0:00.0	Welcome to For Your Amusement, a theme park podcast that aims to exhaustively evaluate the world's most popular theme park attractions to determine if they are world class.
0:15.8	I'm Ryan Bergara.
0:17.1	I'm Byron Marin.
0:18.2	And for this episode's featured attraction, we braved the depths of hell itself to discuss Mr. Toad's Wild Ride in Disneyland, California.
0:27.4	And joining us today in Internal Damnation is none other than Poseidon Entertainment.
0:32.7	Thank you for coming on to the pod.
0:34.3	Yeah, yeah, very happy to do so.
0:35.8	Very happy to talk about Mr. Toad.
0:37.4	I just realized we're talking about a ride in which you go to hell and I'm looking at a skeleton. I can't think of a better version of hell represented pictorily than you being trapped in a podcast, Tiki bar with Byron and I forever. So when we have guests on this show, we ask them what ride they would like to cover and you chose Mr. Toad. So just get into a little bit of why you chose Mr. Toads. So I appreciate the kind of weirder side of attractions and I think that Mr. Toad definitely qualifies in that aspect. I do like how you do go to hell at the very end. It's a weird ending for a ride.

1:21.5	dark ride fan. I really do look forward to getting on Mr. Toad or any of the Fantasyland
1:26.3	dark rides. There's something that kind of reminds me of why the park was started in the first place.

1:35.5	And this feels like you could see that lineage pretty clearly.
1:39.3	You get on Rise of the Resistance, you're kind of like, well, how was this ever started as like
1:43.7	a better Coney Island? Whereas you get on this, you could feel, like, well, how was this ever started as like a better
1:44.3	Coney Island? Whereas you get on this, you could feel, oh, this is a more elevated version of
1:49.1	that. I like the style of all the paper cutouts in this ride, too. But we'll get into more of that
1:53.3	later. For now, let's jump into some history, Byron.
1:57.3	1908, a children's novel entitled The Wind in the Willows by English novelist Kenneth
