ChUrRoSaReTaStYLove it so much🤣♥️These guys are so funny and nerdy!!! Just what I came for lol. I had sort of a surreal experience when I listened to the Ghostrider episode because I was actually right next to the park!! I got to watch the trains go while hearing about mid course break runs and ejector air time🤣🤣🤣 keep up the good work Ryan and Byron!! (Also just got into Get Scared, and I say Boogara all the way💯) The guests are also wonderful and I look forward to every episode!!
-
Sleepy Apple PodcastsLove this podcast!My favorite podcast ever! I am so appreciative of Ryan and Byron for creating this masterpiece. I always listen when a new episode comes out and I am so grateful for this podcast as it was the gateway for me to take my love of roller coasters and theme parks higher. And if yall read this I hope that you would go to Six Flags America before it closes and do an episode on it. It is bad but I think a more reflectionary and somber episode would be appreciated with the mourners of this very regional coaster park. Love yall and ur podcast! God bless!
-
PUMPKINNN44Simply one of the best! Must watch for new and experienced theme park sicko’sIf you love theme parks or are new to them. This is a great way to enhance the joy they bring and allow a deeper experience into history and understanding them.
-
Banshee513Great PodcastYou should head to Kings Island and give those a try.
-
corrynnaWorld Class PodcastBeen here since Saddest Podcast On Earth! Truly a podcast I look forward to each and every week. Myself and my partner use the rating system each time we go on a ride ourselves. The FYA rubric has become a lifestyle. Keep it up boys!
-
harpolitoThe best!Been listening since day one and I can’t get enough! Ryan and Byron are iconic and I want to be their friend.
-
Drew29000ftI’m hookedSuch a good show Tristen to when you can’t make it to the parks!
-
Mb06006Amazing podcastAs a coaster enthusiast myself, I can relate with this podcast. It is essentially their speaking my mind on these coasters, my only judgment is that could you do some challenge or game type podcast
-
camp_holadiosLove itThis show is the best of the best and it’s really helpful to people with zero attraction knowledge
-
kiwi's grampsGreat stuffReally enjoy listening while I work. I’m on a crane all day and time drags. Soarin’ is the greatest. Keep the entertainment coming. Thanks
-
eholnopeI adore this showRyan 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.
-
JuicySclooseDebatelandPod 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.
-
ashelby96I love EVERYTHING about this podcastI’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!
-
Blythe C.The bestI 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.
-
Toy Soldier MikeBoats are funI 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?
-
Blue_TronWOW !!Fantastic podcast !!
-
ZenOfThunderBest Structured Theme Park PodcastEasily 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
-
suzys25Perfect theme park podcastI could listen to them talk all day everyday. Such a good theme park podcast!
-
BekCBzNot for Little APs but great overallI 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!
-
Hawkward HawkinsShaq ApprovedJust 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!
-
Jordan SwannA World Class PodcastI genuinely enjoy listening to every episode. This show makes my nerdy theme park loving heart so happy.
-
Appmaster248?!Great stuffI 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.
-
Leahca85my favorite podcast!I literally wish they released a three hour episode every day
-
710nexusGood content but way to many adsShow 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
-
w0rmloverprefer podcast the ridejust feels like rehashing already trodden territory
-
MattBartyTheme Park GreatnessRyan 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.
-
7775426Very amusingSuch a funny and interesting podcast going in depth on the best rides
-
certainlighta treatwhenever the theme song comes in i get a brain blast of serotonin

-

-
zoe.rosieWorld ClassFavorite 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.
-
P-sychiatristA World Class PodcastFor 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...
-
YontieI’m a fanOne of my favorite weekly podcasts. I always look forward to it. The tiki room decision needs to be appealed though :)
-
GingerBass99The Best Theme Park PodcastFor 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!
-
LuvalfBest podcast ever!!!!!Please have Drew Gooden on as a guest
-
IceCold3kMakes me want to go to these parks!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!
-
Gloom DivisionPassed the world class test!This is my favorite podcast to listen to
-
parejedaWorld Class!This podcast is truly world class!
-
Randi9579Thoroughly enjoyableWhile 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.
-
Josephina84A true gemMy 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!
-
CaitBee123For the true theme park sickosRyan 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?
-
Slurpptgreat deep diveslove the in depth reviews of attractions. would love some more regional park stuff
-
megcre19Can’t wait to hear moreI 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!
-
Swordpower12A holy grail! Truly!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
-
KellyLeigh71Seriously, just listen to it.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.
-
mammothfan82New favorite podcastFound 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!
-
fuzzonerThe best amusement park podcast ever!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!!!
