Hello, folks! SurferClock here with a quick update. I hope you all had an excellent peak season at the parks and will be ringing in the New Year safe and sound.
TAP-G and I are taking the aforementioned winter break and enjoying the time with cherished folks, but (as Reese would say) ol' Tappers just can't stop laboring even when faced with the prospect of a break. To that point, TAP-G has posted a list of 2012's biggest events that happened at the Big Three in an interesting post that can only be seen on our Facebook page. Not a fan yet? We'd love to have ya!
What's the Attraction? on Facebook
Have a safe and happy New Year, everyone, and we'll be back next week with an all new episode!

Episode 27.5 - A Very Special and Important Holiday Message
Season's Greetings, folks! SurferClock here along with TAP-G to bring you the latest episode of What's the Attraction? ...well, sort of.
Even though today's upload is not a full episode with a review and humor and our typical WTA flair, it's still going to be bringing an important note to parkgoers...we're aiming today at those parkgoers (and there are MANY of you) who are planning to make an excursion out to at least one or more of the Big Three in our area (Disney, SeaWorld, and Universal), or if you're planning to be around, well, pretty much any theme park, even semi-major ones like Warner Bros. Movie World in Australia or any of the myriad of other Big-Three-esque parks around the world.
But we're not only reaching out to parkgoers... there's a little something for all of our friends and family who will be tackling the post-holiday rush, those intrepid folks in EVERY department of the theme park industry, so we have the sincere hope that many, many folks will get the chance to hear this before they embark on their post-holiday adventures.

As always, if you like what we do and you want to help us get bigger and better, tell a friend and send us any suggestions you might have. If you're a fan on Facebook or YouTube, comment us there.

And if you have suggestions for future episodes or anything you'd like to hear us talk about, you can also send an e-mail our way to the following address: askwtapodcast[at]gmail.com
To give you an idea of what's coming up for 2013, I'll just leave a short list of the stuff we're developing:
There will be no new episode next week, and we will return on January 7th, 2013 with an all-new episode! From all of us here at WTeamA to all of you, Happy Holidays, and may your post-holiday journeys and celebrations leading into 2013 be joyous and safe!

- Reviews for most than just attractions...we're talking shops, restaurants, and shows, too!
- SEAWORLD FLORIDA! Yes, it's sort of become the elephant in the room, the one park in the Big Three we haven't delved into just yet. We will start reviewing SeaWorld attractions, shows, and exhibits in 2013, including (hopefully) the Antarctica expansion. No word on Aquatica or Discovery Cove yet.
- Also in the realm of possibility: Legoland Florida and the Holy Land Experience. No guarantees on those yet, however.
- Reaching outside the theme park realm to cover the Orlando/Kissimmee area, being that this is where a good chunk of Florida tourists stay. No specifics on this yet, but this is one TAP-G and I have been discussing fervently.
There will be no new episode next week, and we will return on January 7th, 2013 with an all-new episode! From all of us here at WTeamA to all of you, Happy Holidays, and may your post-holiday journeys and celebrations leading into 2013 be joyous and safe!

Episode 26 - DINOSAUR
Greetings and salutations, listeners! SurferClock here along with TAP-G to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
Dinosaurs...the word alone conjures visions of great, pebbly-skinned beasts bent on roaring, eating (sometimes each other), and tromping about with their mighty feet, shaping their world...until an asteroid blew it all up some 65 million years ago. Children have been fascinated with dinosaurs for decades, and is often the first type of creature they learn more about than themselves. For some, it remains an obsession and leads to palentology and teaching careers centered around these great beasts. For others, it fuels the imagination and leads to the creation of wonderful things...like the ride at Disney's Animal Kingdom that we plan on reviewing today...DINOSAUR!
This one opened with Disney's Animal Kingdom in 1998, though under a different moniker..."Countdown to Extinction," as it was called then, provided all the thrills one could handle until a certain yeti took up residence in 2006. As Animal Kingdom's earliest thrill ride, it delivered on the promise of a good time to thousands of park visitors every day. It continues to thrill folks to this day, albeit under the more generic title of "DINOSAUR," the change coming after Disney's movie of the same name came out in 2000.
So, is this prehistoric adventure all it's cracked up to be, or does it have all the charm of a pile of coprolite? Find out with our review right here, right now!

