Hello again, listeners! SurferClock here along with TAP-G to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
We're hopping back over to Disney's Hollywood Studios to engage in what many consider to be its best experience...taking in its nighttime show, Fantasmic! This Disneyland favorite premiered May 13, 1992 to astounded audiences, who were amazed by the combination of pyrotechnics and on-stage action. The show premiered in Florida's Disney-MGM Studios park on October 15, 1998, and continues to be a smash-hit success, complete with long waits for what few shows are performed and a dining package centered around a VIP experience with this one show.
It may have been narrowly edged out by Universal's Cinematic Spectactular for the WTA Critic's Choice on Versus just a few episodes ago, but keep in mind that this was a narrow victory. So, does it still pack all of that splendor, wonder, and imagination, or should Mickey finally awake from this dream? Find out with today's review!
Episode 38 - Fantasmic! on YouTube
Also, if you can't tell by now, we've done away with the
whole Slingfile thing. Podcasts will begin to disappear from there, so
please let us know if you'd still like to get MP3s of the podcasts, and we'll see what we can do about hosting.
As always, thank you all so much for supporting What's the
Attraction?
and helping us grow! It's great to be able to share our love of the
parks with everyone out there. If you enjoyed it, please like our page
on Facebook (it's "What's the Attraction?"), subscribe to us on YouTube,
and tell a friend! Next week, if you're "tire"d of our usual shtick, don't get "test"y! You'll be on the right "track" if you want something a little different. Only a little, though...we're still reviewing an attraction next week. Take care until then, folks!

Episode 37 - It's Tough to be a Bug!
Salutations, listeners! SurferClock here along with TAP-G to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
Today, we're heading down into the Tree of Life at Disney's Animal Kingdom to bring you the greatest (and simultaneously the -tiniest-) show on Earth, showing all us humans that it really is tough to be a bug! "It's Tough to be a Bug!" was there on opening day, April 22, 1998. It's a 3D movie starring Flik and Hopper from "a bug's life," interestingly not out in theaters at the time of the show's opening (the film would release that November). Despite a cast of characters that nobody really knew about at the time, the show was a hit, continuing to remain a fairly good draw on busier days. Is this show as enlightening as it claims to be, or should we be reaching for the bug spray? Find out with our review and rating!

...no, no, we're not going to do that, heh. But if we did, I'm sure we'd all be thinking, "some imagination, huh?"
And yes, this -does- relate to next week's episode. How? Well, just wait and see!

Episode 35 - The Haunted Mansion (Part Dos)
Hello, intrepid viewers! SurferClock here along with TAP-G (and TowerGirl!) to bring you the latest episode of What's the Attraction?
Last week, we began our tour through Gracey Manor, heading through the classic Haunted Mansion attraction at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom Park. TAP-G got cold feet, as it were, and ran away like a wuss. Would be an awful shame if he were to leave behind his $37 black cowboy hat and it were in my sole possession...
Nah, he actually comes back. Did you -really- think we were going to end the show just because TAP-G shows a little cowardice now and then? No, he rejoins us and we continue and conclude our tour, finally giving our rating and review on this ride. Is it -really- worth all the fandom we've seen throughout the theme park community, or does this one need to "rest in pieces" as well? Find out with Part 2...er, Part Dos, of the Haunted Mansion review!
