Jim goes for a spin. 38:05 yes <p>This week, we begin talking about some theme park malfunctions, which ends up leading perfectly into our plan to give our Epic Universe some harrowingly dangerous attractions. First up, Scottye invites guests into <em><strong>The Tomb Of Wonders</strong></em>, a dark ride coaster featuring very real special effects that (hopefully) just barely miss riders. Then, Jim takes the idea of the heartline barrel roll and adds, you know, a space camp gyroscope to it. I mean, the point was to be dangerous, right?</p> <p>Next week -- we celebrate (?) 100 episodes (and a top 5 show) by playing Jim's tabletop RPG Survive The Magic. </p> disney, disney world, universal studios, design, imagineering, engineering, architecture, indiana jones, space camp, reddit, theme park, cast member, danger This week, we begin talking about some theme park malfunctions, which ends up leading perfectly into our plan to give our Epic Universe some harrowingly dangerous attractions.

Scottye goes psycho. 32:13 yes <p>This week, we set our sights on giving our own Epic Universe some attractions based on video games. Surely no one has ever thought of doing such a thing! First up, Jim swims his way from the 50s, to the 80s, and to today as he combines the original flying saucers of Disneyland, the Ninja Turtles, and a slight wiring malfunction at Volcano Bay to recreate the sewer levels of the original TMNT video game. Caution, you my get shockingly wet. Then, Scottye embraces the crazy as he sends guests into the world of Psychonauts on <em><strong>Meat Circus Mania</strong></em>, and somehow this of all things has nothing to do with Guy Fieri.
