Speaker: welcome back to thrills chills and spills where we spill the tea on all things theme parks special events and especially spooky season and probably about being old i'm kelly i'm rafa i'm tyler i'm joey all right so we are back with another episode today as always we will start with our spills joey what do you have Oh, boy, I have two quick ones. um Last episode, we reported on the new RMC coming to Wallaby, Belgium, which is very exciting. um They did release POV of the first element. Check that out if you haven't seen it. um It looks weird, ah but it's basically just a dive loop. um But a new piece of news that was ah announced is Die Vampire Die. They are destroying the SLC. So we didn't know that before, but now it has been confirmed that that will be dismantled at the end of this season. So one less SLC in the world.
Speaker: So proud of them. Gotta go ride it. Yeah. you have I already have the cred. So i'm like, bye. good Maybe it'll get moved somewhere. Who knows? um And my other one is on Friday, i was ushering a comedy show at the Fox theater.
Speaker: um Usually i do the Broadway shows, but this was a like one night comedy show. There were two openers, which I know that sometimes people plan to be late for the openers and that's kind of whatever.
Speaker: But the openers were like the first 30 minutes and then the show started and people continued to to to arrive for the next 30 minutes of the actual performance. So up to an hour late, people were still arriving. I was like, are you kidding me? Like, that wasn't know yeah, as an usher, it's the worst because I have to sit there and wait for people to show up who don't know where they're going and then try to seat them. and I'm interrupting the show to do it. I hate it.
Speaker: So I'm just like, don't be late to the theater. Show up on time. Are you ever worried that like, well, I guess you've only done it once since you usually do Broadway. But what if the comedian is like trying to do crowd work? Like, hey, Usher, you keep interrupting my show. Why do you keep bringing people in? Oh, no. I did have a brief moment. So I don't know if you guys know who um Morgan J is, but he's like kind of blown up on TikTok and Instagram and stuff. He does a lot of crowd work. um And he does it with like this auto-tune microphone thing. yeah So before it started, he literally walked up my aisle and sat down with people like a couple seats like away from me. So he was in my section and I was like, oh God, what if they turn this camera on and I have to seat people when it's like happening? But luckily he moved somewhere else before that. So i was like, yeah.
Speaker: Close call. It really was. That would give me the worst anxiety. and yeah I had anxiety. I was like, please don't interact with me. If I go to any sort of show where they're going to interact with the audience, I am in the back, like slouching in my seat. Please do not notice me. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker: Let me tell you, that's the kind of confidence like I want one day, which I know I will never get to it. But to want to be, to actually want to be at the front of a comedy show. no but you don't want to be that person ever.
Speaker: but like But I'm saying like that's a different level of confidence right there. like I don't know how you would want to be like the center of their attention. and annoying An annoying level. Probably, yeah, know absolutely. But that's like crazy though. like I don't know, that that freaks me out. I would never want to be pointed out.
Speaker: and there are people that actually want to. it It happened to me once on a cruise ship. We weren't really thinking about the fact that we had sat in the front row, but it was me and my grandma and we got picked on as if we were a couple. Making jokes.
Speaker: This is terrible. ah grandma um Okay. Let's what else annoys us? Tyler. i hate when people take up seats at the pool with their stuff and then they are nowhere to be found.
Speaker: Yes. It's so obnoxious. I was at the King's Dominion wave pool. Just went for a couple hours, had nothing to do in the afternoon. It wasn't super busy, but it was very sunny. So, of course, all of the loungers underneath the big umbrellas were taken.
Speaker: So I found one that's like kind of half in the shade, but the sun's moving. So it's getting more sunnier. Meanwhile, beside me the entire time, there's two empty loungers with one backpack that's like in the middle of both of them, saving both of them.
Speaker: And after like two hours, i was like ready to just move it and take their spot. um But then they finally came back and they couldn't even find their backpack. Like they didn't even remember where they put it.
Speaker: And then they grabbed the backpack. The move would have been to put the backpack on the sunny one and take their nice one. Well, yeah, I wish I knew that before. But then they grabbed the backpack and left. They didn't even use the loungers.
Speaker: Oh, geez. I used it as a locker. Pretty much. yeah very much Yikes. yeah That's kind of a thing that happens on cruises too. People will go and claim a lounge and disappear for hours. yeah Like 7 a.m. and then they'll go get breakfast and then they'll get into their bathing suit and then maybe by 10 they'll be out there.
Speaker: People would do that when I used to go to like all inclusive resorts often, like in the Caribbean, like people would wake up, put their stuff out and then go back to the room and sleep and then get up and go to their stuff later. Like that's crazy at Disney. Like it's going to happen this coming week. I know it.
Speaker: Don't tempt me. I, I, I can do that. like i wake up early No, I won't because we don't like those kinds of people.
Speaker: um The only spell I have is that Dance Mom is back and I am in full force and it is never going to stop, basically. So this is recital week. So we have rehearsal. We have four different recital shows, literally ending hours before we get on a plane to go to Disney. I don't know why i do this to myself. And then Amelia has two weeks off and then she starts summer intensive for dance, which is pretty much like five or six days a week. um through the summer and then in ah August she has auditions for her new dances for next year she's already selected her solo for next year she of course wants to do more styles of dance so I'm a sucker and I just like let her do what she wants because the studio sent out they're like basically repricing and reframing their packages and there's like
Speaker: do what you did this year plus two dances for only the cost of, um, like the competition fees or the cost or only the competition fees. Like you get the costume paid for, you get all of the choreography paid for. It's like a whole complicated thing. But I was like, yes, that is money savings. I will do it. So it's like when I was stressed that competition was seven dances, now we're going to be doing nine. If she makes them all, who knows if she will.
Speaker: nice Yep, she's excited and I can't tell her not to try out for things because I feel bad limiting her. But anyways, Dance Mom Extraordinaire continues.
Speaker: That's my spell. See, I wasn't sure if you were, when you said Dance Mom's back, I was like, is that like the show? Like, are you talking about the show being back or something? It's her life. She is the dance mom.
Speaker: All right. Let's move on to thrills. We have a couple of park days and adventures to talk about. Mostly Rafa, you've been doing the most. Oh my gosh. I know. Who am I? Right. This is not. right How many credits have you gotten in the past month?
Speaker: Oh my God. Two. This was two, but there were two like long ones. um But yeah, we actually, during Memorial Day weekend, we actually had plans to go visit Shay's family over in Des Moines.
