P:TR Post Office!

Hey Second Gate pals!

We need your questions for an upcoming P:TR Post Office episode! Ask us all the non-medical, non-Social-Security-or-bank-account-number related questions you can conjure!

Comments

Seems like the Epic Universe third gate hype was just too big to fail, to that end, what is the 'weakest' land they could have included that people still would have been excited about just because of the third gate hype.

J May

I have another Eisner-on-Soarin’-type question for you. Is composer Michael Giacchino in the safety video for Star Tours as the annoyed ground crew member?

Cody Lawrence

What is one movie you wish became a ride? What would the ride look like?

Ryan Cleary

Any of you guys have thoughts on the Wayne’s World ride at King’s Dominion, The Hurler? https://youtu.be/AcGO4shrJLQ?si=P3t-6p3ymKOxMEa3

Steven Dressler

Bro I wish I knew...

Joel Warren

As writers and performers, have any of the 3 of you ever gotten close to being hired by SNL?

Michael Hillman

Sona has talked about her habit of going to Disneyland high. She’d be great.

Ben

Or at least David Hopping or even Sona Movsesian. I'm sure either of those would make great guests.

Drake Bunch

What’s up with the smell backstage??

Nicholas Weil

If you could switch the land of one attraction, without changing anything else about the attraction of the land, which and why.

Nicholas Weil

Will we ever hear the Tomorrowland armchair imagineering episode?

Scott Mitchell

This is a comedy podcast about theme parks. We hear a lot about your favorite themed things. But what’s some comedy you’re really digging right now, you could turn us all on to?

Kody Holmes

I’m super late with this one, but seeing as Scott used to work on Conan and friend of the show Matt Gourley is famously Conan’s podcast co-host, when are we getting Conan on Podcast the Ride?

Ben

Does Scott really have a boat at his house with spiders living in it? And why isn't Scott's son allowed to play on this alleged boat?

Tye

I’m going to need 15 min segments on both Porkroll and Scrapple

Evan Pierri

I’ve been in it 👀👀

Evan Pierri

THIS

Ryan Sherwood

Have y’all thought of covering VMK: Virtual Magic Kingdom?

Michael

would you ever do a music loop final 4?

issa horcrux

Oz Park is a charming public park/rat colony in Chicago lightly themed to the Wizard of Oz. Do you know of any other themed & free, public parks either in LA or around the country that you've visited/that are on your list to visit?

Liese Peach

What country should be added to the world showcase?

STEPHEN ZEGERS

Did you know that Waylon Smithers is the namesake of Waylon Flowers?

Jeffrey Smith

You’ve forgotten to inform us who the last 70 or so Animatronics of the Month are. Could you please give us a quick run-down? We don’t need an in depth discussion, just a quick list in under 45 seconds would be just dandy. Thank you!

Erik

What food item should Disney finally call a quits on and redesign? What is disneys “fetch” food item (mean girls)

Will baker

Your mortal enemy asks you for theme park planning advice. What park do you send them to & what do you suggest they eat/see/do to maximize their disappointment?

Shannon O'Toole

If a new version of the Great Movie ride came out today, what 12 movies from 1989 (original opening date) onward would deserve a place? 4 picks for each of you

Melanie

Guys, Daddy D’Amaro asks you to create your own PTR Restaurant. Give us the name of the restaurant and a name of an app, main, and dessert by each of you in the vein of the NASCAR cafe or a themed restaurant of your choosing.

Steven Horton

For which defunct themed experience would you each produce a comprehensive 4-hour-long post-mortem on Youtube?

Jarret Wasko

After Jenny Nicholson's do you whis it more or less to have gone to the Star Wars hotel?

Marcelo Caldera

When will you be going to London to see the revival of Starlight Express?

Breanna

It’s pride month! I love the show and I’m queer. If Disney decided to cash in for Pride Month and give a ride at a park a LGBTQIA+ “Gay Overlay” for June , which one would they pick and what would they change?

John Sokolis Jr.

Have any of you attended the Anaheim Halloween Festival/Parade ? What are your thoughts or experiences on small town Halloween festivities like this ?

ducky

Follow up to this question. Did Mike get to see the tribute concert at the Hollywood bowl for for jimmy buffet?

Maggie

Any thoughts on Evermore? The theme park from the dude who created the much discussed Void.

Blake Hanrath

Which Chuck E. Cheese animatronic is the hottest? (Feel free to loop in showtime pizza)

Blake Hanrath

Design your dream popcorn bucket.

