From Arthur Levine, your Guide to Theme Parks
A few weeks back, I had the opportunity to visit Aulani, Disney's posh new resort on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. My coverage continues with a video overview that includes comments from Disney Imagineer (and brand-spanking-new Themed Entertainment Association award winner)! Joe Rohde.

Also, learn how you can listen to the debut of the "Seasoned Pros List Show."


Take a Peek at Disney's Hawaiian Getaway
There aren't any castles, yo-hoing pirates, grim grinning ghosts, or coasters bound for space at Aulani. But there is a high-end hotel, stunning beach, odes to Hawaii and its people, and plenty of whimsy. It's a bold and winning departure for Disney. Get a glimpse of the park-free resort in a new Aulani video I posted.

Coaster Geek-A-Palooza

Do you love coasters? Since you subscribe to my newsletter, chances are you have a major crush on thrill machines and their barely controlled chaos on wheels. I know I do. And so do my coaster nerd journalist buddies, Doug Barnes of The Season Pass Podcast and Joel Bullock, aka The Coaster Critic. The three of us have joined forces to present the Seasoned Pros List Show, a recurring feature that will occasionally run in place of The Season Pass (which is a wonderful podcast and required listening for park fans). We will be presenting, defending, debating, and otherwise geeking out as we present our theme park top 10 lists. The first podcast installment, which features the top 10 best steel coasters in North America, is now live. Coaster geek extraordinaire Robb Alvey of Theme Park Review joins the Pros trio to weigh in with his top picks. Listen in to the debut of the Seasoned Pros List Show.
