Let's serve here. 4 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 2: Okay, we are here today with a special guest. We 5 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 2: have Brady McDonald from the Orange County Register in the 6 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 2: Southern California News Group, where he is the theme park 7 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 2: reporter on all the Southern California theme parks. And we 8 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 2: usually end up talking about Disneyland, but I'll maybe coach 9 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 2: some Magic Mountain gossip out of him, maybe some nuts 10 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 2: Berry Farm. But let's start with Disneyland. Brady, thanks for 11 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,279 Speaker 2: joining me again, Thanks for having me. Let's let's I mean, 12 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,959 Speaker 2: this is what's on everybody's mind. You know what I'm 13 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 2: going to talk about. We had at either at the 14 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: haunted Mansion or caused by hanted mansion. No nobody knows 15 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 2: what it was. But is this any different than any 16 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 2: other like deaths that are like gets where they pronounce 17 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 2: them dead somewhere else. There's always that big rumor that 18 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,320 Speaker 2: nobody dies of Disneyland. They have a deal or they yeah. 19 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 3: This person didn't die, doesney Land anither? They died at 20 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 3: a hospital. But That's pretty common with any sort of 21 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,479 Speaker 3: death is you're not pronounced dead at the scene. You're 22 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,479 Speaker 3: usually pronounced dead at the hospital. The only reason you'd 23 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 3: be pronounced dead at the scene is if the paramedics 24 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 3: are all up and you're dead, like I mean, you've 25 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 3: been there for a couple of hours and so you know, 26 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 3: usually they try to transport you to the hospital. That's 27 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 3: pretty typical. 28 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 2: Do you have any information what happened? 29 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,639 Speaker 3: Well? A woman in her sixties had a medical issue 30 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 3: while she was riding the Haunted Mansion, and both Disneyland 31 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 3: Fire and Rescue and Anaheim Fire and Rescue responded. You 32 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 3: could there's a video out there of her being transported 33 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 3: through the park and they're using one of those chest 34 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 3: compression machines on her as she's being taken through the 35 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 3: park on a stretcher. And she died at the hospital. 36 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 3: We don't know her cause of death, and the reason 37 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 3: we don't know her cause of death is because it's 38 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 3: considered to be natural and not not a crime, if 39 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 3: you will, right, so they're not the police are not 40 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 3: investigating it as any sort of incident. She just had 41 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 3: a health issue on a ride at Disneyland and died, 42 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 3: and so I reached out to the corner and they said, 43 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 3: we're not investigating this. It's not it's not something we're 44 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 3: going to handle. And so the only way to find 45 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 3: out what happened to her would be either through the 46 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 3: hospital or through the family, and then maybe through some 47 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 3: sort of you know, like a GoFundMe or something like 48 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 3: that at the family post something like that. 49 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 2: Now, when you were camping out in front of her 50 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 2: house to get the scoop, were they mad at you? 51 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 3: No, I didn't camp out in front of their house. 52 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 3: We don't know who she is yet, we probably never will. 53 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 2: We don't have a name. 54 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 3: We don't have a name, We probably won't. The way 55 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 3: that these names usually come out is through the coroner's office, 56 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 3: and so since the corner's office didn't have anything to 57 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 3: do with the case, they won't be. They don't have 58 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 3: any information to release. So the other way we're probably 59 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 3: going to find out her name is if the family 60 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 3: does like a GoFundMe or something like that and tries 61 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 3: to raise some money for her funeral. But it sounds 62 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 3: like it was more or less just an unfortunate health 63 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 3: incident that happened at the park and what I would 64 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 3: say about that is there's seventy five thousand people that 65 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 3: come to Disneyland or California Venture every single day. It's 66 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 3: a small city, and not unlike any other small city. 67 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 3: You know, you're going to have heart attacks and strokes, 68 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 3: and people give birth to babies at Disneyland, and all 69 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 3: sorts of stuff happen at Disneyland. There's crimes committed, the 70 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 3: cops come and arrest people. It's a small city, so 71 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 3: things happen every single day that we don't hear about. 72 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 2: Now. Did Ace freely diet at Disneyland? 73 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 3: He was on the incredit coaster. 74 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 2: Okay, I don't want to make light of his death, 75 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 2: because you know I. 76 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 3: Don't want to make light of his death either, But 77 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 3: I'm happy to join you on that one. I was 78 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 3: a big Kiss fan, and they're very sad to hear 79 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 3: Ace's passing. It sounds like I don't know anybody that 80 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 3: trips and falls in their studio and dies, so I'm 81 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 3: guessing something else is probably at work there. But it 82 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 3: seemed like he was a little young to go, but 83 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 3: you know, seventy in his mid seventies, it's not crazy. 