The Off-Season is here and that means the local parks are closed to most of us (except for you lucky ones in Florida and California!) To help combat the "Off-Season Blues," Mike and EB have some ideas that will tide you over until the parks open again in March. During our Quick Hits segment, the guys talk about several of this week's most interesting stories in the amusement industry, including: What will be inside "Marvel Land" at Disney California Adventure?
