oh my goodness hello this is mr. sandwich right yes that's what you like to go by right okay my my online persona and you know if you see me in person you can call me that too that's fine oh so this is mr. sandwich he's been a help a great help yes and he is filling in as the co-host that's right yeah in the future there may be other new people that take this place we'll see how things change and try to rotate in new faces and new opinions but yes so the podcast I guess I'll give the statement now so obviously Surya is not here Surya will never be here again unfortunately and I do say that word seriously and I mean that with the bottom of my heart it is just not gonna work our friendship moving forward and it's just in the best interest of him and myself that we don't work together anymore yeah absolutely and this isn't to to attack anybody so we ask the please don't and I'm not expecting that you know you would Brennan you has a pretty good audience but please don't direct any negative comments towards any of his social media or say anything about him in person this isn't that kind of thing and he doesn't need that and won't help anything so yeah yeah that's what we are whoa let's get into it so how was your week this is different I actually I'm gonna learn something for you where as when I asked the other person that question I knew everything that happened the week I don't know anything that happened in your week I mean it was a lot of keeping up to date with things from home constantly watching for tundra to see what it's doing if it's doing anything different which it has done a few different things this week but still mostly the same that we've seen yeah it's every day it's like oh it could open tomorrow and then it doesn't we'll talk about time so we have a whole segment of time because I'll give you guys the podcast doesn't happen for two weeks obviously a lot's been going on in our personal lives but we're here there's a lot of information today we're gonna give you everything that I possibly know I haven't made construction updates so yeah you're gonna get a lot of information because I do have do I have tea to share I can't remember when we get there I'll remember I do yeah yeah I feel I'll share as much as I know but um yeah my week's great yeah I mean it's you know it's as good as it can be yeah next week will be better how do you join the discord so these the discord chat is for our patreons if they ask questions I'll try my best to answer them sometimes they post things to make fun of us sometimes I guess at this point too I guess that we didn't think I didn't think about that either obviously if we could not share pictures of Syria yeah that would just be easier I think anymore in the stream yeah that would just be great so I know my patreons will respect that yeah and just again respect everyone involved so yeah people are there oh my god lovely lore everyone go subscribe to her she's amazing she does produce some nice videos but you probably need to be into fashion a little bit to enjoy them but if you are I am into fashion definitely she's worth checking out for sure oh man um so should we should we go on to the first yes thank you for yeah okay you gave me advice to not read the chat I'm gonna ask my moderators to delete anything involving the person to just today guys on what the podcast is supposed to be about right yeah oh who's with me this is mr. sandwich what do you do I do a lot of things I'm a photographer videographer I do video editing I've recently gotten into some graphic design work I actually designed this shirt I don't know if you've been on the discord you've probably seen this guy his name's Chris he's a he's a bear yeah I do a little bit of everything he is a sandwich I am that as well bridge Bob saying he does amazing photos oh thank you so much that's awesome yeah professionally a sandwich I actually I don't get paid I'm an amateur see your subway that wasn't funny why are you laughing that was like a dad joke okay so let's get right into it no this is in the wrong order what order do you want to do it just click oh you know let's do it okay ride removals okay you start it okay well ride removals everyone I saw in the chat everyone's talking about what's gonna get removed and some of the people I think are right and some of them I think are not if you're hoping for flight deck to be removed anytime soon I don't think so guys I don't think so based on what we've seen it seems like time warp stands a much better chance of removal than flight deck just due to how surrounded it seems to be by all the survey work they're doing whereas flight deck is more they're encroaching you know I mean they're getting close but they're not it's not all the way around so like someone said maybe we'll lose some of the queue but I think the ride is gonna stay for at least the foreseeable future yeah so you're gonna get a little map I'll show you guys a little when we're talking about 2025 I have a map of the surveying and then I have my guesses on that map but when it comes to ride removals as mr. Samus just said every survey marking that there is around faces in towards time warp exact or is on time warp whereas flight deck it's in its queue line and the ones in the queue line 80% of them are facing time warp as well yeah and that kind of tells you where they're gonna survey from and usually that gives you an idea of like the area that they're trying to map out because