Greetings, loyal listeners! SurferClock here, along with TAP-G to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
Many of you will finally be hailing with great fervor our return to actually reviewing theme park attractions! ...but probably not the lower-quality audio that we also had last week. My laptop is still being repaired at this time, so we've had to make use of a backup for the time being. Sorry about that.
Now then, we've been avoiding heading back to Islands of Adventure ever since the Cat in the Hat episode...remember that? Yeah, EPISODE 8. So yeah, it's been a while, and with the Wizarding World set to expand this summer over to Universal Studios Florida, we suppose it's high time we tread into Hogsmeade and ride everyone's favorite, "Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey!" Opening with the Wizarding World on June 18, 2010, it's been going strong ever since, winning awards and taking names, even contributing to Universal Orlando's first ever 'more-than-Disney' attendance! Such a legend deserves a comprehensive look, and that's what we intend on doing! Join us for a 20-minute review of "Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey!"

Theme Park Reel-view #2: Blackfish
Hey there, listeners. SurferClock here, along with TAP-G, to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
As promised last week, Reel-view #2 is here, and we're doing Blackfish! If the episode seems a little long, it's because unlike all our other episodes, we typically don't edit Reel-views, and we had a lot to say (and cite) regarding this film. Controversy has abounded regarding Blackfish, a 2013 documentary by one Gabriela Cowperthwaite which takes a look at an orca attack at SeaWorld Florida in 2010 that took the life of one Dawn Brancheau by first making its way through Tilikum the orca's history, a sweeping and overall look at the state of orcas in captivity. What did we think of it? Well, listen in, and know that unlike Ms. Cowperthwaite, we didn't rely on snappy editing and omission of facts to make our opinion known.

Rolly Crump and the Forbidden Blooper (2013 Blooper Reel)
Grittings and salad-tations! ...wait, no, that's not it.
Hyia! ...nope, that's not it either.
Why don't I just stick with Hello. There we go. SurferClock here, and while we're on a brief break, let me just say that the editing process removes many of the imperfections that a live show would not allow us to get out. Sometimes, the flubs are simple things like mis-speaking or misreading a line, but sometimes, they can be a little bit more.
I've been keeping a file full of them, or at least the best ones, and now, I'm releasing all of 2013's best ones in a compilation that today, I'm calling "Rolly Crump and the Forbidden Blooper." Rolly Crump was one of the Imagineers who worked on the Haunted Mansion attraction, and when I had a little trouble saying his name, it would start a legacy of legendary flubs. So enjoy this, our special treat to all you amazing fans...listen to us flub lines like crazy!

WTA RECUT: Episode 5 - Country Bear Jamboree
Howdy, folks! SurferClock here, along with TAP-G, to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
Here it is, folks! We're concluding the WTA Recut project TODAY! Here, in what I think is probably one of the best recuts we've done, is the Country Bear Jamboree episode! Of course, back when we first did it, the attraction was a bit longer. Now cut down to 10 minutes, it was only fair that we went back and reviewed it once more with the new show fresh in mind.
It's been parodied everywhere from Lester's Possum Park to the Goofy Gopher Review, from A Goofy Movie to Futurama, and now, it's here once again, related in a way only WTA can. An opening day attraction in Florida's Magic Kingdom, it continues to draw typically the most reminiscent of folks in. Is it worth another look, given its fresh coat of paint and truncated length? Journey with us and find out together!
