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.

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 discussing what exactly the title character of that 1996 buddy cop adventure actually looks like.

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 with Coors or whatever though. It's a work-in-progress. Give him time.

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.

Apologies for episode lateness and any potential audio snafus. It's been that kind of week. This week, we get creative and interactive as we create some new attractions for JimCity and Party Town. First up, Scottye sets the bar and then steps up to it to allow his guests to create their own fanciful cocktails. Let's just hope the judges find them as tasty as they are full of that good, good booze. Then, Jim invites guests into an indiscrete location to form their own fanatical brotherhoods, or at least their iconography. If things get too out of control, I'm sure security will be there with tasers. Also, Jim started up a new website called TOON CANOE, where he reviews streaming animation. Check it out in the links for this episode below.

This week, we celebrate (????) Zach Synder's birthday by creating attractions with a sort of Director's Cut. First up, JimCity takes the remnants of the Great Movie Ride and challenges guests to improve it, which isn't all that hard if you think about it. Then, Scottye shares the deleted scenes of Journey Into Imagination, and it might shock you to find out who was cut out of the attraction. Then again, if you've listened before, you will not be shocked at all.

This week, we discuss all the news we missed on our accidental week off (power surges and scheduling conflicts hooray!), have a quick chat about our "favorite" Disney Villains, and then set about giving JimCity and Party Town some seasonal festival style events. First up, Jim gives amateurs a chance to build and test their own thrill rides as he presents Coast-To-Boast, a roller coaster design festival for all ages! Meanwhile, Scottye has opened Party Town to Amish adolescense for his take on the tradition of Rumspringa. Who needs a few years away from the community when Party Town can show you the entire world in a scant three-day weekend??

This week, we give our theme parks some WRASSLIN' attractions. First up, hop aboard Party Town's Dark Order Carousel and feel the words of the late Brodie Lee flow through you as you ride piggy back on Colt Cabana, a fantasy so many of us wish for. Then, Jim gives JimCity yet another series of theater shows as he tries to find the best new wrestlers out of his daily guests, and puts them in the ring with his own roster of goons (ahem, hired goons). It's safer than it looks, but it's still real to me.

This week, we give Party Town and JimCity some exciting robot based attractions after having a goof around a quiz about audio-animatronics. Who knew a sax-playing fish was part of the American Adventure? Anyway, first up, Scottye brings guests on board some jaegers to do some battle Pacific Rim-style. Oh, and you might also be drunk...'cause guess who else is a sponsor? Then, Jim shows his true colors as he forces(???) guests to undergo some ed-jim-ucation, only for them to predictably go on the run from robots. It's just like community college, except slightly better funded.

We are back from our holiday vacations and instead of diving back into Party Town and JimCity we take a detour to Pigeon Forge as Scottye weaves a tale of woe featuring his journey to a strange interactive museum featuring everything from kids dancing to the 45th President to Bigfoot to kids dancing to aliens to the 35th President to kids dancing! Jim, much like you the listener, straps in for the ride. Note that Scottye does refer to this establishment as THROUGH THE LENS at every opportunity. I'm sure they'd actually love his endorsement.

This week, we roll out to create attractions that transform (or transition) from one type of ride to another! First up, Jim sends his guests into the metaphorical attic of JimCity to experience a tour of some long-term carnival ride storage. Then, Scottye invites his patrons to take the blue line tour of Party Town, or the yellow line tour of the Tower Of Power. Maybe bring your brown and/or yellow pants for that one. Also, lambos, trucks, and hey, not so free real estate! See you in two weeks as we break for the holidaze...

This week, we give Party Town and JimCity 2.000 some attractions based around mascots! First, Scottye throws some guests into a car driven by Rat Phink, Gritty, and a whole host of legally challenging cameos on _Fear & Loathing_, which gets real rough real quick. Then, Jim invites his guests to hav a chit-chat with his mascot, Brian The Brain Cell, who we just discovered is inside all of us if we have a drill and a hell of a microscope. We also discuss other mascots, like Joe Rohde (the mascot for Disney's Animal Kingdom), and have a strange conclusion involving John Mulaney.

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 Robert Johnson's Bayou Cruise, 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 Pinball Wizard, a trackless musical bit of a mayhem (mostly) in the dark. As it turns out, Jim does not have anything resembling a supple wrist.