84 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 3: And of all the guys and Kiss. I don't think 85 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 3: people would have. He probably would have on most people's 86 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 3: lists to be the first one to go. I would 87 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 3: say somewhere between him and Peter Criss. 88 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 2: And if he died at a park, it would be 89 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 2: Magic Mountain obviously. 90 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 3: Well, because Kiss filmed The Phantom of the Park there. 91 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 3: I think they filmed one of their early seventies movies there. 92 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, they will be forever associated with Magic Mountain. 93 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 3: And what is a Revolution? I think that they were on. Yeah, 94 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 3: it was back when they were making movies like I 95 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 3: think there's a movie called roller Coaster where there was 96 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 3: like a bomb on the roller coaster or something like that. 97 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,239 Speaker 3: So it's back in the seventies when they were making 98 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 3: really bad movies. 99 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 2: And the people don't make roller coaster movies anymore. I 100 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 2: guess maybe I would like to see one. 101 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 3: Well, I think I think back in back when they 102 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 3: made that movie. I think Revolution came out in nineteen 103 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 3: seventy six because of the American Revolution, and so it 104 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 3: was new and it was cutting edge, and so it 105 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 3: was a tubular steel roller coaster that goes upside down 106 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 3: blew people's minds. So it was kind of news if 107 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 3: you will, I. 108 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: Mean, I was waiting order to eat finished, and as 109 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 2: soon as I could, got you know, some someone you know, 110 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 2: to drive me up there. I don't know who it 111 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 2: was or what happened, but I got there and I 112 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 2: went upside down, and I was, you know, thrilled. It 113 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 2: wasn't exactly what I thought it would be. I thought 114 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 2: it'd be a you know it it's so routine now 115 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 2: that yeah, it didn't. It didn't blow my mind that much. 116 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 2: But do you know, I think I've told you this. 117 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 2: I was at Magic Mountain on the day it opened, 118 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 2: was on the the I think it was the press 119 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 2: and friends and family preview day. When I hear the 120 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 2: like when I read up on it. When I say 121 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 2: read up on it, meaning when I watch a YouTube 122 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 2: video about it. They had they had like a preview 123 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 2: and my dad had made some of the signs in 124 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 2: the park. And then I got to go. It's like 125 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 2: that was that was one of the most thrilling things 126 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 2: that ever happened to me in my youth. 127 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 3: Do you remember anything about what you might have written 128 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 3: that day? 129 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 2: A A A. I kind of a like. All I 130 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 2: remember is kind of like maybe a cable car that 131 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 2: went up a hill, and there was some Japanese pagoda 132 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 2: stuff there, yep, and a lot of landscaping that was 133 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 2: not exactly finished, but it was good enough. And I 134 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 2: was thrilled. And because I had, you know, read so 135 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 2: much about the opening day of Disneyland and how I 136 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 2: just wondered, like, how, you know, nineteen fifty five, how 137 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 2: lucky would you have to be to be there that day? 138 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 2: And then I was at Magic Mountain. So I was thrilled. 139 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 2: You know, that was pretty fair. 140 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 3: It sounds fun.

But Option parachute is when they if someone 173 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 2: dies of Disneyland, you know, they don't want them to 174 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 2: die there, so they take the body, they whisk them 175 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 2: out like a tunnel, and then they get them out 176 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 2: and they drive them to knots Berry Farm and they 177 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 2: they lay them down peacefully below the parachute ride and 178 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 2: they put a chalk line around them and then they 179 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 2: run away. 180 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 3: I think that's real, But they did not execute that mission. 181 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 3: They you could. There's there's a YouTube video, of course, 182 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 3: of the woman, both the paramedics going into the on 183 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 3: a mansion with the stretcher empty, and then coming out 184 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 3: of the haunt a mansion and going right along the 185 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 3: rivers of America, whether or not taking her backstage at all, 186 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 3: taking her right to the park, which sort of tells 187 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 3: you the seriousness of the incident. And yeah, more than 188 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 3: one person videotaped being transported. I think it was on 189 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 3: TMZ and so yeah, she was taken through the middle 190 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 3: of the park. Now, whether they took her to the 191 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 3: knots and did the chalk outline and parachute, I can't 192 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 3: confirm that, but I think they took her to a hospital. 