Tom and Josh couldn't resist getting back together behind some microphones (and, regrettably, in front of a camera) to talk about Universal's UK theme park project.

Fresh off an impromptu trip to Universal Orlando, Tom drags Josh back to the microphones to record a Park Rush podcast episode.... remember those?

Listen back to some of the highlights from the Park Rush podcast in 2023.

What a bombshell to see out 2023! We discuss this week's news Universal is looking at building a theme park in the UK, including its potential location, what kind of park it would be, possible rides, and what its arrival would mean for our theme park industry.

Josh returns to get the lowdown from Tom's recent Epcot trip, including his first experience of Cosmic Rewind and the new Moana walkthrough attraction.

Tom is joined by his sister to talk about our multiple days at Hollywood Studios during our recent Florida trip, covering everything from the majesty of Galaxy's Edge to our first ever experience of nighttime spectacular Fantasmic!

We take a break from our Florida theme park trip reports to talk about our time at the Disney100 exhibition at London's ExCel.

Tom takes Josh through his recent trip to Islands Of Adventure, which for his money now has three of the very best rollercoasters in Florida...

The episode art this week is from Jurassic Park's raptor encounter, which we totally failed to actually mention on the show!

Normal service resumes (for a week at least) as Tom and Josh reunite to talk about Park Rush's recent Universal Studios Florida trip.

It's an epic episode this week as Tom's mum and sister recount three packed Magic Kingdom days during our recent trip to Florida.

From tickets and Genie passes to ride strategies and food picks, there's plenty of ground to cover (and our step counts prove it).

Tom's mum has got a taste for podcasting and is back for more, this time with debutant Fleabag/Becky in tow to talk about our trip to Animal Kingdom.

Tom and his mum return to talk through our family's second night at Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando.

This part covers another five houses, three of the scare zones, and the live dance show!

Tom is joined by his mum to talk through our family's first ever Halloween Horror Nights experience.

This episode covers the booking process, arrival tips, five of this year's houses, two scare zones, Death Eaters in Diagon Alley, merchandise, and some of the food!

Tom is back from three weeks of Florida theme parking and offers some of his main takeaways from Epcot, Universal, Islands of Adventure, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios before we dive into a run of trip report episodes over the coming months. We also chat about a big announcement for UK theme park fans!

We continue to celebrate the five year anniversary of Park Rush all month long and this week we're releasing cold cuts to the masses! Cold Cuts was a short-running series over on our now defunct Patreon where you got behind the scenes snippets into our theme park-addled brains - now it’s all wrapped up into one episode for you all to hear (we apologise)! Tom is back from his theme park travels next week so normal service will resume then!

Park Rush is turning five years old next month and to celebrate we're going to bring it up every week until we do (just be grateful it’s not a full year like Disney do!). As Tom is still enjoying himself in the Florida parks, Josh takes us through the very first episode of the Park Rush podcast and compares the topics of yesteryear to watch actually happened. 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 Rush returns to Chessington to check out its impressive Jumanji expansion! It's also Tom's first visit since childhood, so plenty else to talk over too - including Vampire, Croc Drop, Grufflo, Kobra and more!,

We lead with a bear on the loose at the Magic Kingdom, and then look ahead to the closure of the Galactic Starcruiser and Frozen's potential arrival at Disneyland!

We blow through a raft of headlines from Destination D23, including Ahsoka coming to Star Tours; the next ride at Avengers Campus; and Indiana Jones making his way to Animal Kingdom!

Excited for our Chessington vlog? Set an reminder for the premiere or catch up here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA_715xrvzA.

Ahead of our trip to Chessington, we discuss the Battle Of The Bobs; Shanghai Disney's Zootopia land, SeaWorld's rent woes; and more!

Josh returns to talk about Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit's new track list, Epcot's imminent Moana attraction, and Disneyland's Haunted Mansion getting some love.

Jon Self returns to the podcast to talk through the highlights of this year's Epcot food festival (oh, the chocolate fondue!), and look ahead to some of what what we'll be able to fill our bellies with at Halloween Horror Nights.

Europa Park's next rollercoaster, Universal's newest ride in Florida, and what's to come at Epic Universe are all on the agenda this week.

The year has blessed us with a new theme park film to review, bringing Haunted Mansion back to the big screen for the first time in 20 years. You may wish they hadn't bothered.

This week we're talking the Busch Gardens cable car, getting our SeaWorld financial results mixed up, and dreaming about Japan.

There's unprecedented Kenergy on this week's show as we talk through Universal Orlando's full Halloween Horror Nights line-up, a unique new attraction coming to the Magic Kingdom, another meaningless update on The London Resort, and more!

