Scottye goes for a skewed Grand Californian vibe and Jim builds a Stanford Prison. Talk about being off-brand. 36:40 yes This week it's all about giving our theme park a hotel for guests to sleep their money away in. What started out as something Jim wasn't even concerned about quickly went totally sideways, proving not every idea he has ever come up with is a good one. While Scottye builds an immersive asylum full of paid actors, Jim decides what his theme park experience really needs is some good old class warfare and overt power struggles. This was not intentional. Also, duct tape toilets, just because. This week it's all about giving our theme park a hotel for guests to sleep their money away in.

Scottye wants you to join the Alliance, and Jim just wants you to have a nice nap and battle for your freedom. 34:43 yes This week, we take all the Not-So-Scary and Horror Night hullaballoo and try to give Apex its very own super special Halloween event for kids and parents with tons of money of all ages. Scottye doesn't much prepare but still mainly outdoes Jim, who desperately wants people to feel like they are getting their money's worth out of a (expletive-deleted) nine hour event that will surely not make any children (or park employees) cranky whatsoever.

Eat it, Disney! 38:04 yes This week, it's all about that consumerism and a little bit of fun as Jim and Scottye do their best to give APEX a gift show themed attraction. While Jim sets out to reinvent the entirety of Apex's theme, at least a little, Scottye in turn uses the power of the multiple choice questionnaire to put everyone in their place whether they like it or not. In the end, both do remarkable similar things and both go trackless and, eventually, get their park visitors to open their wallets and dump them into our coffers, which is really all any theme park has as a goal.

It's something that draws you to a location in a theme park. Think of Cinderella Castle, or the Tower of Terror. They beckon you to a place with their grandeur or their other adjective I can't think of right now. Scottye and Jim have weenies to share with you, and yes we absolutely know how that sounds when spoken out loud. In this episode, a keystone villain is introduced, a potential epic hero is created, and both hosts slam multiple theme park attractions together in the bizarre mating ritual known as "almost no good ideas". Also, bunny ran away. BUNNY! What's a weenie? It's something that draws you to a location in a theme park. Think of Cinderella Castle, or the Tower of Terror.
