what you're staring at right here is an
0:06
alligator tail and that is actually an
0:10
alligator in the wild you can barely see
0:13
it his tail is right there and his body
0:16
is protruding out of the water in this
0:19
little retention Pond area a lot of
0:22
times you see gators at theme parks
0:24
places in Florida like Gatorland and
0:26
other zoos have alligators this zoo in
0:29
particular this theme park has been
0:31
closed for over 40 years I'm talking
0:35
about the original Tarzan Johnny Weiss
0:38
Mueller's tropical Wonderland here in
0:41
Titusville Florida and I'm here my
0:43
friend Daniel who is a local resident
0:46
how long have you lived in Titusville
0:47
born and raised here 29 years so this
0:49
place has a special place in your heart
0:51
and the generation above you you said
0:53
your father came out here quite a few
0:55
times as well so you know a lot of the
0:57
history and as we were walking along
1:00
we noticed this guy mowing the yard and
1:03
then he noticed an alligator a real live
1:07
alligator and there's actually a turtle
1:09
over there popping out of the water at
1:11
first I noticed the turtle and then he
1:13
said I think that's a gator tail and
1:15
what's attached to a gator tail a gator
1:18
head a gator itself the rest of the body
1:21
hopefully you can see that zoom in oh my
1:24
gosh let me do this let me pry this back
1:41
that is frightening it's my second
1:41
channel daily blog channel it's the
1:43
daily abandoned kind of abandoned the
1:46
property is owned by several different
1:49
businesses it's the daily woo theme park
1:52
version of an old classic Florida
1:56
attraction that most people outside of
1:58
Titusville probably never knew about and
2:00
a lot of people in Titusville have
2:01
probably forgotten most of them have
2:03
forgotten so give me a little backstory
2:05
of what you know on this property and
2:08
Johnny Weiss Mueller and his association
2:10
with that anything that you know that
2:11
you want to chime in in the blog um 1959
2:14
the park opened here in Titusville um
2:17
and then it was it was under a specific
2:19
operation under whoever opened it as a
2:21
theme park um had all kinds of stuff
2:23
there was a Dodge City like a shootout
2:25
kind of an old west kind of area and
2:27
then they also had a tropical area that
2:29
had animals and
2:30
all kinds of zoo exhibits uh they even
2:32
had a big building that was that's still
2:34
here actually part of the uh the snake
2:35
and reptile exhibit we're going to walk
2:37
over to the front of it the reason we're
2:39
over in this area is we were looking at
2:41
some old maps online if you just Google
2:44
Johnny Whit mu or tropical Wonderland
2:46
one of the first maps that shows up is
2:48
an old rure of the layout of the land of
2:52
the entire property so go on Google look
2:55
at that or download that on your
2:56
computer or on your smartphone and while
2:58
we do the Vlog we'll pin point out
3:00
certain areas of where attractions were
3:03
at least what I kind of know from my
3:05
research online and what you know
3:07
through distant memory as a child or
3:09
stories that people have told you will
3:11
try to vicariously bring you along on
3:14
the property here in Titusville so this
3:17
guy's actually mowing the yard there's a
3:19
mower shop in front of this nightclub
3:23
sports bar right here and this sports
3:25
bar as best as we can tell this sports
3:28
bar nightclub and The Mower Shop on the
3:30
other side are actually original facades
3:34
and original buildings from back in
3:37
1960s or
3:39
1959 when the place opened I'm not sure
3:42
if it was here on opening day but it was
3:44
here when the maps were created so if
3:46
you have that map in front of you if
3:48
you've Googled it and done the research
3:50
you will realize that on the far corner
3:53
of the map are these buildings we
3:56
actually tried to get way up top up
3:58
there on those condominium
4:00
and get you guys an aerial shot however
4:02
it's all locked up and the only way to
4:04
get on the elevator is to have a key if
4:06
you actually live in the condominium and
4:09
we do not live up there so we could not
4:11
actually get up there's actually a dog
4:13
over there barking quite a bit and at
4:16
one time there was actually a house here
4:19
and if you look on that map online you
4:22
will see at the front edge of the
4:24
property is this long building and then
4:27
next to it is a another angled building
4:30
which we'll show momentarily and then
4:32