Episode 25 - Star Tours: The Adventures Continue
Hello again, listeners! SurferClock here along with TAP-G to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
Whether you love or hate the franchise, there's no doubt as to the cultural significance of the sci-fi smash-hit series, "Star Wars." Filmmaker George Lucas could never have known that his little space fantasy film would go on to have such an immense impact of kids from generation to generation and gross a kajillion and a half dollars (note: actual amount not verified, but is said to be very close to that). The original trilogy and prequels alike remain some of the best known films in the industry, whether for greatness or infamy.
Shock and awe rolled through much of the world when, on October 30th, 2012, the entertainment mega-giant Disney would end up buying the rights to the Star Wars franchise for $4.05 billion dollars. George Lucas handed reign of the Star Wars empire down to one Kathleen Kennedy, and the rest is history just waiting to be made.
TAP-G and I, of course, have our own opinions regarding all this, but a little over a year before this acquisition, a brand new incarnation of 1989's (Walt Disney World's, anyway) Star Tours rolled out. It boasts more trips to take than just to get to Endor, 3D technology, and state-of-the-art ride simulator functions.
What's the Attraction? is proud to present (not too far from a galaxy far, far away) our review on Star Tours: The Adventures Continue! Take a listen now!

Episode 24 - Top Ten Best Attraction Songs
Greeting once more, listeners! SurferClock here along with TAP-G to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
Our episode number has hit another multiple of 6 here on What's the Attraction?, so you guys know what that means: new special episode! And now we've made it back full circle to a Top Ten episode. If you recall, our 6th episode was the Top Ten Things You'll Need This Summer. It may seem a bit dated now that it's winter, but it's never too early to start preparing for next year. We'll go ahead and leave a link right here. This was before we had cover art for each episode, even.
Anywho, this Top Ten episode was one that TAP-G and I debated over for quite some time well before we reached this episode. We decided that, to make the list an actual Top Ten and not a Top Twenty, that we had to use songs that were specifically used for the attractions for which they were written. Not only did it shorten the list, but it made all the picks Disney attraction songs...can't help it if hardly anything comes out from the Universal and SeaWorld music studios.
If nothing else, consider it a tribute and a list of some of the most influential attraction songs. Some might be more familiar to you than others, but we justify each and every selection made. If you're ready to begin the countdown, go ahead and listen in!

Episode 23 - Journey into Imagination with Figment
Hello once more, listeners! SurferClock here along with TAP-G to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
There's nothing better than a fanciful trip through the pathways of the mind, searching out ideas and inspiration. Without the use of imagination, the world would be a rather bleak place, bleaker than this cold, grey November weather that's been overtaking Central Florida...brr!
One place you can always go for a few sparks of inspiration is the Imagination! Pavilion at Epcot, which currently houses two attractions. There's Captain EO on one side of the pavilion, the retro-callback to the days gone by for both Disneyland and Walt Disney World, but then, on the other side, inside the glass-pyramids and through the automatic double doors, you'll find the third incarnation of the Journey into Imagination, "Journey into Imagination with Figment," the subject of our review today.
It's had a rather long and storied history, starting in 1983 with the opening of the original Journey into Imagination. Its colorful halls played host to two wonderful characters, Dreamfinder and Figment. Only one of them still remains with us today, and only as recently as 2002 did Figment reappear once Disney execs found out that taking a journey into YOUR imagination wasn't quite as magical.
Controversy and storied history aside, does this third incarnation still hold up today, or might we possibly be in desperate need of more imaginative ideas? Find out with our discussion, review, and rating right now!

Episode 22 - Wreck-It Ralph
Hello again, listeners! SurferClock here along with TAP-G to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
Walt Disney Animation Studios recently released the highly-anticipated film, "Wreck-It Ralph," the story of a video game villain who tires of his poor treatment by not only the good guy, but the non-player characters of the game in which he resides, "Fix-It Felix Jr." To that effect, Ralph begins "game-jumping" to prove himself a hero.
What does this have to do with reviewing theme park attractions? Well, not only does Disney's Hollywood Studios have a meet-and-greet with Ralph and Vanellope von Schweetz (from Sugar Rush, another of the film's original worlds) but DisneyQuest at Downtown Disney boasts 8 cabinets with playable versions of "Fix-It Felix Jr." and we're talking genuine arcade cabinets, folks!
We're gonna tackle it all in an episode so big that even Ralph couldn't wreck it. Join us as we take on this comprehensive coverage of Wreck-It Ralph on-screen and in-park!

