00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,400
Hello, you're listening to Reedy Geeks,

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,200
a Walt Disney World podcast.

3
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:05,960
My name is Andrew and I'm joined today

4
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,400
by the grilled corn critic JJ.

5
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,240
I feel pretty okay about that.

6
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:11,520
Corn matters.

7
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,320
I'm missing context there, but maybe that's fine.

8
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,840
And plaid vest skeptic Sean.

9
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:18,320
Yeah, don't waste your money.

10
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:19,880
If you have good title for my co-host

11
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,280
after listening to this episode,

12
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,320
please send in your ideas to reedygeeks at gmail.com.

13
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,720
In today's episode, the Geeks share our MySpace Top 8

14
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,840
pre-shows at Walt Disney World.

15
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,840
["Walt Disney World"]

16
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,040
From the very beginning, Walt Disney envisioned his parks

17
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,520
as a place where guests would feel transported

18
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,160
into another world.

19
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:53,160
Originally, Disneyland used themed lands and queues

20
00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:55,400
to set the scene before an attraction,

21
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,320
letting the setting itself introduce a story.

22
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,760
But as Disney Imagineers continued to innovate,

23
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,280
pre-shows evolved into more engaging experiences.

24
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,120
They began incorporating videos, special effects,

25
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,960
and interactive elements that immerse guests

26
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:12,080
even before they board the ride.

27
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:16,400
Now, pre-shows are more than just a lead-up.

28
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,560
They are crucial storytelling moments

29
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,720
that pull guests inside the narrative

30
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,080
and highlight the excitement for the main event.

31
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,400
Today, we're celebrating some of Walt Disney World's

32
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,320
most memorable pre-shows and exploring the ways

33
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:32,720
they enrich the magic and build anticipation.

34
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,360
That was really good.

35
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,600
Yeah? Wow. That was really good.

36
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:37,640
That was a good lead-up.

37
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,320
You've got me a little excited. Thank you.

38
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:40,480
Thank you.

39
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,480
["Great Charming Room"]

40
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,920
So we're going to be sharing the Geeks' official list,

41
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,880
Top 8 best pre-shows at Walt Disney World.

42
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,920
I know how those kids love MySpace.

43
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,800
Yes. It's very relevant in today's day and age.

44
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,320
Top 8 is better than Top 10.

45
00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,720
Well, yeah, I think so, too.

46
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,880
I think you have to make some tough decisions with Top 8.

47
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,640
Yeah. 10 is too generous.

48
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,000
It is. Yeah.

49
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,960
There were, like, 11-ish worthy contenders.

50
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,720
So 10, you only have to make one decision.

51
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,320
Right. You have to really analyze these pre-shows

52
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,920
and come up with the best ones in order to get down to 8.

53
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:23,360
We actually did have one pre-show

54
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,560
that is from a defunct ride that we thought

55
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,840
would have been on this list if it was still around today.

56
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:30,920
Yeah.

57
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:35,680
And that was the extra-terror-restral alien encounter.

58
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,800
Yeah. That was truly terrifying.

59
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,760
We got to see the end of poor... Was it Sparky?

60
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,200
Skippy? Skippy. Skippy.

61
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,120
Poor Skippy. Yeah.

62
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,600
So, Sean, you don't remember this, right?

63
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:48,880
Absolutely no memory of this.

64
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,600
Maybe you never saw it. I don't think I ever did.

65
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:51,320
I don't think I ever did.

66
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,600
Because that ride was, like, not open all the time.

67
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,120
It's kind of hidden.

68
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,960
And then it was also so scary.

69
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,880
You had a younger sibling.

70
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,560
They might not even have been in a consideration to go on it.

71
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:04,880
I don't think I ever rode this.

72
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,320
It was so scary that it quickly went into B-mode

73
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:12,640
after, like, one month, because it was way too scary for kids.

74
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:17,320
But in the pre-show, you would watch kind of a small-scale

75
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,080
experiment of what they're going to do in front of you.

76
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,560
And they're taking one animatronic, really cute,

77
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,840
like, teddy bear-like animatronic alien

78
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,320
and transporting them into a, like, cell,

79
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:32,640
like, right next to him, right?

80
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:35,560
But the whole point was that they were going to take him apart

81
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,640
and transport him into that cell.

82
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,200
Yeah, they're showing off, like, a teleportation experiment

83
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,560
that they're working on.

84
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,120
But it goes miserably wrong.

85
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,960
And you basically see this poor, cute animatronic get

86
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:57,000
fried up, and then they kill him in front of children.

87
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:57,880
Good.

88
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,720
I was only a boy.

89
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:00,560
I left a man.

90
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,920
That's a whole crazy ride in general, that whole experience.

91
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,400
Is that what is known as alien encounter?

92
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:11,880
Yes.

93
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:12,360
OK.

94
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,680
Yeah, alien encounter.

95
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,680
And then for a brief time, it was Stitch's Great Escape,

96
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:23,600
which did not have a pre-show to my memory.

97
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,520
Stitch's Great Escape was so lame, though.

98
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:26,760
I've never seen it.

99
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:27,640
It was not great.

100
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,000
Yeah, I think I did it once.

101
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,680
I definitely saw the alien one.

102
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,840
That scared me.

103
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:32,340
Yeah.

104
00:04:32,340 --> 00:04:33,560
Pretty good.

105
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,720
All right, well, let's get into our MySpace Top 8.

106
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,080
And we're going to start on the bottom of the list with number

107
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,800
eight, and that's going to be Rock and Roller Coaster.

108
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:48,280
Basically, this is a movie, and it sets up the story.

109
00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:50,840
Yeah, I think it does a really good job setting the story.

110
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:54,640
And I also would argue that it's not just a movie,

111
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,720
because it looks like you're right in a recording studio.

112
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,040
You see like Aerosmith's Gear, and sure, there

113
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,640
is a movie that plays behind it, but they do a good job

114
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,720
having the screen look like the control room of a recording

115
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:13,000
studio, and then you get to see all their gear.

