Jim saves a day off. 40:41 yes This week, we discuss our lost TMBG episode and then take a quiz about classical music and Disney, which wasn't exactly planned. Then, we set about making attractions for BPM involving famous movie songs. First up, Scottye brings to life The Great Movie Music Ride and hits all the right notes in a coaster-like cavalcade of screens and loud noises that even Universal Studios would be proud of. Then, Jim focuses on one particular film and has guests play God as they help a rambunctious teenager, his girlfriend, and an introvert in a hockey jersey have a good day in Chicago.

Jim says there can be only one. 37:02 yes This week, your hosts spend way too much time talking about Baby Yoda merch and laughing at Reddit and not near enough time trying to put sharp pointy objects into attractions for Epic Universe. However, Scottye does eventually get around to inviting guests into his Knives Land, which may have originally been planned for California Adventure before they settled on Superstar Limo. Then, Jim creates two rides in one as he creates and destroys Highlanders in an attraction that he didn't actually name in the episode but probably has something to do with a Quickening or at least Mr. Krabs. Future note: Please do not relieve yourself in the queue for Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railaway, no matter how funny you'll think it'll be posted on the internet later. disney, disney world, universal studios, design, imagineering, engineering, architecture, reddit, space mountain, peter pan's flight, bumper cars, knives out, great movie ride This week, your hosts spend way too much time talking about Baby Yoda merch and laughing at Reddit and not near enough time trying to put sharp pointy objects into attractions for Epic Universe.

Jim remakes the classics. 32:11 yes This week on our program, we quiz ourselves on the late, great Great Movie Ride and then set about trying to remaster it for generations to come (in our imaginations). First up, Scottye invites guests to experience The Great Bad Movie Ride, featuring everything you know and hate to love from the silver screen and the bargain bin at an indoor flea market. It's really tearing me apart. Then Jim decides to play around inside Disney's very own wheelhouse as he showcases The Great Remake Ride, featuring all your favorite live-action versions of Disney's animated canon, as well as some that don't yet exist, but probably will eventually. Sadly it's not exactly a shot-for-shot redo of the original attraction, which might hurt it at the box office. disney, disney world, universal studios, design, imagineering, engineering, architecture, great movie ride, hollywood studios, ed wood, mary poppins, the room This week on our program, we quiz ourselves on the late, great Great Movie Ride and then set about trying to remaster it for generations to come (in our imaginations).

Scottye travels through the movies. 33:24 yes This week we head on up to New England and give FreeWorld some Massachusetts flavor. After a short discussion of naming babies after princesses and talking cars, Jim invites guests to visit the Massachusetts Institute Of Terror where some enterprising students may or may not have invented time travel and shamelessly ripping off Disney.