193 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 2: Well. I think those crisis actors did a great job 194 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 2: of pooling the media once again. But that's the last 195 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about this, Brady. I know, I 196 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 2: know that it's not funny and it's not fun, but 197 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 2: I can't help myself, but I will. I will say 198 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 2: prayer for this patron who I don't know. I mean 199 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 2: being born at Disneyland and by dying at Disneyland. These 200 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 2: are there's something kind of cool about it. 201 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 3: That's what I did too. I said a prayer for 202 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 3: her and her family. You know, it's it's pretty easy 203 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 3: set up to make jokes about it, but you know, 204 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 3: I mean a family lost a loved one and and 205 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 3: someone passed away, so it's always it was on the 206 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 3: edge of newsworthy. I think if she had had a 207 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 3: heart attack, say, you know, while eating lunch at Disneyland, 208 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 3: not sure that's news. I think what made it poly 209 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 3: news was the fact that she was on the on image. 210 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 3: But outside of that, people people go into cardiac arrest 211 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 3: or have a stroke or have some sort of medical 212 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 3: issue at Disneyland often and they get and or even 213 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 3: more minor incidents, and they're transported all the time to 214 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 3: local hospitals. People do dumb things and get arrested at Disneyland, 215 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 3: and people I think it's a good idea when they're 216 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 3: nine months and four days pregnant, to around Disneyland to 217 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 3: try to kickstart the berth. And they do, and they 218 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 3: go into labor at Disneyland, and so that happens all 219 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 3: the time, not like every day, but like at least 220 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 3: once a month, a couple times a month, something like 221 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 3: that happens. 222 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 2: It is intentional that people are doing this, you believe. 223 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 3: Well, you know, I think it's sort of an old 224 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 3: wives tale or tradition that women when they're like, come on, 225 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 3: when's this baby gonna come, Let's go for a walk. 226 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 3: And then they're like, well, it's not coming. Let's just 227 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 3: go to Disneyland can get a lot of steps in there, 228 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 3: and you're like, oh, wait a second, we're now twenty 229 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 3: minutes away from the hospital we need to be at, 230 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 3: and we're also fifteen minutes away from the front gate, 231 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 3: you know, so like it takes a little longer than 232 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 3: you might expect. 233 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 2: And then you got an anchor baby. 234 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 3: You got an anchor baby. 235 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's crazy. But I mean, you know, these 236 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 2: these Disney weirdos. No, I mean, you and I are 237 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 2: not Disney wordos, but these people are Disney ridos. 238 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 3: We're not anywhere near Disney weirdo, are you? 239 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 2: And I thank you? Okay, So other than that we 240 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 2: have at Disneyland right now, what's going on is we 241 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 2: have the the tail end of Halloween is happening, and 242 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 2: then what happens well. 243 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 3: Tailor and Halloween's happening Ogi Boogie Bash, which is the 244 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 3: big after hours party that seems to be the bigger 245 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 3: of the two things. Halloween is a busy time at 246 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 3: the park, but it's not the busiest time at the park. 247 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 3: The busiest time at the park is, for sure, Christmas. 248 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,599 Speaker 3: I would say Christmas is the busiest time of the 249 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 3: year at the parks. Now it's not summer anymore, it's Christmas, 250 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 3: and it pretty much they've already got snow in the castle. 251 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 3: They've had snow in the castle for almost a week now. 252 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 3: Part of the reason they put snow in the castle 253 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 3: this early is they want to film a couple of 254 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 3: TV shows, Christmas TV shows, and they film them generally 255 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 3: after hours, sometimes later in the day, and they want 256 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 3: to make it look Christmas. He around the castle while 257 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 3: they're filming the show. So rather than photoshop that in 258 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 3: or cgi that in, they you know, they put it 259 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 3: out there a little earlier than normal. So the last 260 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 3: two weeks of Halloween season usually has quite a bit 261 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 3: of Christmas stuff mixed in. 262 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 2: Now the okay, so the things that since the last 263 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 2: I've talked to you. There's been some new things at Disneyland, 264 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 2: like the Walt Disney animatronic thing of the Walt Disney Story. 265 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 2: What do they call that over there at the Lincoln. 266 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's pretty close. It's a mouthful. I think it 267 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 3: is something like that, The Walt Disney Story. Yeah, basically, 268 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 3: they have a new animatronic show starring Walt. Walt Disney 269 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 3: Animatronic where they tell the story of Walt and take 270 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 3: you up to They kind of take you up through 271 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 3: his death and the birth of disney World, but mostly 272 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 3: focused on sort of the birth of Disneyland. 273 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 2: He didn't have more jokes. 274 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 3: Well, there's definitely more jokes here. The thing I just 275 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 3: found out was the Walt Disney animatronic weighs two thousand pounds. 276 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 3: That's a ton that is just incredibly heavy, and it 277 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 3: tells you why it took them so long to build 278 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 3: this thing. It has got to be complex. 279 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 2: I heard the one that coming out next year is 280 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 2: a lot lighter and smaller. 