116
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,600
It's really cool for the music nerd in me to be like, oh,

117
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:16,840
check out this drum kit.

118
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:19,880
Check out this cool guitar.

119
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,560
Check out these great scarves.

120
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,480
Well, and that used to be more of a production, too.

121
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,720
They used to have a cast member in there that would go and grab

122
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,120
his guitar when he asked like, oh, Johnny,

123
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,400
can you grab my guitar?

124
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,680
And it was interactive, too.

125
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,640
Like, he set a line back to the guy that

126
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,440
grabs the guitar would also say a line back to one

127
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,080
of the agent, right?

128
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,560
Yeah, I really have to say Les Paul on the podcast.

129
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,960
I really have to name drop the product.

130
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:51,460
Yeah.

131
00:05:51,460 --> 00:05:53,400
Doesn't he say grab my black Les Paul?

132
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:53,900
Yeah.

133
00:05:53,900 --> 00:05:54,960
Yeah, I think that's the line.

134
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:55,440
Yeah.

135
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:55,960
Yeah.

136
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:01,560
For non-music people, is Les Paul like lesser than Paul?

137
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,920
No, it's the name of a man that invented a bunch of guitars.

138
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:05,640
OK.

139
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:06,240
Yeah, please go.

140
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:06,920
I want to go back.

141
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,040
His name is Les Paul.

142
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,000
It's his first time in his last name.

143
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:18,400
And he invented a bunch of guitars for Gibson in the 1940s,

144
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:19,600
50s, 60s.

145
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:24,920
Well, apparently those were real artifacts.

146
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:25,880
They were actual.

147
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,680
They were an user.

148
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,000
They were all real, right?

149
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,080
And they kept on coming up missing after a while.

150
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,280
They can cast members, maybe took them.

151
00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:36,760
Is that real?

152
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:37,240
Is it serious?

153
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:37,520
Yeah.

154
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:37,920
Oh, wow.

155
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:38,320
I thought you were.

156
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,200
Oh, I didn't know that they actually disappeared.

157
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,400
I knew they were real guitars.

158
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,440
I just thought you were trying to make some really bad joke

159
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,520
about how the guitars are really real.

160
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:46,520
And I was like, yeah, they're.

161
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,960
And they were really from Aerosmith.

162
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,920
They noted them guitars to make it as authentic as possible.

163
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,360
But then one by one, little things here and there

164
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,200
started turning up missing.

165
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,440
Interesting.

166
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:00,840
I don't even know that.

167
00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:04,040
No, I think Rock and Roll Coaster is a fun pre-show.

168
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,440
That is quotable, immensely quotable.

169
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,800
I think we've dropped at least one or two of them.

170
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:11,320
Wait a minute.

171
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,000
I love that idea.

172
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:12,680
It's one of my.

173
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,080
Podcast episodes, yeah.

174
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,320
One of my favorite drops to use is, wait a minute.

175
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,720
I love that idea, which is from this.

176
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,080
Also the.

177
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,200
Can I get a stretch, Lamo?

178
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:22,600
Wait.

179
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:23,240
And just like that.

180
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,600
A super corny.

181
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,360
Like, you know how much we care about our fans.

182
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:27,880
Yeah.

183
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:28,920
Oh, so bad.

184
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:29,240
Yeah.

185
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,640
How about some backstage pants?

186
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:30,840
Right.

187
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,400
Yeah.

188
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,320
Can't let them down.

189
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:34,960
Yeah.

190
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,120
Immensely corny, but corny in a very good way.

191
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:38,840
All right, folks.

192
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:39,600
We got to go.

193
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,280
Very worthy first entry to the list.

194
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:44,760
It is.

195
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:45,400
It is.

196
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,960
And some of these other pre-shows might be better,

197
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,200
but this one is so critical to the ride.

198
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,000
Like, if you didn't have this pre-show,

199
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,320
it would just be an indoor roller coaster with no theming.

200
00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:58,680
Yeah.

201
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,880
And it would be no better than a Six Flags ride.

202
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:02,160
Right.

203
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,400
And actually, arguably, a mediocre Six Flags ride.

204
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:05,920
Yeah.

205
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,440
So JJ, do you want to take us to number seven?

206
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:08,800
Sure.

207
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,320
I'll start us off with number seven.

208
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:15,360
Number seven is going to be at Animal Kingdom,

209
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,920
and it will be the Flight of Passage.

210
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,120
It's just really immersive.

211
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,720
You get into that pre-show.

212
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,440
You really feel like there's a scientific test

213
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:27,840
being conducted.

214
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:28,560
Repetitive.

215
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,240
You're getting matched with an avatar.

216
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,280
We're not talking about the queue.

217
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,560
No, not the queue.

218
00:08:33,560 --> 00:08:36,240
This was a ride that was much higher up on our queues list.

219
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:36,600
Right.

220
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,880
And it is much lower down on the pre-show list

221
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,760
just because there's better.

222
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,680
When you make the cutoff of what a queue is

223
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:46,000
and what a pre-show is, there are things that just

224
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,400
have much better pre-shows than this.

225
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:47,900
Right.

226
00:08:47,900 --> 00:08:51,880
This is where they're trying to genetically map you

227
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,440
and match you with an avatar, as well as the video

228
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:01,840
of the very nervous scientist who loves Sigourney Weaver's

229
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:02,480
character.

230
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:03,520
Yes.

231
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:04,880
Fly.

232
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,800
And fly.

233
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,320
That guy's a really great actor.

234
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,600
I really believe he's a very nervous scientist.

235
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,480
I thought he was in the movie.

236
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:13,980
No.

237
00:09:13,980 --> 00:09:14,600
I thought he was in.

238
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,360
I thought they were taking characters from the movie.

239
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:16,680
Yeah.

240
00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:19,160
No, they just hired him for that ride.

241
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,520
How crazy is that?

242
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,400
But stupendous job by him.

243
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,000
Someone give him a race.

244
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,240
He probably made like sag minimum for a day of work.

245
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,640
Thanks, Walt.

246
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:32,840
Poor guy.

247
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:33,480
Poor guy.

