 Lights are out and you're tumbling the dark You kept pushing on but then you went too far When you ship a sail and all your dreams are lost Everything is wrong, you feel like it's your fault Just remember, I will be there for you baby And remember, there's nothing that you just can't Just can't Lights are out and you're tumbling the dark The intro has... I just, I cancelled it We had technical difficulties I didn't, I didn't get the whole view of things Turn it down Brent Woo! Okay! Technical difficulties We were prepared we were but then we overcame that Sort of fidgeting for ten minutes now we're ready to go Right, classic Brendan Forgot the audio for the intro I don't know what happened there Okay Brendan, how was your week? My week was good Everything was funky to me Everything was great Well my week was pretty much the same But yesterday was an awesome day I went to this amazing place called Mr. Puffs And I know it sounds, it sounds I know what it sounds like I know what it sounds like But they make these deep fried hollow timbits And they drizzle them with caramel and chocolate and Nutella And all this stuff And when you bite down on them it makes a puffy noise Hold on, I think our audio is working Can you hear us more better now? Are we echoing twice? The voice is weird I'm gonna test it on here Test, test, test Can you guys hear us? I'm gonna test it on here Now we're good Test, test So see, this week, remember last week I had to add in the extra audio thing This week it's working properly again So the extra audio thing was picking us up twice Oh So next week, watch The audio is not gonna work And I'm gonna need that thing Even though we changed nothing They're just trying to give us a hard time Whoever it is is trying to give us a hard time YouTube is like, no Does he wash his sweaters? Yes, he does I do I've seen his eating habits And that would be a disaster Look how clean this is Literally, it's like brand new Watch this guy's washing Yeah, so how was your week? Did you start? Yeah, so I went to this awesome place in Mississauga Called Mr. Puff And it's like a puff pastry It's basically a hollow timbit That they deep fry And drizzle in caramel and chocolate sauce And when you bite into it, it actually puffs Like it's hollow And it's the coolest sensation It's like crunchy, chewy dough ball And it's so good I love it I ate 12 of them yesterday And how many did you order? 24 But I ate some The person I went with though I ate some of hers too Are you serious? We told you that you can't do that I know Oh, and then we went for a sushi buffet And there's a robot There was a robot that served us A robot What was the shopper's drug mark? Yeah, it literally It was like a little It had a bunch of trays on it And it was driving around It crashed into me It had this like little smiley face on it It was very creepy actually A smiley? What in the megan? I'm not even joking I like it Literally, I thought I wanted to kill him Did it try? It literally drove into a few people And it was carrying like hot soup and stuff So I'm like, what if that's built on someone And every time the robot would like bump into someone There was a little apology face That would come up Because it actually had a screen with a face And it would be like, I am sorry And the guys like, yeah They just got it And they're working out the kinks It has to learn the layout to the restaurant My god So Wonderland next year They're going to have little ride operators Or ride attendants Yes And they'll be those instead They'll be like You don't like you Can you imagine showing up to Wonderland And they're being megan Megan dolls Oh my Like checking restraint I wouldn't say anything I'd be like, thank you Roses, okay Oh my goodness Speaking of problems I went to shoppers today And they got rid of all their bags So you have to like carry your stuff out Or buy their like two dollar bag We gotta save the sea turtles I thought that was I was like Maybe I'm being a Karen But I think no bags Like I'm okay with paying ten cents a bag But having no bags And don't get me started on Sobi's bags Don't get me started on Sobi's bags Those like cardboard like bags They have to like carry in like this Or like what about Wonderland's bags Where they're actually like that Harder like paper like gift bag Yeah But yet I agree with if you have to pay for it But yeah I was our weekly rant Very exciting lives we live guys Yeah So I already see topic number one We're starting off We're starting off strong today Okay We're gonna go Let us know how the audio is Cause now the whole I'm gonna have to fix the whole stream As we go through it Yeah Ah It should work Minebuster Let us know if you can hear us I'm gonna test this Minebuster Yes they can hear us Okay Minebuster Okay Minebuster I think this is one of the most exciting things Actually to talk about today For me personally Like I feel very Well you know how I feel about When coasters I'm retracking And I'm not gonna Say anything more But You know what? At least they're putting effort into it Like they're putting work into it However my problem is When they only do 80 feet A season Yeah 100% agree This is It's good that they're showing initiative But They're working on an area right now Which I never even found that bad Not at all But compared to what else needs to be done I think this is pretty Pretty relatively tame This area actually I hope maybe they'll Choose to work on more Further on in the season I'm hoping this is really early This is early This is early So I'm hoping the double down Yes Like what the In my opinion They should be over there right now Bulldozing this action Like not even this little Just ripping up the ramp They need to bulldoze the double down Well the thing with the double down Is Before the water park Minebuster actually had that Third airtime hill Yeah Right and then when they Built the bridge They had to get rid of that So I don't know why They built that double down Like that But yeah the whole thing Needs to be re-profiled In my opinion I agree It needs to be What's interesting though While Beast isn't getting Touched yet So far This is again This is really early That's true They normally start Retracking a month Before opening Minebuster is usually Like when I'm filming With the drone It's like Like March Yeah Everything on site This is early There's a lot of action Going on in the park by the way So there's a crane By front gate It's nothing special It's just ripping up The Winterfest rink It's not It's not for anything else It's literally I think I actually have drone footage Of it It's just lifting up the wood Parts of the rink And putting them Like the floor And the scaffolding Yeah Trying to think of what else There's so much going on already Are we going to take bats On behemoth Or something getting Repainted Yeah I'm Okay I'm saying Nothing is getting repainted I'm saying something Is getting repainted Okay you know what Okay no no no no Wait a minute No I don't think a roller coaster Is going to get repainted A roller coaster A roller coaster No roller coaster Is getting repainted The season That's what I think I think a roller coaster Is getting repainted I don't know I just I just don't see it Like Don't even get me started Again on the paint situation But literally Every other Not even Just every other park Every other Like Pretty much in the world Has been repainted Within the last ten years And here's Wonderland Like everything is There's no paint Like look at behemoth Some parts of the rails are black From grease and rust That's not normal Why don't you get your butt in there And paint yourself I would happily go in there And paint it I wouldn't even charge them Maybe there's a painter shortage Yeah give me the paint And I'll do it You'd fall off that little bucket That's okay That's okay It could hold me Um Yeah So okay Like honestly I really think the double down needs to be Um Re-profiled Re-profiled So if I don't see that To me the re-tracking they're doing right now is pointless Again we're not carpenters And we don't walk that track So maybe something Like when they closed it off this season They were like Maybe there was something Yeah I just want to Say something else with the double down Even if you re-track it It's still not going to work Because Mine busters Cars Are three rows long And the axles are fixed So they're not actually On individual pivots So the train is fighting that double down It's too sharp Like the incline is too sharp So it bounces You have to do it like that That's how you show bouncing Bouncing My stomach as I walk Your stomach ten minutes ago Don't get me started Um Okay so Do you have anything else to say about the Mine buster re-tracking Other than surviving the second last day Of the season No comment Yes When they re-track it They need to do all eight layers of wood Not just the top two layers In the running rail But the looks of it They're only doing the The top layers Yeah That's a very Very sad thing That they're not even going all the way down To the cross ties or anything I want to also say how Kings Dominion is working with Gravity Group To completely redo Grizzly Now we don't need to work with Gravity Group They acknowledge that their ride Was rough and had a problem And they completely redid it Aw muffin Yeah No it's not okay Maybe Wonderland's Carpenters are You know just as talented Are you insulting the I am not I am not insulting them I'm sure they are very talented I'm more worried about them I don't trust them I saw that lift hill on Mine buster this season No one believed me I literally reported it I had to report The ride went down And they fixed a section of The rail had dug it And you know what That's all I'm going to say That's all I'm going to say I don't want to even know What happened to the other rail I've had a rough week So I'm enjoying some You know I'm relaxing I'm enjoying some tea Why don't we talk about Tundra Twister Bam Hi guys Look at this artwork That's an artist Yeah this is like a professional renderer I hired someone They were really cute by the way I think their name was Brendan But yeah The artworks fantastic Grade 2 level art here Okay so I color coded So the red circles are If you look closely You'll see red and orange flags in there That actually marks where The pillars are going to be For this flat ride And the brown is probably Going to be the concrete What's the right word? Slab Slab The slab