TRANSCRIPT:

Welcome to Attraction Checklist.

This episode we head to Disney California Adventure Park to ride Luigi's Honkin' Haul-O-Ween.

The Disneyland Resort website describes this attraction by saying: Celebrate Luigi’s favorite holiday at the honkin’est dance party in Radiator Screams!

Guests must be 32” or taller to ride this attraction and the Thrill Level calls it a Thrill Ride that is Loud with Spinning.

Before we join Luigi and Guido for some spooky fun, here are five fast facts about Luigi's Honkin' Haul-O-Ween

1. Starting in 2017, Cars Land at Disney California Adventure got a spooky makeover for the Halloween Season. Radiator Springs becomes Radiator Screams. Several of the attractions got a holiday overlay including Luigi's Rollickin Roadsters which becomes Luigi's Honkin' Haul-O-Ween.

2. Luigi’s Casa Della Tires gets a halloween makeover including the leaning tower of tires which sports hubcaps and treads that look like eyes and mouths.

3. Despite the overlay, the attraction retains it’s ride time of approximately 2 minutes.

4. As of this episode’s audio recording which was done in 2023, one of five different songs played while the cards were in motion. These are all parodies of traditional Italian songs given a spooky edge. They include: Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween, Luigi the Hero, Haul-O-Ween Italiano, Chop Shop of Carsoli and Terror-Antella.

5. Disney released all the songs from the attraction in 2018 on an album called: Happy Haul-O-Ween from Cars Land: Spooky Songs From Mater and Luigi. This album is available on most music streaming platforms.

Let’s ride Luigi's Honkin' Haul-O-Ween. John B. deHaas is along for the fun and after we ride we’ll give you our thoughts on this attraction. This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones put them on now as we experience Luigi's Honkin' Haul-O-Ween at Disney California Adventure.

Before we head to the bayou, here are five fast facts about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Disneyland.

One of the newest attractions at Walt Disney World’s EPCOT is Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana. Join us as we walk through this attraction for the first time on this episode of Attraction Checklist.

Attraction audio recorded on June 2, 2024.

TRANSCRIPT:

Welcome to Attraction Checklist.

This episode we head to Epcot to experience Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana.

The Walt Disney World website describes this attraction by saying: Explore the wonders of water along a lush trail that’s fun for all ages—based on the Disney animated film Moana.

There are no age or height requirements for this walk through attraction.

Before we play with water, here are five fast facts about Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana.

1. Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana, was originally slated to open in 2021 as part of Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary. The opening was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the attraction officially opened on October 16, 2023.

2. Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana is located in the World Nature neighborhood of Epcot near The Seas with Nemo and Friends.

3. Guests can take two paths as they explore Journey of Water. Those who’d prefer not to get wet can take the dry path while those interested in interacting with the water can take the wet path.

4. Journey of Water keeps the original spirit of EPCOT alive as it teaches guests about the global water cycle and follows the journey of water from the sky to the sea and back again.

5. Several characters from the film Moana are hidden throughout the attraction, both on land and in the water. The centerpiece of the attraction is not hidden at all and that is the 15 foot high sculpture of Te Fiti which is comprised of over 3000 pieces of foliage.

Let’s go walk through Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana. John B. deHaas is along for the journey and after we walk through we’ll give you our thoughts on this attraction. This is a binaural recordings so if you have headphone put them on now as we experience Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana at Walt Disney World’s EPCOT.
