Episode 14 - A Day with Phineas and Ferb

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

Those 104 days of summer vacation are just about to be ended by school. We hope you've had a great time solving this annual problem, but we're going to give it one more nice, big shot. What sort of crazy, whiz-bang, seat-of-our-pants adventure can we think up? Our imaginations might not be as good as, say, a couple of boys from Danville, so we took a bit of inspiration from them and spent the day with Phineas and Ferb! We took a few liberties, being that the experiences by themselves were too small individually for one WTA episode...so we tackled all three! Those three, of course, being "Phineas and Ferb & You: A Brand New Reality" at Downtown Disney, the Phineas and Ferb Play and Greet at Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Agent P's World Showcase Adventure at Epcot. Is today gonna be a great day? Find out by taking a listen to the podcast now!

Episode 13 - ET Adventure

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

Returning to our standard theme park attraction reviewing fare, we head back over to Universal Studios Florida to bring you an out-of-this-world adventure that, rather than having you blast at the aliens, brings you to the Green Planet to apply the healing touch of one E.T. This week, we review the ET Adventure! Hear our thoughts, discussions, and reviews of the ride as well as a few funny anecdotes regarding the ride.

WTA Labor Day Break

Greetings, listeners. SurferClock here along with TAP-G to bring you a minor update to the What's the Attraction? podcast release schedule.

We are going to be taking a break for Labor Day, which is tomorrow, September 3rd. The next podcast will be put up and released on September 10th, barring any other necessary changes to the schedule. For those who were waiting on a podcast tomorrow, we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Many of you will also be heading to the parks. Bear in mind that it's still feeling a lot like summer here in Florida, so you may want to listen to our Top Ten List as far as what to bring if you're there already or haven't heard it yet.

Listen here! (YouTube link)

As always, we appreciate your support of What's the Attraction?. Take care, everyone, have a safe and fun Labor Day weekend, and join us next week for the 'out of this world' podcast.

Episode 12 - Snow White's Scary Adventures (Rest in Pieces)

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

Yeah, we're taking another break from reviewing current theme park attractions and reaching into the graveyard (or should that be boneyard?) of attractions that are no longer with us. Join us for the very first RIP segment! That is, Rest in Pieces, as most attractions are wont to do.

In fact, we went into the most recent of attractions that have shuffled off their mortal coil to bring you "Snow White's Scary Adventures" from Walt Disney World, which departed May 31, 2012. Hear our overview, our take, and more than a few surprises along the way.

Yes, I had to put the warning back in, because apparently SlingFile is doing that thing I thought it stopped doing before. Remember, follow those instructions to the letter if you want the MP3!

Slingfile, you kinda suck again!

Hello, viewers! SurferClock here with a reminder that SlingFile, our MP3 distributor, is still doing the thing it did before, so please continue to follow the instructions to the letter.

SurferClock

P.S.: The post below is the latest episode, so make sure you check it out, too!

P.P.S: Two of the MP3 links (Soarin' and Top Ten Things You'll Need This Summer) were broken because Slingfile can suffer bouts of stupid. This has been fixed and they are downloadable once more through their respective blog posts.

Episode 11 - Flights of Wonder (with title card!)

Hello again, folks! SurferClock here along with TAP-G to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?" along with one other exciting development.

First, to the episode. This latest episode, Flights of Wonder, has us making our first foray into Disney's Animal Kingdom! This amazing bird show displays some of the most entertaining natural behaviors ever seen as well as a strong conservation message. If you're wondering why you've never seen the show, just take a look to your left if you're arriving from Africa...you can't miss it! ...well, problem is you -can-, and folks sadly often do. Hear our reviews, insight, and more!

Episode 11 - Flights of Wonder on YouTube

One other thing you might notice that's new about our YouTube videos is actually the latest development! Kyle Blanchette has been nice enough to provide us with title cards for each episode, even the earlier ones, leading up to today's episode...and beyond, we hope! So, we're extending a special thank you to Mr. Blanchette and we're hoping he can become a permanent part of the team. We've posted his excellent work onto the Facebook page, and will do so with each one he provides.

And now, here's the MP3 download of Flights of Wonder.
