off guard by Cadence
0:12
Gatorland is reopening
0:15
open daily from now on the last two
0:20
weeks there was a little asterisk next

0:50
excited I'm inviting you to join me I'm
0:53

0:58
parking is free they do not charge you
1:00
anything to park your car here unlike
1:02
some other places parking here is always
1:05
free so it's kind of a it's not 1949
1:09
it's been slashed discounted free today

1:16

8:14
okay all right we're going in this is uh
8:17
he's the Monster Hunter
8:18
I like the thieving through here already
8:20
oh look at the pitchforks right here I
8:22

8:24
monster Museum foreign
8:36
welcome to my office I am Sir Daniel
8:36
wolfsby the world's foremost Hunter of
8:39
monsters Vampire Slayer Dragon
8:41
vanquisher Ghost extinguisher and
8:43
werewolf fighter At Your Service I am
8:46
here to teach you to hunt monsters
8:48
because to you your child is precious
8:50
but to monsters he is delicious you have
8:53
to learn to defend your family from
8:54
night creatures now a monster's greatest
8:57
weapon is fear therefore yours must be
9:01
courage do you understand I understand
9:03
here's the other thing too I kind of lie
9:05
they also have razor sharp teeth and big
9:06
balls and they're super strong and very
9:08
fast and mind control one guy has knives
9:10
on his fingers so you're gonna need a
9:12
weapon and you're probably also uh you
9:15
know going to want to have some
9:16
knowledge but with that weapon and with
9:17
that knowledge just like me you might be
9:19
able to become
9:21
Monster Hunter of the month this way
9:24
I think we'll see some vampires in here
9:28
okay the legend of vampires were
9:30
popularized by this man wrong stoker who
9:33
wrote the novel Dracula he was inspired
9:36
by this real life figure Vlad the
9:39
Impaler called so because he would
9:41
impale his enemies on pipes so it wasn't
9:45
a very creative game but it's actually
9:48
uh the first film about Dracula came out
9:50
in 1929 it was a silent film called
9:53
Nosferatu since then thousands of movies
9:56
about Dracula ever come out he's Dracula
9:59
about that permanent insects a wolf that
10:02
is because he is also a very powerful
10:04
sorcerer
10:06
however he and all vampires are
10:08
powerless by day I must sleep in a
10:10
coffin did you know that
10:12
but the coffin must be filled with soil
10:14
from their Homeland did you know that oh
10:16
no absolutely yes so follow me this way
10:19
oh there's something in there
10:21
with the empire in there
10:31

10:31
well done look at this one hanging

10:36
killing vampires how what how do we kill
10:39
a vampire who can tell Shake through the
10:41
heart stay through the heart very good
10:42
however keep this in mind a wooden stake
10:44
to the heart will kill anyone don't just
10:47
stabbing people with us they go oh look
10:48

10:49

10:51
the vampire how do we detect this what
10:54
do they think they hate garlic garlic
10:56
they don't like Italian food what else
10:57
mirrors mirrors they don't cast a
11:00
reflection very very good yes so you can
11:02
slay them by beheading them wooden
11:04
Stakes holy items could kill them and UV
11:08
light they don't do much tanning but
11:10

11:23
I was talking to you this way that
11:25
scared me that scared me Savannah scary
11:27
I didn't know they were going to be jump
11:29
scares let's go this way
11:32
who is that who is that there let's go
11:35
inside the monster well done most people
11:37
think it's Frankenstein however
11:40
Frankenstein is the one that created the
11:42
monster and both were created by this
11:45
woman over here Mary Shelley yes her
11:48
word Frankenstein two dates anything
11:50
that Jules Vern did which means she
11:52
created the genre of Science Fiction
11:54
that's right a woman did that speaking
11:57
of women who is this all right the bride
12:00
now the bride is actually a creation of
12:02
the movies you see in the original novel
12:04
The Monster did demand to mate however
12:07
Dr Frankenstein was afraid that the two
12:09
got together they would have thousands
12:11
of super children that would take over
12:12
the world
12:14
enjoyed the bride instead of reanimating
12:16
her in turn the creature killed Dr
12:19
Frankenstein's wife on his wedding night
12:21
oh which is fairly Petty if you ask me
12:23
follow me it's pronounced Frankenstein
12:27
it's pronounced Frankenstein yeah all
12:30
right everyone
12:37
once you've ended up Pharaoh's tomb
12:37
there's a sarcophagus and where the
12:40
sarcophagus is yeah
12:42
there are mummies oh wow it's got bugs
12:45
coming out of it yeah
12:52
and here's the thing right in order to
12:52
have a mummy put their curse upon you
12:54
and come after you you have to disturb
12:56
the mummy's that's the good news
12:57
you have to go to the mummy to get
12:59
attacked the bad news is we just
13:01
Disturbed the mummy's Crypt so what do
13:03
we do about that mummies are very
13:05
brittle and dry so fire can be their
13:07
undoing or you could just let them
13:10
destroy everyone that entered the Crypt
13:12
let's not go that route we're gonna go
13:14
with plan C as in see our way out of
13:16
here
13:28
this guy talking about curses now he's
13:28
talking about curses and there's about
13:30
to be a cut off where you can get out if
13:31
you're scared I'm about to go out it's
13:33
like a chicken exit yes you're getting
13:35
out all right half man half full yes
13:39
they transformed the full moon there's
13:42
something behind me
13:44
in fact I think we have a full werewolf
13:47
there someplace right now get back down
13:50
sit sit here you got that oh you got the
13:54
street toy yeah
13:55

