welcome everyone Adam the Wu here as a
0:02
recording of this Friday December 2nd
0:06
2022. I am going I'm looking like a
0:08
full-on tourist today I got my Mickey
0:09
shirt on the d23 Expo shirt but also
0:13
my magic pant and
0:16
take a look at this little fanny pack
0:18
action
0:19
it's on the side it's not on my fanny my
0:21
Fanny's around the backside but it's on
0:23
the side of my fanny fanny pack here
0:26
this is a Six Flags Magic Mountain one
0:30
because some of the shorts I've been
0:31
wearing recently I've noticed you know I
0:33
put my wallet in there I put my keys
0:35
things like that and if I go on any
0:36
rides sometimes I'll slide out of my
0:38
pocket so I think the fanny pack is a
0:40
good accessory to have Disney announced
0:43
today that at Magic Kingdom Walt Disney
0:46
World's version of their Splash Mountain
0:50
just being erased from existence
0:52
according to them the last day it's
0:54
closing according to them January 23rd
0:57
which I am taking that to believe the
0:59
last official day that anyone will be
1:01
able to ride it will be January 22nd I'm
1:03
getting a head start heading there now I
1:05
found a reservation and because there's
1:07
a Christmas party tonight
1:09
this evening starting at 6 PM which I'm
1:11
not going to the wait times are
1:13
incredibly low during the day so I'm
1:15
going to probably be able to ride it at
1:17
least once maybe two maybe even more
1:19
times
1:20
join me Splash Mountain's going away
1:22
they finally set a date
1:25
shall you the park closes at six tonight
1:28
I think it's like it's almost noon now I
1:31
think it's like 11 30. give or take
1:36
but I feel like after the announcement
1:36
today since Disney has announced us
1:38
today from now until January 22nd the
1:41
wait times are going to be exorbitant
1:43
so now's my chance to get in or where
1:46
the fountain's not on and I'll also
1:47
pepper in some of my thoughts on the
1:50
fact that it's changing and going away
1:53
also talk about some of my memories
1:56
and which I like better
1:58
the Disney World version or the
2:01
Disneyland version
2:02
I'll share all those thoughts about
2:04
splash
2:06
it's been around for a long time
2:08
and it's going away time frame of new no
2:10
nine that's 1209.
2:25
we're also mentioned by looking at the
2:25
Mickey power pole one of my favorite
2:27
Disney specials involved Jim Varney who
2:30
played earnest
2:32
Ernest Goes the Splash Mountain of
2:34
course Splash Mountain opened at
2:36
Disneyland
2:37
Magic Kingdom came second but that is a
2:40
great special I love Jim Varney and I
2:42
have a lot of nostalgia
2:43
for Splash
2:46
it's kind of a good combat
2:48
the Powerball likes that special too it
2:50
is a very talked about subject matter
2:51
not really going to focus too much on
2:53
the movie
2:54
that the ride was based on before the
2:56
attraction itself it opened in 1992
2:58
about three years well give or take a
3:00
couple months two and a half years after
3:03
the one at Disneyland open it's been
3:04
here for a good portion of my memory
3:08
go into Magic Kingdom so I'm gonna miss
3:10
it and as far as I can see
3:13
well I could see a long way I could see
3:14
up to the Magic Kingdom parking area but
3:16
as far as I can see they have not
3:17
announced anything for the closures of
3:20
the overlay it's going to be turning
3:21
into Tiana's Bayou Adventure which is
3:24
basically a ride based on Princess and
3:27
the Frog great movie and I am excited
3:29
about seeing what they're going to come
3:30
up with but maybe I'm partial because
3:32
I've been going and riding this
3:34
attraction since the early 90s where I
3:37
haven't been going on the Disneyland
3:38
with as much I started going to
3:39
Disneyland in 2013. so I've gone on this
3:42
one probably three four hundred times in
3:45
my lifespan and I'll just say it now
3:48
the Walt Disney World version of Splash
3:50
Mountain far more Superior than
3:53
Disneyland Disneyland came first they
3:55
used some old animatronics from America
3:57
sings It's kind of dark in there you
4:00
can't see much the show area is not too
4:03
expansive
4:04
here
4:06
at Magic Kingdom
4:07
it's a different vibe very well lit and
4:10
incredible another good thing about
4:12
having this on even though I've got all
4:13
my stuff in here I can also put my phone
4:15
in there so when I get on Splash
4:18
Mountain
4:19
if anything gets damaged it'll only be
4:23
the camera I'm using and my phone will
4:24
be kind of put away
4:26
and the protectiveness
4:28
of the little fanny pack
4:30
I'm also going to walk I parked over
4:31
here at hook
4:33
but I'm gonna walk it I'm not gonna take
4:34
the
4:36
hook 312 to 316.
