had PowerPoint decks and confidence. Also: mechanical keyboard simulators now exist, because apparently even fake typing has become a lifestyle brand.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.Shopify - Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at Shopify.com/grumpyPrivate Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Answer our 2026 Audience Census! "I wasn't an Imagineer because of the dollar. It's because I wanted to do something marvelous for people to enjoy." Captain Eo. Ghostbusters. Men in Black. Team America. Star Tours. The Muppet Movie. If you've ever fallen in love with puppeted characters that felt impossibly alive, there's a good chance Terri Hardin worked on them. A master puppeteer, creature builder, and performer, Terri has spent decades blurring the line between imagination and reality, helping bring some of the most iconic characters in film, television, and the Disney Parks to life. Thanks to the success and beloved characters of Jim Henson, puppets and fantastical characters were having a huge moment in the 80s and 90s. Studios depended on practical effects and humans to create and bring to life characters such as Stay Puft, the giant Marshmallow Man and Zuul, the Temple Dog in Ghostbusters, both of which Terri helped animate. Terri has such an impressive list of productions she's worked on that her bio below is a 22 page document full of references to beloved films and characters. We've also linked to some videos of her work below in the Resources section. Terri also worked as a sculptor and Imagineer at Walt Disney for many years. She is brimming with incredible stories about all the people she's worked with including Michael Jackson, Dan Aykroyd and Jim Henson, and Michael Eisner. Terri talks to us about how she prepared herself so that when any opportunity came, she was ready. I especially loved her story about how she created the Dragon's Lair attraction at Disneyland Paris. Terri is an absolutely remarkable character herself, and she had both me and David laughing through the entire interview. Beneath it all, Terry is a passionate artist who breathes life into all her creations. Whether you're a film buff, a Disney fan, a maker, or just someone who loves a good behind-the-scenes story, this conversation pulls back the curtain on puppetry as a craft. You'll never look at puppetry the same way again.   Full Show Notes     Episode Sponsors We are immensely grateful to our sponsors this season: REA Patreon Backers, PG's Playhouse, Buzzshot, and the Reality Escape Convention.

Hasbro might have lost their minds with these May the 4th Star Wars Black Series exclusives! We dive deep into the "Pew Pew" Stormtroopers and a Battle Droid that is a major Wiff for the line. Is this a Win for completionists or just another way to milk the same mold? Join the FITT crew as we break down the latest reveals from Walmart, Target, and more.

Send us Fan MailA giant boulder looms, your jeep “panics,” and somehow you leave feeling like you just lived a 1920s Republic serial on steroids!We trace how Indiana Jones is born from the language of movie serials and classic adventure cinema, then follow that thread straight into Disney Imagineering. We saw Imagineer Tony Baxter give a lecture on this attraction last week and his fingerprints are everywhere here: environmental storytelling, practical effects that feel physical, and a ride vehicle design that turns a machine into a character. We also talk about the bigger Disney parks shift toward licensed IP, why Star Tours opens the door, and how Indy becomes the proof that a non Disney story can still feel like Disneyland if the craft is right.Then we get nerdy about mechanics: Enhanced Motion Vehicles, Maraglyphics decoder cards, the best ride queue ever, and the effects now lost to Disneyland's technical debt. We also share the behind the scenes drama that shaped Indy's voice and likeness, plus our patented plus-ups!Listen now, then subscribe, share with a fellow park nerd, and leave a review if you want more deep dives like this. What's the one Indiana Jones Adventure effect you'd bring back first?Thanks for listening!We'd love it if you would give us a review on your podcast platform of choice: iTunes, Spotify, etc... They're really helpful.And get in touch and let us know about YOUR Plus-Ups for the attractions we've talked about!  We'd love to tell them on the air.Come visit us on Bluesky, Mastodon, Instagram, or whatever social media you like.

Join us for episode 484 of the Theme Park Trader Podcast! Disney's Hollywood Studios is having a massive identity crisis. Is it a tribute to the Golden Age of Cinema, or just a parking lot for Star Wars and Toy Story? Disney's Hollywood Studios is in the middle of a massive identity crisis. Is it a park about the magic of movies, or has it just become a storage locker for big franchises? On this episode of the Theme Park Trailer Podcast, Ryan and Donna are making the "Keep It or Kill It" calls for 2026. With Monstropolis construction moving fast and the Muppets taking over Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, the duo spars over what needs to stay and what needs to be ripped out to save the park. In this episode: The Identity Battle: Is Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway a worthy icon, or are we still grieving The Great Movie Ride? Galaxy's Edge Wars: Should Disney finally kill the strict Sequel Trilogy timeline and let Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker walk around Batuu? Star Tours vs. Galaxy's Edge: Does the "Greatest Hits" version of Star Wars belong in a different land, or is it the best ride in the park? The Sunset Boulevard Debate: Does Beauty and the Beast - Live on Stage still have that Broadway magic, or is it time for an Encanto or Wish takeover? Toy Story Land Problems: We love the "backyard" scale, but is it time to "Kill" the immersion to add much-needed shade and "human-sized" bathrooms? BaseLine TapHouse: Can the park's best "chill spot" survive the expansion of Grand Avenue? STAY TUNED: This is just the beginning. We're debating so much that we're splitting this into a Part Two, where we dive into the Tower of Terror, Indiana Jones, and the future of Animation Courtyard! What would YOU "Kill" at Hollywood Studios? Let us know in the comments!

