The Lowdown on the Plus-up - A Theme Park Podcast
Kelly McCubbin and Peter Overstreet take on all aspects of theme parks - Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, Six Flags - discussing them in historical context and then finding ways, to quote Walt Disney, to "plus them up!"
No considerations of safety, practicality or economic viability even remotely entertained!

The Lowdown on the Plus-up - A Theme Park Podcast
They Died with their Boots On - The History and Future of the Disney Shooting Galleries
When we pick up a fake gun and shoot it at a fantastical electric target, what are we trying to become? What do we think Frontierland is? Who is Paul MacGlashan and how did the guy that designed Disney's shooting galleries help win WWII?
And, most importantly, How did Kelly and Pete find themselves so mired in the kind of Disney current affair news that they usually avoid like the plague?
It's the history of SHOOTIN' STUFF at Disney Theme parks!
(Also, a link to that Frontierland article we keep talking about, https://boardwalktimes.net/we-need-to-talk-about-frontierland-ad54b31a1fe1 .)
