today's adventure brings us to the Great
0:04
Smoky Mountains and by peeking through
0:07
this foliage down below the Overlook
0:13
where I am standing is Gatlinburg a
0:17
place full of activities a plethora of
0:21
fun for locals and tourists alike and
0:24
there is a roadside attraction down
0:27
there that I will be attending very
0:31
shortly once I make my descent I've
0:34
covered a few times but this is a
0:37
historic occasion because it's updated
0:41
there is a newness to it I'm gonna check
0:46
it out
0:46
I'm inviting you to join me
0:56
shall you but prior to heading over that
0:56
way going to take a slight little detour
0:58
first and foremost to the top of the
1:00
Space Needle to get yet another bird's
1:03
eye perspective from way up there
1:32
that's not a very quick ascension
1:32
we're getting there
1:47
almost
1:57
from this angle get a very good
1:57
perspective of the Parkway
2:03
destination is right down there
2:06
now I must add a little disclaimer to
2:09
this you see it's basically the size of
2:11
a storefront so when you walk in a
2:13
retail establishment that is what
2:15
they're dealing with that is the space
2:17
at hand to make an entire experience
2:20
this is not a big-budget amusement park
2:24
that's what I like about it the
2:25
quirkiness the weirdness maybe the the
2:29
fact that it is a little on the odd side
2:32
it's probably why it is one of my
2:34
favorite things to do in this neck of
2:36
the woods and I'm so happy that they
2:39
have updated it changed it closed for
2:42
about a month or so from what I'm
2:44
hearing to install the new elements
2:50
I got to get down there for those afraid
2:50
of heights who are worried about an
2:53
emergency fret not there is a phone that
2:55
can be used in that case as well as this
2:57
door two options a lot to see though
3:01
it's not too bad from where I'm
3:03
currently standing if I stepped a couple
3:05
feet closer to the rail that my thought
3:08
process might be a little different but
3:11
from here not not too bad is this is how
3:14
I could handle it look I found up here
3:18
will and dawn from Yankee in the south I
3:21
have to ask us you guys are locals how
3:23
many times have you been on earthquake
3:24
the ride two or three times with you
3:30
that's true we have ridden it before at
3:32

3:35
changes have you heard about the changes
3:36
