in here to get a view of some of this
1:16
Scary Farm props that are being set up
1:20
and preparing itself for the monsters to
1:23
roll through

1:36
and take a look at this the log ride is
1:39
not quite operational at this moment and
1:42
they have the pumpkins out which makes
1:43
me wonder are they going to be putting
1:45
scare actors and creatures of the night
1:48
on this like they have in the past or is
1:51
it just going to be the overlay stuff
1:52
the mine train ride they are doing a
1:55
candy mountain overlay but I'm not sure
1:57
about this it'd be pretty cool if they
1:59
kind of did a throwback you see the
2:01
waters not the water's not dropping
2:03
right now so I'm not gonna be able to do
2:04
the wall Drive yeah so all the set
2:05
dressing is in full effect waiting for
2:08
the monsters to come out soon it starts
2:10
a lot later than hhm like two weeks
2:12
later oh my God oh my gosh look over
2:14

2:33
is going to be all the different mazes
2:34

2:55

2:58
like this look at this one maybe I
3:00
should get one of these to wear on
3:02
opening night that would be kind of cool
3:04
look at this not has the K with a little
3:06
hand a little skeleton skin skeleton
3:09
hand on it right there and I think it's
3:10
kind of neat that they have the Elvira
3:12
shirt over here but then they have also
3:15
Vampira over here rarely you'll see
3:17
merchandise of the two of them side by
3:19
side like this well within a few feet
3:22
pretty neat all right I gave it a
3:24
temptation of getting the shirt to wear
3:27
an appropriate shirt on that Eve they
3:29
also have these Lounge look at this
3:31
match has a lounge floor they showed
3:33
these and they announced these and
3:35
unveiled the view of these at mid-summer
3:38
screen when I was there now there's also
3:40
look at this there's also a spirit
3:42
jersey has not ever had a spirit jersey
3:44
before they do now this is what I'm
3:46
talking about see into the fall the
3:50
universal took something similar to that
3:53
and said see you in the fog
3:57
that's a gray area oh so this is going
4:00
to be a good year half a century of this
4:03
event think about that isn't that wild
4:05
half is 50 years it's 50 years to you
4:08
and look at that big spider on the back
4:10
of that one oh that's frightened
4:13
two I think I like the one I got better
4:16
actually the one I got actually has the
4:18
50 on it too and a small spider web a
4:20
little more non-descript but it is date
4:21
stamped with the 50. like this one
4:24
that's just in your face this is the
4:26
tribute store through here years of
4:30
memories I've been going to this event I
4:32
think since
4:33
2013. so I definitely have not been
4:35
going the entire extent of it so this
4:37
might be my 10th year yeah I think this
4:39
might be my 10th year I think the first
4:41
year I went was in 2013. that's kind of
4:43
cool take a look at that the lanterns
4:45
are a new thing they're going to be
4:46
unveiling this year no pun intended
4:49
because it's out of the veil unveiling
4:52
yes is a ghost horse how cool is this
4:55
Scary Farm opoly it's a Monopoly game
4:57
based around
4:59
knots
5:01
this is all located over here in the
5:04
factory and you don't want to be scared
5:06
they have a no boo neck I'll show all
5:07
this when the event happens the
5:09
festivities will be beginning very very
5:12
shortly nine days from now give or take
5:15
eight or nine nine days nine days and
5:17
next thing in the park I'm gonna go buy
5:18
another one of the new stores for this
5:20
event but first i'm gonna pop in the
5:21
Starbucks give myself a piping hot
5:23
caffeinated are those
5:26
all right exited out of the Starbucks I
5:28
wish got a regular Pike's Place with a
5:30
little bit of cream and sugar in it it's
5:32
also interesting they have the you are
5:34
here mugs for California in there but
5:36
I've said this before I wish that they
5:37

5:43
they're called now because you can get
5:44
them from different states you can get
5:45
them for Disneyland get them for
5:47

5:49
and they're just kind of like a historic
5:52
Place Celebration Florida I kind of wish
5:54
would have went to it that Starbucks too
5:55
I feel like they would sell enough to
5:57
justify coming up with uh coming up with
6:00
the template to make them

9:08
Elvira's alley never-ending nightmares
9:11
kind of hoping Elvira would come back
9:13
out this year out of retirement to do
9:15
her performance but they didn't announce
9:16
anything like that so if it happens
9:17
it'll definitely be a surprise this was
9:21
the couch used in 2017 her final
9:23
performance for Elvira Mistress of the
9:25
darker final show was on Halloween 2000
9:28

9:34
ago that was six years ago and some of
9:36
the posters over here and look you could
9:38
look into the fog see you in the fog
9:41
which isn't knots anymore that's another
9:43
another Corporation this would be into
9:45
the fog look at this this is so all
9:50
right that is
9:52
they stepped up their game I mean not
9:55
that their game wasn't already stepped
9:56
up but they stepped it up another notch
9:57
50 years of one of the best haunts in
10:01
SoCal or in the US yeah this is like a
10:03
full-on museum handmade price from 2012.

