Speaker 1 (00:01):
From the theme park Capital of the World, Orlando, Florida.
This is the Theme Park Podcast. Wait the podcast?
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Is this a radio?
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Why does everything gotta be so messy on this station?
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Anyway?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Here's your hosts, Dickerman, Jimmy d and Scott Harris.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
Hey there, and welcome to the Theme Park Podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Dickerman here, there is j.
Speaker 5 (00:25):
D Rip Disney Channel, and Scott Harris.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
What's going on? Happy spooky season?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Everyone? Scott? Stop with that.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Scott had a confused look on his face when you
said rip Disney Channel.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Is it still a thing? Is it gone? I don't.
I don't even know anymore.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Disney Channel and Disney Junior are ceasing broadcasting on January first.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Oh, I didn't know that, Scott. Did you know that? No,
no more d coms?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Well there, I mean there will still be d coms.
They'll just be called something else and they'll be on
Disney Plus and they'll be on Disney Plus.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, once you have Disney Plus, does
it really make sense to have, I guess a broadcast
channel anymore.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
I don't understand like broadcast TV anymore because I don't
so few people have it, Like, Hey, are you watching Yellowstone.
I'm like, well, not the new season, because who has TV?
Who has like cable? I don't have that, Scott.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
You have it.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I have Hulu with live TV.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Oh that thing. It's expensive.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, but you know what it means, I can do
watch a Yellowstone, watch things as they happen and not
have to wait.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
I do feel really disconnected from the world without like
like broadcast TV, because I don't see like I don't
see commercials for movies. I'm like, oh, man, venom already
came out, and it already came and went, and I
missed the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah, that's that's that's how it works.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
I think that speaks more to your age than it
has to do with a you know, with broadcast television.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
I I don't, I don't. I don't get I don't.
I don't hear radio commercials, don't hear TV commercials.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
So I'm not sure where I would see it unless
I get like YouTube, which I skip immediately.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Well, why don't you just use Peacock to like watch
it like the next day.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Well, I know Peacock doesn't have it. They won't have
it because it's a paramount product.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yeah, but no, they won't. But Peacock bought the rights too.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
He almost, but they won't be able to put it
out on Peacock for like six months.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Probably.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
It's a very confusing thing. Yeah, it's it's a it's
a it's a mess.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Why don't you just buy an antenna and then watch
it when it happens.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
And it will probably be the most crisp signal you've
got you can get now, you.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Can buy one of those for twenty bucks.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
I know out the apkey antennas don't seem to work
out in the boondocks for some reason. I cannot get
one to work in my house to save my life.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Dickerman, you got to stop taking a wire and tinfoil. Yeah,
you stop taking a wire hanger and trying to shove
it into the coaxable input.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
You just will get yourself an antenna.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
He's probably he's shoving it into the eighth Well, it
should be HDMI too. Why is it in this working? Child?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Hold it up higher as you should go.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
All right, Well, we do have a whole bunch of
news this week, and Scott is this almost all like
Disney just dumped a whole bunch of news on us
all at once.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, I think they did. I think it was just like, hey, guys,
we've got a lot to say. We'll just say it
all one day, so.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Spread it out. Let's not you know, you know, one
thing here for a week than here for a week. Guys,
just all at once.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
They did that information dump to bury the Disney Channel
going away thing.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
No, they did it to deflect from the Muppet News.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Oh that could be it too.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah, people are still not happy about that.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
The still happy. I mean they're getting a hole, they're
getting the rock and roller coaster. It's an upgrade for
the Muppets. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Muppet Vision three D was the last thing that Jim
Henson did. It is a historical like item and it
was a thing that all ages could do. All ages
cannot do rock and roller coaster.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yeah, you can stick a baby on that thing.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
No, I mean you can't, like physically, you cannot.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Oh wow, there's a there's a height restriction.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
You can't like Bart Simpson's.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Yeah, even in countries where they don't care about safety standards,
they have a height restriction.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Oh you know, since my daughter is no longer like
under the highway as soon as she was passed all
the height restrictions. I quit paying attention to them, so
exactly anymore. Yeah, it doesn't matter to me any longer,
and I no longer care about this. It doesn't affect me,
so I don't. I don't pay any attention to it.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Just like when you go to a concert now, you
don't really pay attention if it's an all ages show
or not.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yeah, that's true, that is true. What are their kids
doing here?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Well, they announced the first up that Dinosaur will be
closing in twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Six. Oh so we got a whole year to still
enjoy Dinosaur. Yeah, you do.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
While you're visiting, make sure you go get that Dino
at Dinosaur. We've previoly shared this attraction will be closing
to make way for the new Tropical America's Land. Twenty
twenty five is your year to visit before it goes extinct.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
All right, So go ride Dinosaur. You got plenty of time.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
There's no rush, but I guess just go do it
and it will beat you up.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Because Dinosaur does rock you around a little bit.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Well, what I'm taking from this is Indiana Jones twenty thirty.
