Podcasting Challenges and Tools
00:00:00
Speaker
Hey Ben, making a podcast is pretty tough, right? Yeah, you gotta like record stuff and then you gotta upload it and it sucks. I know, it's a fucking bummer and it's a lot of effort, but I just found out about Anchor.fm, which lets you record and edit directly through their website or app, as well as upload and publish to platforms such as Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
00:00:21
Speaker
So anchor.fm is not a porn site, right? Not yet, because it's still free too. So you know, they'll start charging once they got only fan style content. That's good. That's good
Humorous Buffet Observations
00:00:32
Speaker
to hear. So if you want to jump on the train before it's all titties and pussies, download the anchor app or go to anchor.fm to get started. I've never been to the coaster con buffet banquet before. Is it as glamorous as you pictured it?
00:00:48
Speaker
Oh, aside from the triple XL tuxedo t-shirts, yeah. Well, that just comes with the territory. Well, at least they have a decent looking salad. Nobody eats salad. Really? Triple XL tuxedo shirts don't eat salad? Forget the salad. The good stuff is always further down the line. Frito pie in a family sized bag? Hell yeah, it's pretty good.
00:01:16
Speaker
I know, but I can't eat that much Frito Pie. That's why it's a buffet, man. I know, but it just seems excessive. It's Coaster Con. Excuse me, ma'am. Oh, that's Kesha B. Monocle. Who? She's the club photographer. Doesn't mean she has to cut into the buffet line. Never relax. She's only taking the Frito Pie. All right, all right. Are those biscuits any good?
00:01:44
Speaker
Oh yeah, those are the famous grape garlic potato biscuits. Really? Yeah, they sprinkle fresh cumin on top. Nah, I'm good. Alright, more for me. No argument here. Alright, well here's something you'll like. Good, good, what is it? It's the gravy fountain. Gravy fountain? Yeah, it's like the highlight of the buffet every year. The highlight? Hell yeah. Is that guy filling a coffee mug with gravy?
00:02:11
Speaker
Uh, looks like it. Well, like I said, it is the highlight. The bar is really high, huh? All right. Well, you have to try Miss kerfuffle surprise. The hell is that? So it's poutine with ambrosia gravy and bacon-wrapped fries cooked inside of a watermelon that's stuffed inside of a pig. People eat that. Well, they should. No. No, they shouldn't. Well, whatever, man. There's a reason this stuff is served at an ace banquet.
00:02:41
Speaker
They couldn't serve it to normal humans. Ah,
Roller Coaster Podcast Anniversary
00:02:44
Speaker
funny. This is what the park is known for though. Thought it was known for the rides. These are coaster enthusiasts, so if the park is known for anything, it's the food. Naturally. Hey, your plate's empty. I just want some normal food. Yeah, this is all normal, edible food.
00:03:00
Speaker
No, it's neither of those. But I see some hot dogs over there, so I found some dinner. Don't eat the hot dogs. Huh? Don't eat the hot dogs. Why are they encrusted with crushed strawberries? No, but that sounds pretty good. No, it doesn't. But why shouldn't I eat the hot dogs? They're eco-friendly. Like, they're sustainable? You could say that. Why could I say that? Recycled. Recycled?
00:03:28
Speaker
You know, like how you have an old soda can and then it's like comes a new soda can. All right. Look, I'm not sure if it's what you just said or the BO in the room or both, but I'm going to go vomit. All right. Well, I'm not going to leave an empty plate here.
00:03:50
Speaker
Welcome to the worst roller coaster podcast on the internet. Now, let's join Ben and Zach as they tell you why your favorite coaster sucks.
Seattle's Smoky Conditions
00:04:06
Speaker
I'm Zach and I can eat chicken nuggets through my nose. I'm Ben and Seattle has smoked the fuck out right now and I'm dying.
00:04:19
Speaker
Is that like the good smoke the fuck out or like the bad smoke the fuck out? Well, it smells like a barbecue, but I don't think it's barbecue. A force is on fire and Smokey the Bear is really pissed. I heard he picked up heroin. Motherfuckers with their cigarette butts.
00:04:40
Speaker
Yeah dude, Smokey the Bear is just like fuck this, I'm out. Easy way out. So I feel bad for him. Yeah, Smokey's in some shack somewhere making meth. Maybe it was his fault. Maybe one of his meth labs exploded in the forest, I mean. Between him and Sasquatch, I could see some shady shit going down.
00:05:08
Speaker
Plus the other thing is like if they're out there selling to each other then you know they're both packing Maybe it's a turf war. I mean we've been going about the hunt for Bigfoot all wrong You just need to put some some fucking straight-up meth into a snare Right our
00:05:33
Speaker
So season two in full force,
YouTube Launch and Patreon Goals
00:05:35
Speaker
man. This is back. This fantastic. No, this is going up live. We're actually on the day this goes live. We are two days from our one year anniversary when we post our first episode. That's fucking crazy. Right. So that's pretty exciting.
00:06:00
Speaker
Yeah, it's weird too. Cause like, I just moved into this new apartment and I'm slowly realizing that I've been in Seattle for a year. It's weird. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, how's the adjustment been? Oh, this new apartment is so great. It's like 10 fold better than my last one. So I actually, I actually have like a little recording area. Well, it's a desk, but you know what I mean? Hey, that works.
00:06:31
Speaker
The only problem that sucks is like, I think there's like old people all around me, so I can't really smoke it out, which is fine. I can go for a walk, but it still kind of sucks. Lame ass old folks. You're right. Although like if they're old, they're probably ripping dabs, you know, for their arthritis. My grandson told me this would help my joints.
00:07:00
Speaker
And it's just got like the most insane like strain name. She's like, I only smoke. Whatever. I don't know. I can't think of a funny strain name. There's too many. I only smoke Alaska thunder fuck. I only smoke scrotum Kush. Out of a bubbler or bong. I don't want your fucking bowl, young man.
00:07:34
Speaker
All right. Yeah. So right on. Quick, quick house cleaning, housekeeping, whatever the fuck the thing is when you do some shit at the top of the podcast. We have a YouTube channel now, Ben. Holy shit. That's that's cool. Fucking time. All right. Or am I right?
00:08:01
Speaker
So maybe we'll get some new viewer
Theme Parks and Current Events
00:08:04
Speaker
based when, you know, some guy is on like a Q and on rabbit hole and then like our podcast will show up in related content. Yeah, I'm very curious to see what kind of people we end up attracting through YouTube. Oh, you know.
00:08:25
Speaker
Yeah, you know, it'd be funny to like figure out what the theme park review hashtags use and then just like, you know.
00:08:34
Speaker
a Rob Elvie episode pops up on a Rob Elvie video. That would be fantastic. But I'm mainly making this announcement as of right now for our YouTube visitors, visitors, viewers. For those who are watching the show or listening to the show on YouTube. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, we got to do the normal annoying YouTube shit and ask you for a like and a subscribe. That's it. We won't bother you with this shit anymore. I promise.
00:09:04
Speaker
But if you're watching on YouTube, hit the like button, hit the subscribe. We'll keep shit coming. And actually to that, I had an idea. And you know what, fuck it, we'll just talk about it right on the air. There's a little bit of how the sausage is made, folks. Ben, I was thinking, you know, our recording platform is now offering video recording. So we already have one Patreon goal set. If we hit $100 a month,
00:09:31
Speaker
We'll record these shows live so our listeners can listen in. I'm thinking that if we can get that number up to 250 a month, we'll start doing fully video episodes. How's that sound to you? Um, I should probably get a haircut, but yeah, that sounds good. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, we'll see. It might take a little while, but I'm throwing that out there now that we have, uh,
00:09:59
Speaker
Content consistently being uploaded to YouTube. So if you want to see video podcasts of this show Head on over to patreon we hit 250 bucks a month. We will make that happen for you all the first hundred dollars a month We will record these live for anyone to listen and chat on Jesus. That is just terrifying to think about the prospects of but We'll make it happen for you guys Yeah
00:10:28
Speaker
Yeah. So, um, shit, do we got anything else before we just get to it? Cause no reason to not just get to it. Um, now parks are still kind of like not really open, right? Yeah. It's a, it's a weird state of affairs currently in the theme park world. Uh,
00:10:52
Speaker
So we're, we're kinda, we're kinda, you know, taking a step back from covering any news, but we'll still be doing the regular stuff that we're doing here on the show. We got some great guests coming on. I have a couple confirmed for the next couple episodes after these, they're going to be a lot of fun. You guys will enjoy them. I don't want to spill the beans on who they are.
