CoasterRadio.com: The Original Theme Park Podcast CoasterRadio.com Network

"The Beast" at Kings Island is an iconic roller coaster. Even members of the general public from around the world have heard of it. So would it be a crazy idea if the park essentially built a second roller coaster and then just connected it to the original Beast? We'll talk about that along with a bunch of other news and rumors. PLUS, we'll take your listener questions!

There were two "new for 2025" attraction announcements made this week and EB only likes one of them. We'll let you know which one it is. Also, the guys talk about the possibilities with the "All Park Passport" that could be offered by Cedar Fair legazy parks.

A strike averted at Disneyland. An amazing ticket deal at Universal Orlando. A first review of Phoenix Rising. A piece of advice from E.B. Plus, the final drink in the "Tiki Takeover!"

This week, EB has details about his weekend trip to Coney Island and Six Flags New England! In New York, EB met up with Deno from Deno's Wonderwheel Park and explored the iconic attractions. He even got to operate their Vekoma Suspended Family Coaster - Phoenix! At SFNE, EB met up with theme park journalist Arthur Levine and has reviews of rides like Superman: The Ride!

This week, Mike and EB take a look at the upcoming opening of Epic Universe at Universal Orlando and the unique ticketing system that will be in place. In the Quick Hits segment, they talk about the Mega Movie Parade at Universal Studios Florida, the upcoming Phoenix Rising roller coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, and a news story about a drunk, naked guy at an amusement park. There's also some discussion about the safety of carnival rides and a live trip report from Knobels! They also introduce the Pirate Grog cocktail and talk about EB's upcoming theme park trips to Coney Island and Six Flags New England.

This week, a classic tradition returns and a new tradition begins! We kick off the show about what things are like now that we live in the era of a Cedar Fair-Six Flags merger.
But in the second half of the show, we join forces with our friends from BG Reynolds for the "CoasterRadio.com Tiki Takeover." We will create a tiki drink called "The Cursed Concoction" as a tribute to all of the fantastic theme park attractions that have a dreaded curse as part of their storylines.
Then, to celebrate America's Independance Day, EB will risk life and limb by getting his wireless micophone as close as he can to his backyard fireworks! It's the 2024 Sparktacular Exploosioloosa!