Speaker: um So we were like, let's, you know, let's cred run some of these parks since we're going to be over there anyway. We had never been. um So while her family went and flew into Des Moines, we decided to just go into Minneapolis.
Speaker: So we decided to start there. And we met up with Zach over there. He decided to join us. He was only going to join us for our Lost Island Day, but um he had like camping plans and I guess the weather wasn't looking too good. So he decided to meet up with us and drive an extra like five or six hours to get to us.
Speaker: Dedication, but he had never been to the, to the Minnesota park. So he got some creds out of it. But we went over to Valley fair on our first day. Cause we flew in late at night on that Thursday.
Speaker: no that Friday. So Saturday we went to Valley fair and we also met up with Chris and Marie, which we love such fun people. um They showed us around um and they actually brought a couple of friends as well.
Speaker: um They brought... I only remember AJ. AJ was the only name that I remember, which I've seen his name on Discord, and that's probably why I remember him. um so I met him for the first time, which I hope it was the first time. Fun little fact funny story here. Tyler, when it comes... And it is specifically with Tyler. And you probably don't even remember this, but I hate when I say nice to meet you to somebody and i actually have met them and I feel really bad and awkward afterwards. The first time, well, at least I thought the first time I met Tyler was in Knott's. That was my second stumble. And I guess that I had met Tyler, like I met him in Georgia, which was my actual first event.
Speaker: But then like you saw, you came to me, you said hi. And I was like, oh, nice to meet you. and you're like, we've met before. That's like one of those core memories, like embarrassing memories that have never escaped for me. I think remember that. Was it right by the entrance? Yes, it was the entrance. I remember every detail. It was at the entrance of knots. And it gives me... Drama.
Speaker: I cringe it so much just thinking about it. You gotta start saying, good to see you now, because that works either way. No, it absolutely has been that. But I just noticed I caught myself saying, nice to meet you to AJ this time. And I do think this was the first time that I actually did meet AJ. I don't think I've attended any events that he's been at, but I don't know. If it's not, I'm sure he's not even listening to this. But if you are listening, I am sorry. It was nice to see you then. He's come to, I know he was at our Valley Stumble event because he lives there. I feel like he came to one other thing, but I don't remember which one. Yeah, i can't remember. Okay, yeah so if that were the case, then I definitely didn't meet him because I didn't go to the Valley event. Um, but, but yeah, so we met up there at the park. Um, cred ran that park. It was a really like smooth day. were, were worried about the crowds because of the holiday weekend and it was Saturday of Memorial day weekend.
Speaker: but we got through everything pretty quickly. um my biggest highlight for sure was renegade. i love that thing. it is yeah so good. Um, It's ranked pretty high for me. I don't remember exactly where I have it, but I ranked it pretty high. Loved it.
Speaker: reminds me of Thunderhead a little bit. What was that? It reminds me of Thunderhead a little bit. See, i need to get on that. But yeah, yeah i i I loved it. It was so good. Excalibur was a fun one too.
Speaker: Felt very short, though, um but that was that was a fun one. But overall, I mean, the park was really nice. And they i know that they are one of the parks that are now part of Enchanted. And we had a slight hiccup with our passes because we do have the gold passes that we purchased last year for this year.
Speaker: And they they couldn't find us when they scanned our tickets. And then we went to guest services and they were like, oh, it shows that you haven't paid your pass. Because I do like the monthly payments or whatever. And I pay for both Shay and I's passes. It was like $7 each. It was like a $14 charge monthly.
Speaker: And they told me like, oh, well, it shows that you have been missing payments, but she hasn't been missing payments. Like her pass is good. But I was like, I pay for both of them and both of them are charged together. Like that makes no sense. So i explained that to them. They were all very nice, very kind. They were just like, don't even worry about it. We got all these changes. Just go ahead and just enter the park.
Speaker: So that was the only hiccup that we had with that. but But yeah, overall, I mean, the park was, I liked it. I enjoyed it. It was a good time. um Has a fun lineup. It's nothing incredible. I mean, besides Renegade, like everything else was fine for me. Like I had a good time.
Speaker: um What else? Did you like Wild Thing? It was fine. it was it was it was was fun. It was a fun one. Chris was telling me about how like he's like, I hate how everyone hates on it. like I feel so nostalgic about it. And I was like, I get that. I mean, you grew up with it. So I understand that. But um it was it was fine. like I didn't feel the need to rewrite it. i just wrote it one time.
Speaker: And that was it. Yeah. But let me see here. Cause I'm looking at, in case I forget one, steel venom, like a holding break. I, I hit my face against that restraint. I was i was completely yeah zoned out before the launch. And I was just like looking out and I don't know what I was staring at. i was just staring and my face was kind of out and I didn't hear when they were about to launch. And I just like hit my head right against the restraint.
Speaker: And then the holding break just felt so, awkward like why do people like it why i don't get it like it was not enjoyable like it's unique but it doesn't add anything it adds nothing like it adds nothing straight yeah It's like a very awkward pause and it's a very uncomfortable pause. like yeah Yeah, and imagine having boobs.
Speaker: Yeah, no, Shay hated it. She was like, I hate this. She's like I do not like that. i don't need to ever ride that ever again. um But yeah, no, it was that was an interesting experience. Didn't feel the need to rewrite that either.
Speaker: i think we only re-rode Renegade and Excalibur. Those were the only two that we re-rode. um But we got through the park, I think by three o'clock we were done. And then we headed over to Mall of America, which that's where all the crowds were. All of the families were there. It was yeah slammed.
Speaker: We got to ride everything one time. So at least we didn't miss out on anything. But the lines were so long. Like besides the Pepsi orange street coaster, like everything else was so long.
Speaker: um But yeah, I mean, you go out for him I did do it. And real good. Zach was raving about it. he was like, it is so good. We need to do it. And I was like, do you get wet, though? Like, I don't really feel like getting wet. And he's like, no, you don't get that wet.
Speaker: Of course, who gets the front seat? I do. And I get drenched. And I was like, Zach, You suck. Oh no. You suck. I was dredged. And like my, like I was wearing like, like athletic shorts. So that dried off pretty quickly, but my shirt wasn't like an athletic wear kind of shirt. So that was damp the entire day that I was there.
Speaker: um But yeah, it was, it was, it was fun though. It was a good, was very fun log flume. It was really cool. I enjoyed that. ah What else? um I think Avatar was my favorite of the coasters for sure. yeah that was a pretty fun I enjoyed that. That the first time I've ever ridden one of those.
