22:37
they shot a music video it got a how
22:41
long does the white shoes spray their
22:42

38:24
technician guy gets eaten
38:26
his Pat's watching from underneath him
38:28
he pulls like the
38:31
stuff from the car on it should give the
38:33
scent off if it doesn't get
38:35
that where the dinosaur does it
38:38
no worries that haven't happened right
38:39
here around the corner
38:46
built specifically for the film here's
38:49
some blues
38:51
hey maybe not Blues I mean they are blue
38:52
but that's not that's not the blue
38:59
we'll take a look you can still
38:59
you watch that clip you can see the
39:01
scratch marks are still the same
39:16
freaking awesome is this I feel like I'm
39:16
in the Jurassic World ride
39:30
I think there's an angle where Chris
39:30
Pratt and the other guy are like right
39:32
here looking up
39:33
camera was down
39:35
pointing down at him
39:37
you can see that these markings still
39:39
the same markings
40:45
this is just so dang cool I love filming
40:45
locations it's just the beauty of this
40:47
place is incredible
41:15
um the guys things like indenting out
41:15
here oh yeah
41:33
pretty wild what a backdrop if there's
41:35
mountains back there too
42:23
dinosaurs are looking at me
42:23
all right
42:42
it is from the road
42:42
to somebody's residency is another
42:43
cooler level
42:46
that's very employees in good standing I
42:48
like myself
42:58
cage now this is one of the cameras is a
42:58
foreclosure
43:11
anyways that's supposed to be the eye of
43:11
the giant ball you know the back of
43:15
Cleveland law here
43:44
then if you guys gotta catch a shuttles
43:44
we're trying to check in there right now
43:46
all right that was awesome it's called
43:49
Maha
43:54
Omaha
43:54
oh my God Trevor
43:56
it was really really good and it's a
43:58
different tour than Mom did last time
44:00
she was here same area but did not do
44:03
the Jurassic so you saw some stuff you
44:05
didn't see last time right
44:17
I I highly recommend that it was good it
44:17
was like I think it was about 140 a
44:19
person it was a two and a half hour tour
44:22
and we saw a lot of filming locations
44:23
and I would equate the bumpiness if
44:25
you're familiar with going to Animal
44:26
Kingdom the Safari I think it's the same
44:29
kind of bumpiness there's one or two
44:30
times there's a little more extreme than
44:31
that but normally the whole time so if
44:33
you've been on the Safari at Animal
44:34
Kingdom at Walt Disney World it was that
44:37
kind of bumpiness which I thought it was
44:39
going to be a lot more fun I liked it I
44:41
loved it
44:43
well two and a half hours the only thing
44:46
I would say
44:47
it's a good thing I use the facilities
44:49
beforehand because those two and a half
44:51
hours you do not stop for a restroom so
44:53
don't drink a lot of coffee like you
44:55
drink a lot of coffee before all right
44:57
twenty dollars cash no tax
45:00
this is the photo that we got
45:03
before heading in
45:05
giving a little a little souvenir
