I'm back for my second year at swamp
0:13

0:15
the wildest Central Florida event I
0:18
think I have ever attended
0:20
last year I did not know what to expect
0:22
it was rainy
0:24
overcast
0:26
messy and muddy today doesn't look like
0:29
there's any rain in the forecast but I
0:31
can imagine it's still going to be
0:34
pretty wild here in Wildwood also
0:36
world of mica yeah has here to get a
0:40
little bit Rowdy
0:42
nice Earnest quote you have taken my

1:09
there oh he's doing the he's doing the
1:11
two finger walk Point yes that's it
1:13
that's the two finger wall point because
1:15
Walt was a smoker so any time you see
1:17
photos of the cast members doing the
1:20
two-finger point
1:22
Legend says it's because they
1:24
photoshopped out Walt
1:27
doing the the two finger point I just
1:28
noticed the two finger point there there
1:30
it is nicely done now last year when I
1:32
was here it was
1:34
pouring down rain so everyone kind of
1:36
congregated underneath this this little
1:40
is already fireworks fireworks but
1:42
everyone congregated up underneath here
1:44

7:59
Escape leaf blowers
8:01

8:17
drinking the beer

there it goes
8:21
I'm thinking like a monkey skies are
8:24
limited space is a place over here
8:31
all right it appears as if they're wet
8:31
and down the slide and there's also a
8:35
loop-de-loop in there right where the
8:36
painted American flag is we're gonna
8:39
start at the top of the slide and then
8:40
go around the loopy loop and then try to
8:42
get through this idea a lot of people
8:44
are starting to stand up on the side of
8:45
that castle
8:47
foreign
9:19
all right now he's layering it out
9:22
dish soap and water make it slicker
9:37
this guy with the cowboy hat has a kite
9:37
right above right above the ramp here
10:13
get a little wet
10:23
oh my gosh
10:23
that was insane
10:30
there goes the Hat testing the waters
10:46
that hurt
10:46
s
10:50
be careful there's an inflatable
10:52
goldfish over there they're now doing
10:54
something over here where if he gets the
10:56
top of the rail and ring the cowbell you
10:58
are the winner kind of off in the
11:00
distance over there get the top of that
11:02
rail there's a little cowbell
11:10
make it happen man

12:44
oh the mortars are coming out
12:45
if you're gonna do a little overnight
12:46
camping take a look at this you could
12:48
crash out in the Electric Boogaloo this
12:50
is like it's a good old 70s style right
12:52
here Electric Boogaloo it's even got the
12:55
like awesome little windows on the back
12:57
everyone's kind of spread out now to all
12:59
the different areas at this moment so I
13:01
guess there's no real technical event
13:02
happening everyone's just kind of going
13:04
to what their favorite thing is and kind
13:05
of utilizing over here this guy over
13:07
here has like a go-kart it looks exactly
13:09
like a shopping cart
13:40
that guy's on it guys he's been knighted
13:40
yeah look he's got an idea it's going in
13:49
part of my birthday
13:49
I don't know
13:54
yeah some people did for sure somebody
13:58
though I saw like I was on that ramp
14:02
feel like soon
14:04
it's like the Calm before the storm
14:06
right it's the Calm before the storm
14:08
what's one ramp goes up there all right
14:39
welcome to Thunderdome they're pulling
14:39
up the railings over there off in the
14:41
distance yanking up the railings with
14:43
another piece of heavy machinery
14:47
oh watch out
16:06
you see this getting really out of here
16:25
oh
16:25
at Disney when they do the fireworks
16:27
above the castle
16:28
a little higher up in right there shoot
16:31
the same time though watch out
19:58

20:58
pig hat on
21:07

21:35
how did my boy in Lake County have a
21:35
fire department
21:37
tree but
21:39
they're not gonna come out here
21:50
swamp fast too look at this guy taking a
21:50
photo over here
21:55
let's go burn it down
22:05
dude this is so hot
22:32
that was like a tornado fire tornado for
22:32
a minute
22:35
I didn't catch it on camera it was like
22:36
a fire tornado I've never seen nothing
22:38
like that before maybe oh let's do it
22:41
again like over here kind of on the side
23:10
this guy's got some bunny ears on over
23:10
there
23:37
making some assertive comments not to
23:37
throw mortars and fireworks at them
23:39
which makes total sense how about not
23:40
throw any human people at all
23:43
I guess all bets are off here
23:46
look at that
23:58
they're shooting numbers are towards the
23:58
band
24:15
all right seems to be a little bit
24:17
between the band someone who's doing a
24:20
shot a bottle rocket
24:23
wait a minute
26:17
that was so loud holy crap
26:22
oh what
26:31
you ever experienced anything like this
26:31
before
26:33
crazy
26:35
Florida Florida yeah Florida
26:54
really got to be on your toes here yeah
27:02
I thought there was going to be a little
27:02
throw down between the band and the guy
27:04
that was that was had the bottle rockets
27:07
still might be
27:33
I got another Pacer falling over to the
27:33
fire the guy with the pig head on
27:35
come on
27:52
caved it in
28:10
I think the band might get our stuff off
28:10
stage we're done they were uh they
28:14
finished their set pretty quickly
28:15
they're just like the road is like
28:17
hurrying their stuff off look at that
28:18
there which is kind of hurrying their
28:20
stuff off the stage
28:40
you got a little in your hands yeah it's
28:40
a little souvenir there
28:48
oh man come on man down
28:48

29:32