10:09
Labyrinth from 08 the Mine ride ghost
10:11
Decor from the 70s right there look at
10:16
this right here
10:18
really going full down in the history of
10:21
this entire event through here they even
10:24
over in the corner over so past all this
10:27
section they even have a whole area
10:29
dedicated to Sinister Seymour right
10:33

10:36
began
10:38

10:41
uh hold on a call mannequin but in in
10:43
his own wax form and unlike Walt they
10:47
don't Photoshop out the cigarette here

10:51

10:54
opening night in this event keeper
11:05
creepy wind blowing through here you got
11:05
the cobwebs
11:07

11:14
theming done
11:16
well to say
11:18
hi how to just get out of here's the
11:21
salon
11:22
not this thought a hair salon Saloon
11:24
otherwise I don't like the salon like
11:26
that but I don't know I think about
11:29
getting a haircut
11:30
many years ago gosh it's probably been
11:33
10 years ago now
11:35
first meet up I ever did was right over
11:37
here also there's some ducks right here
11:39
a few Ducks hello ducks
11:43
this is about as many people that were
11:46
at the first Meetup that they weren't
11:47
dogs there were people at the Meetup
11:49
there's probably like a dozen people
11:51
and I still remember showing up here
11:54
and just thinking wow a dozen people
11:57
took time out of their day to commute
12:00
and travel to just say hi
12:03
yeah
12:04
I believe I did an unedited video back
12:07
in the unedited video guys it's probably
12:08
2013 14. Camera 12 13 14-ish it's been a
12:12
while and I went right up the top there
12:15
started the video right up there
12:25
my first trip to SoCal
12:25
oh I'm gonna do a meet up I announced I
12:27
was gonna do a meet up at this time
12:28
posted some stuff about it that
12:29
mentioned to some videos
12:35
and some of the people I met that day
12:35
still no to this day
12:37
kind of knee how that works
12:45
well I've got a lot of good on the
12:45
internet there's a lot of bad too
12:46
there's a lot of stuff you got to Wade
12:48
through and you got to deal with a lot
12:49
of stuff but all in all
12:51
90 90 good 90 positive
12:55
when you put good stuff out there or try
12:57
to anyway
12:59
this is a recreation
13:00
of Independence Hall
13:02
right across from knots it's on Knott's
13:04
property
13:10
knots is over there it's actually close
13:10
to the parking area where I parked today
13:12
entering the structure the parking
13:15
structure the Disneyland
13:18
parking structure from One Orange County
13:20
theme park
13:22
to another
13:27
Park hopping
13:27
two different team Parks you get the
13:30
idea you get what I'm saying yeah this
13:32
is what you call Crow hour here at the
13:35
park here at Disneyland you get all the
13:37
crows making their way in across
13:40
Downtown Disney and heading over into
13:42
Disneyland I will be kind of following
13:44
them when I started the Disneyland Hotel
13:46
this is like I guess you call it like
13:48
magic hours kind of the glistening hours
13:50
the crows are Mega the birds I guess
13:52
they're I call them crows they're crows
13:54
yeah you could just see them right there
13:56
coming up to the sunset is kind of
13:57
Dipping over there across the horizon
14:00
then you got all the birds right up
14:03
there heading over down through downtown
14:05
Disney
14:06
look at all look at all Hitchcock would
14:08
be
14:10
proud of the crows there goes the
14:14
monorail water slide and this is the
14:17
soon to be open new DVC Tower here at
14:19
the Disneyland Resort with the
14:21
Disneyland Hotel DVC tower that could
14:23
built this complete thing it's going to
14:25
be opening at the end of the month and
14:26
I'm hopefully going to be staying there
14:28
before year end in the very I don't get
14:31
too many spoilers but I will be staying
14:33
there if all goes well good Lord willing
14:34
and the creek don't rise I will be
14:36
staying there I want to walk over the
14:37
little closer but you can't even get
14:38
over there now you can't get right up to
14:40
it still kind of all stanchioned off but
14:42
look at the color palette difference
14:43
between this and the original Three
14:46
Towers so you got that tower that tower
14:49
that Tower and then the new tower stands
14:52
out and this is interesting to move this
14:54
topiary used to be over there they moved
14:56
it to here because of the construction
14:57
wall and the geyser is where I forgot
14:59
the geyser was back here and across the
15:01
way there over in the frontier Tower is
15:04
a scale model of Big Thunder Mountain
15:06
Railroad which kind of puts me in the
15:08
room mood to go on Big Thunder Mountain
