That story about Shane cracks me up because I can just PICTURE him riding that on his own. Tall man, politely bobbing his head along to the music as he’s surrounded by families 😂
So happy Ryan has a place now to unload his theme park love. I’ve missed him talking about them since The Saddest Podcast on Earth
It was really nice to hear him talk about theme parks on the saddest podcast on earth! I’m glad he has another outlet/podcast to talk about it!!
Ryan’s inner monologue coming out and asking “What if Mickey Mouse was a real dude?” is a pretty brave take. Glad they left that in there
Then he says, "Can you imagine? A talking mouse?" And thus he invents Stuart Little, lol.
The ride is based on a cartoon series with a very specific sense of humor, Goofys eyes, Minnie locking Pluto in the trunk, etc is all just true to the cartoon. It's unhinged and hilarious, it's one of the reasons I love this ride. You have to watch the cartoon
Yeah, not a lot of people have seen this version of Mickey but me and my brother grew up watching it (it’s already been around for over 10 years) but they perfectly translated the humor perfectly into ride format.
As a Walt Disney World cast member I’m so thrilled by this podcast and that you’re covering us as well as Disneyland
As a current D*sney cast member that’s obsessed with theme parks, I want to be a guest on this podcast SO BAD. Let me tell you about ride/loading mechanics PLEASEEEEEEEE
as a listener would definitely love to hear that
Invite this CM on the show 😍 I’d love to hear about the mechanics of the rides
Ohhh this actually sounds so interesting please yes
Why did you censor the D word lol?
@@jaykay1899 didn’t want to get in trouble with the mouse lol
One of my favorite parts of the queue is that minnie helped the historical society of toontown accumulate these historical movie items from the movies mickey has done. Its so sweet.
Aww, cute! It always felt like going through Mickey's house felt like a queue, so I'm glad there's finally a ride!
Disney tried to make a Mickey ride for EPCOT in the 80's but the project got scrapped. The theater you walk into for the queue (where you walk into the screen) and the factory scene we have now was originally a part of it. So excited for what's to come of this podcast!
One special Easter egg to me is right before entering daisy’s dance studio there’s a newspaper stand that says “OSWALD WINS!” Which is in reference to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Walt’s first major cartoon character before Mickey Mouse 8)
Podcast on Monday and Tuesday, Food files on Wednesday, watcher weekly + Thursday on Patreon AND ghost files on Fridays? Watcher viewers are eating good this month
This ride made me burst into tears at the end because of how cool it was and truely made me feel like a kid again.
I love this podcast much more than I thought I would. The one suggestion is the key to having a hidden Micky is to make Micky actually hidden and not have it right in the middle of the table.
This is the best thing I could hope to stumble upon tonight. Bravo Bergara
It’s so fascinating to see a Theme Park Themed Podcast! Such fun!
Oh I have been longing for Ryan to have a place to talk waaaay too much about Disney. Grabbing popcorn!
This will be such a gem in the Watcher line up! For halloween/ October (may be too late now) - to do some reviews of Halloween theme parks or ones that convert for the holiday!
Stay tuned for this Halloween…
@@watcherpodcasts Oh boy! *chefs kiss* Also shout out to whoever is working at 9:30 PM on a Tuesday, sleep easy, King.
The last time I was at an amusement park was dorney park pennsylvania 2005 we don’t have them here in Ireland so I’m living through this podcast 🙌
As a Disney Park nerd and A Watcher nerd, this is the BEST! Im really impressed and I didn't know a lot go the things y'all talked about!!!
Oh I love this so much !!!
I do wish you did a tiny like talk through or description of the ride before we dive into the specifics, as a lil Australian who loves theme parks but has never been overseas so has no idea what the ride is, but oh my goodness this is great!!!
As someone who has never stepped foot in a theme park, I've quickly become hooked on this pod for the enthusiasm, insight, and structured analysis around themed experiences. Finally made my way to the first episode and you guys were really on it from the start. Also, I was genuinely taken aback at how beautiful and detailed this ride is, and how effective the combination of effects in making quite a synthetic animation style feel interactive and lively and immersive. Feels super creative and oddly organic in a way I don't usually feel when watching ridethroughs.