00:11:21
Speaker
But trust, we got some good shows coming up. Right on. Yeah, yeah. You going any parks, you planning any trips between now and the end of the quote unquote season? I don't know. I got to go to San Francisco on Sunday for this new job. I don't think anything is really open over there, though.
00:11:48
Speaker
I don't, I doubt it. Like if California is good, America is open. I might want to try to stop there, but otherwise I don't, I don't think so. I think the state of California, everything's closed there currently in terms of parks. Yeah. It sounds about right. Well,
Splash Mountain Controversy
00:12:09
Speaker
I mean, at least it'll be kind of nice there maybe.
00:12:14
Speaker
It's on fires, too, so it's fun. Like the whole West Coast is in flames. Oh, it'll remind you of being at home. It has a warmth to it. What? It has a warmth to it. Yeah, that's true. It's just like the sky, like the sky right now. I've never seen the sky like this here. It's just such a weird color. It's stay safe.
00:12:43
Speaker
Like, so last, so last night, some, um, abnormal wind storm, it's like a once in a hundred year wind storm system blew through. We were on the, we were on the coast and all of a sudden it was just this like wall of black. Like you could actually see the wind change and bring the smoke 180 plus miles, like to the city. It was like a horror movie. It was pretty cool though.
00:13:12
Speaker
Dude, that's insane. Glad you're staying safe. I mean, it's, it's like safe. It's just, you know, it's just not great if you have asthma or something, but yeah, it's weird. I've seen fires and I've seen a lot of fires in Colorado, but this smoke here is definitely probably some of the worst I've seen. Well, masks are very useful for a lot of reasons. Yeah, that's true.
00:13:43
Speaker
but definitely stay safe out there. Yeah, it should be fine. It's 2020. So if anything does happen, it'll be pretty expected. We'll make sure to upload some content about it. Yeah. I'll live stream it. Perfect. The, your favorite coaster sucks. Armageddon special.
00:14:14
Speaker
Maybe sneak in a wild waves since that park is closed. Yeah, there you go. All right, well,
Vegas Wedding Adventures

00:17:04
Speaker
We'll, we'll see. We'll, we'll figure that out. But for right now, just start subscribing. For now, if we can get to, uh, what do we say? Let's, let's start with a small attainable goal, a hundred subscribers. We can get up to a hundred subscribers on YouTube. We will start making original video content to go along with the side, our re-uploads of our back catalog and our new episodes.
00:17:31
Speaker
which do come out a week late on our YouTube channel. Sorry to everyone who's listening over there. Wanted to point that out as well. Our newest episodes are a week behind what is being posted. So all of you on YouTube are getting this one week past when we posted it for the rest of the audience.
00:17:48
Speaker
If you want to get on board with the timely releases, you got to just go ahead and subscribe. iTunes, Apple podcast, Spotify, SoundCloud, Podbean, whatever. We're on every podcast app that you can imagine. Just type in your favorite coaster sucks and there you'll find us. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. God damn, that's a lot of plugs. You want to get one more in for us, Ben?
00:18:16
Speaker
Yeah, if we hit 250 subscribers, we will make an OnlyFans page. Oh, boy. Then we can get some of that art that Slater commissioned. No. Yeah. I was thinking maybe the shirts. Go ahead. What about the shirts? Since we're plugging everything up top, man, let's plug those shirts. Buy a shirt.
00:18:45
Speaker
Amazon, they have the logo. They're fun. You can wear it in line at an overrated roller coaster and see if anybody stops you and tries to become your friend and you can tell them the fuck off.
00:19:04
Speaker
Sure can. You can tell them your favorite coaster sucks by just wearing a shirt. How great is that? And we've got two different designs up there right now. So we've got our classic golden ticket logo and our awesome rolly ride logo.
00:19:23
Speaker
They're both available, lots of colors, lots of sizes. Buy one! Tell everybody who's in line at Kings Island how much you hate the beast. Or Orion. Or Diamondback. Or even Mystic Timbers. Simply by putting the shirt on.
00:19:43
Speaker
I also think that, uh, you should talk really loudly about, um, RM seeing the beast. So like, if you're there on an opening day or, you know, a day where there's a lot of enthusiasts, like every time you ride the beast, you should just talk really loud about how the ride sucks. And they need to RM see it. That Alan Shilke is the coaster God. Um, and don't let people tell you otherwise.
00:20:10
Speaker
And you want Alan Shilke to show up and shit on the rail of the beast. I would. That would be great. With all that said, you got anything else, Ben?
Vegas Trip Reflections
00:20:25
Speaker
No, I'm good. All right, let's get to the fucking show. Oh, Lord. He's pretty gummy. What's that, John?
00:20:42
Speaker
John, you're killing these impressions. All right. It looks like we're rolling in sync.
00:20:49
Speaker
Bye bye bye. Sick and tired of seeing all these people talk about. Do you ever wonder why? It's like that TPR video we watched. Oh, it starts to rock. It really, really sucked.
00:21:19
Speaker
Oh, that's right season or the whatever the first one Coaster. Yeah one where he's like a magic mountain and that's the song he uses and it's like fucking of course Oh, he used a pop Yeah, a magic mountain. It's like 2001. So it's like all this footage of Goliath when it's brand new And those kids he doesn't take care of wait what I
00:21:51
Speaker
Anyway, spilling some tea here. You must not be named on this podcast. Yeah, that guy sucks. No, that guy lives in Florida and has a douchey mustache. Rob Alvey we can talk about. What are you talking about Pete? No. Florida? Oh, he lives in Florida? Well, Rob lives in Florida too. There's a lot of douchey content creators in Florida. Okay. I guess I didn't know you were talking about my pad.
00:22:20
Speaker
There's one who sounds like Kermit the Frog and has a mustache. Oh, Darian. Yeah, we definitely. He goes. He goes. He goes. Good afternoon. Maybe that guy. He's. I'll text you it, Jamie. We don't speak his name. Good. Yeah. Fuck that guy. If you want to know who we're talking about, go go. He's on YouTube. His name is Florida resident edits.
00:22:50
Speaker
It's not. And big shout to Florida Resident Edits. If you like any of the Orlando content, the Disney Universal content, go check out Florida Resident Edits on YouTube. Their page is great if you enjoy any of those vloggers. Yeah. Oh, that guy. OK, I got you. Oh, you just I just texted to you guys. OK. Hold on.
00:23:20
Speaker
Check it out. Yeah, that guy's an asshole. I don't have it yet. Here it is. Oh, OK, him. Fair enough. Fair enough. I'll clue you in later. I have a personal connection to the to that tidbit of information, but I'll I'll send it out later. Oh, Snaps, I didn't know this. OK, fair enough. Yeah. All right, moving on.
00:23:50
Speaker
Well, if we're still bashing content creators, we'll take a quick second to just, you know, fuck you everyone on Disney Twitter that's still throwing a fit about Splash Mountain.
