0:19
attractions and rides that i rarely do

0:24
dark rides
0:25

0:36
here on the dirt lot
0:38
beside the park join me and i also
0:41
bought a new umbrella
0:42
so it's kind of teeny and tiny
0:45
but it will serve a purpose i think
0:47
there's a little bit of a parade
0:49

up top walking along a very busy
1:51
thoroughfare
1:52
beach boulevard heading in i'm already
1:54
kind of expecting not to get a lot of
1:55
attractions done in here just because i
1:57
know the wait times are going to be very
1:58
lengthy the park has been
2:00
incredibly busy since the reopenings
2:03
this is the the backup for the drop-off
2:05
area also knox is celebrating its 100th
2:07
anniversary even though technically it's
2:09

not usually go on you're not a big fan
3:21
of them big fast roller coaster things
3:23

3:25
thinking maybe bumper cars
3:27
there you are bumper cars there you are
3:29
sure
3:30
yeah they they thought real wild or
3:32
nothing they may be
3:34
but yeah there you are that's a good one
3:37
all right i'm gonna take your advice and
3:38
head over there and do the bumper cars
3:39
today at some point
3:40
i'll be thinking of you as i'm i'm
3:42
bumping into others
3:45
that's nice huh i ain't never said
3:47
anybody tell me that before