248
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,920
He probably didn't even get like a lightning lane

249
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,960
for that ride.

250
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:39,920
Calm down, Rover.

251
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,000
I was only kidding.

252
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,080
OK, how about number six, Sean?

253
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,840
Number six, we have Tower of Terror.

254
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,720
Hollywood Studios' former, I think, premiere attraction.

255
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,600
I think this is a ride that the pre-show is,

256
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,080
it's pretty perfect for what it needs to be.

257
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,240
Really no notes on improving it.

258
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,360
But it's short.

259
00:09:59,360 --> 00:09:59,960
It's sweet.

260
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:00,800
It sets you up.

261
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,920
And then it shoots you right back into another queue.

262
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,040
So hard to put it, even though it's well-themed.

263
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,520
It's the old Twilight Zone.

264
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,400
The guy that does the narration, it's

265
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:11,680
perfect for what it needs to be.

266
00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:15,240
But I think it's just a little too short to put,

267
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:16,440
to shoot it up on this list.

268
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,160
Yeah, I think because this is, you know,

269
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,840
we're comparing a ride from 1995 to rides

270
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,160
that came out in 2022.

271
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,520
And I think just making a clear distinction,

272
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,320
because we've already done an episode of queues,

273
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,600
to not factor in how great the queue is in terms of how great

274
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,080
the cast members that work the pre-show is.

275
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,160
This is specifically the moment where you're

276
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,400
in the library watching the video.

277
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,480
And then you look up and you see.

278
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,600
It's like a television, it's an old style television up there.

279
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:52,400
And in the windows, it progressively gets darker out

280
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,880
as the story goes and it starts raining and storming.

281
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,240
Yeah, it's a storm.

282
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,160
And then that one moment where he's like in the Twilight Zone.

283
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,440
And it's like, you get surround sound.

284
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:03,400
The thunder and lightning.

285
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:04,080
The thunder and lightning.

286
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,360
But it's almost like 3D sound that it turns into.

287
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,840
Yeah, it goes pitch and it goes like pitch black.

288
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:09,600
Yeah.

289
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,280
And then the door opens.

290
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,520
Again, it's really, really great and really cool

291
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:21,480
and iconic, great job casting the Rod Sterling sound alike.

292
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,640
Because you would think that this was just audio pulled

293
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,640
from an episode of the Twilight Zone.

294
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:28,600
And it's not.

295
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:33,880
It's a unique story that is just in this world.

296
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,120
Like they almost just made an extra episode of the Twilight

297
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,080
Zone that happens to be this ride.

298
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,520
Well, it's also another one of like, if you didn't have,

299
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,560
well, I guess if you didn't have this pre-show,

300
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:47,920
you would really not have any idea of what's going on

301
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:48,640
on the ride.

302
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,040
Like this is definitely necessary.

303
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,080
The pre-show specifically sets up the elevator

304
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,400
that the family went missing in.

305
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:56,120
Right, right.

306
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:56,600
Yes.

307
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,640
And then we're going to go ride the same elevator right now.

308
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:00,240
Yeah.

309
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,480
What could go wrong?

310
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:02,720
No, nothing can go wrong.

311
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,200
Nothing.

312
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,120
We're going to have a good time.

313
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,080
So our number five, moving on along to number five,

314
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,200
is Smuggler's Run.

315
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,520
So actually, I'm going to put this off on one of you guys,

316
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,120
because I think you guys know this one a little bit better.

317
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,160
I don't really, other than Hondo,

318
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,560
I don't really remember what else is this.

319
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:25,440
What else is it?

320
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,440
It's Hondo.

321
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:27,520
It is Hondo?

322
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:28,320
OK.

323
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,240
It's like, kind of remember you guys saying there's a video

324
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:32,120
about the video?

325
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,120
Yeah, well, you go through the hangar,

326
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,480
and you go around like the ship's bay,

327
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,600
and you go up the ramp.

328
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,440
And there's all the droids working on the ship.

329
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,400
And then you go into the pre-show video.

330
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,200
Is Hondo explaining what he's doing?

331
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,720
You got to go and get the, I'm missing the coaxium.

332
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:51,840
The coaxium.

333
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,040
And it's just, it's really fun.

334
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,240
It's a new character.

335
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,520
It introduces some new, some fun new droids.

336
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:02,040
They come out of the sides, and you see Chewbacca.

337
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,960
Then you, in my opinion, I think part of the pre-show

338
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,440
is when you go into the Millennium Falcon.

339
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:07,760
That pre-loading area?

340
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:07,880
Yeah.

341
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,960
Because I don't think it's necessarily

342
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:14,040
a queue because they're letting in specific numbers of groups.

343
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,760
You're not waiting in line anymore.

344
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:16,360
You're in there.

345
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:17,800
You're freely walking around.

346
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,360
You're sitting at the chess table.

347
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,720
You're taking your pictures.

348
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,680
And then they're just assigning you as you come in

349
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:24,760
what you're going to be.

350
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:25,520
You're going to be the gunner.

351
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:26,520
You're going to be the maintenance.

352
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:27,520
You're going to be whatever.

353
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,880
You're not really waiting in line anymore.

354
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,560
I feel like the pre-show starts at the video

355
00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:37,560
and continues through until you're into the cockpit

356
00:13:37,560 --> 00:13:38,200
riding the ride.

357
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,320
That's what elevates it, I think, for me.

358
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:41,640
So it is a video.

359
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:42,320
There is a video.

360
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:43,240
That starts with a video.

361
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:44,120
There is a video.

362
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,000
But there's also one of the most advanced animatronics

363
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,520
that Disney has ever made.

364
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,080
It's incredible.

365
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,600
And I think if the whole experience was you wait online

366
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,400
for 15 minutes and then you watch that animatronic talk

367
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,920
for like four minutes, I think that's worth it.

368
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:05,760
For 15 minutes.

369
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:06,480
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

370
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:07,280
15 minutes.

371
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:07,960
15 minutes.

372
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:08,480
Yeah.

