Brad and Hunter discuss what they're most thankful for in themeparks this year to kick off the Holiday season.

IAAPA Expo 2025 underscored a clear trend: seasonal events continue to grow, even as IAAPA's Haunting Grounds remains a modest pavilion compared to dedicated Halloween shows like TransWorld. This year's exhibitors highlighted how operators are expanding fall and holiday offerings with modular scenic design, interactive environments, AR overlays, and family-friendly installations. In this episode, you'll hear the full interviews with IAAPA's Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President, Michael Shelton, and Sally Dark Rides, offering deeper insight into IAAPA's strategic shift toward curated show-floor zones, the rising importance of food and beverage, and new dark-ride innovations coming to Kings Island and Doha Quest. You'll also hear from all the exhibitors featured in the Haunting Grounds pavilion, including:Plague Productions, Nethercraft, IWG, Dogwood Entertainment, and Verse Immersive, each showcasing products designed to enhance seasonal and Halloween experiences. This episode is adapted from our on-site coverage at IAAPA Expo 2025. The full video tour of the Haunting Grounds is here.

We're kicking things off at the IAAPA Expo 2025, the global meeting place for theme-park creators, innovators, and anyone who thinks fun should come with seat belts and safety restraints. With more than 1,100 exhibitors and endless new ride concepts, animatronics, VR demos, and snack samples, the Expo is always an overload of creativity — in the best possible way. We'll break down what caught our eye, the coolest booths we explored, and of course… the food we sampled along the way.From there, we head into Hollywood Studios for dinner at Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater, one of the most uniquely themed restaurants in all of Walt Disney World. We'll share what we ate, some fun Imagineering trivia (including those famous license plate Easter eggs), and why burgers, onion rings, and milkshakes just taste better when you're sitting in a glowing retro convertible under a fake night sky.Finally, we wrap up at The BOATHOUSE, where we enjoyed classic lobster rolls with perfect waterfront views and a side of Disney Springs energy. We'll talk ambience, fun facts, and why this spot continues to be one of the most reliable dining experiences at Disney.

IAAPA Expo 2025 set a new record with 38,520 verified attendees, more than 28,000 qualified buyers, and an expanded floor featuring over 1,100 exhibitorsgt-nov-23. Philip and Scott break down the trends that truly mattered this year: the push toward indoor attractions (from SeaWorld Orlando's new Vekoma indoor inverted coaster to Merlin's $90 million Galacticoaster installations), the explosion of 'interactive' dark rides like Sally's Phantom Theater and its new Mini™ dark ride heading to Qatar, and the rise of 'competitive socializing' through Triotech's new Montreal trio. They also discuss the operational side: Roller's new industry benchmark report showing mobile dominating bookings and F&B, membership driving repeat visitation, and digital wallets nearly doubling average spend. Across the board, the Expo revealed a sector leaning into indoor reliability, personalized experiences, and value-minded design. Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.It has been a packed week of news and real-world impact from the legendary Mr. Beast, also known as Jimmy Donaldson. Let's start with one of the most significant developments, which broke just days ago: Mr. Beast has filed a US trademark application pointing towards the launch of his own digital bank, or neobank, through Beast Holdings LLC. According to Global Fintech Insider, this move would turn his 447 million YouTube subscribers into potential banking customers, with services ranging from lending and investment management to even cryptocurrency exchange. This is no mere side project—in filings dated October 13, the application's scope covers financial education, digital currency, and credit issuance, signaling Mr. Beast's ambition to move well beyond entertainment and into the world of fintech. For context, Business Insider previously reported in March that Jimmy was already exploring a massive expansion into financial services. His track record with fintech investments shows he's had an eye on this industry for years, having backed platforms like Current and Bitski.In other major business headlines, just last week Mr. Beast gave fans a first-ever look at Beast Land, his eye-popping theme park set to open November 13 in Saudi Arabia as part of Riyadh Season. The Times of India details how he released images of futuristic, neon-lit arenas directly inspired by his viral YouTube challenge videos. Every attraction inside Beast Land is built from scratch, with Mr. Beast promising the world's largest prize wall, high-tech game zones like Tower Siege and Drop Zone, and physical challenges never seen at any other theme park. This leap from digital content into immersive real-world experiences could set a new industry standard, as Business Insider also notes that Mr. Beast is following the likes of Netflix in creating in-person entertainment to deepen fan engagement and diversify revenue.On the digital front, Mr. Beast has been busy battling misinformation and impersonators on social media. Following the hotly contested New York City mayoral election this week, the Tribune reports that Mr. Beast publicly denied his involvement in a series of viral fake comments about the new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, which appeared to come from a verified YouTube account. He responded quickly to fans on X, calling attention to the daily challenge of fake posts and impersonators using his likeness. This issue has become so rampant that in recent years Mr. Beast has repeatedly warned his audience about AI-generated deepfakes and scam giveaways exploiting his brand.Rounding out the latest developments, his company Beast Industries continues scaling up at breakneck speed with executive hires to boost content and brand deals, and rumors persist—though unconfirmed—about a possible IPO as Mr. Beast aims to make his empire ever more sustainable and investor-ready, as mentioned in Business Insider.That wraps the latest headlines and behind-the-scenes moves from Mr. Beast—one of the digital era's most influential, and now most ambitious, figures.