on grade The slab on grade There you go The yellow is actually A new service road That goes out and then comes underneath This was a good catch on Brendan's Yes I didn't even It did not phase me until Literally an hour before the stream I was editing this photo With just the red circles And I was like Oh my god that new road They just constructed Is for Tundra Twister And Yukon Striker's service road And the green area Is going to be the queue line For Tundra Twister How much is this painting? Ten dollars Chantel ten dollars Oh it's Chantel twenty for you But yeah Just to visualize it for you guys Can you turn off your I'm so sorry What in the poverty Was that a Samsung ringtone? Oh my goodness We can't be happening Is it silent? I'm sorry I just wanted to visualize it For you guys I thought that would be really cool Just because it finally hit me Exactly what this is going to look like So hopefully my grade two drawing here I think it's beautiful Thank you The circles are really Just complete Not even perfect circles I just want to say though That was also a good catch too Where you caught the footings Yeah Well I noticed these two And I was like Oh that has to be the footings And I remember you were also saying Last season like I think in late September Early October Where they had some markings And those specific spots You remember those original flags They had Which were in those same spots Yeah and they have all the Distance markers UKIs can't see my mouse But I'm touching the green support columns Of Yukon Striker right now With my mouse Actually you can't see one Oh you can't see one Right underneath the yellow line You're right Yeah oh I'm cute That is how we figure out now Where new rides are going Because there's so much development In Wonderland Whenever they build a new ride They're going to have to do A lot of distance checks Over a year in advance Yeah I want to ask you something Because I think a few people Have been asking this In other videos and stuff And I'm curious How long do you think Tundra Twister's Q-Line Is going to be? Not very long now Because I originally thought That they might go underneath Like Skyhawk like a wrap around Yeah it's not It can't be a wrap around I thought it was going to be A circular platform Now we know it's not The exit platform is going to Have to come in On the right side of that Square if that makes sense Closer to the Coca-Cola Refresh Center And then the green area Is going to have to be A really small Q-Line Like less than an hour I think it's going to be The first section of Lumberjack Or like a cyclone size Yeah exactly But yeah So that's Tundra Twister Do you have any questions Or comments? Guys I think Tundra Twister is going to look It's probably going to be The best looking attraction In the park Solely based off Where it's built Just think about it You're interacting with Yukon You're going to have Windseeker Vortex In the background Those are going to make For some sick photos And some sick videos Like it's going to be Extremely eye catching So I'm almost more excited For that I'm super excited Like this is going to fit So well looking You're going to be swinging Like it's going to be A near miss That second drop I call it a second drop But it's going to be End of the ride That second drop Interacting with a moving Ride And vortex That's going to be so cool Yeah Yukon's the best Ride in the park Oh yeah okay Maintenance area This is your area No I'm kidding So as you can see I just wanted to show you guys I just thought this was cool This is very cool You have dragonfires Trains Vortex's trains I believe Again it's really hard to tell My drone's really good But we're super far You have no idea How far away we are The other side of the highway I had to I had to enhance this image So much And it's still blurry And then you have That's not the bats Trains by the way That's actually vortex From King's Island Yeah Vortex from King's Island Those yellow bars you see That's the trains From vortex from King's Island So I thought You guys would enjoy that Yeah it's pretty cool When they closed out They gave us a train And I believe the other two Went to Kerowins Yeah I have the DJI Mavic 3 Best investment I ever made I remember I actually had It was a pain in the butt To buy this Some old guy that worked At Best Buy Was like refusing to sell it To me Because the war had just Got me all these questions It was It was super uncomfortable And then Actually a fan of the channel Worked at Best Buy He saw this happening And he stepped in And took over the purchase And helped me out So Adama If you're in here Thank you He saved me from an angry Old man That was like Almost refusing to sell me The drone Waterpark A lot of you have been Asking So this is from Two days ago This footage This is not from last year Still no update To this water pump house Yeah To be fair though Like Obviously you know A lot more than I do But I could imagine some of Those pieces Might be time consuming To manufacture Yes, yeah 100% And because it is winter It might not be ideal To install them yet So maybe they have it They're just waiting For some warmer weather To come around Yeah I assume once All that stuff arrives On site It won't take them More than like two weeks To get everything Built and like Someone's asking What is the slide Looks so rusty Which one Is there some burnt netting There still Oh my god They didn't even cut it away I didn't even notice that Well that's cool It's not really rust It's more like Like burn I'm really sad Because of my intro To the stream worked properly I had an actual drone shot The day after the fire For you guys And it looked really cool Because the fire department Was there and everything I was going to show you guys To the first time ever In the intro So I'm kind of sad now I'll put it in next week Track Oh Oh we're going to echo I think Can you hear us still Now Can you hear us now Can you guys hear us Remember it's lagged Audio is good now Perfect Thank you Splashworks will open On regular time I actually also know The slide piece has done As of three or four days ago It was done being manufactured The replacement part And it is either on its way Or sitting to be on its way It's supposed to be arriving The original arrival date was End of April Third week or end of April That it was supposed to arrive But it's done Well you know the good thing With Splashworks opening A month later too Is there's no like Super time crunch No it's a super easy fix At the end of the day That's like a one day thing I think Wonderland Maintenance Is even going to probably Just do it Well I think they're the ones Who even cut it up Like took it out So yeah that's probably Something that they can do Really quickly Yeah so this is Grace Peacock's photo By the way Wonderland's photo That's the track I don't know why I'm not excited So I should be more excited So it was funny Like I know a lot of people That work at Wonderland And stuff like that And when Wonderland posted The track I got a lot of DMs From people that worked At Wonderland that was like Are you okay Like are you alive I didn't post it on Instagram at all that day So for those of you Don't know The store that I managed Closed for good And I'm in the process Of closing that store And moving to another store So I've been stressed Super busy Super overwhelmed So when they posted this It was the final day Of me working at that store And I was just Wrapping everything up I didn't post It was just Stress that's all But the amount of DMs Of people being like Ah you haven't posted it All today and then You haven't posted the track Are you okay I don't know Like I just don't find it As exciting as I should I'm obsessed with Tundra Twister I think Tundra Twister Is going to be the star Of the show Another reason to Like yeah this is Getting another roller coaster But at the end of the day This ride is more designed For kids and families Right so It's not really targeted Towards adults or teenagers And we all have to remember That That it is going to be I'm not saying it's a smaller Attraction but it's not Like a Leviathan Yukon Or a Behemoth It is for the kids I have to comment on this I saw a post on Tiktok About Bortex being Removed in the future Is this true So this content creator That you're talking about I don't know how old I don't know Yeah I don't know How old they are I'm not going to comment Too much but they Occasionally keep posting Videos that are Dramatizing something Bortex is not going to be Removed Eventually Like maybe like Way down the road Yes but ten Fifteen years It's not going to be Removed either The park has plans I'm going to go switch My wording to The park has plans Now because of Leviathan's left motor Thank you No yeah it's My fault To Completely overhaul Bortex Basically as if It's a brand new ride That's the park's plans With that being said With that in the plans The ride isn't going Anywhere any time soon How long has Bortex survived already Ninety one I believe Yeah so What is that twenty Twenty seven twenty eight years Yeah so add another Twenty seven twenty eight Years to that And it's good The park's never going To get rid of it It's classic It actually makes sense To give you guys A little more information The park actually has A welder Right a specific company That doesn't even manufacture Roller coaster pieces That has the ability To remake any of the parts On that ride So Wonderland N.C. DeFair Has actually secured a company To re-manufacture this coaster Even with the company's original Um And he's like a Certified mill ride too Like he's They know what they're doing Yeah so the ride's Not going anywhere Wonderland that's like That's one of those rides Like what could replace it What really could replace it Nowadays nothing Yeah whereas When you look at Wild Beast, Blind Buster, Dragonfire, Flight Deck, Time Warp Lots of things can replace it And for Texas A popular attraction too They'd be kind of Foolish to get rid of it Yeah So I do want to stress I did say I'm not excited About this coaster But when it opens I will be excited about it I think it's going to Look really good I should have included I'm an idiot I should have included The Timber Kits I got the blueprints For the Timber Kits Buildings The structures Like the ones you see In this photo They're going to look Really nice So I'm super excited About that They're investing a lot Of money into this And this