Scottye takes a spin. 34:55 yes This week, we begin with some discussions about Epcot's recent night time changes, and then segue into Scottye's new podcast-within-a-podcast Intoxications: Reflections Of Puke (I'm sure it's a working title), all about really bad times in the Happiest Place On Earth. That out of the way, we turn to giving our Epic Universe some gritty attractions based on other more famous attractions. First, Jim invites guests to visit the Big Apple on The Concrete Jungle Cruise, featuring minutes upon minutes of lame jokes and naked hobos. It's fun for the whole family! Then, Scottye heads back in time (???) as he joins Commandeer Buzz on a campaign to crush the evil Adolf Von Zurg and save the so-called "illegal" aliens from a life of internment. This seems perfect for the new vision of Tomorrowland. All that's missing is a gift shop. disney, disney world, universal studios, design, imagineering, engineering, architecture, epcot, illuminations, epcot forever, jungle cruise, buzz lightyear, space ranger spin This week, we begin with some discussions about Epcot's recent night time changes, and then segue into Scottye's new podcast-within-a-podcast Intoxications: Reflections Of Puke (I'm sure it's a working title), all about really bad times in the Happiest Place On Earth.

First, Scottye distills an entire vacation into a creepshow known as The Disna-Whirl, a madcap romp from the airport all the way to a (very expensive) in-park hotel. Meanwhile, Jim cheaps out on reasonably "good" attractions as he welcomes guests to The Central Florida Fair-O-Rama, a large pavillion featuring ferris wheels, bumper cars, slides, and even a cartoony log flume as (hopefully) free-of-copyright facsimiles of famous Disney and Universal attractions. The show then wraps up with a quick tangent into the Hall (and Shafts) of Presidents. disney, disney world, universal studios, design, imagineering, engineering, architecture, florida, america, dinorama, hall of presidents, epcot, illuminations This week, after a short discussion about the new EPCOT nighttime shows coming soon, we take FreeWorld to a hub of themed entertainment known as Florida!

Jim arrives from space. 35:48 yes This week, we create dueling night-time shows for our park to help our guests close out their magical days in style. First, Scottye weaves a tale known as The Story Of Scottland, a show with a 5-drink minimum and cannonfire. What could possibly go wrong? Meanwhile on the other side of the park, Jim more blatantly inflates his own ego in the style of the rock opera by way of the band Jimple Minds in his show Don't You Forget About Me, an incredibly faithful and one thousand percent true story of coming to this planet and growing up to build JimCity 2000.

Scottye isn't all that upset by any of it. 37:55 yes This week, it's all about the night time shows. Scottye and Jim spend some time mocking Universal's paltry attempt and both have varying opinions of Disney World's various outings. Scottye hates the rain, and Jim hates having to go to a theater, which makes his choice to use a theater for Apex's grand finale of a show a little suspect. Things turn into a real slobberknocker, however, and the main known as Craig (or maybe that's Greg, or something) Apex is born. This is a real turning point, folks.
