  • Folks Here's a Story 'Bout Minnie the Watcher - Fleischer Land
    Sep 4 2024

    Send us a text

    If you take a left turn around 1929, you end up here: where the jazz band triumphed over the orchestra, where sexy usurped formal, where a very different theme park empire began, and died.
    Welcome to Fleischer Land. Keep an eye out for hidden Bettys!

  • They Died with their Boots On - The History and Future of the Disney Shooting Galleries
    Aug 19 2024

    Send us a text

    When we pick up a fake gun and shoot it at a fantastical electric target, what are we trying to become? What do we think Frontierland is? Who is Paul MacGlashan and how did the guy that designed Disney's shooting galleries help win WWII?
    And, most importantly, How did Kelly and Pete find themselves so mired in the kind of Disney current affair news that they usually avoid like the plague?

    It's the history of SHOOTIN' STUFF at Disney Theme parks!

    (Also, a link to that Frontierland article we keep talking about, https://boardwalktimes.net/we-need-to-talk-about-frontierland-ad54b31a1fe1 .)

  • The Ballad of Bumping Biff - Back to the Future: The Ride
    Jul 28 2024

    Send us a text

    Fire up your Flux Capacitors, people, because we're heading back, back, back in time!
    We're traveling to the early-20th Century to visit some houses that ought not spin the way they do, the '60s to visit that same Not-Really-A-World's-Fair that we keep yammering on about and, of course, the '80s - where Huey Lewis lives.

    It's the ride that saved Universal Theme Parks, Back to the Future!