281 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 3: Is there a joke that's coming after that? 282 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 2: It's such an Apple iPhone joke. Okay, the next version 283 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 2: is gonna be a smaller and later it'll be something 284 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 2: you could he could hold in your hand. 285 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, that was sort of one of the critiques of 286 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 3: the Walt was that he didn't look enough like Walt 287 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 3: and his face was a little too broad. What I 288 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 3: would say about that is, if you make him look 289 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 3: too much like Walt, there's this problem of falling into 290 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 3: what they call the uncanny valley where he looks too 291 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 3: like Walt and it freaks people out. So there's probably 292 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 3: a little bit of that where they don't want to 293 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 3: make him look exactly like Walt. But I'd say the 294 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 3: other big problem is there is just a ton of 295 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 3: electronics and pneumatics and everything that need to go into 296 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 3: his head to get all of his facial features to move, 297 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 3: and you need a wide enough neck and a wide 298 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 3: enough head to hold all that stuff to make it 299 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 3: look real. He's probably a little bit taller and bigger, 300 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 3: much like when you make a statue, they tend to 301 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 3: be a little bit bigger than in real life. So 302 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 3: he's probably a little bit bigger than real life so 303 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 3: that he will read to the audience well. But even 304 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 3: with that said, his whole body needs enough room to 305 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 3: run all those wires and pneumatics up there, and so 306 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 3: that's probably why he looks a little bigger than most 307 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 3: people wanted them to. 308 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, when I saw him, my feeling was if you 309 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 2: put Abraham Lincoln up there, we all look at it 310 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 2: and go, man, that looks just like Abraham Lincoln. But 311 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 2: it's like, really, when did you see Abraham Lincoln and 312 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 2: you got any video of him? But we have so 313 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 2: much film and video and photographic records of Walt Disney 314 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 2: that we're very used to him and how he really looked. 315 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 3: But we even fifty sixty, seventy years later. 316 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, because there's just so much footage, but we don't 317 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 2: have any footage of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, uh, Socrates, 318 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 2: all these people their statues around. We don't know what 319 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 2: they really look like. But we really do know what 320 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 2: Walt Disney looked like. And evidently he looked like the 321 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 2: Mypello guy, which which I thought was hilarious. That that's like, 322 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 2: you know, you always have your haters and your trollers 323 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 2: or whatever, and that's what they came out with. He 324 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 2: looks like the Mypellow guy. It's like, it's so unfortunate. 325 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 3: I think the hard part for them is that they 326 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 3: run a fifteen minute film full of pictures of Walt 327 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 3: before they show the animatronics. So not only have people 328 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 3: seen pictures of him before, they've seen him pictures of 329 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 3: him before ten seconds before. So like, you're a pretty 330 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 3: good person and we're gonna win. Yeah, you're not gonna 331 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 3: win that game. I don't think the film that there's 332 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 3: showing is like twenty or twenty five years old. It's 333 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 3: been playing over in Disney World for for a couple 334 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 3: of decades, so it's a relatively old film that's been 335 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 3: lightly edited to sort of make it a little bit 336 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 3: more Disneyland focused. But you know, it's not a new movie. 337 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 3: And and so we're going to get a new We 338 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 3: believe we're going to got a new Abraham Lincoln too, 339 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 3: because this is this Walt Disney that's in there is 340 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 3: probably one of the most sophisticated animatronics in existence. And 341 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 3: then now they're going to need the Abraham Lincoln to 342 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 3: look as good because they're going to play side by 343 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 3: side on some days. 344 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 2: Now, are we going to get a new John Stamos 345 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 2: or are we going to Are they just going to 346 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 2: keep running with the same the other one that just 347 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 2: keeps walk around the park. 348 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 3: I don't think he's an animatronic as far as I 349 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 3: can tell. 350 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 2: I see they've got to you, Brady. 351 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know. I don't think that they might put 352 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 3: him in the Hall of President's over in Florida. But 353 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,679 Speaker 3: I don't think he's won on the election yet, so 354 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 3: now we're probably not What was the name of the 355 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 3: rye that theis I've ever had a California adventure? Uh, 356 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 3: Superstar Limo was he. 357 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 2: Gosh, you had Drew carrying it. 358 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 3: Drew carrying it? They WHOOPI Goldberg in it. They had 359 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 3: Jackie Chan and Jackie Chan is still well, yes, I 360 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 3: guess we still have monsters over there. Jackie Chan animatronic 361 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 3: is still in the attraction. If you look, there's a 362 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 3: one of those guys that cleans up after the monsters 363 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 3: when they the monsters, when the Newman escape into the 364 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 3: Monster world, they had the vacuums and there's a guy 365 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 3: doing a karate chop. Like, why on Earth is this 366 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 