Join us for episode 212 of the Theme Park Trader podcast!
This week we travel back a few weeks to when Ryan put out a Tweet complaining about the poor storytelling and theming in many of the theme parks here in the UK. We chat through that Tweet in more detail and read out some of your responses.
We also use the episode to chat about Bob Chapek being promoted to the CEO of the Walt Disney Company, the potential problem with Disney+ and the sinking of a Jungle Cruise boat.

This week we have a fantastic listener question from Ash who has asked us:
