No new episode this week + IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Hello there, folks. SurferClock here to remind you that today, there will be no new episode of "What's the Attraction?"

I also have a very important announcement regarding the production schedule of the show. Starting from this week and onward into the foreseeable future, "What's the Attraction?" will now be produced BI-WEEKLY. This means one episode every two weeks, rather than being produced every week. This was a tough decision that TAP-G and I dwelled on for quite some time. We came to this decision in order to continue bringing you all the very best podcast that we can while maintaining and preserving the creative spirit that the show was founded upon. We hope that you all will understand and respect this decision, and will continue to stand by us despite new content only coming in every other week. We appreciate each and every one of you!

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

Today's episode is an editorial, taking a break from reviews (as we are often wont to!) to ruminate on a topic that's stoked our curiosity lately: how much is nostalgia worth? Not just to us and humanity, but to theme parks as well! We found it to be a fascinating topic of discussion, and we hope you do as well! To see our viewpoints and to join in the discussion, click the link below!

Episode 75 - Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

Greetings, listeners! SurferClock here, along with TAP-G and TowerGirl, and are very excited to bring you this latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"

In 2014, a number of exciting theme park developments have taken place…from the Frozen Summer Fun at Disney's Hollywood Studios to the grand opening of Universal Studios Florida's Diagon Alley, but despite the anticipation, we are only ready to review one of the new offerings currently. So today, we are happy to bring you our review of the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. This newest mountain at Magic Kingdom Park is a family coaster anchored at the center of New Fantasyland. From the grand opening of the land, nearly 2 years passed before the centerpiece opened up. Was it worth the wait? Find out what the boys think with today's much-requested episode by clicking below.

Theme parks know it and use it, but really, how much is nostalgia worth? Find out next week in a rather unique WTA Editorial. We'll see you next week.

Theme Park Reel-view #4 - The LEGO Movie

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

As promised, we're tackling a Theme Park Reel-view of The LEGO Movie to help start our coverage of Legoland Florida, a park that's a little out of our way. February 2014 brought us "The LEGO Movie" from Warner Brothers, and it also brought in a ton of money! But was it just cameo-charged and catchy-tune infused to bring butts to seats, or was it genuinely a memorable film? Find out what we thought by having a listen to out super-sized and spoiler-rific episode down below.

Also, there are spoilers and you have been warned.
