Today's adventure begins as soon as I go
0:03
down that escalator through that tube as
0:06
the recording of this TGIF. It is
0:08
Friday, April 11th, 2025. I have made it
0:13
to Lay World. Welcome everyone. Adam the
0:17
Woo here. This place opened in 1989. And
0:21
even from the street level looking
0:23
across also there is a some sort of a
0:26
Montreal type attraction right there.
0:28
Got to go down the escalator. Purchased
0:31
a ticket online. I believe it was
0:34
$55 US. Purchase it online. Opened in
0:38
1989. And even from street level, I am
0:41
seeing a ginormous castle that looks
0:43
similar to a Disney castle. So, you
0:46
know, you know, I'm pretty excited about
0:48
that. I'm also wearing an appropriate
0:50
t-shirt cuz I got my Mickey Mini Raaway
0:52
shirt on. I'm inviting you to join me.
0:54
Mickey Mini won't be in here, but
0:56
there'll be some other characters. Shall
1:03
you? The directions instruct me to go
1:03
down food avenue food avenue escalator
1:07
and to the Loy World Adventure. Holy
1:11
cow, look at this place. There is a hot
1:13
air balloon going up there. I mean, it's
1:16
not a real hot air balloon, but it is
1:19
evidently that is a ride going around
1:21
there. You can see it kind of going past
1:23
the
1:24
pole. All right. All right. This place
1:27
is ginormous. It is uh it is
1:31
massive. That is uh the sun is beaming
1:33
through the roof. And I need to I need
1:36
to check this out. This is the annual
1:38
pass
1:49
there. Look at this castle. There's the
1:49
hot air
1:55
balloons. I guess they have APS here,
1:55
too. All right, I am
1:58
in. I have three fast tracks, which are
2:01
three times I can do on the fast lane.
2:04
Look at this. They have like almost kind
2:05
of like little ears. Also interesting. I
2:07
scan my ticket in. There's no
2:09
checkpoints, no metal detectors, no
2:11
security, anything like that that you'd
2:13
have in the US, which I thought was
2:15
different. I haven't been to a theme
2:16
park where you just walk right in after
2:18
you scan in a long time. All right, go
2:20
ahead and uh peruse around, see what I
2:24
can find. get the a reveal from this
2:26
side as well as I was looking. You can
2:28
see this is multi levels right there. I
2:31
think the first thing I might do is a
2:33
dark ride of some sort. I should
2:35
probably get a guide map also and just
2:37
kind of get a layout of the land. Look
2:40
at all these little charact. Look at
2:41
this little guy right here waving. Oo,
2:43
is this a boat ride? Fairy tale dream
2:52
boats. Oh yeah, it's like a little boat
2:52
ride through here. Is it a log ride?
2:55
Wonder if it's like a full-on log ride
2:59
style. I think I might be a little too
3:01
big for this
3:03
one. Look at this little gnome troll
3:05
thing right here. Purple. It's got the
3:08
horns. Oh, look at this. You're right
3:11
over this torso. Look at this. You got
3:14
the feet here. Oh, that's good. That's
3:17
real good. Yeah, this is great. Kind of
3:20
has that roadside attractiony kind of
3:22
feel. old school theme park
3:33
already. Here on the level I'm on are a
3:33
lot of different shows. Like there is a
3:35
a theater 4D theater right over here.
3:38
You can watch different shows. Then you
3:39
get to the higher levels and then you
3:41
have more of the more of the attraction
3:43
style. In fact, take a look over here.
3:45
The themeing on here is just really
3:47
awesome. Look at this big windmill right
3:49
here. I love that. Oh, and the balloons
3:53
in fact are Pokemon balls. I didn't
3:54
notice that before. I figure I had to
3:56
get to the upper level. You got to go
3:57
through the gift shop. You exit and
3:59
enter through the gift shop. Look at
4:01
these little little
4:04
plushes.
4:06
26,0001 for each of those. So
4:09
cute. Look at this.
4:13
Oh, and a little different. I've never
4:15
seen ears that have little balloons on
4:17
them right there.
4:26
I'm already super happy walking around
4:26
through here. All these little
4:27
characters.
4:29
Go up the escalator now. Oh, what have I
4:32
stepped inside of? This
4:35
is
4:36
awesome. Little mini Montreal going by.