4:39
pretty close to TTC I don't know for
4:41
certain if I can pull off the look I
4:43
have going on today with the fanny pack
4:45
and is it is it appropriate to wear a
4:48
Six Flags fanny pack in Magic Kingdom I
4:50
think so Magic Mountain
4:54
Magic Kingdom
5:00
make sense of my own mind
5:00
that makes sense also first of the day
5:04
there goes
5:13
the monorail and Splash Mountain I mean
5:13
it's still a month off
5:15
the gosh
5:20
Smash Mouth going away again just
5:20
focusing on the attraction itself you
5:22
know it was created and came up with the
5:24
idea by Tony Baxter legendary imagineer
5:27
and it was during the Eisner era I'm
5:29
talking talking to you heavy metal
5:30
Mickey you know all this but I'm just
5:32
speaking through you
5:33
done through the Eisner error which was
5:35
my favorite era and did you know I mean
5:39
vicariously asking Mickey but really I'm
5:42
really just kind of putting out there
5:42
into the universe
5:44
that it actually was a correlation to
5:46
help promote the Tom Hanks movie Splash
5:48
as well so it was a tie-in not with the
5:51
aforementioned film
5:54
but also also
5:56
Tom Hank Splash true taking the monorail
5:59
in there's a feather down here on the
6:00
ground
6:07
about the Tom Hanks Splash movie
6:07
Touchstone this is pretty awesome only a
6:09
25 minute wait welcome aboard
6:18
but because it's a party night I've
6:18
always tried to figure out why the party
6:19
nights have lesser crowds is because
6:21
people don't want to buy a ticket of the
6:23
park closes at six as I'm walking in the
6:25
train station here's another Tony Baxter
6:27
attraction here Big Thunder Mountain
6:28
Railroad best remove them and I'm going
6:31
Starbucks today using team Joffrey's but
6:34
the line was pretty short in here so
6:36
we're gonna get myself a piping
6:37
caffeinated beverage inside
6:39
Starbucks on the map it says ride
6:43
through oh it says right through a gold
6:44
mining town that's Big Thunder
6:46
says enjoy a thrilling log flu ride
6:49
through a Whimsical world of classic
6:52
characters and one of those classic
6:54
characters is soon going away Ray rabbit
6:57
The Nest quick bunny this rabbit
7:00
is here to stay all right piping hot
7:03
caffeinated beverage achieved
7:06
someone over here with a Slayer shirt on
7:09
that's right also Gary Hall is here
7:12
what's going on from
7:13
WWE kingdomcast you're wearing an
7:17
appropriate hat I am you were like
7:18
splashes clothes and I'm gonna wear a
7:20
bear cap
7:26
that's a little owls that's a country
7:26
bear
7:27
so
7:29
is that really a little owl hat uh I
7:33
don't know if it says in your in your
7:35
mind it's a little owl also in Frontier
7:38
lamb soon to be Frontier Square front
7:42
two Frontier New Orleans Square because
7:45
we're getting a New Orleans style
7:46
attraction back there right but we're
7:49
gonna go ride Splash Mountain and we'll
7:51
probably talk a little bit about it too
7:52
yeah as soon as I read the news
7:56
we still have like what two months a
7:59
month and a half yeah a month and a half
8:02
yeah yeah definitely so let's get
8:04
caffeinated and go uh go get some
8:07
Splashdown now just to be clear they're
8:09
still looking at oh someone just lost
8:10
their hat they're still going to be a
8:11
drop on Tiana's this is gonna be a drop
8:13
other than that was going to be a
8:14
complete overlay but it'll still be a
8:16
flume ride there's still gonna be a
8:17
flume ride but a lot of the splash
8:19
animatronics are going to be removed and
8:20
replaced with Tiana is there a briar
8:23
pads in that move is there a Briar Patch
8:25
yeah I don't know
8:26
I wonder if the Briar Patch is gonna go
8:28
there I think they're redoing a lot of
8:31
the outside too there was some concept
8:33
art at d23 I'm also wearing a d23 shirt
8:36
so that's kind of a nice tie yet I think
8:37
they're saying it's going to be about an
8:38
18-month refurb so it's going to open
8:40
late 2024. which means early 2045 or 20
8:45
seconds yeah yeah we'll see let's see
8:47
what happens I think John is going to
8:49
put a few years ago that's true yeah but
8:50
we had 2020 to deal with too so see what
8:53
happens I think 18 19 months is what
8:56
they're predicting for the for the
8:57
overlay the wheel's not going over there
8:59
in the middle but you even call it an
9:00
