We covered such topics as an Indiana Jones land, Universal patents, Shamu, and The London Resort. All these topics keep popping up but where were they then and where are they now?

Park Rush148: Capitalism At Its FinestTom and Josh sink their teeth into the abundance of news about - and reaction to - Disney Genie and what it means for trips to Disney's US theme parks moving forward. Will it really mean less time queuing? Are the prices reasonable? Can you talk to it like Siri? And why does everything have to be named like a streaming service now?

Park Rush147: Make The Society StopFrom the Black Widow lawsuit to the introduction of Premier Access at Disneyland Paris, this week sees plenty of discussion about Disney's recent PR own goals and what they say about the trajectory of the company under former theme parks honcho Bob Chapek. We also talk about some exciting new rides opening at two of Germany's most popular theme parks, and much more. And once again, there are some slight oddities going on here with Tom's audio, which we believe to be a result of the new recording setup in the studio. We are hoping things will be back...

Park Rush146: Jungle Cruise: A Theme Park Film ReviewIt's back! After something like two years, our theme park film review series returns thanks to the release of Jungle Cruise. Spoilers ahoy as we dive deep into the story and give our thoughts on Disney's latest bid to bring one of their most famous attractions to the big screen (and the small one for most of us, it turns out). Apologies for the slightly 'off' audio with Tom's microphone, as we're not completely sure it was connected properly. We're still getting used to being back in the studio!

Park Rush142: Fillet Steak & Emma StoneTom's been pinged by the NHS COVID-19 app and is isolating, meaning that we are once again recording remotely and so our long-awaited studio return was tragically short-lived. On the 'plus side', we somehow manage to make a slow week of theme park news into an hour-plus podcast episode thanks to random wittering about coronavirus rules, Space Jam, sundaes, Emma Stone, and ticket prices.

Park Rush118: The One With The Broken AudioHey, everyone! Super sorry for this, but can't in good conscience recommend that you listen to this week's show because the audio quality is an absolute mess. Tom made a daft error during his recording, which made his track pretty unsalvageable, and working this weekend meant he had even less time than he would have liked to try and clean it up some more. So yeah, really sorry but it's a tough listen.
If you do stick with it for some reason, you can look forward to chat about The London Resort, Jungle Cruise, VelociCoaster, and more.

Apologies for the slightly robotic tinge to Josh's voice this week - Tom's attempts to remove some irritating echo created another problem entirely.

In lighter news, Universal has offered more exciting details about 2021's VelociCoaster at Islands Of Adventure. All that and more on this week's show!

Park Rush088: The Bourne Stuntacular Opens, Super Nintendo World Delayed, UK Lockdown Lifted, And More!An almighty cock-up during recording rather compromises the audio quality on Tom's end this week, but hopefully you can still garner some enjoyment from an episode packed with theme park news. We've got a report from the opening week of The Bourne Stuntacular at Universal Orlando, the latest on Walt Disney World's return, a delay for Super Nintendo World in Japan, and how we reckon the UK theme park scene will get on as the country's hospitality and tourism industry makes what some feel could be a premature return.
