This show is the best of the best and it’s really helpful to people with zero attraction knowledge

Really enjoy listening while I work. I’m on a crane all day and time drags. Soarin’ is the greatest. Keep the entertainment coming. Thanks

Ryan and Byron make a great team, and I love how much they love theme parks. You can tell this is a passion project for these guys.

Pod is extremely entertaining and has substance for people who want to know more niche aspects about the rides. I think if a ride goes into debateland, it should be determined by a final test of whether or not this attraction would pass if you had a few drinks beforehand. The “AA Ticket Attraction Test”. Also, please release Juicy Scluicy shirts.

I’ve been following FYA on YouTube for months and finally decided to follow here! It’s funny, heartfelt, and the banter between Ryan and Byron with their guests is everything I’ve ever wanted in a podcast. I look forward to every single week!

I love this podcast and I don’t even really care about theme parks. I just love hearing Ryan and Byron talk about the history and their experiences, it’s so fun.

I really thought Ryan was going to have the ferry across the lake at #1! Another fun and friendly discussion of things in water. Lily Belle, anyone?

Fantastic podcast !!

Easily the best theme park podcast with a structure. Learned as much from this podcast as watching Defunctland Might be my new favorite theme park podcast. Sorry PTR

I could listen to them talk all day everyday. Such a good theme park podcast!

I love this show. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because this is an adult only podcast in our family. And it’s not classified that way. I would love for less cussing so our little APs could enjoy it with us! But over all I love these guys and this podcast!

Just got off of Peter Pan’s Flight and all I could think, flying over majestic London, was “Wow, we’re two and a half Shaqs off the ground right now.” Thanks Ryan and Byron for continually teaching me new fun facts!

I genuinely enjoy listening to every episode. This show makes my nerdy theme park loving heart so happy.

I stumbled across this podcast / YouTube channel accidentally and I love it. The hosts are funny and very enjoyable. The reviews are great. It’s a 5/5 podcast for me and I’m listening to every older episode available. It’s a world class podcast. Also ride review recommendation; the hulk over at islands of adventure for a future episode.

I literally wish they released a three hour episode every day

Show is produced really well. The only problem that I have with it is that it is interrupted with ads every 10 to 15 minutes, so get ready to hit the 30 seconds button while you’re listening this

just feels like rehashing already trodden territory

Ryan and Byron put together a great show. They bring on a variety of guests and discuss rides across all sorts of parks. They have humor, facts, and the personal experiences to share. With each episode they improve their world class determination and reflect on past shows briefly. Worth a listen and is a nice part of the day.

Such a funny and interesting podcast going in depth on the best rides

whenever the theme song comes in i get a brain blast of serotonin

Such a great podcast that makes you appreciate the rides so much more. You laugh and learn while getting a list or rides you want to ride or wished you were able to ride

5 stars

My favorite theme park podcast and one of my top podcasts overall! I listen every week. Although I am partial to the universal rides. Can’t wait for some more Midwest parks. Need some cedar point (my home park) episodes !

The Best!

Favorite theme park podcast. I look forward to the new ep each week. Love the structure and flow and Ryan and Byron are a delightful hosting duo.

For any theme park sickos it's no question, this definitely helps me get through Tuesdays. As for normal folks... well hopefully it's at least in debate land...

One of my favorite weekly podcasts. I always look forward to it. The tiki room decision needs to be appealed though :)

For years, I’ve tried to find a theme park podcast that really got their teeth into the history behind the best and worst of Disney, Universal, and other theme park attractions. I’m so glad I found out about this podcast. Great job everyone and keep up the great work!

Please have Drew Gooden on as a guest

Love the way they talk about the rides and really makes me interested in going to them! Can’t wait to go to later this year!

This is my favorite podcast to listen to

This podcast is truly world class!

While watching Ryan on Buzzfeed, and finding out he loved Disney like me I always wanted him to do ghosts of Disneyland. Still haven’t gotten it, but this amazing podcast is a great trade off. I love listening to the joy that both hosts have for the rides they cover and I often share episodes with others.

My husband and I watch and listen together almost every week. Your vibe is top notch and the research is as well. Thank you for bringing this very specific brand of joy into the world!

Ryan and Byron show what dorks they are when the either gush about an attraction or brutally destroy it, sometimes with merit and sometimes they are just being picky. If you love Disney, Universal, Knott's, or Six Flags then you have your opinions on what is a “World Class Attraction” and you might disagree with some of their final outcomes but isn’t that part of the theme park community in general, who would that community be if we are not infighting about our opinions on the seats in the Tiki Room or virtual queues?

love the in depth reviews of attractions. would love some more regional park stuff

I could listen to Byron and Ryan talk about attractions for hours. And with this podcast, I have! The special guests are definitely a bonus. Can’t wait to hear what is to come!

There is so much care and time put into every single episode. For the unfamiliar to theme park enthusiasts, there is something to learn, and suddenly become the most entertaining person at your next theme park visit:) It’s an exciting time to share my enthusiasm for theme park rides with well spoken, funny, and insightful individuals ! The mix of guests always add an exciting twist. Keep em coming

Got in a very real argument with my husband because he watched an episode without me. If that isn’t a shining endorsement, I don’t know what is.

Found this podcast via YouTube when they had on Alicia Stela and now loving the podcast. It so fun to hear some of my favorite theme park podcasters breakdown and debate beloved attractions. Keep it coming!

I’ve been listening to podcasts since pandemic and heard a bunch of other podcast, but this one right here is top-tier top level top shelf caliber pod about roller coaster and theme rides! I’m on my second listen and even have the wife into it via YouTube! Amazing puns jokes and fun facts! You guys rock thank you!!!

I hope they continue making this podcast for a very long time.

There is always a moment in these episodes that makes me chuckle and you can’t help but smile. For an hour or so you get to take a break and think about your favorite amusement park rides and the excitement of your first time riding them!

They so clearly care and are really just passionate about theme parks, and it makes me so happy to see them and listen to them do this show. They are fantastic and I hope they will be on for years to come!

More offhand Disney pls

I love these guys so much I could listen to them all day talk about anything. Especially if you’re in a state where weed is legal, listening to Ryan’s voice while high is great

^see title

I love Watcher, and I love Amusement Parks… perfect mixture, and a must listen!

These guys are awesome! New content on the reg, Great guests, and they tell the stories of these rides and discuss them in a different way from the rest! Highly recommend for any theme park lover!

I only really jumped on this pod because of my love for Ryan and all things watcher but now I can’t imagine my days without it. My family weren’t theme park people growing up so I don’t have a deep connection to them which made me skeptical of whether I would enjoy this pod at first. I just adore hearing two long time friends talking about something they mutually love with people across the country that share that same passion. I now love hearing about all things theme parks and genuinely listen to this podcast almost every night before bed. I’ve rewatched/listened to eps so many times and they never get old. I can’t weigh in on whether the world class test holds merit but who even cares because it’s just so wholesome to listen to people discuss the things they love and wanting to share that with others!!! Sending so much love to Ryan and Byron and I hope this pod continues for many many weeks to come.
