Topic: In the Loop Podcast

The One Without Rise Of The Resistance

Legend is back and well the plan was to review Rise of the Resistance but that didn’t happen so naturally we talk about the next biggest topic – what happens when a major theme park fails to pay their power bill and got shut down. Hype level for Iron Gwazi is sky-high after Legend visited BGT this week, we predict if the massive London park will actually get built, ferris wheel water slides, listener questions and more.

IAAPA & Parkscope

Hyde dials up Parkscope Joe to talk a little bit about everything but also a lot about IAAPA. Naturally when you get the two of them together a lot is said about drinks, which begs the question what would the the In The Loop signature drink?

The Great Six Flags Debate

With it being a slower news week – as in there was no real news – Kenny and Hyde turn the episode into one giant topic: ranking the Six Flags parks. While you might be able to guess how some of the list shakes out (spoiler alert: America is not #1) there are a few surprises along the way.

Park of the Decade

With the slow news week, Legend and Hyde tackle the topic of what park wins for having the best decade. Lots of good rides were added in the last 10 years, plenty of rides removed, and even parks that closed and reopened making the decision harder than you might think.

Back To Europe Pt 2

Beard and Ranger are back with Hyde to talk about the second half of their big European trip. Does Expedition GeForce live up to the hype? What about Europa? Is it as good as people say? Listen to find out that and to hear Ranger pronounce all the strange German ride names. Who knew he knew German?

Everything From Six Flags To Defunct Coasters

If you haven’t been living under a rock this past week you can probably guess what was the big news we talked about. That’s right the new Hersheypark restaurant concept art! Doesn’t it look sweet? (Pun originally not intended). That and we touch on that little story about Six Flags trying to buy Cedar Fair. What we think happened, what could’ve happened, and what parks Six Flags will try to buy in the future. Another great week of listener questions to round out the show. But seriously though, the Hersheypark restaurant does look good.

We won’t miss Vortex

Legend, Kenny and Hyde are back and have cruise, Howl O Scream, and Illuminations/Skyliner stories. Then deep dive into Arrow and if they ever actually built good coasters before jumping into some great listener questions.

The Gaggle

A little bit of everything this week as Legend and Hyde swap cruise stories, Kenny returns from Orlando ready to talk everything HHN, we try to uncover what is going on with SeaWorld, Clementon, & American Dream, and answer your burning theme park questions.

Girthquake

Legend is finally back after like 5 months in Europe and shares tales from both the parks he hit and the crazy cities he visited. Spoiler Alert: Unlike Ranger he feels Taron is a great ride. News is covered off and listen questions are answered. Most importantly (or least importantly) find out what a girthquake is.
