Podcasts about theme parks

We're hitting record from some of Walt Disney World's most stunning deluxe resorts while answering a lightning round of listener-style questions all about the podcast, Disney, and beyond! From the first trip that made us truly fall in love with the parks to the spark that turned that passion into nearly 800 episodes, we're pulling back the curtain on the moments that shaped Main Street Magic.We'll share what episode felt like a milestone, our favorite collaborations, and even the bloopers that had us cracking up. We'll debate which Magic Kingdom resort we'd actually live in, which EPCOT pavilion we'd move into for a week, and the bold Disney hot takes we'll defend to the end. Plus, we dive into what recording inside an attraction might look like, the series we're excited to launch next, and where we'd host a dream live show.Along the way, we reflect on what we've learned about each other, which Universal land secretly rivals Disney, the snack that needs to be fired, and what hitting 800 episodes means to us. It's a mix of memories, milestones, and mayhem—recorded in the heart of deluxe Disney magic.

We're kicking off a brand-new series: Resort Wars — where Walt Disney World resorts go head-to-head, and only one can walk away with the crown! First up, it's a Value Resort throwdown between Disney's Pop Century and Disney's Art of Animation.Pop Century opened in 2003 and celebrates the nostalgia of the 1950s through the 1990s with larger-than-life icons and over 2,800 rooms. Meanwhile, Art of Animation debuted in 2012 with immersive theming from beloved Disney and Pixar films, offering standard Little Mermaid rooms and spacious family suites themed to Cars, The Lion King, and Finding Nemo.We pit these two fan favorites against each other across seven battle rounds — including theming & atmosphere, rooms & comfort, dining, transportation, recreation, overall value, and listener feedback. Who takes the win for pool bars and food courts? Which resort is more budget-friendly? And where will your family find the perfect blend of magic and convenience?Plus, we share results from our listener poll and highlight firsthand experiences and opinions from our amazing community to help settle the debate.Whether you're planning your next Disney vacation or just love a good Disney debate, this episode is packed with insight, tips, and a few laughs along the way. So grab your tie-dye cheesecake or swing by the Big Blue Pool — it's time to battle it out in Resort Wars: Pop Century vs. Art of Animation!

Six Flags posted a nearly $100 million loss in Q2—down from a $55 million profit a year ago—on 1.4 million fewer visitors, a smaller base of season passholders, and what it calls “adverse weather.” The company is looking to sell nonessential assets, while also running an aggressive August pass sale to bring in quick cash and rebuild its passholder base. Philip and Scott unpack why front-loading revenue can backfire if you can't keep guests returning to spend in-park, and how Six Flags' own investor day framed season passes as its growth engine. They also discuss CEO Richard Zimmerman's decision to step down by the end of 2025 and what it signals for the post-merger strategy. Plus, why SeaWorld Orlando is riding Epic Universe's wave to higher attendance—and what smaller operators can learn about “rising tide” tourism. Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.

Spoiler: we're all in.Over on X (Twitter), things get delightfully random — like which Disney character is most likely to have a PR meltdown Coldplay-style, what we'd grab in a $500 LEGO Store shopping spree, and what hobby might take over our lives if Disney disappeared tomorrow (gasp!).Tune in for answers, shoutouts, and a lot of fun — and stay tuned for more ways to send in your questions for future episodes!

Six Flags just canceled its Christmas and Halloween events at multiple parks—including Holiday in the Park at Great Adventure and Over Georgia, and Fright Fest at Six Flags America, which will now close permanently on Nov. 2. Michigan's Adventure also dropped its Tricks and Treats event and will end its season on Sept. 1. The company says it's “focusing on the core season,” but Philip and Scott aren't buying it.This week, the hosts break down what these cancellations mean for perceived value, season pass retention, and long-term brand equity—especially as Six Flags launches a new “Most Valuable Pass” offering access to all parks through 2026 for as little as $75. With year-round operations shrinking and aggressive discounting ramping up, is this a smart reset or a warning sign? And what happens when short-term savings override the emotional core of seasonal guest behavior? Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.

