The Amusement Industry Blog
Hey guys, I’m trying to get a podcast going again at a consistent pace. So, in order to make this happen, I’ve created a solo newscast where I give you the run down on the news of the week as well as some of my insight. It’s quick, it’s informative, and I really think you’ll enjoy it. The editing is a little rough, but as time progresses I am confident that my skill level will increase.
So please, let me know what you think. Your feedback is imperative for this to …
In a discussion on the Amusement Insider forum it was speculated that the “B Side” (I believe that is the right side) of Superman: The Escape was being cannibalized for parts for the “A Side”.
