What's better than a theme park podcast? A theme park podcast recorded while a tornado is actively threatening to rearrange EB's house. Welcome to another completely unhinged episode of Coaster Radio, where we somehow manage to discuss the future of Disney Imagineering, a legendary wooden coaster's potential comeback, and the glorious grit of America's boardwalk parks while EB monitors live storm tracking from his studio. We kick things off with some big news: Adobe has announced a collaboration with Walt Disney Imagineering Research & Development to bring AI-powered pre-visualization tools to the theme park design pipeline. The idea is to take Imagineering's massive archive of concept art and accelerate the development process — from blue sky sketch to 3D model, faster than ever before. Sounds exciting, right? Well, EB has thoughts. A lot of them. Speaking of attractions, Hershey Park's legendary Tidal Force — one of the most spectacular splash zones in the history of boat rides — is closing after 32 years this September. Alabama Adventure is teasing a big announcement that fans hope means the long-dormant Rampage wooden coaster is finally coming back, possibly with RMC treatment. Universal Epic Universe is debuting a brand new nighttime spectacular called Celestial Goodnight featuring seven million LED lights and 350 fountains. And Dollywood's Night Flight Expedition has been pushed back to August — which opens the door for Holiday World, who appears to be announcing their single biggest investment ever on July 1st at 8:45 AM, and all signs point to a Mack rocking boat ride coming to Boulder Canyon in 2027. Then we pivot to the second half of the show — a full celebration of boardwalk parks and the beautiful, gritty, chaotic joy of beach amusement. Mike's heading to Ocean City, Maryland for vacation, and we take a loving tour of some of America's great seaside spots: the Santa Monica Pier, Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco (including a very generous offer of free tokens to Treasure Hunt), the New Jersey piers, Coney Island (which Mike has still never visited and yes, we're calling him out), and the terminally underrated Indiana Beach. We also go deep on mini golf — specifically, how much a well-themed mini golf course with animatronics slaps, and why the card-swipe ticket system is a crime against childhood nostalgia. And yes, there's a million-dollar mini golf course for sale in EB's town if anyone's interested.

GTA 6 is coming! Rockstar has confirmed that pre-orders go live on June 25, which means we're just a week away from finally getting some meaningful answers on what to expect when the most anticipated video game of all time arrives this November.Once pre-orders open, we can expect to get answers for some of the biggest questions from not just fans, but the entire video game industry. With GTA 6, Rockstar has perhaps the biggest entertainment launch ever on its hands. This is a huge moment for the industry.

In today's Daily Fix:Data reported on by Game File's Stephen Totilo show a steady decline in sales for Sony's first-party games. Despite a roster of heavy hitters such as Ghost of Tsushima, the Spider-Man games, God of War, Horizon Forbidden West, and others, they've moved fewer and fewer of those games every year (with the exception of fiscal year 2020). However, Ghost of Yōtei did reverse this trend, providing a small sales bump for the fiscal year ending March 2026. In other news, Bethesda's Fallout 76 will be getting its long-awaited current-gen update this summer. A patch note in the latest "Infestations" update revealed that a PS5 and Xbox Series X|S upgrade is coming in a few months.

In today's Daily Fix:Wizards of the Coast reportedly have remakes of Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 in development. While they have plans for a Baldur's Gate 4, it's likely a long ways off and a remake of the first two games would hopefully hold over fans during the wait. Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 already received Enhanced Editions that were basically souped up remasters, and it's unclear what form these remakes will take. In other news, James Gunn has shared the first official look of Nicholas Hoult in the Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow, premiering next year. It features Hoult's Lex Luthor in full battle armor.

It finally happened. After years of aerial photographs, land speculation, and breathless anticipation, Mike and EB walk through the gates of Universal Epic Universe — and it does not disappoint. Well, mostly. Stardust Racers is still closed, Yoshi's Adventure is aggressively just a Yoshi that meanders, and someone on Twitter says the whole thing might need to be torn down. But other than that? Top five park day. Tom from Louisville said so himself, and Tom from Louisville has been to a lot of parks. Mike and EB go portal by portal through the whole thing — 1920s Paris at Ministry of Magic (280-minute wait; they waited 20. We said what we said.), Le Cirque Arcanus with the magic tent that's bigger on the inside, Bowser's Challenge being better than advertised, Donkey Kong Country being exactly as fun as a cartoon mine cart should be, Hiccup's Wing Gliders being a surprise contender for ride of the trip, and Monsters Unchained delivering actual honest-to-God jump scares in a theme park. They also discovered that the Burning Blade Tavern serves drinks in a beaker with what may or may not be microplastics in it. It was delicious. Plus: Seven Six Flags parks are sold for $342 million — less than the cost of a highway overpass. Disney's parks get a new worldwide president, and they hope he lives long enough to be a hero. Muppet Vision 3D is going to VR, a decision that exactly zero people are satisfied with. And Barracuda Strike opens at SeaWorld San Antonio — the family invert where the artwork shows the track going underwater, but the track does not go underwater.
After the closing credits of episode 235 the Movie Toasters chitchat about a bunch of random stuff including Universal Epic Universe, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Cedric the Entertainer, The Pitt, & more.Stay Toasty!!!