behind that was a house and then the
4:34
Titusville drive-in movie theater was
4:36
actually on the corner of Highway 50
4:38
which is Colonial Drive is it not
4:41
Colonial Drive Highway 50 and what road
4:44
is this right here that we're see that's
4:46
us one here so US1 that's different than
4:49
A1A right yeah that A1A is beach side
4:51
this one this is the one that runs all
4:53
the way from all the way down by Miami
4:55
all the way up to Maine okay gotcha
4:58
we're not in Maine today however we are
5:00
in Titusville Florida a little town
5:03
which is pretty much known for one thing
5:05
the space Community NASA Kennedy Space
5:08
Center which is actually right past
5:10
there if our peripheral vision could see
5:13
past that building we would see some of
5:15
the structures at Kennedy Space Center
5:17
so look at this this building is an
5:20
original building from the late 1950s
5:23
60s when Johnny Weiss Mueller took over
5:26
this property the original Tarzan from
5:29
TV and the movies was right here and all
5:31
of this acreage was his dream his theme
5:34
park a tropical Wonderland SL Zoo SL
5:38
theme parks they had boat rides they had
5:40
train rides they had monkeys monkeys
5:43
definitely they had among all the other
5:45
animals they had they had a full-fledged
5:47
Zoo pretty much that was more tropical
5:49
themed monkeys birds reptiles snakes um
5:53
they may have even had a couple other
5:54
more exotic animals maybe I've heard
5:56
word that there may have been like a
5:58
lion or a tiger or two and a bear maybe
6:00
a oh my that sounds dramatic and tell me
6:03
a story about these monkeys when the
6:05
place closed in 19 was it 73 I think it
6:08
was might have been 1979 the place9 so
6:11
Magic Kingdom Walt Disney World came in
6:13
in 71 so in that 8ye period This Place
6:17
slowly declined the place closed and did
6:20
they ship all the animals and monkeys
6:21
off to other zoos and other people who
6:23
wanted them actually no they um when
6:26
this place closed they ended up having
6:28
um it was pretty much they just kind of
6:30
left it bare for a while they had the
6:32
animals taken care of for a little bit
6:34
but actually as it started to you know
6:36
decline even more they didn't really
6:38
take care of it too much so some of the
6:39
animals actually escaped when I was a
6:41
kid I heard a lot of stories about there
6:42
being monkeys in the woods surrounding
6:44
this place wild monkey well technically
6:46
they weren't wild well it depends if but
6:48
they became wild again they were
6:50
originally wild they were captured for
6:52
the zoo and then if they were bred maybe
6:55
The Offspring of the unwi if you're unwi
6:58
and you have a child
7:00
it can become wild so technically I'm
7:02
very confused on the wildness one thing
7:05
I'm not confused about that is one of
7:07
the other structures that still exists
7:09
out here was the snake house or the
7:11
snake pit something to do with snakes
7:14
yeah was there Snake and reptile
7:15
facility snake and reptile facility I
7:18
like to call those things a snake pit
7:20
but the actual original building prepare
7:23
yourself
7:25
shun is right there if you look on the
7:28
old Maps do some old research you will
7:30
find this is the actual structure from
7:33
back in the day Johnny Weiss Mueller's
7:36
tropical Wonderland snake snake pit is
7:40
what I'm calling it was right there look
7:43
at that structure it almost looks like a
7:45
slithering SL snake head if you look at
7:48
it just right you got to have a lot of
7:49
imagination but it does look like
7:51
doesn't it look like a snake head trying
7:53
to bite out and draw us bottom two poles
7:56
or
7:57
fangs and check this out if put a fence
8:00
up they put a bunch of palm trees which
8:02
probably grown naturally some Ferns and
8:04
stuff and they've actually converted
8:06
this entire property which back there
8:08
there was actually a ferris wheel
8:10
probably Where the wild west show was
8:13
back in there this whole area has been
8:15
leveled bulldozed and now they're using
8:17
it for a storage area for 18-wheeler
8:20
trucks and Mach heavy machinery I should
8:23
actually get up on there as well climb
8:25
up on top of
8:26
here yeah I think this side here was the
8:28
Dodge City area it was kind of their Old
8:30
West theme they had daily shootouts and
8:33
they had uh different kind of stage
8:34
coach shows where they would come out
8:36
and you could ride in the stage coach
8:37
they would actually jump on and kind of
