to cover thank you Bush for temporarily
0:45
holding my
0:57
map
0:57
Christ in order to get to my first
1:00
destination must cross this rickety
1:01
Bridge no running or jumping allowed and
1:04
I understand why it's very very bouncy
1:08
there's gravestones in the water I've
1:10
been wanting to go on this attraction
1:12
for years now and I finally made it it's
1:14

2:08
adds to the Ambiance you are also
2:10
allowed to take a gun and shoot at the
2:13

2:16
theming than anything else
2:36
Canary up there just to make sure
2:36
there's no gas
2:38
escaping I'm getting out of here don't
2:41
matter
2:48
what oh yeah take
2:48
that the Temptation was too strong I had
2:51
to I had to play along making my way
2:54
over to this Lagoon the Lost River of
2:57
the Ozarks ride appears to be shut down
3:01
makes sense though this is not the time
3:02
of the year to get people wet in fact
3:05
they Place trees where you stand to do
3:08
the soaking I'm noticing there's a lot
3:10
of walking involved and a lot of Hills a
3:12
lot of angles so bring your tennis shoes
3:15
I spy a cringle up there just kind of
3:18
looming over everyone unbeknownst to
3:21
them I have the camera pointed at a
3:23
normal angle just to give the
3:24
perspective of the setup of the roads
3:28
and how steep they are spin the buggy
3:30
Wheel of
3:32
Fortune round and round it goes where it
3:35
will stop only the wheel this thing just
3:40
this thing goes a little bit longer than
3:42
than I thought it would you got to be
3:44
patient and the answer
3:51
is smile let the world wonder what
3:51
you're up to
4:03
this is the Wilderness church and they
4:05
still have services in there on occasion
4:08
and looking down from where the pulpit
4:10
is get a pretty good view of this little
4:13
village Jim hunt says Daniel Boone
4:16
nearly killed him a Grizzly bar on this
4:18
spot in
4:30
1882 the day daily count of people
4:30
horses mules and carriages that have
4:33
crossed this toll bridge and the rates
4:36
are posted right up there and you would
4:39
give your money to this gentleman with
4:42
the festive hat on Wow check it out now
4:47
in Bedford Falls that's pretty cool you
4:50
can board Dumbo's nephew pretty sure his
4:53
name is
4:55
Steven is it just me or are these Peter
4:58
panes pirate ships moving incredibly
5:02
quickly I have not sped this footage up
5:05
at all this is real
5:22
time words of wisdom by Tom Anderson the
5:22
best way to see a snake in the grass is
5:24
to just cut the grass starting to work
5:27
up quite an appetite think I'm going to
5:29
get myself some kettle chips now that is
5:31
a theme park delicacy if ever there was
5:34
one and for just a dollar extra you can
5:36
get cheese layered all over
5:59
them here's the old hotel now an ice
5:59
cream
6:00
parlor and of course no Community is not
6:03
complete without a general store the
6:06
building attached named The Farmhouse
6:08
kind of looks like a A Haunted House of
6:10
sorts the story you hear most often is
6:13
that one night a big storm came up and
6:16
pled one of the Taffy shops on the
6:18
boardwalk the next morning when the
6:20
owner went in he was pretty disgusted
6:23
about what happened in so when a little
6:25
girl came in and asked him do you have
6:28
any tappy he said all I have is
6:32
saltwater ta this is officially our
6:34
Taffy
6:36
snake all right this machine's going to
6:38
cut and wrap the TA it is 85 years old
6:42
almost as old as
6:45
Mitch he just feels he F that way today
6:48
yes we've been very busy lately okay
6:50
what's going to happen is a t Taffy goes
6:52
up this ramp the wheels grab the tappy
6:54
and pull it along and they pull it
6:57
straight down a hole that nice swing
6:59
continually in a circle and cuts the
7:06
tappy the TA didn't is this anybody's
7:06
cup it'll be very fast
7:08
you the paper
7:11
comes the paper comes around here and
7:13
gets cut here the paper and then the
7:15
tacky are pushed into this brass wheel
7:18
it swings around and there's two
7:19
flippers on either side that grab the
7:21
Taffy paper and in the all right this is
7:25
noisy
8:00
samples still warm
8:00
down inside this log cabin is a musical
8:02
group called The Homestead Pickers who
8:03
are about to perform okay start them out
8:06

