Dooneyland 1.9 - Til Death Do Circus Part - Part Two
22/01/2019 Duración: 57minIt's just another typical day at Dooneyland - a huge wedding is about to go down, someone has tried to kill Miss Augusta Cline before 10am, employees and guests appear to be under some kind of magical spell, and a long-dead clown might be gearing up to terrorize the entire park. Like we said... typical. Chippy Fisher has learned that the silver-plated clown that once belonged to children's entertainer and Dooneyland alumnus - Jocko the Clown - has gone missing under mysterious circumstance. And by mysterious, of course, we mean it took control of the Harland Dooney museum's curator, exploded out of its glass case, and went flying out into the park. Now, all hands are on high alert as they attempt to learn more about who Jocko was, why he might be on the rampage, and how it all ties together with the upcoming nuptials of a high-powered record label executive. Fasten your seatbelts and keep your arms and head inside the ride at all times, folks, because the people on the Tunnel of Love ride aren't the only

15/01/2019 Duración: 01h05minWhen two Doonatics love each other very much, there is only ONE way to truly and ultimately profess such love - with a giant wedding at Dooneyland, of course! The waiting list for a coveted spot in the Happily Ever After Wedding Chapel rivals that of some organ donor lists and, honestly, it's not unheard of for someone to trade a kidney or liver to ensure that they can celebrate their nuptials at the park in the presence of friends, family, costumed characters and, perhaps, a demigod or two. And even though every wedding at Dooneyland is special, the one taking place at the park today is EXTRA special because the groom - a record executive - has caught the attention of Miss Augusta Cline. Unfortunately, that's not the only thing getting attention at the park. A figure from Harland Dooney's past has returned to the park, and his presence is having the oddest effect on its employees. Can our intrepid crew keep the wedding going smoothly, or will the mysterious visitor make them all look like bozos? Listen