8:39
take over the stage coach this was more
8:41
their tropical area this is where the
8:42
zoo was more located so the zoo over
8:45
here and then all the other theming the
8:47
sparis wheel back there the wild west
8:49
stuff a train the restaurant if you look
8:52
on the map you'll see Johnny Weiss
8:53
Muer's restaurant that was the original
8:55
building that was on that so picture we
8:57
were standing up on there which we could
8:59
not go from that angle looking down this
9:03
way if you look at that handrawn map of
9:06
the property back when it was open it
9:08
would be from that angle looking down on
9:10
the far right bottom corner of that map
9:13
that you find by Googling Johnny weisser
9:15
tropical Wonderland you would see the
9:17
first building which was the restaurant
9:19
then you would see how much wonderful
9:22
touristy goodness things were all
9:24
through here ending with the snake pit
9:28
area right over there then there was a
9:30
parking lot they actually had a boat
9:32
ride and from what I've heard there's
9:34
actually remnants of the water way that
9:36
the boat I'm a big fan of theme parks
9:39
and boat rides I love train rides dark
9:42
rides and boat rides those are my Holy
9:46
Grail Trilogy if you will of fantastic
9:50
Roadside Attraction things I would have
9:53
loved to come out here when this place
9:54
was actually open unfortunately is it is
9:57
not open and I've heard they really do
9:59
not want people rooting around the
10:01
property because people in that back
10:02
corner are storing things of value and
10:05
they do not want people coming out here
10:07
vandalizing and stealing that stuff in
10:10
that far right corner of the property so
10:15
I think that guy actually might have
10:16
some stuff stored back there but we're
10:19
going to take you up closer to what did
10:23
you call the snake pit I call it the
10:24
snake pit what did you call it again
10:25
well on their map it's just known as
10:26
like their snake Hut the snake Hut not
10:29
job of the Hut no imagine I wonder if
10:32
job of the Hut was some weird form of of
10:34
a deformed snake kind of you could kind
10:37
depending on which version yeah which
10:40
depending on which version of George
10:42
lucas' CGI remastered version he could
10:45
have been considered a slithering snake
10:47
he did have the personality of a yeah
10:49
exactly so here is the parking lot here
10:52
is the snake Hut right
10:56
here man that look at that that is
10:58
awesome
11:12
structure I think these stairs were
11:12
actually added on probably in the 60s it
11:14
wasn't here opening day like this just
11:16
this format was opening day in 1959
11:19
right yeah on that map it just shows it
11:20
with just the archway here no stairs yet
11:23
so the stairs were added later the
11:24
stairs have definitely been here a while
11:31
oh what's going on over there is there a
11:31
guy fighting over there I don't know I
11:34
think we have a discrepancy a little bit
11:35
of road rage if you will right across
11:38
the road those two gentlemen are
11:40
exchanging words whoa some profanities
11:44
look at
11:51
this some excitement for the day yeah
11:51
see they need some goodness in there
11:53
they need some Johnny Weiss Mueller
11:55
snake pit excitement in the form of
11:58
Tourism it's it seems they rectified
12:00
their disagreement and they have moved
12:02
on I thought we were going to have not a
12:04
video about touristy locations in
12:06
Titusville but about road rage in
12:08
Titusville you probably couldn't catch
12:10
that from a distance but we heard it
12:12
pretty clear so check this out here's
12:14
the sign right up there I think
12:16
someone's actually living in here I
12:18
thought maybe it was an office but it
12:19
looks like someone's actually living
12:21
inside of
12:22
here there's the old not a neon sign but
12:25
an old light up sign here's the old wood
12:28
structure there's a wasp nest up there
12:31
bees
12:32
nest
12:34
4710 so if people wanted to look up the
12:36
address
12:38
4710 right here what would they look up
12:42
4710 in what road uh US Highway One
12:44
it'll come up as long as you look up us
12:46
uh 4710 US Highway 1 in Titusville it
12:49
should come right to this location so
12:50
they can zoom in on where we are at this
12:53
exact moment if they wanted to right and
12:55
they could figure out where we are
12:58
follow us along
12:59
I think we're going to try to walk
13:01
around the backside and show you guys a
13:04
little more if you look at some