00:24:06
Speaker
Yes, indeed. Every time I see a post on Reddit or Facebook, I always downvote on Reddit, of course. And I usually say something snarky on Facebook pages because I'm just fucking sick of it. I'm just fucking sick of it. Oh, I'm going to miss Splash Mountain so much. Or this is the last time I got to ride Splash Mountain. It was the last day before the park closed before the COVID. I'm like, shut the fuck up. Just shut it.
00:24:29
Speaker
Yeah, that was like, that was honest. I'll be honest with you. This boss is one of my favorite. I love the music, whatever. How do you do all that? Laugh in place, whatever the songs are. But yeah, so I was when they announced the changes to the Prince the Frog theme, I was a little like sad. But then I stepped back and thought about it for multiple
00:24:58
Speaker
thoughts in my mind. I'm like, no, this it's time. It's been 30 years. Whatever. Somewhere around there, right? Since that was was was came out was debut. I mean, the Song of the South, you know, it's got its stuff. So and it's freaking like Prince of the Frog, which my opinion has not always gotten its
00:25:23
Speaker
Spotlight it's deserves the past whatever ten years since it came out. So You know, I think it's gonna be good. I think you're gonna do a great job, especially in Disneyland I think it's gonna fit into the theme with New Orleans Square being right there very well I don't know what they're gonna do with the poo ride, but We'll see I think it's really good. I'm hoping I just get to experience the ride One more time before it closes
00:25:48
Speaker
Oh, yeah, for sure. I'm definitely just sick of seeing all these fucking prayer bloggers defending this ride that was like pretty fucking questionable taste when it opened. Yeah, I think so for me, I mean, I agree. Like it took me a while to realize that it's like.
00:26:11
Speaker
You know, some of this stuff, especially given today's climate, and I've watched Song of the South bootleg in the past many years ago, and, you know, it's a sensitive thing. It's not always good. So, I mean, this is the time, and making things more relevant to, you know, 21st century with
00:26:37
Speaker
first black princess diana whatever i mean that's that's a good way to pay pay respects but i'll be honest i'll i'll miss pieces of splashman i i can't i can't deny that and along with along the lines of you know the whole splash button redo i'm not sure if you remember this ryan i i hope i'm reading correctly um because i can't find out on the internet anywhere but
00:27:01
Speaker
In the last scene, there was a black bird with a black woman's voice. I was like belting, you know, so they took that out a long time ago because I thought it was freshly insensitive. So I'm like, I mean, they could have just not made her a black bird and still kind of had her vocals in there. But yeah, I've got, I have one of the Disney land soundtracks and they used to release those on pretty much an old basis with that black bird, you know, audio. Yeah.
00:27:30
Speaker
Yep. Yep. I know exactly what you're talking about, but that's the thing. It's like, you know, people were being, people were heightened to some of the stuff. They were aware of some of the stuff that was happening in the ride, even back 20 years ago. So I think that's, I don't think you, you meant it, but in a way, for me, it's like one way in which the ride's not, I mean, it's kind of stood the test of time with them making those alterations.
00:27:55
Speaker
Um, so, so, so in some ways in my mind, it's like, okay, they got rid of the blackbird. Cause I remember that mistake, but they got rid of the blackbird in the finale scene. So, you know, what's the problem? And it's like, you know, it's more than that. It's, it's, it's the whole, you know, idea, the fact that this, this, the, the, the, the legacy, the root of this bride is a song in the South still. I mean, I don't know.
00:28:21
Speaker
And plus it's a trade-off, right? Yeah. Trump's in the hall of presidents. This is something else that's got to balance it out, right? Some people are saying that you can only have so many racist animatronics at a park.
Political Humor and Listener Reactions
00:28:37
Speaker
Some people are saying that they should turn it into like a Hamilton attraction since Hamilton's part of the Disney universe now.
00:28:44
Speaker
Yeah, I saw Muppet Hamilton show instead of Hall of Presidents. I will fund it myself. That would be lit as fuck. Can we repurpose those animatronics? That would be amazing. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
00:28:57
Speaker
I always joke that the Donald Trump looks like a repurposed Hillary mask. Like they went to make a Hillary cause that she's going to win. And then they got Trump instead. So they just like did a little different makeup on the Trump mask and just threw that on the animatronic. Here's the crazy thing is like that Trump animatronic, it looks more human than he does.
00:29:19
Speaker
That's I think there's some truth to the Hillary thing. I mean, maybe there's not truth, but I've definitely heard that myself. I thought that was I thought that was the case. I mean, it looks more like Hillary Clinton than Donald Trump. Totally. Wouldn't it be great if after he's out of office, they just turn his around so it's facing the wall the whole time? Put it in the very far back from the back. Yeah. Yep. Give him a shitty haircut.
00:29:48
Speaker
works for me. Well, you don't need help with that. So, you know, I mean, just like put, put the, put the trimmers right down the middle of his head, like an inverse Mohawk and just have them say one thing. The whole show is just beautiful. China China. But seriously, fuck that guy with a cat.
00:30:24
Speaker
I mean, we don't we don't like to get super political, except wait. Yes, we do. We got accused of pushing a liberal agenda on this show. So. Fuck it. We'll push a liberal agenda on this show. Do you think there's part of me? There's part of me that kind of hopes that was like a troll. But the profile picture was an American flag.
00:30:52
Speaker
Wait, we're talking about the people who called you a libtard? They ain't calling you a libtard. I don't know what they said, but... They just said that, they said, oh, hell nah. This is about roller coasters. You're pushing a liberal agenda. You're pushing a liberal agenda in Russian.
00:31:17
Speaker
I like it, I like it. How did everybody like the roller coaster in New York, New York? Was it your favorite ride ever? It was probably my favorite ride of all time. Really? Okay. Oh, of course not. Congratulations. It's definitely a top 10 coaster. Yeah, I think it was definitely the best and fastest wedding I've ever been to.
00:31:45
Speaker
Which is perfect, right? Yeah, yeah, it's great. It was not boring. Which I don't want to toot, you know, our own horn too much, but fucking A, in and out, you know, ride a roller coaster, bang, boom, marriage over. That's great. Go get a mini mouth, in and out burger after. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That was delicious. It was super delicious.
00:32:12
Speaker
No, it was great. It was so fast. It was like a crazy morning that morning, but we all made it there. We all made it to the ceremony and maybe did our thing and then rode the roller coaster. It was fun.
00:32:26
Speaker
Yeah, the staff did a great job. You were awesome. I think you guys just looked absolutely great. You were so photogenic in that front seat there and doing your vows and being adorable and yeah. Well, I totally missed the term of what vows were. I'll be excited and researched because I wrote a whole damn speech. I apologize. I've been talking for like so long. Everyone loved it.
00:32:51
Speaker
Okay, good. I'm glad I went first because I had my like three heartfelt sentences and then Rhianne's got a whole acceptance speech with jokes and everything. Hey, there's more time for me to photograph you guys. Yes, that's true. Thank you. I've seen a couple of previews and everything looks great. Thank you so much. For sure.
00:33:19
Speaker
Yeah, you took great pictures and Laurie, you took some great pictures also. I saw some of those candid shots of us. I was like, holy moly. Oh, good. Someone got those. Yeah. Oh, John, I'll make sure you can see see what Laura put together to make sure everybody's connected, at least on Facebook or something, because, yeah, she got some great stuff, too. Cool. And we all went to the actually that's that's actually a perfect segue.
00:33:47
Speaker
If anybody has a social media account, they want to plug here and possibly get some followers.
Vegas Neon Museum and Activities
00:33:54
Speaker
Warning, they come from Ben and I, though, so. Well, I have nothing, so next. I got nothing coaster related anymore, so pass. What was the question?