is where I'm going to stress When you're a content Creator for a theme park You sometimes get sources And you should always Take things with a grain of salt Because some of my sources Were telling me that The funding Due to Leviathan And the park overspending Which it did It did overspend In 2022 That they were going to Take away some of the Theming of this ride Well no They're still investing In Timber Kits So you can't believe Everything you hear I don't I know when to Personally Think about that Do you have anything to say I feel like We're going through this Really quick I want to say actually So I know it's a kids ride And stuff And I know like You know okay It's not for everybody But taking all that out So no bias there I actually really Dislike the design Of this track You do I do I know like It doesn't need to be Stronger And beefy like B&M or anything I think it looks very It looks weird It looks weird Like the cross ties And you know There's no spine And the way That it's going to Connect to the footings And the columns I think it's I don't know It just looks weird It doesn't It looks out of place And the color scheme too Also is a little I don't like the color scheme It's a little Like the gold beige supports With the gray track Yeah it looks very dull I would have preferred The copper look To actually look Like a train track Yeah Copperhead Yeah I mean Like when I look At that track I go They're definitely not going To let us on it Us? What are you I'm standing here Oh Is that what your doctor Tells you Camera adds a hundred pounds So what are you Two hundred and eighties Oh man Okay Why don't I Pick a different Topics Because we're going through This so much This one will take A lot of time Yeah We're going to talk About Yeah We're going to talk about Wonderland's biggest Failure In my opinion I don't know Your opinion yet I think this is Wonderland's biggest failure Of a project Cue in Yukon Strikers I'm joking I'm joking I'm joking That was a joke If it wasn't illegal To strangle you I would I don't doubt that Oh This is where I wish we had a green screen I do have a green screen I just prefer a backdrop Yeah Guardian I think it's What do you think Are you talking about I have a drink I honestly Do you think It's Wonderland's biggest Failure I remember When this ride Was first announced In 2013 It was like August 10th or 11th 2013 And they Literally Verbatim said This was going to be A Disney Quality Attraction That's what They said Disney Quality Something you can Find it at Disney Or Universal Park It's going to have The cameras working They said It was going to have You know The best technology Of its kind in the industry It's going to be the most Advanced of its kind In the industry And I would say You know For the first two weeks It was But then Things very quickly Started going wrong And I also Want to point out This ride Didn't open on time It opened about a month After they originally Said it would open So like That may Or may not be Fault to anybody For what they sold us And the amount of money The park paid We genuinely got Ripped off Oh, 100% This was This was a very bad Investment I don't even know What they were thinking About capacity-wise You know, like Here's Wonderland The most seasonally Attended amusement park In North America And we're getting a ride That can barely do 600 people an hour So you look at Guardians Line And it's going to have A two-hour wait But in reality If all those people Went to another ride That would only be A 20-minute wait I think it's Visually ugly The support structure I think the ride Used up a part of the mountain That was super valuable To the park And it was a waste of space 100% I think the ride Doesn't work It's been a maintenance Nightmare It's been a Huge nightmare To like Just even operations The technicians The electrical team Like everything It takes a lot of resources To, you know It takes a lot of crew And then All the times They have to spend Maintaining it You know Whether it's problems With triotech Or the actual Physical design of the ride The guns The guns Every day They're replacing guns Every week They're redoing The gun programming Like that's a lot of money That adds up And it's just hemorrhaging At this point So honestly Like I I don't understand Why they even Bothered Trying to keep that Around And they got rid of Eventually The problem With this ride I know the problem Is two things One, the guns And two, the charging So when the ride Parks in that station It's supposed to charge Really quickly So whenever the ride Guns aren't working A lot of the time It's actually Because they didn't charge Properly So you notice the guns Stop working Almost like Throughout the ride And then There's actual gun Problems too It was supposed to Have been fixed But every time This ride Is supposed to Have been fixed I know this Because I know the company That did Wonder Mountain's Guardian Show On the mountain Those were Expensive projectors But the projectors They bought for Wonder Mountain's Guardian Are the cheapest Projector You can possibly buy It's a horrible projector Everything about this Ride Is cheap Undermanufactured Not Disney quality And not Disney quality It's honestly Horrible And I know that There's someone At Wonderland That's gonna hate me For saying this Because when I Made my video About this It pissed off people But I don't Get how naive You could be To work at Wonderland And look at Wonder Mountain's Guardian And go That was a Really good decision Yeah This was Absolutely It was Everything The planning The execution You know Everything about This ride Was just a flop A thing Of course So it could run In all other conditions Did you imagine If it was all inside It could run during Winterfest If it actually ever ran But when this was built And made Like, do you wonder Was Winterfest Part of the plans Because I feel like If it was There would have been A change of plans I would have liked The Knottsbury farm design In the mountain It didn't need To be a roller coaster I think that's Where Wonderland lost Itself Was fighting For it to be A roller coaster And it should have So Again I guess Some of the positives To take away Is Wonderland Does think outside The box Didn't say it was A good thing But Wonderland Thinks That they're trying They're trying to Think outside the box And Secondly I do like The ability That The dark ride Idea And just To show That we're not Wrong That this is The biggest flop On the street This was supposed to be built At every Cedar Fair park Do you remember that? The Cedar Fair said We're gonna build one At every single park Did it happen? In fact On that King's Island There's that empty building The crypt And I'm pretty sure That's why they removed That ride Was for something like this I want dark rides At Wonderland too Like I want A good chunk Of dark rides We're definitely not Saying that No, don't go down This route But I just think The design Of the parties involved I don't know Maybe there wasn't enough Experience at the time Now I do think That this ride Maybe is Up in the air If they're keeping it Because I do know That they're supposed to be Adding the Yukon Stryker Bin system To this ride And it was Actually supposed to be Added this season We just went through And it wasn't But I did hear It was just time Constraint And budget So that could have Been why But I don't see Any signs of that Now the good news Is that the run Is getting a maintenance shed Inside its mountain area So that's kind of cool too These are This is really Like secret information So I just want to bring Something else Up with Guardian And I think it's kind of cool But I don't think The park acts on it enough Is the ability To change the story lines So they have Two story lines They have the regular one Where it's like Stance and fighting The dragon And the goblins Or whatever And then they have The haunt one And you will know A hundred percent Which one is better It is by far The zombies one The story makes more sense Everything's more cool It's more immersive But that Proves To everyone That they can Actually add A new story in So Wonderland should Be doing A new story Every season I think Like they should Be adding Something different And not just The same thing Over and over again Because if you can Switch from one Program to another Within a matter And have A third or fourth Or fifth program in there A hundred percent Imagine at Winterfest Save Santa's workshop From like These like Machine goblins That are like You know what I mean Like Because you don't want To be killing anything alive I don't know how You could kill Like a winter character And they could do Like something for Candida day Or you know They could do Something special Depending on the day Of the week Like it would be cool Candida day What are you shooting The maple leaf The tree We need the maple syrup Over there There you go Come on Stanson Oh man I think it should have Four seasons Like a spring one A summer one A fall one And a winter one Um Tinkers after dark Oh dear lord Um Yeah So Do you have any Positives to say About the ride My nose is That she's sorry guys Um I don't know If it still Stands true I don't know Actually I don't think it does But when Guardian opened It had the tallest Drop track in the world Oh yeah I don't think it does anymore I don't think it does I think something At Universal made out I think the drop track It was a huge success Like I think that was And the engineering behind it It was pretty impressive And um And I will say Did Peter design that Yeah Yeah So you gotta give it To him there That was like An impressive drop track Yeah they I think they did The design after Verbalton Like they wanted That but obviously bigger And it is a good drop Like if you've ridden Guardian You know obviously Everyone expects it now But if it's your First time on Guardian And you don't know What's happening Like it is It catches you off guard And it feels like You're falling for You know So in that aspect It's a lot of fun Now How could they Potentially Save Guardian Without removing it I have a few thoughts Like maybe Remove the screens And insert theming And a storyline No guns Maybe go For animatronics Or something Yeah Oh I don't like Cedar For animatronics Have you seen the boat ride Oh Or And I know It's a shame Because you know Triotech is a Canadian Company And they've done great work But maybe it's time To go to another Programmer Or developer For some other software You know See if Anything else Can work Put out a bid Because It is a cool Aspect Like when the 3D and stuff Cheesy and cartoony It's still a cool Concept And when it works Perfectly It is a fun ride It is cool So it would be nice For it to work Perfectly all the time Yeah You know And I think In order to do that They might have to Maybe work With a more Experienced company I know Triotech Added me to their Media list Without me even wanting To be on it So I get like These Christmas Greeting cards from them And I'm like You realize I am Okay For a project like this For you know The 10 million plus Dollars That came with Guardians price tag I think a more experienced Company should have been Involved Because we would have gotten A superior product 100% Alright Well You see what the topic Next is Don't ya I do And this is when It was at its best A fear fest Yes But we're going to talk About Paramount versus Cedar Fair Okay This is going to be A good one Okay So to start off The talk about Paramount versus Cedar Fair This is an age test We're going to talk About fear fest To start So I'm going to play A little clip for you guys Okay It works Let me know If they I've got to get The audio up in here In a second Because the intro Should have worked Because it had Things So let's go Okay I think they can Hear Again This should sum it all up For you guys Um So this is Ginza Gardens Um I think I pronounced It correctly Hopefully This was a little bit Before my time Going to the park But Oh I'm going to rant About that Jerry Don't even get me started On that Jerry I have a rant about that Because I hate What every Cedar Fair Fanboy loves We'll talk about that Thank you This wasn't going to be Part of the stream But now it is It is now a part Of the stream Um Okay But so For those of you Who don't know Wonderland used to be A really well themed Land A beautiful place Where people Of all cultures came To visit And then Paramount Bought the park You know what I got to get my face In here Okay And Paramount Bought the park And Paramount Came in And they were like What is that Japanese theming For a restaurant Uh-uh It needs to be Alright That needs to be Flight Dead Oh man Um Back at Stunt Coaster The The show in the The parking lot Oh yeah Yeah I still remember The alligator Wrestling show They had Behind Dragon Fire Like Man This park went from Great To horrible To now Cedar Fair is cleaning up So I'm a huge Cedar Fair fanboy Yeah I think Cedar Fair Is the best thing To Wonderland Yeah In Wonderland's history Yeah, 100% And it's only Gonna get better Um Cedar Fair Honestly Like a lot of people Do not give Cedar Fair The respect they deserve Cedar Fair People are like Well, how come Cedar Fair can't just Add this, this, and that Well Theme parks have budgets Um If they didn't They'd go bankrapped Or their stockholders So Cedar Fair The main problem With publicly traded Companies is exactly This So I could talk So Cedar Fair is a publicly traded company They have stockholders To answer to They have profits That they need to turn To make people buy stocks In Cedar Fair That's what they're Hell to So a lot of enthusiasts Don't know that So there's a reason Cedar Fair can't build Three roller coasters In one year At Wonderland There's a reason They can't build Four restaurants In one year To fix the Restaurant problem It's a budget And the budget Is there To please their stockholders It's never gonna change That's how But if you really Take a step back And understand The What Cedar Fair's plans are And what they're doing They deserve a lot of respect They're fixing a huge problem That Paramount was slowly creating No infrastructure investments Plopping down rides That belong at Three Like One million attendance parks Giving it to a Three million attendance park That's now Over a four million Attendance park And it's only gonna Keep growing Cedar Fair's in a really tricky position Where they need the investments On infrastructure But They don't exactly Have the time They're now behind They're catching up And they're never actually Gonna be able to catch up Fully, I don't think That's how quickly attendance Is growing up So The best thing you can do Is an enthusiast Give them a little credit Take a step back Understand they're playing Clean up right now And it's gonna take some time Obviously, yeah There's decisions Like flight deck And time work and all that Cedar Fair can't just come in And be like Let's remove Dragonfire Flight deck Time work Wildebeest Mindbuster The bat Riptide All at one Stop tower Let's clean up Oh, Wonderland has five rides now Oops So give them some time It's happening There are gonna be some changes Wonderland has overdosed For some removals We talk about this all time I just also want to point out The first year Cedar Fair took over Like full operation of Wonderland You know, we got a brand new $28 million B&M hyper coaster Like, you know We would have never seen Behemoth Anything remotely that expensive Or that tall or that fast Come into Wonderland If Paramount's still in the park That's a fact Like no one can ignore that And what was the biggest Increase in attendance At Wonderland? What? Well, no It was from Behemoth Yeah Wait No, no, no My thing has never been In a minute I knew Cedar Fair I've always known Cedar Fair Has been the best thing To ever happen to Wonderland But I still believe King's Island gets more love Than we do I'm a little heartbroken You changed up there Because you did start to see That Wonderland was getting The most investments But now you're back to King's Island I think King's Island Is gonna get something Before we do something big So you think We're getting a coaster In 2026? Yeah, we talked about this Yeah The math doesn't add up We can both get something In 2024 What's Carolyn's gonna get? That's another important part That's true That's true I want King's Island But point is Cedar Fair has treated us Better than any other owner In Wonderland's history And that's just Like look at the attractions We've gotten since Since they've owned us You know, like Two 300 foot plus Attractions You know, we've gotten Yukon Striker, Behemoth Skyhawk Even though Guardian was a Flop, it's still a $10 million attraction That's not a small investment You know, the restaurant Look at the restaurant That's like That's actually one of my favorite That could be my third Favorite attraction at the park There's like a riot Going on in the chat Of which rides coming next Y'all fight, okay? Fight and we'll comment Keep fighting So, yeah I think Cedar Fair Has done wonders For Wonderland And you know They've even implemented There's ways to make More money for the park Like with Fastlane And But Fastlane They've introduced Fastlane Your priorities are in line My priorities Oh my God Would you be able to go Without all season Fastlane? No, I've had it longer than you I know And you may Look down at you Oh my God Can we rant about that for a second? Oh my goodness I had Fastlane The first year Wonderland Launched Fastlane All season Fastlane I bought it For Craig and I To do ride challenges And this man This thing Had the audacity To talk behind my back About me being privileged And I was like That I thought I was above everyone And look who's buying all season Fastlane now I can't live without it I can't live without it It makes sense If you're gonna go As much as we do to have it But that's just something All Cedar Fair Thought of So Not only are they Giving us good investments They're more innovative Than Paramount ever was Like they're actually looking At our future Whereas Paramount's like Oh you know what Next year you're gonna We're gonna tear down that restaurant And give you a little movie shack Or oh let's give you an SLC That'll be good for ten years But Cedar Fair Is looking at our future Like hey you know what In ten years This part can go from here To here What do we need to do To get it from here to here And they're thinking about that Whereas Paramount is like Oh you know what Now it's time to sell it And make as much money as possible Yes You're gonna start a rant in me There is a woman An amazing woman that works at this park Her name's Heather Hill I'm supposed to not mention names But I have only good things To say about this woman She is the best thing That's happened to this park She has a vision for Wonderland She wants it to be Like the Disney of the North Okay That's what I've heard Through the grapevine That's not like confirmed But this woman is so good At her job And her vision for the park Is so good Like if The rumblings are true About this woman being Our new park president Guys Like I'm literally only Like I'm literally gonna Like kiss Wonderland's butt Like Oh my God I pray Like we love her No yeah Like she She is One of the hardest working people There's a lot of hard working people But she Like She sacrifices so much For that park And you can tell Like you know She has passion For what she does And the parts that she does Like she does Like when she looks over The rides and stuff She does such an amazing job Making sure everything Is running from an operation Stand point As smoothly as possible I have always I think Wonderland In terms of like You know Rider policy And operations And stuff We have some of the best In the industry Yeah And some of the most consistent And that's because Of this person Yeah She literally is so On top of ridership But it's Even take that out Like her job is Operations If you ever You'll know who we're talking about If you're ever at Wonderland And you see a woman walking around With these like Garbage grabbers That's her Okay so for those of you That have worked in retail Or worked in just any job When you know That one person That's worked at a job For so long They're always checked out Yeah Like they do bare minimum And they're just Sailing by For the most part Heather has worked there About one of the longest Like up there She's been there Since day one Yeah She Like works as if It's her first year And that she loves And breathes And sleeps that job And I get in like I could rant about her forever She is like And I hope that she knows That it's noticed Like you know what I mean Like I wish she could Like watch the segment Of the podcast And just know that Like there And this isn't just Do you talk to Like anyone When we When I posted My story Complimenting her On Instagram The amount