really hoping to get on a sky ride at
1:16
some point during one of these fairs you
1:18
know i never realized that back in here
1:19
is like an
1:20
old timey town some of the history from
1:23
the tampa bay area
1:25
some of the old structures have been
1:26
moved back in here i didn't realize that
1:28
until i met up with tampa j
1:30
welcome to tampa thank you got a little
1:32
distracted oh look at that got a little
1:34
distracted by the
1:34
lego roller coaster check this out this
1:38
is amazing there's a whole display in
1:39
here
1:40
a whole setup of different lego
1:42
assortments
1:43
including the ferris wheel and it's kind
1:45
of going up the lift hill there
1:48
and here's yet another one going up the
1:49
lift hill in this jurassic area
1:52
and look at that the train going by down
1:54
here that's doing the drop
1:56
oh my gosh that's awesome and this whole
1:58
section is a jurassic park
2:01
area all right i got my wristband it was
2:03
25 11
2:04
what it was admission i pre-paid and got
2:06
it online and
2:08
first up the the rather gargantuan
2:11
ferris wheel if you look closely there's
2:12
someone in the middle of the wheel right
2:14
now doing some work
2:16
yeah take a look at that in the middle
2:17
of the wheel the wheel well i said it
2:19
stopped and now it started moving
2:21
once again pretty good view
2:24
from all the way up there pretty good
2:26
view it was a little rickety at some
2:27
points but you can get a really good
2:29
view of the entire property
2:30
from at the top of the wheel and just
2:33
next to the ferris wheel
2:34
the sky ride i am a connoisseur of
2:38
sky rides i always i know i do that too
2:40
i always like twirl my feet like that
2:42
going up and jay was just saying there
2:44
might be too much weight on this two
2:45
fully grown men who are not
2:47
thin well speaking for myself i'm not
2:49
thin i'm not
2:50
speaking for you now there are certain
2:51
rides i will not go on like the one in
2:53
the center of the stream there and
2:54
that's not happening i see this
2:55
gentleman over here he's supposed to
2:57
guess weight
2:58
can you guess our weight all the way up
3:01
can you guess our weight uh
3:04
200 pounds both of us together nailed it
3:08
yeah there's a real cavalcade of
3:10
attractions here there's the magic
3:11
dragon
3:12
there i hope there's some dark rides
3:14
maybe one of those like scary dark rides
3:16
now this is called the typhoon it's like
3:19
a pirate theme
3:21
and that thing is moving
3:24
look at that thing oh man they're like
3:28
barely holding on on there
3:30
hold on oh there's some looks of pain
3:33
now this poster says no single riders so
3:36
it's a good thing
3:37
it's a good thing we're here together
3:39
even though i am
3:40
single but i think it refers to no
3:42
riding with by yourself
3:44
one of those gravity posters where there
3:46
is a lift hill once you get to the top
3:48
of the lift hill
3:49
it's all gravity is how it works
3:52
completely oh we're getting a nice
3:54
little little perspective today in the
3:55
back
3:57
hold the hold on oh my gosh look how
3:59
close this is
4:00
oh i don't like this oh my god
4:03
oh okay lean over i don't like how that
4:07
i need to sit more towards the middle
4:09
that is like really terrifying
4:11
oh my god i don't like that turn oh my
4:14
gosh i feel like going over i'm like
4:16
leaning
4:17
oh i don't like this i don't like this
4:19
at all
4:20
i do not like this
4:26
oh my gosh see i don't like this it's my
4:26
weight here on the side oh i can feel it
4:28
buckling
4:29
i can feel it buckling oh my god
4:34
did you feel that thing sweet did you
4:36
feel it
4:37
i did not like that at all i feel like
4:39
if we would have both sat on the same
4:41
side
4:42
front and back it would have tilted off
4:43
i got to say i'm very excited they have
4:45
the haunted mansion here oh
4:47
i don't know what happened down there
4:49
maybe that was the last rider
4:52
oh this is like deja vu oh hello there
5:01
oh and here's another one called asylum
5:01
i've never seen this one before okay
5:02
going on oh i think that's the demon
5:04
from the exorcist
5:06
oh going in okay this is like the other
5:10
one it looks similar
5:12
what the heck that is what's going on
5:17
all right i like this one so far this is
5:18
a good one
5:20
that is that sounds very shocking and
5:22
frightening what's going on back there
5:24
just going along the track here okay
5:37
i don't know i can still hear that
5:37
screaming though
5:39
anything in here whatever that was
5:42
didn't work
5:44
it didn't work
5:52
that's the same effect that was in the
5:53
haunted mansion same exact effect
5:56
oh and look up here this thing is like
5:58
deja vu
6:00
it's not working though it didn't work
6:03
now this is very awesome i love
6:05
new york take a look at this with a
6:06
little core screw slide there no
6:08
handstands in the barrel so you have to
6:10
walk right through the barrel
6:12
on your own
6:16
i made it that was easy and now when
6:16
there's some sort of funhouse oh this is
6:18
definitely
6:31
oh this shakes a little bit okay i got
6:31
okay i'm already very impressed with
6:33
this this is much better
6:35
than a lot or someone trying to get
6:36
behind me we're going too slow
6:47
oh there's something down here i almost
6:47
flipped on this i seriously
6:49
almost slipped on this right down here
6:51
oh yeah now this is a nice touch
6:53
nyc sewer i wonder if the chugs are down
6:56
in here
6:57
i wonder if the chuds are going around
7:00
they put the turtles or chuds
7:04
i prefer turtles over chugs because
7:07
chubs will eat your face in a diner
7:10
just like john goodman at the end of
7:11
that film
7:27
this thing is always exciting i've done
7:27
one of these at knott's berry farm but
7:29
never out of fair
7:31
looks as if we're the only ones on this
7:32
it's starting up now
7:34
and going and we got the back seat so
7:37
we're opposite of what you see over
7:38
there
7:39
which means we're going to get kind of
7:40
the pinnacle of the height
7:42
which is really it's really gonna mess
7:45
with the stomach
7:46
all right it's happening going higher
7:48
going higher now
7:50
get your hands up ends up getting his
7:52
hands up
7:53