Speaker: um Everything else hate everything there. That place sucks. It was it was fine. The coasters, yeah, they're they're fine. Yeah, it's it was it's just cool like going to a mall. like I've never experienced that. So that was a cool like experience. But i mean, it is kind of expensive like for what you get out of it.
Speaker: But I did do the is it the the Ninja Turtle one? Is it shell shock? that what it's called? Skyfly. Yeah. Yeah. I got three flips this time. so Hey.
Speaker: I got the of it. And then on top of that, I did, i got six at Lost Island, but we'll get into that in a second. But, but yeah, so that was pretty fun. ah we saw the girl, the queen spinner girl there, which Zach was like going crazy over, which was really funny. He was like fangirling over. He's like, Oh my God. He was like recording her from like a distance. And you just, you're like flipping like crazy.
Speaker: It was hilarious. was recording her from a distance. he was from a He's like, what the heck? Because we noticed, like we were looking at the ride like from... the other side the park. And we saw that like somebody was spinning like a lot. Like that has to be her. I was like, I don't know who else it would be. Like like that, that, that thing is going crazy over there. And you guys know who that is?
Speaker: Cause you're not really on Tik TOK. Okay. I thought that was just a Tik TOK. Yeah. Oh yeah. i into Instagram. It's, it's all over the place. Instagram. She's like everywhere now.
Speaker: But yeah, that was that was a funny moment. But yeah, so we enjoyed that. That was fine. I mean, we got all the creds. It was like a one and done. Like when it comes to each cred, we didn't really care to re-ride. Like I would have done Avatar again. um i enjoyed that. But the line for that is always ridiculous. So we were not going to wait for that.
Speaker: And then what else? Yeah. So then the next day we had to drive over to Des Moines. So on the way over, we decided to stop at Lost Island and we got through we got through everything really quickly. And I was like worried about it I was like, oh, my God, it's going to be like it's a holiday weekend. Nope. That doesn't matter.
Speaker: nobody's there. It is dead. And it's so sad because it's such a cute park. Yeah. Like it is so cute. Like the theming is so cute. The like the rides are solid. Like it's not like, I mean anything, you know, we're not talking about like anything universal level or anything, but I mean, it's a very like good little park that like in the middle of nowhere, honestly.
Speaker: But yeah, I enjoyed that highlights. Of course, the dark ride, the dark ride, has no business being that good. Like it is so good. and I kept thinking to myself, like, I don't know if it was maybe just the way that like the screens looked and like the animation looked and like the shooting style was like, I kept thinking like, this is what VillainCon should have been over at Universal instead of a moving walkway where you're standing there and just shooting at like different screens. Like this is what it should have been.
Speaker: Because this was like such a good shooter ride That was a lot of fun. VillainCon is so bad. What was that? VillainCon is so bad. it it like It's At first, I was like, okay, it's it's fine. And then like the more times that I get on it, the more that I'm like, this really sucks. like This is not good. And like I remember the first time that I did VillainCon, I went with my cousin and and her kid. And her kid was maybe like...
Speaker: four I think like four or five years old and he couldn't even pick up the guns because they're massive and they're too heavy for the kids so it just I don't know like it's not a great ride so this is basically what it should have been but whatever but uh what else the coasters were we didn't get to do the SLC that was closed the whole day which I'm kind annoyed by that because I don't, because I was like excited to ride it and then just come back in the future and not have to ride it. yeah But I do.
Speaker: So yeah, that was the only one that we didn't get while we were there. But Matsugani was really good. We rode that a bunch of times. I enjoyed that a lot. Of course, we did the Kitty Cred and then Fire Runner was a lot rougher than I expected. it was...
Speaker: Yeah, it was like very rough. Granted, when I say that it's very rough, I'm just saying that in this case, just because of it being new, would have expected this to be a smoother ride, but it felt really rough. No. Yeah. The boy is rough too. I know. These rafters. What other single rails have you done?
Speaker: Yeah, I was like, what the heck is going on? Like the front, like my first ride was in the front and that's where I felt it the most. In the back, maybe because the ejector is just ridiculous from the back. Like you're more distracted by that than like the roughness of the ride, I guess.
Speaker: So it was a little more, like I enjoyed it more in the back, but I didn't feel the need to rewrite it after that second time. I was like, yeah, I think I'm good. Like I kind of have a headache after this.
Speaker: um Which other single rails have you done? So I've done, okay so the first one that I did was Golden Lasso over at Fiesta. i did that one first that was opening year. So hearing everybody talk about how it hasn't aged well has been so like mind blowing to me because I just remember it off of that one experience opening year and it was like so smooth.
Speaker: So I wrote that one and then the, is it Flight of Courage over at Magic Mountain? Yeah. wrote that one as well. Those are the only two single rails that I've done.
Speaker: But yeah, this one definitely felt a lot rougher than the other two. Granted, I haven't done Fiestas since opening year. So I'm sure that's, i mean, i don't know how that is now, but yeah, this was definitely the roughest of the three that I've ridden.
Speaker: The theming was great though. It looks great with the area that it's located in. it fits perfectly there. Like I can't imagine, like as I was walking there, i was like i can't imagine like that not being there already. Like when the park opened. So if it fits perfectly in that spot.
Speaker: But, ah but yeah, so that was basically it for Lost Island. I mean, that was pretty, a pretty short day. We were done in like four hours and that was just because we re-rode Machu Ghani a bunch of times and we tried like the water ride not the Not the one in the back by Matugani, but the the battleship one.
Speaker: Yeah, we did that one and we rode the Ferris wheel and that was about it. But we had a lot of time to spare. We were done by like, I think we were there from like 10 to like 2, 2.30.
Speaker: two two thirty like yeah And it felt like we could have stayed longer and done things again, but like it would have just been repeating everything. a Yeah. Yeah. I'm really sad to hear that even three years in it's still just like, yeah. Like it's clearly the water park is keeping it afloat, but it's just a bummer.
Speaker: It sucks. Like, and it's such a cute park. Like to me, like it felt like, especially going into like the entrance, it felt very Epic like probably just cause there's no shade. But i kind of got that vibe walking into it. And I was like, yes like the theming looks really cute.
Speaker: Like, everything looks really good. And I feel like you have enough thrills for everybody at that park. Especially now with Fire Runner. Like, it wasn't my cup of tea. But I know that a lot of people are going to love that. um And then Matsugani is really good.
