Welcome to the Theme Park Trader podcast. Your weekly dose of theme park news from around the world!

Our big Orlando trip is almost here, so this week on Theme Park Trader we’re joined by two very special guests — Ryan’s sister Charlotte and his nephew!

With the countdown well and truly on, we chat through the plans for the trip, what everyone is most excited about, the parks and attractions at the top of the list, and all the inevitable chaos that comes with taking a big family holiday to Orlando.

Expect plenty of Disney and Universal talk, questionable planning decisions, family disagreements and a few predictions about what’s actually going to happen once we get there.

The holiday is nearly here. What could possibly go wrong?

We've done something a little different this week — we've put every ride, show, restaurant and bar at Disney's Hollywood Studios under the microscope and ranked the lot from best to worst.

But we didn't just take Google's star ratings at face value. A place with a handful of reviews can look like it's beating somewhere with thousands, so we ran every score through the same kind of formula IMDb uses for its Top 250 — pulling the small-sample scores back until they've earned their place. What's left is a ranking of what's actually rated highly, not just what got lucky.

Along the way, we:

Crown the highest-rated attraction in the park (and debate whether it deserves it)
Expose the snack spot whose glowing rating completely falls apart under scrutiny
Work out whether one of the most hyped, hardest-to-book spots in the park is quietly one of its worst
Argue about the ride that genuinely underwhelms — and the one nostalgia won't let us criticise
Sort out what's worth your time and money on your next trip, and what to skip

If you've ever wondered what's genuinely worth doing at Hollywood Studios — and what's coasting on hype — this is the episode for you.

This week, we’re going behind the screams as we speak directly to Universal about Halloween Horror Nights 35.

In this exclusive interview, we dig into what guests can expect from this year’s event, how Universal approaches bringing HHN to life and what makes the 35th anniversary such a major moment for Halloween Horror Nights. We also uncover a few exclusive details about HHN35 that you won’t want to miss.

Whether you’re counting down the days until the fog returns, planning your first-ever visit or simply obsessed with everything Halloween Horror Nights, this is an episode packed with insights straight from Universal themselves.

What are you most excited to experience at HHN35? Let us know in the comments!

Guests DESTROY Beak and Barrel & BaseLine Tap House in this week's episode of Theme Park Trader!

But first — is table service dining dying at Walt Disney World? With guests now dropping serious money on Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Premier Pass before they even step through the gates, more and more visitors are skipping sit-down restaurants altogether. So is Disney's answer to grab those lost guest dollars... bars and lounges? We dig into why spots like The Beak and Barrel and BaseLine Tap House might be exactly where Disney wants you spending instead — lower commitment than a two-hour ADR, no huge kitchen overhead, and premium-priced drinks with a themed backdrop.

Then it's time for the main event: we read the most BRUTAL guest reviews of Magic Kingdom's pirate lounge The Beak and Barrel and Hollywood Studios' BaseLine Tap House. From "a tavern full of disappointment" to complaints about pricing, portions, queues and theming that didn't live up to the hype — nobody is safe.

Do you agree with the reviews? Have you visited either lounge? Let us know in the comments!

How much does it REALLY cost to build a Disney World ride? In this episode of Theme Park Trader, we rank the 10 most expensive attractions ever built at Walt Disney World — and then adjust every budget for inflation, which completely reshuffles the list. A ride from 1999 might still be the most expensive Disney has ever built.

We cover the $500 million price tag on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, why Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance's building permits said $78 million when the real number was closer to $450 million, the legendary "Disco Yeti" — one of the most expensive animatronics ever built, broken since 2006 — and how Tiana's Bayou Adventure cost $142 million for what's technically a retheme.

Every theme park fan has a list of petty pet peeves, and today we're airing all of ours. We count down the worst theme park icks — ranked by rage — from slow walkers and parade curb-savers to ring-light vloggers and Disney adults who can't take a single critique. Building all the way to the number one offender, everyone secretly hates. We even confess the ones we're guilty of. No one's safe, including us.

