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.

Eat it, Disney! 38:04 yes <p>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. </p> 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.