Speaker: But, um yeah, I don't know. It sucks. It sucks to see it that deserted. You would expect it to be busier. Especially on Memorial Day weekend. But nobody was there. I think there was, like...
Speaker: maybe about like 30 cars there. Yeah, that's a typical Lost Island experience, unfortunately. Yeah, maybe like 30 cars. And then like that was when we first got there too. Like later on, like by the time we left, and that was just four hours after, like you had maybe like a good 10 of those cars gone already.
Speaker: So yeah, nobody was there. but But we enjoyed it. I mean, selfishly, we loved it. It just sucks to see that that's like the norm yeah for that park. Yeah. because it deserves more, you know, more attendance.
Speaker: but But yeah, so after that, we um we drove over to visit the family over in Des Moines that evening. And then the next day we went to Adventureland. And I really enjoyed Adventureland.
Speaker: It was it was a fun time. I enjoyed, the like, the monster was my favorite for sure. Loved that thing. I didn't expect to love a Gerstlauer. like like that like i was like this is actually pretty good like and it was smooth the layout is really good um but yeah i mean i have no complaints about that one that one's really fun definitely the highlight of that part and i love where it's positioned it feels like huge like it's not as like it's not like that big but like where they have it placed makes it look so big
Speaker: yeah Like in the park, which I loved. Did you ride Dragon Slayer? Yes. that's like Did you ride the wild or the mild? Oh my God. I did the, I think I did the mild and it was still, and that was like, that was the mild. Like that felt like a lot. Like it was so much. I'm not a fan of spinners. I'm not a fan of spinners at all, but.
Speaker: Yeah. That thing fell. That was a lot. Not for me, but we did it. I don't want to ever ride the wilder side. That is not going to be for me.
Speaker: but But yeah, that was that that park was a little busier. So that one we waited probably like 35 minutes, almost 40 minutes for, which I would have never waited for, for a spinner, like ever. But we were like, forget it. We're here.
Speaker: um but yeah, we did that. We did what else is there? The underground, which is like spooky fire in the hole. Yeah, kind of. I was there. Really? Yeah. it's like it It was basically fire in the hole. That's how I felt like on there. it was it was cool, though. It was an interesting and interesting cred. it was ah i enjoyed it.
Speaker: But what else? Let me see if I'm missing anything else from that part. As far as the woodies go, tornado wasn't. anything special outlaw was fun i guess that was also closed for me they were wait so like was everything closed no just those two when i went oh okay was gonna say like what but yeah no that one outlaw was a fun one um I enjoyed that. ah But yeah, besides that, I mean, Monster was the highlight.
Speaker: It was the highlight of that park. But the whole time I was there, I kept thinking like, this feels like the perfect Buzz Bars park because they have so many drink options. They do. Yeah. They have so many drink options. be ten all like What was that? There's like a beer hall tent thing somewhere. i remember that last time I was there. There was that. There was like a whole like Corona margarita stand or something like that.
Speaker: Like there at every corner there was a drink stand, which I thought was great. So as far as drink selection goes and food selection goes, like this was definitely on the stronger side. um We had, what did I have when I was there? I had like a brisket mac and cheese, which was really good.
Speaker: And the portions were huge. That was great. But yeah, no, I mean, overall, I mean, that park was a good time. I enjoyed it. I think of the four parks, obviously Nick Universe was my least favorite just because it's Nick Universe. Like you're not really getting much out of that besides just the experience of it being inside of a mall.
Speaker: and And then I don't know. what how would I then probably... Yeah, Adventureland would come after that just because, like, it could use a couple of more things. But it's a solid park. Like, food and drink-wise, like, I think it's worth the visit.
Speaker: Like, just for that. And then Monster. So I think you're good with that. And then Lost Island and Valleyfair were, like, the top parks for me on that visit, which I enjoyed. i enjoyed all four of them, honestly. They were all a good time. And it helped with the FOMO of not being at canada Canada's Wonderland with you guys. so Yeah. It's also so nice to drive around out there. Yeah, it was different. It's so, it was so weird.
Speaker: Like, and funny thing is that we almost got like an electric car for the rental. And I'm so glad that I didn't get that. Just what jesus you stuck in the cornfield somewhere. Yeah. Like, I'm like, where am I going to plug this thing in?
Speaker: It was, yeah, that was, that that would have been ah a bad decision, but we ended up upgrading it to a regular gassed car. but But yeah, overall, I mean, it was an experience. It was a good time. Got to visit both, you know, both states for the first time.
Speaker: That was a lot of fun. And it was nice hanging with with a couple of Buzzbars peeps as well. So yeah no complaints, but it was it was a good time. Cool. Yeah. I will briefly um talk about my day at King's Dominion. and Last time I mentioned I ran the race there. um i was originally planning to like go shower and then come back and maybe like sit at the water park, but I saw people lining up to rope drop and I was like, ah maybe I'll just... go to the park sweaty and disgusting and then go back and shower. So um I did like kind of rope drop. There were definitely a lot of people ahead of me, but I was surprised. It seemed like a lot of people were there, but i walked literally straight on every ride I wanted to ride
Speaker: with like a station weight max. Like I went right over to Panthea I saw it was testing. I was maybe like the second or third train of that.
Speaker: I sat in the back. I sat in the back. This was after I had like literally died running this. street black out I was like, am I going to be OK back here? And I was doing everything I could like I was squeezing my butt like I was doing everything.
Speaker: I didn't see anything from like the end of the first drop until like the bunny hill, like adjacent to the drop like there's there's obviously stuff that happens in between there, but I didn't see any of it.
Speaker: I was very dehydrated. i don't think I went fully out because I was aware of the fact that I couldn't see. But that was like the most I've ever not seen on that ride. So that was kind of wild. And like I had no control of my body because I was just so exhausted that like it felt extra wild. I was just like all over the place. um But it was fun. And then.
Speaker: I went over to Raptero, which last year, the only reason I rode that was because we walked, we were like escorted to it as part of our event. Like I had only ever seen really long queues there and I walked literally right onto the ride. I sat in the back inside and it was very bouncy. Like not not like shaky B&M, it was like I was literally like bouncing in the back. was like, oh my Yeah. Um, and then i very leisurely walked over to Twisted Timbers, waited maybe two trains for that.