00:34:13
Speaker
So media, anyone who wants to plug it and everyone's just like, I'm too humble for this. Oh, I don't want any association to this shit. In fact, did you not use my real name? Can you alter my voice as well? I don't change my name to Hank Hill. Could you edit that one part out? What part? The part with me. Which part? Yeah.
00:34:44
Speaker
Well, the part with me. Breathe, man, breathe. I'm. I'm just barely alive. It's OK. Just barely hanging on. Just just smoke a little bit and come back, come back to us. Yeah, I just I just need oxygen and alcohol. So we'll be fine. Yeah. Well, I'm Phantom Cygnus on Twitter and Phantom underscore Cygnus on Instagram.
00:35:14
Speaker
That's about it. Is that like Phantom's Revenge or like a Roland Phantom or some other kind of Phantom? Just some other kind of Phantom. I played WoW for one day with a few of my friends, and I needed a screen name, so we came up with that. And I've been using that ever since. Right now. Wow. Shut up, Laura. Go home. We invited you.
00:35:45
Speaker
You guys can check out my blog. I'm at easilythrilled.blogspot.com. That sounds like a roller coaster blog. Yeah, I write about deep thoughts and technology in the future and what takes me off at times. You've got some COVID gear on there too, right, Laura? Or is that on your blog? Yeah, so my blog links to my fabric store.
00:36:16
Speaker
Is that what you're talking about, Rhianne? Yep. That's the one. Yeah, okay. So yeah, my fabric store has a lot of face masks and different facial coverings and neck gaiters on there. Some that are strangely reminiscent of Disney patterns, if that's a thing that you're interested in. But legally distinguishable, absolutely. Correct. Yep.
00:36:45
Speaker
So there is no trouble to be had there, just some very legally distinguishable, but inspired by. And we'll put, we'll put the link in the episode description because we all know nobody likes to listen and type. So that's right down, down there for you.
00:37:06
Speaker
Anybody else got a plug they want to get in? Now's the time though. Yeah. Onlyfans.com slash arrow F underscore C K R. Nice. Doing a special for this month. So yeah. John Rev.
00:37:35
Speaker
I'm John Rev, wherever. Everywhere that John Rev is sold. Check him out. He does some fantastic photography and he is dying to take on any wedding clients. So if you're getting married soon, John Rev will do your wedding. Oh, God, no.
00:38:02
Speaker
God, I was just about to plug, like, you captured my cue so well, you know, even though you were novice. I was going to plug that, but I'll leave you alone. But still, kudos to you. Hey, thanks for helping me get there to do it. Definitely. No, it's amazing what I've seen so far. Thank you.
00:38:28
Speaker
I can't tell you how many trees I've stood in front of and completely washed out in photos. So we're doing good. Well, so far, all of the stuff that was shot in film is done. Awesome. Wow. So all I have left to do is the digital work. OK. So maybe. Can't say thank you enough, but thank you.
00:38:55
Speaker
So, you know, obviously this is all a big ad for his wedding photography business. And criminal activities, what? Hey, those two are not mutually exclusive. Wait, are we wrapping up? Do you have something else? Yeah, we didn't talk with the neon museum. I know it's not coasters, but I mean, just really cool. It would be like the neon museum. Oh, that. Neon museum.
00:39:25
Speaker
The neon museum and that projection show. God damn. That's some theme park, good theme park quality shit. It took me so long to figure out that we were watching projections and not the signs line up. I knew there were signs everywhere saying, these signs are decommissioned. You're looking at a projection, but it was so well done.
00:39:53
Speaker
Right. And the synchronization is just spot on with the music. Yeah. That was a lot of fun. I enjoyed that. Super cool. Okay. That was the last thing I had. Sorry. That's all right. No plug, plug for the neon museum. If you're in Vegas, go check it out. Yeah, definitely do that. It's worth the, you know, admission and the drive out of town.
Gambling Tales in Vegas
00:40:20
Speaker
Yeah, we saw the Believe show, I think it was called. Yeah. Talking about me and John were just talking about. Is that what it's called on? God damn it. What's it called? Brilliant. Brilliant. Thank you. Brilliant. Definitely worth seeing that show. I'd like to go back and see the museum during the daytime. Yeah. Check out some of those signs that were a little more obscured.
00:40:49
Speaker
Although it was definitely cool to see them like lit up the ones they had displayed properly. So great. You know, I have another question. I have another survey for everybody. What was your, um, I have one too. What was your favorite part of Vegas guys? Part of the trip. I mean, besides what's up with the wedding, we had a lot of other fun stuff happening. So, okay, we can have the wedding in, but.
00:41:17
Speaker
Well, I took a walk down the strip after midnight, and as I'm walking the corner, I think that plaza next to Bally's, here comes two fucking rascal scooters with one guy dressed as Mario and one guy dressed as Luigi, chasing each other. Oh, that's hilarious. Those rascal scooters are everywhere, everywhere in Vegas.
00:41:44
Speaker
Oh, shit. Yeah, I remember when we were over at In-N-Out, John and Rhianne, there was a guy who had one of those. He fucking put the thing on two wheels. Like really? Like he's like him and his friend are like cruising down the like street portion where everyone's walking. And he's like, check this out. And he like boom. And he's on two wheels on the side.
00:42:10
Speaker
And he's just like riding down the street with his crew on the two wheels. It was like, wow, this shit is... Yeah, this is Vegas. Yep. Well, I remember when we were around Planet Hollywood and I think it was one of the street performers who takes pictures and some douchebags started getting into it, like almost fighting. Oh, that's right. Yeah.
00:42:38
Speaker
Oh, that like that lady that was harassing people? Yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. She was like hardcore. Oh, she was ripping into him. Oh, my God, totally. She had the cheapest way to do it, too, is she'd be like, you look like you have a tiny dick. And then if someone reacted, she'd be like, you laugh. That means you owe me money. Oh, my God. Yeah, she was a mess. She was a mess.
00:43:07
Speaker
Okay, Laura, what was your favorite Vegas moment? I mean, I think hanging out in that room and that suite, I mean, it was just, it was such a great view. And, you know, we don't get to see you guys a lot since we live in different parts of the country. So it was just cool to see and hang out. I will say specifically,
00:43:28
Speaker
It was really funny when we pulled up the YouTube video for Thunder Dolphin. And we started counting how many times we're gonna see like that lift hill in the video. And I thought surely, well, we won't get past like five or six, right? And it got to like 27 or something to the point of just ridiculous. And so we just kept counting it over and over again. It was just the most absurd thing in the world.
00:43:55
Speaker
Oh man, I'm trying for a week, I don't do it. I was just like, I just stopped counting. I'm like, this is ridiculous. That video could have been called literally every shot of Thunderdowlph Impossible. Ever, in the history of Japan.
00:44:12
Speaker
That's got to be the most sad vacation. It's like this single dude. He's like, yeah, I came to Japan. He's like, OK, I have four days booked at La Quad, Tokyo Dome City. One day I'm going to ride rides. In three days, I'm filming the rides.
00:44:33
Speaker
Yeah, Japan just to do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I'm going to get like fifteen hundred YouTube views. And what was your favorite part of Vegas? You were there for such a short time, but I mean, we still had a good time. That was awesome. The just basically just hanging out in the room. It's just like nice out. It's just like a fun party space.
00:45:02
Speaker
Definitely, definitely. What was your favorite, Rhianne? Trying to drink that 100 ounce drink in the room with everybody hanging out. Oh, it's funny you mentioned that 100 ounce drink, because that was my least favorite part of the trip. No, thank you. My favorite part was the wedding, but that was fun too.
00:45:30
Speaker
You can't you can't use the wedding. Yeah, I know. I know. But no, definitely. It was that during just like I was so sure we walked into that place and got those drinks. Mind you, people listening. A hundred ounce like drink that you can carry around with the little like next giant lanyard, you know, like a giant. Yeah. Yeah. Like four foot long novelty white girl drink.