Love seeing you in your happy place talking about theme parks. Can we get a Shane episode about a lazy river? Or his favorite lazy river?
This ride is really reminiscent of the OG Disney Magic. Ofc technology has evolved, but still it’s that same passion. It’s such a delightful ride ❤
At midnight I was really tired and wanted to watch this to fall asleep but realized it wouldn’t be out until 2am my time. Then I “accidentally” stayed up until 2am
The disneyland version replaces the great movie ride poster with a poster of five and dime which is the store that used to be where the ride is
Just went to WDW a few weeks ago and out of all the rides we went on across all four parks, including Rise of the Resistance and Millennium Falcon (we were even in the pilot seats on that one!), THIS is the ride that's still living rent-free in my brain. It was so much fun and every time I think about it, it makes me genuinely happy.
As someones who lives into the UK and has never been to disneyland/world, I watched the POV of the ride and its so immersive. I love it. I hope to go to Disneyland some day😩 also the ballet scene was my fave too
I'm from the UK and I now live in California. The first (and only) time I went to Disneyland was incredible. The effort they put into these experiences is beyond anything I've experienced at any theme park in the UK! I hope you get to visit someday, it's definitely worth your time 😊
I was a cast member at Mickey and Minnie’s runaway railway and to see this made my heart happy!! You said some facts that I didn’t even know!! Fun fact there is also a crab in every scene!
I had such exceptionally low expectations for this ride when I went and I thought my friend was being a super fan when she insisted we go on it. I was absolutely blown out of the water. I think this is on my list of no skips for Disneyland now for the queue alone. It rivals the little secrets in what used to be the lobby of Tower of Terror (CA). It's SO good, I'm so glad to see the love for it.
Super solid episode, but for those of us who aren't theme park experts I'd love a little more explanation about what certain rides are or different concepts - feels a bit like I'm coming in halfway through an interesting conversation and having to play catch up.
would've been good to get a brief overview of what this ride even is - I feel like I'm missing a huge amount of context but I am enjoying the commentary regardless!
We went yesterday, and I was excited to check the ride out. The line wasn't very long because we went during the parade, but when we finally got on, it broke down and we waited forever listening to a boy have a melt down about this being unfair and that this is not ok. They finally unlocked us from the carts and we had to walk in a line back to the loading area and out the exit. So hopefully next time we go we will be able to actually experience it the way it's ment to be lol
In my 29 years, I’ve never been and never really wanted to go to Disneyland. This podcast made me want to visit it so bad!
This whole episode brought me right back to being on the ride, it just made me so excited the entire time thinking back to that
I ADORE Runaway Railway, especially and including the song that gets stuck in my head for the entire trip
16:38 this is what i felt about for Peter Pan. I had this late stage love of rollercoasters and especially thrill rides, so when i was kid dark rides were all the awesome ones, but as i grew up and no longer fear thrill rides i kinda find the dark rides to be lame. From the little mermaid to the toad one, i just don’t really care for and get even a little annoyed by them for how they seemingly waste my time, i don’t feel immersed and i just get the feeling of magic better in watching the movies or short films. So Peter Pan was something i was not looking forward to, but i have a baby sister and a niece. So when we get on this one, oh my god. THIS IS DISNEY. like suddenly the magic of watching Peter Pan in vhs becomes reality. I was amazed how this ride just lets you feel like a kid. Truly one of my favorite rides of all time, among with the best thrill rides of Disney.
I love whenever Ryan goes into Theme Park mode! One of us! One of us!
i've never been to any of these theme parks since i live on the opposite side of the world, but if defunctland and now this podcast has taught me anything, i LOVE listening to people talk about them
heck yes let's go babyyyyy!!!!
Everyone collectively got off, is a scary start to a sentence about bachelor party at an amusement park 😂
Honestly I am in need of a new Theme Park Podcast, and hearing Ryan having a love for Theme Parks is amazing.
