I'm Ben and I have something slightly less interesting to talk about this episode.
00:00:57
urfavoritecoastersux
I mean, look, you normally have the interesting stuff. I'm normally in the role of speculative asshole, so.
00:01:13

00:01:21

Podcast Anniversary and Reflections
00:02:49
beb
Friendship through ah through a friendship through a wire through the Internet.
00:02:49
urfavoritecoastersux
ah
00:02:56
urfavoritecoastersux
It is, and can you believe, Ben, we are less than a one month as of the date of recording to today from our fifth anniversary of doing this show.
00:03:10
beb
That's pretty wild.
00:03:13
urfavoritecoastersux
That's insane.
00:03:14
beb
Because at the time I couldn't think about five years in the future and now here it is in my face.
00:03:23
urfavoritecoastersux
And neither could I.
00:03:27
urfavoritecoastersux
It's been a...
00:03:30
urfavoritecoastersux
I could not have predicted this by any stretch.
00:03:37
beb
Even though, so whats what's funny is ah I was driving, so last night I did a like a night hike because the moon was pretty big and bright and foolish.
00:03:37
urfavoritecoastersux
So...
00:03:49
beb
um So there's a stretch there' was a stretch though that I didn't have any service.
00:03:49
urfavoritecoastersux
Nice.
00:03:54
beb
um And I was driving alone and it was dark, so I had to put something on. And on my phone, I only had like three episodes downloaded of podcasts. Um, two of them I already listened to recently.
00:04:06
beb
And then for some reason I had an episode downloaded from like years ago of the time we commentated on a coaster expedition volume one for some reason.
00:04:18
urfavoritecoastersux
Oh wow!
00:04:20
beb
So I actually listened to that. Um, and it was interesting to hear like. I don't know. It's always weird to hear yourself talk, but then like to hit listen to a whole episode and then years pass. It's just, it was just really interesting. Um, plus like, I mean, it was just funny. Like what we were talking about about the commentary was actually pretty funny.
00:04:46
urfavoritecoastersux
We're good. I'm glad that what we've done is actually, um, you know, contributing in some entertainment fashion.
Ben's Move to San Francisco
00:05:02
urfavoritecoastersux
Cause I just make fart jokes. So, you know, if there's any.
00:05:08
beb
But there were some good ones. I laughed at jokes. I laughed at jokes both of us made and there were some good ones. so
00:05:16
urfavoritecoastersux
I'm going to have to do that.
00:05:19
urfavoritecoastersux
um Check out one of our old episodes and just see. You know, I don't know, it's been a while and. If for some reason, like. You caught up with all the old ones and you're new here. I'm sure it sounds very different now.
00:05:43
beb
Mm hmm. Yeah, the one thing I noticed was like. We were definitely way more fucked up and even less, I think like in the beginning, there was so little filter. Because it was so new. um I don't know, it was just it was just pretty funny to listen to. It was actually it was like kind of creepy.
00:06:07
beb
Like listening to yourself in long form content of things you did years ago is is just like a very surreal exercise.
00:06:18
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, I feel like I couldn't do it on like one time speed. It'd have to be like at least one and a half.
00:06:29
beb
Yeah.
00:06:33
urfavoritecoastersux
Just to try and make it less like, oh, that's me.
00:06:43
beb
Well, the, um, the other one, I mean, remember the first episode we did with Slater?
00:06:52
urfavoritecoastersux
oh yeah yeah the early ones with guests yep although shit we're five years in now or just about to be so we can say it I'm pretty sure we've still never gone longer than six weeks without an upload
00:06:54
beb
Yeah. Yeah. Those ones with guests are pretty wild too. In the early days.
00:07:24
beb
Yeah, that sounds about right.
00:07:27
urfavoritecoastersux
pour one out for our homies that ride this one yeah I mean I can definitely squeeze in a time next week
00:07:28
beb
And I mean, yeah, and I mean, I think we'll probably have a little bit of a break in the next couple of weeks, just with everything going on.
00:07:49
beb
Okay, cool.
Cultural Insights of San Francisco
00:07:53
urfavoritecoastersux
Uh, the following week might be difficult and the week after that might also be difficult.
00:07:55
beb
yeah and um
00:08:00
urfavoritecoastersux
Sorry guys, I'm in the middle of moving across the country. As of recording, I am a week and a half out from move date, moving from the big city in the Midwest to, um, a not as big city on the West coast.
00:08:22
urfavoritecoastersux
It's San Francisco.
00:08:23
beb
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's pretty fucking exciting.
00:08:26
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, I'm stoked as fuck. I'm going to lose weight just by virtue of walking on the hills.
00:08:38
urfavoritecoastersux
The food's really good there, but it's also expensive.
00:08:39
beb
Yeah, the... um Yeah.
00:08:41
urfavoritecoastersux
So it's like you share plates and you got to walk up hills.
00:08:49
urfavoritecoastersux
It works out really nice.
00:08:50
beb
Yeah, West Coast food is pr... Yeah, West Coast food is a little nuts. That was... um
00:08:57
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, dude, the food game in fucking San Francisco is out of this world. We found a fully vegan McDonald's.
00:09:08
beb
Oh nice.
00:09:08
urfavoritecoastersux
And it was like one to one. Called Mr. Charlie's in Union Square, San Francisco. That was so cool. We ended up eating there like three times.
00:09:22
beb
I think I know. youre You know, it's funny. A friend of mine just sent a photo of so there is Dory Alley going on or one of those like gay outside street festival things going on. And he sent me a photo of this like young gay guy wearing nothing but a jockstrap standing at the counter ordering food. And I think it was that place.
00:09:48
urfavoritecoastersux
I definitely we walked through the Castro and there was definitely three dudes fully naked just standing there it was two of them kind of together and then one of them like another block up I thought they were maybe some sort of like security force well
00:09:57
beb
Yeah. Yeah, it sounds about right.
00:10:12
urfavoritecoastersux
cuz like who's gonna mess with a naked guy
00:10:16
beb
Yeah, that's true. That is true. Yeah. I mean, I've, um, those street fairs are like, like, you know, like in a humorous way, like, you know how like Fox news and you know, the right wing right now is, is kind of in this like culture war against pride month and pride parades and all that stuff.
00:10:23
urfavoritecoastersux
that that's
00:10:44
beb
Like the one exception to where they are right.
00:10:45
urfavoritecoastersux
That's Yeah, the way Jesus intended kidding
00:10:51
beb
I mean, the one place where they are right is with some of those events in San Francisco, where it is literally naked people in public having sex, just like ah God intended.
00:11:04
urfavoritecoastersux
I didn't see any of that just naked people which for the record I think is absolutely fine I have no it's a human body what the fuck is wrong with that
00:11:15
beb
Yeah. Well, it's the thing is there is it's like everyone
00:11:22
beb
Well, also too in San Francisco, you're on, if you move there, like you're on board, like it's not like, you know what I mean? They always like, in all these like stories where they like show a ah two second clip from like a San Francisco pride parade. And it's like, Oh, so imagine your kids just walking to school and seeing this. And it's like,
00:11:46
beb
This isn't happening in like what? Schomburg, Illinois on a Monday at 10 a.m.
00:11:50
urfavoritecoastersux
That shit was... Yeah, that shit was also on a Saturday. Yeah, that shit was on a Saturday.
00:11:56
beb
Right.
00:11:59
beb
Not to mention, like if you if you're like a parent with a child, like you kind of know what's going on in your own neighborhood and like, you know, you know what's going on, you know, you're you live there.
00:12:10
beb
Nothing is a shocker. It's not like, you know,
00:12:12
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, and you just don't take a kid if you don't want them exposed to that.
00:12:17
beb
Right.
00:12:18
urfavoritecoastersux
That happens in one neighborhood one day.
00:12:18
beb
It's not like because that.
00:12:22
beb
Yeah, it's not like that. It's not like it's not like there's a slippery slope of like, hey, we should like, you know, come up with some legal protections for LGBTQ plus people.
00:12:35
beb
And then I'll suddenly you're just, you know. 10 a.m. on a Monday, they're suddenly just a parade float of naked men dancing and harnesses the.
00:12:47
beb
It's a pretty far stretch.
00:12:51
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, and also I think just Americans need to be less fucking prude and uptight about nudity.
00:13:00
beb
Oh, for sure.
00:13:03
urfavoritecoastersux
It's human, but like if you're less comfortable with your kids seeing a human body and I'm not saying sexualizing anything, just a human body, then you are with a kid seeing fucking Rambo being played on TNT in the afternoon.
00:13:20
beb
Yeah, right.
00:13:20
urfavoritecoastersux
that's a problem right
00:13:26
beb
It's like I think my I think my 10 year old should have a semi assault rifle, but God forbid he sees, you know, human body.
00:13:38
urfavoritecoastersux
god forbid there's a shampoo commercial that shows titty for some reason you know what i'm saying like
00:13:50
urfavoritecoastersux
I'm just saying if they were allowed to, you know, they would be like, damn, I really need head.
00:13:54
beb
Oh, yeah. Then make shampoo commercials more interesting.
00:14:00
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah. I need head and shoulders right now.
D23 Event Highlights
00:14:09
beb
Yeah, well, it's a yeah, i i I wouldn't I don't know if I regret not moving there, but I kind of do get that. like feeling of missing out a little bit.