of messages From Wonderland workers That are like Yeah she Like amazing Like there was no negativity I didn't receive one Comment That's the thing too With someone like her Like someone in her position Even just like from Average guests Like she'll walk around She'll interact With random guests You know she'll stop And say Oh are you having fun Oh you know The bathrooms are over there Or you can go to that restaurant Like a lot of people In her position Wouldn't give people The time of day They'd be like Oh just go ask them I'm busy To make sure everyone No matter how small Or how big it is Is having a good experience Yeah 100% What was I going to Rant about before that Remember someone asked A question I said I have to rant about that I forget now Oh hospital land What was the What was the original Cedar Fair CEO's name Dick Kinzel Dick Kinzel If you're watching I hope you're having A horrible life Yeah you're the reason Leviathanism Taller than Millennium Oh man This guy was like Cedar Point fanboy If you're a Cedar Point fanboy You love this guy This guy breathed Cedar Point Cedar Point got everything Ohio Blah blah blah He didn't believe in theme parks He didn't Or water parks He didn't believe in Like there was a lot This man didn't believe in No any other park In the Cedar Fair train Couldn't get anything Taller or faster Than Millennium Force Or Dragster Unless that went to Cedar Point They weren't allowed What kind of Business policy is that Like how do you Like what is that It's your own company You can't I don't know I hate them And you know the first year When he stepped down Do you know what they built The year after they built Fury 325 They gave the middle finger To Cedar Point Oh my god And like They're The hospital and The hospital and Wonderland being the most Attendant seasonal theme park I get that it was A smart decision At the end of the day Because it was Building a relationship With the city of Vaughn It still doesn't They can't run past them I mean I don't know how they would Like that's keeping I know they moved in After Wonderland But that's like Really crossing Like a line of I'm bitter about that But it's no different Than the GO train Running by my house Exactly The airplanes Yeah But this man sold The hospital and To pay off Cedar Fair stat They took the most One of the most profitable And we're not the most Profitable by the way Cedar Point is The most profitable Has a lot of outside Theme park revenue From the hotels Knott'sbury Farm Is also The second most profitable And I think King's Island is actually Slightly more profitable Than Wonderland But this was back when They used to release Those numbers They haven't released them In five years now I have a feeling Wonderland is way above Now Because King's Island doesn't Have any hotels That they actually own Right Yeah So I have a feeling We're way above now Especially with Winterfest But That land should Have a hotel over there You could have built A indoor Kingswood Over there With an indoor Water park over there You could have had the whole Water park over there And just shuttle people across Like a water bridge A bridge over the thing Like if they were Really thinking outside The box They're like Hey We have North America's Most attended Seasonal theme park What can we build Like how can we Profit off that No They didn't Dick Kinsle was like How can we make Cedar Point More profitable And we'll build about Raven Wonderland's dive coaster Can be delayed That's a hundred percent What happened Oh man Yeah Don't get me starting Dick Kinsle I could rant forever About Dick Kinsle being The at worst That land was Like over a hundred Acres too I think Guys Well I'm ignoring the chat I'm watching chat I'm responding to things That fit in with the Podcast What we Decided to do Is we might Actually go live After the podcast As To YouTube As a thing And I'm not Having to edit Anything out And we can just Do a personal Q&A And we're going to do A Q&A Hangout After the podcast For you guys For maybe Like 30 minutes So I thought That'd be cool So when this Does end We'll go live Immediately again And kind of Hang out And have some fun Alright So we talked About Everything's very Boring Rude We did Guardian We did Fear Oh, we're down to I just want to point out It's so cool How they always do They can't see me pointing But the floral flag How that Always been there Yeah, that is cool I think that's a really nice touch I miss Not Elpin Geist I have no idea Matterhorn Our version of Matterhorn I forget what it was called It was one of my fair rides With my dad It was such a fun little ride And it fit in the theming So well and now See how clockworks Clockworks moved over Shockwave moved over Where clockworks is In this photo I like the colors On Thunder Run there Do you see that From afar The gold and red That looks really nice So this photo though Was after After they moved Thunder Run In the mountain then In 1986 Yeah, because you can see Where the antique cars Replace Thunder Run Antique cars used to Have two tracks Thanks guys It's a Baron Curve Thank you so much Yeah, it was one of my fair rides Because I Back in the day If you don't know my history I hated Wonderland I loved Wonderland But I guess I was kind of The same as I am now Because I don't really enjoy rides My dad was actually the enthusiast And he forced me in a lot of rides There's a photo of me on the bat Literally losing my crap I did not enjoy it That's awesome Not that I gotta find it That is awesome that You didn't enjoy it So my dad forced me To go to all these places And that's That's the reason I love Wonderland so much Is it's my memories With my dad So I thought A fun new segment That Suri and I could do In these podcasts Is reacting to Karens Online There's a lot of those Yeah, I'm gonna find Some video ones too Because I know they're out there So I thought it'd be cool That we react To some Karens So Let's start it off With James Stapleton First off Confiscated Five cans of pop Yet people With stainless steel Drink mugs Can enter Not having means Of re-entry to the park Without having Your QR code My issue with Like What's his problem Because there were two Problems Like sentence to sentence But we'll talk About that in a second My issue with that today Was my wife Had our tickets On her phone I left Entrance area And could not Get back in Well, James I wonder why You couldn't get back in You did not think about That before leaving The park, James You didn't think about How maybe I don't Have my tickets on me They might not let me back in It's the same Literally anywhere else You go to If you go to the ACC And leave You kind of need something To get back in, don't you Like in what world In what world The entitlement The entitlement Like let me leave Wonderland Knowing them While they have a A front gate You have to go through That you have to scan They're going to just Know That I had to leave the park Go to my car Get something And come back in Like shame on you Wonderland For not knowing that James was simply Just going to his van And then furthermore When James is probably Yelling at you For not knowing that Then you're automatically Supposed to cave in And say Oh sorry Mighty James Sorry Right this way Here's the red carpet I'm just seeing If there's anything else Interesting to read on this That we can make fun Of their entitlement They could have paged My wife They could have paged My wife I'm so sorry James Could Miss Stapleton Please come to the front gate Your husband's Closing a seat Your man child is lost Oh my god You know what though There are people bringing Up some good points here I don't I still don't think James is in the right But I think that Wonderland could benefit From having the fingerprint Entry No six flags did that And they got in trouble for Yeah I do not want Wonderland having Fingerprints I don't mind it I don't know That might be a little Too much I mean like What are they going to do With your fingerprint Fast forward days Yeah yeah I don't know But yeah So to some of my day It was not expected To be this complicated The convenience For everyone Is a little off If you want to claim Convenience for everyone Does Wonderland ever claim Convenience for everyone Well no But if you have half a brain You can make it convenient For yourself Like I'm pretty sure It even says on the ticket Or they even tell you To keep your ticket That's common sense You always keep a ticket stub Or Like your QR code Nor you're going out To your car Why didn't you have Your phone with you Why does your wife Have the phone She just carries around Two phones I love that They could have paged My wife Mrs. Stapleton Your husband Is at front gate Trying to get in We are paging 40,000 people Right now Could you come Show us the QR code That your husband Simply forgot to bring With him Mrs. Stapleton Your husband Wants his phone back Reaction number two There's two of them here All right,