373
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,280
Yeah, and I got to give Disney credit

374
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,000
for making such an advanced animatronic for Hondo

375
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:20,120
because he is a, like he's like a level D character

376
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,960
from Rebels.

377
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,120
Well, I think they may have, I think they read

378
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,680
content into Rebels, right?

379
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,640
No, no, no, Rebels is old.

380
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:34,640
Yeah, no, he was a character already from Rebels

381
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,840
and from Clone Wars.

382
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:41,520
But to make a whole ride.

383
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,560
Basically out of his character.

384
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:44,160
Yeah.

385
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,760
That was like a deep cut, right?

386
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:47,360
Yeah.

387
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:52,560
A little bit of a thank you to the hardcore Clone Wars fans,

388
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:53,160
right?

389
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,160
And because for a while, that was the only ride

390
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,920
that was open in Galaxy's Edge.

391
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,200
How disappointing that must that have been to experience

392
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,480
Galaxy's Edge before.

393
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,320
And only be able to ride Smud.

394
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,360
That was when we did the Disneyland.

395
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:07,160
That was how it worked.

396
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,240
We did Rise of the Risen's, it wasn't open.

397
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,640
We got all through Galaxy's Edge and the only thing.

398
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,000
But it was really cool the first time

399
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:13,840
you see the Millennium Falcon.

400
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,800
The first time you go on the ride, it was awesome.

401
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,400
But thinking back what it is now.

402
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,640
So, and it's Hondo.

403
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:21,960
Keep on forgetting that.

404
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:22,440
Yeah, Hondo.

405
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:23,280
I think I was saying Rondo.

406
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:24,360
Hondo.

407
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,800
You're thinking of a Rondo rap.

408
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,120
Oh, god, I want a Rondo rapper right now.

409
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,320
Oh, that sounds great.

410
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,200
Hondo Onaka.

411
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,440
Yeah.

412
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,760
We did it!

413
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,160
Let's eat!

414
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:43,000
OK, so let's move on to number four.

415
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,040
I think this is kind of the OG.

416
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,520
Is this the very first pre-show Disney ever did?

417
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:55,120
Yeah, and I think because it's not a video.

418
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,160
And so in my introduction, I talked about how it was the land.

419
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:03,160
It was the queue that would set up the story

420
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,440
before they had videos to be pre-show videos.

421
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,200
Oh, yeah, because this was before.

422
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,520
Because everything is a video now.

423
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:12,600
Yeah, everything is a video now.

424
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,720
But they had to tell a story on this ride

425
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,600
without showing you a screen, without showing you a movie,

426
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,640
without showing you a moving picture.

427
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:26,360
So they did it with audio, and they did it with the room

428
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,640
transforming itself.

429
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:29,160
Yes.

430
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:29,640
Right.

431
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,600
So we are, of course, talking about the haunted mansion.

432
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,800
Probably should mention that, yes.

433
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:36,760
Well, we were getting there.

434
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:37,720
We were building.

435
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:38,280
We were building.

436
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:38,920
It was the pre-show.

437
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,360
We were building.

438
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,520
This was the pre-show to number four.

439
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,840
The ghost host is so cool.

440
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,960
The paintings as the room is stretching is so much fun.

441
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:54,040
That scream, and then you get to see the, like, you look up,

442
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,840
and there's that, like, there's a visual of, like, the,

443
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,520
is it like a noose or something up there?

444
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:00,020
Yeah.

445
00:17:00,020 --> 00:17:01,160
And they're definitely hanging themselves.

446
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:01,660
Yeah.

447
00:17:01,660 --> 00:17:02,480
That's the thing, yeah.

448
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,480
But it's not, like, when I was a kid,

449
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,440
I had no idea what that was.

450
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:06,960
Right.

451
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:07,640
Yeah.

452
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,240
You're not really supposed to know that.

453
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,800
But you know it's spooky.

454
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:11,400
Yeah.

455
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,080
And you know something's falling.

456
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:17,160
You know it's spooky, and you know the ghost host

457
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,000
is showing us this mansion.

458
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:20,560
Yeah.

459
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:21,360
Yeah.

460
00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:22,280
And it's really cool.

461
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:27,320
And what it was really, it comes from a necessity

462
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,600
for the Disneyland version of the ride.

463
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,360
So the stretching room in the Disneyland version of the ride

464
00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:35,360
goes down.

465
00:17:35,360 --> 00:17:40,200
It is, yes, it is an elevator with an open top.

466
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,480
And it's actually physically taking you lower down

467
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,240
into where the ride starts.

468
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:47,740
Right.

469
00:17:47,740 --> 00:17:49,920
And don't you have to walk under the berm then?

470
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:50,520
Yes.

471
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,920
So it's to get you lower to go under the berm

472
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,120
and into the show building.

473
00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:54,600
Right.

474
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:55,160
Yeah.

475
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,160
Yeah.

476
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,120
And it was such a great trick.

477
00:17:58,120 --> 00:18:01,080
And it painted a picture of the story so well

478
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,480
that when they went to go put it in Disney World,

479
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,240
they had to put the stretching room back in it.

480
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:07,600
Yeah.

481
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:08,280
They had to leave it.

482
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:09,400
They didn't need to do that.

483
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:09,960
Yeah.

484
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,840
The stretching room, the stretching room in Disney World,

485
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,480
the room is stretching upwards.

486
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:16,120
Yeah.

487
00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:19,680
But in Disneyland, it looks like the room is stretching upward.

488
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,360
But you're actually going down an elevator.

489
00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:23,920
Right.

490
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,240
Down.

491
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,680
So that is part of Imagineering Magic.

492
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,400
And it's so cool that it was so successful

493
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,000
that they had to put it in the Disney World version.

494
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,200
And talk about quotability.

495
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:37,680
Right?

496
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:38,160
Like this.

497
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,760
I was going to say, that's one of the things I think I actually

498
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,760
like the least about this ride is that people feel the need

499
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,160
to recite along.

500
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:46,400
Yeah.

501
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,600
I definitely mentioned this in the Q version episode of this

502
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,480
is that it's, wah-ha, it's so quotable.