I'll be honest, i got on this ride at WDW last year and I wasn't that impressed with it, but listening to these guys talk about all of their favorite parts and how much they loved the DL version is making me realize that I probably didn't enjoy it that much because I was just missing the Movie Ride. I still don't think Runaway Railway is a 'worthy replacement' of The Great Movie Ride, but I'm realizing that if I think of it that way, I'll never appreciate what's great about this ride as much as I should. Hopefully I can get on it again sometime soon and look at it with fresh eyes.
Two of the best in the game! Great inaugural show!
why was this released in the dead of night lmaoooo
There was actually a Mickey Mouse show at WDW at opening. It was called Mickey Mouse Revue and was located where Philharmagic is now. It featured lots of animatronics of characters from disney movies singing their songs conducted by Mickey. It closed in 1980 and was moved to Tokyo Disneyland for a while before closing permanently in 2009. The Three Caballeros animatronics in their ride at Epcot are from this show!
I always call Goofy in this ride “Jaundice Goofy”
bro literally has jaundice you can’t convince me otherwise
We needed this podcast. Thank you so much
As someone who stills listens to The Saddest Podcast on Earth, I'm glad to see Byron and Ryan talking about talking about Disney again.
look as somebody who was a big fan of the Annual Pass podcast, I am so excited for this, not even a theme park person to any major extent, just great content with my adhd for while I work
i think a great ride to discuss would be flight of passage, simply because - for me anyways - it's a great ride with re-rideability. however, listening to your world class test, i think it actually may not pass, and i would just love to hear you two talk about it and what you did/didn't like about it.
WE'D BETTER BE GETTING A "FOR YOUR AMUSEMENT" AND "PODCAST: THE RIDE" CROSSOVER 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Love that you folks are getting into theme parks! One thing you may also want to consider when talking about wait times are that they're partially dependant on the capacity of the ride.
For example, if 3000 people wanted to ride Pirates of the Carribean, that line would be about 50 minutes since Pirates has a capacity of ~3400/hour. In comparison, the same amount of people who want to ride Peter Pan will need to wait 3.75 hours since Pans capacity is ~800/hour
(20:03) First car of a train is called a locomotive -- this is why Goofy (my favorite character) says it has Loky-motive.
I'm such a disney fan and I love this podcast! I was just constantly relistening to the Saddest Podcast in the world over and over lol. Glad to have more content
Still a great listen 6 months later
Never had a Mickey Mouse ride?! The disrespect to the silly symphony swings 😂
I am not a Disney Adult, I don't care much for theme parks, though as a life long resident of Florida I have need to Disney World many times. I find ypur enthusiasm for theme parks/Disney endearing. Just watching the pod to support the Watcher Entertainment brand.
I just wanted to say that as a parent with a three year old, she is much a fan of Mickey. I wouldn't worry about him staying an icon to younger generations. With Disney+ they will be able to enjoy Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Mickey's Mixed Up Adventures, Mickey and the Roadster Racers, and any other available Mickey-centric content for many generations to come.
Wonderful first episode! I've never been to any big amusement parks, so it's pretty cool to hear about rides in detail
It’s funny it took so long for Mickey to get a proper ride when Walt’s original plan was to make a Mickey Mouse park in Burbank right next to the studio.
Also yeah people were all about the Chuuby bird when the attraction first opened. I was working on Critter Country stores at the time and people kept coming there for once Toon Town got low on the little magnet shoulder Chuuby
We are so back, mousebros!
This is possibly the greatest podcast but first....let's have a word from our sponsor.
This ride is charming af
This ride just hit all the marks for me. It leaves me with a big smile everytime. When I rode it for the first time, it was right when the park opened so we go to start with that tune in my head all day. I couldn’t stop thinking about the ride all day so we ended up making it our last ride at midnight. Its perfect for starting and ending your day.
Cannot WAIT for more episodes like this
RYAN as a theme park lover, thank you for doing this! I’ve been wanting to see your theme park adventures since all the many times you mentioned loving Disneyland and theme parks in general
I’m happy for whoever loves this one, but I just can’t get back losing the great movie ride to it. I was at HS last week and the people behind me in line were confused as to why the interior building was a Chinese theatre, and when I quickly explained the landmark as one existing in Hollywood for nearly a century, I got blank touristy stares, and it only soured my opinion of this new ride even more 😅
OK so Pluto isn’t thrown in Minnie accidentally knocks him in there. The B plot is Pluto trying to get the picnic basket to them for the picnic
As a lowkey disney(land) adult I’m obsessed with this. Would love more pictures of what rides you’re talking about (if possible!!)