So what happened in midair You all magically just stopped working And you were lost That is so unsafe Yeah I think they should get rid of it They need to get rid of that I saw something on Narcity about this They know 100% what's going on It's like It's very unsafe In fact I'm gonna call the park right now And complain Oh I'm gonna email them I came down safely I was so worried You know what the safety things Like I thought they would have just dropped you Okay guys guys Tony is safe If anyone wants to know Tony is safe Thank goodness He broke down unexpectedly And he was scared for his life Because it's very dangerous But by some miracle He is safe Can you imagine if something worse happened Like it went up to heaven Oh my god It got lower down Like what if it went up Well I guess he wasn't that good He's not going to happen I came down safely And I tried to reason with the staff Wait did he want to go up Are you upset that you got off the ride I'm so confused Is he upset Her name is Anna A manager Who oversees some of the rides in the park Anna I swear to goodness If you didn't side with this man You're in trouble Anna he wanted to keep going up apparently But her attitude was just horrible Towards me Oh don't say She said it's normal No way Did she devalue this guest's feelings Yeah he is literally having a panic attack Having the worst crisis in his life And Anna just said Sorry it's normal Anna Tony it's gonna be okay Tony It's 2023 Anna or 2022 You should have known that if a guest Didn't want to return safely That you need to value their feelings Now Tony needs to go get Xanax To calm himself down Yeah this is horrible I can't believe the circumstances Of this complaint I'm 100% on Tony's side Yeah I think we need to make a go Fund me for Tony's trauma She said it's normal This sort of incident happens And it happens very frequently Frequently I've never seen it in my life Oh my goodness This happens once in a If we got stopped half way up Would it be able to hold our weight? Yeah oh my yeah Something called cable stretch And it'll be on his side It's the same sound When he gets in an elevator The technical difficulties Okay well What else happened to Skyhawk That we've never seen before Basically I can't I just read a little bit ahead Basically she doesn't care About people's life Oh my god Going from saying that it's normal To get Tony right You could just credit it It totally ruined my day It would have ruined mine too I just thought you guys Should know before you go there Yeah guys I think the moral of the story Is just don't ride Skyhawk I'm really glad I really think it was We took our due diligence here To spread the word of Tony Tony Tony People sympathize with you And you know what There is going to be an investigation We're going to have the people In the lab confirm this But there will be no unjust here Yeah we're bringing this To the federal government That Wonderland returns guest Safely This is unheard of Yeah this is true What do you mean the ride Just broke down The government's going to be upset About this they invested and made I'm so red I'm so red I like this Wonderland is going to need To pay for Tony's therapy I agree I agree Tony You got to seek a lawyer You got to seek a lawyer I feel like I should have got more This is going better than I thought This is kind Oh lazy bear was discussed Okay here's another Winterfest one Then we'll get to the lazy bear one I'm destroyed Went to Winterfest with my wife To hear some live Christmas carols A few of the acts were amazing But overall the entertainment was cheesy And for little kids I take that I take offense to that Because you see it all the time I literally want every single day I don't think I missed a single day Also there is nowhere to sit And enjoy any of the food They serve inside Or where it's warm Did they? I think they need to read this comment Yeah the comment below I just burped I'm so sorry guys You're literally just out in the cold For hours Unless you go in a gift shop Or the one tiny Starbucks they have We did get a seat After waiting in the Starbucks For like 30 minutes I can't with humans There's only six tables So good luck I was surprised that the prices Are the same as any other outside cafe I think he's upset They're not overcharging him Well I get it Wonderland if you're watching this Makes Starbucks more expensive People are upset Overall I don't think it was worth the money Kind of a rip off It's a rip off Because the prices aren't expensive enough I think I need therapy after that Am I young? Am I not acting my age? Am I horrible for enjoying the entertainment? Yeah I think you need to start complaining more It's part of the Wonderland experience apparently I need another drink after that How many do you have there? Mother! Can you schedule me an appointment With my therapist please? Brandon the mouse Give me a second I need to recover after that Winterfest comment So yeah I understand what this person is saying So basically If you guys don't know Winterfest is like this Arctic tundra event Where they purposely keep it cold According to that other person Like negative 35 degrees celsius And it's really a competition of who can last The longest before freezing to death And clearly this person didn't win You know His comment reminds me of roller coaster tycoon When you delete paths The guests are stuck They're like we can't move anywhere His review was basically like You're stuck at Wonderland It's cold There's nowhere to go They won't let us out Oh my god, it sounds like a reality TV show It's like Survivor Wonderland Arctic Edition They made us watch the same show three times And when we went to the Starbucks It was normally priced Why couldn't it be overpriced? Oh my goodness Okay, there's another review I should have gotten more It's gonna be a whole segment We're talking something bad about lazy bear Comment guys If you want to see more of these reviews We're gonna be an hour and a half today This is brilliant I think we need to find more of these reviews Yeah, well I can't do it live I can't let people see my internet history Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's okay Moving on Kenzie We already know this is gonna be a problem Kenzie W Look at her profile picture Or like Kenzie Owl She's a local guide Oh, this has got to be accurate then She knows about bears Lazy Bear Lodge was disgusting Sorry, I had to emphasize that I think I just Yeah, Kenzie is a terrible person Guys, the only thing she's got to do is a garbage I just coughed in No supervisors watching the staff Took 30 minutes for them to grab me chicken tenders Oh, honey, I know this is a lie Ask me how I know I'm the chicken tender expert Now she wanted to talk about hand breaded Okay, but she's completely falsifying it I'm a little concerned about how fast they can Grab the chicken tenders As my replacement meal Which by the way We're also undercooked It's undercooked chicken tender I think Wonderland overcooks That's just my personal opinion, but I ordered the prime rib Wonderland serves them And Angus smoked meat What Lazy Bear is she going to? Are you confused with like the keg? I'm so confused, where can I get the Angus smell? Can we come eat where you ate? Meat, which I swear I could still hear the cow mooing That was just Syria, guys Sorry, I got really excited about the background When I saw the tendies Occasionally when you are at Lazy Bear You will hear mooing That's Syria And if you hear whale talk, that's me We communicate We do communicate I still hear the cow mooing It was so raw Okay, Gordon Ramsay's wife I know how real smoked meat is made And this isn't it, people Kenzie You gotta trust her, she's a local guy She knows what's going on She's like one of Gordon Ramsay's mistresses She's so good at reviewing I bet you her review of What's the... Kelsey's across the street is a five star review Oh my The Angus prime rib over there I feel like an idiot sandwich just reading this Yeah I know how real smoked meat is made And this isn't it, people For a Muskoka grill She's a local guy, so she knows what that is A Muskoka grill, that's supposed to highlight True Canadian food, this place is embarrassing Embarrassing Embarrassing Can you believe it? She's a guide A local guide too, so that means she does tours in Toronto Wait, does that make us embarrassing? Because we go there twice a day I guess we're idiot sandwiches too We don't know what's going on If I would have known I was eating raw Angus smoked meat All this time I would have said something ages ago We'll never be eating here again Pack your own food in the car or eat before coming Her ham sandwiches with cheese that she makes at home Is better than the prime Angus ribs Especially after it's been sitting in the car for 10 hours I love that You can't beat a can of coke that's been sitting in that trunk Probably gonna bring trail mix or something My mother's food pork chop had blood on the bone Wait, pork chop, did they serve pork chops in the summer? No, they didn't This person doesn't Oh, a month ago, so this is Winterfest My mother's food pork chop had blood on the bone It's also raw It's like just let the outside look cooked And then it's pink bloody surprise when you dig in Well, maybe don't dig in, just eat the outside Oh, okay, but Kenzie doesn't have any photo proof guys No food oo... No photos will be attached Because your staff swiped our food away Before the rest of our customers in line could see the gross So were they causing a scene? Yeah, they must have been standing there yelling at them And the poor staff got so confused That Kenzie finally caught on to their scam And they're like, oh, we can't have this, hide the food Alright, Kenzie Anyone who watches my channel knows I am no fan of the food department at Wonderland And I had my little tiff with the food department But the one thing I will give Wonderland credit on And it's not a compliment to Wonderland Don't get it mistaken They overcooked their food They definitely overcooked their food They overcooked their food Now, Kenzie, I will recommend, if you don't like lazy bear You should go try this amazing place called Backlot Cafe I think you're going to absolutely enjoy it there And all the local guides say it's just the best place ever Do they? Well, from her circle, yeah Oh, right, right Guys, Kelsey's across the street, it's great That's premium, you should try their chicken tenders Yeah, it's so good Hand breaded I will say Wonderland's French fries though Guys, go back to your original French fries I don't want no sauce No sweet potato fries, keep the sweet potato fries Please, please Just don't give them to Kenzie They were bleeding The fries, the potatoes had blood in them They probably futter a seagull from Leviathan or something I'm excited to do more now Literally after this stream I'm going to be finding more I'm going to be like, oh my goodness This is good I'm going to go look up Kenzie's expert advice on restaurants Oh my god, maybe Kenzie has a website That Angus Prime rib, I don't know how she got that I want to know where she's been eating Because clearly she has a seasoned palate Her mother's portion was wrong Oh, the humanity Where was Little Bo Peep? Little Bo Peep, Little Bo Peep Mind something about my sheet? No? I don't know this one I miss on a joke All right, I think there's one more topic that we were going to discuss That I completely forget I'm trying to remember right now as I'm talking But because I'm talking it's not helping me remember So can you talk about something behind that? I think it's something to do with seating Front, sorry You didn't want to hear the poverty sound So I muted it It's still going to vibrate, okay? The Samsung's still begging for attention right now It's just, yeah, of course it is My goodness There was, no, there was something we were going to talk about I have to go check my Instagram story The front row