Hey, listeners! SurferClock here to bring you Update #2 regarding the upcoming content.
Yesterday, I dropped a little hint as to the nature of the content. I've got a bit more I can share about it today. The response to yesterday's post was far better than I expected, so I think I'll drop a slightly better hint today...see who's really paying attention out there.
I mentioned that our cover artist, Kyle, wouldn't be able to do the cover art for the update ahead due to the short notice. I also let slip the possibility that it could, like those early episodes of WTA, end up as the blue background with only the words (any episode prior to Flights of Wonder posted on YouTube had this due to lack of usable cover art). While I was putting the content together, however, I got the idle inspiration to try my hand at making the cover art, what it might look like...it showed me two things: one, I'm not Kyle by any stretch of the imagination. I took art classes and drew a lot when I was in high school, but I've definitely settled into a 'style' of my own. Two, that I may actually be able to do cover art for this after all. So, there might be cover art for it, and there might not be. I don't want to confirm or deny it 'til it comes time for me to start posting.
One more hint I'm going to drop here before I conclude is that this content will be divided into parts. It's longer than 15 minutes, so it calls for division.
All the rest will be revealed tomorrow, and then Saturday, I'm going to begin posting the content. Check back here (and on Facebook, like us if you haven't already, we're under What's the Attraction?) for the big reveal tomorrow afternoon!

Show update for next week
Hello again, listeners! SurferClock here to bring you a little update as to next week's plans for the show.
As mentioned in the previous entry, this coming week will not have a standard episode due to TAP-G being out of town. This does not mean, however, that the show will be taking a break for the week...I'm experimenting with some new show content that will begin going up even before the usual show update.
The content in question will be outside of the show's canon and continuity (or lack thereof), but will contain TAP-G, SurferClock, and Tower Girl. It's a bit of a different format entirely, and though we may make references to theme parks within it, this week's content will not be a theme park or attraction review of any sort.
For all you folks who bother to check the blog, I'll leave a hint here: The content in question, I'm hoping, will leave you "MST-y eyed" with laughter.
I'll be revealing more details in the next day or two, so stay tuned!

Episode 30 - JAWS (Rest in Pieces)
Ahoy, listeners! SurferClock here once again along with TAP-G to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
For today's episode, the second Rest in Pieces segment, we took a look at our inbox and realized something...you folks sure do miss your classic attractions! We've received numerous requests for RIP segments we can do, and rest assured that we will get around to as many of them as we can. Today, though, we wanted to hit the former attraction with the highest number of requests, and we bring that episode to you today!
Opening with the park in June 7, 1990, it was one of Universal Studios Florida's biggest draws. Inspired by a classic film, it was this attraction that really brought to light one of Universal Studios Florida's oldest slogans: "Ride the Movies!" And nothing brought you folks closer to a classic film moment then being able to come face to face with a true terror: 30 feet long, 5 tons of terror, and it's coming right at your boat!
By popular demand, we take on JAWS and get to ride it one last time thanks to the help of Reese, the djinn that we summoned in the first R.I.P. segment (back in Episode 12), but kept around so we could employ his assistance for future segments. Here it is, folks, the moment you've been waiting for...WTA takes on JAWS!

Episode 29 - Shrek 4-D
Greetings, listeners! SurferClock here once again along with TAP-G to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
For today's episode, we step over toward Universal Studios Florida to take in the sights and sounds of a little place called Duloc. Over by Production Central at the heart of the park lies the subject of today's review: Shrek 4-D. It seems perfect that the park most bent on rivalling Walt Disney World would get the attraction, based on a 2001 film made by DreamWorks SKG, the company most bent on rivaling Disney's CG partner, Pixar. But does this midquel between Shrek 1 and Shrek 2 still hold up, even after the release of two additional Shrek films in the franchise, or is this film "ogre"ly outdated? Find out as we review it here for WTA!

Episode 28 - The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
Happy New Year, WTA listeners! SurferClock here along with TAP-G to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
To begin this new year, we're heading back to most everyone's favorite of the Disney parks, Magic Kingdom Park, and taking a look at what most consider to be a new classic. "New classic" because it opened up in the late 90s, replacing Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, of course. Yes, today, we're journeying into the Hundred Acre Wood with many a childhood friend, but most of all, Winnie the Pooh.
"The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" takes Guests into the stories from the film of the same name released back in 1977, which itself combined three Pooh animated shorts into one mostly-cohesive story. Aboard the hunny pot, Guests are invited through the pages, bouncing with Tigger and floating about when the rain rain rain comes down down down, amongst other such adventures.
Much controversy was had over Mr. Toad's replacement, of course...petitions, sternly written letters, and even in-park demonstrations were had to attempt to save that hell-bound amphibian. Ultimately, Winnie the Pooh still took over...but is the attraction really to be much-loved, or should Guests still be taking daily trips to Hell (no, seriously...look up Mr. Toad's Wild Ride or just ask someone who's been on it!)? Find out with our review to kick off 2013, WTA-style!
