CoasterRadio.com: The Original Theme Park Podcast
CoasterRadio.com #732 - School's Out for the Summer!
This year, theme park fans are feverishly anticipating not one, not two, but THREE wooden coasters with inversions.
The first, Outlaw Run at Silver Dollar City opened to much fanfare and success.
Now, we hear about the 2nd inverting wooden coaster to open... Iron Rattler at Six Flags Fiesta Texas.
We're joined by Arthur Levine, the Theme Parks Guide at About.com, who had a chance to ride the coaster on its opening weekend.
We'll discuss the ride's unique features, it's amazing setting and whether or not this should really count as a wooden coaster. Oh yeah, Arthur will also tell us if the ride is actually worth riding!
We'll also hear three Live Trip Reports from different parks around the country. We'll hear reviews of the new "Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin" at Sea World Orlando. We'll also hear reviews of "White Lightning" and "Freedom Flyer" at Fun Spot in Orlando.
Finally, we'll go live to Layer Elementary School in Central Florida to talk with the winners of their coaster design contest! Their teacher happens to be a fan of CoasterRadio.com and asked EB and Mike to judge a contest where the kids learned about the physics and technology behind ride design.
Who knows, we might be talking to the next generation of Disney Imagineers!
