Change always happens at theme parks. The only change that seems to really bother people are the changes that are done in order to be more politically correct. Currently in the world we live in, being politically correct seems to be more and more important and it has started to permeate into the theme park world. With changes coming to Pirates of the Caribbean, the conversation has grown louder and louder. On this show, we brought on Doug Barnes from The Season Pass Podcast to talk about the PC culture in theme parks. We talk not only about Disneyland, but Knott’s Berry Farm, Halloween Horror Nights and Haunts! It should be a polarizing yet interesting episode! Along with this comes a heaping helping of theme park news in the Theme Park Bulletin! We talk Hangtime at Knott’s Berry Farm, Steel Vengeance at Cedar Point, RailBlazer at California’s Great America, Time Traveler at Silver Dollar City and Twisted Timbers at King’s Dominion. We also chat Haunting Headlines with haunt news! Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Leatherface and Chucky all come to Halloween Horror Nights Hollywood for Titans of Terror maze and Terror Tram! Saw also makes it’s return with Saw The Games of Jigsaw, Trick r Treat makes it debut at Halloween Horror Nights Orlando, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Halloween Adventure makes plans for it Farewell Tour as well as returning attractions to Knott’s Scary Farm! It is a jumbo sized episode so we hope you all enjoy!
