Runaway Railway Grand Opening

contact@orlandoparkstop.com (Theme Park Stop) — Wed, 11 Mar 2020 15:18:11 +0000

Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway has officially opened at Disney's Hollywood Studios, so we're discussing what opening day was like and Alicia's thoughts on the ride, plus some fun facts and hidden things about the new attraction. Ride spoilers start at 9:30 so you can listen to the first part for a non-spoiler review. (And we may have snuck in a little Bourne Stuntacular update in there too.)

The Mandalorian Season One Review - ParkStop+ Podcast #3

contact@orlandoparkstop.com (Theme Park Stop) — Sun, 5 Jan 2020 16:13:54 +0000

In our third Disney+ discussion we are joined once again by Adam, AKA MovieGuy365, and Peter Tedone of Disney Magic Hour Podcast, to give our overall thoughts on The Mandalorian season one. We also discuss our favorite moments from the last four episodes, our predictions for season two, and even go into what we think the future might hold for Star Wars in general, both on the small and big screen.

Somehow we managed to not include any spoilers for Rise of Skywalker, (but we do express some of our feelings on the new film as compared to other Star Wars media in general). Enjoy!

Universal Orlando's 4th Gate

contact@orlandoparkstop.com (Alicia Stella) — Fri, 7 Dec 2018 15:17:00 +0000

Today we're looking at that giant new theme park Universal Orlando doesn't want you to know they're building. It's located a few miles south of the current resort, near the Orange County Convention Center. We're calling it the 4th gate because Universal has called Volcano Bay their 3rd gate, so while this is technically their 3rd THEME PARK in Orlando, it's their 4th GATE. We're going over technical details like permits filed for new roads, parking lots and water drainage, but also exploring rumors for new ride systems and exciting properties to fill out this new theme park. Hooray for Fantastic Worlds (or whatever they end up calling it)!
