traffic is heading to the florida
0:14

0:16
as am i've already parked walking
0:19
towards the ferris wheel in the entrance
0:21
even though it is a monday morning there
0:23
is still quite a beehive of activity out
0:26
here along this road i believe they're
0:28
going to be doing a parade there are
0:29
people lining up for a parade welcome
0:31
everyone adam the woo here i guess this
0:33
is probably as good a place as inning
0:35
underneath
0:36
the ferris wheel to start the intro i'm
0:38
hanging out with a friend today i
0:39
haven't seen it quite some time
0:41
an old hollywood pal we both lived right
0:44
off hollywood boulevard for a few years
0:46
we were neighbors
0:48
near tommy burger and the 101 in
0:50
hollywood boulevard
0:51
and i was thinking of it jordan the lion
0:53
by the way
0:54
good to see you everybody
0:56
oh yeah the cat got your tongue well i
0:58
was just thinking i couldn't help but
1:00
think when do you not talk well here's
1:02
the thing i can't help but notice adam
1:03
that i started my video the exact same
1:06
way and said hey we're meeting up with
1:07
one of my old neighbors from hollywood
1:09
that's so crazy that we think so similar
1:11
and so many times on the way over before
1:13
i got here i got to thinking what's the
1:15
complete opposite of hollywood boulevard
1:17
florida strawberry festival absolutely
1:19
complete opposite flip around yeah i'm
1:22
inviting you to join me and jordan the
1:24
line you can join me too
1:26
i put you in there and zombie burger
1:29
shall you okay i just went in
1:32
everyone is clapping because they just
1:34
did the national anthem i'm gonna put my
1:35
cat back on flag is right up top there
1:38
bell city amusements america's cleanest
1:42
attractions
1:43
the day begins
1:44
admission was ten dollars
1:46
and have to add on the wristband for
1:49
unlimited rides definitely going to get
1:50
the wristbands over here at the ticket
1:52
booth this is going to be a little
1:54
interesting jordan's sitting this one
1:55
out the ferris wheel he does not like
1:57
ferris wheels i love ferris wheels he
2:00
likes
2:01
the fast spinny rides like the scrambler
2:04
and whatnot which i oh you know what
2:06
maybe he probably has
2:08
he probably has a good idea where's
2:09
where'd he go he's right down there
2:11
but i love ferris wheel so i might be
2:13
doing a couple ferris wheels without him
2:14
and then he might be doing a couple of
2:15
attractions without me but i had to do
2:18
this for the first one i'd be able to
2:19
get a bird's eye perspective
2:21
of the entire property so far not a
2:24
whole heck of a lot of people out here
2:26
which is good i figured you know a
2:27
weekday morn would be oh look how far
2:31
off in the distance this goes it's
2:33
almost bigger than the state fair i was
2:35
just out about 10 days ago
2:37
give or take
2:39
size ratio
2:40
acreage wise so this would be a little
2:42
perspective by myself up here
2:49
just to show the expansiveness i don't
2:49
know exactly why i love these
2:52
so much
2:53
but i like
2:55
i love ferris wheels there's something
2:57
about a fair good ferris wheel it's the
2:59
quintessential
3:01
fair carnival midway
3:03
attraction in my opinion hello down
3:06
there
3:07
hello
3:17
oh i'm moving i'm moving
3:17
i'm on my way down
3:19

