Jim works the brakes. 31:38 yes <p>This week, we discuss a harrowing (and supercharged) experience Scottye had at DragonCon, and then give our Epic Universe a different sort of trackless attraction. First, Scottye finds a way to separate one coaster into a quintet with <em><strong>The Titan</strong></em>, quite possibly the largest ever single attraction at an OppAtt theme park, because it's not exacty a single attraction. Anyway, one would think Jim would not be as completely crazy as this, until he decides to create <em><strong>Cool Runnings Presents A Series Of Unfortunate Events</strong></em>, a bobsled attraction that is more like actual bobsledding than any rollercoaster themed after the Matterhorn or whatever. Oh, and four sleds go down at once. Good luck with that.</p> <p>Next week, things will get even worse. </p> disney, disney world, universal studios, design, imagineering, engineering, architecture, dragoncon, chewbacca, bb-8, rollercoaster, mythology, bobsled, cool runnings, trackless attractions This week, we discuss a harrowing (and supercharged) experience Scottye had at DragonCon, and then give our Epic Universe a different sort of trackless attraction.

Jim uses force. 37:58 yes <p>This week, your brave skippers tackle educational attractions! After a <strong>PassFast</strong> visit to New Jersey, Jim teaches the world to scream on his attraction, <em><strong>Forces Of Nature</strong></em>, a Test Track that's less about car safety and more about the pull of gravity and acceleration. If physical whiplash isn't your cup of mead, then swing on over to Scottye's emotional whiplash of an attraction <em><strong>The End Of The World Tour</strong></em> where parents will be delighted in having to explain to their children exactly what they witnessed in this very faithfully retelling of the Norse story of Ragnarok. The two drink minimum might actually be a help on this one. </p> <p>Also, be sure to check out our merch page if you want to buy your very own Postmortem Jukebox tee or shirts from some of our other attractions. Proceeds go to help expand our entertainment empire and eventually make all this stuff a reality. </p> This week, your brave skippers tackle educational attractions!