Speaker: Um, in like row nine, maybe. um it was very good. It was like definitely a hot day and it felt like it was a hot day just like for how fast it was moving so early in the morning. Um, I've had some like really poor rides on it in the past couple of years, but this one was decent.
Speaker: Um, and then I went over to Grazi, my favorite ride in that park. I'm not even kidding. And um it was so good. I rode towards the back. The people behind me were shook by the airtime. The guy's like, my butt was, I was falling out of the seat. what was guy Yeah. um And then i had had enough and went to Grain and Grow, which I've been to Grain and Grow at a lot of the other parks, but this was my first time at the King's Dominion one, I think.
Speaker: And I've loved it everywhere. And it was so bad this time, you guys like They were out of the chicken. They don't serve the shrimp anymore, which is what I always used to get the grilled shrimp. So I got like the pork and they scooped it out onto my plate and it was so burnt and dry, like black and dry. I was like, oh crap, maybe I can like go through it and find some good pieces. And then I got vegetables with it and The vegetables were so seasoned that it felt like I was eating like sand. Like there was like more dry, flaky seasoning than there was actual vegetables. So I literally took a few bites of my $24 meal with the discount and then threw it away.
Speaker: Oh boy. And then chicken and mac and cheese. That's what you got to do. And they read the mac and cheese this year. It's like super cheesy and baked. And it's got like that hard, like crust on it where it's just like a little burnt. It's so good. i had it the other day. It looked really good. The chicken is what I wanted, but they said it would 40 minutes to wait for chicken. Yeah.
Speaker: i like, are you killing the chicken salad back? Like, what are you doing? And then, and then i saw the mac and cheese and I got a little worried about my post-race stomach with dairy. So I didn't do it, but it was, it was not good. It was not good. And then I went to Tyler's house and ate two Uncrustables ah right out the freezer. I like owe you a box at this point.
Speaker: I think it's disgusting that you eat frozen Uncrustables. That is so gross. No, I'll eat an Uncrustable in any form, and I just don't have the patience to wait for it to completely thaw out. Like, I was starving at that point. I took a shower, came downstairs. By the way, Tyler's at work. I'm just, like, lounging in his house eating his food.
Speaker: so Yeah. Yeah. So on Crestables for the win. um And the KD day was good for the rides, bad for the food. um I was just surprised. It was a Saturday morning and I was there for like two hours and just nothing really had weights. So that was that was cool.
Speaker: It really doesn't get busy until like early afternoon. People are starting to come in for the water park and, you know, leaving their kids baseball games and stuff and going for the afternoon. So I think it probably peaks around like two or three.
Speaker: Yeah, I'm glad I stayed, even though I was on the struggle bus. um Rafa, tell us about your other trip. My gosh, I know this is so unlike me. What is this? You guys are never going to get this again.
Speaker: This has not happened often. But yeah, this past weekend, actually up until this morning, um i was NorCal. I flew into San Francisco and we checked out ah CGA and we checked out Discovery Kingdom and then also the Santa Cruz boardwalk.
Speaker: So those our three spots that we checked out. But the first day, you know, when we got there, we, ah you know, it was another late night flight. But the next day we went over to Discovery Kingdom and we were with Carl, which was nice. it was just nice hanging with him. I hadn't seen him in some time, so it was nice hanging with him. um But yeah, he was with us and we went to Discovery Kingdom and I was stuck with an electric car this time.
Speaker: And, It worked out just because gas is absolutely ridiculous over there. So i didn't, I mean, the only thing that was kind of annoying about the whole electric thing is that you have to just be on top of charging and it doesn't happen quickly. Like you have to wait some time for your car to be fully charged.
Speaker: that was the only thing that was kind of annoying, but I'll take it. it was it was It worked out either way. I'm sure there's more stations in California than there are in Iowa. so There were a lot. Yeah, for sure. For sure. So so i was I wasn't too worried about i'm like, okay, I guess I'll take the electric car this time.
Speaker: So yeah, so we did that. We went to Discovery Kingdom and it was fine. i mean, we enjoyed it. The park feels like... This is the only hack the only way I was able to describe it. It feels like...
Speaker: It's a collection of every other park's worst rides. Like it just, there's like every, like normally every ride that's in here, you would like talk crap about it. Like in every other park, like Batman, like the spinner, like we don't necessarily love those, but it's there. Then you have Superman. Like that's not one that I'm running to at another park as well. hate those rides. I hate those rides. They're at the bottom of my list. I didn't mind Superman, honestly.
Speaker: Really? up lap It only has the lap bars. Ever. them. i hate them Yeah, i'm not I'm not a fan of the Sky Rockets, but I mean, that one I was okay with. I was like, whatever about it. But I don't know, like everything just feels like the crappy rides from other parks. But definitely the the standout is Medusa.
Speaker: That was my favorite there for sure. But besides that, I mean, everything else was just fine. Shay, once again, miscounted her creds and her Was it 200? No, was her 250? Yeah.
Speaker: fifty yeah I only did that because I just put it in the newsletter. Okay, you saw it. you saw okay yeah so it was 2.50. We thought that she was going to milestone.
Speaker: like we thought that her first CGA cred the next day was going to be her milestone, but that wasn't the case. i ended up being Cobra, which was hilarious. like and I feel like that's just that's so her. so That was a great moment right there. and Then Carl milestone as well on Medusa.
Speaker: um He got 350, right? is so good. Dude, Medusa is so good. Like, and we wanted to rewrite it, but we didn't because it piled up because it closed for some, for a bit and it started to pile up there and we'd kind of want to start heading back. We were kind of like drained from the heat, but it was, we loved it. Just that one ride alone. Like we love the Medusa. That was a good time.
Speaker: um But yeah. Honestly, like the park is is fine. Like we got all the creds. We didn't feel the need to stay much longer. So we headed back and we met up with Scott, our favorite guy We hung out with him. He met up that night and he stayed at our hotel.
Speaker: And then we went to CGA the next day, which I really liked. I really like CGA. Like I don't get, is it Tom? Who's yeah. Tom's always hating on CGA and I don't get it. Like it is.