Season 08 Episode 06: Rootin' Tootin' Wild Theme Park Rides: When Fun turns FatalWARNING: This episode discusses a serious injury to a child – we advise listener discretion.“Theme parks are workplaces where serious harm could eventuate,” bemoans Trajce.In this gripping episode, the WhyWork crew dive into the devastating case of a child who suffered a traumatic scalping injury while on a Wile E. Coyote-themed amusement rideAlan walks us through the case, unpacking the sequence of mechanical and human errors. Trajce brings his classic bluntness and empathy, highlighting how poor design choices - literal holes in theme ride ceilings and safety protocols - lead to traumatic circumstances in people's lives and, in this case, affects a child. The team pulls the lens back to explore broader lessons on accountability, risk design, and the ethics of foreseeability."A kid went to have fun and came back scalped. That's not a freak accident—that's a system failure," says Trajce. "We can't keep blaming workers or bad luck when the problem is clearly baked into the design," argues Sara.Alan Explains, "The head went through a hole in the ride's casing - something that never should have been possible. Once we traced what happened, the design gaps were obvious. This case reveals chain of small, overlooked decisions that created a massive risk."This episode is a tough listen, but a vital one. Through humour, honesty, and some hard truths, the podcast team asks: What kind of systems do we really want to build for our kids, our teams, and our communities? “What will be enduring and sustainable?” asks Sara.Alan, Trajce, and Sara reflect on some of their favourite Looney Tunes characters - Yosemite Sam, the rootin' tootin' red-moustached cowboy; Marvin the Martian, Sylvester (Sufferin' succotash) – who was yours?Other episodes addressing theme park and recreation-as-work:S03 E05: Whakaari – The Smouldering DragonS03 E06: Cha-Cha-Chat Thrill RidesS03 E07: Intentional Design & Submersibles

Forget passive viewing. Audiences today want to step inside the story. From Super Nintendo World to Stranger Things pop-ups, immersive entertainment is on the rise. But what defines an “immersive” experience—and why is it suddenly everywhere?Noah Nelson, publisher of No Proscenium and co-founder of the Immersive Experience Institute, joins The Excerpt to explain how the pandemic accelerated demand, what designers are learning from escape rooms, and how new formats—from LARPs to “Monopoly Life-Size”—are reshaping entertainment across the U.S.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

O this epsiode we talk New Movies, New Theme Parks, Food News & More! 

Here's my interview with the co-founders of Dream Park, Brent Bushnell & Aidan Wolf, that was conducted on Wednesday, June 11, 2025 at Augmented World Expo in Long Beach, CA. See more context in the rough transcript below. This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon. Music: Fatality

We recorded a full “live dining” review right from our table — and let's just say The Edison gave us plenty to talk about (and sweat over).This wasn't your average restaurant recap. We hit record at the table and let the conversation flow — capturing our unfiltered reactions, food-fueled tangents, and, yes, even the spice-induced meltdowns in real time. From the second our zero-proof drinks arrived, we were in review mode, starting with the Heart & Soul and LZP mocktails — both creative, refreshing, and worthy of sipping slowly.Then came the standout: the Maryland Blue Crab Dip. Hot, creamy, packed with flavor, and shockingly legit for being in Florida, this dish brought us straight back to Chesapeake Bay roots. The naan was warm and soft, the crab flavor spot-on, and the addition of a side of tortilla chips was the cherry on top (or the crunch on the bottom?).Finally, we tackled the Flavors of Florida Hot Honey High Voltage Chicken Sandwich — and it lived up to the voltage warning. Spicy, sweet, peppery, and surprisingly cohesive, it might not be for the faint of heart (or weak of tastebud), but it's a bold, fiery experience we won't forget.Would we do another live dining episode? Absolutely. Would we get that crab dip again? Without hesitation.

Comcast (CMCSA) expectations "were low," admits Naveen Sarma. He joins Nicole Petallides at the NYSE to discuss the cable and media giant's latest earnings report. He points to positive developments in the company's theme park and movie businesses. However, Naveen highlights expansion efforts in mobile offerings as it works with T-Mobile (TMUS).

After Rick talked about Dick Tracy with Maz earlier this year to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the movie, Sarah Says gave him a call to let him know that it is one of her five favorite movies of all-time.  Of course, we have to hear from Sarah Says about this movie if she loves it so much.