We're gonna go with now.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Probably yeah, okay probably.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Yeah, at Jimmy, if you watch the Imagineering documentary, which
I'm sure you have because Scott and I have told
you how great it is and how much you personally
would love it. Uh, maybe Scott, they'll get to that
point where they can do that full three sixty like
they showed esflentially in their first plans for Indiana.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Jones, Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
What that what the front flip or you rew or
you rewatching?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yeah, all of that, all the things.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
It's literally made for you.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I mean all I've never seen this show sow up
your alley that you refuse to watch. It was like
it basically says, this was made for Jimmy D. A
love letter to Jimmy D. Please watch this. Jimmy's like, nah,
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
If you know. If you don't want to watch that one,
there's another one called Behind the Attraction, which does each
episode on a different type of attraction. One episode is
about Jungle Cruise. This is the one that's produced by
the Rock.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Cover the Jingle Cruise.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
It doesn't covers Jingle Cruise, but there's also an episode
about in Nana Jones.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Wow, I actually need to watch that.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
There's an episode about Star Toars.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
I watched that one.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
You could watch all of them, there's only like twelve.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I'm excited to see, uh what Star Tours looks like
in Japan because it's completely different. It's got like a
whole like different aesthetic on the outside that's different than
any other one.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Well have you watched uh you watched Skeleton Crew yet?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
No? Oh, I gotta download that.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
And well I'm like a couple hours away from hopping
on a plane.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
So yeah, you go over to Europe. Are you going
to go to uh, you're gonna go to Paris Disneyland.
We're not making it to France's time.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
And because we're not, we we had a one one
day trip day trip to leave England and it was
either Brussels or Paris. And Lauren's like, I'm not spending
my one day in Paris at Disneyland. So we're going
to Brussels.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
And you at that point you said to just say, yeah, okay,
well I understand no.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
At that point you say fine, you go deal. I agree,
and then you buy tickets to Walt Disney Studios, which
is right next door.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
It's another option.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I mean she said no to Disneyland Paris, So could
you not have just extended the trip by two days?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Like, if I'm going to England, I'm like, I'm really
gonna stretch that thing out as far as I can.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
I'm already going to be gone a long time because
on the way back we stop.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
In New York for two nights. All right, well, fair enough,
you can go to Disney New York. Then while you're
there the Disney store in Times Square. I don't know,
you can just you can see all the Disney characters
out out on Times Square and take your picture with him,
because they do it for free.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I know, yes, it's for free.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I know why he's not going to Disneyland Paris.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I figured this out.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
He's going to go to the Harry He's going to
do the Harry Potter Studio tour.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
That makes sense. That makes sense. He does have a
robe and a wand exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
He just doesn't want to tell us that.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
There was a point where I had Pinewood Studios on
my list of things. Let's see and come to do
some research. There's really nothing to see. They've really made
it anti stories. Yes, there's nothing. There is not even
a gift you have to go to. It's just uh,
don't come over here. There's nothing for you.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
But you can go to the studio tour.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
We don't want you.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
It's all decorated up for Christmas.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna do that. Sounds nice.
We're gonna go to the Christmas movie. It may be,
but I've never seen it.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
So well, they're right now. They're showing on the Food Network,
in HBO, Max and all the Wonder Brother family of channels.
They have the Harry Potter Baking Challenge, which is hosted
by the Weasley Twins. Okay, and I think two episodes ago,
Warwick Davis, your guy, was one of the guest judges.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Uh do you remember that night we went out to
Hagrid's for the opening.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah, one member of the show almost didn't come back.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Deckerman had like eighteen straw sticking out of his mouth
from all the butter bears.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
He've been drinking a lot of butter beers.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Sc twice, even though we weren't supposed to.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
All those people that Scott just were there.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yeah, well you can but they're there again. That there's
there there again.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
I'm good okay, all right, all right, let's move on
to some theme parks instead of talking about my vacation.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
All right, okay, so there's that's dinosaur, Dinosaur figured out. Zootopia.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Remember this is gonna be taking over the the It's
tough to be a bug show.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
That will be happening, uh winter, Judy Hot, winter of
next year.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Okay, So a lot of work being done in Animal
Kingdom over the next two years.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
It seems like Zutopia better zoogether, zoogether together.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Yeah, it took us, see what they're saying, everybody, everybody
worked together on this.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
We're all one. Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
So that'll be that'll be winter of next year. They've
got to deal with they're gonna kick that. They got
to deal with some bugs.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
So that'll be pretty much all this year. They'll be
working on that until they open it next year. Yes,
and as soon as they finish that, then they go
right into work on a dinosaur.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Bouncing over to Epcot.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Mm hmmm. They're done there. There's nothing else new to
be done.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
There, no test track.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Oh geez that things still down.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, it's gonna be down for a while.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
What are we doing now?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
They will be going a full summer without a big
attraction over there.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Well, they got guardians, but you can't get on it.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Well, Test Track three point zero will open late summer
twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Okay, all right, so all right, but.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Testing will begin early in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
All right, So do you think with test track staying closed,
we're gonna get the opportunity to remove that ridiculous uh
situation with the guardians or that is permanent because they
don't have a proper line set of ride.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Yes, okay, that wasn't an answer.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
But okay, I mean well, I mean I feel like
you can I feel like you can.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Do There's no there's no room for there's no room
for a.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Queue because.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
But there's a Q inside like as a Now, look,
we wrote it ice and my memory the best. But
like the Q, it's not pretty dang long. But it's
not around quite a few places.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
It's not long enough for like a dead of summer.