503
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,600
I think that's one of its flaws is

504
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,600
that the fans feel the need to stand there in the room

505
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,200
and recite the entire pre-dialogue.

506
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,160
Yeah, it's a little bit.

507
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,320
And it's just like, just a little bit of a toxic fan base, huh?

508
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:04,680
Yeah.

509
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:05,280
A little bit.

510
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,320
A great thing with a bad fan base.

511
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:08,960
That's never happened before.

512
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:09,760
Yeah.

513
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,520
He says, being an avid fan of Disney World, the Yankees.

514
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:14,920
You guys can say the Yankees.

515
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,960
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

516
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:21,520
But your cadaverous power betrays an aura for boating.

517
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,600
Like, that's just so, like, creepy.

518
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,240
They don't make words like that anymore.

519
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:28,280
No, they did.

520
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:29,000
I don't.

521
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,120
It's definitely the ride with the most, like, cult fandom.

522
00:19:32,120 --> 00:19:33,000
Yeah.

523
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:33,560
Oh, yeah.

524
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:34,640
Yep.

525
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,400
OK, Sean, why don't you take us to number three?

526
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,440
Number three, we are going for the first time to Epcot.

527
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,400
And we have Guardians of the Galaxy, Cosmic Rewind.

528
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:45,440
Nui Baguti.

529
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,680
The newest ride on this list.

530
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:48,800
Am I right there?

531
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,080
Did this come out before?

532
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:50,720
Oh, yeah.

533
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:51,520
Number two?

534
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:51,760
Yep.

535
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:52,440
OK.

536
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:53,640
No, so you mean after.

537
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:54,480
It came after.

538
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,600
The newest ride on this list.

539
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,440
This is the newest ride on the list,

540
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,360
because it came out in 2022.

541
00:20:00,360 --> 00:20:01,280
Right.

542
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,320
I mean, I guess it would be the, what else would it be?

543
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:05,040
Oh, Tron.

544
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:05,960
But Tron sticks.

545
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:06,800
He only sticks.

546
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,080
That's a terrible cue.

547
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,520
Bad cue, not a great ride.

548
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:13,160
Mediocre ride.

549
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:13,800
Yeah, like, like.

550
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,400
Mediocre ride.

551
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,240
Not, yeah, we can do that on a different day, but.

552
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,640
It's a one-trick pony.

553
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,440
The one, the only trick Tron has is riding it at night.

554
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:23,720
Yeah.

555
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,400
It's really cool if you ride it at night.

556
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:25,680
Yeah.

557
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,840
But then once you go back inside,

558
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,120
it doesn't matter what time of the day you're riding it.

559
00:20:30,120 --> 00:20:32,880
But if you can ride it at night, you go over that first,

560
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,440
that first curve there, and just the ride vehicle.

561
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,480
Just the most uncomfortable thing I've ever been in.

562
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:38,560
I know.

563
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,280
It sounds cool, looks cool.

564
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:41,880
And like when you're.

565
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,520
It looks cool when it goes by.

566
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:44,200
Yeah.

567
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,800
And when you're going up, you know, outside,

568
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,560
and you put your hands up, like, then you're like,

569
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:51,280
oh, this is cool.

570
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,560
But then what after that?

571
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:57,480
I'm more comfortable in the Superman six flags seat

572
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,040
that just turns you on your stomach.

573
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,640
Oh, that actually is a very comfortable seat.

574
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,120
To make it feel like you're flying.

575
00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:03,720
But yeah.

576
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,640
I find it to be a very comfortable seat with this,

577
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,040
with that soft vest and then that, yeah.

578
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:08,320
Yeah.

579
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,120
Tron ride vehicle was not comfortable on the legs

580
00:21:12,120 --> 00:21:13,960
and thighs that have been walking around all day.

581
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:14,520
Yeah.

582
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:14,960
Yeah.

583
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:15,560
Not great.

584
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,680
But well, especially you got some big thighs there.

585
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:19,440
You got like.

586
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:20,400
Wrong legs.

587
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:20,640
Yeah.

588
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:21,520
Tree trunk's there.

589
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:22,440
We don't have to go there.

590
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:28,800
But anyway.

591
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,160
Oh, so Guardians of the Galaxy.

592
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,040
Where were we?

593
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,640
You, boy, hot as fourth of July we've had in years.

594
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,360
Guardians of the Galaxy.

595
00:21:42,360 --> 00:21:43,200
What?

596
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:43,920
This is a ride.

597
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,680
It's like they pull out all the tricks.

598
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:47,000
Yeah.

599
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:47,520
Yeah.

600
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:53,800
It's got disappearing items, the walls move, the room shakes.

601
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:59,400
It's got all of the cool stuff that you want in a pre-show.

602
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,680
It tells the story really well.

603
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:02,600
It's funny.

604
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:03,320
It's funny.

605
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,280
It's got great guest actors, guest voices.

606
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,080
Iconic guest actors.

607
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,560
You've got Terry Crews and Glenn Close.

608
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,720
It's quotable even though it's only been around

609
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,640
for like two or three years.

610
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,000
Yeah, no, they did a really good job with that.

611
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,600
And this is another ride where you need this for the story.

612
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:23,080
Oh, yeah.

613
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,880
You need to know what the story is before you get on the ride

614
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:26,840
for sure.

615
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,480
I mean, it takes you to space, right?

616
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:30,480
In the pre-show.

617
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:31,560
That is very cool.

618
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:32,840
That's like.

619
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,720
And it's funny that Terry Crews, he's

620
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,440
putting on a clinic of how much acting he can do

621
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:39,600
without taking off his shirt.

622
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:46,720
Yeah, when you're transported up into the ship,

623
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,440
that's a very cool effect.

624
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,920
And I'm always surprised every time it works.

625
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,000
So I'm like, oh, it works again.

626
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,160
This is great.

627
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,520
And also Terry Crews is like, you made it.

628
00:22:58,520 --> 00:22:59,520
I knew you would.

629
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,080
No, that's from something that didn't work.

630
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,200
That's a dinosaur.

631
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:07,680
You made it.

