We finally wrap up season 10 and say goodbye, for now(?), to Opposite Attractions by taking a rather long quiz and adding up all the finishing touches to Party Town and JimCity 2.000. We also discuss a little bit of theme park news from the past two weeks, and remind everyone that we will still be doing FAQueue monthly for our Patreon family. After 175 total episodes, it's been a hell of a run. Please watch your hands, arms, feet, and legs as you exit and have a magical day.

Jim really wanted to end with a feed of exactly 175 episodes, so we're adding in this Patreon FAQueue about Disney Springs to square everything up. Learn about some of the history of the Marketplace/Island/West Side/Springs and some goofy stories of our experiences hanging out and, in Scottye's case, working there.

This week, on our penultimate episode, we look back not at ten seasons of this podcast, but at what we could do to make attractions based on all of Scottye's other podcasts. Isn't it just a shame Universal already beat us to most of them? Next week we will be sharing another old episode from our Patreon show FAQueue, which we will still be trying to do monthly even after OppAtt goes on its much needed hiatus. We will then come back the following week with our big ole finale. Support Opposite Attractions: A Theme Park Design Show ..read more

This week, we start things off by discussing Universal's new Velocicoaster, featuring five inversions and not much theming, before moving on to building some attractions with a lil help from celebrities. First up, Scottye invites guests to experience the, well, experience that is Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson Presents Fast & Furious Presents Hobbs & Shaw Presents Dueling Dragons Sponsored By Various Forms Of Alcohol: The Movie: The Ride or whatever. Choose your action star and strap in for this wild coaster also featuring Idris Elba! Meanwhile, Jim has looked at the world a little differen ..read more

This week, it's all about those ding-dang dinosaurs once again as we add them into Party Town and JimCity...just where they belong! Up first, Jim holds a meeting over the issues that plagued the original dino themed entertainment complex as he brings to the world Jurassic Parks And Recreation Town Hall Meeting, featuring a strange meat-eating stegosaurus. Then, Scottye wants everyone who visits Party Town to know what is and is NOT a good drug, and has hired Theodore Rex to help him showcase just what will happen if you go down the bad path of illicit substances. We then spend way too long dis ..read more

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 wildlif ..read more

This week, we discuss the New Disney Look guidelines and take a quiz about Disney sports movies because we are giving Party Town and JimCity some attractions based on sports we think our guests would excel at. First up, Jim brings his guests into a theater for a little Battle Improv, a game so made up he's not entirely sure on all the rules. Meanwhile, Scottye brings his guests into an arena and pits them against each other in a little duel he calls Drink Monsters, which might end up being a real game eventually, knowing how his mind works. Not sure if YuGiOh wants the sponsoring partnership w ..read more

This week, we discuss tons of Disney parks news about money, disease, and racism....yeah, sounds about right...then we give our theme parks some absolutely PERFECT attractions. First up, Scottye buys up the theme park rights to 90s film and then disregards the plot entirely just so he can build something known as The Mothman Prophecies, a strange hybrid of about forty-three different popular and not-so-popular attractions. Then, Jim lets the vaccine get to his head, apparently, as he goes on a tangent explaining something he refers to as Neighborhood Watch. He apologizes in advance. Support Op ..read more

This week, we discuss the news about Disneyland expansions, take a silly international quiz, and then give our city-themed parks some outdoorsy attractions. First up, Jim builds a fake mountain with some rides in and around it. Never seen that before, huh? Then, Scottye gives his guests a nice calm place to clean themselves up after a long, hard day in Party Town. Apologies for the lateness of the episode and any potential audio bugs that may be present in this episode. Everything will be perfect next week. That may or may not be a spoiler alert.

This week, we discuss the Disney CM fired for water-tasting shenanigans, then do some Show And Tell for Party Town and JimCity attractions. First up, Scottye brings out various music-making devices for his attraction YouDJ/UDJ (maybe there's a copyright situation or something???) and tasks you the guest into making your own sweet, sweet sounds. Then, Jim waves a book around like a lunatic as guests find themselves in the audience of one rather chatty telepathic gorilla. One can only assume the queue features the song "Do The Evolution" by Pearl Jam. Support Opposite Attractions: A Theme Park D ..read more