Joe Glass

What one change would you make to a theme park if you were all powerful?

Viet Ta

Any thoughts on variants vs. their original form? I'm about to go to disney and would love the boys to discuss Hyperspace mountain vs. space mountain, along with other seasonal variants

Edegar

Heard there's going to be a Munsters reboot called 1313 but its horror. Discuss.

Cassie

If PTR were to play the Sphere what graphics would be displayed during the show?

Loading...

Are there any silly fun facts about each of you that hasn’t ever come up on the podcast? Obviously private lives should stay private, but maybe Jason is really good at playing the drums or something.

Kameron Grant

If Mike, Scott, and Jason animatronics were added to an existing ride, Johnny Depp style, which ride would it be, and where in it would you want your animatronic placed?

Chris Blair

Have you all heard of the Captain America themed restaurant in Dublin Ireland? I’m pretty sure it’s not licensed by Marvel, or if it is they really didn’t care about the quality of the theming

Jack Bebb

⚠️Important Epcot Question⚠️ Do y’all start in Mexico, or Canada when taking a trip around the world? 🌐🌏

Brian Callaghan

The “how many days to stay at Tokyo Disney” debate was contentious. What absolutely ridiculous timeframe should I propose to my family to get the full Orlando experience, from I-Drive to Dreamsicle Drive?

Brie!

Evermore died without an official PTR visit. Please apologize.

Krista

If you had unlimited money and could completely change Universal Studios Hollywood and CityWalk however you like, what would you do? Would you change the layout? Expand more into the back lot?

Jeff Gross

I feel like Mr. Woodchuck would stand strong 🔥

Natalie

what a sad trend. :( we need a Pan-am airport terminal hotel, an alien filled spaceport hotel, and a fao Schwartz infused spot .. Stat!!!

Jeff Bale

It could be fun if we tore down the kayfabe wall and got into the other side of your professional careers. We always hear about past editing gigs, commercial spots and I think producing? Let’s hear about those recent projects and accolades, maybe a boastful podcast episode if you will. It would be fun to hear more about that side of your careers if you’re keen to sharing. Thanks for the laughs.

dru.t43

I would love to hear what they think about Disney Cruises after going on one! I am torn between not really being interested in cruises in general, but kind of wanting to see the themed spaces IRL. And I think they’d have an interesting perspective as theme parks fans who are mostly in it for the rides.

Fiona

What are your thoughts on all the updates to Downtown Disney District?

Breanna

Which episode do you most wish you could burn down for the insurance money? What is Forever Dog’s Joe Cilio really like? Is he silly…. yo? If I paid for your cabins, would you go on a Disney Cruise and record an episode and also have dinner with me? Why isn’t there a canonical list of all the shows, commercials, and other media you all have each been in? What’s been the most surprising part of how P:TR has grown and become popular over the years? What themes are under-represented at theme parks? (e.g. there’s no Roarin’ Twenties theme park) Other than Michael Eisner, who would you most like to have as a guest on the show? Which episode would you submit for consideration for a prestigious podcast award? Have you considered jointly writing a book about theme parks? I heard one of you has some comedy writing experience. What philosophy do each of you live your life by? What are listeners most surprised by when they meet you in person? Have any of you considered having your parent(s) or sibling(s) on as a guest? Setting aside the threats to writing and acting, do you see any positives about A.I.? Can you do a Podcast: The Ride series of roasts? You could roast particular rides, parks, Guys, or other podcasters My wife says, “I bet Michael was a late bloomer.” What does she mean by this? Are there ways that enthusiastic listeners could further support you guys or the show? Dreamsicle Drive Have you built any themed areas in your houses? Would you consider trying Twitch again? Maybe a playthrough of Epic Mickey? Please address the rumor that this show is actually produced by Disney to reach old cynical adults What are your favorite examples of people theming things in everyday life? For example: Those fairy doors people carve into trees. Have any of the Guys you’ve covered ever reached out with praise or threats? We hear lots about movies, rides, and breakfast cereals you like. What are you all reading? How does Scott decide which theme park adjacent nonsense to get angry about and which to get excited about? What’s something that exists in the world that is never themed, but should be? Is religion a themed experience? Please discuss, citing examples. If they replace the Hall of Presidents with a new attraction, but keep the animatronics, what should it be and who will each president be turned into? What are the places where you’d most like to do a live show? What’s the most surprisingly thing, demographically, about your audience? Are scented candles a themed experience? Please discuss movies or shows with high theme vibes (e.g. Stranger Things’ Starcourt Mall) How would you each want to plus up the PTR brand? What areas would you expand into? Who could each of you swap for the other two and not miss a beat? What completely 100% serious, not theme park related topic would each of you want to do an episode on?

