Scottye uses real fire. 34:21 yes This week, we talk all about the wonders of Dollywood and the unwonder that is Blazing Fury. Scottye gives everyone his own MST3K recap of the attraction before we try and repair it. Things go about as well as usual when fire and an 8 year old girl trying to steal your man are involved. There's also a quiz. Jim would write more for these notes, but he has encountered a slight RSI issue and isn't currently fond of typing.

Scottye visits seven circles. 33:01 yes This week, your honey-filled hosts tackle a redo of the maligned The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh. With the success of Tokyo's Pooh's Hunny Hunt, it seems only fitting that both of our attractions go as far away from being perfect specimens of trackless entertainment as possible. First, Jim clobbers a corner of Fantasyland to install a knockoff of an attraction a few hundred yards away as he invites guests to visit a Carousel Of Poohgress, featuring that brainy bear Pooh helping many of his Hundred Acre pals deal with their physicatric problems. Then, as if that wasn't bad enough, Scottye takes Pooh out of a nightmare and straight into Hell, as he must face judgment for his sins. Tigger, voiced in this attraction by the late Ed Wynn, tries to save Pooh, but finds everything has become quite a sticky situation. disney, disney world, universal studios, design, imagineering, engineering, architecture, winnie the pooh, dark ride, tigger, carousel of progress, fantasyland This week, your honey-filled hosts tackle a redo of the maligned The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh.

Jim wears a suit. 34:59 yes This week, we look at the big show-stopping attractions for each side of our new theme park. Jim, having done little preparation last week, gets more in-depth on his vision for his side of the park and its new showcase attraction The Golden Coaster, because when one is talking theme park history, it's hard to ignore how important the coaster is. The attraction also includes exhibits, ways to design your own coaster (think CyberSpace Mountain), and other fun surprises. Meanwhile, Scottye takes his guests on a tour of The Secrets Of The Unicorn. In this zero-drink minimum family-fun attraction (a phrase no one in the theme park business has probably ever typed before), guests travel to the cave of the mystical unicorn and help it wage war against Rat Fink, who is seemingly the mascot of this side of the park. Afterward, enter the requisite gift shop/requisite-for-this-park bar to try some Cave Water, which is apparently just a Blue Hawaiian but probably in some kind of souvenir container for an exorbitant price. This is a theme park after all. This week, we look at the big show-stopping attractions for each side of our new theme park.