Walt Disney Animation Studios recently released the highly-anticipated film, "Wreck-It Ralph," the story of a video game villain who tires of his poor treatment by not only the good guy, but the non-player characters of the game in which he resides, "Fix-It Felix Jr." To that effect, Ralph begins "game-jumping" to prove himself a hero.
What does this have to do with reviewing theme park attractions? Well, not only does Disney's Hollywood Studios have a meet-and-greet with Ralph and Vanellope von Schweetz (from Sugar Rush, another of the film's original worlds) but DisneyQuest at Downtown Disney boasts 8 cabinets with playable versions of "Fix-It Felix Jr." and we're talking genuine arcade cabinets, folks!
We're gonna tackle it all in an episode so big that even Ralph couldn't wreck it. Join us as we take on this comprehensive coverage of Wreck-It Ralph on-screen and in-park!

Episode 21 - Enchanted Tales with Belle
Hello again, listeners. SurferClock here along with TAP-G to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
We mentioned last week our excitement for getting to preview the completed portions of the New Fantasyland expansion that's set to open December 6th at the Walt Disney World Resort. Among the experiences we enjoyed were two brand new attractions...Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid (last week's review, if you didn't catch it...it's just a blog post below), and the attraction we're reviewing this week, Enchanted Tales with Belle.
Enchanted Tales with Belle isn't an -entirely- new experience. For those who've been traipsing WDW for a while, you might recognize it from the old Fairy Tale Garden that now plays host to the Merida meet and greet from Disney-Pixar's "Brave." This is most definitely an upgrade from that older experience, but should it have stayed in the Fairy Tale Garden, or is this tale-as-old-as-time right at home in its own New Fantasyland quarters? Listen to this latest review and hear for yourself!

Episode 20 - Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid
Hello again, listeners! SurferClock here along with TAP-G to bring you the newest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
We're not sure about you guys, but we can't wait until New Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom Park is open to the public. The grand unveiling isn't until December 6, 2012, but TAP-G and I have already had a chance to check out a few of the new offerings thanks to a Cast Member friend of ours. Over the next couple of weeks, we will be reviewing the new attractions and experiences that will be opening with the expansion.
This first review we're releasing is of the dark ride, Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid. The ride brings Guests into the world of the 1989 Disney smash-hit, The Little Mermaid, and rides them through several of the film's high points.
The first New Fantasyland review for What's the Attraction? is only a mouse click (or three, if you're using SlingFile) away!

Episode 19 - The Simpsons Ride
Hello again, folks. SurferClock here along with TAP-G to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
This time, we take a trip to a famous animated town! No, not Danville or Quahog or even Duckburg. Nope, we're headed to Springfield to take on Universal Orlando's 2008 addition to its park that replaced the much-beloved Back to the Future: The Ride, The Simpsons Ride!
This opening paragraph brought to you by Buzz Cola. Buzz Cola, twice the sugar, twice the caffeine. It's the taste you'd give up Express Pass for!
Yes folks, due to TAP-G's vigorous pursuit of the almighty podcast profit dollar, we've entered into a rather lucrative contract with one of Springfield's richest residents. And no, it's not Mr. Burns. Who's putting ads into our show and even the blog? Find out when you listen to this latest episode!

Hello again, listeners! SurferClock here along with TAP-G to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
This week, we're gonna take another break from reviewing individual attractions to bring you another special episode. We're debuting Versus, the segment that brings two very similar experiences together to be compared and contrasted in order for a winner to be determined! ...that is, in the eyes of your two hosts. This time, it's the competition of the cities as Downtown Disney takes on Universal CityWalk! As we often state, this show is a great deal centered around our opinions, so even though we may state a clear-cut winner for the purpose of the episode, it's really on you to decide which one is better. If nothing else, you may learn a thing or two about what each district has to offer, perhaps even discover something new! Excited to find out which city wins in our eyes?