Scott J. Kleper

For all three good boys: oh no! Mikes missiles are at it again. Would you take an overhauled Tomorrowland but carthay circle gets missile transformed into a bland commissary style eatery, OR keep carthay circle and the missiles destroy all hope for any tomorrowland update for the rest of your life?

Mickey R

Have you ever considered a Jason-led episode about the regional meats of Pennsylvania and New Jersey? I’d love to hear you discuss Lebanon’s ‘Bologna Ranger’ and NYE bologna drop.

NICHOLAS DISANTO

Which one of you is the biggest scaredy cat? Logic would say Mike, but it could reasonably be any of you.

Kenny Hile

Which Food and Wine Festival do you prefer: Epcot or DCA?

Ryan Neil

We all love dark rides, the longer the better right? What is each one of y’all’s perfect dark ride? And how long would be too long?

Brandon Zubriski

Kaz on the Masked Man show said that at the Forum Dynamite, Mercedes Mone backstage had a Clooney signed Casamigos gift set that was sent to her. It’s no suitcase, but worth a mention right?

Wade Brightwell

This is so good

Jack O’Donnell

The Good Girls!

Evan Howington

Universal has clearly signaled with Epic Universe that each "land" requires at least 3 rides, whereas Disney seems to have settled on 2 or even 1 (Galaxy's Edge and Avengers Campus). What do you view as the ideal blend of 3 rides? Thrill, dark, and kids? Or is it a formula that's evolving based on the premise/IP of the land?

Luke Waltermire

I’m forever hoping for a Philly live show where they cover Dutch Wonderland 🙏🏻 We went every summer for my dad’s birthday when I was little and it’s definitely where the theme park worms started burrowing into my brain.

ali

Yes to this! And also Par-King is amazing!

Amalia

The trend in Vegas hotels has been towards less and less elaborate theming. If you had to design a new Vegas resort, what would be the theme?

Aaron Abolt

@Jason, fellow Tri-State area kid. did you ever go to Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster County? the very chintzy theme park with one roller coaster and my second favorite purple dragon mascot

Jake H

What is the best airport meal you have had?

Hygge State

I don’t know how Scott could resist

Ryan O'Reilly

❤️ From the same guy who gave us the Solid Gold theme song Dare I say its got a better disco beat than SG?

Lobo

Honestly they could get her on again and make it an episode

Jen Proctor

Tragically having him be one of the creepy celebrity statues in Superstar Limo is no longer an option that’d be perfect.

Jen Proctor

What would your Star Wars personas be if you’d been able to get on the galactic starcruiser?

Jen Proctor

Did Jason ever go to Star Trek Adventure at Universal Studios Orlando? I remember doing this with my Dad and not sure if you guys have covered this yet. Thanks for the entertainment!!

Darrick Heidt

What is an underutilized or untapped theme you would like to see in theme parks? Honestly I think we are far enough away from it now that I think a 1980’s blockbuster city theme would be fun.

Andrew Ross

I recently listened to the GarfieldEATS Update episode again and had the same question. The site for the Egeez app is low-key bizarre, with such quotes as: "Cover your a*se, wear real spiderman undies. Not fakes!" And: "Close your eyes. Imagine having delicious Winnie-the-Pooh waffles for breakfast. Open your eyes."

Jonathon Pernisek

What is the most powerful animatronic that you could take on in a fight?

Dean Cooley

Which ride would you want to be stuck on for the rest of your life?

Nina Greene

Jason, what are your thoughts on the criminal turmoil and family in-fighting of the Manco & Manco (formally Mack and Manco's) pizza chain in Ocean City and Somers Point? Also are you aware of the interesting controversy of Walt's Original Primo Pizza being split up by his former partner and taking the Primo name with him?

DANIEL R Bennett

This has to have been asked, but if Podcast: The Ride was a ride, what type of ride would it be?

Jeff Rabinak

Favorite themed website? Favorite themed dvd menu?

Sarah

Last year at Orlando’s HHN, defunct IOA attraction Dueling Dragons got its own house at the event. If you could pick another closed ride (from any park!) to bring back for two months in haunted house form, what would you choose and why?

