Mike and EB kickoff of the summer theme park season by hearing a warning about the implications of the Six Flags and Cedar Fair merger...from a former CEO. The guys talk about new attractions like Siren's Curse and the unique zombie event at Hello Kitty Park in Japan. The episode wraps up with a discussion on the grand opening of Epic Universe and the challenges faced during its preview phase. The conversation shifts to listener interactions through the mailbag and trip reports from various parks, highlighting the excitement for the start of the 2025 season.

Mike is at Busch Gardens Williamsburg this week for the opening of "The Big Bad Wolf: The Wolf's Revenge." He'll review the ride and talk with the Corporate Director of Rides & Engineering for United Parks and Resorts. He'll talk about this new roller coaster from B&M that pays tribute to the original "Big Bad Wolf" story and coaster from the 1980s. Mike and EB also talk about the latest news and rumors from around the industry.

We are joined by Seth Kubersky, the author of "The Unnofficial Guide to Universal Orlando 2025" to talk about EPIC UNIVERSE. Seth has been to the park multiple times and has experienced every attraction. He'll take us on a virtual tour of the park and give us the pros and cons of each land and ride. We'll also have the latest news from around the industry, including talk about the closing of Six Flags America.