This week, we disperse with pleasantries and quizes and get right to the meat of the season as we discuss the themes and layouts of our theme parks. First up, Scottye razes Scotland and has taken up residence in Party Town, a rather adult themed park featuring the sights, sounds, and booze of all the best party cities in America. Then, Jim leaves behind the burning husk of JimCity 2000 and embarks on christening JimCity 2.000 (you see, the period there is important), a creative and artist expanse that, like Disneyland, will never be complete - but for vastly different reasons than Walt's. Keep up with our builds over the next twenty-eight weeks on Twitter and Facebook, which we have actually decided to use for once.

This week, after discussing possible updates to Epcot's Spaceship Earth, we finish up the third season by nailing down final layouts for Versus, featuring Scottland on the left and JimCity on the right. Jim starts things off by having trouble explaining something he should be good at by now and Scottye follows it up with a confusing romp around promenades that may or may not be shaped like the male anatomy as drawn by MC Escher. Remember to tune in next week as we look back at the first year of Opposite Attractions and then take a week off while Jim has himself a vacation and we plan out what the next season will have in store.

This week, we try our hands at some devious underhanded trickery and bamboozlement as we design attractions for each other's sides of the parks. Scottye takes one look at Jim's personality and decides what JimCity needs is Spaceship Purrrrrth becuase it's not an OppAtt park without a geodesic sphere parody, especially one about animated felines. Meanwhile, in Scottland, Jim has trapped some guests in a game known as Bad Libs, a trackless maze of their own dreams and fears hosted by a spicy ginger puppet and featuring a 3-drink minimum and it's own somewhat custom beverage. We also discuss leaving the central Orlando area, Jim's experience creating on-ride entertainment, and an extremely annoyed Scottish princess. SNARF!

This week, we create dueling night-time shows for our park to help our guests close out their magical days in style. First, Scottye weaves a tale known as The Story Of Scottland, a show with a 5-drink minimum and cannonfire. What could possibly go wrong? Meanwhile on the other side of the park, Jim more blatantly inflates his own ego in the style of the rock opera by way of the band Jimple Minds in his show Don't You Forget About Me, an incredibly faithful and one thousand percent true story of coming to this planet and growing up to build JimCity 2000.

JimCity brings on Kevin Bauman (aka K-Bau) to put a bow on the Sweet 16 and predict the outcomes of each Elite 8 game. K-Bau says what he liked and disliked from each Sweet 16 game. JimCity chatted with K-Bau back on March 16 -- the day after Arizona lost to Buffalo -- and James took a few of Kevin's rants from that night and included them at the end of this episode. Happy Elite 8!

Rut, Baj, Monk and JimCity -- out of The Bunker for this one -- take on the NCAA tournament's Sweet 16 matchups. Eight games are set for March 22-23. The HGN crew talks Vegas odds and spreads, and JimCity needs to know the one player you're most excited to watch in this year's Sweet 16. What does Sister Jean have in store for this round?

Rut, Baj, Monk and JimCity had a lot to process after UMBC throttled Virginia in the first round of the NCAA tournament. The No. 16 Retrievers didn't just squeak by the No. 1 Cavaliers -- they won by 20. The Bunker Boys also welcomed fellow Hope College graduate and professional broadcaster Will DeBoer to give his reaction to Isaac Haas' elbow injury. DeBoer is a Purdue diehard and had to get things off his chest after the Boilermakers' big man went down. Oh, and Willy D also picked Virginia to win the tournament.

Bulldog Steve (aka Rut's dad) enters The Bunker to help Baj, Monk, Rut and JimCity make the right picks. The five guys do rapid-fire selections of each NCAA tournament first-round matchup -- and they get all the way down to the 2018 national champion. Where did they go right? Where did they go wrong? It's a Here Goes Nothin' Post-Pod Party!

James Rogers and Tyler Brinks decided to do a pod series dedicated to the insane track world records, starting with the men's 800, 1500, mile, 3K and steeplechase. JimCity and T-Dot take a deeper look at the following world records in this episode: David Rudisha's 1:40.91 in the 800; Hicham El Guerrouj's 3:26.00 1500 and 3:43.13 mile; Daniel Komen's 7:20.67 in the 3K; Saif Saaeed Shaheen's 7:53.63 in the steeplechase. Which record is the most vulnerable? Which is the safest? As Jim and Ty's friend Zach Zandbergen would say: Let's break down these STUPID-FAST times!
