On this special bonus episode of **Remy’s Roundtable: The Florida Theme Park Podcast**, Remy catches up with fan-favorite guest Ryan — also known as *Mags* or *The Sophisticated Gentleman*. Ryan talks about how much he’s missed being part of the Roundtable and why he was excited to jump back in for a late-night bonus hangout.

Before the games begin, the two take a moment to say goodbye to a true Hollywood Studios icon — Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster — and reflect on its legacy in Walt Disney World history.

Then the challenge begins. Remy puts Ryan to the test with a triple round of games: **Guess This Disney Attraction**, **Finish the Disney Song Lyrics**, and **Guess This Disney Character**. Does Ryan still have his Disney knowledge, or has time away from the table made him rusty?

Find out how he performs in this laid-back, game-filled bonus episode — only on **Remy’s Roundtable: The Florida Theme Park Podcast.

This week on *Remy’s Roundtable*, Remy is joined by Doc, Nicole, and a very special guest — Remy’s best friend (basically family), Ben Chase. And Ben didn’t just stop by to hang out… he came for a very specific reason.

In **The Latest Theme Park Updates**, the crew breaks down Florida, saying goodbye to the yellow vehicle registration stickers, fresh construction progress at Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin as new concrete is poured, and a sweet replacement arriving at Disney Springs — milkshakes taking over the former Sprinkles Cupcakes location.

Then it’s time for **Ride of the Week**, and the spotlight shines on *Big Thunder Mountain*. Ben shares behind-the-scenes stories from his days working the attraction as a Disney cast member, giving a real insider perspective on the wildest ride in the wilderness.

Nicole brings the science in **Getting Nerdy with Nicole**, diving into the famous theme park color trick known as *Go Away Green* — the psychology and visual science Disney uses to make objects practically disappear in plain sight.

Finally, Mike wraps things up in **Mike’s Munchies**, reviewing Universal’s *Cafe La Bamba*. How much damage did the meal do to his wallet? You’ll have to listen to find out.

Stories, secrets, science, food, and a little nostalgia — all on this episode of *Remy’s Roundtable: The Florida Theme Park Podcast*.

On this episode of the show, Remy sits down for a one-on-one conversation with local bass player, producer, and engineer **Jeremy Birdsall**. The two catch up and dive deep into music talk — from tone and groove to the bass legends that shaped their listening habits. Jeremy shares his personal story about how he ended up choosing the bass as his instrument, what drew him to the low end, and the players who influenced his style and approach to playing.

As the conversation unfolds, they swap favorite bassists, discuss musical inspirations, and talk about the mindset behind supporting the band versus standing out in the mix. Near the end of the episode, Remy puts Jeremy to the test with the fan-favorite game **“Guess This Bass Player,”** challenging his ear and music knowledge.

Mike and Ryan step into the trivia arena armed with confidence and questionable logic as Remy fires off hints one by one. Can they connect the dots before the final clue drops?

On this episode of Remy’s Roundtable: The Florida Theme Park Podcast, we are taking a stroll down Main Street, U.S.A., to the corner where the smell of fresh hot dogs meets the unmistakable sound of ragtime rhythms. Your host, Remy, sits down for an in-depth conversation with the incredibly talented Jerimie Michael, a man who has become a staple of the Magic Kingdom atmosphere. Since 2018, Jerimie has been manning the keys at Casey’s Corner, entertaining thousands of guests with his lightning-fast fingers and infectious energy. In this sit-down, we go beyond the performance to learn about the man behind the upright piano and what it takes to perform in the busiest theme park in the world.

The conversation hits a high note as Jerimie pulls back the curtain on his musical journey, sharing the personal stories of what first drew him to the piano. He opens up about his early inspirations and the iconic piano players who shaped his technique and passion for the instrument. From his childhood influences to the professional milestones that led him to a coveted spot on Main Street, Jerimie offers a unique look at the discipline and soul required to master the craft of live performance. Whether you are a fellow musician or just a fan of the Disney magic, hearing about his artistic evolution provides a brand-new appreciation for every note played outside the dugout.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Florida theme park podcast without some "inside baseball" on the rest of the Walt Disney World Resort. Jerimie reveals why his heart belongs to the World Showcase during a specific time of year, naming the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts—affectionately known by fans as "FART"—as his absolute favorite event. We dive into why the fusion of visual, culinary, and performing arts resonates so deeply with him. This episode is a celebration of the talent that makes the parks feel like home, so pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, and join us for this melodic journey through the life of a Magic Kingdom performer.

Welcome back to another high-energy session of **Remy’s Roundtable: The Florida Theme Park Podcast**. On this episode, the studio is feeling a bit like a reunion. Joining your hosts, **Remy** and **Mike**, is a very special guest: **Doc**, an old colleague of Remy’s from back in their days working the front lines at Universal’s **Rip Ride Rockit**. Before we dive into the weeds of the industry, Mike and Doc kick things off with some old-fashioned **baseball** talk. It’s a quick trip to the diamond to discuss the latest stats and standings before we shift our focus back to the iron rails and animatronics of Central Florida.

Once the pre-show chatter settles, we jump straight into the heavy hitters with our latest theme park updates. The biggest question on everyone’s mind involves the fate of the **Lost Continent** at Universal’s Islands of Adventure. With rumors swirling faster than ever, we discuss whether this mythical land is finally going away for good to make way for the world of **Pokémon**. We analyze what a "Pikachu takeover" would look like and if the park is ready to trade in its ancient ruins for Poké Balls.

The conversation then shifts from monsters to motors. Universal Studios has been teasing its massive **Fast and the Furious roller coaster**, and with an official opening window set for **2027**, the hype is reaching a fever pitch. However, there’s one hurdle left: getting Remy on board. We spend some time debating the coaster’s layout and intensity, trying to see if Mike and Doc can finally convince a hesitant Remy to commit to riding this high-speed drifting machine when it makes its grand debut next year.

No episode of Remy’s Roundtable would be complete without a trip to the parks themselves. Mike recently treated the crew to a meal at the reimagined **Circus McGurcus Cafe Stoo-pendous** at Seuss Landing. We dive into a full review of the **Seuss-themed restaurant**, discussing the whimsical atmosphere, the colorful menu updates, and whether the experience lives up to the Dr. Seuss legacy. It’s a deep dive into "Who-hash," and circus treats that you won’t want to miss.

To wrap up the program, Remy takes center stage for his signature segment, **Ride of the Week**. This time, it’s a bittersweet tribute to an opening day classic over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. We are looking back at **Dinosaur**, the high-stakes prehistoric adventure originally known as **Countdown to Extinction**. As the attraction nears its permanent closure, we discuss its history, its scares, and why it remains such a polarizing piece of theme park history. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this jam-packed episode of **Remy’s Roundtable
