Jim ruins an oven. 31:27 yes This week, we continue OppAtt Theater by taking your ears on a whirlwind journey through the Haunted Mansion. There's even a bell. Then, we go forth into SITCOT to create attractions based on everyone's favorite show The Golden Girls. Scottye, hopped up on Tipsy Ducks In Love, somehow believes this show about four wise-cracking characters was also created by Eastman & Laird, leading to some crime-fighting shenanigans. Then, Jim tries to take the ladies at their word as he plays a Carousel Of Rashomon.

Then, we give SITCOT some attractions themed after Pee-Wee's Playhouse! The secret word for the day is 'lazy' on Jim's attraction, as he haunts up the playhouse and rides around in a chair. Meanwhile, Scottye sets his sights on a big adventure and an even bigger and more complicated coaster through the start of Pee-Wee's day.

Scottye uses a wedding dress. 32:37 yes This week, we discuss Bob Chapek and other things that should never be allowed in Disney Parks before giving our park SITCOT some attractions themed around the somehow still hit show Friends. No one told me life was going to be this way. First up, Jim invites guests to experience a live fire exercise known as The One Where We Kill Ross, wherein our sad sad boy has cloned himself and is hell bent on world domination. Only a bus and some guns can stop me. Then, Scottye takes guests into the apartment for The One Where We Learn The Truth About Ross, because F--- Ross is what we are saying. Things get rather dark at this point, and it has nothing to do with burning your breakfast. disney, disney world, universal studios, design, imagineering, engineering, architecture, sitcoms, friends, buzz lightyear, haunted mansion, ross geller, monica, rachel, joey, chandler, gunther This week, we discuss Bob Chapek and other things that should never be allowed in Disney Parks before giving our park SITCOT some attractions themed around the somehow still hit show Friends.

Scottye selects a trinket. 31:26 yes This week, we record well in advance thanks to Jim's upcoming vacation, leading Scottye to try to be INCREDIBLY SPOOKY for a November show. After reliving a terrifying scenario from his childhood, we set about giving our very own Epic Universe some randomized attractions! First up, Jim calls upon the (other) Patron Saint of the show, Guy Fieri, and a little bit of La Croix beverages to get guests wet and wild with Flavor Drowns, a slot machine-esque flume into various flavored waters at various levels of pressure. Then, Scottye sends guests into some sort of living quarters in a forest (or something) to end up in quite the haunted house escape room affair.

Jim kills some dolls. 32:01 yes This week, we discuss new signs, (hopefully) fake scripts, and do our best to give our very own Epic Universe some very spooktacular kiddie attractions. First up, Scottye invites kids of all ages to experience The Ride Where Everything Goes Wrong, a menagerie of animatronics from around the multiverse converging around a boat that somehow has wheels. It has to be technically possible, as we've seen it at Disney Springs! Then, Jim decides that it isn't such a small world that we can't do some Mary Blair murder and yeets those dolls squarely into the Haunted Mansion where they will forever be entangled in your nightmares. It doesn't so much have a name as it has a blood-curdling sound that fills your soul the moment you envision such a hellscape.

Jim ruins a family and Scottye commits simulated murder for fun. 34:22 yes This week, the challenge of building a spooky attraction tries to be answered.