8:02
oh that's it that's the moment right
8:08
oh yeah get his hands up get the head oh
8:08
that's
8:08
it that's the one
8:26
what if anyone's have ever had a bowel
8:26
movement on this oh my gosh
8:30
we're about to find out now oh i don't
8:32
like them
8:37
no i just left my seat yeah i just did
8:38
oh this needs to end we should have sat
8:40
in the middle we wouldn't have got as
8:42
much height
8:42
oh my gosh we got a cup of iced tea oh
8:45
there goes a golf cart
8:46
got a cup of iced tea right here for one
8:48
dollar next to the sky ride which is up
8:51
yeah you can't beat one dollar for some
8:53
sweet tea
8:54
every time i see a sky ride like this as
8:56
well i always think of lost boys
8:58
thinking after nightfall some of the
9:00
vampire i think kiefer sutherland will
9:01
come out and
9:02
try to find us i think so yeah i do need
9:04
to find some food they have roasted corn
9:06
here they have turkey legs they have
9:07
chicken kebabs
9:08
i gotta admit it really the the the
9:10
savoriness
9:12
and the smell of this is really enticing
9:13
me to get get something from
9:15
from here i don't know though and this
9:18
is what we're dealing with george's
9:20
fun foods as i unwrap i got an italian
9:23
sausage
9:24
polish sausage with loaded up with
9:26
onions and
9:27
the peppers and then what did you get i
9:29

9:30
on so you pulled it up on the stick yeah
9:33
it
9:34
oozes out all the stuff i got some
9:35
barbecue too this is almost always a
9:37
go-to for me
9:38
not fair to get all the sausage or a hot
9:41
dog or italian sausage
9:43
it works i messed up i just i i was
9:46
recording i didn't realize
9:47
i was using your camera oh i didn't get
9:49
the first fight that's
9:50
all right the second bite was just doing
9:52
it check this out it's the tiny tanker
9:56
the inspiring the next generation of
9:58
heroes
9:59
tiny tanker is your mobile hand

tanker
10:26
tiny the tanker look at that
10:30
wash hands after each activity from the
10:33
tiny tanker
10:37
that looks pretty neat with the
10:37
reflection of the ferris wheel there in
10:38
the water
10:39
i think at some point you need to do a
10:41
nighttime or sunset
10:42
sky ride we should do a sunset skyride
10:45
oh maybe get some ice cream too as well
10:47
you know what yeah ice cream they were
10:49
cones
10:50
yeah that really is a big ferris wheel
10:53
that's the one i went on first when i
10:55
first came in yeah i really like this
10:57
i've never seen a sign that says they
10:58
have
10:59
tylenol coffee and they have films i
11:01
wonder what kind of films they have in
11:02
this little
11:03
coffee stand there are quite a few
11:06
chickens
11:07
and hens and other poultry
11:10
through here oh hello i hear you down
11:14
oh there's a turkey right here now there
11:16
is something right over here that's just
11:18
beckoning me it's called a bear affair
11:22
it's at the fair but it's a bear affair
11:25
see that's the name of it i think i'm
11:26
gonna
11:27
i'm gonna get inside the belly of one of
11:28
these these bears oh it's kind of like
11:31
not really i guess kind of like a
11:32
tilting world with bears now the tilting
11:34
was a little more intense
11:36
is it just me or is this thing like hard
11:37
to turn it's pretty hard to turn yeah
11:40