Speaker: It's just a bit Rafa. He's just has to keep his opinions the same. They're not. He's annoying though. Don't trust the drunk riders. No, no, no. Because like, I was like thinking about it. Like why? Cause I texted him. I'm like, want to CGA. And he was like, he's like, ew. like, what? I was like,
Speaker: I loved it there. but yeah know it was it's ah a really nice park and i feel bad that it's closing because it just it has potential and i feel like if it weren't for where it's located it would be it would still be there like it this wouldn't be going anywhere yeah but yeah i really enjoyed that park it's a really nice park it looks very well-maintained um The only thing I didn't like, the operations. The operations were atrocious. Oh, my God. They were so bad. um The most California thing ever. They're so slow. oh They're just like, yeah, bro, we're running a ride over here, I guess. Maybe once every five minutes. yeah know And the worst the worst for us was flight deck and... um
Speaker: The other B&M. What's it called again? Patriot. Yeah. Those two were awful. And we saved those for the, for like the last, you know, those, those were the last rides that we had there and we waited so long to get on them.
Speaker: And I hated both of them. No, I, okay. I didn't hate, I didn't hate flight deck. Flight deck was fine. Flight deck was fine. It felt too short, but it was fine. I guess Patriot gave me the worst headache. I hated that thing. That's not great. So much.
Speaker: But yeah, wasn't a fan of that. But Railblazer was a great time. That was probably the best like single rail that I've done. i enjoyed that a lot. um that was a pretty That felt pretty smooth compared to the others.
Speaker: But yeah, I really enjoyed that. then Gold Striker was awesome. I love Gold Striker. Gold Striker's so good. It's so good. Like I was so excited to get on it.
Speaker: And that was the one that we thought was going be Shay's 250th, but no, that didn't work out, but we loved it. It was so good. That was the only one that we repeated. I think we did that one twice. Yeah. Cause it did pick up like it did like the crowds did pick up later on. So we didn't stay for too long, but But yeah, I mean, all in all, I mean, the park is really neat.
Speaker: We, like you know, I really enjoyed it. Like I was sad walking through it because I'm like, this kind of sucks that it's leaving because I don't think it deserves to leave. Like y'all can take Discovery Kingdom first, like not this one. Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah, it it it sucks. But I mean, it it was I'm glad I was able to visit it. I don't think I'll be visiting before it closes down. So it was a nice experience. And I'm glad that it was A solid day overall. um You know, we didn't have many complaints besides the operations. The park was a smooth park day.
Speaker: um You said flight deck was fine? Flight deck was fine. is there like another word for it we could use? Oh my God. That's that's your word VNM inverts. Okay. I like VNM inverts, but this was mid, I guess. I'll say it. I'll say it. It was mid. it truly was.
Speaker: It was not like, it was like, it felt like it needed to be longer, but it was whatever. I enjoyed it. Patriot was the only one that i truly hated at that park.
Speaker: Everything else was fine. I'm looking through everything. Everything was like demon was fine. fine um yeah it was whatever like the lucy's crabby cabbies a wild little kitty cred i'm not gonna lie we i got a bruise from it like i was like what the heck like that look at my don't play they don't play they don't play that thing was said we're gonna try to throw these kids out the train For real, like I got like I got a bruise and a scratch like that I got from like the little like um like the covering on the restraint. I guess it slid like side to side and like the end of it cut my leg. And i'm like what the hell?
Speaker: Like this thing's hardcore. But no, that was that was the a surprise for us. But yeah, besides that. No complaints about the park besides the operations. It was a nice park.
Speaker: Looks very nice. And you could just tell that it's strictly because of the location that it's leaving, um which is a bummer. But yeah, so we went there. And then on our last day yesterday, we went to the Santa Cruz boardwalk, which was a quick visit, but it was cute. It was really nice. Love anything that's close to the beach.
Speaker: We got there pretty early, so we hung out by the water while we waited. And i didn't think we were going to hang by the water, like actually go to the sand. And I did. And I was wearing sweatpants.
Speaker: And everybody was like, let's go like put our feet in the water. Okay, cool. So we go over there and this huge wave completely soaked my thick ass sweatpants and I got so pissed. i'm like Oh my God. I was like, thank God my flight is at 10 o'clock tonight. Like I still have all day to let this dry because everything was like vacuum sealed in my freaking backpack.
Speaker: I'm not about to open anything. So whatever. i mean, i was kind of pissy at the beginning because I was like, I'm soaked and I'm cold because it's kind of cold here. It was really windy, but whatever. It was it was a fun time. It was really nice there.
Speaker: But yeah, we did. Did the drive over there surprise you at all? ah Yeah, it was like... I, I, I'm not used to that. I was kind of like scared at times. I'm like, I'm yeah scary. Like I'm not used it. You're like going straight through the middle of the mountains, basically. yeah i was There were moments where like, cause I'm not used to that. I'm a Florida guy. I'm used to the flat roads. Like I'm not going down hills like that. Like, or mountains. Come on. Like what the hell? Like out of nowhere, I feel the car picking up speed and I'm like oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my god my God. Everybody was passing me. Everybody was passing me. Like,
Speaker: I was like, go ahead. You guys go kill yourselves. I'm not doing that. I'm terrified. I'm driving like two hands over here. Like I was, yeah, I was going through it for a second, but the way back, I guess, because I was already, i already went through it the first time. It wasn't so bad on the way back, but yeah, very beautiful drive though. Like,
Speaker: Very nice to look at. We enjoyed that a lot. ah But yeah, but Santa Cruz Boardwalk was fun. We did the three creds there, which were which were fun. i' Giant Dipper, Carl, and Shay loved it.
Speaker: I didn't. but i What's wrong with you? I'm not the biggest Woody guy. i mean okay like i do like Woody's, but i don't know. This one, like okay, I will say it was it's impressive like how it runs for how old it is.
Speaker: So I do appreciate it. It's just not my cup of tea, but I i appreciate it I can say that. Like, I don't think it was bad. just wasn't for me. But yeah, that was really neat.
Speaker: I enjoyed that. um But yeah, besides that, we spent the rest of the day just hanging. and had In-N-Out, of course. We had to have that before leaving.
Speaker: And we made a quick stop at the the Golden Gate Bridge, which we didn't think we were going to be able to squeeze in, but we did. And, oh, actually, before the bridge, we stopped at this museum that Shay wanted to check out. It was the Winchester Museum.
Speaker: but She wanted to check that out, which, like It's like, ah you guys know the story, the Winchester story, right? Like this, the lady was like, was she paranoid or something about, i was so checked out because I was so exhausted at this point. So I didn't really listen too much during the tour, but like, she like built like a bunch of rooms, like in this one small farmhouse that she had. And it just grew into something that had like hundreds of rooms.
