Join us for the 46th episode of the Theme Park Trader podcast!
This weeks episode is a very UnChristmassy Christmas special as we talk briefly about Christmas (we recorded on Christmas Eve) before going into a week of news that has nothing to do with the festive period!
This weeks news discussed includes:
New Details on Five Nights At Freddy’s Attraction
While the attraction still hasn’t been picked up by any major theme park yet, the guys over at Sally Corp have been working hard on new concept art which you can see below:
Dan and I discuss our thoughts on the attraction as well as which theme park could do with it in their park.
Magic Kingdom to Serve More Alcohol
We discuss the controversial news story that four more restaurants at the Magic Kingdom are now serving alcohol in the park. A reminder that these restaurants are:
- Tony’s Town Square
- Cinderella’s Royal Table
- Skipper Canteen
- Liberty Tree Tavern
We then give our thoughts on more alcohol at the park and whether we think it is a good idea or not.
Disneyland Increases Security
Disney recently increased security measures at the Disneyland Resort and we chat through our thoughts and why we think it is only ever going to be a positive thing, despite the increase in queues entering the parks.
Gasparilla Island Grill
The Gasparilla Island Grill at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa has finally reopened after being closed for refurbishment since October. We chat through why the spot is such a renowned quick service restaurant at Walt Disney World in a story that Drunk at Disney would be proud of.
RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic Released
As someone who played the original two RollerCoaster Tycoon games, I was obviously very excited when a combination of the two was released last week on both iOS and Android devices.
Dan and I chat through the release of the game and the costs of the expansion packs on your mobile/tablet devices.
You can read more on RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic here.
We end the podcast by discussing the final results from the WDW attraction tournament conducted by Designated Disney Dad.
If you enjoyed this weeks podcast, have ideas for future shows or have any questions about any of the stories then feel free to leave us a comment below!
From both Dan and myself, we hope you have had a great Christmas and have a fantastic New Year, we will see you again in episode 46 on the 2nd January!
Ryan has been attending theme parks since as long as he can remember and his first proper memory comes from when he was just three years old sitting in Main Street USA drinking a Nesquik milkshake from a carton while the piano was being played outside Casey’s Corner.