overlay or a complete Reef they probably
9:02
complete re-theming is what I would
9:03
refer to it they used to see and it's an
9:06
overlay but in my opinion but I think
9:09
it's going to be a complete overhaul to
9:11
where it's probably going to be
9:12
considered a whole new attraction yeah
9:14
so the concepts are did have the
9:17
alligator in it it only looked like the
9:19
alligator from the end of the ride
9:21
uh oh do you think it's gonna be the
9:24
same Gator probably the same Gator
9:25
interesting but a totally different
9:27
gator in The Tiara the town of movie The
9:31
Town of Attraction is going to have a
9:32
different Gator because one of the main
9:34
characters
9:35
in Princess and the Frog is a totally
9:37
different Gator
9:38
so it's
9:41
already let me go look at the wheel over
9:43
there look at the uh oh yeah the paint's
9:46
coming off a very good eye I didn't
9:48
notice that the the wheels off and then
9:49
they're kind of the paint is not up to
9:52
up to par over there so probably like
9:55
anything that really needs to be fixed
9:56
maybe they won't just because I know
9:57
this thing's shutting down it's just
9:58
gonna let it ride five or seven six
10:00
weeks
10:01
I should also point out the other Tony
10:04
Baxter Jim is right over there on the on
10:07
the horizon Big Thunder Mountain and I
10:09
think that Tony Baxter originally was
10:11
going to help with the overlay and then
10:13
he decided he didn't want to be a part
10:15
of the team anymore I don't know if
10:16
that's true it's just here it's like do
10:18
you hear that I heard something like
10:20
that but I think they like pushed them
10:21
out but I don't know the full story but
10:23
Tony Baxter's not doing the overlay now
10:25
also should mention the Briar Patch over
10:27
here has not opened since 2020 the gift
10:30
shop back around the Exodus Splash
10:31
Mountain has but this one still closed
10:33
so I would definitely imagine this will
10:34
become a princess and the frog theme
10:36
store as well I really hope this reopens
10:38
once again because it's kind of
10:40
interesting not having a store open here
10:47
it's not the biggest drop
10:47
this is
11:16
it's all over my camera oh my camera is
11:16
soaked
11:18
oh we're old time's sake all right we
11:21
both got extremely wet yeah I'm so it's
11:24
your it's your fault that we sat in the
11:26
front even though it probably makes for
11:27
a better video it probably does but we
11:29
got drenched on that thing completely on
11:32
the first little ball I think I got more
11:34
wet than on the big one a big wave of
11:36
water came right over the front of the
11:37
log and my shorts are completely so so
11:41
are mine luckily I checked my phone it's
11:43
in my fanny pack and it's perfectly fine
11:45
if I'd have had it in my pocket it may
11:47
have been damaged completely have you
11:49
checked your phone no look it's wet even
11:51
on the back is it working yeah it's
11:53
working I think you're good to go I
11:54
think they're water resistant now I
11:56
don't know it's kind of sunny out now so
11:57
we're gonna we'll dry up quick and your
11:59
your bear hat and your bear hat oh your
12:00
bear house the bird's a little matted
12:02
yeah but we're gonna take a Big Thunder
12:05
Mountain dry it out yeah we're gonna dry
12:06
it off we're gonna talk a little bit
12:08
about the ride itself I'm gonna put the
12:09
clips over it because obviously it's a
12:11
lot to show usually I don't show a lot
12:13
of right through footage because of the
12:15
you know the music and the story and all
12:17
that stuff that's in there but this time
12:18
I feel like it's necessary throw all
12:20
that in there but the last day of this
12:22
is going to be January 22nd even though
12:24
Disney announced the 23rd right they
12:26
said closing the 23rd but the cash
12:28
members confirmed last day of operations
12:30
January 22nd 2023 which is a Sunday so
12:35
it's going to be a lot of people here
12:36
yeah all the APS and their brothers and
12:39
their sisters good thing we already made
12:41
reservations no spoilers no good thing I
12:45
already made a resume I may or may not
12:46
be here if I'm in town if I'm in town I
12:49
will probably be I'll find it for you if
12:51
you're not the last time I was at a
12:53
historic closing of a ride was Snow
12:55