News: On March 22, a beloved character from down under will debut a new show at Disneyland. “Bluey's Best Day Ever!” at the Fantasyland Theatre will celebrate the heart and humor of Bluey. The theater will be transformed into Bluey's school where Bluey and Bingo will appear on stage at set times throughout the day, with two unique shows. A group of comedic performers and musicians will join them to bring to life popular board games, music, and dances. Chattermax, Unicorse, and a troupe of Grannies will also make appearances. There will also be a life-sized Gnome Village and Fairy Garden with interactive areas. – https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/bluey-at-disneyland-resort/ Magic Key Holders will have a new way to enjoy the resort with the Magic Key Road Trip pit stop scavenger hunt to celebrate Disney California Adventure's 25th anniversary. Key holders will pick up a special map at Kingswell Camera Shop on Buena Vista Street and use it to complete the hunt. After the hunt is completed, collect a prize later in April. Check the Magic Key Portal in the Disneyland App for all the details. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/california-adventure-25-scavenger-hunt/ Continuing this Road Trip theme, Magic Key holders will also want to keep an eye out in their mailboxes for a complimentary gift coming soon. An exclusive set of car air fresheners inspired by attractions and experiences from Disney California Adventure! Each mailer will include three themed air fresheners, with a citrus smell for Grizzly Peak and Soarin', new car smell for Cars Land and Radiator Springs Racers, and Sakura for San Fransokyo Square. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/magic-key-road-trip-2026-air-fresheners/ Ever since Josh Gad was made a Disney Legend and he shared not getting to be a cast member for the Jungle Cruise, it seems like Disney has been trying to make up for this. So far, he has been a Jungle Cruise Skipper, a Disneyland Railroad Conductor, a Haunted Mansion cast member, and more. This time, he is taking guests on a journey through Storybook Land Canal Boats. This time, he doesn't know the script and snuck onto the boat to entertain guests. Check out the link in our show notes to watch all the chaos. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/gad-in-storybook-land/ The Disneyland Resort just held an event to celebrate cast members with service of 10 years or more. Jan Fleener and Richard Ruiz were in attendance, celebrating 55 years of service at the resort! The two were celebrated by being driven down the Performance Corridor in the Five and Dime classic car. Cast members are invited to these events starting at their 10th anniversary, then every 5 years of service after. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/disneyland-cast-service-celebration-2025/ Actress Jennifer Garner has a baby food brand called Once Upon a Farm that is now available for purchase at Disney California Adventure.

The food features cold-pressed pouches and plant-rich meals for babies, toddlers, and big kids. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/once-upon-a-farm-at-disney-california-adventure/ Two unfortunate events occurred at the Disneyland Resort this week. The first was a hazmat situation backstage near Star Tours that resulted in cast members being transported to the hospital out of caution. Nobody was seriously injured and it was limited to backstage. Anaheim Police were summoned to the resort in a Swatting Incident that claimed a mass shooting event at the resort. A swatting is where someone calls in a serious call to 911 that turns out to be a prank, even though police, and sometimes SWAT teams are sent. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/disneyland-swatting/ https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/disneyland-hazmat-incident-star-tours-backstage/ SnackChat: Bluey-themed bites – https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/disney-eats-bluey-food-beverage-at-disneyland-resort/ Discussion Topic: History of Fireworks – https://www.micechat.com/335190-disneyland-fireworks-history-all-shows/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Army is granting more direct commissions to civilians in high-tech fields like cyber, artificial intelligence, and space. The plan to put these new soldiers in uniform is an expansion of a program that directly commissioned four Silicon Valley executives into the Army Reserve as lieutenant colonels last June. Based on 2024 U.S. Census data, the most recent available, the analysis shows that full-time workers ages 22 to 27 who majored in theology, performing arts, social services and education report some of the lowest median earnings early in their careers. Authorities responded to a reported hazmat situation at Disneyland on Tuesday after an unknown odor was detected near the backstage area of Tomorrowland’s Star Tours attraction. Trump has been gifting footwear to agency heads, lawmakers, White House advisers and VIPs. “Did you get the shoes?” he asks at cabinet meetings. Some people have laced up in the Oval Office. During a lunch meeting in January, Trump suddenly pivoted to his “incredible” new shoes and gave Tucker Carlson a pair of brown wingtips. The Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine narrowed the 10 most dangerous cities for drunk driving, looking at the percentage of fatal crashes involving alcohol-impaired drivers. Fresno ranked second in the nation in terms of fatal crashes involving drunk drivers, according to the study by The Law Firms of Anidjar & Levine.