3: guy doing a karate chop? It's like, Oh, they just 367 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 3: used the Jackie Chan animatronic and didn't change anything. We 368 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 3: just put him in a like a hazmat suit. And 369 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,360 Speaker 3: so a lot of those animatronics from Superstar Limo are 370 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 3: still in that ride. They just kind of redressed them 371 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,719 Speaker 3: and they had to come up with some reason. They 372 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 3: have a guy doing a karate chop. It doesn't make 373 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 3: any sense, but. 374 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 2: Of that, Brady, we are breaking news here. Now the 375 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 2: that's in the Monsters Inc. Ride or what is it? 376 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, Monsters Incrowd over in Hollywood Land. 377 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, what goes on in that ride? I forgot because 378 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 2: I remember they used to have a drying thing over there, 379 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 2: and that's not a shooting game. But so what is 380 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 2: the Monster's Inc. Ride goes on? 381 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,199 Speaker 3: It's a dark ride, but you just go through the 382 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 3: story of the Monsters Inc. Original movie. They're making a 383 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 3: really cool Monsters In coaster out in Florida, which i'd 384 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 3: prefer to have here, but to what we do have. 385 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 3: But the Monster's Inc. Ride that is there is short lived. 386 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 3: It's going to be replaced by the new Avatar Land. 387 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 2: Oh okay, so let's get to that. The new what 388 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 2: do we know now about the new Avatar Land that 389 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 2: is being built in the Disney California Adventure going. 390 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 3: To go on Hollywood Land, or at least part of 391 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 3: Hollywood Land sort of across from the Marble Land, and 392 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 3: it'll have at least one of attraction. It'll be a 393 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 3: boat ride. It looks like it'll be I don't know 394 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 3: if you can use the word thrilling right, but it 395 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 3: won't be like it won't be like The Small World 396 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 3: or something like that. They'll have a little bit of 397 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 3: excitement and thrill an adventure to it. 398 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 2: And they have in Florida at the at the the Avenue. 399 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 3: Now that's a very leisurely sort of Small World type ride. 400 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 3: This one is gonna well, they haven't actually said, but 401 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 3: we think it's going to be like The Pirates of 402 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 3: the Caribbean that is in it in Japan. I think 403 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 3: it's in Japan that is very exciting. The boat actually 404 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 3: pivots and moves and and so we think it's going 405 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 3: to be that. Disney hasn't said it. And then we'll 406 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 3: have there'll be a fully themed land to the second movie, 407 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 3: which was I think called The Way of Water. And 408 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 3: so we haven't had a date set for that, but 409 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 3: we have seen some concept art and it looks like 410 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 3: it's going to be pretty great. It'll be the West 411 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 3: Coast version of Avatar Land that they have out at 412 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 3: Animal Kingdom. 413 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 2: In Florida, just with Jackie Champ. Just with Jackie Champ, 414 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 2: what about that Avatar ride in Florida, which might be 415 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 2: the greatest ride that the Disney properties have anywhere. When 416 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 2: you get on that flying ride on Avatar, they're not 417 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 2: gonna They're not gonna throw that one in Anaheim. 418 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 3: Doesn't seem like it's So my take on the way 419 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 3: that Disney does themed lands now is you get one 420 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 3: ride to start with, and then they add one or 421 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 3: two rides in like five years or ten years so 422 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 3: to build it out. And so my expectation is that 423 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 3: they'll do something like that that they've left some room 424 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 3: to put another ride somewhere. It doesn't seem like we 425 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 3: would get that ride because they want to base this land. 426 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 3: So the land out in Florida is based off of 427 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 3: the first movie. They want to base this land here 428 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 3: in California off of the second movie. In the third movie, 429 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 3: and so that that ride was sort of based on 430 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 3: the first movie. But it is a great ride. I 431 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 3: didn't know you would consider it to be the greatest 432 00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 3: ride ever. 433 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 2: I think it was when it first came out, it 434 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 2: was the greatest ride ever. 435 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 3: But I think it would be in the top ten 436 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,880 Speaker 3: of that category. For sure, probably a top five. 437 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 2: Now the other one they have there, I think it 438 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 2: might be a Marvel themed one where the roller coaster 439 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 2: your your your roller coaster seat moves around like kind 440 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 2: of revolves and and uh it spins you. 441 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you're talking about Guardians of the Galaxy. 