This place is packed. It's a two hour wait.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Yeah, well, don't get on the right, then shut it
down after two hours.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
We'll close it down on though. When the line gets full.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Move a moose over from Canada to stand in front
of the ride.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Yes, sorry's line's closed. I don't know that sign outside.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
I don't understand why Dickerman is so anti technology with
the virtuals.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
It's not technology, it's annoying. Who wants to get up
at seven am in the morning to try and get
a ride that you want to You gotta go pay
one hundred and fifty bucks to go to theme park
for no.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
No, I'm in. I'm in complete agreement with Dickerman. It
should You should not have to have a lottery system
to potentially get to ride one of the best rides
and ruin your entire day.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
If I want to wait three hours to get on
that damn thing, let me wait three hours to get
on it exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
No, I am in. I am in a complete agreement
with you on that it should not have to I
should not be.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Good anti I just that's a stupid Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I shouldn't be proficient at technology to have to do this,
Like No, I'm sure you should not have to like
have a smartphone to be able to do this. Like
it's just me. This is going to a theme park.
I know inherently I'm gonna wait in a lot if
I choose to wait in a line that's three hours long.
That's on me.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
And if you come from Canada or England and your
one goal at the park that day, it's right, Guardians,
you should have that opportunity.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Yeah, oh yeah, seven am mayish shot. You don't have to.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
You can just buy lightningly, yes exactly. I will spend
four hundred dollars to guarantee I should. I'm gonna say
just the just the one, right, it's like fifteen right, No, No,
I don't want also say I went to Magic Kingdommore.
I went to Magic Kingdom on a rope drop the
day before and I did the entire day. I now
(14:46):
have to get home at or back to my hotel
at midnight, and I'm tired. I walked twelve miles that day.
I have to be up at six fifty five the
next day to make sure that I that I get
this reservation.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
And maybe you don't still exactly guarantee I've tried it
at seven am and not gotten it.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yeah, and and then my day and then my day
is ruined.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
But those things are gone within a minute. Yeah, yeah,
I just that's a dumb sense. I think it's an
idiotic system. And I also believe that Disney she tires
Scott and I as consultants, and definitely not Jimmy because
Jimmy's wrong.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
No, that that's uh moving off. Because you have a
diversion to technology doesn't mean that I'm.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
It's not a technology diversion, that's an idiocy diversion.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
That's that's what I have, and a diversion to idiocy
ironic uses of technology.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Well, moving on to other places in Epcot, Okay, the
Spaceship Earth Lounge will be opening before summer twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
And this is just like, uh, like quick bites.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
There's a bar.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Oh yeah, you got any quick bites to the bar?
Speaker 4 (16:02):
I mean maybe idn't get like some ge sticks, some
space sticks.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
You can get a spaces yep nub.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Some yubnub wrong space I think, Oh I.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Still want to do that other place right there, the
space two twenty Yeah, like.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
You hear nothing about that. It's like they're a super.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Possible because yes, no one can get in.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Who's going I want to I just want to talk
to somebody who's gone. I actually know a few people
that have been.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Yeah, buzz buzz, Aldrin Neil Armstrong. M I ever heard
of them?
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Those guys?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yeah, John Glenn, Tommy Hanks.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
There the poor guy that got left in the space
module that just orbited the or the the moon.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Nobody else talks about that guy.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
No, no, hey, Michael, Yeah, keep us keep the thing going.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
We're just gonna check get out. Don't worry. It's cool.