There's this back row Oh! Yeah, because now I'm riled up Oh, okay I'm riled up too, okay Don't get me started I can tell I can tell too Have you washed that sweater out of your pants? Don't charge my pants right now Surya Brendan I'm going to ask you a few questions I'm going to give you a few answers How do you feel about a certain something at Wonderland? I feel very strongly an opinion based Well, how do you know what I'm going to talk about if I haven't mentioned it? Well, I already know you And I know you're okay going to row six Oh, I'm sorry I demand row one That's correct And row eight or nine, whatever you want to call it I'll go to row nine Yeah, you can go I'll go to row nine So Surya, how do you feel about Wonderland Sometimes Not allowing you to sit in the front or the back I get enraged Yes, you do So, okay No, no, no, no, no No, no, no, no, no Here's the thing, guys Let me break it down to you First of all, Leviathan is fantastic for this They'll let you go wherever you want Within reason And this is where it all comes down to, guys Within reason I understand not everybody in the line Can wait for the front or the back Makes sense You know, there's platform restrictions, fire codes Whatever Whatever, three, four train wait max But when they say one group of people To the front or back only No exceptions Like on Mind Buster And sometimes Behemoth That's where I have a problem I'm like, name me one good reason One valid reason why We cannot wait for the front or the back If there is available space Now that's the key thing Only if there's space If there is space, you should be allowed to sit Where you want Aw, muffin A big muffin Muffin Dopp Okay, I'm gonna play devil's advocate And be on Wonderland's side in this argument, okay Oh, oh Editor, can you insert Wonderland logo Over my face, please We don't have one of those, we can afford that Whoop-a-ham We'll have to add that to the list Oh, yeah, big list Big list Getting you stretchy pants Oh, my goodness Oh, my goodness Okay, so I'm Wonderland right now That's a diss Yeah, look at him, he looks like Wonder Mountain Wonder Mountain guys I'm basically Windseeker Okay I'm tired Okay, mister Let's say Wonderland were to let everyone choose What row they want to sit in How are they gonna get the capacity of these rides up? I want front row, next person line I want front row, I want front row, I want front row, I want front row And they'll stir you, I want front row And if you don't get me wrong, I'm gonna write an email I haven't written emails before I saw something you should admit to I saw something, it worked How many times do you ride these coasters in a day? That's right, so I should sit where I want to sit Okay, but within reason Is it gonna hurt you to go to the middle row one time? You know, it might, it might On behemoth it does Why? It's boring Cool, I mean half the rides at Wonderland are boring Have you been on Dragonfire? No, I don't ride that So then what's the big deal? So then here's the thing Now, this is where within reason comes into play If there is availability You should not refuse someone to go sit there If only if there is availability Now obviously, if everyone in the line is like I want the front, I want the front Which doesn't happen often, but every now and then does happen Then you have to have a strict no I'm sorry, you know what? On Leviathan, they're not allowed to block the fire extinguisher That is a valid reason, makes sense Maybe four or five trains worth of people Okay, fine, I understand I would go to a different row But if there is only one train worth of people there And they are saying no There is no good reason for that Now, I understand Okay, you wanna fill an MTC Let the person who wants to go to the front Go to the front And then take the next person And say, you know what? You go to that MTC If they don't want to If they wanna go to the front You keep filling the front then Until it's full to that point And then you're like, you know what? Unfortunately, the front is full at the moment You're gonna have to go to that seat You know what I think you should do? Wonderland Hi, are you watching? I know you're watching He needs to work behemoth for a day One day, just let him work grouping On behemoth for a day And he'll learn quickly So Oh yeah, I wanna split up families No, no, no Let me work behemoth So, you're grouping, right? You have, what, 30, 20 seconds? 30 seconds to group? So, 30 seconds to group Let's say you have a whole line of people That suddenly want the front row What are you gonna do? Like, full on By the way, this is We love each other We love it And we respect Wonderland And everything Okay, go And so, what are you gonna do? How are you gonna group? Again, it depends I'm gonna look at the front And I'm gonna look at the line And if the line is full I'm gonna be like, you know what? Unfortunately, as you can see The front is full I'm gonna have to ask you to go to any empty row If they then refuse I'm gonna be like, you know what? There's nothing I can do Unfortunately, my hand is forced Because as you can see The front is full No, the front isn't full I'm gonna be like, you know what? You can go to the front Until that certain point You can keep going Go to the front Go to the front Front's full You go row 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 You wanna go to the back Instead of going to row 9 Go to the back So it's okay for you as a grouper To send the random guest To any row that they want But big old Suria shows up And he's like I'd like to sit in the front Or the back Ken, if you don't give me either Or I will send an email To have a hill Which I have done before I have email proof So you can sit where I want No, no, I don't Are you entitled, little brat? No, so here's the thing Here's the thing I will not say anything If the front and the back Or whatever is full If they are like You know, they need to get their cycles in Which I understand Wonderland puts a lot of pressure Cycle, cycle, cycle Which is not a bad thing But if the front is full And it's within reason Like hey, you know what? It's full Or hey, there's a bunch of boarding passes They're coming to the front And if they say that They'll be like, sure, no problem I'll go wherever you want me to go But if they just say Go to row three And the front is empty And they're like Just go to row three And then I'll be like Oh, could I please go to the front? And they'll be like, no, row three But the front is There's only one group of people Waiting for the front So then I'm like Oh, why can't I go to the front? And then most 99% of the time They'll be like Oh, because I told you to go to row three That is not a reason That is not an answer So that is then where I'll be like Well, no, I'm going to go to the front Unless they give me a valid answer Oh, Kaden, yeah, because you were I've just been doing it Yeah, because you worked on Leviathan So much, Kaden Oh, there's tea there But most of the time There usually is someone Waiting in front and back Yeah But like Full honesty And this goes for This isn't Syria by the way This goes for most of the Enthusiastic community I will loan up to this This goes through a lot I've seen a lot of people In the Enthusiastic community Expect the front or back So my beep is with All of y'all No, I'm kidding No, but like really Like you ride it You have all people Us have all people We go to Wonderland daily Like literally every day So these people are Literally just trying to work Right? They're just trying to work They're just trying to What? Like is it really Like and be honest Like just not I bet there's a lot of people That agree with you too Like is it really that Much of a problem To sit in the middle one time? I know it ends up Being multiple times But So again, if there's A valid reason If it's too busy in the front We'll look at the front And I'll be like Hey, you know what? If I can't go to the front That's fine Or I'll be like Can we go to the front? And they'll look at the front I'll be like Yeah, I know it's busy I'll go somewhere else Someone asked if we're Sleeping over together What in the Brokeback Wonderland? He's the mountain! I will not have it You are literally jet scream You were removed Skyrider But so that goes back To reason And you know what? I don't think Like, yeah I can be a pain in the ass When I go to Wonderland But for the most part I think I treat employees Very respectfully And 99% of the time I will side with them Especially if they're getting Bullied by another guest In line Or if we see someone Like, hey, you know That person's line jumping And then, hey They just call this Employee, you know They're assaulting them I'll be like I'll do that You know what I mean? Like, I sympathize with the employees I know them A lot of them are my friends Just not behemoth So, yeah, that, yes Yes, Bea, I love behemoth But the thing is If there is space And this is my whole premise To my side of the argument Only And only if There is availability Then there is no good reason Not to go to the front I understood during COVID Like safety, like the Distancing and stuff But that's over So if there is availability And again, only if there's availability Then I will ask for the front And always the front Personally That's my personal preference And yes, I know I've been on Leviathan A million times But I think I enjoy it More than most people enjoy it So I'm gonna want to sit Where I want to sit Each ride And as cocky and bad as that sound That's the honest truth That sounds terrible I know that sounds terrible But that's the honest truth I'm gonna sit where I want to sit Not, okay, now that sounds bad When I say it It sounded better in my brain I'm gonna sit Where I want to sit Within reason Now, obviously if we're with a group of people And we want to go to the back Okay, we'll go to the back Or they say You don't want the front unoccupied We're trying to fill a train Could you please go to row four Okay, I will do that And I have done that many, many times I have no problem doing that He has I have no problem doing that But if I have the choice And it's feasible I will always pick the front Now, I was gonna say something else I don't know what you're saying Can you help me use it Your story about the little boy Oh no, I'll tell him that story Yeah, I have no problem with that No, I was gonna say The fast lane thing And I'm both sides on this I can understand both