Speaker: ah But yeah, that was, and there's like paranormal sightings. I remember you were being on the channel growing up. I remember seeing it on the Travel Channel growing up. It was on one of like those spookiest places in America or whatever.
Speaker: Yeah. so we were we did So we did the regular tour and then they also had like a basement and attic tour, which was like a hard hat thing, which we did that. And um that was pretty funny because they were like, here, take. They were like, okay, okay. First off, I think the people that work here are purposely trying to scare you. Because they're in these little like old school maid looking outfits. And like it's like they'll hear you like entering a room and they'll be like in the next room over and they're like, okay, this will be like the perfect opportunity to like not jump scare at them like and you know try to like actually get a scare out of you, but like just walk by out of nowhere just to give you like a spook.
Speaker: This happened so many times. And I was like, you guys are really trying me right now. like but You guys know me. i like I'm the worst with jump scares. And these people were just a walking by out of nowhere. I'm like giving Tower of Terror cast members. No, 100%. 100%. Love.
Speaker: Yeah, no. It was it was it was cool, though. i mean, like I'm not a big like museum guy myself. like That's Shay's thing. So that was, you know, she looked into this and she definitely wanted to check it out.
Speaker: But the basement tour, before you get in, you you know, once you enter the main area where you I guess it's like a back entrance to the house and then takes you to the basement and attic entrances.
Speaker: And they give you like a little lollipop and they're like, here, take this lollipop. And then you're going to put the lollipop upside down on your hand. And then like, if you try to talk to like a ghost or something, it'll budge or something like that. i'm like, Oh, okay. I was like, this is weird.
Speaker: But cool, I guess we'll do it. So we had our lollipops and we were just like saying ridiculous stuff like the entire time. Like we're like, oh, like do you want a lollipop or some shit like something ridiculous. And nothing would happen, of course.
Speaker: But then they also had their little like paranormal things, like ah you know, little like metal sticks that like go like that. We had that. They had a little like what is it like a little detector with the lights and the beeping?
Speaker: We had that as well. We There were a bunch of red moments, but I don't know. I don't know. Maybe. pattern I don't know. I don't know how I feel about stuff like that because I'm like, i don't know if you guys are just messing with us or this is real shit, but I dont want to mess with real shit. So that's okay.
Speaker: but But yeah, that was a pretty neat little experience. That was like a an hour and a half long tour. And then when you add that the basement and attic tour that adds like an extra 30 minutes. So it was like about two hours there.
Speaker: And then we made our way over to the Golden Gate Bridge, took our quick pics and then we left because we had a flight to catch. So. Yeah, all in all, it was a nice visit. um I really enjoyed it. The weather was perfect.
Speaker: Like it was like cool in the mornings and evenings, like 50s. and then the afternoons were like in the 80s or like high 70s. But for us, it's nothing because we feel that plus humidity over there. It doesn't feel that bad at all. So overall, I mean, it was a really fun trip and it was nice hanging with Carl and then seeing Scott for a bit as well. It was a good time.
Speaker: fun i'm glad you got to go out there before cga is gone yeah i'm i'm glad i'm i'm glad i got to see it like it sucks that it's leaving because it it has like it has things going for it especially when you have like gold striker in there and like royal blazer you know like and it's just a nice park like it looks really nice so it just sucks that that's not going to be there but whatever i'm glad i got to visit it before before it's gone Yeah.
Speaker: Anybody else go anywhere? i don't think so. We have a lot coming up though. Yeah. This is my episode. The next one's going be for you guys. That's for sure.
Speaker: All right. So we'll move on to chills. um Unfortunately, nothing else has come from Universal, pretty much. um There's been some like, like lighting, you know, trusses.
Speaker: i saw some pictures of that going up in Orlando. There's been some Merdy tweets from Hollywood. um But otherwise, ah Back on Memorial Day, we did get a version four of the spec maps for both locations. Very little has changed. So we'll just blow through this super quick and see some locations have changed. So maybe we could see if the code names make any better sense now that we're getting closer to probably confirmation time soon, hopefully. i mean, we pretty much got to find out this month what what else is going on.
Speaker: Maybe it'll be tomorrow. Probably tomorrow. after not Hopefully. Yeah. um Just for all of you that are listening, we probably recorded this like a week ago. So if things have happened since then, we will cover it when we get back from our trips.
Speaker: Um, okay. So starting with the houses 22 is, um, odd fellow, Jack and odd fellow chaos and control. That house has already been announced and that's been in that same location for a while. That's where Artista was.
Speaker: i think that's a good location for their kind of like signature house to be. You guys have any thoughts about that? Codename is balloon. It's always kind of made sense that it was balloon. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker: 23A, which is where WWE was. Codename is car. And we still have the burning book there that we presume is evil dead burn or something like that, which I guess I need to add to my homework list. Maybe I'll wait till announced, but I don't know what car has to do with that.
Speaker: Yeah. i is I know that there were, I don't remember, but like, I think, Evil Dead Rise was the last one. And there was like a car scene, I think. There was like a car scene, like a death scene. The internet says or a car seat headrest impalement is involved.
Speaker: Oh, wait, there was that. Yeah, in the trailer for the new one, actually. So that could be it. Yeah, that could be it, actually. Mm-hmm. 23B, which is where Five Nights was. the code name for this is Bus. and now we have the um upside down clock there that we think is Stranger Things. So that has moved a couple of locations over in the sound stages. That makes sense, though. That building had a huge queue and Stranger Things gets a huge queue. Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah. Plus the only thing I could think of is like this last season featured like the school children a lot like calling her. Yeah. Yeah. I could see that. Yeah. 24 which they did not use last year. This is where Insidious was two years ago. Codename is chariot.
Speaker: And this is where we now have the rocker hands that is rumored to be an Ozzy Osbourne house. Yeah. Not sure what chariot has to do with Ozzy, but sure there's something in his music or his vibe. 24B, this is where Grave of Flesh was. The codename is Train and the picture is um the same
Speaker: Oh no, this changed. Okay. So this last version is where we had like the makeup and the biohazard symbol. Now where this is where the animal symbols are. um So this has moved from a tent to the soundstage area. It's a paw print on a cage with like a human inside and an animal on the outside. And we kind of talked about like animals, torturing humans, that kind of house and animal original Um, and we like, I'm pretty excited about that. Like, cause I had said, I think in another episode that I, I think their costuming for animals has always been really well done. Like i always think of like jungle of doom, the scare zone. Yeah. and I just think it could be a really cool concept. I kind of liked the thought of it in a tent a little bit more than a soundstage. Cause I just like enjoy tent houses more. I feel like the claustrophobic nature of them, but I think this has potential.
