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 endominious 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. Did 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