442 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good. 443 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 3: That's a good one. It's it's still I think probably 444 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 3: considered a family ride. It does. I don't think it 445 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 3: has any inversions. I don't think it goes upset down. 446 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 3: I could be wrong about that, but it is. It's 447 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 3: what what Disney does really well is it has a 448 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 3: great deal of storytelling, which you usually don't get in 449 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 3: a roller coaster. And so it's a little bit like 450 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 3: Space Mountain. But if Space Mountain had the ability to 451 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 3: control where the coaster cars were pointing at any time 452 00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 3: and show you a story or tell you a story 453 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 3: as they were, you don't really get much of a 454 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 3: story once you get inside Space Mountain. It's just a ride, racing, 455 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 3: racing ride. 456 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 2: Through the dark, and okay, well let's move over to 457 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 2: We're moving over to Tiana's whatever adventure you adventure. A 458 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 2: couple of times it seems to be just as fun 459 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 2: as the Uncle Remas themed ride they had before. And 460 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 2: the the problem I had with Uncle Remus ride was 461 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 2: they they they reused all those characters from America sings. 462 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 2: I thought that was pretty lazy. But h Splash Mountain, 463 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 2: that's what it was called. Very dark, you know, like 464 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 2: like those stories some of them are dark about dead 465 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 2: possums or dead whatever. 466 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 3: Uh, getting caught in the briar patch. 467 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 2: I mean, I really liked it. But I liked that movie. 468 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 2: But the Tiana movie and the Tiana thing and the 469 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 2: Tiana's restaurant and all this stuff. How's that going over? 470 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 3: Well? Are you a fan of Tiana's and and. 471 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 2: I haven't seen it yet? 472 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 3: Oh okay, okay, well spoiler alert. It's been out for 473 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 3: twenty twenty five years. 474 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 2: So first of that is, I haven't seen The Incredibles. 475 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 2: And I'm building a house. And this's like that Cootino 476 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 2: place where they have a have a parhouse that's a 477 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 2: replica of the Incredibles house that they lived in. I've 478 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 2: been in that house. Well actually i've just been around 479 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 2: it while they're they're constructing it. But I haven't seen 480 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 2: the movie yet, so that's the first time I listen. 481 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 2: Then I'm going to see Tiana's. 482 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,160 Speaker 3: W Yeah, so do you so move into that neighborhood? 483 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 3: Is there a requirement that you have to watch all 484 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 3: Disney animated movies, watch the entire catalog before you can 485 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 3: move in. 486 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 2: Well, if there is, then, uh, you know, I don't 487 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 2: want I don't want to do that. 488 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 3: Okay. Yeah, there's a whole lot of Tiana right now 489 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 3: in Disneyland, and we're got a restaurant, we're gonna we 490 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 3: got a ride, and we got it one or two shops, 491 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 3: two shops. I would say that the land is almost 492 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 3: she was almost a land entirely themed her. I hate 493 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 3: water rides. I think water just belongs at a water park. 494 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 3: I don't want to get wet when I'm a theme park, 495 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 3: and so I've ridden this the minimum amount that I'm 496 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 3: required to ride it for my job. I usually go 497 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 3: on it with like two ponchos, one over my body, 498 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 3: one over my legs. I just don't want to be 499 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 3: walking around a theme barg wet. So this ride was 500 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 3: never going to be a winner for me. I rode 501 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 3: Splash Mountain once before closed, just so I could say 502 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,239 Speaker 3: I've been on Splash Mountain to be able to compare it. 503 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 3: But that said, this is they did a very good 504 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 3: job on this ride, and I liked it if I 505 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 3: could have ridden it without getting wet, which is the 506 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 3: stupidest thing you can say about a splash mountain type 507 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 3: but the actual story in there, the work that the 508 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 3: imagineering did in there, I thought they did a great 509 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 3: job for folks who liked that water ride. It's a 510 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 3: fun ride to ride. I think it's There's been some 511 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 3: debate as to whether it's more splash here or less 512 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 3: splash here, whether they can control the splash. I think 513 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 3: it's about the same. It's pretty much the same ride 514 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 3: with a new skin over it. And I liked it 515 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 3: for for for what it was. If I was trying 516 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 3: to review it for people to like water. 517 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 2: Rice, yeah, and evidently they you know, they had to 518 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 2: make some changes over there. My suggestion was to make 519 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 2: a Deliverance ride, but then I was told that it's 520 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 2: not a Disney movie. So a fine Tiana is a 521 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 2: Disney movie. Great, But you know, when I have my 522 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 2: own theme park, you know, I get to do my 523 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 2: own right. Speaking of people with their own theme parks. 524 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 2: When I worked at CBS Television, the Jet Row Max 525 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,959 Speaker 2: Bear Junior came came in one day because we were 526 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 2: making a Beverly Hill Billy special and he had the 527 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 2: plans and he was running around for the Beverly Hill 528 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 2: Billies theme park that he was trying to sell, and 529 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 2: he brought him in my office with all these Beverly 530 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:16,679 Speaker 2: Hillbillies themed rides and you know, Granny's kitchen and shooting galleries. 