0:20
second i want to just show that i have
0:22
purchased a new umbrella
0:24
i'm just gonna kind of put it right here
0:25
on the ground because it's very hard to
0:27
hold that and
0:28
the beverage we went by the the knott's
0:31
berry mcdonald's which is i don't think
0:32
it's affiliated but it's themed so
0:34
cheers when's the last time you were at
0:36
knots
0:37
like end of may i brought my dad here
0:40
for his first time
0:40
since the 80s excellent so now
0:44
we are back here you and i together and
0:46
i am not much of a roller coaster i
0:48
think it's our first time being here
0:49
together
0:50
that's true wow and you were going to
0:52
drag me on some coasters
0:54
oh like maybe even that i am not much of
0:56
a coaster aficionado i'm not going to go
0:58
on all of them but you will probably get
1:00
me on a couple that i don't usually do
1:01
yes i'm holding hang time
1:03
ooh is hang time running i hope so
1:06
if not hang time something else i'm
1:08
inviting you to join me and natalie one
1:10
more cheers
1:12
shall you parked over at the la palma a
1:14
lot
1:15
because all the other ones are filled up
1:17
it is a weekday it's a wednesday as a
1:19
recording of this
1:20
now there is a bump ahead it says 15
1:23
miles per hour but
1:24
you can't even go 15 miles per hour
1:26
because it's all backed up
1:28
so opted for the knot slot on the next
1:31
block
1:31
block over worked out pretty well
1:34
walking in from this direction
1:36
it's been pretty busy at all the theme
1:37
parks here in southern california since
1:39
the reopenings
1:40
i'm kind of hoping i'm not i'm not as
1:42
tall as charlie brown because then i
1:44
would have a way out of going on some of
1:46
these rides
1:47
but i think i am taller than 48 so
1:50
yeah i'm just in it for the long haul
1:52
first up
1:53
pony express gonna get we're gonna mount
1:56
a horse
1:57
and ride a horse around over the rapids
2:00
over there and then it's gonna it's kind
2:02
of
2:02
it's kind of similar to how tron is
2:04
gonna be at epcot yeah
2:06
pony express the ride very short only
2:07
like a minute long but
2:09
i'm doing it oh there it goes oh i don't
2:12
think i'm gonna be able to film on this
2:18
that one's pulling away and another one
2:18
is pulling into the station
2:20
oh yeah it's happening all right
2:23
did it that was fun now when i was on
2:26
that i said that was that was pretty
2:27
intense i had my hands up
2:29
so almost the whole time especially on
2:31
that first little like archway
2:32
where the first little like what do you
2:34
call elevation there and you're looking
2:35
over ghost town
2:36
and i said that was that was pretty
2:38
intense and you said that's a good
2:39
starting coaster yeah it's a good one to
2:41
start the day
2:46
that's a starting that's the starting
2:46
one yeah looks like the taylor
2:48
will probably do all day uh no no no
2:50
we're gonna do something more tame
2:51
there will be something more tame than
2:53
that for sure
2:55
you weren't able to bring your hats or
2:57
glasses on there yeah i had to leave
2:58
some boats
2:59
even my glass even my glasses i had to
3:01
put a little what do they call that like
3:03
a little
3:04
cubby hole that's what it is but i like
3:06
that if that's what tron is going to be
3:08
like
3:08
i can handle it it's like a futuristic
3:10
horse
3:11
these are horses from the past
3:15
or something now it does not look that
3:17
hang time is happening right now so i
3:19
think hang time's down
3:20
one thing i have never done is
3:22
accelerate i've never been on accelerate
3:24
i don't i don't know if i can handle
3:25
that oh my gosh
3:27
i don't know if that was is my cup of
3:28
tea or not i don't know though you know
3:30
i just like the blast off seems like the
3:32
most intense part
3:33
so much fun do you think i could do it
3:35
it's one of your favorites yeah
3:37
should we see what the wait time is
3:38
there's also that one just
3:40
accelerator just blasted off there's
3:42
also supreme scream
3:43
which someone's about is someone up
3:44
there have to drop in no someone already
3:46
did drop in
3:47
this is kind of like hollywood tower
3:48
except not themed
3:50
oh looks as if either the stage coast
3:53
stage coach or the train
3:55
is about to head by we're about to close
3:57
the gates and we're gonna get a view
3:58
okay which will it be i think it's gonna
4:00
be the stagecoach
4:01
or the train if you had to pick i think