00:14:21
beb
But it was it i mean it was a totally different place, like peak pandemic. um So now it's bounced, it looks like everything's bounced back. It's kind of recovered and it's back to its old self.
00:14:34
beb
So I need to i need to go visit sometime soon.
00:14:39
urfavoritecoastersux
Yes, the city seemed really cool to me when we spent several days there, you know, looking around for apartments and all. um Nothing was nothing struck me as any more sketchy than any parts of Chicago I had been through.
00:15:02
beb
Yeah.
00:15:02
urfavoritecoastersux
Like any major city, there's parts you just don't go to. unless you have a reason to.
00:15:12
urfavoritecoastersux
But other than that, it's a major city that unfortunately has major city problems. But it's not the fucking hellhole that Fox News makes it out to be.
00:15:21
beb
Right. Yeah, exactly.
00:15:30
urfavoritecoastersux
Because yeah, Fox News would have you believe that that city is
00:15:30
beb
Well, that's, and that's the comparison to your, you know, they show these images of, I
00:15:39
urfavoritecoastersux
Oh, go ahead.
00:15:40
beb
was just going to say like that. I mean, cause that shit's marketed towards, you know, the boomer who lives in a small town and, um, yeah, it's just, it's just, it's just that contrast outrage.
00:15:54
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, and that's the thing is like Fox News would have you believe that Chicago, where I currently live, I'm dodging bullets just to get around, right?
00:15:56
beb
Meanwhile.
00:16:07
beb
hit Yeah.
00:16:07
urfavoritecoastersux
which is not the case at all for me I only ever once had anything even remotely close to any kind of close brush to even put it in the most severe of terms um
00:16:29
urfavoritecoastersux
And San Francisco, they would have you believe that it's nothing but like you said, ah gay pride, gay pride parade with dicks swinging and homeless crack addicts.
00:16:42
beb
Mm-hmm. It's, uh, it's furries, indoctrinating children telling them to be trans and D E I woke politics.
00:16:57
urfavoritecoastersux
And every restroom is is for everybody.
00:17:01
beb
Yeah. Oh no, there's tampons in the gender neutral bathroom.
00:17:10
urfavoritecoastersux
J.K. Rowling's worst nightmare. What the fuck happened to her, by the way? quick rant about JK Rowling.
00:17:22
beb
I don't know I don't know
00:17:24
urfavoritecoastersux
I know you're not a Harry Potter fan, but when the fuck when the fuck and I was reviewing Epic Universe footage and or well concept art and when the fuck did the flu network have the ability to travel time?
00:17:53
urfavoritecoastersux
Me neither Ben, and I'm confused.
00:18:00
urfavoritecoastersux
I want an answer. I can accept that the flu network takes you from Paris to London, but to do so from the twenties to the nineties.
00:18:18
urfavoritecoastersux
Look, I'm just saying it doesn't seem to match canonically.
00:18:28
urfavoritecoastersux
Not saying Epic Universe doesn't look awesome because it does. um Just, you know, I'm a Harry Potter nerd next year.
00:18:36
beb
Yeah. When does that open?
00:18:40
beb
Okay. That's cool. I mean, it is exciting to always get a new theme park other than what, why or not? Well, what the is it? Um, lost Island.
00:18:53
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah. um
00:18:53
beb
It's like,
00:18:57
urfavoritecoastersux
I suppose one of us should go there.
00:19:02
beb
Yeah, i'd I'd like to check it out. I don't see myself going to Disney world anytime soon. It's not that I don't want to go. I just, I, I just don't think I have the time or like the vacation resources to devote like a whole week to go.
00:19:23
beb
Whereas like universal is like, you know, two days and you're good pop in a sea world.
00:19:31
urfavoritecoastersux
Well, they they already announced that the tickets for Epic Universe are going to be um like you purchase two days to universal parks that aren't Epic Universe.
00:19:31
beb
Um,
00:19:46
urfavoritecoastersux
And then the third day is is Epic Universe.
00:19:47
beb
Okay.
00:19:52
beb
Oh, gotcha. Okay.
00:19:58
beb
But even then, like, that's way more manageable.
00:19:58
urfavoritecoastersux
So that
00:20:02
beb
I get, I get overwhelmed trying to think of planning a Disney world vacation.
00:20:08
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, it does seem a little overwhelming. But that's why we're happy to announce our your favorite coaster sucks meet up at Disney World. No, I'm just kidding.
00:20:20
beb
I mean, Hey, if someone wants to volunteer a planned thing for a group rigor rigor, no, sorry. It just, um, I'm down, but yeah.
00:20:32
urfavoritecoastersux
Well, here's the thing is actually.
00:20:33
beb
Every, cause like, I'm like, I've thought about, well, like last year when I went down there, I was like, I went on YouTube and I was like, you know, just like, you know, I'm going to watch some YouTube videos on how to like plan a Disney trip.
00:20:37
urfavoritecoastersux
Go ahead.
00:20:48
beb
And then like within the first maybe three videos, I was just like, there's no way I can do this. And like, there's like, cause I booked that trip last minute. I was like, there's no way this is happening.
00:21:02
beb
but yeah.
00:21:03
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, I mean it's a little difficult if you do it last minute. i'm I was going to say, actually, I know a few people that would be really stoked if we had to meet up in Orlando.
00:21:16
beb
Oh, for sure, yeah.
00:21:24
urfavoritecoastersux
Which is going to bring me nicely to our the the first thing I wanted to talk about this episode. Which is this fucking big ass trip I just got home from.
00:21:39
urfavoritecoastersux
which, um
00:21:40
beb
ah yeah
Journey to Disneyland
00:21:41
urfavoritecoastersux
yeah, primarily was focused on moving to San Francisco.
00:21:44
urfavoritecoastersux
However, we had booked D23, which fell right in the middle of this trip just by happenstance. um You know, when the tickets went on sale, I think six months ago or whatever,
00:22:01
urfavoritecoastersux
So it worked out nicely. We were able to just get ourselves.
00:22:05
beb
Oh yeah.
00:22:05
urfavoritecoastersux
Well, i we drove from San Francisco to Disneyland. And the thing about that is everything is great until you get to Magic Mountain.
00:22:24
urfavoritecoastersux
You get to Magic Mountain.
00:22:25
beb
Well, is it traffic wise or?
00:22:28
urfavoritecoastersux
Yep, because Magic Mountain signifies the L.A. area.
00:22:33
beb
Yeah. So that's the first stop. If you're driving from San Francisco, you actually go through that area.
00:22:41
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, because we took the five.
00:22:46
urfavoritecoastersux
I don't know what what all we took to get on the five.
00:22:46
beb
Okay.
00:22:51
urfavoritecoastersux
But that was the main route, you know, through the Bakersfield area and all that.
00:23:00
urfavoritecoastersux
and so um Yeah, we we got to Santa Clarita and I was like I saw a bus that said Santa Clarita I was like Huh, that's where Magic Mountain has and in my mind.
00:23:15
urfavoritecoastersux
I was like it doesn't seem like it's been that long You know so it's like oh shit. There's Magic Mountain Let's pull over get some gas at the bathroom all that you know and And then we got back on the road and dude fucking two more hours to get to fucking SNA from there um Let's see Google can answer that Magic Mountain to SNA is oh Wait a second.
00:23:21
beb
Yeah.
00:23:37
beb
How many miles is that?
00:23:54
urfavoritecoastersux
That's not correct
00:24:11
beb
Also heads up by Craig's coming in, the dogs are gonna go nuts, so I might have to mute for a few seconds in like a couple minutes.
00:24:18
urfavoritecoastersux
Okay. All right.
Disney Parks Announcements
00:24:22
urfavoritecoastersux
73 miles.
00:24:24
beb
Okay. Which is actually distance wise, it's actually pretty fucking far. It's like, that's what's, I think that's what's crazy about l LA, like not living there is, you know, you hear about like the, you know, year two hour commute.
00:24:39
beb
And it's like, that's obviously long, but it's also 70 miles. Like there's a lot of opportunity for backups to happen or accidents or, I mean, shit, 70 miles is like the distance between.
00:24:51
urfavoritecoastersux
oh Yeah, no, it's the other side of LA for sure Yeah, dude the l LA area is
00:24:57
beb
Yeah. Like you hear, you know, l LA area and in your mind, that's like, oh, that's one city, but it's like a span of 70 miles. That's like.
00:25:10
beb
I don't even know how long that, that'd be like from, that's like definitely longer than here than like Colorado Springs.
00:25:21
urfavoritecoastersux
like textbook urban sprawl, right?
00:25:35
urfavoritecoastersux
I mean, it might have actually been like two and a half, maybe even three. I wasn't keeping time. It was just because the thing is, it's just stop and go.
00:25:49
urfavoritecoastersux
and not go it's like stop let off the brakes stop let off the brakes stop for three minutes so anyway
00:26:01
beb
Well, it's also like every time you go through one of those cities, it's like, like, yeah, when you go through the cities, like,
00:26:12
beb
from what I remember, it's kind of like you'll go from like five lanes and then it'll go down to like three lanes and then it opens up to five lanes and then there's like an interchange where you have to stay in like one lane and it's backed up. There's no like straight shot.
00:26:33
beb
thing
00:26:34
urfavoritecoastersux
yeah and it's all california drivers which listen everywhere has fucked up drivers but california has a lot more people than most other places so just by rule of percentages
00:26:39
beb
Yeah.