14:06
our assistant hey Rhonda
14:12
it's fine she's already promoted herself
14:12
she's been here one day but she's doing
14:15
really good with the Monster hunting and
14:16
uh at this point the guests will have a
14:19
choice
14:24
here and I'll escort them to safety or
14:24
they can continue on with Rhonda the
14:27
only thing is from here things tend to
14:29
get a bit hairy okay
14:33
I get it Harry because they have you
14:36
cannot
14:38
eater that is the worst publicity go
14:41
back to your pages go on so if you want
14:44
to find out what happens you have to
14:45
come back during the event and actually
14:46
take the rest of the adventure with
14:48
Rhonda
14:49
thank you all of you all right that was
14:52
pretty good oh you look you look very
14:54
startled I was scared
14:59
Empire jumped out there was a werewolf
14:59
in there too yeah right behind you and
15:02
you got right behind me oh yeah behind
15:04
me behind you but you got the correct
15:06
answer on Frankenstein's monster yeah so
15:09
here's my question if it's Frankenstein
15:11
monster why isn't it why is it called
15:13
The Bride of Frankenstein's Apollo
15:16
because
15:18
the story is about how
15:24
Frankenstein's monster killed
15:24
Frankenstein's bride
15:26
but why isn't it fried a Frankenstein's
15:29
monster because the story's not about
15:30
her it's about the Bride of the guy that
15:34
made Frankenstein okay you just debuffed
15:36
my whole Theory but I don't think that's
15:37
true for the movie I think foreign
15:47
take a look at this so we're now walking
15:47
over into an area to see my favorite the
15:51
skunk gate which is like a Sasquatch and
15:53
a Bigfoot yes it's like big Bigfoot's
15:55
cousin kind of Sword it's like the
15:57
Florida version of Bigfoot wow look at
16:00
this creepy skeleton right here the
16:04
pumpkins here this is like
16:07
look at this I kind of it's like an old
16:08
bar now something out of like Friday the
16:10
13th you say like Jason Voorhees
16:12
sticking his head out of here this is
16:14
like a scarecrow there with the sack
16:15
over the head hello
16:18
are we gonna find the skunk gate train
16:21
is pulling into the station
16:24
well out of the Wilderness the skunk ape
16:27
it's been a while it's been like a year
16:28
since I seen you yeah yeah you have a
16:31
superhero k-pod back there
16:34

16:36
trying to be or is he's your own
16:37
superhero that's super skunking right
16:40

16:44
candy Smarties

17:08
social distance skunk ape but now I can
17:11

17:14
I'm like three feet from you right now
17:16
yeah that's good well thank you for the
17:18
candy yay yay
17:36
get a selfie there
17:36
for posterity they say they say it's for
17:39
posterity No One Believes that you exist
17:41
but I just documented that you exist
17:44
you're real right yes you're real
17:47
evidence all over the place a lot of
17:49
folks just don't want to look but if you
17:50
check right here this is the sort of
17:51
thing you find in the wild I mean an
17:53
actual skunk a pair it got lodged in the
17:55
wood just like with the wild okay once
17:58
you can smell it you can smell him yes
18:01
right that's why he's called a skunk
18:03
game yeah because he smells like this
18:05
morning it might be time for another one
18:07
of you already spellings
18:09
do you smell more like a skunk or do you
18:11
smell more like an eight yeah he doesn't
18:15
know what he smells like it's just his
18:16
natural that's true if someone asked me
18:19
what I smelled like I would like roses
18:28
make sure everybody knows how to stay
18:28
safe on the train plus there's a
18:30
mountain
18:36
connect way to stay safe on the train
18:36
stay on the train yes I don't know often
18:40
off for anything and if you drop
18:42
something just leave it there and tell
18:44
me I'll go back and get it for you now
18:47
one of the reasons you got to stay on
18:49
this train is because this hurricane we
18:51
just had has driven a lot of strange
18:54
animals up here through the property
18:56
yeah we've actually spotted seven
18:59
different kinds of Cryptids out there
19:02