632
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,480
I knew you would, but that's from the ride itself,

633
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:11,440
not from the pre-show.

634
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:12,280
Right, right.

635
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,680
Yeah, no, that Guardians Galaxy, really, really good one.

636
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,120
Yeah, I think the only thing that keeps it from being higher,

637
00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:25,000
which is funny, like it's number three, it's outstanding.

638
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,080
I think the only thing that keeps it from being higher

639
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,360
is that it's maybe not quite.

640
00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:34,440
It relies a little heavily on screens and videos.

641
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,640
Yeah, it just doesn't quite have the same heart

642
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,280
that the top two have.

643
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,520
It doesn't have that like, it's got magic

644
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,080
and it does really cool magic tricks,

645
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:46,760
but it doesn't feel like Disney magic.

646
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,960
It feels like technology magic.

647
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,360
Yeah, yeah.

648
00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:54,640
Like it does make you think that's like a hologram, right?

649
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:59,080
Yeah, and it does that cool trick with the thing that gets

650
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:04,480
stolen, it disappears in a cool way, it happens.

651
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:05,880
And you're like, how do they do that?

652
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,520
You're just thinking about how do they pull that off?

653
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:09,600
Yeah. So cool.

654
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,240
Like you said, you start in a room and the room changes

655
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,720
and all of a sudden you're in space and the room shakes.

656
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:16,760
Yeah.

657
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,560
And vibrates in a way that I don't think a room's supposed to.

658
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,400
Yeah.

659
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,040
And they pull off so many cool tricks,

660
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,040
but something about it just feels very techy

661
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,120
and not like super Disney.

662
00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:30,440
Yeah, yeah, I get that.

663
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,760
And sometimes like the first time I was in there,

664
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,160
it was a little hard to follow what was going on, right?

665
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:39,120
Because there's a lot going on.

666
00:24:39,120 --> 00:24:40,960
Yeah, there's a lot of moving pieces here, right?

667
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,640
Like you are going up to the spaceship, okay,

668
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,240
then there's this thing that I was just introduced to.

669
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,800
I don't even know that that's the thing there, right?

670
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:50,840
That's the story.

671
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,760
Is that little thing on the left,

672
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,200
on the side of the build, on the side of it,

673
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,600
that gets stolen and that's why you have to go.

674
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:58,880
But I didn't know what that was.

675
00:24:58,880 --> 00:24:59,720
Right.

676
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,840
And you can easily just not even look at that.

677
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:02,680
Right, exactly.

678
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,400
Because there's so much going on.

679
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,920
If you don't know to look over to the left there,

680
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:07,880
you might miss it.

681
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:08,720
Yeah.

682
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,480
What is it, the quantum generator?

683
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:11,760
Quantum generator, I think that's great.

684
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,080
Wow, now it's cosmic generator.

685
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,080
Cosmic generator, wow.

686
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,280
Cosmic generator, it's the name of the ride.

687
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,400
Yeah, yeah. Cosmic three one, cosmic generator.

688
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:19,800
Okay, so the cosmic generator,

689
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,400
you don't know it's that little guy.

690
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,720
We took the scenic ride, we got there, cosmic generator.

691
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,640
All right, I think we're ready for number two.

692
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,960
So number two, we have Mickey and Minnie's

693
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,360
Runaway Railway and that's going to be

694
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:33,440
with our good friend Goofy.

695
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,560
I'm a known Goofy guy.

696
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,120
You are a known Goofy guy.

697
00:25:37,120 --> 00:25:39,640
This might play into why it's so high on the list.

698
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,520
Yeah, maybe I like put a little heavy hand

699
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,440
on putting this up higher because I'm a Goofy guy.

700
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,960
I like that this is, well first of all,

701
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,160
you have Mickey and Minnie in it, right, and Pluto.

702
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,400
And they're going on at Picnic.

703
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:56,720
And what could possibly go wrong?

704
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,160
Right, and it's nice that it's a cartoon

705
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,680
and it's really cool in that sense,

706
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,560
but then something does go wrong, obviously,

707
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,080
in all the shorts they go wrong.

708
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,560
And there's an explosion and you get invited into-

709
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:12,400
The cartoon.

710
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:13,560
The cartoon, yeah.

711
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,160
There's interaction between the cast member and Goofy.

712
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,760
So Goofy's on screen, he's talking to cast member.

713
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,680
I always think that's a really fun thing to do.

714
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,800
When the explosion happens, the screen pops out

715
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,080
and explodes and all the smoke comes out

716
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:35,160
and it's a fun little trick where the door is open

717
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,280
and you walk in and then that next room, it's all cartoony.

718
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,520
You go from reality into the cartoon as the pre-show ends.

719
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,560
It's really cool.

720
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,040
Again, and this is like all Disney magic as opposed to-

721
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:48,880
Yeah.

722
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:49,920
As opposed to Guardians of the Galaxy.

723
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,960
Like everything they do, they're simpler tricks

724
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:57,720
than what Guardians is doing, but it all feels so Disney.

725
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,800
And you get that like nostalgia for something

726
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,240
that's only four years old.

727
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:03,080
Right.

728
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,200
And it can't be because of the fact that it's Mickey and Minnie.

729
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,120
Because I mean, for us, that cartoon style

730
00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:10,960
isn't our nostalgia, right?

731
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,720
Unless we're nostalgic for Russ Hanaman,

732
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,160
who is the, he voices that Mickey.

733
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,000
Oh yeah.

734
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,080
The actor who plays Russ Hanaman on Silicon Valley

735
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,520
is Mickey Mouse.

736
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:24,720
How crazy is that?

737
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,120
I would like to hear a side by side.

738
00:27:28,120 --> 00:27:30,920
What?

739
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,560
Hey, that wasn't very nice.

740
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,000
These are not the doors of a billionaire, Richard.

741
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,280
Really great ride.

742
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:37,960
Really great pre-show.

743
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,240
So much fun.

744
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,240
You know, there's no height requirement on it.

745
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,000
So even you get to see little, little kids experience this.

