Episode 78 - Rest in Pieces: Body Wars

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

With all the recent news of attraction closures all along Disney's Hollywood Studios and Epcot, we thought it was high time that we did another RIP episode! Seems that a lot of the rides we intended to cover are going that way anymore…

Today's episode holds a particularly special place in SurferClock's heart, but we know a lot of you were fond of it, too! So today, we're going to pay our respects to one of Walt Disney World's pioneering attractions, Body Wars! 1989 would bring WDW's first motion simulator ride in the form of this journey through the human body. Don't miss our final journey onto this ride! Click the link below!

Episode 77 - Top Ten Best Queues

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

Remember about a month ago when we promised you a Top 10 List suggested by a fan on Facebook? Well, it's finally here! After much discussion and a lot of ranking changes, we can finally bring you the Top 10 Queues! We were so excited to get back to Top 10s that we even had our cover artist, Kyle Blanchette, do up a new cover art for Top 10 lists! Check that out, along with our list, by clicking the link below!

Episode 76 - The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man

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

I think I'm going to stop trying to predict what we'll do for the next episode, because I've gotten really bad at it. Two fumbles in a row kinda burned me.

Anywho! Today, we're actually going back over to Universal's Islands of Adventure, because we've barely begun to scratch the surface of cool things to do over there. Chief among them are the pulse-pounding thrills to be found at Marvel Superhero Island…today, we're going to the Daily Bugle to check out the recently-reworked Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man! This opening-day 3D simulator puts you straight into the middle of the action as roving reporters attempting to get the scoop for the Daily Bugle. In classic theme park fashion, something goes wrong! Is this report a headliner, or will it need to scope out the classifieds to find new work? Find out with today's episode!

WTA Editorial 2 - Have 'Behind the Scenes' Become Obsolete?

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

We know we promised a Top 10 List, and we'd decided on the Top 10 Queues in the Parks. However, between the new stuff that's opened and some contention between us, we haven't finished the list or writing the episode. So, we've brought along a new editorial as our upload for the week. We take a look at the growing tendency of studio parks to immerse the guests in the worlds of their movies and shows rather than show them how these things get made. Today's editorial asks the big question: "Have 'Behind the Scenes' Become Obsolete?"

Next week is the offweek, but once we return, we HOPE to be doing the Top 10 Queues in the Parks. If there's any changes to this (like there was this week), we'll try to let you know.

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!

WTA Editorial - How Much is Nostalgia Worth?

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.
