Jim hunts for bears. 39:34 yes This week, Scottye faces the existensial crisis that is learning about the Disney Parks reservation system in real time for your enjoyment, we do some quizzes about the past, and then get nostalgic for our attractions. First up, Scottye uses a bit of his Tower of Power to rebuild the old Nickelodeon Hotel from just off Route 536, complete with all the horrors it was known for. Then, Jim sends guests on a trip through time (and little hard drive space) as they tackle The Oregon Trail (sponsored without asking by the Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium) by fording rivers, shooting wildlife, and hopefully not dying of dysentery.
