Episode 30 - Little Red Is Not Okay

[lettripp]

Thank you, too, John

So say we all!

Okay, why? I seriously can't fathom how anyone could prefer SRS. Besides the detachable guns and different shaped targets worth different points (you know, variety), overall Astro Blasters is just sharper and spiffier looking. And you can't pose like Charlie's Angels on SRS.

Without giving too many secrets away, on Space Ranger Spin I can just hold the trigger down for the duration of the ride and it's easier to aim when it's mounted (you're only moving the front of the gun as opposed to the front and the back.)

My favorite ride vehicle is the Tower of Terror elevator car at Walt Disney World, followed closely by the Test Track ride vehicle. I'd love to have a street legal version.

Just got a chance to listen and let me start by saying I HATE YOU ALL

Glad to hear Little Red is finally being reunited with his Mother on the Jungle Cruise.

I never knew Ian stayed in the Castle maybe we should dedicate and entire show to it . Scratch that because it's not like Ian would have a lot to say about it

Late to the party... I've been visiting Gary's Column.

OMG - so glad I had to listen at home instead of at work because I laughed out loud - very loud- about Pedro and darthmacho! OMG! That is awesome! I love seeing pictures of people from the boards - they never look like what I picture.

Hey John - not sure if it is my phone (because it stinks) but the app times out on me. And then when I go back into it - it buffers for an eternity. Again it could be my phone - but I thought I would mention it.

Okay so I have been a member for 10+ years. Yikes. Didn't realize....

I like how Gary is cool for a midwest guy Midwesterners are cool! Especially those of us from StL! Got a great laugh though of Gary's deadpan "I do live on your side of the Mississippi."

Mel - when we were there last week I noticed a couple mustaches. Only on men over the age of 40 and they only worked in the stores. I did not notice any beards except for 6 of the 7 dwarves.

LOL! Okay, we are here at WDW this week for spring break, and this reminds me that I need to be on mustache watch tomorrow when we head to DHS. I'm going to tweet a little reminder to myself right now.

Preach it.

My sisters are there for spring break this week too and are doing DS today! I should tell them to look out for mustaches!

"You changed the font on the menus" Plus the other 10 quotes I could post. Gary you are too funny. You could have your own comedy show.


Great show guys!

Thanks for the shout out, Ian. Could you explain to me again where you think the Hidden Mickey is? On a hand did you say? I can't find the book to give the exact description of what it said.

My favorite ride vehicle is Splash Mountain. Most "flume" type rides that I've been on, you've either been seated single file one behind the other (I believe the Disneyland version has that style) or it's a huge row. I like the double seating, and I like the carved wood style of the logs.

About the Wonders of Life Pavilion, I thought all the rides had been gutted? We got a chance to wander through for one last hurrah in 2005. It was pretty neat to see Cranium Command again, although it is quite dated. Body Wars was just awful though, way more herky-jerky than I remembered, and definitely worse than Star Tours was at that time. Many of the various stations in the main area were broken. It was pretty eerie to be in there because there were maybe 30 people tops, while the rest of the park was hustling and bustling. We got the tip to wander on over from our boat captain on Living with the Land... oh the memories of the way things were! haha

Yeah, it's gutted as far as I know. The center 'theaters' where Cranium Command and The Making of Me are now generic and able to adapt to whatever festival is going on.

We were just in there yesterday and I still enjoy just wandering around and remembering how it was.

[Melanie]

Gary you are too funny. You could have your own comedy show.

Well, there is a certain column on Facebook that has a very similar sense of humor.

[Fangorn]

I finally got around to listening to the podcast. Yet another great show. Thanks to you all for all your efforts on these.

I have to chime in on the favorite ride vehicle of all time - the Flying Saucers at Disneyland!!!

They left DL in 1966, but a similar vehicle is making a reappearance at California Adventure in June in Carsland - Luigi's Flying Tires.

Think of riding (and controlling) a giant puck on an air hockey table.

Okay when you come through the graveyard and you're going around that last bend to the left before you go into where the hitchhiking ghosts are you have to look to your right. There's a big crypt there with this creepy looking spirit in it. One of his hands is raised up in the air and he's holding a Mickey head in his hand.

That sounds like the one I'm looking for! Gracias amigo.

I'm starting to feel like noone likes me. I never get credit for anything lol.

I'm the one that talked about the Hidden Mickey Forest.

In response to some burning questions, here are a few facts about Darth Macho:

• When I say gravy, I'm talking about pasta sauce.
  

Enough said. I knew ther was a reason I liked you.
