9:11
capacity they have closed the gates
9:13
now when i say capacity i mean this this
9:16
is the capacity but
9:17
it's very limited to the gas so you got
9:18
to wait till someone leaves before
9:20
others come in
9:21
now i am noticing they did not put the
9:22
christmas tree up which is here they
9:24
usually have the headless horseman for
9:25
halloween and
9:26
sometimes there'll be a christmas tree
9:28
with even a waltz barn and
9:30
some presents under it but not this year
9:31
pretty much decided if you're if you're
9:33
one of the ones that can get in you will
9:34

9:40
really have missed this road
9:42
plenty of seating and along the
9:45
decor of the street at the tail end
9:49
is a trolley available for photographs
9:51
it's very interesting behind the ropes
9:53
is a churro cart that is not being
9:54
utilized now there are rumors that maybe
9:57
the expansion will extend out
9:59
this could be a sign of things to come
10:01
that would be exciting but for now
10:02
this is pretty dang amazing to be in
10:04