3:54
you the next time i'm through here and
3:56
we'll appreciate
3:57
that unless you've escaped unless you've
3:59
escaped
4:00
well now it's always a possibility i
4:02
won't tell anybody
4:04
oh don't tell no one no i i see down
4:06
there in your pocket you have a little
4:07
bit of an escape plan
4:09
that's right i see the paper kind of
4:10
sticking out there that's right all
4:11
right so next time you might not be here
4:13
that's right i got it all stitched out
4:15
all right i'll check in on you see you
4:17
saturday all right
4:19
see you later buddy oh he's still he's
4:21
never getting out of there
4:22
over here at cordelia's pie kitchen this
4:24
gentleman's playing the banjo
4:26
playing the banjo
4:44
i love it thank you have a good day
4:44
the attraction that was over here past
4:45
the waterfall is temporarily closed
4:47
it was called the mystery lodge and you
4:50
can see over there there is a sign
4:51
stating that they are closed
4:53
but over in here there are quite a few
4:55
fish swimming around
4:57
you really can see them you really can
4:59
see them really well from here you also
5:01
see there are some coins some quarters
5:03
nickels pennies there's a koi fish going
5:06
by there's a couple koi
5:08
down in there but in all honesty you're
5:10
not supposed to put any
5:12
coins in the lake it says right here
5:13
please do not throw coins
5:15
in the lake that is frowned upon so the
5:18
coins you see
5:19
down in there are not supposed to be
5:21
there up there goes the pony express you
5:23
can ride on the back of a horse
5:25
they've also got some tnt but yeah it's
5:28
kind of one of the wackiest coasters
5:29
i've ever seen you're on the
5:31
you're on a horse pony express
5:34
quite possibly one of the most unusual
5:36
type of coasters that you're on a pony
5:39
it's kind of similar to how tron isn't
5:41
tron gonna be like that
5:43
yeah i believe it's actually the same uh
5:45
manufacturer so it's gonna you're gonna
5:47
sit just like that on tron
5:48
except you're not gonna be on a horse at
5:50
epcot you're going to be on a light
5:52
cycle light cycle yeah yeah see
5:54
i know a little bit about tron gonna set
5:56
off the detonators
6:04
yeah there'd be gold in them hills
6:05
that didn't work
6:16
okay that didn't work i tried this one
6:16
here
6:18
i'm gonna do panic
6:23
give it a try dylan okay i'll give it a
6:24
try let's see how good it is
6:28
try this one try this one right here
6:35
still no explosion that was a fail
6:39
closing the gate getting ready to have a
6:41
train go by
6:48
right over in here is where the bumper
6:50
cars are now i do remember when they
6:51
open up for the food festivals they took
6:53
the bumpers cars out and they had
6:55
like picnic tables in there so it was
6:57
unusual not seeing the bumper cars
6:59
inside this little gazebo vestibule now
7:02
the bumper cars are back so you know
7:03
what
7:04
it's time for some bumper cars it's been
7:05
years since i've been on these things
7:07
dang how cool is this a mobile piano
7:10
player rolling through here that
7:12
is so freaking cool
7:15
now they are tough to count but i would
7:17
say there's probably at least
7:18
40 bumper cars in here they are numbered
7:22
they're also numbered but
7:26
it would be tough to count all of them
7:27
it's a real beehive of a beehive of
7:30
shadowed out
7:31
activity down in there we're up next
7:35
are we going to share a vehicle or are
7:36
we going to go step we should go
7:38
separate
7:38
yeah we'll have a bumper
7:42
duel this one's calling my name right
7:47
number 15. i'm gonna go with number one
7:58
five
7:58
oh there we go look at that has the
8:00
emblem right on the front
8:01
i'm right next to number 12. now i'm
8:03
noticing the name of this
8:05
is not even the bumper cars it's called
8:07
wheeler dealer
8:10
so no bumping so i'm not allowed to bump
8:13
i don't know i don't think so can i deal
8:16
yes can i do a little wheeling and
8:18
dealing
8:25
i'm going to oh the train's going by
8:26
again out there another train going by
8:33
also right here in the middle section
8:33
you can put all your beverages in
8:36
in snacks and book bags if
8:39
yeah check it out the train going by
8:50
okay here we go let's do this it's go
8:50
time
8:50
go go go i'm stuck
8:54
i am stuck i can't move
8:58
i can't move there we go i'm going go go
9:00
go go
9:02
go go go okay this is not the most fast
9:07
ride vehicle ever in fact it's not
9:09
moving fast at all it's very slow
9:11
i think the train over there is moving
9:13
much quicker
9:14
this is the very slow paced attraction
9:18
what i'm going to do if someone's coming
9:20
in high someone just bumped me
9:22
on the end i have a slow car maybe i
9:24
maybe i'm not
9:25
i weigh too much there we go okay i'm
9:28
holding it down
9:29
i'm holding it down rolling around
9:32
oh no coming in hot
9:36
heads up that's not good that is not
9:39
good
9:41
stay away from me dylan
9:48
okay going into the pack here going into
9:48
the pack i'm going to try to thread the
9:50
needle
9:51
i'm threading the needle here cutting
9:52
this way oh i got this
9:55
okay now i'm going to follow it around
9:56
this way following it around
10:00
my car is i think is is not working too
10:03
well it keeps like turning off and on
10:05
i think that's it is that the whole ride
10:07
okay now i'm good
10:08
you know what i'm going right into it
10:10
i'm going in
10:17
going around going stay away from me
10:17
don't me it's not the name of this
10:19
attraction
10:20
called the wheeler dealer not the bumper
10:32
cars
10:32
go this way look at this whoa whoa
10:36
i've nearly avoided that stay away
10:39
stay away i say the secret is to stay
10:43
here along the edge
10:47
i think that whenever i get close to
10:49
this side
10:50
it's like it stalls out
10:53
oh i'm going going upstream
10:57
i'm going i'm going into the current oh
11:05
there is a gigantic chair over there
11:05
people getting their their photograph in
11:07
it
11:07
it's like 10 or 12 feet tall this
11:10
fountain is very impressive as well i
11:12
just heard the train
11:13