they need to be able to see the targets from where they are to develop a map of that space yeah so if they were gonna move flight deck you would I think we would expect to see more facing in towards it so they get from within that area so there is three survey markings attached to flight deck but our all are attached to the station of flight deck right which we know World Expo is on its way back so I was thinking about it you would be surveying flight deck if you were retheming it and that's what also scares me about time warp so there is the possibility I know right oh can they redeem it to a good ride I hope the construction company then charge of retheming just like actually you know when they hit the med they just like yeah I might go to school for a blue collar job just to be the one that drives into it oh we can hope no but now I'm having second thoughts it's so hard to tell because there's so many different things that they could be doing yeah this work right it's not a guarantee what the result will be because really surveying is just about building a map it's about building a model that they can work with and you don't they could just be adding on you don't have to take anything away from that so it doesn't necessarily mean that they're moving anything the good news is some of the surveying is elevation surveying yeah so they're probably checking for clearances heights for if they're trying to run things through that area I think I think Kingswood has got to be going for so many reasons I mean the tent that they cut down all the surveying that's been happening and then and then think about back when they used to use Kingswood the acts that they would get then I don't think they could get now so it was they even yeah there's too many other venues around that's what I mean bigger venues better infrastructure at the venues so could they really use it I don't know they have no one when the minute they cut that tent that was that was yeah yeah that's what I was thinking now the one thing I will say is I do know the tents coming down soon yeah yeah so you should see the tent coming down before December that I don't know when but I have heard the contracts were signed to remove the tent okay on top of that it looks like the cell tower and take this with I hate you I hate seeing this term now because everyone calls me on it take it with a grain of salt but it looks like the cell cell tower something's happening to it it's something's going on yeah it's it's all it's so hard to know because they could be just upgrading the infrastructure inside or and speaking of haunt where do you think vampire disco is gonna go well yeah because they start so if they start December yeah well December I mean it would be okay for this season but if they start it because sometimes they start that kind of work during haunt right and especially because that area is not other than vampire disco it's not really part of the park so they could kind of keep everything in there and it's true they're already doing that you see the fence for the schooling event we'll see but they might depending on what they need to do like vampire disco doesn't take up that much of the area so no but it didn't work in there anyways it was too off away from everything else out of the way and people might not like we in the first year they did it I didn't even know what it was until like the last couple of weekends and I was like what's this music let's go to vampire disco should be near Leviathan I think you imagine the crowd like what do you think they would put it it's too crowded over there that's already you have to balance like you want to drive people to other areas yeah so now we're talking about how we in haunt we're all we're derailed let's let's steer back to the construction because someone in the comments lovely Laura asked wait which tent so if you don't know Kingswood has a huge huge tent structure suspended over to a perfectly yeah like that and it's big cables huge tent material and what was it 20 was it 21 winter or 22 winter when they cut it 22 winter whatever just happened yeah they were gearing up to take the tent down and then I'm assuming they just realized they wouldn't have time with incoming weather so they just cut it yeah so it's not coming back okay so let's get back ride removal so I just presented an argument where you know maybe time where it stays and it gets a new theme could now go ride time warp I suggest everyone go ride time warp and look at their drive tires I've heard I haven't seen them because I don't ride time warp but yeah it's I've heard that they're not looking too good the draft tires are like shredded to bits and this lift hill squeaks so loud going up it now it's falling apart and I think that's okay it's not a safety problem at all it's just it's probably not getting the amount of money thrown at maintenance that you would do if you intended to keep it for a long time but it's if they're not then they might be thinking well there's you know we'll just use these until we're done using please change the POV this is our ride removal talk y'all are taking part in this ride challenge okay I already did that one my shoulder still hurts but you know what okay so one I think you and I do you think time works getting removed yes or no I honest I think it is I think it is but part of that might be me having some wishful thoughts but I think from what we've seen and the age and the type of attraction