We're recapping a whirlwind Disney weekend filled with big thrills, bold flavors, and brand-new experiences across Walt Disney World. We kick things off at Magic Kingdom, where we got our first look at the brand-new Starlight Magic Parade. We'll share our honest thoughts on the floats, characters, music, and whether it lives up to the hype—or if it's just Main Street Electrical 2.0 with a new glow.Next, we head to EPCOT to dive into Test Track 3.0, the reimagining of the classic ride that now blends high-speed thrills with a touch of World of Motion nostalgia. Is it an upgrade, a downgrade, or just… different? We'll break it all down.Then it's time to eat—really well. We'll take you through our fine dining experience at Bourbon Steak, one of the top new steakhouses in Central Florida, tucked inside the Swan & Dolphin (Dolphin side) right on Disney property. And from white tablecloths to Yeti footprints, we shift gears with a quick review of our lunch at Yak & Yeti in Animal Kingdom.Of course, no trip is complete without snacks! We'll share what we grabbed from Sleepy Hollow and have some updates on the brand-new Wailulu Bar and Grill at the Polynesian Resort Tower—including zero-proof sips, sweet treats, and some surprisingly great finds. Come along for the ride!

What makes an IP popular today? It's not just the box office or streaming stats—it's the fans who show up, dress up, and wait five hours for a free experience. At San Diego Comic-Con, Percy Jackson, Alien, and K-pop Demon Hunters proved that passion, not just numbers, powers IP. Philip and Scott break down why pop-ups are becoming the new focus groups, how activations create the data stories that boards and licensors want, and what theme park professionals can learn from the way studios test, validate, and launch IP in the wild. If you're pitching an IP partnership or designing a seasonal overlay, this episode is your blueprint. Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.

Theme parks have transformed from the travelling fairs of the fifties and Disney-inspired family resorts into playgrounds for adrenalin junkies of all ages.  So, how do ride designers meet the needs of their discerning public? Bradley Wynne, lead creative artist at Merlin Magic Making, is a man who knows - he's spent a lifetime obsessing about all things theme park and is now heading up the team for Thorpe Park's biggest ever launch, Derren Brown's Ghost Train.  In this episode, Olly learns from him how sounds, smells and touch can enhance the experience of riding a rollercoaster; discusses the fallout from the tragedy on The Smiler, and how you can use a very boring interest in planning application data to your advantage, to secure a dream job. This episode first aired in April 2016, in our episode Let's Build A Theme Park. Now remastered and with an update from Bradley nine years on, we're replaying it to celebrate Olly's new BBC show: ROLLERCOASTER - UNIVERSAL'S BEDFORDSHIRE JOURNEY. Olly's new four-part BBC series about the Universal Studios project in Bedford can be binged ⁠here⁠. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We're throwing on our festive gear and stepping into the holiday spotlight to answer one big question—which Disney after-hours party is the best of the season? Is it the spooky fun of Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, the cozy charm of Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, or the retro glitz of Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios?We're going head-to-head-to-head as we break these parties down across multiple categories—everything from entertainment and character sightings to food, vibes, crowd levels, and overall value. We're each casting our votes in every round, sharing our thoughts (and probably disagreeing a few times), and by the end, we're crowning our pick for the top Disney holiday party of the year.If we're being honest, we know some of you are debating which one to attend—and some of you are just planning to hit all three. Either way, we've got you covered.So we're grabbing our trick-or-treat bag, our Santa hats, and maybe a sparkly blazer or two, and we're inviting you to join us for the ultimate festive face-off!MEI-Travel – Expertise.

I'm joined by a very special guest—my daughter Kailyn—as we recap a whirlwind Disney weekend full of sun, snacks, and some serious theme park hustle.Kailyn hadn't stepped foot in the 4 Walt Disney World parks since Thanksgiving of 2023—and before that, Christmas 2022. But rewind a bit further, and she was basically raised at Disney. As a longtime Annual Passholder, she spent years visiting once or twice a month with us, until both kids eventually hit that wall a lot of families know all too well: Disney burnout. So they let their passes go, took a step back… and just like that, a new chapter began.But this past weekend, we opened the book again. On Thursday, it was off to Typhoon Lagoon for a splash-filled day of water slides, waves, and lazy rivers. Then we cleaned up and headed to Disney Springs for shopping and dinner at Wailulu Bar & Grill. (Spoiler: we'll be talking about poke bowls, fish, and tattoos.)And then came Friday—a 16-hour park day that took us to EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Magic Kingdom and packed in 20 attractions. We're talking thrill rides, strategy, food fuel, and some genuine moments of rediscovering the magic.You'll hear Kailyn's honest take on what it was like coming back after nearly two years away, how the parks felt different, and what moments reminded her why she used to love it in the first place.This is a special one for us—a dad-daughter Disney trip with laughs, nostalgia, and a whole lot of fun.MEI-Travel – Expertise.