13:05
satellite views they actually have like
13:06
a paintball tournament thing out here
13:08
they had some like little balloony toys
13:10
for kids and a lot of this area when
13:12
they used to do the launches or when
13:14
they still do the launches I think they
13:15
just sent the Orion up from over there
13:17
right stra acoss they have this area
13:19
here where people rent it out and they
13:21
charge for parking cuz everyone wants to
13:23
see the rocket go up so they make a
13:24
gazillion dollars in one day by charging
13:26
five or $10 to park your cars all
13:29
through this property and people that
13:31
are sitting here watching the NASA
13:33
program across this body of water have
13:35
no earthly clue that they're sitting on
13:38
fantastic Florida history right through
13:42
these
13:52
Gates so it looks like the property line
13:52
for the storage area ends here you can
13:54
see this fenced off area but this is
13:57
actually where the water area The Boat
13:59
Ride part would have gone through the
14:01
woods the back tail end if you will of
14:04
the boat ride so we might actually
14:06
stumble on some water and you know what
14:08
happens in Florida with water as we
14:10
showed at the beginning of the Vlog
14:13
Gators I have you ever come across a
14:15
gator in the wild I don't think I've
14:17
ever been in the wild deep enough to
14:18
come across a gator we might run into a
14:19
gator I do not want to have my leg
14:23
feston with teeth into my shin I don't
14:27
know what's going to happen in that situ
14:29
so if you see a gator they say to run
14:32
zigzagged so who is that a
14:34
gator no I think that's a pile of dirt
14:37
oh it's a pile of it looks like a gator
14:38
head though it does it looks like the
14:39
one from the
14:45
water yeah that's just a pile of dirt
14:45
almost looks like a big ant ant mound
14:48
that might be that's an ant
14:55
bed oh yeah look at
14:55
that Stir It Up a little bit more Stir
14:57
It Up a little bit more
15:03
oh you can even see
15:03
inside if you come over here you can see
15:05
inside jump back so your shadows out of
15:06
the
15:19
way that's what we deal with here in
15:19
Florida ants we have snakes we have
15:23
Gators and we have massive red ant
15:26
beds all right let's go deeper into the
15:30
jungle Johnny see this is why you needed
15:33
a Tarzan to come out here and actually
15:36
survey this land because a normal person
15:39
like me is terrified of the swamps
15:42
Tarzan never was afraid of the swamp so
15:45
maybe that's why he decided to come into
15:47
this area and actually take over this
15:50
property look at
15:51
this I see some sort of a
15:54
moat yeah a lot of the trails that are
15:57
here are from the original they should
15:59
be from the original layout of the park
16:00
they never really changed much on this
16:02
back end here yeah why would they
16:03
because no one's really coming out this
16:05
way so if we find a trail or a body of
16:07
water it probably is an original area
16:10
from the Park yeah there's never been
16:12
anything developed past the past the
16:14
snake Hut there it's all been natural
16:16
land back here the snake pit the snake
16:18
pit the snake pits back
16:20
there that does look like a
16:47
B look at these ants as they go up this
16:47
stick this is what we're dealing with
16:49
fire ants here in Florida look at this
17:07
I do not like fire ants I do not like
17:07
walking through knee high brush when you
17:09
do not know what kind of slithering
17:11
creature of the wild is below you so the
17:15
boat area would have been through here
17:17
it looks like the moats and The Ravines
17:19
are dried up if you look at
17:22
this it looks like maybe this could have
17:24
been a ravine at some sort or what's
17:27
over here
17:38
too see all over in that area there were
17:38
a lot of buildings and restaurants think
17:40
there was like a petting zoo some gift
17:41
shops and arcade but over in this area
17:44
was basically the tar
17:47
xanes Ravines and rivers oh my gosh look
17:51
here we go we got it that's the moat
17:53
right there we found the boat ride
17:57
Waterway yes
18:07
I think we've actually found
18:07
it oh yes look at
18:18
this there you go that is definitely
18:18
where the boat ride came through You' be
18:22
on a boat looking at all the sights and
18:25
sounds on either side of you straight
18:27
down this Waterway
18:29
that is awesome this is this is the
18:32
original path too because it starts on
18:34