and like it just hasn't held up well I've heard people say that they used to like it and now it's terrible I never wrote it when it was young you know but it doesn't seem like it's in great shape and with all that we've seen I think they're probably gonna get rid of it yeah I agree I think I think time warps going I think I still remember we just saw this surveying for a time warp appear this week they just passed yeah burping I gotta stop drinking energy drinks on this stream I'm so tired today I think flight deck like I mean we see one at the very drop of flight deck there's a survey marking and then there's two or three there's two attached to the station one just on the service road turn into the station and then a whole bunch in the queue line one facing out of the park and the others facing time warp so it's really hard to tell I mean by next week yeah it's and then the other thing is because we can't get into like we obviously can't go behind time warp we can't go into the Kingswood area so there could be more information in terms of where these markers are we just can't see them or can we you'll never know no one knowing police are gonna like bust through the way right now podcast is speculation it's all it's all our opinion hi wonderland shut it down okay no I'm getting um but yeah I'm assuming that there are markings all over the inside of Kingswood there probably are there probably are yeah there is yeah we can't see them but they're in there um let's get so I saw many people want to keep hearing about the chaperone policy at wonderland my DMs are like it's not gonna happen no and why because if you go to the park and look at who's there during the day you're gonna see like 60 70% people who would be affected by the chaperone policy and they just cannot afford to shuffle all those people out and say no you can't come during certain hours it would crush them wonderland would literally like our world expo expansion would be canceled if we introduce as much as after opening day I was like look yeah chaperone policy you know a couple days to cool down and see how things have improved because as much as you know there's some hiccups with new security measures as there would be with anything yeah I haven't seen anything like those things that happened on opening night in terms of what we saw there so hopefully you know whatever they've done has has made the difference it needs to I think just an increased security presence and people seeing them in more places kind of makes people think twice about what they're doing a little bit and yeah so there's obviously still problems sure there's always gonna be yeah you can't stop everything no no and no place does like I work up in Aurora like New York region and it's supposed to be a quiet town and we have problems too yep but outside of that wonderland has definitely gotten a hang of things I feel a lot safer I feel a lot more comfortable and I see wonderland is squirting people out all the time yeah I've seen even line jumping wise they've gotten really good at seeing that too and just like in general like I said just more security in more places I feel like I've seen yeah although what is the apology not accepted for is it the flight deck is it still about removing the flight deck well you know everybody has their own rides that they don't like okay but imagine in flight decks place a wing I prefer flight deck no I'm kidding I'm kidding you know everybody hates on the wing coasters but I I think they look like they'd be good I haven't seen I haven't been on one I don't travel that much for coasters so like most of my coaster experience is at wonderland but they look fun yeah okay wing coaster the first drop is amazing yeah and then the first inversion is amazing the first airtime hills amazing and then for some reason it just loses all its speed yeah and then I feel like you're on a slower version of you construct okay like it literally crawls through the elements and wonderland building a 205 foot version they don't trim so for example they had to put winter wheels on gatekeeper two seasons ago they had to winter wheels in the summer in the summer okay to help it get through its course but see that makes me wonder like is that not a design thing like so for example Leviathan mm-hmm they had to add yeah that weight to the car because it you know used to not complete the course will say yeah successfully all the time in all conditions but then fury hasn't had that problem right so maybe you know this is something where they can work that out as they improve the design that is a hundred percent I definitely trust that and someone in there just said that you know wing coaster and flight deck and time warp spot would be perfect for the park and as much as I really hate it it is true yeah it is true look really nice it another another coaster that you can see from all the same left the same angle you know like literally just like four B&M's going up into different angles of the sky but the trains are all different right the trains are all different yes look look as a photographer that matters okay anyone out there who takes photos of these rides you know that taking a photo behemoth looks different than Leviathan because of how far it stretches across the track just looks better it does I'll give you that yes that is true and I don't even know anything about photography I pull out my iPhone I'm like I'm a I'm a professional standing next to you