00:26:56
beb
shit
00:26:59
urfavoritecoastersux
That's all right. I know your dog's like participating in the podcast. I will get to what we got down south for is D 23.
00:27:04
beb
yeah give me yeah
00:27:08
urfavoritecoastersux
All right. And this year they had switched it um from being considered an expo to being the ultimate fan event.
00:27:21
urfavoritecoastersux
alright whatever fine same shit Anaheim Convention Center I'll say right from the top we did not have tickets to the Honda Center because that shit was fucking expensive um we couldn't get them that shit was pricey ah I don't know I'll try better to make better content about Disney shit if you really
00:27:27
beb
Yeah, give me, yes.
00:27:51
urfavoritecoastersux
want and we can try better next time if you guys care that much but we watched a live stream from the hotel room that was literally around the corner from the convention center so and you know fine we also didn't have to pay 20 bucks for a beer at the Honda Center we were drinking in the hotel just fine so you know pros and cons right but Friday
00:28:22
urfavoritecoastersux
I woke up at fucking 3.55, we all did, 3.55 a.m. to try and get the fucking virtual queue. Because this D23 only had virtual queue for the big stores. And the main thing that Rhian wanted to get was the Star Cruiser.
00:28:50
urfavoritecoastersux
So we woke up for the d23 marketplace got the virtual queue 4 a.m I got a good boarding group and so to ran so we were all able to get in we met someone there ah Who wanted to get in a boarding group? So we we're like, yeah, come along cuz you could have two people per um We waited an hour and a fucking half to get into the d23 marketplace, but we finally made it in and and got the Star Cruiser and I found a really bitchin' jacket that says Disneyland and Walt Disney World. It's fucking awesome. That shit sold out.
00:29:37
urfavoritecoastersux
Then we got to see, yeah, yeah, yeah, cause this shit sold out early.
00:29:37
beb
You guys about tickets ahead of time?
00:29:44
urfavoritecoastersux
that D23 sold out in like three days.
00:29:45
beb
Yeah.
00:29:47
urfavoritecoastersux
Last time there was tickets available until like the weekend before.
00:29:49
beb
Probably just less
00:29:53
urfavoritecoastersux
But it's um it's every other year.
00:29:57
urfavoritecoastersux
Which also, hey, really awesome.
00:29:58
beb
probably just less
00:30:03
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, what'd you say?
00:30:05
beb
Well, I was just going to say, like, probably also like, um, like two years ago, pandemic, you know, more pandemic, uh, what do you call it? Fatigue.
00:30:21
urfavoritecoastersux
A little bit, yeah, it was way bigger and more busy this time. Way more busy, way more people. I had the feeling they oversold it.
00:30:34
urfavoritecoastersux
um To be honest, that's the feeling I got, especially on Sunday.
00:30:35
beb
Yeah.
00:30:41
urfavoritecoastersux
That said, we were able to make our way into some panels, which is awesome. We did not, again, get to go to the entertainment panel or the parks panel, because that was at the Honda Center, required a separate ticket that was way fucking expensive. So we did not get to go to that stuff, but we found a livestream and watched that in the hotel. But the stuff I did get to see was fucking cool.
00:31:06
urfavoritecoastersux
so They had a whole car show with a bunch of different cars from Disney movies. It was a tram from the the old Disneyland parking lot tram and a car that Walt actually drove down Main Street.
00:31:27
urfavoritecoastersux
They had a bunch of booths about their different shows and stuff.
00:31:36
urfavoritecoastersux
We did end up stopping by a couple of them, Disney Plus and Abbott Elementary, because that's a fun show. I like that one. Friday, we had gotten reservations for the goofy movie panel, which was fucking dope.
00:32:01
urfavoritecoastersux
It was about um a documentary that's scheduled to hopefully be released at some point soon on streaming called not just a goof and definitely go follow them on ah Instagram if you're into goofy movie because that movie looks fantastic.
00:32:22
urfavoritecoastersux
It has a bunch of.
00:32:22
beb
This is the new one.
00:32:23
urfavoritecoastersux
yeah it's a making of documentary they unearthed a bunch of footage from the director of a goofy movie from the production of the movie and then are telling the story with that plus interviews with um you know the crew and some of the cast and also some great animation sequences where they animated all the people in the style of a goofy movie
00:32:35
beb
Okay.
00:32:55
urfavoritecoastersux
They showed a couple of clips that this panel was fantastic. They had the the producer and the director there to talk about it. They had the voice of goofy Bill Farmer. They had the director of a goofy movie. I think the animation director and somebody else, it was it was awesome.
00:33:19
urfavoritecoastersux
Bill Farmer, the voice
00:33:19
beb
What is, I've never actually, I've never seen a goofy movie. Is it a, is it a good movie?
00:33:25
urfavoritecoastersux
blasphemy blasphemy blasphemy go watch it it'll make you want to call your dad can somebody please leave a comment and tell Ben to watch this fucking movie
00:33:37
beb
I know I've heard about, I know it was big. I just never, I never saw it.
00:33:52
beb
Alright, I'll put it on the list.
00:33:54
urfavoritecoastersux
It's really good dude. And it's short.
00:34:04
urfavoritecoastersux
But ah Bill Farmer ended up 95.
00:34:05
beb
When did that come out, like...
00:34:09
beb
Oh shit, okay, so it's old.
00:34:12
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, it's from when we were kids. Make you feel old?
00:34:15
beb
Yeah.
00:34:16
urfavoritecoastersux
Ha ha ha. Anyway, Bill Farmer had his son come out and they sang Nobody Else But You from the soundtrack of The Goofy Movie.
00:34:28
urfavoritecoastersux
while it played on the screen it was awesome i got a video i uploaded it to our instagram so ah go find that on our instagram if you're interested it was really nice i enjoyed it great panel i'm really hoping that um not just a goof the film is released they were mentioning that they're in talks with quote a streaming service that's not netflix so yeah i think that's the inference given that it was the disney convention or fan event i should say um but it was really great to be in attendance for that
00:35:01
beb
So Disney plus.
00:35:11
beb
Yeah.
00:35:18
urfavoritecoastersux
It really was. um So. The next day. We woke up early, got some reservations, but ended up not using them for virtual queue because.
00:35:32
urfavoritecoastersux
We just decided not to shop anymore, which is cool. Got our one souvenir each and that was dope. And the only need a virtual cues for the shop. So um we did, however, queue up for the Abbott Elementary panel in the morning. Which was really cool because we got to see the entire ensemble cast of Abbott Elementary.
00:36:00
beb
Okay, cool.
00:36:02
urfavoritecoastersux
Have you seen that show before?
00:36:05
beb
I've never watched it through, but I've probably collectively seen like maybe five or six episodes.
00:36:12
urfavoritecoastersux
It's a good show.
00:36:12
beb
It's good. I like, I mean, yeah, I thought it was good.
00:36:16
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, yeah, I think it's it's it's good. It's funny. I enjoy it. um We happen to get seated right next to like across the aisle from Adam the woo, which is pretty funny.
00:36:32
beb
Yeah.
00:36:36
urfavoritecoastersux
And interestingly, um without getting into too much YouTube drama here, he was with Daphne or Natalie, whatever she goes by.
00:36:44
beb
Yeah.
00:36:48
urfavoritecoastersux
And I don't think that he put her in his videos.
00:36:56
urfavoritecoastersux
well normally he'll put her in his videos when they're together and like I just noticed that they were together the whole time because we saw them a couple times and then we were seated next to them at that panel and like he didn't put her in his video and all this time I don't know anyway ah let the
00:37:00
beb
yeah
00:37:18
beb
maybe Maybe she called off sick or something.
00:37:21
urfavoritecoastersux
i don Yeah, maybe who knows let the subreddits figure that one out right anyway Anywho I'm a fan.
00:37:32
urfavoritecoastersux
I watch his videos I Don't know if it's cuz I like enjoy the content or if it's cuz I'm like oh, he's a lonely old man But
00:37:44
beb
I used to a lot. I mean, but I mean, also, I mean, he probably started, I don't know for, I mean, he was kind of OG with YouTuber.
00:37:54
urfavoritecoastersux
in like the early 2010s, yeah.
00:37:57
beb
Yeah.
00:38:02
urfavoritecoastersux
But he's he's been doing the daily vlog for a long time. I'm a fan. I got a picture with him last E23. Because he does mostly Disney stuff now.
00:38:15
beb
Yeah.
00:38:18
urfavoritecoastersux
But anyway, I just thought that was interesting. Moving on, I also had managed to get reserv reservations for the animation panel, which was fucking awesome. It was Jason Manzoukis hosting a conversation with Seth MacFarlane, Matt Groening, Mike Judge, and Lauren Bouchard.
00:38:49
urfavoritecoastersux
which is fucking fascinating and awesome to listen to.
00:38:55
beb
Yeah, that sounds that sounds pretty good.
00:38:58
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, dude, it was amazing. um Jason Manzoukis was a great host for that and...
00:39:09
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, it was great to see those four dudes in conversation. Apparently that was the first time those four guys had ever been like in a live appearance together. So that was awesome. And then they did like um promotion for upcoming season of Bob's Burgers. Futurama and The Simpsons.
00:39:36
beb
Okay. Nice.