In other news, Nintendo revealed the upcoming Gen 10 games Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves, and to celebrate the franchise's 30th anniversary, The Pokémon Company is releasing a miniature Game Boy that's actually a retro jukebox.

In today's Daily Fix:Star Wars returns to the big screen in May with The Mandalorian and Grogu, but according to Variety, Lucasfilm is having doubts the movie will be as successful as the mainline series of films.

In today's Daily Fix:Insomniac has finally dropped the release date for the long-awaited Wolverine game. The news come as a welcome surprise for fans who were expecting the game to make an appearance at the latest PlayStation State of Play, but was a no-show. The game will be out September 15, 2026, just a week after another big PlayStation game—Phantom Blade Zero—also drops. In other news, Xbox co-creator Seamus Blackley has some dire predictions for the Xbox brand. Via GamesBeat, Blackley thinks the recent Xbox leadership shuffle means the brand is being 'sunsetted,' as far as being a major player in the video game space. He cites incoming CEO Asha Sharma's lack of a gaming background and her previous role as head of Microsoft's CoreAI product as indicative of Microsoft's new path for Xbox. And finally, take a peek at the five immersive worlds of the all-new Universal Epic Universe, and one of its featured attractions – Stardust Racers, all at Universal Orlando Resort.
In today's Daily Fix:Incoming Xbox CEO Asha Sharma was active on social media following last week's bombshell announcement that she would be replacing Phil Spencer. She listed a few gaming bona fides such as her three favorites being Halo, Valheim, and GoldenEye. When pressed if her accounts were being run by artificial intelligence (she was head of Microsoft's CoreAI before joining Xbox), she responded with 'Beep Boop Beep Boop.' In other news, movie producer Roy Lee confirmed that the BioShock movie is still happening, and it will be the next project for director Francis Lawrence once he's done with the next Hunger Games movie. Interestingly, Lee revealed that publisher Take-Two wants the movie's release to coincide with the next BioShock game.

In today's Daily Fix:The Walking Dead TV series had an impressive run with 11 seasons and more than 170 episodes. But even after that, plus six spin-off shows, executive producer Scott Gimple thinks there's still plenty of story to tell. Taking a cue from the France-set Daryl Dixon spin-off, the cast's core characters could find themselves all over the globe, with Gimple saying it could provide for 15 more years' worth of stories. In other news, Jar Jar Binks actor Ahmed Best is returning to the character in a one-shot comic. Star Wars: Jar Jar Binks will be co-written by Best, and will feature the character playing a pivotal role in the rebellion after Revenge of the Sith.

In today's Daily Fix:Disney's Tron: Ares is glitching at the box office. The Jared Leto-led movie pulled in $33.5 million at the domestic box office during its opening weekend, lower than Leto's 2022 flop Morbius, which earned $39 million domestic in its opening weekend. Globally, Tron: Ares sits at just over $60 million, and faces a steep climb to earn back its $180 million production budget. In other movie news, Channing Tatum says his solo Gambit movie was a little too much for Disney. The movie was going to be an R-rated rom-com andwould've featured "mutants having sex." Gambit was stuck in development hell and eventually dropped, but Tatum was able to finally put on the Cajun accent for Deadpool & Wolverine. Tatum is also featured in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.

In today's Daily Fix:James Gunn recently admitted he wanted to add a Deadpool cameo in Peacemaker's Season 2 finale. Ryan Reynolds was apparently on board, but Gunn knew getting the okay from both Warner Bros. and Marvel/Disney would've been too big of a legal hurdle.

In other news, Warner Bros. has set a date for the Minecraft movie sequel. It's expected in July of 2027, and director Jared Hess is expected to return along with most of the cast.
