April 09, 2006 22:36 - 1 hour - 55 MBIt's a week of celebration here at CoasterRadio.com! First of all, we're celebrating our 50th episode.

CoasterRadio.com #149 - The 80's Movie Podcast
April 03, 2006 03:45 - 40 minutes - 27.8 MBIf there's one thing we love more than theme parks and roller coasters, it's the movies of the 1980's. Throughout the past year, we've often said that it would be fun to stop work on CoasterRadio.com and switch to doing a show about 80's movies. This week, we present The 80's Movie Podcast. Each week, we're going to talk about movies like The Goonies, Back To The Future, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Revenge of the Nerds, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and Ghostb...
CoasterRadio.com #148 - 10 Things I Hate About You
March 27, 2006 04:20 - 27 minutes - 18.6 MBWe think Theme Parks are a blast. We're pretty sure you agree with us because you probably wouldn't be a listener of this podcast if you didn't. But there are some really annoying things that always seem to happen whenever you visit a park these days. These things aren't awful enough to make you want to cancel your theme park trip, but they are annoying and have the ability to add frustration to your theme park day. With the help of our listeners, we have compiled a list of the Top 10 mos...
CoasterRadio.com #147 - Rollercoaster (The Movie)
March 20, 2006 03:55 - 34 minutes - 24 MBBack in the late 70's, people were crazy for disaster films. There were movies about earthquakes, airplane disasters, war and even one about roller coasters. In 1977, Universal Studios released a film about a madman (played by Timothy Bottoms) who was crisscrossing the country to set off bombs at amusement parks. He wanted the theme park chains to give him one million dollars or he would continue to blow up roller coasters and dark rides. It turns out that the only guy smart enough to sto...
CoasterRadio.com #146 - Hitting The Parks Alone
March 13, 2006 03:42 - 11 minutes - 8.16 MBTheme parks are designed as a place where friends and family can go and have a good time together. They really aren't set up for people to visit alone. For instance, there aren't any one-seater roller coasters out there. Most times if you're by yourself, there's always that huge empty seat next to you. So, while most people would never consider visiting a theme park alone, there are a lot of advantages to taking a trip by yourself. On this week's show, we'll talk about the pros and cons o...
CoasterRadio.com #145 - From The Forums....
March 06, 2006 04:30 - 25 minutes - 17.5 MBWe had a topic lined up for this week's show, but a post on the CoasterRadio.com Forums caught our eye. So, we decided to bump our planned show and talk about the debate. One of our listeners was looking into joining ACE, the American Coaster Enthusiasts. While he was reading their code of conduct, he came upon one part of the code that said... "When interacting with the media, members are expected to speak enthusiastically about all parks and roller coasters. While members may have strong...
CoasterRadio.com #144 - The Reel Design Contest
February 27, 2006 04:20 - 56 minutes - 38.6 MBThis is the time of year when all of the different Hollywood blockbusters are being honored at the various award ceremonies. What does this have to do with theme parks and roller coasters? Well, many of the best theme park attractions in history have based upon popular films. Back To The Future, Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye, Jaws, Star Tours, Kongfrontation, Superman Escape, Terminator 2: 3D, Jurassic Park, Men In Black, The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman, Revenge Of ...
CoasterRadio.com #143 - Theme Park Weddings
February 20, 2006 05:07 - 1 hour - 44.4 MBIf you're a weekly listener to this podcast, odds are you're passionate about theme parks. You might be a fan of the roller coasters, the scenery or the general ambiance, but most likely your love of theme parks is a big part of your life. Some people are so passionate that they include a theme park experience as part of their wedding. We've all seen video of people "taking the plunge" on board a roller coaster; saying their vows in the front seat with a minister and the entire bridal part...
CoasterRadio.com #142 - Listener Questions
February 13, 2006 03:35 - 49 minutes - 34.1 MBWe get a lot of questions sent our way through e-mail, the forums and the voicemail line. But because our show is set up the way it is, we don't get a chance to answer them as quickly as we'd like. So, every few months we save them all up and answer them in one show. We'll talk about a lot of different things... including Flava's HUGE MISTAKE with an Oscar nominated actress. After the show, join us in our forums to talk about your opinions. You can also record your thoughts on the Coaster...

