Coaster Radio: The Original Theme Park Podcast

Each episode of Coaster Radio is unique. Sure, we carefully outline each episode and decide what we're going to talk about weeks in advance. But each episode seems to take on a personality of its own. Having said that, I'm not exactly sure how our episode about romance at the theme parks turned into a love-fest for the 1975 classic "JAWS." But regardless, in honor of Valentines Day we asked the audience to tell us about their favorite romantic things to do at the parks. We heard about favorite places to cuddle, to eat, to ride and yes, favorite places to make out at the parks. Yes, it's sort of gross, but it's also facinating to hear! We also have a Live Trip Report from Tokyo Disney Sea and a newcomer from beyond tries to ensure a place among the rest of the characters at CoasterRadio.com. Plus, we unveil a brand new contest related to the Neil Patrick Harris Project! Plus, we give away another prize for Facebook February! Have you "liked" us on Facebook yet?

Here at Coaster Radio, we try to focus our show on the entire theme park experience. It's really easy to spend time talking about the roller coasters and other thrill rides. But we think a little more time could be spent talking about the 2nd best reason to go to the amusement park... the food! This week, listeners from around the globe call in to tell us about the iconic food treats that can be found at their local parks. We're gonna talk about everything from the "Dole Whip" at Disneyland to the "Chip Twister" at Walibi World! We'll also talk about that ice cream treat (pictured here) that looks like a potato. The folks at the Idaho State Fair know how to make a dessert! We're also honored to be joined by Dewayne Bevil from The Orlando Sentinel. Dewayne writes for the Theme Park Rangers column and joins us this week to give us updates on some of the theme park projects in Orlando. We'll talk about the proposed Orlando Thrill Park, New Fantasyland and the Cinderella Castle Projection Show at the Magic Kingdom. Plus, we'll discuss the Wild Africa Trek at Disney's Animal Kindom and Star Wars II. We'll also have a Live Trip Report and give away some prizes for Facebook February!

In the theme park universe, there are rides that are loved by everyone. Well, almost everyone. There are probably some rides out there that you can't stand, but for some reason, everyone else in the world loves. This week, we hear from a lot of Coaster Radio listeners as they stir up controversy and talk about the popular rides they would personally get rid of at the parks. Surprisingly, this is a topic people are passionate about! You'll be shocked at some of the rides people want to dismantle. We'll also have a Live Trip Report from Australia, a new idea for CoasterRadio.com day and a visit from everyone's favorite crustacean.