4:39
The balloons going by. It's not
4:42
incredibly busy right now.
4:45
I'm sure a little later probably get
4:48
busy, but right now it's only
4:51
10:59 probably got a few hours before
4:54
the crowds start to come in later.
4:55
Disney is like a Jack in the Beantoalk
4:57
type of thing, but honestly, it's
4:59
disguised as a sound booth for the stage
5:02
show that's right here. That's clever.
5:04
And directly below, there's not a lot of
5:05
people on it, but there is an ice
5:07
skating rink. There's only one person
5:09
down there at the moment. I'm sure
5:10
that'll fill up. But look at this cute
5:14
little transportation device that takes
5:16
you
5:16
around inside of the theme park.
5:22
They're indoor and outdoor theme park. I
5:24
spoke too soon. There's a lot of people
5:25
in line over here for the Adventures of
5:28
Sinbad. I guess I could use one of my
5:32
one of my fast pass if I so choose.
5:35
Adventures of Simbad. That's got to be a
5:36
boat ride, right? That's got to be a
5:39
boat ride.
5:41
I got I got to do this. I got to do
5:42
this. 40 minutes wait time. Take a look
5:44
at this. There's a single rider line. I
5:48
could use my magic pass or I could just
5:49
use the single rider since it's just me.
5:51
I think I'm going to use a single rider.
5:53
Oh heck yeah. Single rider. All right.
5:55
The single rider bypasses pretty much
5:58
everything. I didn't have to use my fast
6:01
pass or any of that. Oh my gosh. I am
6:04
Oh, look at this. Genie in a bottle.
6:06
There's the genie's head coming out of
6:07
there. Oh yeah, that guy's got a sweet
6:40
It's going to be a
6:40
drop. I didn't realize there was going
6:42
to be a drop. I'm going to get wet. I
6:44
did not realize
6:46
this. Full on drop right now. Oh, not
6:56
good. What is happening? I don't know,
6:56
but I freaking love
6:59
it. I am loving this so much. They're
7:03
bowing.
7:28
drop. Dragon. The dragon right there.
7:28
Oh, they're chanting. Some sort of a
7:31
chant ritual of some sort. What is going
7:34
on over here? Indiana Jones of some
7:38
sort. Temple of
7:41
Doom. Got me above that
7:46
chair. Another
8:01
drop. I am in love. Put your hands in
8:04
the water
8:06
there. Oh my god, I love this
8:25
us. All right, more chant. More
8:25
canations. It's like an evil tree.
8:34
We're coming up on another drop of some
8:34
sort. Is this a snake right here or a
8:36
dragon? No, it's a three-headed dragon.
8:38
He's fighting the three-headed dragon
8:40
right here. I think this is going to be
8:42
the drop. Pirate over here. A pirate
8:45
over there. Got her hoisted
8:47
up. Hello
8:49
there. This ride is legit. I'm not even
8:52
going to lie. This light is freaking
8:53
awesome. Very similar to Pirates of the
8:55
Caribbean. They're playing chess or
8:56
something over there. Oh, you doing all
8:58
right, buddy?
9:00
Dragon's Breath
9:07
In. This is one of the best dark rides
9:07
I've ever been
9:45
That dog's barking. What's going on with
9:45
that guy? There's like a torture
10:15
thing lasts freaking forever.
10:15
Very lengthy
10:17
ride. I've been on this thing like 12
10:19
minutes.
10:40
no serious spaceship earth type
10:42
animatronic vibes.
10:56
All right. Looks like they're using
10:56
Disneyland's technology taking the boat
10:58
up the side of this little thing
11:01
here. How freaking good is this
11:04
attraction? Awesome. Just goes on
11:06
forever and ever and ever. Oh, he's got
11:09
some treasure chest over there. Look,
11:11
he's opening the treasure
11:13
chest. There's the guy. Is it the king
11:16
of some sort?
11:19
Oh yeah, this has some serious pirate
11:21
lines. Serious.
11:37
Reminds me of the end of the Mexico
11:37
attraction before they change it for
11:39
three cavalier.
11:41
The sales pitch by all the sales
11:44
people. Okay, that was beyond awesome.
11:48
Dearest Montreal ever award goes
11:56
to I'm not going to lie. That was
11:56
probably top three best non-D Disney
12:00
dark rides I've ever been on in my life.