CoasterRadio.com #139 - Final Destination 3 Preview
February 06, 2006 04:11 - 32 minutes - 22.5 MBTheme parks seem to be a popular place to shoot movies. They're colorful, loud and full of perpetual motion. Roller Coasters, in particular, seem to be something that Hollywood likes to use in its films because of the perceived danger and what seems like out of control speed. We haven't had a major studio thriller based around a roller coaster since the 1977 classic "Rollercoaster" (which we'll talk about in a few weeks.) So this week, we're going to spend the show talking about the new h...
CoasterRadio.com #138 - Winter Thrills
January 30, 2006 04:06 - 50 minutes - 34.4 MBWe'll kick off this week's show with a look ahead at some of the upcoming episodes of CoasterRadio.com.

CoasterRadio.com #137 - Pay to Play?
January 23, 2006 04:18 - 16 minutes - 11.2 MBLet's face it, one of the worst things about visiting a popular theme park are the long lines. Unless you're lucky enough to be waiting in a well themed queue like the one for Dueling Dragons at Islands of Adventure, you're probably going to be miserable. But one of the newest innovations in the amusement industry has been the how the various theme park chains have introduced ways that guests can reduce the time they wait in lines. Some of these programs, like Disney's FastPass are free wi...
CoasterRadio.com #136 - What Might Have Been
January 16, 2006 05:06 - 36 minutes - 24.9 MBOne of the fun things about having an on-line community of theme park fans around the world is that there is an abundance of information about current parks and attractions. What's even more fun is that there is also a lot of information about proposed parks and attractions that never quite made it to the construction stage. On this week's show, we're going to talk about the rides and attractions that allegedly made it to the drawing boards, but never made it to the parks themselves. For i...
CoasterRadio.com #135 - Great Expectations
January 09, 2006 03:39 - 18 minutes - 12.4 MBThis week, we bring you a very special podcast as Mike Collins sits by the fire, sipping brandy and smoking a pipe, while he reads passages from the immortal Charles Dickens classic "Great Expectations". Actually, as fun as that sounds, it's not what we're really going to do this week. Instead, each of the CoasterRadio.com guys will pick one thing that we absolutely expect when we visit a theme park. We'll also pick one thing that we absolutely do not want to see when we visit a park. So,...
CoasterRadio.com #134 - 2006 Resolutions

CoasterRadio.com #133 - Goodbye 2005, Hello 2006!
December 26, 2005 05:24 - 37 minutes - 26 MBThe year 2005 was pretty good for theme parks across the world. We saw the premiere of record breaking attractions, new high tech thrill rides and traditional forms of amusement park entertainment. We'll take a look back at the highs and lows of 2005 with Arthur Levine from about.com. We'll talk about the attractions that were big hits and some of the ones that missed the mark. We'll also preview what could be big in 2006. We'll also talk with Ian Clark from ozcoaster.net. He was one of...
CoasterRadio.com #132 - Pardon The Ripoff
December 19, 2005 04:29 - 17 minutes - 12.1 MBIf you've every spent any time watching ESPN, you've probably seen a program called "Pardon The Interruption" (PTI). It's a daily show where Washington Post columnists Tony Kornhsiser and Michael Wilbon debate the the biggest stories in sports for exactly one minute at a time. In these days of short attention spans, it's the perfect format. So, we decided to follow the homage "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" and do a direct rip-off of PTI. So, that's why this week's show is c...
CoasterRadio.com #131 - The Gravity Group
December 12, 2005 03:44 - 29 minutes - 20.4 MBThis year, Hades, the monstrous wooden roller coaster that opened at Mt. Olympus Water and Theme Park in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin won the Amusement Today Golden Ticket Award for Best New Ride in 2005. Riders were amazed by it's steep drop (140-feet at a 65-degree angle), two underground tunnels (one of which was the longest underground tunnel on a roller coaster ever), and the extreme 90-degree banked turn. The ride was designed by The Gravity Group. One of the most anticipated rides for...