Universal Studios' evolution from modest Tram Tour to the top challenger for the theme park throne was due to the fierce drive of one man: Jay Stein.Intense, ambitious and sometimes frightening, Stein let his competitiveness and, later, his seething rage against the Walt Disney Company forge an entirely new path for theme parks. By the time he left the company in 1993, it was no longer the underdog, but an innovator that the rest of the industry - Disney included - had to keep up with.Stein passed away on November 5th.  Join us in remembering the legend and celebrating his life.Obituary: https://boardwalktimes.net/universal-studios-theme-park-visionary-jay-stein-dead-at-87-32b3158eaa0aThanks for listening!We'd love it if you would give us a review on your podcast platform of choice: iTunes, Spotify, etc...

A theme park is going to be created after a comedian.

Today's attractions need to do more than look amazing — they need to feel, sound, and even smell unforgettable. In this episode, we explore how to go beyond the visual and bring audio, scent and motion to the forefront of the guest experience.  Paul Marden is joined by Liam Findlay, Theme Park and Museum Scenting Consultant from AromaPrime Themed Scents; David Wakefield Director and Co-founder of On the Sly; and Matt Clarkson, Creative Director of Simworx. Show References:Liam R.

We're cracking open another round of our Listener Q&A series, where your questions take center stage and we get to time-travel, daydream, debate, and laugh our way through the wild world of Walt Disney World. From Back to the Future-style time hopping to EPCOT engineering, this one covers a little bit of everything—so buckle up, because the flux capacitor is… well, metaphorically humming.We kick things off with a big one: If you had one day to time travel to any Disney park in history, where and when are you landing? Parade nostalgia, extinct attractions, retro vibes—nothing is off the table.Then, we get delightfully nerdy as we design a brand-new World Showcase Lagoon attraction and pitch a fresh Skyliner route that Imagineering will probably ignore but shouldn't. Over on Twitter, we tackle what kind of perk could actually convince us to buy direct DVC—and yes, we get honest. Instagram brought the planning heat: Pop Century vs. French Quarter for a June family trip, Skyliner convenience vs. resort charm, and how to tackle Fourth of July fireworks across a three-night celebration.Plus, we wrap up with a festive bite of holiday goodness as we spotlight Columbia Harbour House's Gingerbread Cake—because every Q&A needs a little sugar. Tune in, laugh along, and keep those questions coming!

