Opposite Attractions: A Theme Park Design Show

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: Jungle Rhythm (Jungle Attraction)

This week on our world famous program - the deepest darkest jungle attractions! Jim makes it all about himself as he invites guests to experience Jim's (Apparently) Amazing Jungle Adventure and boy is there a reason that one word is in parenthesis. Join Jim as he delights you with tales of a recent Central America jungle trek while his engineers and artists show you how everything really happened. Meanwhile on the other side of the park, Scottye takes guests down a very special river on his very own World Famous Jungle Booze, a 2-drink minimum attraction where you are also plied with alcohol during the ride. Set sail with your bartender/skipper as you visit the birthplaces of many famous alcoholic beverages and sample them as well. Things get a little wild on his jungle river, folks, and let me be the first to warn you that bathing elephants and animatronic pythons are the least of your worries.

Also, we delve into another episode of our show-within-a-show PASSFAST as Jim discusses the newest attraction of Six Flags Great America - Mardi Gras Hangover, a looping attraction that may or may not be a roller coaster (spoiler: it's not).

Challenge: Opposite Attractions In Mathmagic Land (Educational Attraction)

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.