00:45:58
Speaker
Perfect job. So yeah, like I'm going, but I can drink this. It's like five shots on a whole bunch of like Slurpee or whatever the fuck they put in there. So like keeping up with Jamie and Zach and just drinking and drinking and it did not happen. I think I fell asleep and that was the end of that, but it was fun to try. Yeah. Zach, what was your favorite part? Um,
00:46:26
Speaker
Aside from the wedding, I don't know, it's it's hard to single out any specific parts. I really enjoyed being with everyone hanging out in the room. And then also like the night before we got married, you went to sleep. I think Jamie and Laurie, you guys retired to your room.
00:46:51
Speaker
And then I walked with Ben and John back to New York, New York, and then we're hanging for a few. And then John called in tonight, and I'm all charged up, because we're going to get married the next day. So I'm like, Ben, let's go hit the casino floor. So we go play for a little bit, and we're playing. And then next thing I know, Ben's up a whole bunch. He's up to 150 from 20s we were playing on.
00:47:19
Speaker
He's like, we should blow this all on roulette. And I'm like, OK. So we like find a roulette table and we put like one hundred fifty dollars on red and it's black black. What's wrong with you? Always black. Oh, it's but it was just like fucking hilarious because I don't know. It's killing time. And it's like, well, what if we double the money? Yeah, that'd be the shit.
00:47:50
Speaker
Oh, it's all gone. All right. Well, that's Vegas, though. See, like when it goes when it's like 20 to 150, it's like. I don't know. It's like when you got to take a chance. It's like a guilt free. It's like a guilt free rush.
00:48:16
Speaker
I'm so scared of table games, you guys. The closest I got was playing war with Zach. What was that Cosmo, babe? Oh, that was great, too. I was going to say two other things. Was that playing war? Because I didn't even know war was a game at a casino straight out of Vegas vacation. But it's not like half the deck. You just get one card at a time. But it's great.
00:48:44
Speaker
It was a lot of fun.
Nostalgic Memories of Vegas
00:48:46
Speaker
I sucked, but Zach did amazing, and then I proceeded to lose 100 balls in five minutes, but it's okay. There's no skill to it, though. It's just luck. You have the luck. I do not. Yeah, I think he did okay, though, on the machines, on the slots. Yeah, Rian, you did great on the machines.
00:49:10
Speaker
But I was also going to say, playing that funky blackjack downtown, Laura. That was really fun, too. Because I had never... Yeah, what did they call it? Switch. Switch Blackjack. Switch. Yeah. That was an interesting stipulation.
00:49:28
Speaker
Yeah, and we got it pretty quickly, and then that lady joined us, and she could not get over it at all. She wasn't getting it, and I was kind of trying not to laugh, because you were explaining it to her. I was trying to jump in, but then at a certain point, it was just over her head or something. You were being very polite.
00:49:59
Speaker
Yeah, I remember I was standing with Jamie when she walked up and like this lady thinks she's the shit. Little do I know. Yeah. Fuck, she was doing. She had no idea what she was doing. She could not grasp the concept. She like sat down and like she put 100 bucks down right away, too. And she's like, so this is blackjack. And it's like, well, yeah, kind of kind of. And like we kept switching when it was the right moment. And she's like,
00:50:12
Speaker
Yeah, I'll take that other drink. All right.
00:50:29
Speaker
Oh, oh, um, oh, I should have switched that one. It's like, well, you just lost. So yeah, you should have, but like, that was pretty funny. Yeah. And then I started playing poker on the side. That was fun. Oh yeah. They let you bet for poker hands, which was also interesting.
00:50:54
Speaker
That dealer was trying to sell it every time. Oh, if you would have if you would have bet on the poker hand, you'd have had, you know, fifteen hundred dollars this time. Oh, well, too bad I didn't. I like I was having enough trouble just like trying to keep my composure with two hands of blackjack.
00:51:18
Speaker
let alone trying to side bet for poker. Plus, I'm like having the drinks that they're bringing around. Yeah, true story. I cannot do mental math in my head like at all. Makes two of us. So I was I was failing so hard. I was like, oh, that adds up to 12, right? No, that adds up to 24. OK, Laura. Like I'm not even close. That happened to me a couple of times, too. I'm like, oh, 17 hit me. Fuck, that was 18.
00:51:50
Speaker
Wait, I know what else was cool when we were there and nobody's mentioned yet. Well, at least me, John and Zach got to go see the speed, the ride track. That was kind of right. I had no idea it was right there. I had no idea it was just right off the trip like that. That was really cool to go see. Yeah, rest in peace. No, he says. Rest in peace. Rest in peace. Yeah, there you go. Rap and Pepsi.
00:52:21
Speaker
Rest in spaghetti. Never forget in Pepsi cans. Rest in spaghetti. Never forget. Oh, my God. I also really enjoyed doing the pictures. Even though the sun at the sign was fucking blazing. Oh, God. Yeah, I some of the exposures on that came out pretty bright.
00:52:51
Speaker
But the film one's got it. Yeah, that that sun was blazing, but like those pictures looked great. And then the guy who was there like who probably didn't work for anybody. Like just trying to give photography advice for tips.
00:53:11
Speaker
Yeah, like he just claimed that spot or like maybe every day there's just like people who like have to claim it. He's just he's just. Well, I saw there because there is no official guy who's supposed to be there. Did not see that. Interesting. Well, probably all the better that there was four of us up there then. Right.
00:53:36
Speaker
My feet were burning so bad on the pavement. Because I just had those little flat things. Yeah, they're like flats you wear after you're wearing heels for a while. You just put them in your purse. Those things have no soul. My feet were scorching when we were out there. I was trying to hide it, but it probably comes across a couple of those photos, John. No. No, I didn't see it in any of them. OK. All right. Awesome. It was painful.
00:54:10
Speaker
It is better to look good than to feel good. Can I ask one more question? Is that the question?
00:54:26
Speaker
It's stupid. Well, that's kind of the that's kind of the hook of the show. But that's not a question. I probably have one Excel open right now with questions. This is my last one I have. Well, I can't do more, but I just what if what if I would have said, I don't know, can you? Oh, my God. OK, Pee Wee. I want to watch Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Have you guys seen that movie before, Pee Wee's Big Adventure?
00:54:55
Speaker
The question. I'm sorry. You said today's secret word. Everybody. So my question for everybody is, and I don't even have an answer, so I'm not going to answer first. I want to hear what you guys have to say. What's like the one ride, whatever it may be, rollercoaster, dark ride, whatever the fuck.
00:55:23
Speaker
What ride that's been extinct, would you want back the most? Dueling dragons. Dueling dragons. Dude, there's a new vehicle. Hold on. Hold on. I just. Rian. Rian, on our show. Yeah. This segment is called Tribute to a Dead Ride. Oh, I'm sorry. I apologize, baby. Thank you for listening, though. Oh, I don't try that.
00:55:53
Speaker
You know I have a business this July 2019. Like, come on. That day one ish right there. That's right. Last time when she listened was before we started. So September 2019. Well, anyway.
00:56:17
Speaker
The way we do it on our show is this is a segment we do. I know you're familiar, but for our listeners who haven't heard before, this segment's called Tribute to a Dead Ride. I can't read you. I can't read you, Bill. I'm so sorry.
00:56:47
Speaker
So, with that said, why don't we all pay tribute to a dead ride? I got the idea from Ria. My tummy hurts from laughing.
00:57:08
Speaker
So, Rhianne, what ride would you like to pay tribute to? I just said it.
Tributes to Lost Theme Park Rides
00:57:15
Speaker
Let me go last. Well, Laura, what ride would you like to pay tribute to? Does it have to be retired? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a ride that's no longer operating, you know, either torn down or not operating or whatever.