We'll let you come next. Okay, cool.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
At first I thought you were talking about the Russian
guy from Armageddon that was just in the space station
for like eighteen months by himself.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
No, that's the current.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
That's our current astronauts stuck up in space because Boeing
doesn't how to make a spacecraft.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
But they're not a load. They're not a load like
he was.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
They were supposed to be there for a weekend, been
I don't know how many months now, you know.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Isn't it mirror like that?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
It was a mere Yeah, it was mere.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Here's the thing, though, they're better off.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Being in space.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Yeah, yeah here right now. I don't think it's good
for your body though, especially if you're not prepared for it. No,
you just have to make sure you exercise. There is
the things around that you're getting time and a half.
They're fine. Lawsuit when they get back, Dogs and Sunshine
(17:58):
right now, when they get back, it's a sixty billion
dollar lawsuit against Boeing.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Didn't they pay to be humless?
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Oh? I think they were, Like they were paid.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
I think they were astronauts there as they're legit NASA astronauts. Yeah,
they're prepared for this. This is a once in a
lifetime opportunity. They're fine, Okay, they are suffering.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Okay, all right, I can't get I can't get a
coming to cuts for uh for the space two twenty
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I looked Party of three. Nothing available in the next
ten days.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yeah, I don't have any doubt.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I mean, to be fair, I should have tried Party
of one because you guys are never around at a
theme park when I'm there.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
You actively like hide from us. It's like playing Where's
Waldo with Scott.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Where's Waldo? No, it's not.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Where's Waldough because what Waldo wants to be found? This
guy's Carmen san Diego.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
He's like, yeah, he's got like trackers on us.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Oh they're getting close. Better move.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
That's the the beauty of YouTube. Being tallest, I'm able
to spot you guys easier.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Yeah, and we're slow and old.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
So yeah, and you can easily tag Dickerman because of
his aversion to U technology. This is true, honestly. I
bet you you should check your ears because I bet
one of them's got a little lot. Like you know
how they trank a shark, they put that and they
put that tag into thin. I bet you that's in
(19:26):
one of your ears.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
It probably is.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Speaking of taverns or lounges, the Pirates of the Caribbean
theme tavern is opening at the Magic Kingdom late twenty
twenty five.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Oh wow, they're doing a lot of work over there.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
I just don't know how that tavern is not going
to be just like an S show the whole time,
just like everybody being drunk and just like buffoonery.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
I need it'll be packed, yeah, hey, oh yeah, wall
to wall people. You can't get it good.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
You know what I wanted to be packed? Less of
a line for Tron.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
You can get. You can just get in the Tron
line now right.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
You don't have to get exactly exactly.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
So with this tavern, is there a bar fight attraction
that you can get?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Look, I'm not gonna guess anything. Based on the concept
art that is out. Okay, okay, after what has happened
with so many things, I'm not because in in the
concept art, yes there is there's a there is a
pirate standing on the bar with a sword out and
a peg legged parrot flying in front of him.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Do this finally, Well, yeah, I'm not gonna believe.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
I'm not gonna believe the peg leg pirate bird until
I see my own eyes exactly.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
This might be, This might be an actual solution.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
You know, and people people do you get wound up
inside the park. Sometimes they want to fight. Let's just
give him a space to do, all right, you guys
want to fight about the Dumbo attraction, Let's walk over
to Pirates of the Caribbean.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
You can fight in the tavern. Okay, no this, No, If.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
You're gonna start riling people up, you get thrown in
the Pirates of the Caribbean jail.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
I like that idea too. Yes, just put them in
there all day. You can get out when the park closes.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Or or there's a dog with some keys.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Maybe you can whistle to them. It'll bring them to
you exactly.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
When it can no longer smell alcohol in your breath.
It'll bring you the key to the cell exactly.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yeah, yes, speaking of the Magic Kingdom, The Central Florida
Tourism Oversight District has requested a sixty day extension for
the ongoing discussions between the state and Walt Disney World
over a permit that would be the first step in
the demolition and development of the area for the Rivers
(21:50):
of America section of the park.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Oh so this, this is that whole new area where
they're gonna take out the beloved Tom Sawyer's Island.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Yes, I'm guessing this has something to do it says
here Brian Dickerman is consulting on how to remove the water.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
I still don't know how they move all that water
at once. Pipes. Yeah, it's got to go somewhere.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Pipes like six to ten people and straws.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
They just tell you it's butter beer and then it
goes away.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Make it disappear.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
That's gonna be like three years away, right, We're not
gonna see that for a long time.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Construction when they announced it wasn't supposed to begin until
twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Oh yeah, we're gonna see that. It'll be close to
twenty thirty.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
When it's done, it's still Yeah, at that board is
asking for a six month extension, so it's now you're
into the beginning of twenty twenty six before they can
break round.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Yeah, we're into the extension would go until February for
just permitting.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Yeah, and they say, they say't universal. They don't pop
up a theme park in a couple of days. It
takes a while over there.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
In lastly, we got some details about Villain's Unfairly Ever
After the Villain Show, which will be going next to
Aerosmith featuring rock and roller coaster.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Yes, yes, a villain Is this this is a test,
you said, that's my guest, this is this is just
want to do a larger.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Your speculation guests on my part.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Sure, but it's it's a good guess. It's a good Uh,
it's a good hypothesis, I would say.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
And it does they show that will future Corella, Captain
Hook and the Leficent as they break through the glass
to take center stage and captivate the audience with witty
humor in mischievous charm.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
I think that'll be a popular show.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
I think I think that'll be flocked too, especially by
the Ataelt audience.