9:35
lights on Park this year it's beginning
9:37
to look like Christmas is just right
9:39
around the
9:54
that but you know that was the thing
9:54
about old Grandpa he wouldn't let us
9:56
open up one single Christmas present
9:58
till he satis all down and told us a
10:00
true story of Christmas sometimes when I
10:03
close my eyes and I listen real close I
10:05
can still almost hear my old grandpa say
10:08
well Merry Christmas kids I so good to
10:12
see you well Grandma and I been
10:15
expecting you of course she's in the
10:17
cabin right now going through the pantry
10:19
making sure we have everything we need
10:21
for Thanksgiving
10:22
dinner oh I love this time of year it's
10:26
the holiday season Thanksgiving is
10:28
almost here and that means Christmas is
10:32
just around the corner and that's my
10:34
favorite
10:35
time oh it's time when friends and
10:37
family start to come home people are
10:40
getting together to go places and well
10:42
everybody just seems friendlier and
10:45
happier I just wish we could be that way
10:47
all the time
11:10
train as with every amusement park they
11:10
have a smoker's area
11:14
designated right here where'd he go
11:17
where the heck did oh they're looking up
11:21
oh he's taking a little Slumber little
11:23
nappage up there on the moon directly in
11:26
front of fire station number three
11:30
is Clyde's old number
11:34
one that's the way they used to put out
11:36
fires with Contraptions like
11:39
that this thing is an impressive piece
11:42
of antique machinery
12:02
that was a wise choice for him to
12:11
move quite a few people waiting to get
12:11
in the saloon both levels completely
12:15
filled up it's a popular spot today no
12:18
photographs so this is a governmental
12:21
operation you work for the government no
12:24
so that's the finished product but it
12:26
begins it begins with these right oh
12:28
down size4 half basically I'm changing
12:32
the size and the color from this dark
12:34
brown from smoking of the skin to per
12:37
color like this and then it's completely
12:38
done so it expanded expands quite a bit
12:41
Yeah ratio natur does the heat make it
12:45
expand or the water yeah you can
12:47
actually microwave them also
12:49
just so if I get this bag I can just
12:52
throw them in the microwave and it'll
12:53
you wouldn't want to throw the whole bag
12:54
in there one lb bag of these cook makes
12:57
about 5,000 bar back
13:03
that's it once you got all that dark
13:03
color out of it they're ready we're not
13:07
actually consumable in this state here
13:09
this is a a dehydration process for
13:12
long-term dry storage it's the
13:14
grandfather's Mansion holy crap that's
13:17
the grand that's the grandfather
13:21
oh oh he's floating up there on the
13:25
ceiling he's on the he's on the the roof
13:28
of the home
13:35
you'll notice this entire room is at an
13:35
extreme
13:37
angle very difficult to keep your
13:40
equilibrium now that the sun has gone
13:42
down a bit let's look at some lights oh
13:44
6 and a half million of them Christmas
13:47
in
13:57
Midtown safe to say the festiveness is
13:57
in full effect there's even a little
13:59
chill in the air which helps add to the
14:02
experience every nook and cranny every
14:04
cranny and Nook completely engulfed
14:08
something even Clark Griswald would be
14:10
most impressed with the banner
14:12
stretching across say Merry Christmas
14:15
Merry Christmas indeed and is it just me
14:18
or some of these displays awfully
14:21
familiar looking it's never been
14:22
completely confirmed but that Globe sure
14:25
rings a bell to use an already coined
14:28
phrase Christmas is starting now the
14:31
crowds have definitely arrived so many
14:34
people they're being funneled through
14:36
that Lit Up tunnel there to the right
14:39
and over on this side there are two of
14:41
them it's like a fork in the road of
14:50
sorts even though you step out of
14:50
Midtown don't think that's the end of
14:52
the lights all the rest of the park is
14:54
also illuminated granted not quite as
14:57
many as the centralized area but pretty
15:00
much the entire park is lit up every
15:03
possible
15:18
safe
15:18
dad are you my
15:30
dad at this point I'm kind of looking
15:30
for an area that's not completely
15:34
engulfed check it out from the bottom of
15:36
the hill looking upward I got to get
15:39
back up there and become immersed once
15:41
again but not before one last Gander on
15:45
the bottom level
16:20
rough guess what do you think the
16:20
approximate electricity bill is to run
16:23
all these each and every
16:26
evening probably not cheap this wreath
16:29
alone has to be a Humdinger on its own
16:32
to power up that's going to do it for
16:34
today from Silver Dollar City Travel