the other side of the snake the snake
18:36
pit area there see you're call it the
18:38
snake pit I've converted you to the
18:40
snake pit but yeah it starts on that end
18:43
down there and it comes all the way
18:44
around this other side of the property
18:45
here so I wouldn't doubt if we followed
18:47
this around if we wanted to it would go
18:48
all the way around so this was probably
18:50
added later cuz before the boats would
18:52
actually go in a full circle so this
18:54
little walkway where they could drive
18:55
the cars over it was probably added
18:58
after fact so they could actually get
19:00
vehicles across here I think it was
19:02
actually a full circular boat ride that
19:05
went all the way around like you were
19:06
saying went this way circled all the way
19:10
around that is awesome I had no idea we
19:13
were actually going to find this the
19:15
Waterway area so that's actually really
19:17
awesome you could tell there was a
19:19
building here that's either burned down
19:21
or been torn down like I was saying way
19:23
over there that's all fenced off that's
19:25
where they do not want you going because
19:28
people have private property over there
19:30
uh trucks and their storage areas but no
19:33
idea that all this stuff here was still
19:35
out here especially that water area
19:38
which makes me pretty excited I get
19:39
excited about really small insignificant
19:42
things to most but history is a big part
19:44
of my life especially theme park history
19:46
so this is very cool and very exciting
19:49
have you ever actually been wandering
19:50
around out here recently not recently I
19:52
came out here as a kid kind of wasn't
19:54
able to come all the way out because
19:56
obviously it's been owned by any kind of
19:58
private owner for a long time now but um
20:00
I've been out here as a kid but there
20:02
was a a paintball place there so it was
20:04
kind of hard to stay focused when you
20:05
hear all day long yeah very true you
20:07
don't know if they're shooting at you or
20:09
they're shooting at the ghost of Johnny
20:11
Weiss
20:16
Mueller according to the map there
20:16
should be what was left of the Alligator
20:19
Pit somewhere on this section the
20:20
Alligator Pit yeah it's even Lo it's
20:22
labeled on the map so I figured it
20:24
should be somewhere back here cuz it's
20:26
almost directly back from the actual
20:28
snake Hut snake pit lotss of pits we're
20:32
in the pits of the pits of Despair from
20:35
Princess Bride this is awesome was going
20:38
to do a full main Channel video of this
20:40
place but let's be honest look at it
20:42
there really is not a lot left there's
20:44
not a lot of video footage from back in
20:46
those days not a lot of photos there are
20:49
a few photos but pretty much one or two
20:51
that hopefully you have actually
20:53
downloaded or you're looking at as we
20:55
wander the property if you see anything
20:57
in the background that maybe we missed
20:59
or if you say Hey you actually walked
21:00
right over this area leave some comments
21:03
down below I love when people chime in
21:05
live vicariously I love showing things
21:07
teaching things and I love when you guys
21:10
leave comments as well and share things
21:12
with me that I didn't know that I can
21:14
learn later on as the video is done got
21:17
more of the boat ride y
21:19
here they must have filled it in on the
21:21
other end to not to be able to drive
21:23
over it but it looks like they've
21:25
they've left a lot more of it here this
21:27
should be the other half of it
21:32
so the full circle has been actually
21:32
closed
21:33
up yeah cuz it would only continue that
21:35
far cuz with the property line being
21:37
right there this should be the other
21:39
what would be the other half of
21:41
it too bad we don't have a canoe we
21:43
could actually take the boat ride
21:44
ourselves imagine dragging a canoe back
21:46
in here I wonder if the boat ride was a
21:49
canoe or if it was actually like a a
21:51
theme more probably more of a themed or
21:54
maybe it was a canoe we're talking 1959
21:56
1960 it could have been have been very
21:59
Primal when it came to tourism and
22:02
theming if you will so maybe it was a
22:04
canoe but just think of all the tourist
22:07
back in the day right here in this water
22:17
area an exhibit here there looks like
22:17
what could have been concrete along the
22:19
side oh yeah look at
22:20
that you're right good eye on that one
22:24
yeah if you look at this awesome tree
22:25
