Oh, cool. A Monday release for The Season Pass! I like it. I'm downloading it right now. I'm excited to hear what Brent has to say about China and how the whole operation went down.

Great episode

Bible Park USA is actually in my county, so it's about 5 minutes from my house lol. I wouldn't worry about this park too much, only because this isn't going to be a theme park. It's something like the Adventure Science Museum that's in downtown Nashville. So in a nut shell, it will be a fun and interactive way to learn more in bible themed attraction. There's a thread in the Theme Park News section with more info http://seasonpassforums.com/about94.html

While yall are in Orlando, I drive is a must!!! lol Sling Shot near Wet N Wild is a must too! lol I'm so excited for yall, hope yall have a blast.

Ripley's has a museum, haunted house, moving theater, world records attraction, and aquarium in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. I've been to the aquarium and it was fantastic and the building it's self is beautiful. I wanted to try the Ripley's Haunted House but my friends were too scared. When yall visit Dollywood, yall should go to the Ripley's attraction nearby.

Great show,

Nick, you can't give away the mirror gag at Ripley's. I got burned by it the first time, so everyone else should have a chance to regret walking up to that mirror. I have been to the Ripley's in St. Augustine, Orlando and Gattlinburg (in 1982). I have liked them all, but the one in London sounds like it would put all the others to shame. I hope I get a chance to see that one someday.

Glad to hear that Brent is back to the land of smooth, but crowded roads. It is good to hear him on the podcast.

I am looking forward to hearing how Doug and Sharron enjoy Orlando.

Doug, you should go to Bible Land or whatever it's called in Orlando. It's basically across the street from Universal.

I totally dig the Ripley's museums and have been to quite a few:

Hollywood
Key West
Myrtle Beach
Wisconsin Dells
Niagra Falls
and I am hoping to check out the relatively new one in NYC, when I am home for a week for Christmas

They are all have similarities, but are unique enough that make them all entertaining.

When you guys were talking about the 'Dream' themes for amusement parks the two that come to mind for me would be the Simpsons and Nintendo. I think both are popular enough and have the longevity required for a theme park. Also both have the wide range of characters needed to make a 'full' park and allow for future expansion.