going by and you see the k at the top of
11:17
the sky
11:17
tower i think we should go up in the sky
11:19
tower at some point too
11:20
what do they call it here the sky tower
11:22
the sky tower and i'm also curious to
11:24
see if they are running the stagecoach
11:26
with the horse-drawn stage coach
11:28
very old school like back in the old the
11:30
old and western days
11:31
which is what a lot of nap is especially
11:33
ghost town and whatnot and i don't know
11:35
if it's back open again since the parks
11:36
have but if it is
11:37
i'm gonna board a stagecoach and do a
11:39
little cruise round circle around the
11:40
park or at least parts of the park
11:42
of despair do we not inevitably we do
11:45
oh yeah just leave me alone besides what
11:48
do you two care
11:49
well we may be rugged handsome outlaws
11:52
but we are certainly not heartless are
11:54
we tiny oh we are known
11:56
so what's your big problem we ain't got
11:58
all day you really want to know
12:00
yeah really yeah honest to goodness
12:03
spit it out okay well i just got word
12:06
that i found the final exam of my
12:08
sheriff in correspondence
12:25
hey that means you graduate everybody
12:25
as i wait in line for the stagecoach
12:29
another mode of transportation is going
12:31
by the train
12:32
once again leaving this pulling away
12:34
from the station
12:37
rio grande lisa was painted on the side
12:40
i didn't see the front of the the engine
12:42
so much but
12:44
pulling away in fact you can see one of
12:47
the stage coaches pulling into the
12:49
station right now over there
12:50
you got four horses and the stagecoach
12:59
we just learned that if there's two
12:59
people even though we we did wait in a
13:01
pretty lengthy line we thought we got
13:02
pretty lucky because we thought
13:04
we were at the front of the line once
13:05
the next little stagecoach
13:07
showed up that we'd be able to walk up
13:08
this and sit on the top and get kind of
13:11
a bird's-eye perspective as we went
13:12
around
13:13
however since it's only just me and
13:14
dylan it's a it's a minimum of three
13:16
people
13:17
to sit on top of the stagecoach
13:21
so we're going to have to sit inside
13:22
dylan it's okay we're going to sit
13:24
inside the stagecoach
13:26
let's hope we don't get robbed i'm
13:27
reading the rules up here and it says
13:29
number four
13:30
buffalo robes are provided for your
13:32
comfort during the cold weather
13:34
hogging robes will not be tolerated
13:37
and the offender will be made to ride
13:40
with the driver
13:42
oh that's the way to get up top if i had
13:44
a
13:45
hogging robe on i can sit next to the
13:47
driver
13:48
city line creek line kansas city and
13:51
triple
13:51
street stage line there it is all right
13:55
go on now
13:56
grab a seat
14:02
all right off off we go the wheels turn
14:06
in there
14:07
pulling away from the station
14:11
you know it's interesting back in the
14:12
day i do remember riding this
14:14
up top with only two people and maybe
14:16
because it's such a busy day
14:18
probably because it's so busy
14:21
that's probably the reason
14:35
underneath the log ride they always have
14:36
this alarm going off this light is
14:38
flashing
14:38
there's always an alarm right here on
14:40
the bottom of the log ride okay the
14:42
alarm just stopped
14:44
oh over there you can see the galloping
14:46
goose
14:51
oh probably see our reflection in this
14:51
window there oh yeah
15:10
about to go up an embankment now you see
15:10
is like a little bit of elevation right
15:13
okay giving it some gas
15:21
take a look at the parking you can just
15:22
see how busy it is over there today and
15:23
there's that archway that you pull under
15:25
when you're doing the drop off and the
15:26
entrance to the farm
15:27
hello again good to see you
15:31
you all go on the stage we just got off
15:33
the stage coach we did a little circle
15:34
tour around the park well that's what
15:36
that horse smell is
15:38
i find it rather refreshing myself
15:40
what's in the cup here
15:42
well it was peach tea and bourbon i'm a
15:44
little empty i'm heading over to the
15:45
saloon to get a refill okay
15:46
we'll hold you up good to see you she is
15:48
my goodness cheers
15:50
it's a nice little kind of well i want
15:51
to call it a hidden area but there's a
15:52
little area that you can walk across
15:54
this bridge
15:55
this very oh very bouncy bridge
15:58
here it has these little well i guess
16:00
they're flotation devices that keep the
16:03
bridge
16:04
from sinking and it's very shaky it's
16:06
very unstable so you see it's kind of
16:08
swaying
16:09
back and forth it's swaying quite a bit
16:11
yeah i'm trying to
16:12
there we go going down there it's moving
16:15
and shaking
16:16
but you can walk through this waterfall
16:18
cavern
16:20
as well so you go kind of go into this
16:22
cavern here you need a lanyard to see
16:24
in here
16:34
oh they still have the the markers here
16:34
on which way to go along the ground
16:36
but as you go in they have that's the
16:40
a lot of fun to just kind of walk
16:41
through here and it's nice and cool
16:43
cool and crisp out of the heat
16:47
up the back side of
16:50
not water
16:56
we still got to go over to the sky tower
16:56
i can see it over there
16:57
go up on the sky tower now about to go
16:59
up inside the sky
17:01
cabin not long of a wait just a couple
17:03
minutes the
17:05
we were waiting for the horse strong
17:07
carriage we probably waited about
17:08
probably 45 minutes or so maybe close to
17:10
an hour
17:11
but this right here is just a quick
17:13
little walk on we just lucked out
17:15
with the uh with the one just landing
17:17
and letting us on the next one
17:19
oh there goes the coaster going by there
17:21
we're going to get us we're getting a
17:22
spinny look around
17:24
i didn't realize that well i've been on
17:25
this years ago but i didn't realize i
17:27
had forgotten that it spins around
17:30
i've never been on that coaster and the
17:31
drop rides about ready to drop there the
17:33
supreme screen's about ready to go in
17:34