Speaker 2 (23:47):

This is the Theme Park Podcast. Wait the podcast?
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Is this a radio?
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Why does everything gotta be so messy on this station?
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Anyway?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Here's your hosts, Dickerman, Jimmy d and Scott Harris.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
Hey there, and welcome to the Theme Park Podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Dickerman here, there is j.
Speaker 5 (00:25):
D Rip Disney Channel, and Scott Harris.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
What's going on? Happy spooky season?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Everyone? Scott? Stop with that.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Scott had a confused look on his face when you
said rip Disney Channel.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Is it still a thing? Is it gone? I don't.
I don't even know anymore.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Disney Channel and Disney Junior are ceasing broadcasting on January first.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Oh, I didn't know that, Scott. Did you know that? No,
no more d coms?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Well there, I mean there will still be d coms.
They'll just be called something else and they'll be on
Disney Plus and they'll be on Disney Plus.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, once you have Disney Plus, does
it really make sense to have, I guess a broadcast
channel anymore.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
I don't understand like broadcast TV anymore because I don't
so few people have it, Like, Hey, are you watching Yellowstone.
I'm like, well, not the new season, because who has TV?
Who has like cable? I don't have that, Scott.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
You have it.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I have Hulu with live TV.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Oh that thing. It's expensive.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, but you know what it means, I can do
watch a Yellowstone, watch things as they happen and not
have to wait.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
I do feel really disconnected from the world without like
like broadcast TV, because I don't see like I don't
see commercials for movies. I'm like, oh, man, venom already
came out, and it already came and went, and I
missed the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah, that's that's that's how it works.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
I think that speaks more to your age than it
has to do with a you know, with broadcast television.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
I I don't, I don't. I don't get I don't.
I don't hear radio commercials, don't hear TV commercials.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
So I'm not sure where I would see it unless
I get like YouTube, which I skip immediately.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Well, why don't you just use Peacock to like watch
it like the next day.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Well, I know Peacock doesn't have it. They won't have
it because it's a paramount product.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yeah, but no, they won't. But Peacock bought the rights too.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
He almost, but they won't be able to put it
out on Peacock for like six months.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Probably.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
It's a very confusing thing. Yeah, it's it's a it's
a it's a mess.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Why don't you just buy an antenna and then watch
it when it happens.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
And it will probably be the most crisp signal you've
got you can get now, you.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Can buy one of those for twenty bucks.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
I know out the apkey antennas don't seem to work
out in the boondocks for some reason. I cannot get
one to work in my house to save my life.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Dickerman, you got to stop taking a wire and tinfoil. Yeah,
you stop taking a wire hanger and trying to shove
it into the coaxable input.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
You just will get yourself an antenna.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
He's probably he's shoving it into the eighth Well, it
should be HDMI too. Why is it in this working? Child?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Hold it up higher as you should go.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
All right, Well, we do have a whole bunch of
news this week, and Scott is this almost all like
Disney just dumped a whole bunch of news on us
all at once.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, I think they did. I think it was just like, hey, guys,
we've got a lot to say. We'll just say it
all one day, so.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Spread it out. Let's not you know, you know, one
thing here for a week than here for a week. Guys,
just all at once.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
They did that information dump to bury the Disney Channel
going away thing.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
No, they did it to deflect from the Muppet News.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Oh that could be it too.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah, people are still not happy about that.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
The still happy. I mean they're getting a hole, they're
getting the rock and roller coaster. It's an upgrade for
the Muppets. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Muppet Vision three D was the last thing that Jim
Henson did. It is a historical like item and it
was a thing that all ages could do. All ages
cannot do rock and roller coaster.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yeah, you can stick a baby on that thing.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
No, I mean you can't, like physically, you cannot.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Oh wow, there's a there's a height restriction.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
You can't like Bart Simpson's.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Yeah, even in countries where they don't care about safety standards,
they have a height restriction.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Oh you know, since my daughter is no longer like
under the highway as soon as she was passed all
the height restrictions. I quit paying attention to them, so
exactly anymore. Yeah, it doesn't matter to me any longer,
and I no longer care about this. It doesn't affect me,
so I don't. I don't pay any attention to it.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Just like when you go to a concert now, you
don't really pay attention if it's an all ages show
or not.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yeah, that's true, that is true. What are their kids
doing here?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Well, they announced the first up that Dinosaur will be
closing in twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Six. Oh so we got a whole year to still
enjoy Dinosaur. Yeah, you do.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
While you're visiting, make sure you go get that Dino
at Dinosaur. We've previoly shared this attraction will be closing
to make way for the new Tropical America's Land. Twenty
twenty five is your year to visit before it goes extinct.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
All right, So go ride Dinosaur. You got plenty of time.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
There's no rush, but I guess just go do it
and it will beat you up.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Because Dinosaur does rock you around a little bit.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Well, what I'm taking from this is Indiana Jones twenty thirty.