CoasterRadio.com #129 - Holiday Gift Guide
November 28, 2005 04:37 - 34 minutes - 24 MBIn America, the day after Thanksgiving is the busiest shopping day of the year. Everyone crowds into the shopping malls and collectively spend billions of dollars on holiday gifts. If you listen to this show on a regular basis, odds are you're interested in buying presents for theme park and roller coaster enthusiasts. You might be looking to buy for family and friends or maybe, you're interested in buying for yourself! You won't need make a frustrating trip to the mall because we've done...
CoasterRadio.com #128 - What Are You Thankful For?
November 21, 2005 02:54 - 20 minutes - 13.8 MBIt's the week of Thanksgiving here in the United States. For most people, that means stuffing themselves full of turkey and then passing out while watching NFL football. We decided to celebrate the holiday in a different way. We asked out listeners to let us know what they are thankful for within the theme park industry. We received a lot of interesting responses and we'll share some of them with you during this week's show. Next week, the entire CoasterRadio.com gang will be back with a...
CoasterRadio.com #127 - Building Your Own Theme Park
November 14, 2005 03:23 - 23 minutes - 15.9 MBIf you're a theme park enthusiast, you've probably had a dream of building and owning your own theme park. But odds are, unless you're very well connected or a multi-millionaire, you'll never get to see your dream come true. If that isn't discouraging enough, most people would probably tell you that your dream was crazy anyway. Heck, people even told Walt Disney that his plans for a new type of amusement park were a horrible idea. They even went so far as to call it "Disney's Folly". But...
CoasterRadio.com #126 - Extreme Rides
November 07, 2005 03:34 - 16 minutes - 11.6 MBThere really aren't many rides or attractions that theme park fans won't try at least once. But there are a few rides out there that even the most hardcore enthusiasts think twice about before riding. Some people won't ride certain types of freefall rides while others won't ride attractions that spin you in circles. Some people won't ride skycoasters and some people could never bring themselves to ride any of the attractions on top of the Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas. (That picture ove...

Since Paramount is a movie company, Kings Dominion uses film-like storytelling to create their haunted mazes and attractions. When the sun goes down, they specialize in delivering intense environments that make you scream as much as they make you laugh. We'll talk about the evil carnie folks running amuck in Freakshow in 3D, the insane resid...

CoasterRadio.com #122 - Live From Fear Fest at Paramount's Kings Island
October 10, 2005 02:40 - 18 minutes - 13 MBThis week, we had originally planned to bring you an on-location show from Howl-O-Scream at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. It was going to be the first broadcast in our month long CoasterRadio.com Halloween Terror Tour. But it was raining so hard on Saturday that we and Busch Gardens decided it was best for the show (and our equipment) to postpone until next week. But luckily, Kevin and Beth (our correspondents from Ohio) and our friends at the Single Serving of Coke Podcast got a chance to vi...
CoasterRadio.com #121 - Coaster Clones
October 02, 2005 23:09 - 11 minutes - 7.63 MBHave you ever been riding on a roller coaster for the first time and sworn that you've ridden it before? It probably wasn't deja vu (the feeling, not the coaster). Most likely, you were riding an exact duplicate of a roller coaster from another park. You were probably riding a coaster clone. (Actually, the roller coaster Deja Vu is a coaster clone!) Sometimes if a theme park or a ride designer has a proven coaster design on their hands, it's less expensive for the parks to build more of th...
CoasterRadio.com #120 - Theme Park Dating
September 25, 2005 21:56 - 10 minutes - 7.43 MBTheme parks are a great place for families and friends to get together and have a good time. They're fun, loud, colorful and exciting. But are they romantic? This week, we'll talk about whether or not theme parks are a good place to start up a romantic relationship. When you think about it, there are plenty of similarities between a theme park trip and an average date. Instead of having awkward conversation over dinner, you can have awkward conversation while standing in a line. Instead of...
CoasterRadio.com #119 - HOT or NOT
September 18, 2005 22:30 - 14 minutes - 9.76 MBFor our first 10-minute show of the Fall, we're going to talk about what's HOT and what's NOT as we finish the 2005 season and head into 2006. As E.B. said during the pre-show, we're lazy. If you'll remember, we didn't plan on doing new, weekly shows during the off-season. So, the topic for this show began when one of our listeners posted a message about it in the CoasterRadio.com Forums. Hey, there is some nobility to actually admitting that we're lazy? Right? Actually, we do throw a lot ...
CoasterRadio.com #118 - The 2005 CoasterRadio.com Awards