12:02
That was good. That was real good. Top
12:04
let's say top five. Top five. Have a
12:08
parard spot in here. Got a little train
12:11
coming through down
12:13
there. Windmill doing its thing.
12:17
There
12:19
goes the mon rail. Looks like it is on
12:22
one rail. So it
12:25
applies Pokemon balloon ride. Look like
12:29
loads over
12:36
there. There coaster in here. Coaster's
12:36
going
12:38
up. The
12:40
loop-de-loop. There is a There's a loop
12:43
on this one. See how long it takes for
12:45
him to get to the loop. All
13:06
right, I'm waiting patiently here.
13:06
Standing here. Most likely going to come
13:08
up from this direction. Go up and over.
13:11
My head
13:13
should All
13:21
right, there's another dark rideesque
13:21
type of attraction here. Pharaoh's Fury.
13:25
The ride.
13:33
All right, no single rider on this one.
13:33
So, because the line is a little
13:34
lengthy, I'm getting
13:36
the use the magic
13:47
Wonder if this is a coaster. This might
13:47
be a coaster. All right. Following this
13:49
line here, this blue line is the magic
13:52
pass line.
14:14
already. Oh, it is just like the indie
14:14
vehicles. Look at that. Only two rows,
14:17
not three though. But that is like
14:19
dinosaur and
14:25
indie. Notice how there's no bags. You
14:25
can't put anything away. You have to
14:27
just hold everything.
16:16
crocodiles. It's kind of like a mix
16:16
between Mummy and Universal, Hollywood,
16:19
and indie. DCA.
17:32
don't tourists. Why should be
17:32
tourists? That was good. That was good.
17:44
managed to get a blueberry banana
17:44
flavored smoothie from Jamba Juice. Saw
17:47
they had a Jamba and I thought, you know
17:49
what? I'll get one.
17:51
So, cheers, Jamba
17:57
Juice. Right now, I'm going to walk out.
17:57
I'm seeing this some sort of a ride
18:00
track that leads outside to Magic
18:02
Island, which I think is the outdoor
18:05
section. Think I need to be over on that
18:07
side. This is the walk back to this
18:09
side. Out in the fresh air now. Drinking
18:12
my smoothie. Pretty good. Been a while
18:14
since I had Jamba Juice. Used to always
18:15
get one at Downtown Disney in
18:17
Anaheim. Back in the day when I was
18:19
living there. It was like a go-to. But
18:21
some reason I haven't done smooth I
18:23
don't do smoothies as often. I need to
18:24
get back on the smoothie. The smoothie
18:27
track. Oh, wait a second. Wait a second.
18:32
That is a Look at this castle.
18:36
Look at this reveal. What the heck? It's
18:39
a castle. Ultimate brain freeze going on
18:42
right now.
18:44
That is definitely not a piping hot
18:46
beverage. Here's the reveal. Here it
18:50
is. Look at this. Going down the
18:53
escalator, by the way.
18:59
Look at this. Where am I? Where am I
18:59
right now? Where the heck am I? This is
19:02
awesome.
19:10
I like it. I like it. Am I walking right
19:10
down the middle of Main Street, USA? I
19:13
think I might be. Really something else.
19:16
Really something else. I don't know how
19:18
else to describe
19:26
it. Oh my gosh. Look over here.
19:26
This is incredibly overwhelming.
19:34
I can walk through the castle.
19:34
That's a huge That's a big castle. I
19:37
think that's bigger than Disney World's
19:38
castle to be honest. Maybe not.
19:40
Definitely bigger than
19:42
Disneyland's. Might be bigger than
19:43
Disney World. They're walking through
19:45
the castle. And one of the characters is
19:48
right up here with his
19:50
sword. Oh, look at the chandelier. It's
19:53
beautiful in here. It's like a big gift
19:54
shop inside the castle. It's like a big
19:56
gift shop inside. Magic Castle
19:59
Treasures, what the shop is called. So,
20:01
this is evidently the Magic Castle.
20:05
It is in all its glory from the side
20:07
angle. Walk through around the backside
20:08
then off to the off to the corner. The
20:11
Magic
20:12
Castle, South Korea. Some point while
20:15
I'm here, I got to go up and I think
20:17
that's Load Tower, which I think is one
20:19
of the tallest and highest highest
20:22
points. This is Comet Express. A long
20:24
line for Comet Express. See, that wasn't
20:26
Comet Express. There's another spinny
20:27
ride. It's next to Comet Express.