00:39:38
urfavoritecoastersux
So there are some clips and everything. um There's going to be four episodes of The Simpsons that are going to be exclusively streaming on Disney Plus that they announced there.
00:39:54
urfavoritecoastersux
So that's kind of exciting.
00:39:57
beb
Yeah. Have you seen any new symptoms though? Like, do you keep up with it?
00:40:05
urfavoritecoastersux
Not like every week, but usually I'll catch up on Hulu at least half the season.
00:40:15
beb
Yeah, are they any good?
00:40:17
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah. You know, at this point they have like better seasons and not as good seasons, but I'd say consistently they're better than they were like 10 years ago when it was kind of just a joke.
00:40:34
beb
Yeah, I guess it's kind of where I left off, was like the 10 years ago one. I thought that sucked.
00:40:44
beb
It was painful it was like painful to watch.
00:40:44
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, no, it's definitely.
00:40:48
urfavoritecoastersux
I'd say on average, the episodes are better quality. Again, there's still like better seasons and not as good seasons, but averaging, they're all better than they were like a decade ago.
00:40:53
beb
Yeah.
00:41:03
beb
Yeah.
00:41:09
urfavoritecoastersux
So, I mean, I I'm still a fan, you know,
00:41:18
urfavoritecoastersux
And, um, long time listeners to the show may remember that at the last D 23, the only panel we managed to get a reservation for was the Simpsons panel where I got to see Matt Groening and Yardley Smith speak. Um, and yeah, it was awesome to continue that trend.
00:41:47
urfavoritecoastersux
Like now that the Simpsons is a Disney property. It's cool that I've been able to like. Have that experience of going to the the fan event and being able to translate it to that live setting, you know.
00:42:08
beb
Yeah.
00:42:13
urfavoritecoastersux
So that was Saturday, and then Saturday night was the big parks panel. So I got a whole big fucking note, because it was a big one.
00:42:24
urfavoritecoastersux
Ben, did you hear it was a big one?
00:42:27
beb
I do not.
00:42:29
urfavoritecoastersux
It was a big one. And there's some big shit we are going to talk about here.
00:42:38
urfavoritecoastersux
First of all, first thing announced, and this, okay, first thing.
00:42:43
urfavoritecoastersux
Josh Damaro started out by saying that nothing announced was blue sky. Everything was in development. It's no blue sky concept. So that was cool to hear up front. um I'm gonna spare y'all about an hour and a half of musical acts and just go through the list.
00:43:09
urfavoritecoastersux
First of all, they're getting a Coco boat ride at Disney's California horny Adventure. Fucking awesome. Love it.
00:43:22
urfavoritecoastersux
Rumors I've been hearing is this is actually expanding California Adventure beyond Disneyland Drive and making progress on Disneyland forward.
00:43:44
urfavoritecoastersux
There you go.
00:43:45
beb
what it What is, what is, what is, and what is Coco?
00:43:45
urfavoritecoastersux
Coco.
00:43:51
urfavoritecoastersux
Pixar film.
00:43:54
beb
Oh, okay. Gotcha.
00:44:00
urfavoritecoastersux
Really good one. About. um
00:44:09
urfavoritecoastersux
Dia de los Muertos and Mexican culture and music and the afterlife. Good film. Good film. So I'm excited for that.
00:44:24
urfavoritecoastersux
They gave some further details on the Avatar ride and land coming to Disney California Adventure. So ah Avatar ride is going to be a boat ride that is the same ride type as Pirates of the Caribbean in Shanghai. That's super high tech boat that goes sideways and backwards.
00:44:56
urfavoritecoastersux
Spoiler alert.
00:45:03
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, it's going to be that, but team to avatar only land of the park theme to that. I think there may have been a smaller ride included in the right area. Couldn't tell for sure. These were all just notes I took while watching the live stream. So I got every ride in there. I was trying my best to make notes. um I've watched some other stuff, but I didn't let my notes get influenced by it.
00:45:33
urfavoritecoastersux
So Tokyo Tokyo Disneyland is getting a nighttime spectacular or a new one. Cool. Love to see it.
00:45:47
urfavoritecoastersux
Disneyland Paris is getting a new nighttime spectacular. Also cool, but their drone show also looked really dope, so. Hopefully they reincorporate the drones into that.
00:46:03
urfavoritecoastersux
um Magic Kingdom is getting a night a new nighttime parade.
00:46:11
urfavoritecoastersux
So there's that.
00:46:14
urfavoritecoastersux
It looks pretty cool for what it's worth.
00:46:18
beb
yeah
00:46:19
urfavoritecoastersux
All right, here's a big one.
00:46:20
beb
Yeah.
00:46:23
urfavoritecoastersux
They are building a Lion King log flume at Disney's Adventure World, formerly Disney la Disney Studios, Disney Studios, Paris. Yes. Yeah.
00:46:42
beb
Is it going to be like a splash mountain log fume or just totally ground up
00:46:46
urfavoritecoastersux
Yep.
00:46:51
urfavoritecoastersux
I mean, it looked like there was a model of it. And oh, I'll put on my pictures on the Patreon or Patreon on the um Discord for everybody. I did get to go in on Sunday to the Imagineering Pavilion ah Pavilion ah booth and see all the models and new stuff and take a bunch of great pictures. So I'll post those up for everybody. um I'll just have you all know.
00:47:20
urfavoritecoastersux
Not even all the Disneyland vloggers got access to those models, but your boy did.
00:47:32
beb
How'd you do that?
00:47:33
urfavoritecoastersux
Because all the Disneyland vloggers were fucking I saw ordinary adventures taking pictures when I was in there from around the rope. I had to wait in a gnarly line to get in. But y'all, I made it in there to get some fucking awesome pictures. And I did. So those are going up on the Discord. um So models of everything that I'm talking about that they had will post some cool pictures. Including the Lion King log flume. Next big thing, Disneyland is getting a Walt Disney animatronic.
00:48:14
urfavoritecoastersux
It's gonna ah play in a show called Walt Disney, A Magical Life. And it it's gonna be premiering next year in the theater with Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. And then after I think six months, it's going to play interchangeably with Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.
00:48:41
urfavoritecoastersux
So every other show will be Walt Disney and then the the shows between will be Abe Lincoln.
00:48:53
beb
Wait, there's an a blink in animatronic.
00:48:56
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, at Disneyland, great moments with Mr. Lincoln.
00:48:59
beb
Oh, okay. I didn't know that.
00:49:08
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, it was one of the first human-based animatronics that Walt actually built, I think, for the World's Fair. And then it became a ah Disneyland attraction.
00:49:22
beb
Nice, okay.
00:49:25
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, so now um there's going to be the Walt Disney a magical life show running with an animatronic Walt Disney in that same theater, but they're going to be on a turntable. They said the show is basically going to be like Walt Disney in his office.
00:49:47
urfavoritecoastersux
And they didn't really elaborate much.
00:49:51
urfavoritecoastersux
They were like, maybe he hears some music or comes up with a song. And then I don't remember who came out and sang a song.
00:50:02
urfavoritecoastersux
Because that's how that whole presentation worked next. Indiana Jones attraction is going to Animal Kingdom, Disney's Animal Kingdom, D.A.K. Replacing dinosaur um countdown to extinction.
00:50:22
urfavoritecoastersux
going to be in a whole new attraction, not the same storyline as the Indiana Jones attraction at Disneyland.
00:50:38
urfavoritecoastersux
So there's that.
00:50:44
urfavoritecoastersux
They are going to re-theme Dinoland in Disney's Animal Kingdom to tropical Americas.
00:50:55
urfavoritecoastersux
which includes restaurantasaurus is becoming hacienda restaurant and is also going to include casita madrigal attraction. um The notes I wrote here says it's the day Antonio receives his magical gift Casita has enchanted furniture which transports us into Antonio's room where he can talk to animals and that's opening in 2027.
00:51:32
urfavoritecoastersux
So that's pretty fucking cool.
00:51:39
urfavoritecoastersux
new ride for disney's animal kingdom that's awesome um just tiana's bayou adventure at disneyland is opening november 15th that's fucking fantastic because that means they're probably gonna finally get rid of those goddamn construction walls over there that was a pain in the ass and we'll get to my trip report about disneyland
00:51:45
beb
Is it a credit?
00:52:04
urfavoritecoastersux
Uh, Zootopia replacing it's tough to be a bug in winter 2025. Uh, the name of the show there is better zoo gather. Boo. They're going to open a spaceship earth lounge in 2025.
00:52:26
urfavoritecoastersux
Cool. It's going to be a pirates themed restaurant and magic kingdom in 2025. Cool. Test track three is opening in 2025. All right. Now, here we go. Here's where it gets interesting again. Monsters, Inkland is coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios theme to Monstropolis. This is going to include the first ever suspended roller coaster at a Disney park. Theme to the door warehouse.
00:53:05
beb
That sounds cool. Do you know the manufacturer?
00:53:10
urfavoritecoastersux
Not confirmed. um A friend of the show. Brandon has told ah Brandon Anderson has told us that it's likely going to be a Vekoma, which makes the most sense.
00:53:27
beb
Yeah.
00:53:28
urfavoritecoastersux
I'm kind of holding out hope for a B and&M.
