CoasterRadio.com #541 - "Pre-Game" Rituals
And each of us has unique things that we like to do to get in the proper mindset for a day of non-stop fun at the parks.
On this week's show, we talk about all of the different "rituals" that amusement fans take part in before reaching the park.
As always, the CoasterRadio.com audience steps up big time to tell us about the specific things they do before their big trips.
For instance, one of our female listeners called in with a story about how she and her friends prepare for their yearly trip to Dorney Park. Perhaps it looks like the attached photo? Maybe not.

CoasterRadio.com #540 - Project XL - The World at 40
They know everything there is to know about Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Uncle Walt, Imagineering and pretty much anything else related to the Disney Company and their theme parks.
There's even a group of diehards who organize "unofficial" fan celebrations at the Disney Parks in Orlando and Anaheim.
October 1st, 2011 marks the 40th anniversary of the Walt Disney World Resort, and a group called WDWCelebrations will be hosting an unbelievable fan-organized event to complement the official activities offered by the Walt Disney Company.
This week, we're joined by Adam Roth, co-founder of WDWCelebrations, to talk about Project XL: The World at 40 which will take place September 29th - October 2nd.
He'll tell us about the history of their organization and what they have in store for their biggest fan celebration yet! Plus, you can find out how to sign up for the fun!
We'll also have a Live Trip Report from Darien Lake, an update on EB's Chickens and much more!

CoasterRadio.com #539 - More Theme Park Mashups!
We had so many great submissions from the show we did a few weeks ago about "Theme Park Mashups", we had to break the show into two parts!
This week, we once again have our listeners take two of their favorite attractions and combine them to create the ULTIMATE ride.
For instance...
Imagine mashing up Disney's "Haunted Mansion" with the "Splash Battle" at Dollywood. OR...
How about trying to combine an S&S Space Shot ride with a B&M Interted Coaster like Alpengeist at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. OR...
What if someone combined Soarin' with Toy Story Mania? What would that be like?
Plus, we also have a Live Trip Report from Hersheypark and a whole lot more!

CoasterRadio.com #538 - Life in the "Fast Lane"
Some of the the line cutting systems are free and come with your admission. But others are offered for an upcharge of $40 or $50.
On this week's episode, Mike and EB talk about the new "Fast Lane" option that just debuted at Kings Island.
The guys will discuss the pros and cons of the new service and what this might mean for other parks around the country.
Will the park experience that we know today change forever?
The guys also discuss their upcoming separate trips to Knoebels and Weiner Prater in Vienna, Austria. Will Mike be brave enough to tackle the crazy Euro-rides? And, EB just recently renewed his love affair with a classic carnival attraction!
Plus, a Live Trip Report from one of the most enchanting parks in the country!

Your "Pre-Game" Rituals
Maybe it involves internet research about the park's rides, attractions and restaurants.
Maybe it involves packing certain items that we can fit into our pockets (sunglasses, sunscreen, asprin, etc) that will help us survive the hot temperatures and glaring sun.
Maybe you need to create a special playlist for your iPod that will get you in just the right mood for the hour-plus ride to the park.
Maybe you travel all over your county looking for the best discount coupons that will give you the cheapest ticket.
Whatever your "Pre-Game" ritual is, we want to hear about it for this week's show!
Tell us what preparation you do in order to guarantee your theme park day will be a success!

CoasterRadio.com #537 - This or That?
"This or That?"
Throughout the past week, the Coaster Radio audience has been sending Mike and EB e-mails filled with tantalizing choices.
The e-mails contain choices between rides, choices between attractions and choices between parks.
It will be Mike and EB's job to make a decision for every choice offered and then defend that decision.
Some listeners have even come up with really bizarre choices that spark some furious debates and unavoidable controversies!
We also have news on the "Producer for a Day" Contest and one of the most unique Live Trip Reports ever!

The World is Rocking Out to C-Pain!
Wouldn't it be great to see videos of people all over the world enjoying the magic that is C-Pain?
Hmmm...... that's not a bad idea!

This or That?
What we need you to do is to give us two choices...
Pick any two theme park related things: two parks, two attractions, two types of park food... anything!
Then, EB and I will have to choose between the two things and make an argument over why one is better than the other.
Of course, you could choose two really great things at the parks, but it might be fun to make us choose between two really awful rides!

CoasterRadio.com #536 - Theme Park Mashups!
You know, dreaming up rides and attractions that we hope and pray eventually make it to our favorite theme park.
On this week's episode, we gave our audience an unlimited budget and unlimited imagination to create an ultimate attraction by "mashing up" two existing rides.
The listeners of CoasterRadio.com are one of the most creative podcast audiences anywhere... so we have some excellent ideas this week.
We also have a Live Trip Report from Hersheypark, news on the "Producer for a Day" contest and an idea on why the "Mach Tower" drop ride at Busch Gardens Williamsburg has been delayed. Let's just say it might be the "Italian Origins" of the ride!