6:14
right this right here is a gorgeous
6:18
delicious treat we're going to have to
6:20
get real food
6:22
after the dessert yeah you generally
6:24
don't do dessert
6:25
second but it's the first time
6:28
oh that is good
6:30
and they only give you one big
6:32
strawberry on the top yeah i like the
6:34
icing on the cake glass bear cause i
6:36
like the
6:37
i like the strawberry marinade or
6:38
whatever you would call that marinade
6:40
well what do you call that it's a juice
6:42
called marinade
6:44
what's the juice called marinade
6:47
they're good huh it is good yes sir
6:49
they push this flower out of the way are
6:51
those petunias
6:53
you mentioned that you got the biscuit
6:55
and not the cake yeah i use it it's
6:58
amazing i normally get the cake which is
7:00
why i decided to try the biscuit
7:02
and i think i'm going biscuit from now
7:04
on yeah it is actually better
7:06
so i may have to challenge you to go try
7:08
the biscuit later
7:10
i don't know if i could eat too much
7:11
more sweet than this i got the cake the
7:13
cakes down in here i think there's so
7:14
much juice on there i don't even know if
7:15
you tell the difference because it gets
7:16
so soggy
7:24
the strawberry is the star here
7:24
that is so dang good
7:26
that cake is awesome no you can sit
7:28
there yeah i accidentally tore my
7:30
sticker off in half so i stuck it on my
7:32
wallet right there and also there's
7:34
shared tables you gotta share the tables
7:35
out here
7:36
you know i had this wallet since 1995.
7:39
yeah 95. pretty unbelievable oh now i'm
7:42
a little hyped up off that off those
7:44
strawberries i'm almost as excited here
7:46
as the pillsbury doughboy right here so
7:49
many options and not just food there's
7:52
another ferris wheel over there wouldn't
7:54
surprise me at any moment if spongebob
7:56
squarepants showed up this is a
7:58
pineapple but not under the sea going
8:00
past the stadium stands over here this
8:03
year they also have entertainment i
8:05
think the last couple years
8:06
they didn't have any concert i'm
8:07
sticking around for any concerts there
8:09
later in the evening and there's an
8:10
additional fee but i'll be here for the
8:12
concert tomorrow you're coming back
8:14
tomorrow yeah oh yeah i'll see you on my
8:16
vlog if i have to tune in
8:18
you're really coming back
8:20
yeah we got the wolf man up there
8:22
busting through the top of the you think
8:23
this is sanctioned by universal studios
8:25
you think that you think they put their
8:27
name on it
8:28
probably
8:29
they wouldn't do it otherwise it seems
8:31
legit looks good to me you said this is
8:33
scarier at nighttime though right right
8:35
that's why i'm going on this during the
8:36
day because i don't want to be as
8:38
frightened as much
8:40
it's not not as scary during the day
8:42
jordan that's why we're doing this yeah
8:44
everybody says to get you on the ride
8:46
do not open the gate
8:48
then you're terrified
8:50
so the operator tells you
8:54
oh look at this
8:55
what does that stand for bca
8:59
bell city am i going in
9:01
am i going in all right
9:03
look at this it's making its way in
9:05
this is my ride vehicle
9:07
going in
9:09
all right we got something horrifying
9:11
already as this thing begins over here
9:12
in the corner oh look we got all the
9:14
universal stuff here the wolfman
9:17
dracula creature from the black lagoon
9:20
oh my god
9:24
that's good that was alien i'm like wait
9:26
for sigourney weaver okay i already like
9:29
this it's moving fast there's a truck
9:31
whoa we have my own test track
9:37
oh wow there's a clown
9:37
there's the clown
9:44
you know what i kind of like this
9:44
and the tunnel here the tunnel of doom
9:48
oh my god what the heck
9:51
why is that so rough like that that was
9:54
rough
9:55
wow
9:56
that was intense
9:58
i was not expecting that to be that
10:00
intense this it just slams right into
10:02
the the metal door frame
10:05
just slams right in the middle oh look
10:07
at this right over here someone has been
10:10
rolled over by the steamroller item
10:12
oh you just heard the door bust open and
10:14
now he's turning the corner
10:16
yes
10:18
what'd you think
10:20
i know it looks like i'm smiling but i'm
10:21
crying i'm terrifying i kind of liked it
10:24
i kind of liked it in a weird way you
10:27
are weird yeah this right here is
10:28
something i don't know if i would do
10:30
this i would probably get a little
10:31
nauseous and that strawberry shortcake
10:33
dessert i just consumed would end up all
10:35
over the ground right here if i went on
10:37
this so i'm gonna sit i'm gonna set the
10:38
scorpion out though now this is pretty
10:40
much
10:41
flicks flyers or emotional whirlwind
10:44
which is called now at dca it's pretty
10:46
much the same same attraction right here
10:48
you won't go on the ferris wheel but
10:50
you'll do the himalaya okay that doesn't
10:52
make any sense to me but jordan
10:54
does not want to do a ferris wheel but
10:56
he will go on this which i would
10:58
regurgitate watch him as it goes by
11:01
watch closely
11:03
there he is hold on
11:39
i'm just enjoying watching from a desert
11:39
he's about to get thrown out i don't
11:41
know if this is something i would enjoy
11:43
i would i could do it i might not feel
11:45
so well after it was over
11:48
i think the after effects of being dizzy
11:50
kind of ruined the rest of that for me
11:52
anyway i don't like super skinny things
11:54
like that
11:55
i could do it but afterwards that would
11:56
be the end of my day take a look at this
11:58
one it's called the star dancer oh my
12:00
gosh so it's going up and then it kind
12:02
of loops back around like that okay let
12:04
me just say if you were to did
12:06
what would be the complete opposite of
12:08
the safest attraction ever it would be
12:10
this one it's called strike zone you
12:12
spin it around almost like the teacups
12:14
at disneyland except you're swirling
12:16
through the air on a rusted out piece of
12:18
machinery and the ride operator is
12:21
wedged in the middle so if something
12:23
goes amiss the ride operator
12:26
wouldn't be able to get outside of the
12:28
circle of rusty
12:30
hope being held on by one or two bulbs
12:32
this thing is fast i'm just like
12:34
fascinated by this attraction in every
12:36
way because this thing what that no
12:40
that is this is a hard pass for me i'm
12:42
gonna hide behind you because i don't
12:43
trust this thing to not come flying this
12:45
is a hard path and i like this this
12:46
dragon kind of spinning around i know
12:49
mardi gras just ended over in new
12:50
orleans but they have brought a float
12:52
over here called mardi gras fun house i
12:55
try not to even touch anything when i go
12:57
through here oh i usually there's me
13:00
hello there
13:01
you touch the walls yeah look um
13:04
you lick the walls that's not good i
13:06
want out of the cage do not lick the
13:10
oh there's me again i haven't touched a
13:12
wall yet i'm making it through just fine
13:13
a little secret though you look down
13:14
here at the floor and you can kind of
13:16
tell there's me again hello
13:23
go jordan go go go
13:23
okay jordan has convinced me to go on
13:25
this this is as fast as it goes right
13:27
jordan this is this is as fast as it
13:28
goes right here okay i'll do the
13:30
scrambler because if i don't go on the
13:31
scrambler i'll have egg on my face
13:34
because it's just
13:36
that doesn't go any faster than this
13:37
right no no no that's as fast it goes
13:39
it's like a thrilling i can do this it
13:41
doesn't go upside down does it go like
13:42
that but this is this is as fast as it
13:44