00:53:35
urfavoritecoastersux
But I think that's super unlikely. Now, this is a big point of contention for some Disney folks because it's not yet confirmed where this is going. Could either be going into the animation courtyard at Disney's Hollywood Studios or replacing Muppet Vision 3D and the Muppet Courtyard.
00:54:06
urfavoritecoastersux
And it's not yet known as of recording which of those it will be.
00:54:17
urfavoritecoastersux
I'm hoping animation courtyard. And speculation is it's going to be like the Zootopia land in Shanghai with the windows and everything seems super cool.
00:54:32
urfavoritecoastersux
Alright, another big one here. Magic Kingdom is having is going to have a Cars Land in a reimagined portion of Frontier Land. Two new Cars attractions. One is going to be an off-road dark thrill ride. And one is a kids ride. And we found out since after d23 that this is going to be replacing the rivers of america and tom soyer island they're going to be filling in the rivers of america magic kingdom so
00:55:12
beb
Thomas or is that a boat ride?
00:55:17
urfavoritecoastersux
Um, yeah, there's the rivers of America boat. And then Tom Sawyer Island, where you go over there and there was, um, a playground for kids, basically.
00:55:29
beb
Yeah.
00:55:33
urfavoritecoastersux
So a lot of people are upset about that.
00:55:40
beb
Yeah, I guess it's not surprising. but also I feel like no matter what they do, people will complain.
00:55:43
urfavoritecoastersux
I'll say.
00:55:48
urfavoritecoastersux
I'll say while they have Tomorrowland Speedway there. That maybe would have been a better place to put a cars attraction. I don't know. I don't know. I've never been to Tom Sawyer's Island that I know of. Maybe I went when I was a kid on the trip there, but. I went once and I don't remember going there, but it's possible I did, but it's I don't really care either way.
00:56:20
urfavoritecoastersux
I just think it's funny how riled up people like adults are getting.
00:56:29
beb
Well, that's what I mean. That's just that Disney culture, Disney adult culture.
00:56:35
urfavoritecoastersux
Yep.
00:56:39
urfavoritecoastersux
It's ah it's it's it's different, man. Like I was telling you about the shopping, dude, the shopping was crazy. There's people walking out of there with just arm loads full of shit. That the aerial doll was the big seller, apparently.
00:56:59
urfavoritecoastersux
Super limited edition, you know, Ariel. Those dolls are on some other level.
00:57:09
urfavoritecoastersux
So getting back to the parks panel Disney treasure is gonna feature a Moana show with a 15 foot tall puppet that looked awesome um The Disney treasure will also feature a Hercules show cool looks good They are going to build four more Disney cruise line chips from 2027 through 2031 and They look like smaller ships and I think they're going to be serving more of Asia and Australia.
00:57:51
urfavoritecoastersux
It's still pretty cool to see him expanding cruise line by that much. There was a big Deadpool presentation where he made jokes about the Yeti and the Phantasmic Dragon. Pretty fucking awesome.
00:58:09
urfavoritecoastersux
um Shanghai Disneyland is getting a spider-man coaster looks cool Hong Kong Disneyland is getting a spider-man attraction that looked like Tower of Terror which is awesome because it was like spider-man within a web above you and Dr. Octopus below you
00:58:37
beb
Okay. Yeah, I could already visual that.
00:58:40
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, that seemed really cool.
00:58:44
beb
Yeah.
00:58:44
urfavoritecoastersux
um
00:58:48
urfavoritecoastersux
Avengers Campus and Disney California Adventure. um They announced the E-Ticket is gonna be named Avengers Infinity Defense and it looks like it's basically going to be Spider-Man at Islands of Adventure. Shrug emoji.
00:59:13
urfavoritecoastersux
Hopefully they do better since they have the you know characters and all that for an original storyline, but who knows? um They're gonna build a second attraction in a Ventures campus at Disney's California Adventure. It's gonna be a fucking KUKA arm like the one at Legoland that we rode back in 2009.
00:59:40
beb
Stationary or or on a coaster?
00:59:42
urfavoritecoastersux
stationary.
00:59:44
beb
Okay.
00:59:46
urfavoritecoastersux
Now, the only modification to it that's mildly interesting is that the seats are. They're like pods that the KUKA arm will actually pick up and do the ride program with.
01:00:04
urfavoritecoastersux
And the the seat pods are on a track. You know, for efficiency.
01:00:13
beb
Oh, I gotcha.
01:00:14
urfavoritecoastersux
But that's pretty cool. So there's basically, yeah, like an oval track around the KUKA arms.
01:00:16
beb
Yeah.
01:00:25
urfavoritecoastersux
And they, they mentioned riding several times because there'll be different hero interactions or whatever. It's a fucking KUKA arm ride.
01:00:39
urfavoritecoastersux
But good that they're adding the capacity, right? So then lastly. Josh tomorrow announced they're going to build a villain's land at Magic Kingdom.
01:01:00
urfavoritecoastersux
Didn't really give much details other than that. Just announced there's going to be a villain's land.
01:01:12
urfavoritecoastersux
So there you go. That was the parks panel.
01:01:18
urfavoritecoastersux
Then Sunday. We saw some other shit. And the show floor. um I'll put some pictures up. the The I went, like I said, to the imagine engineering booth and got pictures of the models.
01:01:41
urfavoritecoastersux
so I will be sharing all those with you guys very soon and um Monday we decided to go to fucking Disneyland now I will say this apparently there was a 4.4 earthquake in Pasadena that day
01:02:10
beb
That's
Disneyland Adventures
01:02:11
beb
not, I mean that's not that big, right? That's like not even enough to feel it.
01:02:16
urfavoritecoastersux
We were just outside of the radius of it, and I didn't feel anything. We were watching the Disneyland Band March at the exact moment it happened, so...
01:02:21
beb
Yeah.
01:02:28
urfavoritecoastersux
Shrug emoji, I guess. um It was busy. We didn't rope drop. We didn't stay till close. We got on eight attractions. Here they are in order. Haunted Mansion Holiday.
01:02:39
urfavoritecoastersux
Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters. Roger Rabbit's Cartoon Spin. Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway, Jungle Cruise, Rise of the Resistance, Storybook Land Canal Boats, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, um and we also had two meals at the park, we saw the Magic Happens Parade, we watched the fireworks from a cool place, ah we saw Phantasmic, and we got some dull whips.
01:03:10
urfavoritecoastersux
it was busy but we didn't buy genie plus or individual lightning lanes so that was nice like apparently mondays are just super fucking busy at disneyland i don't know why mondays are
01:03:20
beb
I mean, is that park pretty slammed during the 23? Typically.
01:03:32
beb
Yeah. I mean, imagine if like Mondays in general, at the park.
01:03:42
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, apparently those are busy just like consistently.
01:03:48
beb
Maybe it's, you know, what's funny is ah Cedar Point had the same problem. When I worked there, Mondays were slammed. And I think it might as much just be like, that must be a popular day to take off at work.
01:04:03
beb
During the week, you know, like it's easier to do a three day weekend, especially if you have more locals coming in.
01:04:05
urfavoritecoastersux
That kind of makes sense.
01:04:09
beb
I know for Cedar Point it was because Anyone who drove in from like out of the area and they stayed on site, they typically started their reservations on Monday or like Sunday night. Um, so yeah, like it was, it was this weird thing where Mondays and Tuesdays, like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesdays were slammed and then Fridays were dead. Sundays were dead. And then of course, Saturday is just, you know, Saturday.
01:04:40
beb
But I always remember like Mondays and Saturdays being pretty much in this in distinguishable from each other wine wise.
01:04:51
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, it was it was busy but also i will say in defense of disneyland the whole pathway from just past haunted mansion all the way to over by big thunder is closed off so the park's not even a full loop right now
01:05:14
beb
Oh just for that construction.
01:05:17
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, for Tiana's and they're also redoing the Hungry Bear restaurant and re-theming it to, my voice just cracked there, the Hungry Bear restaurant and they're re-theming it to very strangely um the the um Country Bear Jamboree.
01:05:39
urfavoritecoastersux
Which is super weird because I think Disneyland got rid of that ride in the early 2000s.
01:05:48
urfavoritecoastersux
ah attraction maybe even the nineties because it's where Winnie the Pooh is now so they're seeming they're receiving hungry bear to the country bear jamboree they release the menu items it looks for I don't know it's barbecue shit I don't need that shit
01:05:58
beb
Yeah, I'm not sure.
01:06:17
beb
Yeah.
01:06:19
urfavoritecoastersux
They have one thing.
01:06:19
beb
Well, if it's barbecue shit, it's going to be like like the the meme of like, you got to try our barbecue in town. And then it shows the picture, it's like two little slices of meat.
01:06:28
urfavoritecoastersux
It's fucking they have.
01:06:32
urfavoritecoastersux
They actually looked like healthier portions than that. But the thing that looked alarming was they had a thing called corn ribs for plant based eaters, such as myself. And it was like. Like imagine like not a baby corn, but just like. Corn reassembled into the shape of a rib.
01:06:59
urfavoritecoastersux
like kernel by kernel yeah dude it was fucking disturbing looking yeah I'm not eating any fucking corn ribs I'll tell you that much I saw the picture of that shit and I was like oh
01:07:06
beb
Sometimes I just think that if it's a plant-based food, it should just be its own thing. like like Why call it ribs? Just like keep it what it is.