Join us for episode 492 of the Theme Park Trader Podcast!

In this episode of Theme Park Trader, we’re talking through our upcoming Orlando plans, from where we’re staying and what parks we’re hoping to hit, to the food, attractions, and chaos we’re already overthinking.

We also get into the latest Disney transport restrictions at Walt Disney World, what they could mean for guests, and whether Disney is slowly making it harder to enjoy the resort without extra planning, extra spend, or a spreadsheet worthy of NASA.

Expect Orlando excitement, Disney transport moaning, a bit of trip-planning panic, and the usual Theme Park Trader nonsense.

This week, we’re heading over to Universal as we share some of our favourite memories from the parks.

From recording Theme Park Trader at Halloween Horror Nights , to seeing Hogwarts for the first time, staying at Hard Rock Hotel, stepping into Seuss Landing, and revisiting classics like Jaws, Spider-Man and The Hulk, this episode is packed with nostalgia.

We also chat about the excitement of hearing Universal could be coming to the UK, the build-up to Epic Universe, and the Universal moments that have stuck with us the most over the years.

Join us for episode 490 of the Theme Park Trader Podcast!

This week we’re getting properly nostalgic as we share some of our favourite memories from the Disney parks.

From unforgettable attraction moments and family trips to unexpected laughs, emotional memories, and the kind of chaos only a Disney day can deliver, we’re looking back at the experiences that have stuck with us the most over the years.

Expect plenty of Disney Parks nostalgia, a few ridiculous stories, and probably far too much sentimentality as we celebrate the moments that made us fall in love with the parks in the first place.

Join us for episode 489 of the Theme Park Trader Podcast!

We’re officially off the rails. What started as a constructive conversation about the new Muppet-themed Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster quickly devolved into a complete, unscripted mess.

In this episode of Theme Park Trader, we attempt to map out the perfect "Muppet Land" and brainstorm which classic attractions deserve the Muppet treatment. However, things take a turn for the chaotic when we dive into the rumor mill regarding Bluey coming to Rafiki’s Planet Watch—a topic that nearly ended the friendship (and the podcast).

If you want to hear us argue about intellectual property placement, propose an absurdly high-maintenance Muppet buffet, and admit that we might actually be the Muppets ourselves, this is the episode for you.

Grab your winter coats and your park bags! This week on Theme Park Trader, we are joined by our fantastic friend Carly, who just stepped straight into Arendelle.

Carly gives us the ultimate, unfiltered breakdown of her recent trip to the newly rebranded Disney Adventure World and its highly anticipated crown jewel: The World of Frozen. If you’ve been wondering how the park’s massive transformation is actually turning out, this is the episode for you.

In this episode, we talk about:

First Impressions: Carly’s thoughts on the park's glow-up and the new atmosphere.
Step Into Arendelle: A deep dive into the World of Frozen—from the stunning lake views to the immersion level.
The Rides & Attractions: Does the lineup deliver, or does it leave us out in the cold?
Eats & Treats: The best themed snacks worth melting for (and the ones you can skip).
The Ultimate Verdict: Is Disney Adventure World officially a must-visit destination now?

Whether you're planning a trip or just want to live vicariously through Carly's vacation, pour yourself a warm drink and join the conversation!

Is Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party still worth the $119-$229 price tag? Or has Disney’s premier spooky event become a "copy-paste" experience that’s coasting on nostalgia?

In this episode of Theme Park Trader, we’re getting brutally honest about the state of MNSSHP. With Tom Sawyer Island gone and the massive Villains Land construction taking over the Rivers of America, the 2026 season is the perfect time for a total reboot.

Join us for episode 487 of the Theme Park Trader Podcast!

