the water the side window getting a
0:32

resort you can see there's even some
3:35
canoes down in there with some fishermen
3:37
he got him a little something nice the
3:41
detail is something else there's a
3:44
backhoe and a tractor down there doing a
3:48
little work like they're building a
3:50
house church service is in listen
3:53
closely you can hear the choir
4:02
very very faintly the cemetery at the
4:02
bottom of the hill and the horses and
4:04
carriages on that dirt path some oil
4:08
refineries down there and if I press the
4:11
button they start to move just call me
4:13
Jed Clampett oil tycoon I'll let my
4:18
finger off the button and they stop and
4:21
I'm gonna put them back to work by
4:22
pressing it there they go again see what
4:25
happens when the cable cars start to
4:29
move oh yeah I see it right there go in
4:34
across the wire
4:36
ever so gently I up in the air there's
4:39
two of them there comes another one
4:41
they're crossing town
4:45
back into the station
4:53
oh now it's on the other way more a
4:53
caverns there's a tour group right down
4:57
in there amongst the stalactites and
5:00
stalagmites small-town Americana right
5:06
through here
5:14
there goes the trolley
5:14
for raining its way through town to come
5:16
right by where I'm standing and I am the
5:21
conductor of sorts because I'm holding
5:23
the button that lets get that
5:24
steamroller moving there we got a lot of
5:28
work to be done down there
5:35
all the children are out on the
5:35
playground
5:37
having a good time on the teeter totters
6:00
at any moment a trolley should come down
6:00
oh there it is coming down that hill at
6:05
a very rapid speed I might add just
6:08
gonna loop around and then back up side
6:12
of the hill
6:13
nothing's nothing's moving
6:48
he was wavin that elephant was wavin
6:48
look how happy he is down there I see
6:52
you elephant I'm waving back at you
6:55
buddy
6:57
and he's just super happy
7:06
down in the blacksmith shop he's hard at
7:06
work you can even see him down there
7:08
he's got the light off doing a little
7:11
hammering yeah he's hard at it
7:24
getting down to business
7:24
lumbering taking place those two guys
7:29
are sawing a tree
8:11
basically anywhere in here to get a good
8:15
view if you want to go to a higher
8:17
elevation they've also provided that the
8:21
Appalachian Mountain Trail 800 feet but
8:27
these days like the hike and you can
8:29
definitely lose your breath all the way
8:30
up there but worth the climb
8:33
look at that the three-ring circus next
8:37
to the airport
8:43
sometimes you just miss a lot of this
8:43
stuff and the more you look the more you
8:46
see like never-ending reminiscent of
8:50
angels flight in Los Angeles downtown or
8:54
the ones in Chattanooga Tennessee those
8:57
cars are going directly up and down hill
9:02
on their tracks at any point if you get
9:06
a little winded or tired they have
9:08
provided seats to the right there next
9:11
to the mirror and I could see why
9:14
because you could spend hours in here
9:17
and not quite see everything an entire
9:21
day could be spent in this building
9:23
passing the Sheriff's Office drugstore
9:26
the County Jail
9:33
it's an old West Village Sleepy Hollow
9:33
see the side right on the fire station
9:37
the general store post office you gain
9:41
and get yourself alone
10:03
give a little light down in that coal
10:03
mine
10:04
the elevators are now operating hard to
10:09
get your work done in the dark yeah
10:14
that's tough to see better with the
10:16
lights on like that
10:22
it appears to be a little shindig going
10:22
on in that barn
10:23
they're dancing
10:26
they're dancin a lot that would be me
10:29
over there in the corner or sitting on
10:31
that bench
10:32
I pretty much have two left feet not the
10:36
best answer
10:38
billboard promoting the shirtless Ville
10:42
Hotel and diner
10:45
you have to wonder how these pigs down
10:48
here
10:53
feel about being so close in proximity
10:53
to the diner side they're having their
10:56
faces rubbed in it they can't escape
11:01
they just have to look at it all day
11:04
sorry pigs
11:23
an old homestead and an outhouse right
11:23
down there I don't want to zoom in too
11:25
close because someone's in there using
11:28
the facilities
11:41
dinosaurs they're no longer extinct at
11:41
least in here
11:43
zoom out just a bit you can see where
11:47
they are are looming and down around the
11:50
back corner kind of tucked away next to
11:55
the waterfall
12:00
that's where the prehistoric creatures
12:00
are
12:05
right in there definitely gone the extra
12:05
mile when it comes to theming one thing
12:09
I really like are the paintings on the
12:12
walls which really add to the whole
12:16
experience
12:18
see even way over there on those walls
12:58
make your way down from the Overlook to
12:58
the regular bottom floor and then to the
13:01
basements is another cavern this one by
13:05
the name of endless let's just go on get
13:10
on
13:12
and on well the model doesn't but maybe
13:15
the real cavern does oh there's even
13:18
there's even some people down in there
13:20
full caravan of folks roaming around
13:23
down in there
13:28
when northland looking for amongst this
13:28
rocky terrain of battle is taking place
13:31
some Cowboys down here and their
13:35
stagecoaches there's a couple of them
13:37
one there and another one right up there
13:42
it's getting heavy in there shots have
13:45
been fired signified by that cotton ball
13:48
protruding out of the end of the rifle
13:51
see if they're poking out of the
13:53
stagecoach I say right quickly along the
13:55
edge of the cliff they're not noticing
13:57
this guy hiding in the shadows is going
14:02
to get the drop on them stealth mode
14:05
old-school organ that you would push
14:07
through the streets sits in front of
14:10
this hotel you don't see too many of
14:13
those in this day and age the forerunner
14:15
of the large band organs that you could
14:17
later find on merry-go-rounds at
14:20
amusement parks and fairgrounds listen
14:23
closely I'm going to press the button
14:24
see if you can hear it
15:32
