Opposite Attractions: A Theme Park Design Show

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?

Let's Get Combat Trained!

This week, after spending probably way too long looking at Epcot Food & Wine menus, your hosts set about giving their very own Epic Universe an attraction that doubles as military training. Oh the places we will go! First up, Jim sends a crack team of conventioneers and corporate lackeys into the suburbs of Chicago to rescue Kevin McAllister as Macauley Culkin Presents A Series Of Unfortunate Events (Sponsored By The US Army), a hell house of zany traps and terrorists just waiting for some team building exercises. Meanwhile, in another large building nearby, Scottye "invites" guests to survive (with airsoft rifles) another round of Legends Of The Hidden Temple: The New Class (we never really nailed down a title). It's time to fulfill some of those sweet, sweet revenge fantasies on those temple guards, at any rate. Winners get a free Frothy Ramen.

Let's Get Drunk!

This week, the Skyliner is open! Also, LSD! Maybe that'll help you see through those silly decals, huh? Also, dang guys, sorry the show is late coming to the feed. We spent this episode talking about making attractions where you have to be slightly drunk and Scottye maybe took that too heart. Or maybe he was just busy. Something like that. Anyway, first up - Jim puts gets in the center of a collossal mirror maze known as A Series Of Unfortunate Reflections. If you've ever been through a normal mirror maze, it's like that - only way bigger and way worse for drunk people. If you make it out of that okay, then you can hop behind the wheel of Scottye's go-kart mania where you actually have to keep drinking or you get yeeted off the course and probably into our omnipresent water park. Also, you might not actually be driving. Also, weapons! Grab them blue shells and some Pabst blue ribbons and meet us on the track, It's a-Go Time!