Melia Schnefke

On a scale of 1 to 10, how catchy is the theme song to Madame’s Place https://youtu.be/y2D6aanw_KQ?si=s0zzaDajhc-BBsV6

Ryan O'Reilly

As a former Magic Kingdom cast member, and utilidoor-utilizer, I gotta ask you guys: If you had full unrestricted access to backstage areas in any park, which one would you pick? Personally MK would have been my pick until the smell alone started actively encouraging me to go backstage as little as possible.

Joel Warren

Also what are your favorite lines to stand in outside of the theme park?

Peter

What yall think about monster mansion the six flags over Georgia dark ride I’ve been inkling for an episode for years? Oh yeah there’s a slightly dark history of the ride you better believe.

Peter

Are we gonna get a Splendid China ep or what

Emily

What are your thoughts on Paul Anka Swings? and which songs do you wish he would've swung?

Alex Monastra

What’s the best seller out of all your drinking at Disney themed shirts? Does it seem like non-listeners are buying them?

Fiona

Recast the late shift with actors from today plus a new director

Ben D

If you could do Nicole Kidman AMC style ad about a theme park, which one would it be? Which park can you truly say “heartbreak feels good in a place like this?”

Emma M

What ride that has opened up in the last 15 years was the biggest let down and what would you do to fix it?

Matt Vulich

Thoughts on the first two episodes of “we call it imagineering”? Tiana animatronics/preview looks pretty insane, and the preview of the new country bear show was wholesome…

Cameren Foley

Streaming Series: The Ride. I'm sure it gets suggested a lot. Ever consider a TV version of PTR, where the three of you travel to theme parks and all manners of themed entertainment curiosities? 7 seasons and a movie? Or maybe just a feature film version?

dystopika

Would you ever do a Canadian Vacation series? I feel like there are some fun quirky theme park related things that can be mined for content.

Julian Key

Can I get back in the Facebook group?

Jordan Pfluger

How’s Nathen Mazri doing?

beapeabear

With the Epic Universe preview center almost open, what do you want to see in there? And what is the special sauce that makes for a great amusement park preview center?

Spike Friedman

I just finished the documentary, I couldn’t believe my eyes as soon as the credits started and I saw “Directed by Frank Marshall”

Blair Kuehn-Smith

Good Boys: If you could each have a Pal Mickey-style interactive plush toy of any person—Pal Bob Iger, Pal Jay Leno, Pal Alan Hale, Jr., Pal Michael Eisner, Pal Jason Sheridan, etc.—who would it be and what themed entertainment would it be designed to enhance?

Philip E.

Aside from Eisner who are each of the hosts dream guests?

Heather Miller

As a follow up to this which subject would each of the hosts put out a hypothetical four hour numbered list of a video essay on?

Heather Miller

Is Harbor Hoedown still on the table?

Breanna

For the boys: Have you seen Jenny Nicholson's video on the Star Wars hotel and, if so, what are your reactions to the footage she captured and the conclusions she made? Related: Would Mike and Scott be willing to share one of those tiny rooms with Jason in the name of saving a buck?

Jonathon Pernisek

A question for each of our hosts: After so many years of friendship, what are the qualities that continue to delight you about your co-hosts? Also, for Scott: What are you thoughts on this Broadway.com coverage of Good Vibrations, the jukebox musical that ran on Broadway for 94 performances back in 2005? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5dqNBTaoBU

Jonathon Pernisek

If you could add a character meet and greet to any park, what would it be? (can be existing or new character)

Nicholas Razzante

Can Scott elaborate on being one of the first people to discover The Room? Have you met Greg Sestero?

Uncle Frankie

What is the Platonic Ideal of a Citywalk? What restaurants would you include? How would you improve on your complaints from the last Saga while still retaining that loveable loser charm of a Citywalk? If it's legitimately good all around, is the magic gone?

Melissa Wilkinson

I recently came across the connection between Jimmy Buffett and Harrison Ford. Give that a quick google if you aren’t aware of that. It might be the most PTR thing that I don’t think has come up on the podcast before

Mitchell Williamson

Each of your favorite Value, Moderate, and Deluxe Resorts at Walt Disney World?

Mitchell Williamson

I’d love to hear Scott’s thoughts on the new Beach Boys documentary on Disney Plus.

Marc Gannon

How can we integrate the dream of Westcot into Disneyland Forward?

