Episode 23 - Back in My Day: Creating Maelstrom (w/ Mark Rhodes)

March 11, 2016

On this episode, we talk to former Disney Imagineer Mark Rhodes about what it was like creating the classic Epcot attraction, Maelstrom, on a new installment of Back in My Day.

That's right, listeners!  Vikings... Trolls... Polar Bears... OIL RIGS!

Learn about how Mark Rhodes (Rhodes to Imagination, Inc.) became an Imagineer in the late 1970s, and how that lead to him working on a mysterious Epcot project that would take riders through the past, present, and legends of Norway!

Maelstrom closed in 2014 to make way for the new Frozen Ever After attraction opening this year.

Plus, hear our mini-review of Disney's new animated feature, Zootopia, and hear our thoughts on the VR Coaster experience coming to Six Flags parks this year!

And, don't forget, our next episode is our Season Finale!  Look for that Friday, March 25, 2016.  (And mark your calendars for our Season 2 premiere - Friday, May 13, 2016.)

You are not the first to pass this way... nor shall you be the last...