White scary adventures here at Magic
12:57
Kingdom and that was a that was a big
12:59
that was a big deal yeah so this will be
13:01
this will be another another big deal
13:03
how many times do you think you've been
13:04
on this over over your lifespan
13:07
easily if not a hundred maybe more just
13:10
because
13:12
I don't know it's I've always loved it I
13:15
honestly didn't even know it was based
13:16
on a movie for the first 10 years of its
13:18
existence that's what I kind of preface
13:20
this at the beginning of the day for me
13:22
it's not about I know there's like
13:23
definitely a lot of conversation about
13:25
this going away because of the movie
13:26
it's based on but for me I just want to
13:29
concentrate on the ride itself and the
13:31
Nostalgia of the ride going on this
13:32
since 1992. it me it's it really isn't
13:36
about the film and I do understand both
13:39
sides of the story on why you know some
13:41
people wanted to change some people
13:42
don't but I'm going to miss the ride
13:43
itself because I'm a theme park guy you
13:45
know I've been coming to the theme park
13:46
wide open in 92. I always thought it was
13:48
its own story because you know you had
13:50
rare frog bear Fox and everything and I
13:53
just I didn't know and then when
13:54
somebody when I found the movie on
13:56
YouTube somewhere and people were
13:57
talking about it I don't make sense now
14:00
but I didn't know yeah I don't think 90
14:02
of the people here know yeah
14:05
uh they will know that it's based on a
14:07
movie no it's definitely going to be
14:09
definitely going to be completely based
14:10
on a movie on a movie now and from what
14:13
I've also heard some rumors that a lot
14:14
of stuff is completely going away in
14:16
there like the ending scene with the fit
14:17
with the the Riverboat and all that's
14:19
going to be changed a lot of the
14:20
animatronics are going but I would
14:21
imagine some of like the frogs the water
14:24
effects things like that are probably
14:25
going to stay probably in there as well
14:27
but you know really they haven't
14:28
announced they haven't really shown a
14:29
lot of concept arter or anything like
14:31
out there yeah so we'll kind of just see
14:33
what happens I just hope it does it
14:35
doesn't turn into a Tron where it's like
14:37
you know we're talking five years out
14:38
they're still working on this thing you
14:40
never know if it does we'll just have to
14:42
wait there's still going to be a drop
14:44
though there will be a drop yeah the
14:46
ride itself the layout it's going to be
14:47
kind of like Maelstrom is where they
14:49
just put the Frozen overlay on it yeah
14:51
so the ride track is going to stay
14:52
exactly but what about the park where
14:55
you go up the hill and back down the
14:56
hill you think they'll flatten that out
14:58
or you think it's a good question you
14:59
think that's the end of that because
15:00
that might be a little too thrilling you
15:02
know you think they're gonna mellow out
15:04
the ride itself think the ride height
15:05
will go down well probably not because
15:07
of the drop it's a good question the
15:09
final drop would be steep but I wonder
15:11
if the middle of the ride drops will
15:12
change but like if you have a ride based
15:14
on Tiana obviously it's more geared
15:16
towards children in a way um
15:18
usually don't see besides like Tron and
15:20
stuff Patron isn't really a children's
15:22
like animation film so I wonder if they
15:25
will mellow the ride out at all or put
15:27
like uh trim brakes or something like
15:28
that along it they're making me think
15:30
now and you've never seen Princess and
15:32
the Frog I've never seen it have you
15:34
ever seen Requiem for a Dream no okay
15:37
have you ever seen they live the John
15:39
Carpenter classic horror film no okay
15:41
well everything I'm gonna tell you it
15:42
goes out the window yeah I like the Hat
15:44
thanks so the guy that plays in they
15:47
live in Requiem for a Dream he does the
15:49
voice of the sillier from Princess and
15:52
the Frog I never knew that until
15:53
recently and now me telling you that it
15:56
doesn't mean anything to you well so so
15:58
a lot of Disney rides for me in the past
16:00
I've ridden the ride first and then I
16:02
watched the movie uh Mr Toad's a good
16:04
example I'm sure I've seen The Wind in