(LAX) Andy Lomeli

Given that no one but me remembers Madame may I suggest that at least one “Madame fact” be included in every episode?

Lobo

Best mini golf you've been to? My wife says Par-King in Lincolnshire IL is her #1, but I prefer Florida mini golfs where you can feed alligators. Also, mini golf episode? They've got to be at least as well themed as car washes

Dick Ward

Holy shit

kevinasarobot

How would you conceptualize dark rides based on (or designed for) some of PTR's favorite themed restaurants?

kevinasarobot

What do you think will be the next "portal" added to Epic Universe? Obviously it'll be a long while before they do so, but the park's concept is definitely designed to expand.

Meghan Cherry

Toy Boys podcast with Griffin and Mike. Please and thank you. Also What was the name of your first pet?

Lobo

If you could make a dark ride based on any Disney animated film that has not yet been made into a dark ride, what would it be? Or What Marvel property would you use as the theme for a Deluxe Resort? (Assume that Disney had access to all Marvel properties for this one)

Mark Hodge

What's one thing Disney does really well that Universal could learn from and one thing Universal does really well that Disney could learn from?

Matt

You’ve just been appointed head of Disney resorts, what’s the smallest change you would make that you think could have the biggest impact?

JJ Sigler

Best Disneyland and DCA toilets

Jaqueline Moreno

Considering how much Mike loves the game of arranging things for theme park visits via the apps, has he ever considered becoming an official Disney and/or Universal travel agent so he can take a 10% cut of all the arrangements he makes for other people?

ES Buchman

Hey sorry if this has been asked before but if each of you could take a nap in a specific part of a ride, which part of what ride would that be?

Michael S

Each of you pitch a ride or themed attraction based on the last movie you saw

Luster

Is Scott pumped to see Green Day and Smashing Pumpkins at Sofi this summer?

Jason Feffer

What were your thoughts on Jenny’s Galactic Starcruiser video and more importantly, how do you think Andrew Barth Feldman feels about it?

Jason Feffer

In the lead up to Club 3 Mike teased Pauly Shore stories, I would like at least one Pauly Shore story please.

Andrew Koeth

I'd go to Boston! It's not even close by! Give me anything east of the Mississippi.

Chad Haefele

From Jason’s cheese danish story in MOM: what is an unexpected item you’ve ordered at a restaurant in a theme park (and then received what you ordered!!)

Emily Alston Wiatt

Thoughts on Disney’s new DAS policies? I found WDW to be the most accessible place I have ever been to as someone who needed a scooter to get around and can’t imagine being able to have the same experience waiting in the standby lines. Did they just shoot themselves in the foot?

CWW

In an Anarchy in the Arena style match between Chandu, Figment, Albert, and Orange Bird, who wins?

Ann

What theme park attraction would you sentence now-convicted former President Trump to house arrest on/in to serve out his (prison) term?

Andy McD

What is your favorite topic you’ve talked about on the show? Mine is the holy land experience since I got to walk around it right before it got demolished. It was also after a big hurricane. And I may or may not have a piece of “memorabilia” from there.

Eric Hudson

With the Patreon bucks rolling in, how are you going to decide which of yous gets to do the Asia tour? Shanghai pirates, ghibli park, mystic manor, ect ect?

Alexander Moralez

I need to know the answer to Mike’s missed question! If Jason had to choose between Jurassic Park or Toon Lagoon, which one would he keep!!?!!!

Christina

Thoughts on Airbnbs "icons" initiative, letting you stay in themed locations like the house from up and the often thought of by Mike X-Mansion.

highqualityoil

When does Jason, Good Boy King of Delco, get a hometown show???

Sarah Popek

Commenting to help get this to the top of the pile.

Alexander Moralez

What an all star cast. Podcast royalty!!

Jeff Bale

How did Scott enjoy working with George St. Geegland and (charmed I’m sure) Gil Faizon?

Danny Holt

Now that Disney+ has a Beach Boys documentary, do you think we will get a walk around Al Jardine at the parks?

Blair Kuehn-Smith

How is AI going to get integrated into theme parks? Is it going to be Westworld or Munch will know my middle name and SSN?

Thomas Westfall

Oh, and if my questions isn’t picked, can I get a shout out to Danny from Portland? We met at a death match wrestling show in LA and it turns out we’re both big PTR fans. He’s a great guy!

Steven Morel

How is Jason doing? I’m not sure if he has decided to keep it all close to the vest, but I hope all is well. Or at least under control.