00:57:39
Speaker
Because the one that I'm thinking of is not retired, but it's just so old that it really should be. And it's like totally busted now, but it was good back in its prime. But that doesn't count you're saying, huh? What ride are you thinking of? Yeah, I'm curious too. Loch Ness Monster at Busch Gardens.
00:58:02
Speaker
So that was a childhood ride of mine that got me hooked on roller coasters. I rode it four times that day and I made my family let me stay later so I could ride it. And it was just the best ride ever. And then when Javen and I went to Busch Gardens as adults, it sucked. It was like, oh my gosh, that ruined my whole childhood. The interlocking loops are cool, but the rest of it's pretty meandering.
00:58:32
Speaker
Yeah, but yeah, for some reason as a kid, that was like what got me hooked. Like I was like, yeah, I love them. Well, I don't know if we can pay tribute to it because it is still technically alive. We're going to have to give it another three years. All right. All right. Then I'll, then I'll go to a vortex that one that we drove out to.
00:59:02
Speaker
Just for real. Thanks, Gloria. Well, no, that highlights a good point, and that is that piece of shit is gone now and it won't hurt anyone ever again. Very nice. All right, Jamin. Oh, yeah, so mine's a dueling dragons at Island Adventure. Yeah, gone far too soon.
00:59:30
Speaker
far too soon. I would have even taken dragon challenge, but dueling dragons in its heyday looked like it was probably one of the best inverts in the world or invert two of them, whatever in the world. Yeah, that right. That's amazing.
00:59:44
Speaker
I don't know. I live there like and sometimes I go like on a weekday if I was off that day and we would just go back and forth between like what was it? Red and blue fire and ice or whatever. We just go back and forth. I mean, there's no line like you could just hop at the station and go to the other side and get off the ride. Go to the other station anyway and the other side, whatever. But it was a lot of fun. It's good, right? And my honorable mention is a moonsault scramble.
01:00:14
Speaker
Fuck yeah. What's that? Pretty sick. The craziest looking fucking coaster ever. Wait, where's that? It was in Japan at Fuji Q. It was at, yeah, Fuji Q. Oh, okay. Isn't that where Eejanike is now? No, that's where Steel Dragon is now.
01:00:31
Speaker
Oh, OK. It pulled six G's. I think it was the most intense coaster of all time, maybe. I thought it was six point two or something. Something like that. Yeah. Well, it was some RCDB. It was six or higher. Yeah, exactly. Definitely. Which is just insane.
Coaster Mysteries and Magic
01:00:51
Speaker
That's why it closed Asia. I think Asia vu on math.
01:00:56
Speaker
I think a lady had a brain aneurysm on there. Six point five. Six point five. Five. God damn. Shit. Yep, that's that's why it's not open anymore. I mean, imagine imagine going through that positive G's while also getting your head bang this like bang like shit.
01:01:20
Speaker
Like that's just so fucking intense. I know we all know G forces and how they work, but like just to think if you're 100 pounds, that means you're experiencing the weight of 650 pounds. Oh, is that what that means? Yeah. Yeah, I failed at math, so. And hopefully the hopefully the G's didn't cause like structural structural damage to the trains.
01:01:49
Speaker
Like maybe they were like, I don't know, one day away from a shockwave incident. Yeah, right. Kim era and fucking mind bender didn't happen to themselves only through time, you know. Right. Yeah, moonsault scramble look absolutely insane, especially that like weird pretzel not loop thingy.
01:02:14
Speaker
That is the pretzeliest pretzel that is ever pretzel pretty much looping. I mean, read some read some fucking anti and shit. Yeah, Mickey, you don't have no pretzel like that. I wonder if there's like I wonder if it's like an article about anyone who's written it. I'm just going to Google anyone to ride. Well, I know there's at least an article about someone who's written it. Oh, really?
01:02:45
Speaker
Well, that was a dark joke. OK. Oh, because the lady died on it. All right. Oh, but it wasn't written. So there's no evidence that anyone ever wrote it and lived to tell about it. Yeah, I just wonder what their experience was. Oh, my God. Tonight, on Unsolved Coaster Mysteries. Did we just come up with another TV pitch right here? This is a good YouTube.
01:03:15
Speaker
Unsolved coastal mysteries. Unsolved coastal mysteries. Who's going to play Robert Staff? Ten years ago on a night just like this. It is rumored that when Batman the Ride opened at Six Flags Great America, the crew sent the trains around on Iron Wolf.
01:03:47
Speaker
What really happened that day on Mindbender in Canada? I'm totally liking this idea, you guys. I feel like we should cut this. Y'all could do like a roller coaster on top of this. I like this. I think it's exciting. Sorry, Ben. Update. I read a thing. I read about somebody wrote it. Apparently it was really smooth. It just was extremely forceful.
01:04:01
Speaker
Ooh, ooh, mm, mm, mm.
01:04:14
Speaker
To the quote, I remember almost passing out and falling to the ground as I got off the ride. But I definitely did enjoy it. That's what matters.
01:04:30
Speaker
That's that's a Japanese-ass answer right there. And like the guy's avatar profile looks like a mixture of like the doge dog and Ellen DeGeneres. Ellen does generous.
01:04:57
Speaker
We're like Ellen degenerate. Am I right? Much abusive. So hateful. Wow. Apparently she's like a huge bitch, right? Yeah. Yeah. I could see it. Unfortunately. Yeah. Looking back out, like watching some of her shows, I'm like, totally. I knew I never trusted Dory.
01:05:24
Speaker
See like the end of Finding Nemo could have been like, she ends up like at the very end, just like killing Nemo or whatever the dad was. The point of the movie was to find Nemo, it doesn't mean it had a hand happy, you know. Dead or alive. You're coming with me. She leads him right to SeaWorld.
01:05:52
Speaker
So, John, what ride would you like to pay tribute to? Uh, uh, Grease Viper lightning wave from whichever park you like. So both Grease Lightnings, Viper, Tidal Wave, that whole Franken Grease Lightning. Yes. That whole Franken. Or not both Grease Lightnings, both Tidal Waves, Franken Grease Lightning and Viper.
01:06:22
Speaker
Right. We'll accept it. Accepted. I mean, shuttle loop, short scops, shuttle loops are fantastic. Agreed. I mean, I haven't met a short scuff. I don't like. Hey, Ben, we haven't done this for a long time, but it's a group setting and everyone's answering. So what ride do you want to pay tribute to?
01:06:56
Speaker
Um... I don't know. It's a hard one. Even though there's like a million. I'll say Desperado, because it looks like it's probably just gonna... It's never opening again. I think it's assumed dead. Well, I gotta ask you this. If it's assumed dead,
01:07:21
Speaker
Are we giving a point to everyone who predicted it in the coast or death pool? Well, then I have to require some deeper investigation. Well, I'll be honest, I did inquire about doing our wedding on Desperado. And they said no, they never got back to me.
01:07:52
Speaker
There's probably literally no one in that building. Yeah, it's not even on the it's not even on the site anymore. Desperado. None of the attractions they had were. So I think it's pretty much dead. It's really impressive. We drove past it on the way back from on the way to and back from Las Vegas. It's it's a super impressive structure. But yeah, I don't think it's ever going to write again. Personally, well, can we pay tribute to it, though, if it's not confirmed dead?
01:08:21
Speaker
I think you can. That's just me, though. Was everyone else like. I think either it has to die as a ride or. Fucking what's his name, who did that terrible, fucking horrible magic stunt on it has to die. What? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Lance Burton, even Copperfield. Oh, Lance Burton.