16:06
the Willows when I was younger but I
16:07
don't remember and I went on it and then
16:09
I went and watched a movie and I was
16:10
like all right this makes a lot more
16:11
sense then I imagine I probably won't
16:13
watch the movie until ride comes out so
16:15
I can ride it as its own thing instead
16:18
of trying to tie everything to where it
16:19
comes from the story and then I'll watch
16:21
the movie after well they live and
16:23
Requiem for a Dream as far from a Disney
16:26
film I should go ever again
16:29
far from me this is completely I always
16:31
thought it was a horror film right yeah
16:32
but horror film record for your drink or
16:34
baseball field let's feel the dreams
16:42
wait is sunny out here look at
16:42
it feels good though because I got
16:44
really really soaked and drenched on
16:46
that oh that's a little trains oh that's
16:48
the ferry that's the Riverboat yeah also
16:50
the train was running today though I saw
16:52
it it came through Main Street Station
16:54
and then continued on we could go over
16:56
to uh what they call Toontown here paint
17:00
New Fantasyland Storybook Land yeah we
17:03
go over there look for the train yeah
17:04
one last thought is a lot of stuff in
17:06
there was not working yeah a lot of
17:08
random trucks were not working a lot of
17:10
water effects as you'll see in the
17:11
videos hey it's uh yeah a lot of water
17:14
facts in the Laughing place the jumping
17:17
fountains weren't working animatronics
17:18
were busted uh or they're just simply
17:21
not there at all I think there's only
17:23
six weeks left why put the money into
17:25
fixing something they're not fixing it
17:26
the way that state this ride is it's all
17:27
downhill from here
17:34
does anyone listen to Slayer listen to
17:34
Fall Out Boy no
17:38
all right let's go ride Big Thunder all
17:39
right let's do it
17:42
we also went and checked in the gift
17:44
shop to see if there was any merch and
17:46
we were told by the cast members in
17:47
there all the merch is gone all the
17:49
plushes all the Disney pins I say pin
17:53
that you put like on a lanyard or
17:54
whatnot but they do have pennies pennies
17:57
Big Thunder Mountain over here
18:00
Magic Kingdom we have the vulture one of
18:02
the two vultures here so these three are
18:04
going to be very collectible souvenirs
18:06
as well so I think I'm gonna get those
18:08
four you can get four for four dollars
18:10
so I think I'm gonna go ahead and get
18:12
these and get three of the four of these
18:16
are themed around an attraction we also
18:18
learned where the spout Splash Mountain
18:20
poster is still oh talk about that the
18:22
Splash Mountain poster when we came in
18:24
the park it realized it's not on either
18:26
side the tunnels when you first come in
18:28
at the train station yep we talked about
18:30
it with the cast members they confirmed
18:32
that some back in storage they have
18:33
removed it seen it with their own eyes
18:35
it's been removed
18:37
yeah so you've noticed that and I
18:39
noticed that great minds think alike
18:41
because we both walked in we look for it
18:43
you're completely gone but right now the
18:45
only thing left in the Parks at least
18:47
here at Magic Kingdom are these three
18:48
and there's also some other ones inside
18:50
the gift shop so I might go and get
18:51
those too so I'm gonna have a collection
18:53
of these all right there's brayer right
18:55
there rare rabbit there's one of the
18:58
four okay we just realized the one over
19:00

19:03
different imprint so this one is gone
19:05
but I got this one
19:07
yeah I got that one yeah didn't get this
19:10

19:37
where it says Splash Mountain on it then
19:38
the vulture and Bray rabbit
19:41
souvenirs I'll take a look the train is
19:44
up there that's one of the two trains I
19:48
think that's the Roy Roy train there's a
19:50
Roy Train's green the Walt train is red
19:53
there's only two trains here Walt Disney
19:55
World right I believe there's only two
19:57
trains here they're both they're all
19:59
made in Baltimore Iron Works in
20:02
Philadelphia though probably made in
20:03
Philly right here oh so look at this all
20:06
the cast members are now training so you
20:09
can see they are all in their uniforms
20:11
there four five six cast members there
20:13
on the end so the train operations is