sides Oh, damn Um Maybe not Okay Say what you want to say But there are people that agree with you No I strongly disagree with you No, no I know what you're about to say I'm not gonna say my opinion Because I'm sure you guys can figure out my opinion I'm not gonna say where I stand with this But I'm gonna present the argument on both sides So you pay however much you pay for fast lane A lot of people will say Well, I should get to sit where I want to sit Now, again, this all goes back to availability and space If there is space You should be able to sit where you want to sit This goes for anybody, anybody However, I also understand that You know, just because you paid all that money Doesn't mean that you take priority over other guests And, you know, that's something I definitely learned And that's something I 100% respect Because at the end of the day There are two lines, right? And you have to pick from both lines And on the other side And this is specifically with mine buster And even though I have fast lane And we'll always have fast lane now Because we buy it I still think it's extremely unfair And I'm a hypocrite Because I will take the front on mine buster We will take the front But because you are only allowed one group of people Per row And they always let the fast lane in First, that means the fast lane will always take the front And people in the regular line Will never have the opportunity to take the front Now, that is unfair And if the front goes in first It'll be the same with the fast lane They'll never have the opportunity to take the front Now, I know both scenarios are unfair How do you make it fair? You just simply allow more people to wait for the front Now, I'm not saying allow 30, 40 people in the front But three groups in the front For mine buster or any ride That'll still prioritize fast lane over it I agree with both Kaden and Mr. Sandwich So when you buy fast lane It's just simply what you're purchasing Is a faster way to get on the ride That's how I view fast lane There's no other benefits to fast lane Secondly, I think There were a couple rides that alternated fast lane Weren't they? Didn't Behemoth do that? Yes, I think that's the perfect system I actually like that too But only if Within reason you can still sit in the row You want to say it I hate... So you know me I like fast lane, I bought it before you I'm a big fan of fast lane Call me a douche Whatever you want to call me Call me it Spoiled, whatever I like it It's a convenience to me But I also don't think I deserve anything more Than getting on the ride faster So I don't think I deserve to get the front row Over a regular guest That's not what I said by the way I did not say that I did not say that But I think the only thing that comes with fast lane Is getting on the ride quicker So that's my opinion on fast lane 100% agreed 100% agreed And the whole reason I presented that argument Was not because I believe people in fast lane Prioritized people in the regular line Or vice versa First of all, nobody is better than anybody That's the wrong mindset All I'm simply saying is If there is availability for the front Or a row that you would like to sit in That should be taken into account Only if there is availability Now obviously if the platform is overloaded No, there shouldn't be But if there is availability And the people... I just want to say it by the way Any employees of the park You guys always did such an amazing job Of accommodating every guest And I know I see people yelling at you Every single day But you guys honestly rocked At accommodating guest switches That's not what anyone is saying No one can sit there and say Oh, you know, like So-and-so from Leviathan Or so-and-so from Yukon Stryker Or so-and-so from here or wherever They told me I couldn't sit there Blah blah blah Well, you guys do work really hard To accommodate And I know it is a timeline You have to follow, right? You've got to load trains I understand that So I'm not saying this on you Or anything But all I am saying is I personally think If there is availability in a row Within reason Again, this is the thing I need to keep circling back to Within reason You should be allowed to sit there Will agree to disagree I don't know I know you've worked retail But I think because I've worked retail My entire life I'm like I just I insert myself into that person's head And I'm like It would be so Because you think about it Oh, can I get the front row? That immediately just took 15 seconds Like, that conversation Is an additional 10, 15 seconds Right? So That's how I view it Like, as someone that's working retail I'm like, you just Put like a little bit of like A blockade in that employee's ability To be like, here, here, here, here, here, here, here Well You know, I know that's really unfortunate And I'm sorry to have caused that But All I'm gonna say is I've never had a problem on Leviathan That's all I'm gonna say Well, you are Leviathan Okay, now I feel like there was something else I'm gonna check my story Check your story I'm gonna make sure we're not missing anything I will say this about Yukon's line Yukon has my favorite line Where they do the front row I think all rides need to have A dedicated front row length Like Yukon I don't know if anyone's ever gone to King's Dominion Intimidator 305 That has a full separate queue for the front So I think they do that really well And that's a cool thing I agree, Mr. Sandwich So everyone knows me I would just be like, yeah, I'm okay with the middle But I also know that I'm not an enthusiast Enthusiast Oh, the comment got deleted But yeah But saying yes or no Doesn't get you Those few seconds back No, but the problem is It's when they do say no Sometimes guests It's not even just guests do fight them I've seen it so many times where guests He's never gotten Like he's never taken it out on the employee The most you'll do is go, okay And you'll go there and then he'll send an email But guests do fight the ride-offs Like they'll fight the ride-offs on it That is unacceptable That is unacceptable If you have a problem You just suck it up Say what it is And then you properly deal with it You don't sit there And you don't start yelling and abusing Because that is abuse And that's not tolerated at Wonderland And it should not be tolerated in any workplace So if you get kicked out for that That's on you So We are gonna wrap this up And then we're gonna go live again Just to like, hang out Plus I've had a few I was just gonna say how many have you had? Four Do I go to your workplace Look at how many times you went to McDonald's And go, you went for- Actually, Peterland Peterland Oh, it's a little more healthy You can hear the sounds I'm just peeing I don't, yeah I'm trembling Okay, so we're gonna start another Q&A Q&A after It'll be a hangout session too We can just shoot the shoot We can just shoot the shoot Shoot the ride Shoot the shoot I don't even say I'm coming along I should drink more You should drink more often Shoot the shoot We're gonna shoot the shoot guys I just want you all to know though He gave me a queen glass And I have King He's driving home So he only had Oh, I have the Oh, okay, let's do that Yeah, yeah This is really cool I think this is your coolest part so far This is my favorite part Although I am a fan of a Yukon break plate Oh, this is heavy So That's what your doctor says to you Oh This is so clever So Once a week Once a week, I'm gonna try And bring a part Or something Rule or coast related Or theme park related And I know some of you Have seen this If you're from my lives or whatever And I think this is the coolest thing I own The story about how I got this Is pretty basic But I think it's really cool Because I was a lot younger And I was It's cool I was surprised This Guys Is about a 20 pound Titanium bolt From Top Thrill Dragster I won this At Coast Romania In 2014 This goes onto the front car I am not 100% Sure What its purpose was I know it was some type Of a locking pin That had something to do With the front car And the bottom pole I just want to show How big it actually is This is a super sized phone By the way Not your regular sized phone It's like one of those Larger phones This is about a foot and a half Long Again, it weighs 20 pounds Solid titanium So yeah This was In the front car Top Thrill Dragster Fastened the mechanism To the dog The pole That would drop down Into the catch car So basically this Do you want to hold it Would you feel more comfortable There you go I can't hold that It's too heavy for me That's what the scale says Everyone Basically this bolt Would be fixed on either end And you could actually Kind of see I don't know Like those grooves Oh yeah So right around In the center of this bolt There would be Like a tooth If you bring it up to the camera They might be able to see it actually Don't drop it on my computer Do you see those grooves Yeah So right around there That's where There would be another Mechanical device That would grip onto this bolt And basically this Would take the weight Of the 10 ton train 10,000 kilogram 20,000 pound train And this would help Launch it down the track This one singular Piece of titanium Um So I won this At Coaster Mania 2014 And it was a Q&A session And the only reason I won it Was because I could put my hand up I put my hand up the fastest Like my hand I was ready to go I didn't even know If I would have known the answer I just wanted to be the first Because there was a lot of people So I know a lot of people know this But they asked What the exact horsepower Of Dragster's launch was And that's 10,008 horsepower And for a prize I got this This has been with me Since 2014 And it's probably My favorite thing that I own Like if there was a burn No, if there was a fire I'd just let this burn Because it's metal What are you going to save? Your grandma's in your house And you said you would save His grandma lives with him And he was going to save this Over his grandma Now I will say though This is missing a couple of parts There's supposed to be another locking On that side That's why you like it so much A lot of relativism Missing parts But yeah Solid titanium weighs about 20 pounds Pretty cool Brendan, do a curl with it I can't I literally can't Okay, I can't I can't Don't throw the mic Okay, I'm going to put this Back on the table now That's awesome All right Well That brings us to an end Of the stream, I think You know what?
