Hello, I'm Michael Eisner.

Now, here is your host. Hi, my name is Kevin Perger, and welcome back to another episode of the Defunct Lion podcast.

0:42.4

Today we are going to be discussing everything Action Park.

0:45.0

We have no special guest star for this episode, because I thought interviewing just one employee or just one visitor wouldn't be enough.

0:51.3

So I told you all to send me your Action Park stories, and I'm going to be
