Scottye knows what it will take. 31:38 yes <p>This week, we discuss some of the insanity at this year's IAAPA conference in Orlando before setting about giving our very own Epic Universe it's own dangerous transportation systems. First up, Jim creates an in-park monorail-ish contraption that just so happens to routinely derail around the load/unload stations, leading to some harrowing balancing acts as guests try (and possibly fail) to make it to their next destination without falling to the sidewalks below. Meanwhile, outside the park, Scottye has instituted a guest proving ground to show that you have the fortitude to spend the day in a theme park that will most definitely cause bodily harm and/or death. Presumably you do not need a ticket to get to the turnstiles themselves, but you might need good insurance. </p> <p>Next week it's our season finale!

Jim is banned from sports. 35:23 yes <p>This week, after discussing some current events about a galaxy far, far away, your hosts try and fail to master a quiz about a place one of the hosts was employed for nearly six months. Then they get to the real crisis of the show, as both hosts have different takes on what exactly an "energy adventure" should include. Somehow, one host takes a path down under to something mildly like a certain loathed Supercharged attraction, while the other takes a page out of a book full of racing tips and tricks as provided by a late night television show host. Hop on your murder bikes, grab your PEDs, and hold on tight. If nothing else, energy really does make the world go 'round. </p> disney, disney world, universal studios, design, imagineering, engineering, architecture, universe of energy, epcot, ellen's energy adventure, mad max, wipeout, star wars galaxy's edge, disneyland This week, after discussing some current events about a galaxy far, far away, your hosts try and fail to master a quiz about a place one of the hosts was employed for nearly six months.