11:41
it all on your own what is that
11:43
sound it's like grinding underneath it's
11:45
the grinding of this right here
11:47
it definitely needs some blue over there
11:55

11:55

12:02

13:13
that's bright strobe light warning
13:35
what is happening here
13:35

17:05
we couldn't move yeah look at this one
17:08
yeah
17:08
you lay down on your stomach and then it
17:10
spins around and then
17:12
tilt on an angle like that
17:15
and oh wait a major angle going way
17:19
up like that oh i don't know yeah that
17:21
one yeah i'm good total world was
17:22
extreme enough for me
17:24
back up on the sky ride going the
17:26
opposite direction now looking up
17:28
over and down and across the entire
17:31
property here
17:32
well the majority of the property a lot
17:35
of items and things that we have done
17:37
i do feel like the night would not be
17:38
complete without a dessert option some
17:40
sort of treat
17:41
yes you should get something for the old
17:43
sweet tooth i have a sweet tooth that's
17:44
for sure
17:45
let's fulfill the sweet tooth need yes
17:48
please have a fried dessert item or
17:50
something
17:51
a delicious delicacy of that persuasion
17:53
something fried and sweet
17:55
it is really a sight to behold here at
17:58
the tampa
17:59
well it's the florida state fair is it
18:02
technically in the
18:03
city in the city limits of tampa this
18:07
campus state fairgrounds is a glorious
18:10
place
18:11
let's be technical it's just on the
18:12
outskirts of the city but they still
18:14
call it tango
18:14
you call that the tampa eye i call the
18:16
tampa i hope because the orlando eye
18:19
yeah it's probably about half the scale
18:20
of the permanent it's the closest thing
18:22
we have
18:23
and it's not even called the orlando eye
18:24
anymore it's called icon
18:26
icon orlando so i'm gonna call that the
18:29
tampa icon i like it not responsible for
18:32
clothing damaged
18:34
by the animals i have an ice cream cone
18:36
full
18:37
of some delicious food how do i get in
18:39
here this way
18:58
oh they're chowing down over here
18:58
although you probably don't want any of
19:00
this do you no
19:02
you would not be interested in this
19:03
because you have the hay
19:24
oh
19:24
you watch this don't you
19:29
well you're not leaving me alone are you
19:46
got all the goats in here look at this
19:46
little baby
19:51
oh hello there are you still following
19:53
oh hello close you're very close take a
19:56
little bit there you go take that crown
19:57
take that
19:59
okay i'm done all gone all right i might
20:01
have found something i've never tried
20:03
before a
20:03
red velvet oreo you think that would be
20:06
good yeah you want to go for that
20:08
yeah what are you going to get they have
20:09
something in here you have a funfetti
20:11
cake pop and a cinnamon
20:13
butter but that's it just cinnamon
20:15
butter oh maybe it's just butter
20:17
deep fried cinnamon deep fried butter
20:18
with a little little
20:20
little batch of cinnamon on top of it
20:22
got four fried velvet cake pops and some
20:25
gooey goodness here that you dip it in
20:27
and what is this beautiful work of ours
20:30
funfetti up on the side of the
20:34
stand it had had pictured an artist's
20:37
rendition of some candles in it but i
20:38
don't think they included any candles
20:40
and i'll tell you what it looked nicer
20:41
but it was so hot it melted the icing
20:43
like melted
20:44
it's right off there and it like dripped
20:46
in there scorchingly toasty
20:48
look and this is uh yeah this is uh
20:51
this is quite the the delicious treats
20:53
something sweet
20:54
it's up and fried that's what we wanted
20:56
for the old sweet tooth really sweet
20:57
teeth it's pretty much par for the
20:59
course
20:59
at every fair that you have to have
21:01
fried food we don't have to have it
21:03
but it seems like i don't think any
21:05
other enterprise
21:06
has as much fried desserts as a fair
21:10
does
21:10
oh it's fair to say there are more
21:14
i think that's pretty fair yeah so this
21:15
right here is not healthy
21:32
that is really dang tasty yeah
21:32
whoo there's a guy climbing up there
