Scottland has a ball(s). 30:12 yes This week, after discussing possible updates to Epcot's Spaceship Earth, we finish up the third season by nailing down final layouts for Versus, featuring Scottland on the left and JimCity on the right. Jim starts things off by having trouble explaining something he should be good at by now and Scottye follows it up with a confusing romp around promenades that may or may not be shaped like the male anatomy as drawn by MC Escher.

]]> Challenge: Wide Open Spaces (Random Name Attractions) http://www.opposite-attractions.com/44 dd0a80ba-172a-4c03-80ad-bb01f21110e3 Mon, 27 Aug 2018 02:00:00 -0400 Jim Murphy & Scottye Moore full 3 Jim Murphy & Scottye Moore Scottye plays the scales. Jim plays brass. 32:22 yes This week, after some bird-as-janitor watching somewhere in France, we get handed some random names with which to create attractions and neither of us really follows the rules. First up, Jim takes the name given to him last week and throws it out the window, instead finding a new random name - The Brass Knuckle, and decides on hiring a steampunk security gaurd to fill the name and, predictably, go haywire in order to be shut down by guests. Meanwhile, Scottye takes his name and throws it out a separate but mostly similar window and then...doesn't really give his attraction a name. THE GUESTS DECIDE! Also, guests also decide which of five attractions they get to experience in this massive show building by just how drunk they are! Featuring everything from KISS to kaiju and all the way down to happy little trees (and ZZZZs), this place has everything a discerning drinker might want. Remember to tune in next week for our season finale where we both try to lay out our parks into something cohesive and beautiful!