15:10
railroad it's like one of my favorite
15:12
favorite attractions let me check the
15:14
wait time and see but just like looking
15:15
at the
15:16
looking at the scale model
15:18
really kind of makes me want to go on
15:20
Big Thunder Mountain I haven't been in
15:22
this little Frontier Tower to see the
15:23
scale model in a while but it's in here
15:25
in all its Glory
15:27
and just like it's a it's like it looks
15:29
exactly like the real attraction at
15:31
least the Disneyland version that's this
15:32
is the Disneyland version because it's
15:34
at Disneyland obviously the Disney World
15:36
version is moderately different but
15:38
there is a scale model
15:39
yeah I'm gonna head I'm gonna head in
15:41
I'm gonna check out the wait times for
15:42
Big Thunder and do it kind of
15:44
interesting when you look at the
15:45
directory here I always try to point
15:46
this out they haven't changed it yet so
15:48
you got the Pinocchio parking which used
15:50
to be flat parking and they built the
15:52
Pixar the Pixar uh structure next to
15:56
Mickey and friends so Pinocchio that is
15:58
a relic right there this is one of the
15:59
few things that's still shown on
16:01
property that shows it used to be called
16:03
the Pinocchio lot in fact I parked at
16:05
the former Pinocchio lot but anyway yeah
16:08
construction update the sorcerer's cap
16:11
is being refurbed
16:17
all right this is something I don't know
16:17
if I've ever done if I have it's been
16:19
very rare but taking the monorail end of
16:21
the park
16:22
in the evening hours I've done the
16:24
monorail here at Disneyland during the
16:26
day but never in the evening so I think
16:29
I think I'm gonna do it yeah I'm gonna
16:31
wait for it to pull around here yeah I
16:33
don't know 45 minutes for Big Thunder
16:34
maybe I won't be doing Pig thunder after
16:37
all possibly I don't know 45 it was a
16:40
there's a Nat on my phone there 45
16:42
minutes for Matterhorn and 90. oh look
16:46
out 90 minutes
16:49
for Mansion 65 back in Galaxy's Edge
16:53
over there for Rise 50. yeah it's pretty
16:55
much maybe I'll just be walking around I
16:57
think tonight's just going to be a
16:58
walking round I had to yeah the wait
17:00
time well fantasy doesn't look too bad
17:02
this is kind of a neat angle that you
17:04
can see the road that goes underneath
17:06
you can see that
17:14
you can see the road that goes
17:14
underneath the street
17:21
it's like a little illusion you walk
17:24
over the top of it when you're on there
17:25
you don't really notice that you're
17:27
above the road
17:29
yeah so if you go past Lego Store there
17:31
and you're walking past tortilla Joe's
17:33
and all that they're actually going
17:35
across of a road underneath
17:40
there it is pulling into
17:44
station the Monterey smaller monorail
17:47
the Walt Disney World's monorail this is
17:49
used not really so much for
17:50
transportation you could almost consider
17:52
this a ride of sorts like an attraction
17:54
of sorts Granite that you can use it to
17:57
get from point A to point B but it's not
18:00
as always
18:02
it's not as not efficient but it's not
18:06
used as much to get in and out of the
18:08
parts as you would go to TTC with Walt
18:14
everybody couldn't really place the
18:15
words I was looking for them
18:22
and it's also a little I think it's a
18:22
little shorter
18:23
and there's seats all in there not as
18:26
much there's no standing room
18:28
really stand up and this one is like you
18:30
can at the WWE
18:35
and what's happening the doors aren't
18:35
opening
18:37
one got off
18:39
that's weird
18:41
no one exited the monorail maybe one was
18:43

18:44
packing up how the doors wouldn't open
18:47
until they backed it up a couple inches
18:56
there it is there it is that's what it
18:56
was and it doesn't look like I'm gonna
18:59
be getting on this one so
19:00
I should have gone with my first
19:02
instinct and
19:04
I'm just gonna walk it yeah I couldn't
19:06
get on it yeah hardly anybody got off
19:07
the monorail they're all going back over
19:09
to the inside the park stage so just
19:11

19:16
Disney and head over through
19:22

I can't even tell you the last time I'm
24:14
taking the train one thing I really like
24:16
about a new edition of this parking
24:18
structure is how they have the red
24:20
lights
24:21
when a spot is empty but then a green
24:24
light
24:25
when there is an open spot for example
24:28
you got the green light there and
24:30
there's an open spot
24:32
right there so when you're driving
24:33
forward you know oh there's a spot or
24:35
there's not a spot