01:08:48
Speaker
Maybe it was David Copperfield. I remember one of those Vegas magicians did this stunt and I'm using air quotes to the point where my knuckles are cracking. It was Lance Burton, Lance Burton. OK, well, that's that's warranted. Yeah, he was very corny. Chained up to the roller coaster track and then they dispatched the roller coaster
01:09:14
Speaker
And it's him rocking around on the roller coaster track, undoing it just in time. And then, of course, right before the train is going to, you know, explode him into a thousand bloody pieces. He undoes the chain and jumps out of the way onto the platform.
01:09:37
Speaker
predictable it's like a really bad composite shot like it's obviously he's not there in the same shot as the coaster that's like when Chris Angel got himself blown up in a hotel and only to emerge you know clean from the rubble that's cuz he's biting the undertaker shit and has been for years
01:10:00
Speaker
If you watch the footage on YouTube, you can literally see his foot goes through the train as it comes by. So it's obviously not in the same shot. So bad. I kind of miss watching those magic specials. You know, there's this great one where they give away all the secrets.
01:10:24
Speaker
Masked Musician. Masked Musician. That was me jamming in our dad's like jam. We love that shit. I love that one too. They did another one where they gave away pro wrestling's greatest secrets. Wait, was it the Masked Musician? No, it was a bunch of indie wrestlers who needed a paycheck. It's a stunt granny. And I'll make a I'll make a startling confession to all of you that are listening.
01:10:53
Speaker
That made an eight year old Zach cry. But then the next night on Monday Night Raw, Mick Foley made a joke about it and I felt way better.
Coaster Community Quirks
01:11:06
Speaker
Because that same Disney and Vegas magic also exists in the world of pro wrestling.
01:11:16
Speaker
Wait, look, magic is magic regardless of where it comes from. If it's Mickey Mouse, if it's a fucking card game by Wizards of the Coast, it's all there. It's it's fucking magnets. How do they work? How about that? OK. So good. Did you say yours, your coaster? Yeah, what's yours, babe? Oh, Lordy, Lord, what are we going to shit? I thought they might, too.
01:11:46
Speaker
John, did you do yours? Yeah. Okay. Ian, you go ahead. Okay, so I have four. I'll be really quick. So I have to like contextualize. Three of mine are rights that are currently operating. They've just changed their... No, no, no. We're paying tribute to a dead ride. No, no, I didn't. But that was my question. Okay, fine. Wait, I'm sorry. I just got a...
01:12:15
Speaker
You're familiar with the bit, right? Or am I? I still asked a question that I think was slightly off of the bit. It was stuff that was like no longer. I didn't say it like it wasn't like operating or did I? It's been altered.
01:12:33
Speaker
is what she's applying. So all I'm saying is, so I'd say there's a lot of rides. I'm a big fan of on-ride music and when on-ride music changes, I get sad or when the on-ride music goes away, I get sad. So I've got three in which I'd love to see come back in their former states.
01:12:54
Speaker
That's X2, because as far as I know, X2 has no more music, no more of the theming. Like I said, California Screaming is now, I think, Incredicoaster, which I've not been on, but I liked it when it was the old California Screaming soundtrack with the Dave or Gary Huey surf guitar, and then Terminator. I know.
01:13:18
Speaker
Oh. Yeah. Magic Mountain. On the day the music died. I thought you were going to say. And they were singing. Bye bye Miss American Pie.
01:13:33
Speaker
Yeah, I think you're right. So yeah, so Terminator, Apocalypse, and Magic Mountain is still a great ride, but when they had the freaking, the queue on its own was amazing for Terminator, but the soundtrack was also absolutely amazing. I loved to see that back. I literally realized that I feel like the speakers have been pulled out of each of the trains, but I loved it. And yeah, Jamin, you had another good one. Space Mountain, two-fold. One is,
01:14:02
Speaker
the original Space Mountain in Paris to La Terra La Luna from the Earth to the Moon. And then number two, which a lot of people don't even know, is the original 1998 Space Mountain soundtrack. The first time after they reached, I think it was after they re-tracked, they did on-ride music. I feel like it was one of the, maybe one of the first ones to do on-ride music. It was Dick Dale did a version of Ghost Riders in the Sky.
01:14:28
Speaker
for Space Mountain. And I think it was Jim, and he can film the boys. But yeah, that's definitely one too. They didn't retract until the second soundtrack. Okay. Okay. Did they did they call it Ghost Riding the Sky or Aquarium of Animals? Because the tune is Aquarium of Animals. They didn't call it either. It was a mix of both.
01:14:49
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, it just like flavors from his ghost right in the sky. And then carnival, carnival, the animals, whatever you call it. That's one thing. And then I guess as far, I have one more, as far as like, right, that no longer exists is the box car racers. Yeah.
01:15:08
Speaker
I enjoyed that as a kid when I, you know, me and Jamin, you know, we were both born in Orange, California, Orange County area. And, um, you know, so we got to spend a lot of time at Disneyland and knots and the boxcar racers were awesome. And I only have vague memories because I would be wrong when they close, but I'd love to see that come back. Yeah, that was a fun one. I remember that vaguely, but I remember it. I was very young. Yeah. That's fun, right? Hmm.
01:15:39
Speaker
Good list. I know. You know, we were talking about different bits, Ryan, because oh, your bit is about ride soundtracks. Well, it should be, but no, but it was just about stuff that's like extinct. And in my opinion, space without the detail soundtrack is extinct. So. Oh, yeah, my background check just cleared.
01:16:09
Speaker
Oh, good. He's good to record. So I hope you guys are ready to hang around. For another three hours. Yep. Sick. It's a long form episode. Indeed. But anyway. Yeah. Box car racers. Wacky soapbox racers.
01:16:32
Speaker
Oh yeah, so Boxer, whatever they're called. Yeah, whatever they're called. Whatever Windjammer. Not Windjammer, exactly. Not the Windjammer, but yeah, exactly. Boxer was so bad. Whatever the original single rail coaster was. Yeah. Excuse me. That ride. Yeah, that ride.
01:17:02
Speaker
So last week, I think you guys had me give an unpopular coaster opinion because I was a new guy or the, you know, I was like, I was a guest. So I think, should we get one from Rhianne and Laura since they're new on the podcast or John too? I'm not sure if John's new. I've been on it podcast. Okay. Yeah. What's your, what's your unpopular coaster opinion? If you have one.
01:17:34
Speaker
I'm thinking, what was your- Laura has hers if you want her to go first. Well, yeah, Laura, go ahead. Mine was the Mystic Timbers, how I don't care for it. Sure, okay. Yeah, next.
01:17:50
Speaker
Okay. So my unpopular opinion is there's a ride that I refer to as the human pinball machine. Um, but I think it's highly underrated. It's known to most people as the green lantern. And I'm just going to say, if you didn't like it, it's because it was too awesome for you. You aren't cool enough. That's my opinion.
01:18:18
Speaker
If you don't like the heat, get out of the kitchen, right? Well, that has by far been rated by our guests as the worst roller coaster. So they all suck at what I'm saying. Yeah, it was crazy. Well, what I'm saying is that we'd rather hear a hot take than the same bullshit opinion just because
01:18:42
Speaker
I never rode that ride. But hearing 50 people say, no, that thing was shit. And the year one go, no, it was awesome. I'm way more interested in the one going, no, it was awesome. When the ride was done, I remember just thinking, what the fuck just happened? And to me, that's a good ride. It surprised me. I liked the drop. So obviously, there's like a ton of drops in it. And I felt like I was literally in a human pinball machine. I think that's awesome.
01:19:12
Speaker
It was a zipper on a track. Now I feel like I want to go to Montreal so I can ride it. I think they're going to retool the trains again because they modified them and made it worse somehow. So I think they're going to re modify the trains back to how they were before. So it'll probably be less bad.
