Who knew a sax-playing fish was part of the American Adventure? Anyway, first up, Scottye brings guests on board some jaegers to do some battle <em>Pacific Rim</em>-style. Oh, and you might also be drunk...'cause guess who else is a sponsor?

Scottye mispronounces icosahedron. 32:29 yes <p>On this week's show, we discuss Disney Parks recent bans of smoking, vaping, cotton farming, strollers with engines, kiddie wagons, Shakespeare In The Park productions, underpriced merchandise, and any ice that isn't made by Elsa who they have trapped in a refrigeration unit somewhere in the depths of Tom Sawyer Island. Then, things get...kind of random. First up, Jim finds himself on a <em><strong>Quest For Passage</strong></em> as guests must train for the difficult realities of (illegal) wagon travel outside the Mysterious Kingdom. Sure, it's a screen-based attraction, but it'll probably also readjust your spine. Best of both worlds! Then, Scottye hands guests the opportunity to experience <em><strong>The D20</strong></em>, the most random (and copyright infringing) of theme park attractions! Aliens want to share with you attractions from other worlds, be they fast and/or furious, or maybe just a small world with dragons.