We're gonna go with now.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Probably yeah, okay probably.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Yeah, at Jimmy, if you watch the Imagineering documentary, which
I'm sure you have because Scott and I have told
you how great it is and how much you personally
would love it. Uh, maybe Scott, they'll get to that
point where they can do that full three sixty like
they showed esflentially in their first plans for Indiana.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Jones, Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
What that what the front flip or you rew or
you rewatching?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yeah, all of that, all the things.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
It's literally made for you.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I mean all I've never seen this show sow up
your alley that you refuse to watch. It was like
it basically says, this was made for Jimmy D. A
love letter to Jimmy D. Please watch this. Jimmy's like, nah,
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
If you know. If you don't want to watch that one,
there's another one called Behind the Attraction, which does each
episode on a different type of attraction. One episode is
about Jungle Cruise. This is the one that's produced by
the Rock.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Cover the Jingle Cruise.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
It doesn't covers Jingle Cruise, but there's also an episode
about in Nana Jones.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Wow, I actually need to watch that.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
There's an episode about Star Toars.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
I watched that one.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
You could watch all of them, there's only like twelve.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I'm excited to see, uh what Star Tours looks like
in Japan because it's completely different. It's got like a
whole like different aesthetic on the outside that's different than
any other one.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Well have you watched uh you watched Skeleton Crew yet?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
No? Oh, I gotta download that.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
And well I'm like a couple hours away from hopping
on a plane.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
So yeah, you go over to Europe. Are you going
to go to uh, you're gonna go to Paris Disneyland.
We're not making it to France's time.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
And because we're not, we we had a one one
day trip day trip to leave England and it was
either Brussels or Paris. And Lauren's like, I'm not spending
my one day in Paris at Disneyland. So we're going
to Brussels.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
And you at that point you said to just say, yeah, okay,
well I understand no.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
At that point you say fine, you go deal. I agree,
and then you buy tickets to Walt Disney Studios, which
is right next door.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
It's another option.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I mean she said no to Disneyland Paris, So could
you not have just extended the trip by two days?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Like, if I'm going to England, I'm like, I'm really
gonna stretch that thing out as far as I can.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
I'm already going to be gone a long time because
on the way back we stop.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
In New York for two nights. All right, well, fair enough,
you can go to Disney New York. Then while you're
there the Disney store in Times Square. I don't know,
you can just you can see all the Disney characters
out out on Times Square and take your picture with him,
because they do it for free.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I know, yes, it's for free.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I know why he's not going to Disneyland Paris.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I figured this out.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
He's going to go to the Harry He's going to
do the Harry Potter Studio tour.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
That makes sense. That makes sense. He does have a
robe and a wand exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
He just doesn't want to tell us that.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
There was a point where I had Pinewood Studios on
my list of things. Let's see and come to do
some research. There's really nothing to see. They've really made
it anti stories. Yes, there's nothing. There is not even
a gift you have to go to. It's just uh,
don't come over here. There's nothing for you.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
But you can go to the studio tour.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
We don't want you.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
It's all decorated up for Christmas.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna do that. Sounds nice.
We're gonna go to the Christmas movie. It may be,
but I've never seen it.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
So well, they're right now. They're showing on the Food Network,
in HBO, Max and all the Wonder Brother family of channels.