it helps like extend the view of the wings right so if we get a wing coaster hope it's long so you're telling me all I need is a long shirt to extend my okay fashion advice taken but I honestly think I don't we're always talking about the Chevron policy because I swear my DMs are like they keep all can you give you an updated opinion my updated opinion is one less likely than it ever has been this year so I think it's gonna continue to be less likely as things yeah they're the security team is doing really good oh Tundra Twister we all we differ on opinions here oh oh guys don't you fret we have different opinions up in this podcast still okay I do agree with what you're about to say I'll give you that music too loud there's music here oh no music on this clip oh my okay I'm so sorry I forgot to edit out the music I'm gonna try and mute it give me a second guys okay one second of loud music I'm gonna try and cancel at the audio yeah we're gonna we're gonna use hi picture this being Tundra Twister running okay it's majestic and huge so so I've heard that oh it's it kind of looks it's boring you know it's but I feel like if you like Cyclone Tundra Twister at the very least is gonna be like a big Cyclone right even if you got a ride where it's like it didn't flip very much you know it doesn't spin very fast it's still a big pendulum ride compared to one we have and it still does go all the way up keep talking um so I think it's kind of it may differ on those lines I also think that it's probably going to be more variable in terms of how good of a ride you get than most the other flat rides shockwave would be closest I'm sure everyone has had the experience of sometimes you get on shockwave and it's awesome and you're flipping like crazy and then other times not so much just based on watching Tundra Cycle I think that's very much gonna be the case but maybe to an even bigger degree I was gonna try something but it's just gonna blast them with a lot of music the minute I do it I was gonna edit a picture of Tundra Twister in but it's okay so my opinions on Tundra Twister I agree with him even if it doesn't flip it's gonna be like a giant pendulum ride it'll be it'll be cool I have heard from people that wrote it that it's kind of yeah and it looks kind of meh from the animation it probably won't live up to what I maybe hoped yeah I would but I still think it's gonna be good I think it's gonna be fun and there's the visuals and the interaction with everything like coming down like something you can't necessarily tell from that POV again is because of how variable it is you might have cycles where you go on and you're coming down upside down over the the track at Yukon's you know mid-course drop right yeah so coming down upside down over that that's a cool visual with that close interaction with the ride so like it then it's really heavily on exactly what kind of cycle you get the POV doesn't do it justice how do you know you haven't been on it I I think it doesn't from this type of right is the same as like shockwave right if you do a shockwave POV like you can't necessarily tell all the variations that you're gonna get from riding shockwave multiple times from a POV well I'm see Wild Beasts is gonna be talked about in today's podcast it's not really something that is gonna happen as of yet like you're looking more I like gravity group being likely yeah that's what I would think yeah and I have talked about RMC Wild Beasts yeah that's true you can find it on a different podcast right whoo um the Thunder Twister okay so when's it gonna open when's it gonna open let's go over what I know okay this is what I know the ride is commissioned yeah 500 say I'm everything I'm about to discuss the Thunder Twister is pure speculation and rumors until Wonderland makes an announcement right the commissioning for Thunder Twister is done yeah we saw someone there who looked like they would probably be from TSA from yeah the way they were because they were looking at every aspect the railings the signs the fences so they have to go in and they have to make sure you have all your safety signs in place the signs that talk about oh don't ride if you have back problems or whatever they have to make sure the railings are secure and so that's kind of what looked like it was going on and that would happen after yeah that commissioning so I can confirm it it had to do 500 cycles it did the 500 cycles today it did the last we heard it was in the process of the 50 cycles no problem and then after those 50 cycles TSA showed up yeah from what we know and there it should be good to go but it actually opens is up to the park so if the TSA visit went well today and the 50 cycles went well if you go to the park tomorrow thank you for the wait what is this that is kind of cool that kind of looks neat yeah mr. X I should just keep that there um it should be open tomorrow but we don't know that at this point I guess what I would say is I don't see any reason why it couldn't be open tomorrow as far as we know people have been trained on how to run it it's finished the commissioning we saw someone they're doing what looked like was probably TSA inspection and as far as we know it's completed the the 50 cycles without issue part so it's there's nothing that we know of that would prevent it from opening but you know we've said that it might open soon for a while yeah who knows who knows coaster cat is a question so why does can is one of