20:16
done with all their stuff the train is
20:18
ready to roll now the cast members are
20:19
being trained and once they're ready the
20:22
train will be open for guests and for
20:23
five dollars inside the gift shop there
20:26
are more of these crushed pennies so I'm
20:28
going to show the ones I get you can get
20:30
all eight for five dollars so you have
20:32
another brayer there you got you got Mr
20:35
Bluebird he's not on his shoulder he's
20:37
on a crushed Penny and you got the log
20:40
got an assort kind of hard to see there
20:42
with this kind of sun glaring across
20:44
them but these are all Splash actually
20:46
this is no this is just a random
20:49
Frontier land pen here but you got
20:51
Splash there so I think I got a total of
20:54
one two three four five I got like a
20:56
total of like eight Splash pins today
20:59
think of my master here's Brett Fox this
21:02
is the only merch they have this is the
21:03
only merch and obviously they'll still
21:06
have these
21:07
because they can't run out of these
21:09
unless they just come unless Iger walks
21:11
in and just pulls the die press out just
21:14
take get those die presses out of there
21:15
jpeg shows back up in a disguise yeah
21:18
he's wearing a knot shirt in his hand
21:20
he's wearing a knot shirt
21:41
oh oh
21:41
yeah the back is the best
22:28
it's not even having I don't even have a
22:28
selfie stick
22:37
I'm not even you're not even allowed to
22:37
have something
22:46
I've done Big Thunder under the times
22:46
here and Disneyland
22:49
yeah I've never never got you're not
22:51
even allowed to bring selfie sticks in
22:53
the park but yeah you're the checkpoint
22:54
on the way in this isn't even a selfie
22:56
stick just a little little camera
23:02
all right we're just informed by some
23:02
other passengers that were on the on the
23:04
train also this is my little thing I
23:06
hold so I kind of grab it like this but
23:08
evidently there was someone in the very
23:09
front of the train with a full-on like
23:11
three or four foot extended real selfie
23:14
stick and that's who they were that's
23:15
who they were talking about I thought
23:18
they were too I thought I'm just holding
23:19
it like this but yeah so this is really
23:21
yeah this isn't a selfie stick because
23:23
I've been on it a bunch of times and
23:24
they never said anything but at first of
23:25
all they were talking to us and you got
23:26
this like little thing here yeah I
23:28
wouldn't consider that a selfie stick no
23:29
it's just like a little holder though
23:30
part of the camera yeah
23:32
okay so we can
23:34
a little sigh of relief
23:36
on the way out gonna get a bite to eat
23:39
over here at Casey's Corner as you call
23:41
a couple of Coke's corner I think is in
23:43
Anaheim but Casey's Corner famous hot
23:45
dog kind of baseball theme and they have
23:47
a waltz chili cheese dog which is the
23:49
number one so I got that with fries
23:51
pretty cool to theming in here with all
23:53
the baseball stuff
23:54
yeah that's Norman Rockwell up there
23:56
well that's about to umpires but Norman
23:59
Rockwell what's the hardest Saturday
24:01
evening that's it yeah Saturday evening
24:03
post you have cast members in these old
24:06
photos down here yeah Gary was telling
24:08
me some of the photos that are on the
24:09
wall are some of the original cast
24:11
members mustaches
24:55
like chili do they sell like chili on
24:55
its own can you just get chili we have
24:57
to just get it with the chili cheese dog
24:59
they do have Waltz chili and Port
25:01
Orleans French Quarter at port or Lanes
25:03
okay I don't know if they have it at
25:05
other hotels but I saw it there yeah
25:07
this is what we're dealing with here and
25:08
also they have a foot long special that
25:10
was like two dollars more would have
25:12
been about twice this length it would
25:15
have been better deal probably to get to
25:16
football
25:17
but yeah I got the I got the waltz chili
25:19
dog so did Garrett he got the same thing
25:21
yep doubling down on the watch chili dog
25:24
is the place in Anaheim Coke Corner this
25:26
is Casey's Corner anaheim's coat corner
25:28
right is that what it is yeah so
25:30
California is Coke's Corner this is
25:32
Casey's corner I get him confused
25:35
because I'm at I kind of bounce back and
25:37