Kris Van de Sande is (pretpark)fotograaf en eigenaar van een privé-tikibar in zijn achtertuin. Zijn liefde voor Star Wars begon bij de eerste seconden van een opgenomen VHS-kopie van 'The Empire Strikes Back'. Van alle plekken, organisaties en personages in de saga was het een klein reisbureau in het universum dat zijn hart stal: Star Tours. In 2002 begon hij een Geocities-website die uitgroeide tot dé online bron over de attractie: EndorExpress.net.Star Tours is dé Star Wars-attractie uit de jaren 1980 die Disneyland moest redden. We hebben het over Michael Eisner die in 1984 een noodlijdend entertainmentbedrijf overnam en beroep deed op George Lucas voor de revival van de themaparken. Eerst kwam Captain EO met Michael Jackson, daarna Star Tours: de eerste simulator in het Star Wars-universum.Het gaat ook over de 2.0-versie uit 2011, over de attracties in Florida, Tokio en Parijs, en over het idee van Lucas dat de attractie 'herprogrammeerbaar' moest zijn. Disney en Star Wars zijn voor elkaar gemaakt. Zo denkt George Lucas er toch ook over.

Tonight, we surf the world wide web of Disney Reddit Subs. Fake park facts, guests complaints, Star Tours marathons, Disney cruise ship rumors, and a dozen more. Plus, a quick look back at Disney's one-and-done Leap Day celebration from 2012.

Title: The Force of Nostalgia: Celebrating Sci-Fi and Gaming on Podcast for Sci-Fi Episode 501 Introduction: Welcome to the 501st episode of Podcast for Sci-Fi, where we dive into the universe of science fiction and gaming! Join Moose, GameGod, and Magic Mike as they tackle everything from Star Wars updates to the latest in gaming culture. In this episode, we celebrate the nostalgia and excitement that these beloved franchises bring to fans around the world. Section 1: Star Wars News and ChangesIn the latest episode, Moose kicks things off by discussing significant changes in the Star Wars universe, particularly with Kathleen Kennedy stepping down and the rise of Dave Filoni as the new president and chief creative officer of Lucasfilm. Moose passionately expresses that Filoni is the right person to lead the franchise, stating, “this is the guy that understood the vision of Star Wars.” The excitement around Filoni’s leadership stems from his prior work and deep understanding of the Star Wars mythos, promising a bright future for the beloved series. Section 2: Upcoming Star Wars FilmsThe discussion shifts to the upcoming Star Wars movie set for May 26th. GameGod shares his concerns about the film’s potential, expressing a premonition that it might not meet fan expectations. “I feel like this movie’s not gonna have the story we want,” he admits, illustrating the apprehension many fans feel as they await new installments in the franchise. Moose remains hopeful, countering, “I hope you’re wrong.” Section 3: Galaxy’s Edge UpdatesAs the conversation flows, the hosts delve into the exciting updates coming to Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland. The expansion will feature characters from the original trilogy, such as Luke, Leia, and Vader, while also integrating elements from the newer films. Moose highlights the importance of keeping the rides fresh, drawing parallels to Star Tours, which has seen multiple updates over the years. The duo expresses excitement about the new experiences that await fans visiting the park. Section 4: The Gaming ConnectionCheck out Bitmap Books for your copy of Trigger Happy. The episode also highlights a special segment about gaming culture, particularly a new book by Bitmap Books titled “Trigger Happy,” which celebrates video game controllers. Moose shares his personal nostalgia tied to various controllers, emphasizing how they define our gaming experiences. As he reflects on the impact of controllers like the original Xbox Duke, he engages listeners with a humorous take on its size and usability. “You could chuck that at a friend and knock them out with that one for sure,” Moose jokes, illustrating the camaraderie and competition that gaming fosters. Conclusion: Key TakeawaysIn this engaging episode, Moose, GameGod, and Magic Mike explore the evolving landscape of Star Wars, the excitement of new updates at Galaxy’s Edge, and the nostalgic connection gamers have with their controllers. As they navigate through tech difficulties and lively discussions, the essence of what makes science fiction and gaming special shines through.

Three years in and somehow we're getting weirder, in the best way. We kick off with Taco Bell's Y2K menu (double down on the double-decker), a Furby that will not die, and Jess's spooky-cool “Bottle-yaga” for Knott's Into the Fog. David returns from a cross-country odyssey (Marceline pilgrim badge unlocked) plus an Angels Flight joyride and a spicy modern-art rant (banana, meet wall). We swap EPCOT lore from the man behind “Drinking Around the World,” then dive into park reality: line-cutting mega-squads, DIY Lightning Lane scams, and why Disney's feeling more two-tier than ever.Also: introduce yourself to the Lincoln Challenge (stand like the animatronic—no hands, no lawsuits), a Star Tours hat caper, and a Patreon tease for our two-part Marceline video drop.

To all who come to this happy podcast - welcome! You unlock this episode with the key of imagination, beyond it is another dimension. A dimension of sound, a dimension of entertainment, a dimension of fun. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into…The Mouse and Me Podcast.In this episode, Scott welcomes the incredible Mark Silverman to the podcast. Mark is a voice actor who continues to bring Rod Sterling's iconic Twilight Zone narration to life. Mark was hired by Disney Imagineering in 1993 to voice the attraction for Disney MGM Studios!