them get first for flat rides why can't they just get what's good and re-ride a bull I I think I would take tundra twister over what Carolyn's got any day that's a tough question it is because there's so many different decisions that could go into which flat ride I know we were looking at the what is it called the financials report that they did just before the podcast the June 23 and one of the things they said there is that they the guests look for first of a kind or unique for one of its kind yeah traction so excuse me I think that might be part of the factor for them that they think well if we can get something no one else has them we can advertise as like the only one in the world right and then at that point it's like they don't know if it's good until they ride it you know so and I think another part of it too is if you look at the flat rides that we have versus what we could get there's yeah there's different ones that we don't have but there's a lot of similarity and overlap with what we have like okay we get a scream and swing but that's kind of similar to Cyclone like yeah they're different rides but it's similar enough where they might have said no we need something it does something more yeah then then just swing back and forth you guys are also leaving out like a really important factor of Canada's Wonderlands lineup and it's the unique flat ride collection they have the most unique flat ride collection in the world and I don't think Wonderland wants to change that so yeah unfortunately it means rides that take a little bit longer to get going and maybe have some hiccups but yeah but I mean hey I wonder what's maintenance team must be one of the best trained in the industry with all these unique one-of-a-kind rides yeah and now that they have to I feel like that's just gonna incentivize them to have more because the more you have the harder like they're ahead of other parks now true who might try to like beat that record right yeah if they get a third one you know I mean eventually like you know they could have four one-of-a-kind only in the world flat rides and like that's a pretty big boast to people who like those kinds of rides so and we did meet an American last year that says he strictly comes to Wonderland because the flat ride collection and in fact if you go into the fast lane lines for flat rides you will see the non-plus fast lane bands and the price between those two is so similar the only reason I could see getting that is if you only go to the park really for flat rides right so there's people who do that times your twister but the change that that's true they'll have to get the plus now if they want to ride like that extra $15 our average ticket yeah well the per capita take is up to you we'll have to we'll save all the financial stuff for yeah we were just looking they just released their June report those are my favorite because sometimes sometimes there's tea like though like that's usually where you know how much they're gonna spend yeah so in q4 this year they'll usually announce their cap x for 2024 yeah um which which leads nicely into the next 2024 on the bam hopefully there's no music well hopefully there's no music on this one is there no there's and it's just a picture so what so what are we gonna get in 2024 I'm not giving up goddamn hope on this action theater please it's just sitting there oh my god if they do not invest in action theater like I heard okay for those of you that have been this podcast I used to have a source okay they still work for cedar fair it's not even a source it's just it was you constrictor media day and they came out and talked to us and everything that they told us that was coming has come true now except for one thing action theater we were told that action theater was gonna get a dark like a dark right and it was gonna be sometimes sooner than later yeah and it is 2023 and I still think that it has to do with um soren opening yeah because I think with what grace said on the podcast that she was on about how they wouldn't get an attraction that another venue already has in ontario maybe they were planning on that and they were in the works to get that done um at the planning phase and then when they realized oh they're gonna have one too they thought hey maybe we should change what we're gonna do and and they're now in that process and it's hard to say how far along they could be because they probably don't really have to do any surveying or anything for this one they just go in there and start work right like if it's all inside the building what is that um mr. excellence just being awesome as usual oh yeah that's the new flying over thing that's flying over on that is what that is the reason action theater that's why that's what we're gonna blame for action theater being delayed it's just still holding out because frontier canada is not done if they in frontier canada like that but it's just a question of when they'll get it done and how much longer this pushes things yeah because we do have a theory you and I have been talking about this a lot lately about why we don't know for sure okay are we gonna I can't say too much because like I can't say too much and you know this right but I know that ground is going to start digging in December for 2025 that's all I'll say to that yeah so we'll know where the location of our 2025 coaster is in December right based on that I'm hoping that it's still frontier canada I hope so