We’re breaking down our "MNSSHP Masterplan" to make the party a must-visit again, including:

The Drone Revolution: Why the 2026 sky needs more than just fireworks.
Tiana’s "Shadow Man" Takeover: Giving the Bayou its first spooky overlay.
Interactive Treat Trails: Moving beyond the "candy dump" and learning from Oogie Boogie Bash.
The Roving Sinister Seven: Why we need "happenings" instead of 3-hour character lines.

Is Disney being lazy, or are they just waiting for Villains Land to open? We want to hear from YOU—what is the ONE change that would make you buy a ticket tomorrow?

Disney World is a playground, not your private film set.

Today we’re tackling the "Main Character Syndrome" currently infecting our favorite theme parks. We’ve all been there: You’ve spent thousands on a family vacation, only to have your child’s core memories interrupted by a ring light, a gimbal, and a 30-year-old man screaming at his "chat" during the fireworks.

In this episode, we’re calling out the Influencer Plague. We break down the "Deadly Sins" of vlogging—from using flashes on dark rides to blocking Main Street for "outfit transitions." We also pitch a radical new "Creator Policy" to give the parks back to the people they were actually built for: The kids.

Also in this episode: We take a quick, sarcastic look at the bizarre grand opening of PAW Patrol Land at Chessington, where adult "furries" seem to be competing with toddlers for the shortest queues in the park.

"Jambo, everyone! Today on Theme Park Trader, we are going off-road into the 110-acre savanna of Disney’s Animal Kingdom to uncover the secrets of Kilimanjaro Safaris.

Most guests see a peaceful photo safari, but the history of this attraction is wilder than the animals themselves. We’re talking about the original "dark" storyline involving poachers and a bloody elephant carcass, the "invisible" engineering that keeps the lions from eating the zebras, and the high-tech tricks—like air-conditioned rocks—that make the magic happen.

In this episode, we dive into:

The Big Red Mystery: Why Disney completely changed the ride’s plot in 2012.
The Impossible Road: Why the "mud" you’re driving on is actually a feat of civil engineering.
Animal Secrets: How keepers use "dinner bells" and climate-controlled habitats to keep the savanna active.
The Simba Fleet: The $150,000 price tag of your safari truck and the grueling training of the drivers.
2026 Updates: What the construction of Tropical Americas means for your view of the Harambe Reserve.
Poor Reviews: We read out some of the worst reviews that people have left for the attraction

Whether you're a casual fan or a hardcore Imagineering nerd, this is the definitive guide to the "crown jewel" of Animal Kingdom.

Grab your gear, 'Simba One' is ready for departure!

Disney’s Hollywood Studios is having a massive identity crisis. Is it a tribute to the Golden Age of Cinema, or just a parking lot for Star Wars and Toy Story?

Disney’s Hollywood Studios is in the middle of a massive identity crisis. Is it a park about the magic of movies, or has it just become a storage locker for big franchises?

On this episode of the Theme Park Trailer Podcast, Ryan and Donna are making the "Keep It or Kill It" calls for 2026. With Monstropolis construction moving fast and the Muppets taking over Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, the duo spars over what needs to stay and what needs to be ripped out to save the park.

In this episode:

The Identity Battle: Is Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway a worthy icon, or are we still grieving The Great Movie Ride?
Galaxy’s Edge Wars: Should Disney finally kill the strict Sequel Trilogy timeline and let Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker walk around Batuu?
Star Tours vs. Galaxy's Edge: Does the "Greatest Hits" version of Star Wars belong in a different land, or is it the best ride in the park?
The Sunset Boulevard Debate: Does Beauty and the Beast - Live on Stage still have that Broadway magic, or is it time for an Encanto or Wish takeover?
Toy Story Land Problems: We love the "backyard" scale, but is it time to "Kill" the immersion to add much-needed shade and "human-sized" bathrooms?
BaseLine TapHouse: Can the park's best "chill spot" survive the expansion of Grand Avenue?