Peter Delap

You have to close down one SoCal theme park: California Adventure, Universal Studios or Knott’s. Which one and why? Disneyland isn’t listed because no one would pick it, and Six Flags isn’t on the list because you’d all pick it.

Steven Morel

I still want Eva Anderson (Scott), Jenny Nicholson (Jason), and Carlye Wiesel (Mike) soooo bad

Evan Howington

With the groundbreaking find about the Micheal Eisner golfer and the ongoing research on the Space Mountain Fans. What other mysteries or rumors would you like to find hard fact answers to?

Griffin

What’s do you think is the most popular IP to not have a themed attraction anywhere in the world?

Tokyo Game Life

Scott: Brian Wilson presents Smile (2004) or The Smile Sessions (2011)? Michael: What would Mikephisto have to say about the upcoming presidential elections? Jason: If funds weren't an issue, would you: a) reopen the Marvelmania restaurant; or b) open another type of restaurant? (if so, which kind?)

Luis Misiara

To the best of my knowledge none of you are tattoo guys, but if you HAD to choose a theme park-related or adjacent tattoo to get (either something specific or even just what ride/show/park it would be based on) what would it be?

Brian Delpozo

Jason - what is your favorite Lancaster County smorgasbord. Are you a Shady Maple guy or a Miller’s man?

Natalie

According to The Beach Boys song Kokomo, “Everybody knows a little place like Kokomo.” My question for you boys is what is your personal Kokomo? Thanks!

David G

I’m going to Universal Hollywood for the first time ever soon. But I will only be there for a few hours. Obviously not ideal. What are the essential things that I should do that WONT make me motion sick??

Joe Fox

If you could go back in time and participate in the Disney College Program, what role would you want? Attractions, Custodial, Character Performer, Character Attendant, Housekeeping, Lifeguard???! The list goes on and on…

Hannah Milgrom

If each of you could ride one ride with a dead celebrity, what ride would it be and who would you resurrect?

Travis Seminara

If you could create your own character dining experience what would it be?

Elisabeth H

Blue sky Disneyland forward - no limits. What would you want to see there?

Joe Fox

What are the best benches and places to sit in Disney/Universal parks? I have a great memory sitting with my partner in the old Pixar Place eating a Num Num Cookie watching Edna Mode entertain a group of children. Also, this might've been from a long time ago, but my partner was wondering how Jason found out that Tillman Fertitta's family are "gangsters".

Conner Roy

Rock City is a really strange place.

Jeff Bale

If Bruce Vilanch suddenly recruited the Good Boys to revive the variety show with him, which IP would you base it on? Keep it real - it has to be something that can actually happen in 2024.

Matthew Comegys

Hey boys! Are you all planning to fly to Orlando to experience Tiana's Bayou Adventure when it opens? Or are you going to wait until it comes to Disneyland? Or both? Basically, WHAT IS YOUR TIANA PLAN?!?!?!

Chad Concelmo

Let’s talk about cosmic bowling. Is this a themed attraction? Or just a lame ass attempt to hype up bowling.

Thomas Monahan

You can turn the loading platform for any ride, Disney or Universal, into a bar. Which one do you choose?

Daniel Powley

Sticking with my question: Suppose the three of you took a week off and handed the podcast off to three guest hosts.... who would you choose?

Jeff Bale

Pick Dylan!!

Jeremy Ayala

What is a festival you think Epcot could introduce now that we're getting more downtime between the classics like Flower & Garden and Food & Wine? What would you like to see?

Courtney Barefoot

If/when Universal Studios removes The Simpsons land from Hollywood and Orlando, what would you like to see in its place? What IP, restaurants, shops, attractions, rides, etc? Both parks don’t have to have the same things.

Sarah Jaggers

This one is for Mike! Did you ever hear of a chuck e cheese esque place in the Chicago suburb Libertyville called Chimpys? It had a rock a fire explosion band and everything. Also you guys should do an ed debevics episode

Gina Boleaga

I want them to answer this as an actual question on the episode, “Is this a real post office episode, or is it just a bit to surprise Mike and Jason with something?”

Moshe Hyzon

Podcast: the Ride: the Essay Question

Annie Curro

This past March I received targeted ads for multiple Leprechaun-themed Haunts across the country. Are Haunts allowed outside of October? If so, what niche Haunt would you want to attend and at what time of year?