because it would make sense to you know put the capstone on that before moving on yes other things but but what's your what's the theory that we discuss we think that it's possible that based on the crowds at front gate and the issues that have been happening there with moving guests into and out of the park that they may have originally planned to do frontier canada first and then whatever might be coming for front gate second but they may have kind of switched the order of those things and said maybe we need to switch this up and do front gate first because we just don't we need to get that done and we can't do only part of it right so however no we'll talk about that in 2025 topic because there's a lot going on in world expo that I want to talk about that you guys haven't been made aware of right I haven't made my construction of that I'm going to get back to content now I've had my rest but 2024 so Wonderland does follow a timeline for investments it's really f and obvious yes like it's it's literally like to a T it's always like flat ride flat ride kid ride flat ride flat ride water slide like and then coaster so 2024 it's pretty easy to be like oh we're probably gonna see I you know I could I could definitely see there's gonna be something next to snoopy's racing railway yeah there's room there yeah and I mean they haven't they haven't they haven't finished like the landscaping on that hill yeah next to it kind of looks like so maybe they're leaving that because they know they're gonna do something more extensive at some point yeah so there'll be probably be a kid's investment we'll word it that way and then there's gonna definitely be either a flat ride again yeah or a dark ride I'm pointing as if you guys can see where I'm pointing here there'll be either a dark why is it not working dark right yeah which it's reversed um when a water slide yeah it could honestly be all three that yeah I can't do it park is now close always been Adam hacker were you watching the podcast from that little seating area that's so cute it's a nice area though oh yeah yes what the jet oh steaming used to look like yeah mr excellent mr excellent you are being excellent that's what I want to see come back to yes there's so much potential for things that they could do we were even just talking earlier like they could have candy and snacks from there's some of the the countries that are represented as part of it like yeah like in shops like that people love that kind of thing you know there's there's so much you can do and it's a shame that yes julian ginseng gardens yes exactly it will come back guys I think it's so easy to predict I think that's their plan we're gonna talk about that too we will because it's so funny I was editing for the podcast and I'm watching my own videos that I've edited like four times now for construction updates and I'm like wait I've been telling you guys that they've been working behind chicken shack and then we just I just I looked at it today I'm like that's not chicken shack that's back lot yeah so there's infrastructure work going on behind back lot um I got to experience the world real world expo and it was I remember Great Wall of China I remember that oh that's one of the only things I remember from there but I remember can we take it back from carolyn's like I wish I wish something we need that back we're gonna dig it was so good it was so if we wrote it today I'd be like it was a nice family ride let's be honest like it was like it was on the level of say spin of air yeah in terms of the thrill and and what you would get out of it which is just fine they need rides like that yeah they need every level of especially if you have a dad that it was an enthusiast that drags you on the bat as a first coaster traumatized that's why I liked I liked the flintstones antique cars there it is and Great Wall of China that was one of my favorite rides and then Baron's Curve yeah my my dad would pretty much only ride like stuff like that so everything else he would sit out of oh thanks fazbear I hope I said that right I think so why'd they remove that in the first place well you want to see why they removed in the first place I'm about to piss one person off in the comment section of the podcast that's what's there instead that's why they were to put that in um okay we won't punish the person in the comment section I I know it's not on the list but do we want to talk about our thoughts about Snoopy's at all since we've now oh been on Snoopy's Racing Railway okay we did get a chance to go on it just quickly um I like I mean obviously it's not for me but for what it is I liked it I had a smile on my face the whole time it's really cute all the sound effects and the voices and everything and the animatronics I'm about to sound like such a child I love everything about it every time I go over there I have a smile on my face but I do too I like the storyline like when you go in so when you walk through the line there's like uh I don't want to give away too much but this is you know not like it's a spoiler but there's like wanted posters for the bad seed gang of birds and then on the way out on the exit there's the same posters but it has like captured stamped on them because that's kind of part of the you know the mission that you go on yeah or whatever so I think it's I think it's a big step up from what they've been doing and I hope they stay at that level I have a video I'm going to work on