forth
25:42
it used to be cope
25:42
he took your bear hat off I did it
25:45
probably got soaking wet it's getting
25:49
musty yeah I hope it smells like that
25:52
water forever but yeah you could bottle
25:54
that water people bottle up the Pirates
25:56
water you could bottle up the splash
25:58
water back over to TTC now
26:02
head back over to my car
26:04
the sun is starting to set off in the
26:06
distance
26:07
and I can take the train just kind of
26:09
walk it I always like to walk I didn't
26:10
park too far
26:11
from where I am so I'm just gonna just
26:14
gonna walk I also have a one last
26:16
thought about Splash Mountain and a lot
26:19
of people are pulling in
26:21
for the Christmas party
26:26
right now so
26:26
a lot of people on the tram going into
26:28
the party
26:29
there is my elongated
26:31
Shadow down there
26:33
I got to thinking take away
26:36
let's just pretend that the reason on
26:38
why they're not getting the reason
26:40
they're getting rid of it isn't based on
26:42
the Past film and the characters from
26:44
that film
26:45
let's say they were just they were just
26:47
changing it
26:48
for the sake of changing it like they do
26:49
with a lot of stuff like Frozen and
26:51
going in for Maelstrom and stuff like
26:53
that
26:54
take that into equation that's how this
26:56
might look really tall in the shadow
27:00
so Guardians went in Hollywood Tower
27:02
Terror
27:03
out in
27:06
California Guardians went in
27:09
and they left Hollywood the Hollywood
27:11
Tower here
27:14
I kind of wish
27:16
like I said
27:17
if they were just changing it for the
27:19
only just for the sake of
27:20
having Tiana on a ride be kind of nice
27:22
if they would have left the one here
27:24
which is a far better far more Superior
27:27
attraction in the Disneyland's version
27:30
and it kind of makes more sense
27:32
to have
27:33
Tiana's Bayou Adventure in New Orleans
27:36
Square than it does here in frontierland
27:38
again
27:40
just you know thinking out loud
27:41
hypothetical and whatnot
27:48
but if it was up to me
27:48
and it was just a random overlay that
27:50
had nothing to do
27:52
with the real reason they are changing
27:54
it
27:58
that would have been the best scenario
27:58
in my book
27:59
having here
28:02
stay the same the better
28:06
attraction than Disneyland's version and
28:09
completely redo the Disneyland version
28:12
Tiana princess and the frog themed ride
28:14
makes a heck of a lot of sense
28:17
in California in new or elsewhere
28:21
all right that's kind of what I was
28:22
thinking
28:24
thanks for watching
28:25
I will see you in the next video the Sun
28:27
is setting
28:29
kind of like Winnie the Pooh so Winnie
28:30
the Pooh here I think is way better
28:32
brighter bigger stages
28:36
more life if you will inside the show
28:38
building here than it is in Anaheim
28:41
kind of like how Splash is here
28:44
versus splash and Anaheim so if one of
28:48
the two were to go away I would say get
28:51
rid of the one in Anaheim keep the one
28:55
but they're both going away
28:57
Splash Mountain
28:58
a piece of theme park history on both
29:00
coasts
29:03
gonna be erased from existence very soon
29:05
what's in the next month and a half give
29:06
or take and it's going to take about
29:08
almost two years
29:09
for Tiana
29:11
to appear and I I'm also let me clarify
29:13
I am really excited I love progress I
29:16
love things like that
29:18
and maybe it's time to move on maybe
29:19
it's time to go on to other things but
29:21
it does not mean I and others will not
29:23
miss this attraction
29:26
cannot pretend that you're not going to
29:28
miss it if it's a part of what you
29:30
remember embrace the future remember the
29:33
past
29:34
thanks for watching I'll see you in the
29:35
next video of the Vlog I was waiting for
29:37
the monorail to go by but it's not
29:38
happening
29:39
Vlog is over aha there it is
29:44
I want to follow it around
29:47
monorail
29:49
at least the monorail is still here
29:52
that's not going away yet
29:54
even though I do like the Skyliner a lot
29:57
I think this is the Skyliner is not as
29:59
beautiful to look at
30:01
but it is
30:02
it is a quicker and more efficient
30:08
way to travel the skies they call the
30:08
monorail the highway in the sky
30:14
that was not the monorail honking the
30:14
horn that was the