Daniel Felts

Could you do a world showcase breakdown… (left the rides out since not all lands have one and they have been talked about) -best food -best atmosphere -best architecture -best all around

Howlah

What supporting characters would the good boys like to see appear in “Madame Vision 3D!”???

David Meese

Jason, same questions for Garfield.

Kyle

Would love to hear Mike talk about this!

Brad Linden

Favorite Regis cutaway/moments from the Disney parades? RIP King “and I know you’re shining down on me from heaven…”

Brian Dowd

Would any of you do Summit Plummet at Blizzard Beach and if so, who? Also, would you ever do a second gate ep on Stitch TPing Cinderella Castle? I was there that day and Raven-Symoné was also there to sign autographs and I felt like the coolest 10 year old ever. Happy to share my experience!

Emma Chapple

Mike and Scott, as the father of 2 young kids myself, what rides/lands do you think your kids would design themselves if they had the opportunity. Alternatively, what would you create as the perfect ride for them? I'm sure my 2 year old would want a Moana dark ride that loops through "You're Welcome" 7 or 8 times.

Kyle

This is primarily a Jason question; what would be your dream blunt rotation of theme park animatronics?

Austin Beltran

If you three had to do a theoretically perpetual podcast about one musician/band/group, who would you three collectively choose? We all know Scott can do the Beach Boys, Mike has twelve he mentions every time he can, and Jason would do an 87 part dissection of the life, times, songs, and triumphs all the different Boogie Woogie Bugle Boys of Company B. But what could you three do without wanting to kill each other?

Michael 'Kikin Rad' Corless

Could you rank the theme parks you've been to most to least favorite? And feel free to say a specific iteration, for example California Adventure in 2012 or something like that, as opposed to just how the park is right this moment

Weston Blum

Any thoughts on a D23 Expo Live show like in 2019? It will be nice to have it again.

Agustin Macias

If you could pitch an immersively themed multi day HIGHLY expensive hotel experience ala Galactic Starcruiser with any property what would it be? I’m talking actors you can form relationships with, themed food, the works.

Alex Tucker

We know that Mike Loves Haunts and after Shaqtoberfest Scott is now Haunt-curious. Since it's about the time us haunt-heads start shifting into spooky mode (early June), what would each host theme a HHN-style haunted house to if given total creative latitude? The Ghost and Mr. Chicken? Peter Pan? A world without hot dogs?

Tereglith

Seconding wanting to hear Scott’s thoughts on the new Beach Boys documentary! And also: what’s your theme park merch white whale? Something you wanted as a kid but never got to have because of cost etc., or something you’ve hunted for as an adult but never found?

Christina Lohr

ok fine I'll go to New York if I have to

Annie Curro

I have but one question: Boston live show??? C'mon, I saw a guy walking down the street in a "Nice Work, Pal" t-shirt the other day, there's Cliffords aplenty!

Annie Curro

What's on your P:TR themed cruise that you'll be getting off the ground in 2026? Shows, theming, destinations (in addition to Musha Cay)

Evan Howington

Give us some more good deal sites! Deal vibes isn’t enough. We need more!

Missy

Hey guys, first time long time. Have you guys ever heard of Rock City? It could be a great stop on the Tennessee Loop. (Also the 100% scale recreation of the Greek Parthenon in Nashville.). I'll hang up and listen!

This is a Mike specific question, BUT: I’m always so impressed by the multiple interpretations of the P:TR theme music for Second Gate, Club 3, Hauntcast: The Fright, etc. What’s your process like for creating new interpolations of the theme? Have there been any ideas or attempts for other versions that ultimately didn’t make it to air?

Phrasing!

Annie Curro

Thoughts on the Frank Marshall Disney+ Beach Boys doc, Scott?

Dylan Mansfield

Which water-based attraction would you most want to experience as a lazy river? In this scenario, the water would be clean and safe for humans (even those with open wounds) to be submerged in, and tracks/other mechanical equipment/coins/dangers would be removed. Everything else would remain exactly the same.

Kate Joseph

What's the one unbuilt/rumored ride/theme park land that never happened that you most wish would have come to fruition?

Nick Cherry

For Mike, what deals have you been hiding from us lately

Thomas Lipscomb

We know a Burbank Sears episode is coming, my question is how close are we from its release?

Nard

What film that one of the parks would never adapt into a tacky 20 minute truncated stage show (like Beauty and the Beast: Live on Stage) would you most want to see adapted into a tacky 20 minute truncated stage show?