531 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 2: Uh so that was pretty thrilling. Didn't ever get off 532 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 2: the ground. They could have put in over by Japanese 533 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 2: village maybe when that went under, But I'm still a 534 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 2: little bit sad about that. You didn't that didn't come 535 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 2: across your radar. 536 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 3: So there have been so many. It's very very easy 537 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:36,959 Speaker 3: to draw a picture and sound I'm going to make 538 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 3: a theme park, right, so that's a whole other thing 539 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 3: to actually put the shovel on the ground and the 540 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 3: build these rides, and usually people don't get that far. 541 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 3: They get to the drawn pictures part. The two people 542 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 3: I can think of right now that are in they 543 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 3: I want to build a theme park phase are the 544 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 3: comedian Nate Bergazi and mister Beast, which I think is 545 00:28:55,480 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 3: some sort of uh you know, influencer instagrammar or YouTuber 546 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 3: type tune that has one hundred million followers, and so 547 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 3: they both want to build theme parks. What they would 548 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 3: be about. I'd be great if they could resurrect, you know, 549 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 3: the Beverly Hills abilities as a themed land in their park. 550 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 3: But guessing that's probably not going to happen. But I'm 551 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 3: anxious to see what the heck they think their theme 552 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 3: parks are going to be. 553 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 2: Okay, now, so my next question for mister Brady McDonald, 554 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 2: whose whole job is to run around and make sure 555 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 2: these theme parks, make sure we have enough information so 556 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 2: we can make the right choices at the theme parks, 557 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 2: why don't you tell me what your top three rides are? Now? 558 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 3: Top three rides? Well, when I always say and these 559 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 3: may not they might be in different categories, I would 560 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 3: always say X two at Magic Mountain. It scares me 561 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 3: to death and it is the scariest coaster I've ever 562 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 3: going to my life. And I love having it in 563 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 3: my backyard because I love having the best coaster in 564 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 3: the world at a park that I go to, so 565 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 3: I can use it to beat other people over the 566 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 3: head and say mine's better than yours. And so I 567 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 3: would say X two's up there. As a coaster. I'd 568 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 3: say Rise of the Resistance is certainly one of, if 569 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 3: not the best ride in the world, both here in 570 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 3: California and out in Florida. And then what would my 571 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 3: third ride be. I don't know, that's a good question. 572 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 3: I would say that's my number one coaster, number one 573 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 3: dark ride. I would say my third one, I'll take 574 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 3: sort of a cheat, and my third ride is actually 575 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 3: an entire park in Pennsylvania called Canobles, And what they 576 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 3: do is they take old rides from the fifties and sixties, 577 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 3: refurbish them, and then let everybody ride them instead of 578 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 3: it's like a campground up in the mountains in Pennsylvania 579 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 3: park that a lot of people don't know about. And 580 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 3: it's just full of all these old, great classic rides 581 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 3: that literally give you bumps and brus You leave there 582 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 3: black and blue because you're riding these old nineteen fifties 583 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 3: sixties rides that are literally duct taped together so they 584 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 3: can have the padding where there was never padding. And 585 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 3: so I love I loves Cannobles. 586 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 2: How do you spell that? 587 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 3: It is? Kay n O b E ls. 588 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 2: I think, do you know there's a there's a Disney 589 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 2: park just outside of Detroit. We're actually in Detroit, and 590 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 2: it's called Disney and the guy has a bunch of 591 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 2: weird rides and it's like, I know, it's a it's 592 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 2: just some trademark thorn in their side and they can't 593 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 2: get rid of the guy. 594 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 3: Really, I'd love to go to that. 595 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 2: I'll send you some info on that. I was shocked 596 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 2: because I never heard about it, even doing this radio show, 597 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 2: and my friend who actually lives in Detroit told me 598 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 2: about it. It's got a problem. I mean, there's intellectual 599 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 2: property problems, but somehow the guy's still operating some kind 600 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 2: of weird I can't remember exactly what it looked like 601 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 2: because a WHI would go the last time I took 602 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 2: a look. But did you know you weren't around here 603 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 2: when we had the pike in Long Beach. 