01:19:38
Speaker
because the same model in Italy is not nearly as badly received. I can't remember the name of it, but it's the same model and everything. I think the trains were different for some reason. But yeah, I mean, if you go, if you ride it where it gets transferred to, moved to, you'll probably enjoy it more than I did. And most people did. Oh. I've heard, yeah, I've even heard that the one in Grawland is not,
01:20:07
Speaker
as bad, but I also heard that I think Magic Mountain like locked the seat rotation. Yeah, they modified. I think they modified the seat rotation and they added weight so it wouldn't spin as much or something like that. After the first time, it went down for a while, and I think that's why I mean, I think air time throws just a video on it, which is where I'm getting most of my information from. Not from the show list. Yeah, I was on one of his lists. I enjoy his videos. He does. He has good stuff.
01:20:42
Speaker
So it's unpopular coaster? What was the thing? Yeah, what's your unpopular coaster opinion? Like what's something that most people like about a coaster or something in the coaster community that you don't like, that you're like completely opposite of?
01:21:00
Speaker
Warning, this is Disney related. Can you? You're not even surprised. I know you're not, but I'd say the Space Mountain at Disney World at Magic Kingdom Park has got off.
01:21:15
Speaker
I, I, it's God awful. I'm sorry. I know it's the original blah, blah, blah. It's just not good no more. That, that dungeon of a queue is horrible and smelly. And I made the rice fun. It's, it's, it's okay, but
01:21:38
Speaker
That's probably my plan as far as Disney fans go and anybody who's interested in Disney coasters, like it's just not worth the wait. Sorry. I'd rather have like on-ride music and the fun of the one at Disneyland or Paris. So there you go. That's the closest thing to a hot take I have. I dig. Yeah.
01:22:11
Speaker
Space Mountain is garbage. Not all of the Space Mountains, baby. Fury 325 is awful. Is it really? Oh, yeah. Bet you didn't go. Really? Oh, no, it's it's fun. Oh, I mean, you just turn the pot. I just I don't know. There's fun statements.
01:22:42
Speaker
Our run is not a wooden coaster. It's a hybrid. Oh, you know what? I have another YouTube series idea hitting camera show where all you do is you wait in line for the beast and you just say a bunch of really incorrect coaster shit and you see how long someone how long it takes us for someone to correct you. Actually,
01:23:10
Speaker
And then you just wear those like spy glasses. This friend was built by rock and rollin' coasters. That's a big one at Disney Parks too. Just like spout like just bullshit Disney facts. You can see how long it's. Yeah, yeah.
01:23:29
Speaker
Cause like, think about it. You could do that at every theme, like if you did a bunch of theme parks in a year, that could just be like something you do at every theme park you go to and just like compare guests. I don't know. See Kings Island would be the worst or one of the worst. Okay. So I feel like Jane and I had somebody that was doing that in line.
01:23:56
Speaker
But they weren't filming a show. They were just stupid. And we sat there and made fun of them the whole time. Were there being intentionally bad? No, I don't think they were intentionally stupid. They were just saying things that were incorrect about the roller coaster. And we're like, no, that's not how that works. You'd have to be really over the top to just get somebody kind of triggered, just to the point where
Haunted Mansion Ride Opinions
01:24:24
Speaker
like. Yeah, right.
01:24:26
Speaker
Just share really hard negative opinions sucks so much. God damn. Did you? Yeah. I heard this right. Goes about 150 miles an hour off the first drop. Okay. I have another question. Wait, are we all done? I have another quick question. Do we miss anybody? Go ahead.
01:24:56
Speaker

Are you a Madame Leota or a hat box ghost? There's literally two, three, four, five, six, maybe seven scenes. What's everybody's favorite scene in the world? That's all I want to know. I don't know if I remember it that well. I like the ballroom.
01:26:02
Speaker
Yeah, Ben, as the host of a very popular Haunted Mansion podcast, when was the last time you rode that ride? Probably oh nine. It was probably oh nine. That's the last one I rode. Fair enough. So like. I remember that all the like silkscreen ghost shit was pretty cool. Like the ballroom area.
01:26:29
Speaker
The peppers ghosts. The peppers ghost effect. Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK. I do remember that. That was pretty cool. OK, OK. I like it. Zach. Yeah, that's OK. Yeah, that's the part I liked. I like the ballroom. I think that was a cool effect. I liked the bride and the addict before they changed her because she was crazy creepy, like really creepy because she had like
01:26:58
Speaker
She was like, yeah. She actually had the dark face, like the, the, the, the, the really bright eyes and the heartbeat that was super loud. And like, you see it like beating her chest. That was my creepiest slash favorite part of that ride. Okay. Okay. John. Man, it's been years since I've been to a Disney park. I have barely any memory. Good enough. Zach.
01:27:22
Speaker
Yeah, it's also been over 10 years since I've been to a Disney park. But I like the music. OK. My favorite part is Madame Leona. Yeah, she's awesome. Madame Leona is the best part. Calling the spirits wherever they're at. Exactly. Exactly. All right, I'm done. I know you're such an avid listener, but we actually have a bit on the show where we ask about the Haunted Mansion.
01:27:54
Speaker
What are you doing? Is that the question? Oh, anyway, for all of you who haven't been on in 10 years, you have to go back to Disney soon, as soon as it's good to go. And that was COVID and all. And I just have to point out for all the shit I'm giving you. You do have a shirt, so I have a shirt.
01:28:25
Speaker
Let the podcast load. Oh, yeah, I sure do. All right. You know I have a podcast, Ria. Did you know that? I have a podcast shirt and a podcast sweatshirt, OK? I'm hyping what y'all are doing. That was all the questions I had. There's no more burning questions.
01:28:58
Speaker
No, I'm good. You don't want to ask anything in particular about ride soundtracks or any particular Disney rides. I mean, I could, but I'm not. I mean, I have a question, but I'll, I'll refer you. Yes. Yes. Ben and I did meet through the group, the American haunted mansion enthusiasts. That wasn't my question.
01:29:29
Speaker
But I'm not going to ask it. Go on, baby. Oh, no. OK, actually, that was a lie. We met on our favorite forum back in the day. Haunted Mansion Review. Oh, OK. I didn't know about that one. Agent Mar. Yep. Do they have do they have an obnoxious administrator or founder of the site? Yes, his name was Walter Walter Elias Alvi.
01:30:02
Speaker
Real dick bag, but sounds like it on a mansion actually has one of those, but I won't go into that on this show. A dick bag. Yeah. Say what? Sure does. Is that in the ballroom scene? Because that would fit. I'm talking about it. Dick bag ballroom. Nope. Ballroom dick bag. I mean, I got it, baby. That's funny. Yeah, there is.
01:30:31
Speaker
There's one. There's a dick bag in the ballroom. Yeah, I guess he is in the bar. Yeah, there's a hana bag and dick bag. Interesting. Anyway, hana and dick bag. Well, that sounds like a. A whole nother story. Yeah, not for this podcast on this day, but maybe one day.
01:31:01
Speaker
Maybe next time you're on, your favorite ghost sucks. Your favorite Hana mentioned room seems sucks. Yeah, it does. No, we got to send you over to Kenny's podcast. The grim grinning hosts.
01:31:31
Speaker
We're gaming a podcast called the Grim Grinning Roasts, where you just roast each other with like automation puns the entire time. That works for me. That sounds hard, very hard. Yeah, I mean, I would say don't corner yourself too much, so that sounds perfect. Fair enough. The podcast based on Burns from the Haunted Mansion.
01:32:08
Speaker
All right, so we've been to the plugs, we've been to the tribute to the dead ride. Now it's time for us to do our annoying shit, right, Ben, or is there anything else we got to get to? Ben.

He realized that this wasn't his podcast because he thought his podcast was about roller coasters. He was like, oh, fuck, you went haunted mansion? Jesus. Sorry, my fault. Sorry.
01:33:02
