Download the mp3 of this podcast

THIS WEEK:
The SkyPlex project has been up for debate over the past few months. This week, we received word out of Orlando that the project has been approved by Orange County. What does this mean for the project and why did Universal Orlando object to the project in the first place? We have some ideas.

We'll also have a Park Hopper segment that features Michigan's Adventure and their fantastic wooden coaster "Shivering Timbers."

We'll welcome The Legend and Drew the Intern from "In the Loop" to talk about their coverage of the annual IAAPA Convention. We'll discuss all of the big announcements and find out about the interesting new things found on the show floor.

We'll also have the first episode of our Holiday Classic - "A Coaster Carol!"

All this and much, much more!