01:07:29
urfavoritecoastersux
We ain't doing that shit, no thank you.
01:07:35
urfavoritecoastersux
But um Disneyland, fucking awesome as always. Oh, also Space Mountain was closed.
01:07:43
urfavoritecoastersux
And Haunted Mansion was fucking virtual queue only.
01:07:44
beb
like
01:07:50
beb
Is it, are they doing any rehab on it?
01:07:53
urfavoritecoastersux
I think it's just a scheduled maintenance. Nothing. I don't think they're bringing back Ghost Galaxy. I'm sorry, y'all.
01:08:08
urfavoritecoastersux
I know I want to see it. I never had a chance to.
01:08:21
urfavoritecoastersux
And um I mean.
01:08:29
urfavoritecoastersux
I feel like probably being in California. Disneyland is going to be my main park.
01:08:39
beb
Yeah. Cause that's why. So what was the total from where we, where you were at six hours?
01:08:46
urfavoritecoastersux
It was like seven and a half, maybe eight. But the the the thing that was nice is that we realized that Magic Mountain is the perfect spot to break up the trip.
01:08:59
beb
Yeah, that's true. I mean, that's doable for like a few times a year.
01:09:01
urfavoritecoastersux
Because you get there. Yeah, you get there. It's like about five to Magic Mountain.
01:09:11
urfavoritecoastersux
it's like not bad at all to get to Magic Mountain so you leave in the morning get to Magic Mountain in the afternoon go through the evening and then stay in a hotel near there and then just drive out first thing in the morning to Disneyland or if possible fly out to SNA
01:09:11
beb
Yeah, that's doable.
01:09:25
beb
Yeah. Yeah. I mean,
01:09:42
beb
Yeah, I'm sure there's plenty of like, you know, you could probably find some cheap flights on a whim around California.
01:09:51
urfavoritecoastersux
That's what I'm hoping, SFO, SNA.
01:09:59
urfavoritecoastersux
So that was ah that was the the trip.
New Coaster at Six Flags Great America
01:10:04
urfavoritecoastersux
And then while I was out of town, wouldn't you know it, fucking Six Flags Great America goes ahead and announces a coaster.
01:10:14
beb
Yeah. This one is equally as surprising as so two hats. I'm really excited for the park, but also the part of me is also like, man, a dive coaster.
01:10:31
beb
But I also hope that this one is better than the ones I've written.
01:10:34
urfavoritecoastersux
It's going to be a huge success for them.
01:10:37
beb
Yeah. Oh, for sure.
01:10:41
urfavoritecoastersux
I will go ahead and say it.
01:10:41
beb
And even though.
01:10:43
urfavoritecoastersux
It's actually a great addition to the park.
01:10:43
beb
And like.
01:10:47
urfavoritecoastersux
I mean that wholeheartedly because it's going to be a fucking huge success for them.
01:10:48
beb
Yeah.
01:10:55
beb
Yeah. And this is a pretty long stretch without a new ride too. I mean, it's been since what?
01:11:00
urfavoritecoastersux
Exactly.
01:11:03
beb
Five years.
01:11:07
urfavoritecoastersux
yeah uh... it'll be six when it opens his twenty nineteen max force or wait was that twenty eighteen yeah going our cdb now twenty nineteen
01:11:13
beb
Yeah, that's a pretty long stretch.
01:11:17
beb
It doesn't seem like it, because I have to check. Let me fact check that.
01:11:38
beb
Okay. I never know how many X's to put in a max force. Is it three?
01:11:47
urfavoritecoastersux
15 triple x force
01:11:47
beb
Is it one?
01:11:54
beb
Max, X, X, X force. Yeah, just so like, I mean, let's see, I'm just curious what their lineup. So, I guess like when we were younger, so actually, okay, so,
01:12:15
beb
The gap between ultimate flight and dark night was five years. Oh, no, that's not considering.
01:12:21
urfavoritecoastersux
That's four.
01:12:23
beb
Oh, that's it right. That's not considering raging Cajun.
01:12:27
urfavoritecoastersux
Correct. Now this was the longest coaster drought in the park's history.
01:12:37
beb
Yeah, damn.
01:12:42
urfavoritecoastersux
wrath of rakshasa rakshasa
01:12:42
beb
Which doesn't.
01:12:48
urfavoritecoastersux
rakshasa rakshasa rakshasa rakshasa yeah
01:12:49
beb
Rakshasa.
01:12:57
beb
Interesting name. I'm glad it's not like the flash or something. I think that's actually the biggest relief I have is the fact that it's not going to be superhero themed.
01:13:02
urfavoritecoastersux
it's it's certainly an interesting theme i um
01:13:14
urfavoritecoastersux
I'm going to stop my jokes before they get into like ignorant racist territory.
01:13:22
beb
Well, considering the area and the people it the attracts, I'm sure they'll get plenty of that.
01:13:27
urfavoritecoastersux
Oh, they will, but it's not going to be for me.
01:13:33
urfavoritecoastersux
all right 180 feet tall 171 foot drop 96 degrees steep oh my god 67 miles per hour five inversions on a dive coaster
01:13:50
beb
You know, it's funny since remember when they removed a job and all the rumors that took place, like it was supposed to be like Chang. And then people always talked about like a GCI. I'm actually shocked they're not removing demon. For this. They were pretty creative with the layout and like the space usage.
01:14:17
beb
Also a nice little, also a nice little throwback to the blue track.
01:14:17
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, they were.
01:14:22
beb
The skyline's been missing it. Cause I mean, I think that's my biggest complaint about the current skyline is that there's so much yellow, orange, brown, red.
01:14:35
beb
There's no like vibrant coaster anymore.
01:14:36
urfavoritecoastersux
I was also thinking.
01:14:38
beb
And this, this risk rounds it out.
01:14:42
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, yeah, it's a pretty like.
01:14:47
urfavoritecoastersux
outlandish Lee purple.
01:14:53
urfavoritecoastersux
I like it. I was thinking um just because of its location, it's kind of paying tribute to deja vu. With like the vertical or 96 degrees, whatever drop there in county fair in that spot.
01:15:13
beb
Yeah, totally.
01:15:14
urfavoritecoastersux
I know it's not exactly the same angle but like still I'm hoping that they don't fill in the pond there for this yes
01:15:34
beb
Oh, yeah, there's that one because it was underneath the. The ones that were below the deja vu spikes. Yeah.
01:15:45
urfavoritecoastersux
I'm hoping that they're not filling those in for this because that pond's nice just nice to have like some that's
01:15:51
beb
um I almost wonder if that pond is like drainage, it's like has something to do with like drainage and water, so they might have to keep it, but I didn't see it in the video.
01:16:00
urfavoritecoastersux
possible that's what I'm saying is like it's a little hard to tell for sure because I don't think I'm playing the video now
01:16:10
beb
Yeah.
01:16:18
urfavoritecoastersux
okay you can see v2 back there so that's about where that would be does a full 180 degree turn before hitting the lift hill just about you can't see in the video for sure
01:16:41
beb
One thing I was wondering too is, is the Midway going to be underneath or, cause I always think about like how good they've like, so she, like Sheikra and Griffin, they did a really good job of like framing the, uh, like the path with the coaster drop.
01:17:02
beb
So you get those like really cool images and that like the visual. I don't know where they're putting the midway. I think the midway is like under is like behind the drop.
01:17:15
urfavoritecoastersux
Midway, yeah. OK, so I have the video paused. If you go to the video and pause at 43 seconds. Pond appears to be there, so the lift hill goes over the midway.
01:17:33
urfavoritecoastersux
Because you can see the um lobster there. And the demons lift hill.
01:17:43
urfavoritecoastersux
So the pond appears to be there. And yeah, the midway is underneath directly. This does mean, however, it looks like this might be taking out that spot that they've had a fright fest maze at for the past several years. There in the demon area.
01:18:08
beb
Oh, yeah, probably.
01:18:13
beb
Yeah, I mean, so I'm looking at the video now, there's not going to be. There's really no good vantage point of the first drop where you're like able to stand kind of in front of it, run of it underneath of it. You're going to be like looking behind the track. Which obviously they're, you know, they have a very limited space to do this in.
01:18:38
beb
So, you know, can't be too critical, but it's one thing I wish they would have tried to do. I mean, I guess you could probably actually, the queue line for the lobster is probably going to be the best spot to get that to get that view.
01:18:55
urfavoritecoastersux
probably yeah okay so it looks like after that second dive loop is when you'll cross back over the midway
01:18:59
beb
You know, like little thing.
01:19:14
beb
Okay. Yeah, I see that.
01:19:22
beb
I also, I mean, I know you, I know you're kind of limited on elements for a dive coaster, but. Immelmans are kind of meh. Or I guess technically it's an implement and then a dive loop. Um,
01:19:42
beb
I'm just really critical, I don't mean to be. I just can't help it. ah the Do you think though that when you look at the layout and you think about the elements and stuff, doesn't it kind of seem very similar to X-Flight? Where you're kind of like, you're going from like a roll to a bank turn to another roll. It's kind of a similar layout.
01:20:11
beb
You know, you got an Immelmann.
01:20:12
urfavoritecoastersux
I'm not letting you do it, Ben.
01:20:13
beb
What was that?
01:20:17
urfavoritecoastersux
I said I'm not letting you do it, Ben.