From Universal's KidZone replacement to a Fast & Furious coaster, there's tonnes to talk about on this week's show - with a little help from AI...

It's finally time for a new theme park video game review: Park Beyond!

A never-before-heard recording from the Park Rush vault to tide you over until our Park Beyond review tomorrow...

Once the Threads talk is over, we're chatting Disney World crowds; the future of SeaWorld; rollercoaster cracks; getting stuck upside down; and more!

We just about squeeze a new episode into the end of the week after a trip to Scotland, with talk of Magic Kingdom's future; a new eatery laying the groundwork for Efteling's next ride, and more!

Lots of theme park news to sink our teeth into in this delayed episode of the Park Rush podcast; including theme park attendance figures for 2022, Uncharted's grand opening at PortAventura, The Last Of Us coming to Halloween Horror Nights, and more!

Tom gives Josh the lowdown on his trip to PortAventura.

And day two - https://twitter.com/ParkRushPodcast/status/1651965202647097344

There's a healthy dose of dystopian imagery on this week's show as we discuss strikes and protests at Disneyland Paris, and why Apple thinks we're all gonna want to slap expensive ski googles to our faces to watch a theme park parade. We've also got our first look at new Anna and Elsa animatronics for Hong Kong's version of Frozen Ever After, and a farewell to direct Eurostar travel from the UK to Europe's most popular park.

Tom enjoyed the new Little Mermaid film but there's no time to talk about life under the sea when Park Rush has managed to dig out a nugget of an update about the state of our dear friend The London Resort.

It's a week of mixed emotions as Disney announces the sudden closure of the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser, while SeaWorld Abu Dhabi opens to rave reviews and our tastebuds are tickled by the menu at Universal's incoming Minions cafe.

On this special Tuesday edition of the Park Rush podcast, Tom and Josh have plenty to talk about thanks to a stacked few days of theme park news. On the agenda this week are Chessington's new Jumanji land, Hong Kong Disneyland's upcoming Frozen attractions, Bob Iger's meeting with Emmanuel Macron, SeaWorld's upcoming stand-up rollercoaster, and the enduring legacy of Disney Infinity.

Tom gets Josh up to speed on his recent trip to Ferrari Land in Salou, Spain. This podcast wasn't given much of an edit job due to a stacked weekend - it was either a raw version or you wait a week, so you're getting it raw!

Tom is back from Salou to join Josh in discussing positive news for Universal theme parks, Disney's legal battle with Ron DeSantis, the latest on Nemesis's upgrade at Alton Towers, and more!

Tom is back with another hotel room debrief on his second and final day at PortAventura.

We've got trains, fires, and stand-up rollercoasters on this week's show - plus word of an impending theme park trip.

Josh returns to talk about news that Poseidon's Fury will be closing at Islands Of Adventure next month, new locations are coming to Star Tours at three of Disney's theme parks, and we have a final day for Splash Mountain at Disneyland (it's 30 May, we neglected to actually say the date on air).

As we were a day late with last week's episode, we're treating you to one a day early this time! Tom's joined by his Legoland companion Fleur (@fleurschepen/@fleurvdelft on Insta) to talk about their very grown-up day at the classic Windsor theme park, including some of the best rides, surprisingly good food, and navigating the UK's biggest Lego shop.

Esteemed theme park food blogger Pastor Jon and Shelby from Universal Orlando Vegans join the show to talk us through the best things you can put in your mouth at Universal Orlando's Mardi Gras celebration this year. And then we take a tour through the resort's two main theme parks for a breakdown of the top vegan options, which have come a long way in recent years, including new vegan pizza tots in Suess Landing!

This week we've got news of a pay rise for staff at Disney World, a new look at an Incredibles-themed real estate development in California, Ireland's favourite theme park reopens with a fresh name, and Europa Park teases its next coaster.

Tom reports back with some shocking anecdotes from a madcap day at Legoland, Disneyland has a new-look Mickey's Toontown, Toy Story Land finally has a restaurant to call its own, and Josh might owe his mum an apology.

Highlights from a big day of theme park action, including Disney's chief executive admitting prices have got too high; Universal's suite of new logos; and an impressive milestone for Efteling.

This week brought us a first trailer for the new Haunted Mansion film, an opening date for Chessington's Jumanji land, and a renewed desire to go to Legoland.

We return with your regularly scheduled Park Rush podcast (and the original intro theme) to bring news of France's fastest rollercoaster, try to wish a Disney theme park museum into existence, and shame the House of Mouse and Comcast over the paltry pay rises offered to their cast members.
