Welcome to For Your Amusement, hosted by me, Ryan Bergara, and fellow sicko, Byron Marin.

This is a theme park podcast that aims to exhaustively evaluate the world's most popular theme park attractions

to determine if they are world class. But along the way, we'll learn some history.

It all started with a mouse. 1928, Steamboat Willie.

Here's some fun facts.

It's a water ride in Beijing, right?

No.

No?

It's not a water ride.

Oh, damn! I didn't even know that!

And discuss the things we love?

That big-ass, Indominus Rex animatronic is marvelous.

I mean, it walks first off. I don't know how they do that. It must be on some sort of track that makes it look like it's walking. But the sound design of the footsteps as it's walking towards you.

Absolutely terrifying. And the things we hate. Last big bad here. I think about it every time I go on this ride I don't

know if you do too Pluto in the trunk of the car what's going on with that wait

they had Pluto locked in that trunk the whole time there's no air in that he sneak in

there accidentally no they just throw him in there they throw him in the trunk like

they're taking him to a secondary location to whack him. But really, we just love going on rides.

And if you love rides, too,

I think you'll have a good time listening to For Your Amusement

every Tuesday, wherever you get your podcasts.
