About this listen

This week on Hangin’ at the Hangar Bar, Scott grabs his metaphorical saddlebag (and his very real AI co-host, Dusty Trails Bot) for a solo deep dive into the dusty, disappearing corners of Frontierland at Walt Disney World.

We’re talkin’ Big Thunder Mountain, Country Bear Jamboree, the now-closed Tom Sawyer Island, and the retired Liberty Belle Riverboat—each with its own story, legacy, and charm. But it’s not all just frontier nostalgia—Scott also explores what’s replacing these classics, including the controversial addition of Piston Peak National Park, inspired by Planes: Fire & Rescue. Yes, really.

Expect laughs, lore, a little light grumbling about IP choices, and a heartfelt look at how storytelling is changing inside the most iconic theme park in the world.

If you’re a fan of goats with dynamite, bears who sing showtunes, or just wondering what happens when you give aviator goggles to a national park… this is the episode for you.