STAY TUNED: This is just the beginning. We’re debating so much that we’re splitting this into a Part Two, where we dive into the Tower of Terror, Indiana Jones, and the future of Animation Courtyard!

Is Disney’s 2027 Free Dining offer really as good as it sounds… or is it just clever marketing?

In this episode of the Theme Park Trader Podcast, we break down everything you need to know about the latest Walt Disney World Free Dining deal for 2027 — including who it benefits, who it doesn’t, and whether it’s actually worth booking.

Before that, we catch up on the latest news from Universal Parks, including updates and developments you won’t want to miss if you’re planning a future trip.

And to round things off, we dive back into our popular Keep It or Kill It game — this time focusing on EPCOT attractions, experiences, and everything in between.

🎢 Topics in this episode:

Disney World 2027 Free Dining explained
Is Free Dining actually good value?

Are you even doing Magic Kingdom right… or are you just eating overpriced rubbish?

In this episode of Theme Park Trader, we’re putting Walt Disney World’s most iconic park snacks to the ultimate test in our very own Magic Kingdom Snack Games.

From the legendary Dole Whip to the controversial Mickey Pretzel, we’ve taken some of the most popular (and most overrated) snacks across the park and scored them across five categories: taste, value for money, uniqueness, convenience, and that all-important Disney magic factor.

Along the way, we:

Crown the best snack in Magic Kingdom (and it might surprise you)
Expose the snacks that are all hype and no substance
Debate whether nostalgia is clouding your judgement (yes, we’re looking at you 👀)
And decide what’s actually worth your money on your next trip

If you’ve ever wondered what to eat, what to skip, and what’s just not worth it — this is the episode for you.

On this episode of Theme Park Trader, we’re diving into our full January 2026 trip report from Disneyland Paris — and yes, it was cold… but was it worth it?

We break down crowd levels, ride availability, seasonal vibes, entertainment, and whether winter is actually a secret sweet spot for visiting. From near walk-ons to bundled-up park strategy (layer game strong), we cover what worked, what didn’t, and what genuinely surprised us.

And speaking of surprises… we need to talk about the food. Because somehow — against all historical odds — it wasn’t terrible. In fact, there were moments where it was… good? We unpack what’s changed, where we ate, and whether Disneyland Paris might finally be sorting itself out on the culinary front.

Low crowds, honest takes, and at least one unexpected win — this one’s a fun one.

This week on Theme Park Trader, we’re doing something a little different — and possibly insane. We kick things off with not one, but two games: first, we try to guess the top five most purchased items in Walt Disney World, and then we move on to naming the largest theme parks in Florida (with varying degrees of confidence).

After that warm-up, we dive straight into one of the most unintentionally hilarious corners of theme park fandom: the positive reviews of Fast & Furious: Supercharged. That’s right — we’ve dug through the internet to find the people who genuinely love one of the most notoriously bad attractions in Orlando.

Buckle up, because things are about to get Supercharged… with misplaced enthusiasm.

We’ll cover:

🍳 The tragedy of ‘Ohana’s breakfast comeback
🐉 Why Nine Dragons has lost its flavour
🏰 The disappointment of dining inside the Beast’s castle
🚗 Sci-Fi Dine-In’s cool vibe but cold fries
🍔 The Plaza’s small-town charm that’s maybe a bit too small-town

It's been a while but we are back with one of the more popular parts of our show, poor reviews! Now Butlins is not something we have done in the past and there is good reason for that, perhaps being known as one of the worst entertainment locations in the UK (at least in the case of Bognor).

See how we get on with reading some of the reviews.

It's our second episode that we recorded live from Halloween Horror Nights and in this episode we run through both Dead Exposure and Trick 'r Treat houses. Remember we are live from inside the houses so this episode is pretty loud and features real fear!

Both of these houses feature very different reactions from us with Dead Exposure perhaps being our least favourite (due to the fear) and Trick 'r Treat being one of our favourites!