A Day in Disney's Animal Kingdom: A Complete Guide to Adventure and AweArriving early is one of the best ways to experience Animal Kingdom. As you walk across the bridge from the Oasis toward the Tree of Life, the park begins to reveal itself slowly. Birds call from hidden perches, foliage rustles, and the elaborate carvings on the Tree of Life seem to come alive in the morning light.If you plan to experience the attractions in Pandora, heading directly there is wise. The Wait time for Avatar Flight of Passage is shortest in the morning and gives you a breathtaking ride through the landscapes of Pandora. For a gentler but equally beautiful experience, Na'vi River Journey offers a serene boat ride through bioluminescent forests.Once the initial rush settles, the park becomes a haven for exploration. The Kilimanjaro Safaris ride is a must. It is one of the rare theme park experiences where no two rides are the same, thanks to the movement and moods of the animals. Morning to late morning is a great window, as many animals are active before the heat of the day.Exploring the walking trails, such as the Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail or the Maharajah Jungle Trek, brings a quieter appreciation of the park. These trails allow you to move at your own pace, read interpretive displays, and spend time watching animals in habitats that feel remarkably open and natural.If you are hungry, Animal Kingdom has some of Disney's best food options. Satu'li Canteen offers customizable bowls that are fresh and flavorful, while Flame Tree Barbecue delivers hearty classics with scenic seating by the water.By afternoon, it is time for some excitement. Expedition Everest is the park's signature roller coaster, blending speed, storytelling, and one infamous guardian of the mountain. Even if you do not usually seek out thrill rides, Everest has a unique charm that comes from its details and immersive queue.Nearby, Finding Nemo: The Big Blue and Beyond provides a beautifully staged musical break inside a cool, dark theater. For an even deeper dive into nature and culture, Festival of the Lion King remains one of Disney's most celebrated live productions, offering breathtaking vocals, acrobatics, and choreography inspired by the film.If heat or crowds rise, this is a great time to pause with a cold drink or take a slow walk through Discovery Island, stopping to look at the often-overlooked animal exhibits surrounding the Tree of Life.As sunset approaches, the park transforms. Pandora's glowing plants begin to pulse with color, and the atmosphere shifts from lively to enchanting. This is a perfect time to walk the pathways between the floating mountains, taking in the sounds and details that are easy to miss during the day.Dinner options like Tiffins or Yak and Yeti offer relaxing, flavorful meals to close out your exploration. Afterward, enjoy a final walk past the softly lit Tree of Life. The nighttime awakenings, featuring projection shows with animal themes, are subtle but magical, offering a reflective end to the day.A day in Animal Kingdom is not just about rides or shows but about stepping into a world that celebrates exploration, conservation, and imagination. It offers a pace unlike any other Disney park, encouraging you to slow down, observe, and connect with the stories and animals around you. Whether this is your first visit or your tenth, the park always finds new ways to surprise and inspire.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.This week, Mr. Beast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, made global headlines with the official launch of Beast Land, his first-ever theme park in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The grand opening of this immersive zone during Riyadh Season 2025 brought Mr. Beast onsite, mingling with huge crowds and personally interacting with fans amid a media frenzy. According to GlobeNewswire and coverage in The Ringer, Beast Land is a sprawling, high-tech playground—think giant arenas, neon-lit obstacle courses, custom games like Beam Battle and Drop Zone, towering installations, a dedicated children's area and over twenty food stalls. The main draw, true to his YouTube brand, is the Beast Arena, with more than half a million dollars in prizes for those who rack up the most points across physical and mental challenges. Mr. Beast told AFP at the launch that the move was a nod to his massive Middle East audience, making this one of the most ambitious digital-to-real world brand transitions in years.Business activities aren't slowing either. CNN reports Mr. Beast is riding high on a content and licensing boom, having just hit a staggering 100 billion views and 450 million YouTube subscribers this month. Beast Industries, his $5 billion company, is in hyper-expansion mode, recruiting top executives to fuel both content and consumer brands.

We're diving headfirst into another round of our Main Street Magic Mailbag: Listener Q&A — one of our favorite series because we truly never know what questions are coming. They're funny, thoughtful, surprising, and sometimes just delightfully odd… which makes them perfect. We kick things off with a question about the biggest Disney purchase we regret.We break down the decisions we would absolutely not make again. Next up, we get hit with a brutal “Would you rather?” dilemma: Would you rather never try new Disney foods and drinks again, or never try new attractions? It's the kind of question that makes you choose between your taste buds and your thrill-seeking heart. We also chat about how we'd redesign an attraction queue to make it more interactive, and we come up with a few ideas that would turn waiting in line into part of the fun.From there, the holiday spirit sneaks in with a whimsical question about which job we'd choose if we worked in Santa's workshop. Would we be toymakers, bakers, reindeer wranglers, or something even more chaotic? We break down the roles that fit us and the roles that would absolutely backfire.We also explore what it would be like to spend Christmas in a Disney movie universe. With so many magical worlds to choose from — animated, live-action, wintery, colorful — we debate where we'd want to celebrate the season.Then, a big one: What must-do experiences should first-time visitors, especially kids around 8 and 11, absolutely not miss? We cover attractions, shows, character moments, and little magical touches that make a first visit unforgettable. We also squeeze in a mini conversation about iconic Disney shirts and how quickly they become conversation starters.Next, we look at the top items still lingering on our Disney bucket list — the experiences we haven't crossed off yet but can't wait to someday. Finally, we wrap things up with a delicious question: What type of new food booth would we add to EPCOT's Food & Wine Festival? We dream up flavors, themes, and creative menu ideas we'd love to see join the festival lineup.It's a fun, lively, listener-fueled episode filled with Disney talk, holiday vibes, park tips, food dreams, and plenty of laughs. Grab your headphones and enjoy another round of Main Street Magic Mailbag!