Tomas Marinara

for scott: top 5 steely dan songs? for jason: favorite book you’ve read recently for mike: not a question but a comment, ive always been interested in star trek but since it is talked about so much on the show i finally decided to start watching it and i love it so far!

ally

For Jason, what treat deserves more praise

Thomas Lipscomb

What’s your Apple Pie on the windowsill, so good it makes you levitate to it, wish or wishes for Disneyland Forward or other Future Plans for the Theme Park industry? Also, should hype start building for a live show near Anaheim in early to mid August?

Phantom23

For Scott, which beach boys song would you base an attraction off of.

Thomas Lipscomb

Did you guys watch the latest episode of we call it imagineering? If so, something didn't sit right with the singing voices they are giving the bears, the people shown have amazing beautiful voices, but it just didn't feel like they fit the spirit of the country bears, feels like it's too clean and too pristine? Maybe it will work better in the edit. What do you guys think of some of the bears having beautiful young clear as day singing voices?

I've never been to any of the Orlando resorts. I'm likely going in the coming months and will bring my wife and 3 year old son. If I had 2 days only, how would you use that time (which parks or attractions). Bonus: IF you had a 3rd day, what would you add on.

Alex Rizkowsky

What's something so outside theme parks that you're dying to do ab episode about?

Joe Cannon

Also, if you had to rank the top 5 Disney world hotels, which ones would you pick?

Thomas Lipscomb

I'd really like a segment (or full episode) called "Scott's Essential Albums." Much like The Beach Boys episode, let Scott talk about his frequent rotation of music and any obscure artists and songs - stories behind the making of those encouraged

Nick Cherry

What's the weirdest thing you've ever personally witnessed at a Disney Park? Universal? Universal is definitely weirder, right?

Clay Bird

Which theme park would be the best theme park to be stuck in for an entire week?

Taylor C

I had a dream where I met you three and mikr was rude to me, so to mike I ask; where do you get off?

Zach Strange

With the Simpsons License almost out the door at Universal, what do you see being the changes to Hollywood and Orlando? Is Hollywood getting Jimmy Fallon? Is Orlando getting a "Back to the Future : The Musical : The Ride"?

Jordan

Marry, Fuck, Kill: Boat Ride, Omnimover, Trackless Dark Ride

Seth Finkelstein

This is primarily a Jason question; what would be your dream blunt rotation of theme park animatronics?

Austin Beltran

We need a dead and company at the sphere breakdown

Tyler Post

Can we just talk about the Jenny Nicholson Star cruiser video

Andrew miller

What other favorite parks/attractions of Scott and Jason does Mike want to use his missiles on?!

David Meese

Frank Marshall is making a biopic of Jimmy Buffett. Who do you cast as young and old Jimmy? Who do you get to direct?

Ted Nitschke

Tell us what would be your worst case and best case musical festival lineup

Tina Miller

My local park is Canada’s Wonderland, which claims to be among the busiest “seasonal parks.” Seasonal meaning, closed for the winter. With two of the boys being from colder climes, I’m wondering - how can we fix the seasonal park problem? How can we celebrate the cold and ice and snow with robots, fake rocks, etc.? Are we doomed to this themeless, rideless season?

Jack O’Donnell

If you all HAD to start a separate podcast without the other boys, what would the podcasts be? PS what are your mother’s maiden names?

Josh Ries

What is your thoughts on educational themed experiences at museums and zoos and such would you have any ideas for educational topics? Ps I live in the town the Missouri wimpy's hamburgers is in and y'all need to cover it

wyatt

It seems like Mike is the only one that is dead-set on a Madame episode. If Scott and Jason had to choose a DIFFERENT ventriloquist’s dummy to spend an episode on that would exonerate the podcast from covering Madame, who would it be? Maybe there’s a marry/fuck/kill situation with the top 3 dummies?

Alex Staniloff

In the 2021 episode about the Mad T Party you said you would do an episode about Michael and Scott’s least favorite song, what are they

Christopher Vaska

You're put in charge of parks and told you have to level one land (E.g. Adventureland) on each coast, but you can replace it with any theme of your choosing, as long as it's not a revamped version of the old land. What do you choose and why?

Dylan Lee

Out of all of the robotic musicians in the theme park world, put together your dream jam band of them.

Thomas Lipscomb

Please do a best theme park toilets episode ! I need to know where the good boys like to take the kids to the pool.
