The quarantine has us in a bit of a scheduling quagmire, so here for your listening pleasure is the first episode of our Patreon-only show, FAQueue. We discuss everyone's favorite Future World Discovery pavillion and it's law-breaking butterfly, among other things. If you enjoy the show, please consider becoming a Patreon Saint of OppAtt at http://www.patreon.com/aloadofbs, just like Ransom Meltzer. Yeah, he's getting shouted out in the episode description this week. Deal with it.
A Song Of Prince And Jeff

07/14/20 • 33 min
This week, we say goodbye to the Ride Rehab podcast, try to figure out which Will Smith character we are, and put some Jiggy attractions into Big Park: Music, or whatever we have decided to call it these days.
Apologies for the lateness of the episode. Outside forces conspired against us after we murdered that other theme park podcast.
The Quest For Points
Opposite Attractions: A Theme Park Design Show
02/25/19 • 34 min
This week, after a rousing double dip of PassFast (our show within a show), we send guests on a quest for delicious, wonderful POINTS. First up, Jim invites his guests to tackle the Colosseum Champion's Quest through the use of cheap carnival games and the wonders of virtual reality. Maybe you'll even get a shout-out at the Mysterious Kingdom's daily Colosseum Action Stunt Fight Spectacular Showcase Show! Meanwhile, Scottye has stumbled upon a castle. But not just any castle. No, it is the castle of the former King of the Mysterious Kingdom! Do you have what it takes to battle the spector of the king and his fiercesome golden dragon at the peak of our very own Boss Rush? Roll for initiative and find out!! (Insert maniacal laughter here)
Also, Jim wrote a YA novel and you should check it out via the link in these very show notes. He'd appreciate it.

Let's Get Very Dangerous!
Opposite Attractions: A Theme Park Design Show
10/21/19 • 38 min
This week, we begin talking about some theme park malfunctions, which ends up leading perfectly into our plan to give our Epic Universe some harrowingly dangerous attractions. First up, Scottye invites guests into The Tomb Of Wonders, a dark ride coaster featuring very real special effects that (hopefully) just barely miss riders. Then, Jim takes the idea of the heartline barrel roll and adds, you know, a space camp gyroscope to it. I mean, the point was to be dangerous, right?
Next week -- we celebrate (?) 100 episodes (and a top 5 show) by playing Jim's tabletop RPG Survive The Magic.
Let's Get Spooky And Childish!
Opposite Attractions: A Theme Park Design Show
09/23/19 • 32 min
This week, we discuss new signs, (hopefully) fake scripts, and do our best to give our very own Epic Universe some very spooktacular kiddie attractions. First up, Scottye invites kids of all ages to experience The Ride Where Everything Goes Wrong, a menagerie of animatronics from around the multiverse converging around a boat that somehow has wheels. It has to be technically possible, as we've seen it at Disney Springs! Then, Jim decides that it isn't such a small world that we can't do some Mary Blair murder and yeets those dolls squarely into the Haunted Mansion where they will forever be entangled in your nightmares. It doesn't so much have a name as it has a blood-curdling sound that fills your soul the moment you envision such a hellscape. Isn't he supposed to be the reasonable one?

Challenge: The Grocery Boys (Food-Based Attraction)
Opposite Attractions: A Theme Park Design Show
07/16/18 • 33 min
Everybody loves food, including your pals at Opposite Attractions, so this week we decided to make food the star of our attractions in so much as we could muster. First up is a ride-to-a-restaurant known as Jimmy's Buffet: Escape From Flavortown where guests escape from Johnny Garlic's and into a much nicer buffet down the street while riding in their own booths. Meanwhile, Scottye proves there was not much for Jim's guests to escape from as he wields his power to will Finkatouille into existence, where park mascot Rat Fink has kidnapped Guy Fieri and set about destroying the actual Ratatouille attraction from Walt Disney Studios Park in Disneyland Paris (and coming soon to Epcot) with help from Guy himself! It's a 5-drink minimum, which, of course it is. This is France! So be our guest, be our guest, be our guest and listen today!
Challenge: How To Be A Detective (Escape Room Attraction)
Opposite Attractions: A Theme Park Design Show
07/09/18 • 36 min
After a week of Scottye taking in the sights, sounds, and tastes of Orlando, your brave crew returns to create Escape Rooms (for a price!). Scottye invites his guests to part with their hard-earned cash to visit Southern Mythology, a distillery with a creepy past and tasty liquors. Can you find your way out in only an hour and bring with you the greatest treasure Scottye can dream up?? Meanwhile, Jim struggles to find a name, or much of anything, for his escape room he is now tentatively titling The Vault, an escape room more about finding treasure than finding a way out. But hey, if you pay more, you get more! That totally explains why this podcast is free.
Thanks for listening anyway! Tell your friends! We have alcohol. Okay, only Scottye has alcohol.
Note: Scottye also discusses his very own PassFast experience on Universal's Fast & Furious: Supercharged, an attraction that is none of those things.
Challenge: Opposite Attractions In Mathmagic Land (Educational Attraction)
Opposite Attractions: A Theme Park Design Show
06/25/18 • 37 min
This week, your brave skippers tackle educational attractions! After a PassFast visit to New Jersey, Jim teaches the world to scream on his attraction, Forces Of Nature, a Test Track that's less about car safety and more about the pull of gravity and acceleration. If physical whiplash isn't your cup of mead, then swing on over to Scottye's emotional whiplash of an attraction The End Of The World Tour where parents will be delighted in having to explain to their children exactly what they witnessed in this very faithfully retelling of the Norse story of Ragnarok. The two drink minimum might actually be a help on this one.
Also, be sure to check out our merch page if you want to buy your very own Postmortem Jukebox tee or shirts from some of our other attractions. Proceeds go to help expand our entertainment empire and eventually make all this stuff a reality.

Challenge: Lonesome Ghosts (Spooky Attraction)
Opposite Attractions: A Theme Park Design Show
06/18/18 • 36 min
This week, we continue our tradition of SpooooooOOOOoooky attractions! First up, Scottye delivers The Swing From Hell, a 1930's nightclub speakeasy rollercoaster with a 3 drink minimum of fire, brimstone, and some bitchin' tunes from Postmortem Jukebox, playing live every night at The Hellhole! Meanwhile, on the other side of the park, Jim has sent his employees out ghost-hunting and they may have accidentally incurred the wrath of the Marx Brothers in his rotating theater attraction That's The Spirit!! Maybe they'll join the Mickey Mouse Club and then get hit over the head with it?
Also, they discuss their short vacations including some Hashtag Too Hot Disney knock-off merch, a claustrophic horror tunnel, a fart button, and a detour to the land of PassFast.

Challenge: Water Rides
Opposite Attractions: A Theme Park Design Show
10/02/17 • 32 min
This week, Scottye and Jim attempt to build an amazing water ride for their park, Apex! Jim attempts to make a good-hearted run at making a fun water ride... then Scottye sprays juice all over it. Along the way, they find new friends, make new enemies and most of all... wonder exactly what Mickey would be like at the water cooler!