On this weeks episode, the guys wonder what would happen if Comcast Universal purchased Warner Brothers. Plus Disney announces a new annual pass, a new permit is filed for Epic Universe and few dates remain for the Christmas party.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Mr. Beast has made a major headline this week with news that he is set to open his own theme park. According to AOL, the attraction called Beast Land will welcome visitors in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, beginning November 13 and operating through December. This marks a dramatic expansion from digital creator to live entertainment entrepreneur and is being watched closely by business analysts for its potential as a new global brand extension. No other YouTuber of his scale has moved into this sort of real-world entertainment on such an ambitious level, so this could prove highly significant for his long-term biographical profile.On social media, Mr. Beast–whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson–continues to leverage his massive platforms to promote this new venture. Twitter and Instagram have been abuzz over the last couple of days, with Mr. Beast posting teasers of the theme park setup, behind-the-scenes clips, and encouraging fans in the region to visit Beast Land. Fans have already begun speculating about exclusive in-person challenges and possible surprise appearances, although at this time, nothing beyond his planned opening weekend appearance has been confirmed.Business-wise, this move has fueled fresh commentary about Mr. Beast's strategy to diversify beyond YouTube. Analysts quoted in the entertainment trades suggest the Beast Land experiment might offer insights into the power of creator-driven brand experiences, especially in high-growth markets like the Middle East. It comes hot on the heels of speculation about a possible Mr. Beast product line expansion, although concrete announcements on that front remain pending.In terms of recent public appearances, all eyes are on Riyadh for his scheduled opening-day event. While Mr. Beast has kept a relatively low in-person profile recently, his decision to headline Beast Land's launch cements his commitment to the project. Interviews and public statements have focused on his excitement to bring the immersive challenges and philanthropy fans know from YouTube into a real-world setting for the first time.No major controversies or negative stories have broken in the last 24 hours. Coverage from outlets like AOL and a variety of entertainment newswires remains overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the innovative scope of the Beast Land project and his continued rise as both digital and business powerhouse.That's everything you need to know about Mr. Beast's action-packed week.

Three companies, one economic reality—and three very different responses. Six Flags is doubling down on its “smaller and more nimble” plan, prioritizing core parks and openly confirming that more closures or sales are coming. United Parks & Resorts (SeaWorld/Busch Gardens) is battling brand confusion after a 25% profit drop, citing weather and marketing challenges while its Halloween events hit record highs. Meanwhile, Disneyland Resort announced 100 layoffs as part of an “organizational recalibration,” even as its parks remain packed and profitable. Philip and Scott unpack how each company's move reflects a different playbook for survival: consolidation, rebranding, and recalibration. The big question—whose strategy will actually work?

We're embracing our inner evil and assembling our ultimate Disney Villain Dream Teams! It's a snake-style draft where strategy, sass, and sinister laughs collide as we each pick five iconic foes from across the Disney universe.Here's how it works: we each draft two animated villains, one Pixar villain, one live-action villain, and one bonus wildcard who can come from any corner of the leftover baddies. Once a villain's been chosen, they're gone for good — no repeats allowed!Expect passionate defenses, dramatic alliances, and plenty of over-the-top reasoning as we crown our team leaders and debate who's most likely to stab someone in the back (literally or metaphorically). From Maleficent's poise to Hades' one-liners and Thanos' snap-happy attitude, every choice reveals who we think reigns supreme in the world of Disney darkness.So grab your poison apple, cue up your evil laugh, and join us for a fiendishly fun episode that proves villains really do have more fun. It's Halloween on Main Street Magic — and today, evil's never looked so good.
