CoasterRadio.com: The Original Theme Park Podcast
CoasterRadio.com #734 - Summer Insanity!
As Summer 2013 rolls along, there's a lot to get excited about! (And we talk about a lot of it on this week's show!)
For instance, Busch Gardens Tampa just unveiled plans for their new 2014 attraction... it's a 335-feet tall drop tower named "Falcon's Fury."
The new ride will drop riders at 60-mph, but with a new twist. The riders' seats will pivot 90 degrees so that they are facing straight down! INSANE!
We'll also take a look at the new fast-food area themed to the long running animated series "The Simpsons" that just opened at Universal Studios Florida. Will it be worth the price of admission to visit Moe's Tavern to have a pint of Duff Beer?
We also have LIVE TRIP REPORTS from the newly refurbished Timber Mountain Log Ride at Knotts Berry Farm and the crazy new roller coaster at Alton Towers, "The Smiler." The English ride has 14-inversions! INSANE!
Finally, we talk with Steve VanDis from Indigo Films. He's the Co-Executive Producer for the popular Travel Channel show "Insane Coaster Wars: World Domination."
We'll talk to him about what we can expect during this season of the show and what it's like to shoot a complicated TV program in some of the world's best known parks.
Check out all of the show notes and links in our new interactive ZEEN - "In Styleee!" It's brand new for Season Seven!