19:04
one of them things that some people
19:06
don't believe exist but you're going to
19:08
be able to see them today
19:10
oh
19:11
so I'll start out and then I got a
19:13
special friend that's going to join us
19:15

21:54
the side
22:00
got my big brim hat on to protect me
22:00
from the foliage walking through here
22:10
it's a little well I want to say little
22:10
it's a rather large
22:12
jack-o-lantern here
22:17
I was like walking over and looking at
22:17
the flamingos who are in like their own
22:19
little area kind of all fenced off away
22:22
from the alligators little Flamingo
22:24
section and then over on the other side
22:25
well pretty much every side except for
22:27
that one little section of her just lots
22:29
and lots it'll call this Gatorland for
22:31
nothing there are a heck of a lot of
22:35
alligators out here swimming around
22:38
everywhere you look Gators ooh I have
22:41
found the alien section with a UFO and a
22:45
backdrop and all that this would be kind
22:47
of classifies what they're saying
22:49
invasion of the Bubba snatchers of
22:53
planet Earth Bubba's food stands close
22:55
encounters with the fender of an alien
22:57
spaceship after intercepting
22:59
transmission of Gatorland blogs the
23:01
extraterrestrials have traveled across
23:03
the Stars to make contact with Savannah
23:05
boss man
23:06
Danny danger our most popular
23:07
celebrities in the alpha Centurion Mike
23:10
the Vlog hog
23:12
Hillman
23:13
but basically just all this I was just
23:15
reading this reading the sign so you're
23:18
a crashed UFO here and after you passed
23:20
the crashed UFO you could walk over to
23:22
an area where there's lots of little
23:23
skeletons kind of dangling from the
23:25
little Archway all through here there's
23:27
a lot it was like an overload of
23:29
oversized not miniature skeletons but
23:31
almost like full-size skeletons all
23:33
through here and not only the skeletons
23:35
are leading the pathway in
23:38
they're also kind of dangling on top of
23:41
where the restaurant is the restaurant
23:44
has I guess the restaurant must be so
23:45
good the skeletons are trying to find
23:48
their way in and get a little bite to
23:49
eat or maybe bite to pay maybe bite to
23:52
guess the Patriots maybe possibly
23:53
hopefully not I don't know if they they
23:56
still have teeth yeah skeletons have
23:57
teeth right
23:58
I think they have teeth I have just
24:00
placed a quarter in here so I took a
24:02
quarter out of my pocket and I'm going
24:04
to turn this I'm gonna get some corn
24:05
they probably know what the corn sounds
24:08
like here are these emus these they are
24:10
emus emus emus
24:13
emus come on over here here you go you
24:17
want this don't you I think there's so
24:20
much corn on the ground that they're
24:21
just like they're just corned out
24:24
here you go
24:26
there you go get it see us right there
24:27
in front of them again I don't care
24:29
they're full there's a whole bucket full
24:32
of food right over here oh that's true
24:33
no he just walked right over the corn
24:35
wow oh well maybe we could feed the
24:37
vultures
24:39
wasn't that a song in Mary Poppins Feed
24:41
the vultures those feed the birds a
24:44
quarter a handful of corn puppet I used
24:47
to think tuppence was a food item right
24:49
it's a price point it's like a
24:50
tupperware doesn't it going along the
24:52
swamp Marsh walk here now
24:55
oh now here's a couple
25:06
they're all just enjoying the day
25:06
swimming around
25:14
so many Gators here hear the train going
25:14
by
25:19
so you know how we were just talking
25:19
about
25:21
Short Round from the Indiana Jones yeah
25:23
and Temple of Doom what was the movie
25:25
you were talking about that he was a uh
25:27
everything everywhere all at once so did
25:29
you know that there's a tie-in for
25:30
Gatorland some of these Gators were used
25:33
in that movie
25:35
they filmed part of it here which one
25:37
went from Temple of Doom Temple of Doom
25:40
yes the short round is in yeah when the
25:43
Gators jump It's a tie-in right and also
25:45
it wasn't wasn't what about the ones
25:47
from uh from 007. oh they were here too
25:50
no I think that was somewhere else
25:53
I didn't know about James Bond but I
25:55
knew that some of these I don't know
25:56
which ones or if they're even still
25:57
alive because that was a while back the
25:58
Gators do live a long time they were
26:00
doing what this was doing spinning
26:01