746
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,520
And it's like so magical, so fast.

747
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,040
Original song.

748
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:49,840
Oh, great song.

749
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:50,160
Yeah.

750
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:50,960
Oh, God, the song.

751
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:51,960
Yeah.

752
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,600
Nothing can stop us now.

753
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:56,720
Bop, bop, bop, bop.

754
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,480
I love to edit the song in and take him and sing it out.

755
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:00,160
And take me out.

756
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:00,560
Yeah.

757
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,440
No, we just put it after me.

758
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,000
Well, there's not going to be, there

759
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,000
won't be a copyright strike if Shopee sings it.

760
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,040
There won't be listeners if Shopee sings it.

761
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,240
All right, so JJ, why don't you take us to number one?

762
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,360
Actually, before we get to number one,

763
00:28:18,360 --> 00:28:20,520
I would like to bring up a few of these rides that

764
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,680
may be just missed a cut.

765
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,240
OK.

766
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:28,680
First on the list, we did allude to it briefly, dinosaur.

767
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,600
Dinosaur is a really fun pre-show.

768
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,320
Dr. Seeker is unhinged.

769
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,600
Claire Huxabull is in it.

770
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,480
A really fun, like, pseudo-sciencey kind of thing

771
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,920
that sets the story up of, oh, we're

772
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,040
going to go back to in time to when the dinosaurs live.

773
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,720
But we're not just going to go back in time

774
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:49,880
to where the dinosaurs lived.

775
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:55,760
We're going to go back to right before the world ends,

776
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,600
which what could possibly go wrong?

777
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,640
This also just, like, dinosaur just seems so 90s, right?

778
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,360
Like, is there anything more 90s than this video?

779
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,360
The video is so, like, it's so 90s.

780
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:09,840
Yeah.

781
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,120
Yeah, and it's, but that's part of its charm, right?

782
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:13,760
Yes, absolutely, absolutely.

783
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,240
And the whole idea of, I guess, Guardians does this too,

784
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,400
where, like, there's a problem and only you can solve it.

785
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:21,200
You know what I mean?

786
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,720
And that's a very 90s Disney thing.

787
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,920
I think they brought it back for Guardians, but.

788
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,040
I think that's just a ride thing.

789
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:30,760
Yeah.

790
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,480
Yeah, I guess, you know.

791
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:37,120
Because even in Universal, unlike the Transformers ride,

792
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:38,360
it's the same thing.

793
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,160
It's like, you got to get the whatever cube.

794
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,960
Or you got to get coaxium, right?

795
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:44,640
Right.

796
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,680
Yeah, you're the one driving the ship.

797
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:47,360
Right.

798
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:48,920
Hondo Onaka knows how to drive the ship,

799
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:49,840
but we have to.

800
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,400
The first time, we've never, we just met him.

801
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,400
But we're going to be the ones that drive the ship.

802
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:55,400
Right.

803
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,520
At the end of the ride, Chewie can guide you in.

804
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,360
Why couldn't he guide us the whole time?

805
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:00,360
What?

806
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,400
So, Sean, how about another honorable mention?

807
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,040
This one is one of my favorites.

808
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,640
We're going back to Epcot, and this one is Soren.

809
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,040
Soren, whether it's around the world or Soren over California,

810
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:16,880
it's the same.

811
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:17,720
It's the same pre-show.

812
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:18,720
Same pre-show.

813
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:19,800
It's so simple.

814
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:24,120
It's so basic, but it's so hilarious and quotable

815
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:24,760
and memorable.

816
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,840
And Patrick Warburton is just maybe the best guest

817
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,480
that has done a video for a pre-show in Disney.

818
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:37,560
It's a masterclass on what plays well at a theme park.

819
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,560
And what they just did at D23, bringing it back,

820
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,920
was absolutely perfect.

821
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:43,760
It was so funny.

822
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,720
The guy with the Mickey ears, so perfect.

823
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:47,880
That was awesome.

824
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:48,920
Yeah.

825
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:53,000
And the only reason why I missed the cut is maybe it really

826
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,640
is just like some in-flight safety video.

827
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:56,320
Yeah, yeah.

828
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:57,560
It's just about safety.

829
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:58,080
That's really it.

830
00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:59,080
Yeah.

831
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:00,320
It's got the humor.

832
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:01,320
It's got the one-liners.

833
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,320
But I mean, there's obviously so many better.

834
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:04,600
Yeah.

835
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,560
And you're just watching a little screen.

836
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,840
It's not even like you're in an immersive space.

837
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,240
Like a lot of these other ones are.

838
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:10,600
Right.

839
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,560
Right.

840
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,080
And then finally, our last honorable mention

841
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:19,800
was Muppet Vision 3D, which is a great pre-show.

842
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,720
I got to admit, I usually miss half of it

843
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,720
because they'll start the pre-show before it's even

844
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:25,200
filled up.

845
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:25,480
Yeah.

846
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:26,200
You know?

847
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:26,480
Right.

848
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,400
And so I get in there and I'm like, what's going on?

849
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,960
You're halfway through the pre-show when you're walking in

850
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:36,200
because the theater isn't really filling up like crazy.

851
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,960
So they'll just let you in during the pre-show.

852
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:40,880
And again, that pre-show is another one

853
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:45,080
where you're just in a holding area that's not crazy themed

854
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:46,640
and you're watching a TV screen.

855
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,640
Like on tube TVs.

856
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:48,960
Yeah.

857
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,800
Like TVs that use tubes.

858
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:51,840
Yeah.

859
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:52,960
That's part of its charm, though.

860
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:53,680
Yeah.

861
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,560
Rizzo will walk between the TVs.

862
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:57,880
Yes.

863
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:58,560
That's pretty cool.

864
00:31:58,560 --> 00:31:59,640
Yeah.

865
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,280
Oh, he pretends to be Mickey Mouse.

866
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,440
He does pretend to be Mickey Mouse.

867
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,840
Muppet humor plays really well in the theme parks.

868
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,600
And I hope it never changes.

869
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,080
Yeah.

