9:56
beehive of artistic
9:59
activity right here these are little
10:01
flights this is called flight of fancy
10:04
and I believe that that is supposed to
10:05
be a bee it would be kind of neat if I
10:08
took some Canadian buddy when I went
10:10
back to Florida and I went to get to
10:11
Epcot again and go through World
10:12
Showcase it be kind of neat if Disney
10:15
had each of the countries around World
10:16
Showcase took the currency from the
10:20
country maybe they do and maybe I just
10:22
don't realize
10:24
it but
10:32
yeah it's a little exhibit of a litted
10:33
box whatever that
10:35

departure we understand that there are a
11:51
lot of video screens that are not
11:52
working properly uh we did have this
11:55
problem uh on the way in um we were
11:59
hoping that once we got on the ground we
12:01
could do a hard reot and that would fix
12:03
the problem um apparently that's not the
12:06
case I am going to reboot it one more
12:08
time um which means that all the screens
12:11
are are going to go down it's going to

26:50
momentarily Minute
26:52
Away really nice looking Sunset over
26:55
there just past the Ikea at the entrance
26:58
way
26:59
into the
27:01
Mall
27:03
of
27:04
America now last time I was here I've
27:08
been here I think four times in my
27:10
life and last time I was
27:14
here didn't really end
27:19
well I was walking around showing some
27:22
things showing the ferris wheel showing
27:24
the old theme park in here and then I
27:26
went to get some Ramen
27:28
and while I was at the ramen place they
27:30
were like what are you doing with that
27:32
camera it was kind of awkward so I just
27:36
left hopefully this time popping in here
27:39
at
27:40
nightfall goes a little bit better than
27:42
that it was just one out of the four
27:44
times sometimes it happens we'll give it
27:47
a retry
28:01
yeah I could have had like a 2hour
28:01
connecting flight or layover and then
28:03
gotten home really really really late
28:05
tonight but I decided heck it I'll just
28:07
stay here go out in the morning and get
28:10
home tomorrow
28:12
evening and not be on a plane for an
28:15
incredible amount of time so that's what
28:17
I'm doing the log ride in here was
28:19
originally built by the same people who
28:21
built the log ride at knots love that
28:23
log
28:24
ride and now it is like a Nintendo theme
28:27
park not Nintendo yeah Nintendo
28:30
SpongeBob wait Nintendo uh Nickelodeon
28:32
what am I saying Nintendo
28:35
Nickelodeon they both start with the
28:36
same letter I recently went on the new
28:39
SpongeBob attraction that came out a
28:42
year or so
28:43
ago at Circus Circus in Vegas and I hope
28:46
whatever happens at Circus Circus again
28:48
there's a lot of rumors and speculation
28:50
in hear on what's going to happen to it
28:52
hope they keep the
28:54
SpongeBob attraction in there
29:06
this really is an incredible
29:06
Mall a lot of the malls in the US are
29:08
not doing well but this place has
29:10
definitely broke the
29:12
mold always busy in here
29:19
always nice looking Sunset over there
29:19
travel day travel day it's a travel day
29:22
you know I think the key to a successful
29:24
Mall might be putting a rather
29:26
impressive theme park in said mall and
29:29
then you will get more people not only
29:31
shopping but are also here for this
29:35
fantastic Ferris wheel you know what
29:37
I've never been in here at dusk I've
29:39
never been here at night before first
29:40
time for everything
29:42
right first
29:44
time for everything Str light warning
29:47
also this is some flashing lights
29:50
uh I just give you a heads up on that
29:53
Nickelodeon Universe that's what it's
29:54
called The Mall of America wonder if the
29:57
coaster is going to be
29:59
running kind I wonder if the log rid run
30:01
still have an open Spencers over here I
30:03
didn't even know that store was still in
30:04
business or I had forgotten they also
30:07
have an amazing Mirror
30:09
Maze yeah check it out is quite the
30:11
impressive structure to be completely
30:13
honest really is quite the impressive
30:18
building that's right an was here the
30:22
water's running over there in the log
30:24
ride as well looks like everything looks
30:27
really cool under the shroud of dusess I
30:29
wouldn't call it Nightfall yet here in
30:31
the next few look at this there's the
30:33
log ride going around right now I've
30:35
done that a couple of times there always
30:38
a nice little stop off and ride a little
30:40
Rog ride and ride a little Ferris
30:42
wheelage area the what do you call the
30:44
sunroof is no longer a sun roof it's a
30:46
moon roof and I think I am going to go
30:50
up on the car the ferris wheel not the
30:53
carousel but the ferris wheel inside of
30:56
here there's coasters there's a
30:59
merry go around things like that but I'm
31:00
going to go on the on the ferris wheel
31:02
you got to go to the second level to go
31:04
on the ferris wheel I'm going to do it
31:05
going
31:06
around nighttime Edition at the Mall of
31:10
America it's definitely not as busy in
31:12
here at night as it is other times that
31:16
I've been here I get a pretty good view
31:18
from up here looking over the theme park
31:23
inside here
31:33
yelling all right coming in hot doing
31:33
the loopty-loop and then up and there's
31:36
no one on that there's no one on there I
31:38
was waiting for someone to scream but
31:40
right now it's just running by so I
31:41
think maybe that means that the official
31:43
is closed the rides are closed I got it
31:45
in just in time right as there we're
31:47
closing right at 9: I got myself a
31:49
Orange Julius I always do that when I'm
31:51
here so I got myself an Orange Julius
31:53
right at 9: when the mall is closing
31:55
nice all right that's
31:58
gon to do it for today look at the star
32:01
all lit up right
32:02