Episode 17 - Expedition Everest: Legend of the Forbidden Mountain
Greetings, listeners! SurferClock here along with TAP-G to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
Today, our journey takes us back to Anandapur once more, but this time, we're taking on its biggest and arguably best attraction, "Expedition Everest: Legend of the Forbidden Mountain!" Brought along to Disney's Animal Kingdom as part of the Happiest Celebration on Earth in 2006, this costly E-Ticket helped in defining the park's sense of grand adventure, bringing it that much closer to losing that half-day park status.
Now, 6 years and millions of happy riders later, does it hold up, or do its snow-capped peaks have less of a glisten thanks in part to what can only be described as "Disco Yeti?" Find out as you listen to this latest episode!

Episode 16 - Stitch's Great Escape
Hello again, listeners! SurferClock here along with TAP-G to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
This time around, instead of doing one of those attractions we all know and love, we went a different route, bee-lined to the Magic Kingdom Park, and went into an attraction that everybody knows, but doesn't necessarily love. I mean, it's there, and still around today, but it doesn't get a whole lotta love from the public in general. Today, we're reviewing Stitch's Great Escape, that attraction that used to be Mission to Mars and the Extra-TERROR-estrial Alien Encounter as well (nooooot lookin' forward to -that- RIP segment, I can safely say~). Disney's cute little alien fluffball became the star of the attraction in 2004, to the fanfare of Elvis dancers, TP'd Cinderella's Castle, and modified monorail spiel.
So, how does it all hold up? Is it any good at all? Or is there good reason to be wary of this...theater-ride-show-can'tmakeupitsmind? Listen to this latest episode, and you'll know for sure!

Episode 14 - A Day with Phineas and Ferb
Hello once more, listeners. SurferClock here along with TAP-G to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
Those 104 days of summer vacation are just about to be ended by school. We hope you've had a great time solving this annual problem, but we're going to give it one more nice, big shot. What sort of crazy, whiz-bang, seat-of-our-pants adventure can we think up? Our imaginations might not be as good as, say, a couple of boys from Danville, so we took a bit of inspiration from them and spent the day with Phineas and Ferb! We took a few liberties, being that the experiences by themselves were too small individually for one WTA episode...so we tackled all three! Those three, of course, being "Phineas and Ferb & You: A Brand New Reality" at Downtown Disney, the Phineas and Ferb Play and Greet at Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Agent P's World Showcase Adventure at Epcot. Is today gonna be a great day? Find out by taking a listen to the podcast now!

Those 104 days of summer vacation are just about to be ended by school. We hope you've had a great time solving this annual problem, but we're going to give it one more nice, big shot.

WTA Labor Day Break
Greetings, listeners. SurferClock here along with TAP-G to bring you a minor update to the What's the Attraction? podcast release schedule.
We are going to be taking a break for Labor Day, which is tomorrow, September 3rd. The next podcast will be put up and released on September 10th, barring any other necessary changes to the schedule. For those who were waiting on a podcast tomorrow, we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Many of you will also be heading to the parks. Bear in mind that it's still feeling a lot like summer here in Florida, so you may want to listen to our Top Ten List as far as what to bring if you're there already or haven't heard it yet.
Listen here! (YouTube link)
As always, we appreciate your support of What's the Attraction?. Take care, everyone, have a safe and fun Labor Day weekend, and join us next week for the 'out of this world' podcast.

Episode 12 - Snow White's Scary Adventures (Rest in Pieces)
Hello, listeners! SurferClock here along with TAP-G bringing you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
Yeah, we're taking another break from reviewing current theme park attractions and reaching into the graveyard (or should that be boneyard?) of attractions that are no longer with us. Join us for the very first RIP segment! That is, Rest in Pieces, as most attractions are wont to do.
In fact, we went into the most recent of attractions that have shuffled off their mortal coil to bring you "Snow White's Scary Adventures" from Walt Disney World, which departed May 31, 2012. Hear our overview, our take, and more than a few surprises along the way.

Slingfile, you kinda suck again!
Hello, viewers! SurferClock here with a reminder that SlingFile, our MP3 distributor, is still doing the thing it did before, so please continue to follow the instructions to the letter.

P.S.: The post below is the latest episode, so make sure you check it out, too!
P.P.S: Two of the MP3 links (Soarin' and Top Ten Things You'll Need This Summer) were broken because Slingfile can suffer bouts of stupid. This has been fixed and they are downloadable once more through their respective blog posts.