look at this tree this is something out
22:27
of a movie out of almost Tarzan if you
22:29
will look at the Majesty of this tree in
22:32
these roots straight ahead and as he was
22:35
pointing out where the roots end and the
22:37
boat ride starts you can see some sort
22:39
of a concrete or some sort of a shell
22:42
that comes out maybe that was the dock
22:44
maybe this is where they loaded the boat
22:47
ride who
22:48
knows a lot of this is speculation a lot
22:51
of this is our
22:53
imagination you really do not know but
22:55
that is an awesome that is an awesome
22:57
tree
22:59
that might be my favorite thing out here
23:00
is that treez that's pretty
23:05
fantastic I can imagine how much bigger
23:05
it would have been if it didn't break
23:07
here too and probably at one time it was
23:08
probably the center point of the park
23:11
which is probably why they built that
23:12
little dock there or whatever that was
23:14
that came out from the roots
23:22
wow all of these are all original paths
23:22
they've just continued to keep using
23:23
them just keep using the same path this
23:24
is where people walked in the 1960s
23:27
1970s as part of this park so it almost
23:30
makes me feel a little nostalgic little
23:33
I'm only years old so before I was born
23:36
here's some more waterways here there's
23:39
waterways all over this might just be
23:40
like a regular
23:42
like I don't know maybe some kind of
23:44
either a sewage area or no that might
23:46
have been part of it as well it's hard
23:49
to
23:50
tell I think this might be it's quite
23:58
mystery' be nice if we could can find
23:58
some of the train tracks They had a
24:00
train ride that went all the way around
24:01
this property here but years ago my
24:04
father came out here and he said a lot
24:05
of it was already defunk they had
24:06
already pulled a lot of the track up and
24:08
all the train cars that were here have
24:10
pretty much disapp probably scrapped it
24:11
sold it for scrap metal who knows
24:13
there's a lot of vandalism that happens
24:15
out here too this became a party spot
24:16
for a lot of people in like the early
24:17
80s so it was probably a lot of it has
24:20
been taken I wouldn't doubt stolen as
24:23
love MOS of their past little homages to
24:27
their youth
24:30
you can hear the trucks starting up over
24:37
there drop in the middle of this place
24:37
that is weird you want to donate some
24:39
clothes that's the place to do
24:47
it there's the continuation of the boat
24:47
path
24:52
there this is pretty awesome I've
24:52
actually been out here quite a few times
24:53
wandering around and always stopped at
24:55
the gate and thought actually I'm not
24:56
going to go in but today we got the
24:59
gumption me and you together as a team
25:02
decided we're finally going to walk in
25:04
there and see what we can find and we've
25:07
done it we've actually done our duty and
25:09
walked around here seen what there is to
25:12
be seen which is not much where for
25:14
people who are a fan of old theme parks
25:16
or Florida history this means a lot to
25:19
me hopefully to you I know it means a
25:20
lot to you oh yeah so watch this back
25:23
download that picture the information I
25:26
gave you just Google it you can find
25:28
some really cool old articles other
25:30
people have done blogs out here on the
25:33
property as well more informative than
25:36
my rambling incoherent unedited Vlog I'm
25:40
glad you were here to actually chime in
25:42
with some of the info and
25:44
cough right there in the
25:46
Vlog thing about unedited Vlogs is
25:49
sometimes you have to wipe the spit off
25:51
your mouth you have to cough you have to
25:53
sneeze or you have to belch like you no
25:56
belching yet who what is this
26:05
whoa look Birds oh look up there it's an
26:05
osprey with a
26:15
fish that was an osprey with a fish and
26:15
I know I got the sun in that people do
26:17
leave comments saying stop filming the
26:19
sun you're a professional I am not a
26:21
professional and the way these Vlogs
26:23
they always work I'm showing all kind of
26:24
stuff so sorry if in the Vlogs the glare
26:28
sometimes is bothersome I do not mean to
26:30
get the sun in there but I'm all over
26:32
the place I get excited sometimes I'm
26:34
not focusing on holding the camera
26:35
straight I'm more excited about what I'm
26:37
laying my eyes on like this metal cone
26:44
full of grass out of the top that looks
26:47
like it might be an inh
26:58
now looks like a dunce cap it does I