01:20:22
urfavoritecoastersux
This looks good. Shut the fuck up.
01:20:26
beb
Yeah, it's, it's, it's good. I'm actually very, I'm actually pretty excited, but I want to tap into that, like teenage CIFF cam world complaining era for a little bit.
01:20:39
urfavoritecoastersux
Well, let's check on CIFF game world.
01:20:39
beb
Break it down so you can build it back up.
01:20:45
urfavoritecoastersux
What is sif cam world saying?
01:20:46
beb
I didn't even...
01:20:52
urfavoritecoastersux
I'm looking right now.
01:21:03
beb
Fear the wrath.
01:21:11
beb
I also, I mean, I've also been reading a lot too about how new B&Ms have, um, rattles. So I'm curious, especially apparently the, whatever the hell it's called, the, the, when it dorny, apparently that one's gotten pretty bad already. According to the reviews.
01:21:36
urfavoritecoastersux
This is just people fighting about other things.
01:21:42
beb
You know, it is funny, there was a comment.
01:21:43
urfavoritecoastersux
Like literally. Halfway down the page, it's just like I'd like to see an overhaul of both kids areas. This is the topic about wrath of rakasha rakshasa raksha fuck.
01:22:07
urfavoritecoastersux
The new dive coaster.
01:22:13
beb
i did see I did see a really old comment from 2007 of somebody suggesting a dive coaster in that spot.
01:22:25
urfavoritecoastersux
Well, I mean, maybe that person's a visionary.
01:22:25
beb
I mean, mean it's a pretty good prediction, 17 years in the future.
01:22:37
urfavoritecoastersux
That's what I'm saying. That's some crazy ass accuracy.
01:22:48
beb
Yeah, that blue is the blue track is going to look really nice on the skyline.
01:23:00
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, I'm excited about this.
01:23:04
beb
And the the interlocking, um whatever they're calling it, interlocking zero g rolls. Looks pretty cool. Looks like it could be potential, potentially some ah good forces.
01:23:19
urfavoritecoastersux
yeah i think it's going to be cool
01:23:20
beb
It doesn't feel, I mean, it does feel like a pretty complete layout for a dive coaster.
01:23:29
beb
Like dive coasters are gonna naturally be on the shorter end, but for a shorter dive coaster, this actually does pretty good.
01:23:30
urfavoritecoastersux
ah
01:23:37
beb
I kinda wish they did the whole like RCT super steep bunny hill like ah like the one at Fiesta Texas has. But I mean, either way, this is still pretty good.
01:23:57
urfavoritecoastersux
I think it's going to do really well for them. and
01:24:02
beb
Yeah.
01:24:03
urfavoritecoastersux
I think it's cool that they're it's also going across the midway.
01:24:12
beb
Mm-hmm.
01:24:13
urfavoritecoastersux
So it's going to fill in some of that space next to the demon.
01:24:18
beb
Yeah. I'm also curious if they're going to light up any parts of the ride. Um, like because it's on the midway, like, um, I don't know, maybe illuminating the first drop or something, or, um, I don't know if they're really creative. Do one of those things where they like, or the first drop is illuminated and then like.
01:24:43
beb
The lights are programmed to go out when you drop and then the lights turn back on or, you know, little fun things they could do.
01:24:51
urfavoritecoastersux
That'd be cool. I'm excited to see it happen. I'm excited. You know, see green America get a new coaster.
01:25:10
urfavoritecoastersux
It's it's really great.
01:25:13
urfavoritecoastersux
Great addition to the park.
01:25:14
beb
It's the perfect time, yeah, it's the perfect time to argue about what they're gonna build next.
01:25:22
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, and I think they're going to remove Batman the ride. Go fuck yourself.
01:25:31
beb
And this also goes to show like, you know how people, it also goes to show like, you know how people,
01:25:32
urfavoritecoastersux
Did you say Mount Olympus?
01:25:39
urfavoritecoastersux
Anyway, go ahead.
01:25:44
beb
ah I don't know. I feel like people really understate parks, abilities to squeeze in new coasters. Um, you know, like, cause that's the, that's the thing you pretty much hear about every park is like, they don't have room to build anything new. And then like, you know, they build a new ride and it's like squeezed in somewhere. It's like parks are pretty creative. Anyone who's played rollercoaster tycoon knows there's never a shortage of space to build a new ride.
01:26:14
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, it's all about the budget.
01:26:14
beb
I mean, essentially this is, yeah, I mean, this is essentially going in where a boomerang was, like they
01:26:26
urfavoritecoastersux
The only thing I think they could have done better with this.
01:26:26
beb
figured it out. They know what they're doing.
01:26:31
urfavoritecoastersux
Is put a fucking tunnel on it.
01:26:33
beb
Yeah. Or at least like a trench, you know, something.
01:26:46
beb
But I mean, understandably it is, they do try to, you know, squeeze that budget as long, as much as I can. So, but, um, yeah.
01:26:59
urfavoritecoastersux
It's a new coaster, so I'll take it.
01:27:02
beb
Yeah. And it's 180 feet tall. I mean, that's pretty, that's pretty good.
01:27:12
urfavoritecoastersux
Seriously, it looks like there'll be a good view based off of that animation.
01:27:22
beb
And it's a good, it also like, it's a good centerpiece because it's, I mean, that's one thing that's been lacking since deja vu deja vu was a good centerpiece. Cause you had those two giant towers and the vibrant colors.
01:27:34
beb
And then since they took that out, there's like nothing in the middle of the park. And this is a good, like, this is going to be a good like centerpiece.
01:27:44
beb
Um, yeah, I'm excited.
01:27:48
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, now they just need a big ah fucking weenie on the east side of the park.
01:27:49
beb
I'm actually,
01:28:00
beb
I mean, if they take out, if they take out roaring rapids and one of the flumes, they could literally fit a giga coaster. They're not saying they will do that or they should, but do you know, just hypothetically, like, cause that's, I was just scrolling through YouTube comments and that's like, there's already people talking about like how there's no more space for anything new.
01:28:26
beb
And I mean, like, I don't know what, I don't know how popular the rapids ride is, but I mean, that takes up a shit ton of space.
01:28:31
urfavoritecoastersux
They barely operated.
01:28:33
beb
Yeah. And I know they don't, I don't know if they really need both flumes. I mean, it would suck to see one of them go, but if they needed to take one out, like, I mean, they got a huge chunk of space left.
01:28:52
urfavoritecoastersux
I don't like the idea of removing flumes but Roaring Rapids I think could go because fucking Orleans Place needs some help yeah Roaring
01:28:59
beb
Yeah. Oh, for sure.
01:29:06
beb
Yeah. I mean, especially since they took out, uh, that hangover ride. I mean, yeah, there's like nothing there.
01:29:20
beb
I mean, who knows?
01:29:20
urfavoritecoastersux
Rapids is closed most of the time
01:29:20
beb
I know.
01:29:24
beb
Yeah. And I mean, I know this is a very profitable park for them. So like, I would guess within, you know, a couple of years, we'll probably get something new, pretty big. I don't know.
01:29:35
beb
Cause it it almost seems like whenever people talk about great America, every time they build something new, they almost act as if it's like the end of possibilities is like, Oh man, they've built this.
01:29:47
beb
We're never gonna, now we're never going to get a bigger ride than this, but you know, time moves on. And I'm sure they'll, I'm sure they got other plans.
01:29:57
urfavoritecoastersux
I remember. Do you remember fucking. Project Tumbleweed.
01:30:05
beb
Yeah.
01:30:09
urfavoritecoastersux
And how that kicked around for years and years and then ah we finally got X flight.
01:30:09
beb
I mean, they.
01:30:15
beb
Yeah. And technically the free spin.
01:30:22
urfavoritecoastersux
yeah so like I feel like they always like the shit you hear rumors about it it might just be rumors but it also might be just concepts that you won't see materialized for years
01:30:42
beb
Yeah. I mean, what other rumors are left? So like there was project tumbleweed and that, uh, that eventually happened kind of in two different ways. The dive coaster played out. The wooden coaster played out. I remember when that was a thing, when like back in, I don't know, oh seven, oh eight. And people were talking about like a GCI or a gravity group. And then we ended up getting the RMC wooden coaster. I mean, that was a pretty big deal.
01:31:12
beb
I know I think the only rumor that's really left is RM seeing American Eagle.
01:31:13
urfavoritecoastersux
How dare you?
01:31:20
beb
But I also don't see that necessarily happening. I could see maybe like a refurb or like a like a refresh.
01:31:28
beb
um I don't see them fucking with that structure to get it racing again.
01:31:35
beb
um
01:31:36
urfavoritecoastersux
Agreed. I think if they do anything to it, they're just gonna knock it down.
01:31:41
beb
Yeah.
01:31:46
beb
I also heard the whole thing about if they do knock it down, they can't build that close to the road anymore. That the ride is like grandfathered in or something.
01:32:01
urfavoritecoastersux
Interesting, but I mean hey Then maybe they would RMC it I don't know
01:32:10
beb
Either way, I'm pretty excited. I might have to,
01:32:15
beb
Yeah, I mean, if they do arm seed, I could also see them just arm seen like one side. I don't know if they would do the whole twisted colossus thing. As cool as that would be. That's the other thing, too. It's like if Six Flags arm sees it. That's thing like so I don't know. Twisted Colossus is obviously cool, but they definitely like. Took out a lot of potential. I mean, that that was like a double. I mean, it was a double.