604 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 3: I haven't. I've written a little bit about the pike. 605 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 3: I would have loved to have been here during the 606 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 3: pike days. But that's sort of what's out at Canobyls, 607 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 3: and like there's old pike like rides that. 608 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 2: Where it's where it's not was it wasn't really supposed 609 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 2: to be but it needed to be. 610 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 3: Right because it was a metal beam that you would 611 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 3: bang your head or your shoulder against. Yeah, but there's 612 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 3: the other Canobles is just a beautiful park. It's up 613 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 3: in the up in the It's like like a campground 614 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 3: up in the mountains. And they have great food and 615 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 3: so it's just a wonderful day. And it's very unincorporate, right, 616 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 3: Like they have three carousels because the guy loves to 617 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 3: collect carousels, so and so it's it's a fun part 618 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 3: if you're looking for something offbeat to do. It's sort 619 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 3: of out near Hershey Park in that general neck of 620 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 3: the woods. And I love it. And so when people 621 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 3: say what your favorite park, I always say that that's 622 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 3: my favorite park, more than Disneyland, more than Universal, more 623 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 3: than anything else. 624 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 2: I'm going to go to Kenoble's next time I'm in 625 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 2: that area. Yeah, Okay, So what's on the horizon for 626 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 2: Disneyland other than the We talked about the Avatar, but 627 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 2: what else has happened? What's buzzing over there? 628 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 3: So it looks like there's four attractions that are coming 629 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 3: to Disneyland. Avatar the Land will probably the last one. 630 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 3: We get the first one we'll get will be some 631 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 3: sort of Marble attraction and Aventures campus, and more than 632 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 3: likely we'll be this Avatar ride that will put you 633 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 3: on the end of like a paint mixer spin you 634 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 3: around to take you up. There's also going to be 635 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 3: a King Panos ride, and then sometime in there there'll 636 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 3: be a Cocoa ride as well. So the first one 637 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 3: probably will be one of the Marble rides, likely the 638 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 3: Iron Man Ride. 639 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna start that part of it. Okay, So 640 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 2: we're going to see you at Candlelight. 641 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 3: Ah, yeah, I'll probably be there. I've been total four 642 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 3: or five times. Have you ever been? 643 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I usually go, and I'll go this year on 644 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 2: December seventh. And if you don't know what it is, 645 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 2: it's a celebration of the story of Christmas. They read 646 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 2: from the Bible, the actual Bible, and I think it's 647 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,919 Speaker 2: a Gutenberg Bible maybe even it's so old. And they 648 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 2: have a like a Disney type celebrity, like a John Stamos, 649 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 2: maybe a Dick Van Dyke, and they read and it's 650 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,840 Speaker 2: pretty amazing. In the singers from high schools and groups 651 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:39,720 Speaker 2: all around southern California. They light up the Main Street 652 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 2: area with all this Christmas music, a live orchestra, and 653 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 2: if you don't have seats, you can just you know, 654 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 2: stand up and down Main Street and just try to 655 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 2: get as good as show it. You're gonna hear it, 656 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:50,359 Speaker 2: you're gonna love it. 657 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 3: Good dating go and you get to you get to 658 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 3: see the like the six hundred choir members that march 659 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 3: along Main Street to get to get to the stage 660 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 3: up on the train station there. So it's it's truly 661 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 3: a spectacle. It's really beautiful. It's wonderful that they do 662 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 3: that in the park.

I really enjoy it. What else is happening, Well, 697 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 2: let's check out the box office. H Right now, it's 698 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 2: looking like Black Phone two, the horror sequel from Universal. 699 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,880 Speaker 2: It's good done about twenty four to twenty five million 700 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 2: dollars and number two Tron Week two puts it in 701 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 2: second with a few million. Number three Good Fortune from Lionsgate. 702 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:26,800 Speaker 2: That's Ausi's on. Sorry's R rated comedy. Yeah, doing okay, 703 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 2: six to eight million. Number four. Truth and Treason faith 704 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:37,280 Speaker 2: historical drama, opening in low single digits for the weekend. 705 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 2: But those don't cost them that much to make, so 706 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 2: probably a success. One battle after another. This is going 707 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,880 Speaker 2: to get some awards, and I think it'll have a 708 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:53,279 Speaker 2: steady income until we get to awards season. Haven't seen it. 709 00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,399 Speaker 2: I recommend it. I recommend it. Some people say it's 710 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 2: kind of a woe celebration of Antifa and that all 711 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,359 Speaker 2: the black and brown people are heroes and the white 712 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 2: people are either dumb or stupid or corrupt, and maybe, 713 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:11,839 Speaker 2: but you know, I'm kind of used to that from 714 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 2: movies right now, so I don't, you know, I just 715 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,840 Speaker 2: put that aside. Try to enjoy the movie. To me, 716 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:21,319 Speaker 2: the theme was Antifa and people like them have you know, 717 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 2: wonderful dreams and wonderful hopes, but they are a fantasy 718 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,399 Speaker 2: and if you waste your life on it, it will 719 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,719 Speaker 2: be an unhappy and wasted life. And that's I think, 720 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 2: that's what I got out of the movie. Okay, that 721 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,319 Speaker 2: does it for now. Next week, you know, I'm going 722 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,800 Speaker 2: to be in London. There's a screening of the film 723 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 2: I produced called I Was a Teenage Sex Pistol. It's 724 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,319 Speaker 2: the Glenn Mattlocke story that is premiering in London at 725 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 2: the Barbican Theater on Thursday. If you're around, see you there. 726 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 2: We premiere the Harbor surf documentary The Harbor Chronicles, that 727 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 2: I wrote and produced at the Port Film Festival this week. 728 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 2: You could tonight.