August 21, 2005 18:10 - 50 minutes - 23 MBIf you're a theme park enthusiast, you definitely know names like Disney, Universal, Six Flags, Paramount, Busch and Cedar Fair. They are the companies behind the major theme park chains in the United States. They also account for most of the profit made in the amusement park industry. However, when it comes to customer service, cleanliness and value, most of those parks can't compete with America's Independent Parks. There are dozens of family-owned parks that strive to give their guests...
CoasterRadio.com #115 - Orlando: Beyond The Mouse
August 15, 2005 00:17 - 39 minutes - 18.2 MBOrlando, Florida is the theme park capital of the world. Millions and millions of tourists head there every year for their vacations, but most never venture away from Walt Disney World or Universal Studios to see what else the city has to offer. Most tourists never realize that Orlando is home to a bunch of other theme park and amusement facilities that offer alternative entertainment and big-time thrills; most often at a cheaper price than the big guys. On this week's show, we'll talk abo...

CoasterRadio.com #113 - European Theme Parks
July 24, 2005 22:25 - 35 minutes - 16 MBWhen we first started CoasterRadio.com, we had no idea that people from all around the world would listen. We've been making friends with people in the UK, Germany, France, Denmark, Austria and other countries throughout Europe.

So, what better way to cool off than with a CoasterRadio.com all about waterparks. Back in the day, waterparks had nothing to offer but a few tame waterslides and maybe a lazy river. Today, waterpark designers are coming up with attractions that go higher and faster than ever before. Today's water rides blast you upwards, send you spinning around in circles and give you experiences that weren't a...

CoasterRadio.com #109 - Theme Park Employees
June 24, 2005 02:30 - 31 minutes - 14.5 MBThink about the last time you visited a theme park. If it was a good trip, what made it memorable? If it was a bad trip, what made it terrible? Whatever type of trip you had, odds are it was affected by the employees at the park. Think about it! Were there long lines at your favorite roller coaster because the trains weren't being loaded fast enough? Or were the lines constantly moving because the ride crew was challenging themselves to move as many people through the ride per hour as poss...
CoasterRadio.com #108 - Backyard Thrill Rides
June 20, 2005 02:13 - 34 minutes - 15.6 MBWhen you were a kid, did you ever dream of building a theme park in your own backyard? Maybe you turned an old wagon or a Big Wheel into the roller coaster of your dreams?

CoasterRadio.com #106 - Memorial Day BBQ
May 29, 2005 05:10 - 33 minutes - 15.5 MBWe've been working really hard on the show since it premiered six weeks ago. We've taken two road trips - one to Busch Gardens Williamsburg and one to Six Flags Great Adventure. We've also been hard at work recruiting new correspondents from all over the world. If that wasn't enough, we've also been hard at work developing new content and ideas for the CoasterRadio.com website. So, we decided to take it easy this week and celebrate the kickoff of summer by inviting our family and friends ov...
