Jay Stein at Universal Studios

In the second part of our story, we meet Jay Stein — the Michael Eisner of Universal Studios theme parks: the one man Eisner feared.

We’ll also discuss “Theatertronics” — Universal’s answer to… well, you know.

We also discuss Bill Tracy — the most prolific designer of dark rides of all time.

We hope this episode gives you as much of a Jay Bang as we got doing it!

Wait. Did that come out weird?