26:58
wouldn't put that on though cuz it
26:59
probably has so many ants in it there's
27:02
so many red ants which is actually kind
27:05
of unusual because summer is
27:08
over and usually the red ants go away oh
27:11
my
27:12
gosh there's termites there
27:16
too
27:24
wow so many red ants here's more of the
27:24
Waterway there was a massive Waterway
27:28
boat ride area going all through this
27:30
property this is awesome this this Vlog
27:35
is very long we're 28 minutes in is
27:37
anyone still watching this at 28 minutes
27:40
in so far if you are I want to know
27:42
leave a comment if you're still
27:45
interested in continuing the Vlog look
27:48
at this old tree that's
27:50
falling can imagine the exhibits that
27:53
were along the river ride there with
27:55
having a boat ride I can imagine it was
27:56
a lot like Gator land or something like
27:58
that with each little area had its own
28:01
exhibit maybe one had Gators another one
28:03
was kind of in the I'm sure they were
28:05
all kind of little vestibules and
28:06
buildings all along here for
28:12
sure there's only a few pictures online
28:12
I really wish the thing about technology
28:14
of course is as the generations get
28:17
older there's more documentation of
28:18
things so we're talking 1959 to 1973 or
28:22
79 whenever it closed there wasn't a lot
28:24
of photos and videos obviously no videos
28:27
taken then so if you can find anything
28:29
that you might think I might enjoy about
28:32
Johnny Weiss Mueller's tropical
28:34
Wonderland here in Titusville be sure to
28:36
post on my Facebook page slthe daily woo
28:39
I would love to see that leave some
28:41
comments down below or get a hold of me
28:43
on Twitter or Instagram just look up
28:45
Adam the woo and you can
28:48
actually get a hold of me on there that
28:50
is some green slime that's pretty slimy
28:54
in there I think over in here was the
28:56
arcade they had the the arcade plus the
28:59
other shows as well they this where they
29:00
did the stage coach rides and the show
29:02
itself they actually had a shootout and
29:04
they advertised on the street I don't
29:06
know how socially acceptable it is
29:08
nowadays but it said that there were
29:09
actual shootouts and real hangings so I
29:12
could imagine that was a an odd draw to
29:15
this place gosh we got to get out of
29:17
here before that comes back around
29:18
that's one of they say that Trends come
29:20
around every few decades that's a trend
29:23
I don't want happening I don't think I'd
29:25
want to see that I Val that's one of the
29:26
things that just needs to stay in the
29:28
past I don't need that happening to us
29:31
out here of course technically we're not
29:33
really supposed to be out here so they
29:35
might have the right to hang us from one
29:38
of these trees and if I had to choose
29:40
not that I'm hoping that happens but I
29:42
would choose that epic tree back over
29:44
there yes and not that I really want to
29:47
end this on a negative negative note oh
29:49
you know I think over here that used to
29:51
actually be a foundation that someone
29:55
found of where
29:58
either a building was or the arcade was
30:00
at one time used to be right over in
30:01
here of course now it's probably all
30:02
grown
30:08
over yeah it looks like it's all grown
30:08
over now used to be right in this
30:19
area there had to have been at least 20
30:19
30 buildings in this area all each one
30:21
had its own little exhibit or show in it
30:24
and this place actually looked a lot
30:25
like a neighborhood at one point because
30:27
of how full it was they had what looked
30:29
like city city or small town streets um
30:32
I mean they had traffic going through it
30:34
with their own Vehicles there was a
30:35
train ride that ran through here um
30:37
actually around this whole perimeter of
30:39
this area which doesn't exist at all
30:42
anymore yeah train tracks are gone
30:43
trains are gone the old foundation of
30:45
the arcade is gone so all you have to go
30:48
off of are old pictures that you dig up
30:50
online the Vlog that we just presented
30:52
to you thanks to Daniel for helping me
30:55

30:57

30:59
would not have remembered I do a
31:01
different Vlog every day of wonderful
31:02
wacky places sometimes they're abandoned
31:04
sometimes they're old roadside
31:05
attractions sometimes they're movie
31:07
locations sometimes sometimes they just
31:08
me rambling about nothing and sometimes
31:11

31:13
apple a decayed
31:17
Apple where's
31:24