870
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,720
And it never will because no other ride is going to replace

871
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:15,880
that area of the park.

872
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,480
And you heard it here first.

873
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:19,360
Breaking news.

874
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,880
Sean Murphy can confirm.

875
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:37,160
So our number one, let's head to our number one pre-show.

876
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:38,560
JJ, take us there.

877
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:39,600
OK.

878
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,360
The number one pre-show is really

879
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,720
more like the number one pre-show is plural.

880
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,160
And it's the riser resistance.

881
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:51,520
You could take any of those three pre-shows that

882
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,200
happened during this ride.

883
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,440
And you could say that that's the best pre-show in all

884
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:58,880
of Walt Disney World.

885
00:32:58,880 --> 00:32:59,920
And it's got three.

886
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:01,920
And they're all fantastic.

887
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:07,560
You've got Hologram Ray and a BB-8 amatronic in the first scene.

888
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,800
Then you get put on a spaceship, but it's still not

889
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,000
the ride somehow.

890
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,800
And you've got an amatronic beck.

891
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,680
And you're on this transport ship.

892
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:17,800
And it gets pulled in.

893
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,960
You're like actually moving in a pre-show, which

894
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,040
doesn't ever happen.

895
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,400
And the videos are different if you're looking backwards

896
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,040
or if you're looking forward because you're looking

897
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:27,840
at the window of the ship.

898
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,520
Being transported.

899
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:34,880
And then they pull you into that holding cell pit thing.

900
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,320
And there's another pre-show.

901
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,760
And there's a cool escape thing where they laser blast you

902
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,960
out of the prison cell.

903
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,600
And there's a scene where you get to watch Kylo Ren.

904
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,440
And he uses your force in the room shakes.

905
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,640
And it's all over.

906
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:52,600
I forgot about that part.

907
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,440
A lot of good.

908
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:55,960
Also a lot of good.

909
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,680
Even in the pre-show rooms, a lot of good cast member

910
00:33:58,680 --> 00:33:59,640
interaction.

911
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:00,000
Yeah.

912
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:00,500
Yeah.

913
00:34:00,500 --> 00:34:04,480
And the real cast from Star Wars.

914
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:09,040
They didn't hire sound-alikes or they didn't purposefully do.

915
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,160
No, this is the cast of Star Wars.

916
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:12,000
These are your friends.

917
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,640
This is Rey and BB-8.

918
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,800
The real, it's the real Rey.

919
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,960
They hired Daisy Ripley to do this.

920
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,120
They hired John Boyega.

921
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,640
They hired, what's Poe's name?

922
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:26,760
Oschrizek.

923
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,040
They hired Oschrizek.

924
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:33,480
That says a lot about how they feel about the ride.

925
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,720
And it shows and it pays off and sets the story of the ride.

926
00:34:36,720 --> 00:34:37,440
I mean, you're talking about.

927
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,920
This show is your 15 minutes into the pre-show

928
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,480
before you even start the ride.

929
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:43,600
Yeah.

930
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:47,800
Yeah, there's multiple pre-shows that tell multiple layers

931
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:53,080
of story that show how you could have went from being just

932
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,760
a resistance sympathizer to a prisoner of war.

933
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,000
Like, it's so good.

934
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,000
So good.

935
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:00,640
Yeah.

936
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,200
I think the best ride in Disney World

937
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:06,200
has the best pre-shows of all the rides.

938
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:07,240
I think so too.

939
00:35:07,240 --> 00:35:11,880
I think if you look at the top three of our list

940
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:17,680
and then mirror that to what I think the top three or five

941
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,200
rides are, I think it may be the same.

942
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,360
And some of the other ones on this list

943
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,440
are some of my very favorite rides.

944
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,600
Well, and I also like that our top three

945
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,880
are three of the newer rides.

946
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:36,800
So this is a good way to show that Disney is taking

947
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,720
the aspect of storytelling seriously.

948
00:35:39,720 --> 00:35:43,720
And you can tell that by their commitment to pre-shows

949
00:35:43,720 --> 00:35:45,640
and how good they are.

950
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:46,440
No, definitely.

951
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,720
I think that it's commendable that they're not just

952
00:35:49,720 --> 00:35:52,280
like phoning it in for cash grab.

953
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,960
They know how important it is for the rides to be good.

954
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:55,560
Yeah.

955
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:56,640
Yeah.

956
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:57,600
All right.

957
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,720
Well, those are our top eight pre-shows.

958
00:36:01,720 --> 00:36:04,280
We have number eight as Rock and Roller Coaster,

959
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,400
number seven as Flight of Passage,

960
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:11,600
number six Tower of Terror, number five Smugglers Run,

961
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,600
number four the Haunted Mansion,

962
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,520
number three Guardians of the Galaxy,

963
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,160
number two Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway,

964
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,920
and number one, no surprise here,

965
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,440
Surprise of the Resistance.

966
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,800

Yes.

970
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:35,600
Yeah.

971
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,440
Did we, if we missed one, I don't think we did.

972
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:39,800
I think we did a good job on this one.

973
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,000
I think this is a very good job.

974
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:45,840
I also will defend it when we have to make our corrections.

975
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,240
Well, just like the Qs had a lot of corrections

976
00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:50,040
or a lot of feedback, I bet you this one

977
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:51,880
has a lot of feedback too.

978
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,000
I'm looking forward to it.

979
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,600
I want to have that discussion.

980
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:55,040
Yeah.

981
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,160
Yeah.

982
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,160
OK, guys, you got time for a game?

983
00:36:59,160 --> 00:36:59,840
No.

984
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:00,800
Got to go.

985
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,200
8.30 on a Tuesday?

986
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:04,760
No.

987
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:05,680
I got to get going.

988
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:06,000
OK.

989
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,040
Well, then Sean, why don't you take us home?

990
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,040

You are breaking union rules.

999
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,040
Our insurance doesn't cover any of this.

1000
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,560
And you are potentially infringing on Warner Brothers

1001
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:32,880
intellectual property.

1002
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:34,040
Shut this down.

1003
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:37,520
I want a different answer.

1004
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:42,040
