Tetsu & Dmillz
As it is Thanksgiving will be taking this week off. Our new season 2 will continue next week. Please keep in mind that next weeks show may be delayed a day or two as we gat back into things.
After a two week break due to the effects of Hurricane Sandy, we reflect on the Superstorm and just how much damage it caused to the Mid-Atlantic region. We also discuss the big Disney/Lucasfilm deal that took place while we were gone, and what Disney can do to combat the Transformers/Harry Potter duo that is soon to come to Universal. Knott's also made some announcements while we were gone, so we discuss that as well. Make sure to vote in the G-Force Radio Awards this week as voting ends Sunday!

| As most of you know Hurricane (now Tropical Rainstorm) Sandy made landfall around Cape May NJ around 5:50 PM EDT yesterday. The storm brought MAJOR coastal flooding to the areas around it. To the point, several theme parks on the shore and inland have been affected by this storm. The park that got hit rather hard seemed to fair well enough and that is Morey's Piers in Wildwood NJ. The park was spared major damage out side of the ocean re-filling the water park pools with sand and other derbies let alone water. I dont have any information on Steel Pier at this time but Atlantic City did receive extensive damage to its boardwalk and sea-side areas from the storm surge.In the areas around Sandy Hook NJ and Seaside Heights Casino Pier has suffered major damage including a partial collapse. This has left the park on that pier heavily damaged. Many rides have been damaged and/or submerged by sea-water. Some rides are now IN the ocean due to the collapse. See the photo here to get a scene of the damage at Casino Pier. | | | | | |

That ride in the ocean there is the Star Jet roller coaster. It is likely not salvageable. - Star Jet RCDB Page All inland parks I have looked into, Dorney Park in Allentown PA, Hershey Park in Hershey PA, Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson NJ, and Knoebels in Elysburg PA are reporting minor damage. Mainly trees down and other minor damage.I will update this as time goes on. I have no information on Coney Island but I know that New York has suffered major damage in some areas, specifically the Finical District.
Due to the impending storm closing in on the East Coast of the US, we will not be recording a show this week as power is expected to be lost all along the Eastern part of the country. We will return next week with a new show and cover any interesting topics from the last few weeks. Until then, everyone who may be impacted by the storm, please stay safe.