Episode 11 - Flights of Wonder (with title card!)
Hello again, folks! SurferClock here along with TAP-G to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?" along with one other exciting development.
First, to the episode. This latest episode, Flights of Wonder, has us making our first foray into Disney's Animal Kingdom! This amazing bird show displays some of the most entertaining natural behaviors ever seen as well as a strong conservation message. If you're wondering why you've never seen the show, just take a look to your left if you're arriving from Africa...you can't miss it! ...well, problem is you -can-, and folks sadly often do. Hear our reviews, insight, and more!
Episode 11 - Flights of Wonder on YouTube
One other thing you might notice that's new about our YouTube videos is actually the latest development! Kyle Blanchette has been nice enough to provide us with title cards for each episode, even the earlier ones, leading up to today's episode...and beyond, we hope! So, we're extending a special thank you to Mr. Blanchette and we're hoping he can become a permanent part of the team. We've posted his excellent work onto the Facebook page, and will do so with each one he provides.
And now, here's the MP3 download of Flights of Wonder.

Better news regarding the podcast
Hello, listeners. SurferClock here with a few minor updates regarding "What's the Attraction?"
TAP-G and I have been facing some scheduling conflicts with our respective (paying) jobs, but soon, we will both share a day off. We'll be using Mondays for podcast stuff, so expect to see regular episodes back in full swing as soon as, perhaps, a week, maybe two. Once our schedules begin to coincide again, we can get back to normal production. We've planned ahead for a few episodes, so hopefully we can keep up this awesome 'ahead-ness' and start being weekly once more.
I also apologize for mentioning bonus material and having nothing to show for it. I just don't think anything else we have to offer would be entertaining enough to tide the masses over for the time being.

Back up from technical problems
Hello, listeners! SurferClock here, and while the site itself never went down, we were unable to produce a podcast last week due to my AC adapter having broke on my laptop. I've received the new adapter, but due to TAP-G and I's respective work schedules for this week, there may another delay, possibly a week, before a new episode comes out. We will do our best to make it up to you guys, but for now, we apologize for any inconvenience caused by no new episodes of the show. I may put some bonus content on YouTube, but I'm still considering what to put up. Bear with us, we'll be back to normal at some point.

Next episode delay
Hello, listeners. SurferClock here with a bit of bad news. Due to recent technical difficulties and a laptop AC adapter that no longer charges the laptop, Episode 8 is delayed. We are hoping that this will only be a slight delay, and we will continue to keep you informed on further developments. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the recently developed YouTube channel! It can be found in the previous post.

Exciting development! New way to listen!
SurferClock here, along with TAP-G, delivering some exciting news about "What's the Attraction?", so read on!
Since we've started the podcast, we've always had a bit of a dicey distribution method. SlingFile's given our few dedicated listeners mixed results, and while it does seem to be getting to our listeners (through veeeery specific instructions! Seriously, take them seriously), it's a clunky interface leaving much to be desired.
Starting this evening (in fact, right now!), our listeners can now use the power of YouTube to listen to the episodes! That's right, you don't even have to download MP3 files to listen any more. You can go to the brand-spankin'-new YouTube channel and select any episode you like to listen to at your leisure.
What's the Attraction? YouTube Channel
Some of the larger episodes are segmented for more convenient download times, each being no longer than 15 minutes. Episodes 1 - 7 are available through YouTube, and subsequent uploads will now have both the SlingFile and YouTube methods for listening, with both links being posted on the blog, giving users the freedom to watch on YouTube or to download via SlingFile (for convenience of putting onto MP3 players, iPods, and the like).
We hope that our channel will make listening to "What's the Attraction?" easier and more convenient than before. If you have any opinions, questions, or comments, you can also post to specific episodes, though we still welcome feedback through our other communication channels as well.
Thank you all, as always, for showing your support, listening in, and enjoying the podcast. We hope to hear from you, and that you continue to enjoy our podcast.