They have the Harry Potter Baking Challenge, which is hosted
by the Weasley Twins. Okay, and I think two episodes ago,
Warwick Davis, your guy, was one of the guest judges.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Uh do you remember that night we went out to
Hagrid's for the opening.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah, one member of the show almost didn't come back.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Deckerman had like eighteen straw sticking out of his mouth
from all the butter bears.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
He've been drinking a lot of butter beers.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Sc twice, even though we weren't supposed to.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
All those people that Scott just were there.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yeah, well you can but they're there again. That there's
there there again.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
I'm good okay, all right, all right, let's move on
to some theme parks instead of talking about my vacation.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
All right, okay, so there's that's dinosaur, Dinosaur figured out. Zootopia.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Remember this is gonna be taking over the the It's
tough to be a bug show.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
That will be happening, uh winter, Judy Hot, winter of
next year.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Okay, So a lot of work being done in Animal
Kingdom over the next two years.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
It seems like Zutopia better zoogether, zoogether together.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Yeah, it took us, see what they're saying, everybody, everybody
worked together on this.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
We're all one. Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
So that'll be that'll be winter of next year. They've
got to deal with they're gonna kick that. They got
to deal with some bugs.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
So that'll be pretty much all this year. They'll be
working on that until they open it next year. Yes,
and as soon as they finish that, then they go
right into work on a dinosaur.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Bouncing over to Epcot.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Mm hmmm. They're done there. There's nothing else new to
be done.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
There, no test track.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Oh geez that things still down.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, it's gonna be down for a while.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
What are we doing now?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
They will be going a full summer without a big
attraction over there.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Well, they got guardians, but you can't get on it.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Well, Test Track three point zero will open late summer
twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Okay, all right, so all right, but.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Testing will begin early in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
All right, So do you think with test track staying closed,
we're gonna get the opportunity to remove that ridiculous uh
situation with the guardians or that is permanent because they
don't have a proper line set of ride.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Yes, okay, that wasn't an answer.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
But okay, I mean well, I mean I feel like
you can I feel like you can.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Do There's no there's no room for there's no room
for a.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Queue because.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
But there's a Q inside like as a Now, look,
we wrote it ice and my memory the best. But
like the Q, it's not pretty dang long. But it's
not around quite a few places.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
It's not long enough for like a dead of summer.
This place is packed. It's a two hour wait.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Yeah, well, don't get on the right, then shut it
down after two hours.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
We'll close it down on though. When the line gets full.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Move a moose over from Canada to stand in front
of the ride.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Yes, sorry's line's closed. I don't know that sign outside.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
I don't understand why Dickerman is so anti technology with
the virtuals.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
It's not technology, it's annoying. Who wants to get up
at seven am in the morning to try and get
a ride that you want to You gotta go pay
one hundred and fifty bucks to go to theme park
for no.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
No, I'm in. I'm in complete agreement with Dickerman. It
should You should not have to have a lottery system
to potentially get to ride one of the best rides
and ruin your entire day.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
If I want to wait three hours to get on
that damn thing, let me wait three hours to get
on it exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
No, I am in. I am in a complete agreement
with you on that it should not have to I
should not be.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Good anti I just that's a stupid Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I shouldn't be proficient at technology to have to do this,
Like No, I'm sure you should not have to like
have a smartphone to be able to do this. Like
it's just me. This is going to a theme park.
I know inherently I'm gonna wait in a lot if
I choose to wait in a line that's three hours long.
That's on me.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
And if you come from Canada or England and your
one goal at the park that day, it's right, Guardians,
you should have that opportunity.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Yeah, oh yeah, seven am mayish shot. You don't have to.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
You can just buy lightningly, yes exactly. I will spend
four hundred dollars to guarantee I should. I'm gonna say
just the just the one, right, it's like fifteen right, No, No,
I don't want also say I went to Magic Kingdommore.
I went to Magic Kingdom on a rope drop the
day before and I did the entire day. I now
(14:46):
have to get home at or back to my hotel
at midnight, and I'm tired. I walked twelve miles that day.
I have to be up at six fifty five the
next day to make sure that I that I get
this reservation.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
And maybe you don't still exactly guarantee I've tried it
at seven am and not gotten it.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yeah, and and then my day and then my day
is ruined.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
But those things are gone within a minute. Yeah, yeah,
I just that's a dumb sense. I think it's an
idiotic system. And I also believe that Disney she tires
Scott and I as consultants, and definitely not Jimmy because
Jimmy's wrong.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
No, that that's uh moving off. Because you have a
diversion to technology doesn't mean that I'm.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
It's not a technology diversion, that's an idiocy diversion.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
That's that's what I have, and a diversion to idiocy
ironic uses of technology.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Well, moving on to other places in Epcot, Okay, the
Spaceship Earth Lounge will be opening before summer twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
And this is just like, uh, like quick bites.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
There's a bar.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Oh yeah, you got any quick bites to the bar?
Speaker 4 (16:02):
I mean maybe idn't get like some ge sticks, some
space sticks.
Speaker 3 (16:07):

for like eighteen months by himself.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
No, that's the current.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
That's our current astronauts stuck up in space because Boeing

Here's the thing, though, they're better off.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Being in space.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Yeah, yeah here right now. I don't think it's good
for your body though, especially if you're not prepared for it. No,
you just have to make sure you exercise. There is
the things around that you're getting time and a half.
