Fed Up #4 - Why Do Our Favorite Attractions Get Closed and/or Replaced?

Hello there, folks. SurferClock here to bring you today's episode of "What's the Attraction?"

Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, we don't have all of our staff on hand to record the Mission:SPACE episode scheduled for today. While we do apologize for the inconvenience that this causes, I was prepared for today and wrote a solo episode, the next in the Fed Up series!

While TAP-G and I normally alternate this segment (and he was supposed to go next), I found myself recently thinking about all of the change I've seen in the parks since my interest was first piqued in them, and how upset most of this change seems to make most folks. Anyone with any interest in this industry has experienced some form of change, but why do companies do it, even with seemingly beloved attractions? Today's Fed Up segment will dive into that...so jump right in!

WTA Speculates - The Future of Frozen in the Disney Parks

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

This week, we're taking a break from reviewing attractions to have a nice, rational discussion about a very popular film, Frozen...more specifically, its future in the theme parks. We managed to get a series of questions put together, including one question from a Facebook fan, to discuss what the future might hold in a new segment we're calling "WTA Speculates!" It's less structured than other episodes, so it's about double the length of a regular episode. We hope you enjoy it, and we encourage you to leave a comment on YouTube, Facebook, or even here if you agree, disagree, or have any input or insight you can contribute! Check the link below to listen in.

Episode 71 - Animal Actors: On Location!

How's it going, folks? SurferClock here, along with TAP-G, to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"

Our jaunt along Universal Studios Florida takes us toward Woody Woodpecker's KidZone, where an interesting show sits at its forefront...before it became Animal Actors, it was...an animal show. Before that...huh, also animals. They can't all be interesting, folks. Hopefully our review will make up for it.

Next week, we'll focus in on "Frozen" and its future in the Disney Parks. Anna and Elsa are here to stay, but what else could the theme parks do to bring us closer to this most memorable (and profitable!) of movies since "The Lion King?" We'll talk about that next week, so stay tuned!