01:32:45
beb
You know, figure eight, and then they turned it into like a single oval, which the end result was still cool, but I do. I did feel like they kind of like, I don't know. They had more potential than they really, like they had more potential than what they actually executed on. I don't know if they would build a Mobius for American Eagle.
01:33:08
urfavoritecoastersux
I don't think the layout would lend itself well to that.
01:33:12
beb
Yeah, I mean, you really can only go out. You can only go out back. And I could also see something to where, like, instead of doing anything with the helix, they just knock the helix down and just turn that ending turnaround into like an emblem in.
01:33:27
beb
Or something like a dive loop.
01:33:29
urfavoritecoastersux
I mean if they did it right I could see it being pretty cool with like a death roll turn for the outside track like a downwards death roll and then like one of those like wave turns upward for the inside track that'd be pretty fucking cool
01:33:36
beb
Mm hmm.
01:33:46
beb
yeah
01:33:51
beb
Yeah.
01:33:59
urfavoritecoastersux
but it's RMC so you know it'd be like doing fucking flippy-doos before it got to the helix as if the airtime on those first two hills wasn't already good
01:34:07
beb
Yeah. I mean, like the whole. Yeah. Yeah, they'd make them like bang through like, I don't know, wave turns or make them wonky somehow.
01:34:21
beb
Like, uh, that's why I wish they would sometimes.
01:34:24
urfavoritecoastersux
and the first hill On the first hill, one track would zero G roll over the other, and then on the second hill, the the other track would zero G roll over the other.
01:34:35
beb
Yeah, that'd be cool.
01:34:49
beb
I'm curious, this has three trains?
01:34:55
beb
I think so, yeah.
01:34:56
urfavoritecoastersux
What eagle?
01:34:58
beb
No, on ah on Wrath of Rakshasa.
01:35:03
urfavoritecoastersux
Oh, I hope so.
01:35:05
beb
Yeah, I can't imagine it wouldn't have three trains.
01:35:23
beb
Hopefully I'm all I'm excited to ride it in 2026.
01:35:30
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, I'm like, I mean, I'll probably end up back at the park next year, but I'm not expecting the ride to be open.
01:35:42
beb
Then again, though, I mean, Great America has never really had a problem with opening rides on time. Well, some exceptions, but.
01:35:51
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, I would.
01:35:53
urfavoritecoastersux
I would question that as the producer of a his history ah documentary podcast about the history of Great America.
01:36:06
beb
Oh nice, someone already made a no limits to version of it.
01:36:12
urfavoritecoastersux
Of course. um So. Wrath of Rakhshasa or Griffin. What's your pick?
01:36:30
beb
um I don't know.
01:36:34
beb
I mean, those old school dive coasters are like kind of in a different league than the many ones. Which is good, because I feel like.
01:36:43
urfavoritecoastersux
Well, Rakhshasa is not really a mini one.
01:36:49
beb
No, but it is like the it's the smaller trains, though. I don't know, because I feel like they're kind of into there's like they're kind of in two classes because you got the like.
01:37:02
beb
Dr. Diabolical, and then you've got the that one they built in San Diego. You got the Iron Menace, and then you got the big ones, like Gold Striker.
01:37:16
beb
They're kind of in different camp they're kind of different camps.
01:37:16
urfavoritecoastersux
this is a rock shot says eight across though oh seven across okay I counted the animation run
01:37:22
beb
No, it's seven.
01:37:31
beb
It's 7 across with vest restraints.
01:37:38
beb
Which is also kind of weird.
01:37:44
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, why the fuck is it seven across? Why the fuck is it 21 riders per train? That's so weird.
01:37:59
urfavoritecoastersux
Well, I'm excited. So you got a trip coming up, right, bud?
Impromptu DC Area Trip
01:38:08
beb
Yeah. So, um, I, uh, kind of impulsively booked a trip to the DC area. Cause, um, it's kind of the last region I need to hit for new coasters. So I'm going to hit, um, six flags America on Friday. And then Bush gardens, Europe on Saturday, and then Kings, dominion on Sunday.
01:38:36
beb
So I'm actually, I'm actually pretty excited because, um, other than, I mean, last year I did the three days at the Florida parks, but, um, so I'm trying to, I'm trying to do at least one weekend coaster trip a year. And so I got a couple of new credits to pick up and I'm excited to ride, um, like Pantheon and get some new rides on.
01:39:06
beb
Like sick, hopefully ah Superman at six flags, America's open and get on dominate or or not dominate. Oh yeah. Dominator and I through a five and then twist timbers. So if all goes well, if the parks aren't slammed, um, yeah, I'm looking forward to it. I was thinking of doing the quick queue at Bush gardens just to not deal with lines. I don't know how busy the park's really going to be though.
01:39:39
beb
Because Pantheon...
01:39:40
urfavoritecoastersux
They could probably purchase day of.
01:39:47
beb
Wait, what was that?
01:39:49
urfavoritecoastersux
You could probably purchase day of like wait and see how long the lines are.
01:39:53
beb
Yeah. Yeah, I probably don't need, like, a flash pass at Six Flags America on a Friday. I can't imagine that's, like, super busy. um And then, yeah, King's Dominion should be fine.
01:40:08
beb
without any kind of fast lane. Especially since um people always say that I-305 is typically a walk-on.
01:40:20
urfavoritecoastersux
yeah that's what i've heard as well
01:40:27
beb
Yeah, I mean the only variety I could see having like kind of a big line would be like Twisted Timbers and then
01:40:33
urfavoritecoastersux
tabali
01:40:36
beb
Oh, yeah, I'm probably going to like that that at that park. There's a few rides. I'd be fine skipping.
01:40:40
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah,
01:40:41
beb
Like I don't need the rides in Bali. I don't need the ride flight of fear. um Would like to get on the bobsled and like grizzly and stuff like that.
01:40:47
urfavoritecoastersux
that's what I've heard as well.
01:40:53
beb
Oh, yeah, new grizzly. Get to check that out.
01:40:57
urfavoritecoastersux
yeah
01:41:01
beb
um Wait, they got rid of gett rebel yell, right?
01:41:08
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah No, it's called racers 72 now
01:41:09
beb
Or no, it's... What is it, racer? That's right, yeah.
01:41:23
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, sounds like a good trip, dude.
01:41:24
beb
Yeah, so...
01:41:25
urfavoritecoastersux
I haven't been out there in shit 20 years.
01:41:34
beb
Yeah, hopefully the weather holds up and I should probably check the weather.
01:41:40
beb
It would suck if it's like a total rain out. That would be my luck.
01:41:53
beb
Oh yeah, also Canada's Wonderland.
01:41:54
urfavoritecoastersux
well then you definitely won't need quick Q yeah that red looks pretty sick yeah that's gonna suck
01:41:55
beb
They're getting a.
01:41:58
beb
Yeah, for sure.
01:42:02
beb
Um, I was gonna say to you Canada's Wonderland. Also getting a new coaster.
01:42:08
beb
They're getting a premiere.
01:42:11
beb
Yeah, it looks really, that ride looks really cool. However, I don't know why they're doing a two train premier ride at that park with how busy that ride gets or how busy that park gets. Cause I was like, just doing the quick, I was just doing the quick math on that one. And like, I think someone pointed out that it's only going to really get, it's only going to be able to hit like, wait, let's see, 18.
01:42:41
beb
something like 50 dispatches a minute, eight or a 50 dispatches an hour. Yeah. So like 900 optimal 900, uh, people per hour, which isn't much for that park. So if they're open, if they're only open for like eight hours a day at most, yeah, that's like 7,000 guests, which I imagine is like,
01:43:09
beb
way under the amount of guests that park actually gets in a day.
01:43:17
urfavoritecoastersux
So you're going to want to rope drop or buy a flash pass.
01:43:23
beb
Yeah.
01:43:29
urfavoritecoastersux
But the ride does look cool.
01:43:30
beb
Yeah, that, oh yeah, with Oh yeah. And plus two with the, yeah, I mean with the fast lane taking up 40% of seats on the ride, that means that standby line is only going to move like 500 people per hour, which is like basically what deja vu did it in an hour.
01:44:00
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah but at least you get to watch it twice as much.
01:44:04
beb
Yeah.
01:44:11
beb
I mean, either way though, it looks pretty, it looks pretty cool. I mean, that's like premier rides are always super intense and like they have that, um, the, the inversions always have that like stand up air time in the inversions, which is pretty cool.
01:44:24
beb
So, um, yeah, see it's pretty, I guess that's so far from what we've seen.
01:44:29
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, it looks awesome.
01:44:32
beb
It's pretty exciting.
01:44:39
urfavoritecoastersux
Definitely looks fucking awesome. Well, um I know ah not exactly a long episode, but also not a short one either. I'm like in the middle of the move, though.
01:45:00
urfavoritecoastersux
So I have to unfortunately get right back to it.
01:45:04
beb
Yeah, ah for sure.
01:45:09
urfavoritecoastersux
Not to try and cut it short, but like I said.
01:45:10
beb
Yeah, you got a lot of things coming up.
01:45:13
urfavoritecoastersux
Yeah, I will make some time next week for sure.
01:45:18
beb
Okay, cool. Yeah, I'll be around.
01:45:22