They're fine. Lawsuit when they get back, Dogs and Sunshine

dollar lawsuit against Boeing.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Didn't they pay to be humless?
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Oh? I think they were, Like they were paid.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
I think they were astronauts there as they're legit NASA astronauts. Yeah,
they're prepared for this. This is a once in a
lifetime opportunity. They're fine, Okay, they are suffering.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Okay, all right, I can't get I can't get a
coming to cuts for uh for the space two twenty
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I looked Party of three. Nothing available in the next
ten days.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yeah, I don't have any doubt.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I mean, to be fair, I should have tried Party
of one because you guys are never around at a
theme park when I'm there.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
You actively like hide from us. It's like playing Where's
Waldo with Scott.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Where's Waldo? No, it's not.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Where's Waldough because what Waldo wants to be found? This
guy's Carmen san Diego.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
He's like, yeah, he's got like trackers on us.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Oh they're getting close. Better move.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
That's the the beauty of YouTube. Being tallest, I'm able
to spot you guys easier.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Yeah, and we're slow and old.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
So yeah, and you can easily tag Dickerman because of
his aversion to U technology. This is true, honestly. I
bet you you should check your ears because I bet
one of them's got a little lot. Like you know
how they trank a shark, they put that and they
put that tag into thin. I bet you that's in
(19:26):
one of your ears.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
It probably is.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Speaking of taverns or lounges, the Pirates of the Caribbean
theme tavern is opening at the Magic Kingdom late twenty
twenty five.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Oh wow, they're doing a lot of work over there.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
I just don't know how that tavern is not going
to be just like an S show the whole time,
just like everybody being drunk and just like buffoonery.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
I need it'll be packed, yeah, hey, oh yeah, wall
to wall people. You can't get it good.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
You know what I wanted to be packed? Less of
a line for Tron.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
You can get. You can just get in the Tron
line now right.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
You don't have to get exactly exactly.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
So with this tavern, is there a bar fight attraction
that you can get?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Look, I'm not gonna guess anything. Based on the concept
art that is out. Okay, okay, after what has happened
with so many things, I'm not because in in the
concept art, yes there is there's a there is a
pirate standing on the bar with a sword out and
a peg legged parrot flying in front of him.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Do this finally, Well, yeah, I'm not gonna believe.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
I'm not gonna believe the peg leg pirate bird until
I see my own eyes exactly.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
This might be, This might be an actual solution.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
You know, and people people do you get wound up
inside the park. Sometimes they want to fight. Let's just
give him a space to do, all right, you guys
want to fight about the Dumbo attraction, Let's walk over
to Pirates of the Caribbean.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
You can fight in the tavern. Okay, no this, No, If.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
You're gonna start riling people up, you get thrown in
the Pirates of the Caribbean jail.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
I like that idea too. Yes, just put them in
there all day. You can get out when the park closes.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Or or there's a dog with some keys.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Maybe you can whistle to them. It'll bring them to
you exactly.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
When it can no longer smell alcohol in your breath.
It'll bring you the key to the cell exactly.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yeah, yes, speaking of the Magic Kingdom, The Central Florida
Tourism Oversight District has requested a sixty day extension for
the ongoing discussions between the state and Walt Disney World
over a permit that would be the first step in
the demolition and development of the area for the Rivers
(21:50):
of America section of the park.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Oh so this, this is that whole new area where
they're gonna take out the beloved Tom Sawyer's Island.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Yes, I'm guessing this has something to do it says
here Brian Dickerman is consulting on how to remove the water.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
I still don't know how they move all that water
at once. Pipes. Yeah, it's got to go somewhere.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Pipes like six to ten people and straws.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
They just tell you it's butter beer and then it
goes away.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Make it disappear.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
That's gonna be like three years away, right, We're not
gonna see that for a long time.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Construction when they announced it wasn't supposed to begin until
twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Oh yeah, we're gonna see that. It'll be close to
twenty thirty.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
When it's done, it's still Yeah, at that board is
asking for a six month extension, so it's now you're
into the beginning of twenty twenty six before they can
break round.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Yeah, we're into the extension would go until February for
just permitting.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Yeah, and they say, they say't universal. They don't pop
up a theme park in a couple of days. It
takes a while over there.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
In lastly, we got some details about Villain's Unfairly Ever
After the Villain Show, which will be going next to
Aerosmith featuring rock and roller coaster.
Speaker 4 (23:15):

want to do a larger.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Your speculation guests on my part.

And it does they show that will future Corella, Captain
Hook and the Leficent as they break through the glass
to take center stage and captivate the audience with witty
humor in mischievous charm.