I loved the ride and was perfect for our entire family including my toddler. It was the only one we did multiple time. I can see shoving Pluto in the trunk not aging well and being changed.
Love this podcast! I went to kings dominion about 100 times growing up so it’d be awesome to hear y’all talk about the intimidator
31:54 i’m fairly certain this is meant to read as “minnie isn’t paying attention while packing up the car and pluto gets in the way so she accidentally shoves him in there too” sort of cartoon hijinks lmao 😂 either way, poor guy
I haven’t gone on a theme park ride in years (definitely not for lack of wanting) but I love how engaging and passionate these discussions are! It makes me appreciate just how much work goes into the rides and how many elements are involved!
These are 2 worlds I never thought would collide, and I'm so glad it did.
LMAOO I LOVE THIS
My husband and I went to Disney World and he’s not a huge park goer either and thought a Mickey ride also seemed kiddie and dumb but he enjoyed that ride so much that he requested we go on it again another one or two more times in the day we were in Hollywood studios because he loved it so much!😂
I Got on this ride with my family, on our first ever family vacation to Walt Disney world. Best and most wonderful experience ever.
YAYYY RYAN TALKING ABOUT AMUSEMENT PARKS FINALLYYYY
Was so excited for this ride. Based on the new animations that came out in the late 2010s. My daughter and I loved watching them together and so to get to ride it together was amazing! Love this ride!
Byron Marin sounding like Chris Pine and he blinks like a millions times
With this and the Watcher Boys Pod, I’m automatically subscribing to this channel!! Love you guys!!
The outro music is so nostalgic ❤
I missed saddest pod so much I’m so excited its legacy lives on
2:04 RIP Great Movie Ride
Hope to see you at WDW this month!
My first time on this ride was on my niece’s 2nd birthday and Mickey, Minnie and the whole group are her favorite characters!! She had so much fun and so did the rest of us. It’s such a cool, new take on a ride!!
My family took a Disneyland trip this past summer when my daughter was 6 months old. For me another one of the good for this ride is there is no height requirement so the whole family can enjoy it. During the whole queue my mom was asking me if it was a ride or just a show. So much to love about the attraction and a good core memory for sure!
I love this so much you don’t understand. You guys, plus my fave Disney content creators… two of my favorite worlds collide - I’m deceased.
Ommggg I was searching for something to listen to while trying to fall asleep this is perfecttt
Not me learning about Back to the Future ride being replaced via The Simpsons Test 😭 for shame Universal Studios, for shame! (Love the pod)
Why are y'all dropping these at 2 am 😭 I'm so confused
Ryan being a Goofy stan... Always knew he had great taste
Having been a life long theme park lover, I was throughly impressed and excited by Ryan’s knowledge. I can’t wait to see the rest of this ❤
My only gripes about the ride is eventually its gonna wear down (Its not even that old and its starting to show age) and the character designs are eventually gonna be dated once they change again.
I've discovered your series through your ep guest starring Jenny Nicholson. I just watched your defunctland episode, and I found both very entertaining.
I've decided to watch your series from the beginning. 😊
I agree, I did not have high hopes for this ride but it was so much more than I ever thought it would be!
I need to check this ride out
Hidden Mickey on the table there
(Canon camera cover and white ears)
I'm happy that Ryan has a spot where he can talk about his interests!!
I was waiting for them to mention Pluto lmao the first time i rode this o was just thinking about how they literally kick the poor dog into the trunk😂
2:04 Am, my Smile grinch face is on🥴
Also! Not a parent, but everyone can ride this ride, my 5yo cousin literally talked about it for weeks that he rode a “roller coaster” with Mickey 😂
I'm glad this is finally here. I worked at Kings Island in Cincinnati years ago and none of my friends are as interested in theme parks and their rides. I've been sustained by Defunctland for years.
great first episode! i just rode runaway railway last week too and felt all the excitement that you guys captured in this pod :D can't wait for more!