Speaker: Don't know what it has to do with a train, but. Circus train? i don't know. Circus animals? i don't know. Isn't that thing? There was train circus. Like the the circus would come into the town on a train. I don't know Yeah. Yeah. Maybe.
Speaker: In Fast and Furious, um we have still these bloody intestines that I guess is blood and guts. I don't know. We don't know. Yeah. so Everybody seems to be pointing that. Everybody seems to be thinking that's going to be that. Their best guess.
Speaker: Yeah. Codename is Helicopter. i don't know the story very well, so I don't think I could tie it together. but I can't think of anything I tie with that. But then again, I don't know the story that well. Yeah.
Speaker: um Over in the new tents in tent three, um we have the hearse is the code name, and this is where they have the sinners located right now, the sinners house, which has been announced.
Speaker: Yeah. Yeah, i don't I don't know how... I mean, Hearst could be literally anything, anywhere. um What's interesting, and we talked about this last time, is they, in tent four, right next to it, have the pincushion symbol, which we're thinking is for Hellraiser. So that would be two IPs in those tents, which is an interesting idea. That codename is Tractor for the potential Hellraiser.
Speaker: i feel like Tractor made more sense for Sinners, so maybe those are... Yeah, but yeah. Who knows? We'll find out eventually. and then over in the original tents, tent one, um where Hatchet and Chains was, the codename is Shuttle. And we still have the alien in the cowboy hat there.
Speaker: and then in tent where Dolls was, um codename is Wagon. And this is now where we have the like lipstick makeup. And now there's like a DNA strand with it. So maybe some like experimental body horror type thing.
Speaker: is going there in the tent, which should be cool. Hopefully ah better than dolls. We can all agree.
Speaker: The shows ah we still have where Nightmare Fuel used to be the four boxes that are probably spelling Jack, some sort of Jack show. And then we have the Fountain Lagoon show.
Speaker: And then we have our scare zones. In zone we have a circus tent, which makes sense because that's where the house for Jack and Oddfellow is going to be. Back in New York, we have clown symbol, which I had heard a rumor that maybe they're going to bring out like all of HHN's clowns ever, like all of the clowns they've had, including like, don't know, including like last year, even like having Tara, like Art the Clown roaming around again, having like just various IP and original clowns, which I think would be cool. That would be fun idea. I like that idea.
Speaker: hu e And then over. um This looks like it's moved a little forward from truly Central Park where Cat Lady was. It's almost like ahead of it, like closer to Mel's, which it really feels like they're jamming it in. Like if you look at the picture, I don't know if I'm making it up, but it almost feels like that's not quite Central Park.
Speaker: Yeah, looks like where the banana is. Yeah, it's like off to the side a little bit. Yeah, it's weird. Like Central Park is like closer to where up against the orange where they have like the chainsaw.
Speaker: But I don't know. Maybe it's just pushed forward a little bit. Probably. Yeah. um I really hope this stupid banana doesn't mean Fortnite, but everybody thinks it does. Yeah, I hope not. I don't know.
Speaker: I think they're just overly speculating, but we'll see. Yeah, I don't know. I really don't think that doesn't feel like a fit to me. But yeah, but then again, like I keep going back to like, how well Five Nights did last year. like they're they're trying to get those teens to like, take over again. and sure are.
Speaker: And then in Hollywood, we have a scare zone. This used to just say 35 years, but now the 35 years is under the circus tent of the like first zone. Now it's like a clock with a flame on top of it.
Speaker: I don't know what that is. That's like the only new symbol on this whole map. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, it could be symbolizing still like time and yeah previous events. We don't really Yeah. I don't, I'm not sure what the fire has to do with it. That's what's throwing me off.
Speaker: Yeah. Maybe like a burn down something from the past. I don't know. Maybe nightmare fuel, the scare zone. That'd be sick. That would be fun.
Speaker: It's kind of circusy. Yeah, it would. It would tie in. I think. Yeah. That'd be fun. I hope whatever show they have back there still has like good music and the same kind of vibe. I'm a little nervous about that because I just like loved that as a reprieve from standing in lines.
Speaker: Yeah. Anyways, I know that wasn't super exciting because there wasn't very much new, but that's all we have. Soon we will have more. Hopefully. Yeah. We do have a couple of questions related to HHN. Fitz asked if the Aussie house gets dropped due to Sharon being too difficult to work with, what is a good replacement that can be pulled together this late?
Speaker: I don't know if that's like a legit thing that people are talking about, but I'll tell you what it shouldn't be Triplets of Terror.
Speaker: What? It was in that location and that was rumored to be like thrown together at the end. And I didn't like it. I mean, I feel like there's plenty of like rocker type things they could go with. like Yeah. they did They could do one of the Slaughter Cinema ones. They had that rocker one.
Speaker: Yeah. Yeah. and a Generic hard rock type of. Yeah. Yeah. Thanks for your question. um Brent asked what would make a great back rooms? HHN house. Do you think we'll get one?
Speaker: Brent, my guy, we don't know what you're asking or what you're talking about. We discussed this before we started recording. We know this back rooms movie just came out. Like, are you asking what kind of setting would make a a similar kind of vibe or.
Speaker: I don't know what you're asking, but we have talked in the past about there being more of like an a participation type like house where you have to like make decisions, go different ways, escape room type.
Speaker: stuff which kind of seems like it's maybe that vibe do you guys have any other thoughts sorry i watch movie i have brent i am going to watch this movie soon so maybe i'll have an answer to that next time but for right now i have no idea what to think out of this question rephrase it and then rafa can answer it next up yeah yeah rephrase yeah ask us or yeah tell us what you mean ah I think that concludes today's episode, unless anybody else has any other thoughts.
Speaker: No. I think we're good. think we got everything. Awesome. um In the coming weeks, we will have, like I said, lots of thrills. We'll have some Disney World. We'll have some European adventures. We'll have lots of HHN updates. So stay tuned and hang hang in there with us. We will be back.
Speaker: um As always, follow us on your um podcast platform of choice and on socials, thrills, chills and spills on Instagram. um And thanks for listening this week. Stay spooky. Bye.
Speaker: That's tea, actually.