around oh yeah just like that he's
26:03
eating something so they maybe got went
26:05
over to the top it is eating something
26:06
what's it get does he have Short Round
26:08
oh no
26:10
well Short Round survived yeah even new
26:12
movies
26:13
it was the villain at the very end that
26:15
fell off that fell off the thing and
26:17
went to the water right in Indiana Jones
26:19
yeah in Temple of Doom I thought they
26:21
got their face melted off no you're
26:23
thinking a Raiders lost art oh okay
26:26
but anyway you mentioned Short Round in
26:27
the actors in a new movie new were movie
26:29
a little older I just kind of thought
26:31
about I think he's in Loki too he's in
26:34
Loke the next season of Loki oh he's
26:36
gonna be in the new season yeah breaking
26:38
spoiler alert
26:40
okay this one was just eating something
26:42
too oh there we go
26:43
get someone's throwing uh throwing some
26:46
food in over there get a gator
26:53
I always think of Romancing the Stone
26:53
always as well
26:55
hey Ira
26:58
how soon
27:00
very soon
27:03
that's a deep cutter now but
27:06
they say look at those Snappers look at
27:07
those Choppers
27:13
there's a lot of them over there all
27:13
these alligators are confused oh they
27:16
don't remember where they're supposed to
27:17
be will someone Draw Something On The
27:19
Water there
27:33
I think the sounds of the water hitting
27:33
the stick hitting the water the
27:35
vibration gets them to know what's going
27:36
on over there look at them all
27:39
oh my God look at them all you think one
27:40
of these Gators is named Loki maybe I
27:43
feel like it's probably probably one of
27:46
them is probably named Ally could be a
27:48
variant in here somewhere a low-key
27:50
variant true
27:52
foreign
28:02
this is looking more like that scene
28:02
from
28:03
Temple of Doom right there
28:10
look at that look at these big ones
28:10
so they're the largest species of gecko
28:12
in the world
28:13
and I've had her for about two years
28:16
she's almost yeah she's almost two years
28:17
old wow and that camouflage is
28:20
incredible incredible if I put her on a
28:21
tree right there you would hardly be
28:22
able to see her oh yeah can I ask a
28:25
question of course what makes a gecko
28:27
like a gecko a gecko a gecko that's
28:29
actually a really good question as
28:31
opposed to other lizards they actually
28:32
have these sticky so they're mostly
28:34
nocturnal they will come out during the
28:36
day there's day geckos and stuff like
28:37
that but you see those feet right there
28:39
oh yeah look at those little bristly
28:41
feet you can actually feel them they're
28:42
super sticky
28:49
it's super weird right so it's usually
28:49
and it's also how their skin is made so
28:51
it's got that super velvety skin yeah
28:53
it's like you can't really tell unless
28:55
you touch it and the other thing that
28:56
makes them different from other lizards
28:58
is most geckos actually don't have
29:00
eyelids it says see you later alligator
29:02
on the X the way out exit through
29:06
the gift shop
29:09
it's the best way to exit thank you
29:10
thank you for holding the door you're
29:11
welcome and inside here they have some
29:13
little baby alligators as well inside
29:15
this little kind of it's like this
29:18
little
29:19
tank they're sitting on the Rock there
29:22
American alligators one thing I've
29:25
always noticed about Gatorland is they
29:27
have a ton of great merchandise I would
29:30
wear any of these shirts with the gator
29:32
on the front there
29:33
there's a lot of merch uh crocodiles
29:37
Gators meet the locals
29:40
cool as a gator
29:43
there's a gator over here Gators over
29:45
here got chicken Gatorland Gatorland
29:49
just a lot I'm trying to see if they
29:51
have an event for the ghost goblins or
29:53
the Gators ghosts and goblins
29:59
that's kind of what I would like oh
29:59
there's a 15-inch Gator head for 20 125
30:02
come to the dark side
30:08
and it does not look like they have any
30:11
merchandise for the event
30:13
was looking for some for the event but I
30:15
don't see any for the event I saw people
30:17
wearing them in there maybe it was just
30:18
the team members that have them always a
30:20
fun time here at Gatorland this is
30:22
probably I don't even know how I mean
30:23

30:56
semi Florida was this Kissimmee or
30:58
Orlando I mean it's Gatorland Orlando
31:00

I'm hearing Holiday Road just looking at
31:10
this Gator Mountain here I was not

31:21