20:31
Like the theming out here, though.
20:32
Pretty nice. Outdoor indoor theme
20:35
park. Load world. Believe that. Load is
20:38
actually the name of No, it's spelled
20:41
different. Maybe it's spelled the same.
20:43
He must be the character here. This is
20:44
his This is his
20:47
garden. Yeah. Look. So, you got Loi with
20:51
an E, but then over here it's spelled
20:53
with a Y. Two different
20:55
names. Oh, look at the water fountain.
20:58
Look, you can drink out of a character's
21:00
bowl. This is the side. Pretty much any
21:02
view of this front, back, side all are
21:07
very very
21:09
photographable. That's how we're little
21:11
gargoyles or these what are they
21:14
lions right there. Now the indoor
21:16
portion is over there. That's the way
21:18
you go back
21:19
inside. So I'm on the outside right now.
21:22
Got all the different hotels around.
21:25
Plenty of places to stay. I'm not
21:26
staying near here. It was about a
21:28
probably a I don't know half hour
21:30
commute to get over to the spot. Here
21:32
comes Speedy. That's his name right
21:34
there. There's no one in Speedy. The
21:35
dream car though. Speedy has no one in
21:38
it. He's going through the cow shed
21:40
right there. All right. There's another
21:42
one over here. This is called the Oh,
21:45
it's the Atlantis adventure. Similar to
21:47
Journey to Atlantis from SeaWorld
21:54
Orlando. Very a lot of familiar a lot of
21:58
familiar things here up there. Coming
22:00
around
22:02
up. It's getting really busy out here,
22:04
too. Oh, they're going around and then
22:06
they're going to go up and over and then
22:08
drop. Nope. They're going up there.
22:10
Trying to figure out the layout of this.
22:11
You got to drop right down there. There
22:12
they come. There they
22:15
come. Then they go around. They're going
22:17
to go up. They got to go up. Nope.
22:21
They're going down. And where do they
22:22
go?
22:26
there.
22:27
Wow. Probably wouldn't be good to bring
22:29
my camera on that. Nice little relaxing
22:30
place over here.
22:45
nice. There's a staircase you can go up
22:45
towards the top, but that's
22:48
closed. Kind of neat how they have this
22:50
bridge. This is very similar to the ones
22:52
you can get both the both the Disney
22:54
castles, but this is a lot
22:57
lengthier. How lengthy this bridge is
22:59
going across the moat. Gargantuan moat.
23:02
Really good view of the cherry blossoms
23:05
over here as well. Cherry blossoms are
23:07
fully in bloom right here along this
23:09
little waterway. Call it a moat, but I
23:12
think
23:13
it's also a river walk around that way.
23:18
Pretty nice pirate ship here. Kind of
23:21
like you see at a fair but little much
23:24
bigger scale. A ginormous pirate ship
23:27
that goes
23:28
up your Wow, that's
23:32
high. That is regurgitation station
23:35
right there. Take a over. Take a look
23:37
over here at this band right
23:39
here. A bunch of monkeys and they are
23:41
playing some tunes. This one's standing
23:42
on top of the head of his other one.
23:45
There's a log ride. Oh,
23:47
there nice indoor outdoor theme park you
23:50
got here. Back down the escalator. Some
23:53
nice little tile work here. Got some
23:54
dancers, a hot air balloon. You got a
23:56
clown up
23:58
there. That was pretty awesome. Starting
24:00
to get pretty busy in there as I'm
24:04
filming this. It's a Friday here and as
24:06
the day progresses, a lot of people are
24:08
showing
24:14
up. Thanks for the good time. Oh, look
24:14
at this. Fly the world above the
24:18
crowd. All right, I think that's going
24:20
to do it for today. Got a couple good
24:22
dark rides in. Just amazing. Got the
24:25
layout of the land. Saw the
24:34
castle. Got to admit the jet lag is
24:34
still not over yet. I've been here a
24:36
couple days.
24:45
Very confusing the time
24:45
change. I think I'm going to head back
24:47
to the hotel,
24:55
relax, and I'll see you in the next
24:55
video. Thanks for watching. Loady World.
24:57
I liked it. I liked it a lot. The vog is
25:00
owned.