Starting this evening (in fact, right now!), our listeners can now use the power of YouTube to listen to the episodes! That's right, you don't even have to download MP3 files to listen any more. You can go to the brand-spankin'-new YouTube channel and select any episode you like to listen to at your leisure.
What's the Attraction? YouTube Channel
Some of the larger episodes are segmented for more convenient download times, each being no longer than 15 minutes. Episodes 1 - 7 are available through YouTube, and subsequent uploads will now have both the SlingFile and YouTube methods for listening, with both links being posted on the blog, giving users the freedom to watch on YouTube or to download via SlingFile (for convenience of putting onto MP3 players, iPods, and the like).
We hope that our channel will make listening to "What's the Attraction?" easier and more convenient than before. If you have any opinions, questions, or comments, you can also post to specific episodes, though we still welcome feedback through our other communication channels as well.
Thank you all, as always, for showing your support, listening in, and enjoying the podcast. We hope to hear from you, and that you continue to enjoy our podcast.

Hiya, folks. SurferClock here again, along with TAP-G, bringing you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
This week marks a departure from our typical format of reviewing attractions. We want to help our listeners make the most of their summer, especially if it involves a trip to one of the many theme parks across the country. If there's one thing that they all share, it's that they will be hot as the dickens. To prepare, we've compiled a list of the Top 10 things you'll need to help beat the heat and enjoy your trip.

A place for the fans
Hello, listeners. SurferClock here, with a little news concerning the podcast. Sometimes it's difficult to tell who's out there listening, and who our fans are. Keep in mind that we do appreciate each and every download, listen, listener, and those of you who decided that TAP-G and I are at least slightly better than average, or at least good enough to get in on more than one episode.
In our short lifespan thusfar, we know we're attracting at least a little bit of interest from those of you who have taken the time to follow the instructions and not get virus'd by the ever-lovely SlingFile hosting service (one day, folks, I will get us a dedicated host!). However, statistics only tell part of the story, so if you'd like to help us put a face to our listening audience, and you happen to be using the largest book of faces in the known universe, please do us a huge favor and like "What's the Attraction?" on Facebook!
What's the Attraction? Fan Page
It's a modest page for the moment, but you may soon get access to exclusive content not seen here on the blog as well as any other extras, and hints as to what we plan to talk about in upcoming podcasts. For all that and, hopefully soon, much more, please follow the fan page. You can also leave us comments and feedback, and be assured that we will read each and every bit of feedback.
We hope you'll join us on this latest venture!

Hello all! SurferClock here, along with TAP-G, bringing you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"

Let's try this again...
Now then, I believe I've found a host that's a bit more reliable than the others. According to the site itself, so long as the file is downloaded at least once every 180 days, then the link should NOT reset, as the others have.
To that effect, each of the posts below will be updated with current links and the instructions will be revised on each one. For those of you who have had trouble getting the podcast files, please comment or e-mail the askwtapodcast[at]gmail.com mailbag with your comments, concerns, and suggestions. As of this writing, the mailbag is currently still empty. I'm not sure what's working and what's not, so it would be awfully kind of those of you who are listening to send some feedback. TAP-G and I would love to hear from you!
Please check the below posts for updated links and instructions.
Hoping you can hear us so we can hear from you!

Welcome to "What's the Attraction?"!
Greetings one and all!
I'm SurferClock, and this is just the beginning of what my friend "TAP-G" and I hope will be a successful venture.
The purpose and objective of this blog is to jumpstart the project "What's the Attraction?," a formatted podcast that will discuss all things amusement park and theme park, from rides, attractions, and shows in the big boys (Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, etc.) to the smaller mom-and-pop parks, attractions, shows, and restaurants. TAP-G and I both live in Central Florida, living and breathing the theme park culture. Our passion and a combined 10 years or more working and playing in the parks has left us raring to share our tips, tricks, reviews, and more with the general public. We hope to do this in a variety of ways, from periodic podcasts to pictures and, in the future, perhaps video and even other media forms to come.
Our hope is that once we get things started, you'll tag along, tell your friends, and spread the word. Whether you're planning a trip to the Sunshine State or just curious about what the area has to offer, we want to be a source of information and inspiration to all.
As of right now, there's no release date for the first episode of the podcast. We are still scoping out ideas, locales, equipment, formats, and so on. Keep it tuned here for the latest, and once we can get the ball rolling, there'll be more updates to come!
Let's leave this first post on one final note: the news, opinions, reviews, and insights provided here are solely the opinions of the co-founders, SurferClock and TAP-G, and not those of any official theme park. All names, insignias, terms, and other items are copyright their respective owners. This blog and respective future podcasts or productions of any and every kind are not affiliated or sponsored in any way by The Walt Disney Company, NBC/Universal or The Blackstone Group.
