Jim has a ball. 38:33 yes <p>This week, it's all about guitars and wizards BAY-BEE! We take a quiz to determine whether or not we are special wizard boys and then get into our attractions. First up, Scottye invites guests down the river on <em><strong>Robert Johnson's Bayou Cruise</strong></em>, a boat ride that makes Trader Sam look like a f'n chump with no sense of danger. Then, Jim heads deep into the Wasteland of JimCity to bring forth the 1970s as guests dive into <em><strong>Pinball Wizard</strong></em>, a trackless musical bit of a mayhem (mostly) in the dark. As it turns out, Jim does not have anything resembling a supple wrist. </p> disney, disney world, universal studios, design, imagineering, engineering, architecture, animal kingdom, harry potter, the who, robert johnson, POTC, music, jazz, pinball This week, it's all about guitars and wizards BAY-BEE!

Scottye feels like Bob Ross. 35:48 yes <p>This week, after a penultimate quiz about our personalities, we set off to repair the 4-D antstravaganza (not sorry) beneath the Tree Of Life of Disney's Animal Kingdom Of Disney. Jim sticks with a talent show, of sorts, and replaces the bugs with Rescue Rangers and a rather annoyed waterfowl. Then, Scottye settles us down for a relaxing 45 minute (at least) trip into <strong><em>It's Tough To Be At Animal Kingdom</em></strong>, an ASMR journey away from the Joe Rohde's heat nightmare and into something more calming and air-conditioned. You can keep your punk-ass giraffes.