4:03
it's gonna be the train you think it's
4:04
gonna be the train
4:05
yeah all right and there's also the
4:07
swings up here however
4:09
i have a hard time fitting on those
4:10
swings they are a little smaller than
4:12
the ones over at dca
4:14
tried it before
4:18
what is it is it a train
4:21
they're saying stand back what's it
4:23
gonna be i don't see
4:25
so you're saying the train i think it's
4:29
that's very loud so the galloping goose
4:32
is over there station that's
4:33
that's the one that they run when the
4:35
train's not running they have galloping
4:37
geese here yeah see that little
4:39
little little car over there instead of
4:40
running the train on slower days
4:42
they run that vehicle over there up i
4:45
think you're right i hear the train
4:47
it's coming around the bend it's like
4:50
johnny cash
5:10
give us a hug
5:10
he didn't do the honk hello
5:14
sometimes you'll see the the train
5:15
robbers walking through here
5:17
the first car oh the first car had him
5:19
yeah
5:20
good thing we weren't on there i want to
5:23
keep my wallet
5:24
full today
5:35
it was not the stagecoach so look over
5:35
there that's the galloping goose
5:37
can you see it right here
5:43
oh my gosh look up here someone is is
5:43
bouncing up and down there
5:45
on supreme screen going supreme stream
5:48
going through the trees obscured by the
5:51
foliage
5:57
oh i hear it i hear montezuma's revenge
5:57
is working i haven't done this in years
6:00
and years it goes around a loop-de-loop
6:02
up there so then it goes up to the
6:04
pinnacle and then cycles back
6:06
and then it goes around the circle again
6:09
blasts off and now it's going to
6:10
kind of go right by this area here
6:13
and there
6:26
you want to do this and then
6:26
maybe get us zooming by
6:32
zooming by to and fro from the view of
6:32
the camera on the tripod
6:34
so that's kind of the workaround yeah i
6:37
don't know if your idea of tame and my
6:39
idea
6:40
obtain the same tame ratio
6:44
my ratio it's a obtained
6:48
bit different as i'm waiting in the
6:50
queue i'm looking over here this is kind
6:51
of like a fair ride i've done these
6:52
before
6:53
that one's kind of uncomfortable too
6:55
because you laid down across
6:57
this says place your head against the
7:03
headrest
7:03
and i can hear why
8:24
oh my gosh oh my goodness that was that
8:24
was something else
8:26
little did i i had forgotten that not
8:29
only do you go through the loop the
8:31
first time
8:32
but you gotta go back through the loop
8:34
the opposite way
8:36
i got to the top of the first pinnacle
8:37
and thought oh i forgot about that
8:39
a lot of fun but a little disorienting
8:41
what did you think
8:43
it was i like that how you use the word
8:46
it was chill as if it's like not even
8:48
that big of a deal it's not it's just
8:49
one loop
8:50
one loop but i forgot you had to go back
8:52
through the loop that's true it makes it
8:53
more fun
8:54
it feels like yeah it got a little
8:56
discombobulated when we're going
8:58
backwards
8:58
that's a good word for it
8:59
discombobulated i use the different word
9:01
what did i use i
9:02
l used confused i can't draw on a blank
9:05
on what i use but yeah i got a little
9:07
disoriented that's the word
9:08
disoriented discombobulated confused all
9:11
of those
9:12
all those are good explanations now
9:14
fiesta dog is where i was going to go
9:15
get celebrate national hot dog day
9:17
there's a sign on the window that says
9:19
go over to the grizzly creek sand
9:21
this one is temporarily closed so i'm
9:23
gonna go ahead over to grizzly creek and
9:25
get a dog over there
9:26
now i did go over to that other stand
9:28
and notice this mostly just hamburgers
9:30
and stuff like that they did have a hot
9:31
dog
9:32
but none of the specialty dogs that
9:33
fiesta dogs had
9:35
so didn't really have didn't really have
9:37
the type of dog i wanted i wanted
9:38
something kind of extravagant
9:40
just but i just went ahead and went
9:41
ahead and just opting out of national
9:43
hot dog day because
9:45
no fiesta dog decided to go walk over to
9:47
mrs notch chicken dinner restaurant and
9:49
see if they have
9:50
either reservations or walks walk-ups
9:52
and get to get a meal over there and
9:54
then
9:54
kind of regroup and figure out what
9:56
rides you want to go on i really would
9:57
like to go on ghost rider
9:59
however as of right now it's a
10:01
120-minute wait
10:03
