here on this little area oh there's a
4:57
lot of excitement up there on that train
4:59
we're gonna have to really step up our
5:00

5:03
they were gonna have a good example of
5:06
all right we still gotta bring our
5:07
a-game on we're gonna break we're gonna
5:08
bring it off

little water well that does not have a
5:16
13th floor
5:18
yeah only 11 12 and 14. they have
5:21

6:49
around
7:00
i don't need to start something new i
7:00
put it around front and just not remove

7:05
not look at the gun go go we're going
7:07
over the top over the top over the top
8:09
oh no
8:09
oh my god i was told the best
8:12
thing you were warned oh no
8:15
this is terrible
8:17
at the very end mr bones he grabbed your
8:20
hands took away my hat i can't i should
8:22
have
8:23
removed them
8:31
i should have held on to my hats and
8:31
glasses i should have
8:37
you learned your lesson
8:37
oh i see it i see hold on it's over here
8:40
around the corner it's right down there
8:42
right there i can see it
8:45
oh dang
8:47
lost and found's gonna get themself a
8:48
little bit of a relic oh don't run over
8:51
it
8:52
don't run over it
8:53
it's right down there around the corner
8:55
you have to kind of stand on this corner
8:56
to kind of see it
8:57
maybe someone could lean out the train
9:00
and pick it up almost right there just
9:02
lean over please sir right down there
9:05
right down
9:06
there dang to be honest i lost a pair of
9:10
ears during christmas time here and they
9:12
mailed them to me two weeks later all
9:14
right if anyone finds this hat
9:19
but i don't know what you'll do if you
9:19
find the hat oh someone's look someone's
9:21
glasses those aren't mine
9:26
apparently this is a wild spot both
9:26
warnings prove it
9:29
heed the warning of the old i always
9:31
joke around about removing your hats and
9:33
glasses i didn't realize it was a real
9:35
thing
9:38
now they did say
9:40
i could come back over at close they
9:42
cannot stop the ride until the park
9:44
closes at 10 so
9:46
that'd be kind of a fun adventure to see
9:48
if my hat's still there hours from now
9:51
if not what is to buy another one that's
9:53
a grand circle tour for you
9:55
chalk that one up
9:56
to the goat on big thunder that ram to
9:59
be sporting an angel's cap
10:05
it was bound to happen
10:06
all these times i've never lost hats or
10:09
glasses i think one time i did lose
10:11
glasses okay i've never lost a hat
10:14
but i did this time
10:16
it happens
10:20
right
10:20
i don't like to talk about that
10:22
well i don't have to worry about losing
10:24
a hat on the icy slopes and the icy
10:26
peaks of the matterhorn but if i do have
10:28
my glasses on i could lose those but you
10:31
know i don't have to worry about losing
10:32
a hat because i've already lost my hand
10:35
okay it's time to go see harold the yeti
10:41
that's the yeti's name on the matterhorn
10:41
so i'm told also they have put up a wall
10:43
around the submarines are the submarines
10:46
going away will there no longer be
10:49
nemo subs or any so subs of that
10:52
fashion make your own decision i'm going
10:53
to be sitting all the way in the back
10:55
seat of this bobsled right there going
10:58
on backseat all right heading in
11:36
where's harold i can hear harold
11:36
i can almost smell him
11:38
i can smell harold whoa
11:50
the back is very rough
11:52
oh my goodness
12:06
oh my gosh
12:25
oh my goodness oh
12:25
i don't remember the bathroom
12:32
oh there was someone else's hat back
12:32
there
12:35
they didn't best remove them
12:53
oh the bathroom oh
12:56
i need a chiropractor
12:57
i need a chiropractor stash
13:00
is that that's the word
13:02
yes yeah
13:03
i cannot i can't really acknowledge if i
13:06
love or dislike this just because of the
13:09
back pain
13:12
what's the secret to not i mean i'm tall
13:14
i'm six foot three and i am non-slender
13:17
would that help if maybe i was like a
13:19
little thinner you need to okay so this
13:21
is the back seat you don't want to put
13:24
your back on the seat you have to kind
13:25
of lean forward and say you ride with
13:27
the turn oh when you're in the little
13:29
but the back seat's rougher the back
13:31
seat is really rough when you're in the
13:32
middle when i sit in the middle seat
13:34
it's pretty good it's not as bad but i
13:36
will say
13:37
not leaning your body weight back
13:39
against it
13:45
see listen to those yells
13:45
that is that is that is painful
13:48
that is that is not yes
13:51
how did you do oh man
13:53
i was i even had problems in the lift
13:54
hill we hit it
14:00
i do love this attraction but goodness
14:00
it's a little rough i ride it to feel
14:03
something
14:04
you definitely feel something
14:11
ah it's evidently not going away we'll
14:11
be resurfacing
14:14
in the winter time be resurfacing
14:21
talking about the submarines
14:21
and your guess is as good as mine
14:23
when the matters are not matterhorn the
14:25
matterhorn's here but your guess is as
14:27
good as mine when the monorail will
14:29
start to rear its head once again maybe
14:32
winner of 21 like nemo and friends

star wars land my favorite spots to
23:34
watch the fireworks
23:36
over the spires
23:42

23:42
route 55
23:43

a little homage for that
23:48
i also bought a one-day ticket for this
23:50
i have a five-day ticket which expires
23:52
at the end of the year but once you
23:54
start using a five-day you only have 13
23:57
days whoa
23:58
it's broken down
24:00
you only have 13 days to use it oh no
24:02
someone stopped up here you only have 13
24:04
days to use it since i'm going to
24:06
florida
24:07
very very very soon we'll be out there
24:08
for a while i'll be back here in
24:10
september for haunt season probably will
24:12
not use my five-day ticket really until
24:15
later in the year now i know they just
24:17
they started a new annual pass holder
24:19
program called magic key
24:22
which i don't exactly know how that
24:24
works but i probably at some point end
24:26
up getting that but might not even get
24:28
that until late this year early into
24:30
next year after i use my five-day
24:33
ticket so today i purchased a one-day
24:35
ticket just felt like going to to
24:37
disneyland before leaving to florida and
24:40

24:53
without ever even wearing a baseball cap
24:54
i go through phases i've been wearing
24:57

25:04
thunder mountain railroad i should have
25:05
best removed them or at least whoa oh
25:15

25:24
which before there were annual pass
25:26
holders everyone referred to themselves
25:28
as an ap
25:29
now are they going to be mks because i
25:31
always call mk

25:36
mks which is the new aps
25:40