21:02

later right now it's not raining but in
21:09
the sun
21:10
it is very humid
21:13
out here at the moment
21:15
the florida florida humidity right now
21:17
yeah
21:18
toasty i'm not used to that all right
21:20
gotta figure out at least one more
21:23
ride or attraction to go over this looks
21:25
like a balloon alien right here and now
21:27
back over at the tilt-a-whirl you know
21:29
why not better after eating half i
21:30
didn't eat all that corn dog but about
21:32
half of that large corn dog and the
21:34
scorching sun and that's what go on the
21:36
tilted world and as i'm standing here
21:37
waiting for our turtle to tilt the world
21:39
i'm realizing i misquoted the jim vardy
21:42
he doesn't say groovy that's what ash
21:44
does and evil people did too
21:46
he says boogie
21:48
boogie
21:49
i don't know why i wasn't thinking this
21:51
boogie we are moving
22:33

22:33
oh my god i'm getting dizzy
22:48
oh man my stomach's doing okay though
22:48
surprisingly i'm gonna stop it now
22:50
surprisingly my stomach's doing all
22:51
right
23:08
i'm actually handling this pretty well
23:08
i think i'm getting used to the old
23:09
tilt-a-whirl yeah i was gonna say you
23:11
were worried about the uh spinning
23:12
around you're doing okay you're doing
23:14
good
23:20
get the hang of it oh that goes but it's
23:20
a movement
23:22
i think that's it no it's not over it
23:24
makes you think it's almost over it's
23:25
never over like a little you think he's
23:28
gone he's never got a guy went on break
23:32
this is some sort of radical new therapy
23:50
what if the guy did go on break
23:50
now he's not out break he's right there
23:58
okay this is a good last this is a good
23:59
last ride yeah i think that's going to
24:01

24:32
wristbands oh my god there's the accent
24:38

24:40

24:45
way back out towards my car might even
24:47

24:50
someone's trying to sell me something
24:51

24:52

25:08
from plant city florida
25:11
this is the second time i've ever
25:12
attended the florida strawberry festival
25:14
it's been going on for many years
25:17
last year when i was out here i really
25:19
enjoyed it
25:20
and figured heck it i will go to another
25:22
one this might be a yearly tradition
25:24
when i'm in town to stop by the florida
25:28
a
25:29
magnificently large fair carnival dare i
25:33
say even more attractions and rides
25:36
than some of the county and state fairs
25:39
pretty close to the same size of the
25:40
state fair nonetheless had a great time
25:44
probably should not have eaten
25:46
as much of that corn dog as i had i did
25:48
about half of it
25:50
had the lemonade and then went on some
25:52
spinny rides probably should have just
25:54
done one spinning ride and not two not
25:57
the scrambler
25:58
and the tilt-a-whirl together
26:00
but i did it
26:01
and i'm feeling it
26:08
i'll see you the next video the vlog
26:08
is
26:10