to go on the wooden coaster ghost rider
10:06
so maybe after a meal and kind of figure
10:09
out
10:09
maybe the wait times will diminish a
10:11
little bit as the afternoon goes on
10:12
did not need a reservation this is
10:14
walter and cordelia cordelia started the
10:16
chicken stand
10:18
back in the day but it is about a half
10:19
hour wait they're going to let us know
10:21
when the table's ready
10:22
it has progressed a long way since when
10:24
it first opened
10:25
but it's always been popular just look
10:27
at the line here
10:29
everyone i'm her ghost writer it is kind
10:31
of like the line for ghost rider with
10:33
120 minutes
10:34
here's a photo of walter and cordelia in
10:37
front of the original berry stand
10:38
with a model t they bought to buena park
10:41
at night or they brought with them
10:43
back in 1920 with some artifacts
10:46
right along in here with a couple
10:48
different menu items with the
10:50
lunch special now it's kind of like it
10:52
right at the threshold between lunch and
10:54
dinner
10:54
but went ahead and went with the the
10:56
lunch special the notch
10:57
mrs notch chicken dinner lunch special
11:00
which has
11:01
two pieces matt two pieces of chicken
11:03
mashed potatoes
11:04
and gravy also went with the soup as
11:06
well on the side and it comes with some
11:08
biscuits
11:09
and whatnot so you got the biscuits you
11:11
got the gravy you got the
11:12
boysenberry jam and natalie ended up
11:15
getting the pot pie
11:17
pretty decent sized pot pie as well
11:20
and a couple beverages and you'll kind
11:22
of call it a meal
11:24
be really nice if the wait time has
11:27
dissipated a little bit
11:29
for ghost rider look at that weight look
11:31
at all the oliver up there it's going to
11:32
drop it in
11:40
you think the weight ties have gotten
11:40
shorter i jumped it's about the same but
11:42
now that we've eaten maybe it's better
11:44
to like
11:44
chill in line all right let's do it all
11:47
right into
11:48
ghost rider we go into
11:51
the mine shaft ghost rider
11:56
go look there's something pretty tall
11:58
enough oh can you reach that
12:00
no i bet you can maybe yeah
12:04
yeah they do have a fast pass but the
12:06
fast pass for the day
12:08
is a hundred dollars a person so opted
12:11
out of that since we're not doing
12:12
everything
12:13
would just make sense to just wait the
12:16
supposed 120 minutes for ghost rider
12:18
the best in the west there are
12:20
definitely quite a few people in the
12:22
lower q and
12:24
it go you go up a staircase over there
12:26
to the upper q
12:27
as well so yeah this is probably going
12:29
to end up being like an hour and a half
12:30
at least
12:31
made it up to the second level now
12:32
looking down at this mine shaft down
12:34
there at the bottom
12:35
there's like a pickaxe and a lantern all
12:38
kind of stuff down there
12:40
noticing here along the roof line some
12:43
some rather exciting spider webs
12:57
cobwebs up there that roof is being
12:57
attacked by cobs
12:59
it's an old jim jim barney joke and
13:02
kinda sorta almost there still about
13:05
i don't know another quite actually
13:07
quite a few people up here
13:08
on the second level as well you can now
13:11
see the
13:12
the ascension there going up
13:15
been in line for over an hour and a half
13:18
already
13:18
yeah it's uh to test in patience but i
13:21
feel like it's going to be worth it
13:23
once the front is achieved once i reach
13:26
the front
13:27
i think it's going to be worth it
13:49
oh my god
15:20
the total wait time was about one hour
15:20
and 50 minutes so just shy of two hours
15:23
right here get to get some get a
15:25
beverage get a water of some sort
15:27
a little thirsty after yelling and
15:28
screaming on that waiting in the queue
15:30
for almost two hours
15:31
but they have the little cookie down
15:33
here with
15:35
the peanuts some snoopy why am i saying
15:36
peanuts but peanuts
15:38
is the franchise snoopy is the character
15:41
here's a boysenberry
15:43
cookie they do have the pie of the month
15:45
they don't tell you what the pie of the
15:47
month is it's just
15:48
you have to guess they also have it by
15:50
the slice back there for 450
15:52
for the full pie for 15 any
15:56
any guesses of what the pie of the month
15:57
might be
16:03
gooseberry okay because they have the
16:03
boysenberry next to it for the same
16:05
price
16:06
and they have apple next to that for 15.
