Greetings, listeners! SurferClock here along with TAP-G (and TowerGirl!) to bring you the latest episode of What's the Attraction?
So, where is it that crypt doors creak and tombstones quake? Deep in the heart of the Magic Kingdom Park, situated in an eerie corner of Liberty Square lies one of its biggest draws...a phantom manor known by some as the greatest mixture of spooky and silly since Abbot and Costello met Frankenstein. Yes, folks, we're going to review The Haunted Mansion!
Normally, the episode contains a discussion and rating portion, but with all of the interesting things we dug up while researching this attraction, we simply couldn't fit it all into one episode. Well, that, and TAP-G's a bit of a scaredy-host, but more on that once you get into the heart of the episode. Tower Girl and Reese even join in on the fun! It's a two-parter you don't want to miss, and here's how to listen in:
HEADPHONE WARNING: Portions of this podcast get kinda loud, so you may want to turn your volume down a notch, maybe two!

Episode 33 - Splitsville (Downtown Disney West Side)
Hello there, listeners! SurferClock here along with TAP-G to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
In today's episode, we head over to the free-to-park Downtown Disney, trod over toward the West Side area, and checked out the new Splitsville bowling alley! Sandwiched between DisneyQuest and AMC Theaters Pleasure Island 24, this alley boasts a little more than your average pin-toppling place...it's got nice decor, a 50s and 60s motif, and some premium eats! We did, however, notice a bit of a crippling problem that keeps the place from being Orlando's newest and best hangout for the locals...what might this problem be, you ask? You'll want to listen in on our review to find out!

Episode 32 - Tomorrowland Speedway
Hello, listeners! SurferClock here (and finally back in good health!) along with TAP-G to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
We travel back toward Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World and back toward Tomorrowland to take on an attraction much beloved by...well, by a few small kids who are smart enough to bring along earplugs. This is Tomorrowland Speedway. Another of the park's opening day attractions, it's gone through a couple of re-themes through the years, but we've inexplicably arrived at this themeless incarnation with its loud, noisy vehicles and noxious fumes. Is this ride worth a spin or does it just crash and burn? Listen in and find out!

Introducing: WTeamA Riffs!
Heya, folks! SurferClock here with, finally, the big reveal of the show's content that will start posting beginning tomorrow.
This segment is primarily an experiment, a "one-off" due to TAP-G being out of town for the next week. If it fares well somehow, we may bring it back on an irregular basis.
WTeamA Riffs is the name of the segment. Anyone familiar with Mystery Science Theater 3000 will know what riffing is, but for the uninitiated, riffing is essentially mocking a movie with snide, often humorous remarks and commentary. A few weeks ago, just after Episode 29, I began to try and think of some way to provide content for the time that TAP-G would be away...it felt a little strange to think I'd be doing something theme park related without my co-host by my side. In due time, and with a bit of random inspiration, I decided to get WTeamA together (consisting of TAP-G, Tower Girl, and myself) to try something new. I found a terrible B-movie, we watched it, and provided commentary for it.
Starting tomorrow, a new part of WTeamA Riffs - BIRDEMIC: Shock and Terror will be posted once a day for 7 days (one for each day TAP-G's out of town, coincidentally enough). It came out to around an hour and 45 minutes total, and I didn't want to try to drop that massive file onto YouTube all at once. Each part is no more than 15 minutes long, and it plays the entire movie's audio along with our commentary. Those wanting to watch it with the movie will be a trifle out of luck...while I'm not new to the concept of riffing, this is the first time I've tried putting one together myself, so things may be a bit wonky. Again, it's an experiment.
Rather than make a new post for every part I release, I will post the first link, and edit it to include subsequent links as they come. I hope you folks will enjoy this experiment, and once TAP-G is back in town, we'll resume the standard What's the Attraction? format. Until then, we hope you enjoy our contribution to the world of movie riffs!
