0:03 Welcome everyone. Driving around CMI,
0:03 Florida today near the Disney World
0:05 exits in SeaWorld and Universal Studios.
0:08 And in that area, there are a lot of
0:10 Whoa, you're sliding. You're sliding.
0:18 In the vicinity of the theme parks,
0:18 there's a lot of ticket sales that give
0:20 you discounted tickets, and that's all
0:22 intertwined into the area around the
0:25 immediate area of the theme parks. But
0:28 there used to be other ticket sales into
0:30 the areas that aren't directly involved
0:33 with the theme parks. And over time, for
0:36 whatever reason,
0:39 those places have been converted to
0:40 other businesses or have become
0:43 abandoned. So, let's go check them out.
0:46 Join me, shall you?
0:53 Heat. Heat.
1:37 You can see where at one point they
1:37 actually had the tourist info center
1:40 sign facing the turnpike exit. Now it's
1:43 just all grown over and an empty shell
1:46 of a building. No tourists are being
1:48 welcome here at this intersection. At
1:50 least that's what I'm guessing.
2:44 Got to wonder what those lights were
2:44 pointing at. What do you think was
2:46 written up there on the side of that
2:49 wall?
3:07 If you look closely on the ground over
3:09 there, you'll see a few metal signs that
3:11 have fallen down and they can't get up.
3:14 They're laying in the ground. So, I'm
3:15 going to help them by putting them back
3:18 against the wall. Heat.
3:56 There's no knob. The knob's gone. Why do
3:56 you think these places are falling by
3:58 the wayside? Is it because of the
3:59 internet? Are people just not buying
4:01 tickets in person impulse buys anymore?
4:05 What is the reason?
4:56 This tourist info ticket sale business
4:56 has been converted into a fortune teller
5:01 psychic business.
5:03 So, not all of them are empty.
5:07 Who would have ever seen that coming?
5:10 Unless you're a Wait a second. Maybe
5:14 they did see it coming.
5:17 Psychic
5:19 predictions.
5:31 This particular place not only was a
5:32 ticket center, but also appears to have
5:34 been some sort of a produce stand. You
5:36 can get your tickets to the theme parks,
5:38 and you can get some fresh apples,
5:40 oranges, or maybe even some of those
5:43 delicious strawberries.
7:06 You here to get some tickets, buddy?
7:06 Looking for some cheap discounted
7:08 tickets to the theme parks?
7:12 Or are you in the market for some fruit?
7:15 Or maybe both. Tickets and fruit,
7:17 please.
7:37 Lonely car stopper. all here by itself.
7:37 It's a lonely car stopper. There's just
7:40 one and no one else. But all his friends
7:43 are over there. All his yellow friends,
7:48 they have a gang of car stopping
7:51 yellowess. But this guy's all by his
7:54 cell.
7:56 It's the lonely car stopper cement guy.
