Jim has a ball. 38:33 yes <p>This week, it's all about guitars and wizards BAY-BEE! We take a quiz to determine whether or not we are special wizard boys and then get into our attractions. First up, Scottye invites guests down the river on <em><strong>Robert Johnson's Bayou Cruise</strong></em>, a boat ride that makes Trader Sam look like a f'n chump with no sense of danger. Then, Jim heads deep into the Wasteland of JimCity to bring forth the 1970s as guests dive into <em><strong>Pinball Wizard</strong></em>, a trackless musical bit of a mayhem (mostly) in the dark. As it turns out, Jim does not have anything resembling a supple wrist. </p> disney, disney world, universal studios, design, imagineering, engineering, architecture, animal kingdom, harry potter, the who, robert johnson, POTC, music, jazz, pinball This week, it's all about guitars and wizards BAY-BEE!

Jim just wants to Be Like Grunk. 37:37 yes <p>This week, we begin with a quick discussioin about some of Epcot's upcoming changes and then segue into how we would design the entrance to our Mysterious Kingdom to better help our guests with character creation in a way that probably will help them be separated from most, if not all, of their money. There are shops featuring all sorts of various wares, a high-fallutin' training center, and even a redemption zone, which is more commercial than it sounds. </p> disney, disney world, universal studios, design, imagineering, engineering, architecture, dungeons and dragons, quest, adventure, fantasy, merchandising, harry potter, shopping This week, we begin with a quick discussioin about some of Epcot's upcoming changes and then segue into how we would design the entrance to our Mysterious Kingdom to better help our guests with character creation in a way that probably will help them be separated from most, if not all, of their money.

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.