I was supposed to work on it last week about how it's coming to every top five park it's so obvious I just want to touch on it brief yeah no no no always yeah no it's I love it I love everything about it I love I really yeah like a build another one and I'd be happy even the paint like when we're coming in and that that big sign has the hand painted like wood stock express or whatever on the building like that even that I love that all of it yeah the signs there and the and you were like someone pointing so when we were writing it there's so much detail that the reward signs changed to captured when you exit the right that's what I was saying yeah it signs yeah so it's pretty cool wonderland paying attention to every single detail hello like this wonderland that's true I like it a lot now can we get dips the dipping sauce bring your own from home I'm sorry first top 10 list I gotta I'm gonna start doing a bunch of videos I'll touch on this at the end of the podcast amusement insiders is gonna change a little bit we had a meeting in discord almost a week ago when stuff went down and I'm overwhelmed obviously so I can't keep up with the demand of doing daily content and it ran me dry so it's a lot to to think of what you're gonna do to get all the shots you need come home figure out how you're gonna edit it what are you gonna say and record over it yeah it's a lot um I was talking to you at wonderland about you know we'll talk about that there's a really deep thing that I have to admit that is why I got sick over time to twister capturing everything first yeah so I'll open up to you guys about that because I made myself sick yeah and I can't do that again uh 2024 okay so water slide slides so let's talk about you have the map let's bring up the map yeah okay um I circled in in blue so if you look at the blue circle next to mine buster there was a lot of surveying going on here there was surveying going on towards kingswood but then there was surveying going on in general yeah around there you good burping I'm burping so you guys can't hear I'm silently burping um so I think that there's a good chance and I've always thought that grass hill would be a because a lot of you remember if you go back to my video two years ago when they were making the grass they actually put in a water main there yeah okay and and yeah I mean it's right next to all the paths there yeah I think it makes sense to do it and we know they want to expand splash works it doesn't have the capacity to handle the crowds yeah as it is so so you put a nice slide complex all in and around that red kind of like coming out area where that blue and then the path and all that is where you know next to the drop of mine buster it'd be a tower complex so I think two or three slides yeah um similar to the thumbnail here kind of like a pro slides um yeah like one tower and then you can choose what you're going on yeah that's so funny one of my sources is messaging me is that give me a second can you talk about your opinions okay um I mean I don't I don't go to splash works so I don't really I don't have like a negative or positive opinion on it except I mean I guess to say I hope that they do get something like this because when I see the lines from from behemoth in the summer they look pretty long so they definitely need to add something and that's a good place to do it where they hopefully wouldn't have to remove anything or encroach on anything else hold on one second I'm being told I'm wrong about the water slide hill oh okay I guess hey it's all speculation give me a second keep talking keep talking but everything I have to talk about is wrong now what oh I'm being told I'm being told to not talk about the water park hill right now okay let's talk about the air race and this isn't the top of that in the top of the screen maybe we'll get one of those flat rides I don't know I know that like you said Wonderland always wants to add flats and there's not too many left that we don't have some version of so the cliff jumping oh my goodness if I jump off that goddamn cliff in the water park y'all are a tsunami like literally I I will consider it no Craig had jumped in and he said his ball his tennis balls hurt for like a week I will prepare I will find a way to withstand everyone's eating at lazy bear it's like you know Wonderland's filming the commercial there's the family dressed perfectly even though that doesn't exist they're all eating I jump in and it's like a little restaurant and start shaking people are running at a splash like I I will I would consider doing a video for the cliff jumping if people want to see that I got in trouble for filming in splash works last year I heard that yeah yeah it makes sense though it does I mean people it could make people feel you know uncomfortable or why is he filming yeah water park like I get it I think that's one of the biggest eye-opening experiences as a youtuber is because in the moment I was like why can't I film right and then you think about it later and you're like if someone was pointing a camera at me and I was in my bathing suit I'd be like hold on there yeah yeah exactly that's why whenever I go into splash works like with my camera to take photos like because you can get up to behemoth at the fence there you can get some cool angles yeah I keep my lens pointed at the ground when I'm walking around yeah I get to where I'm going so just so that nobody thinks like what's he doing with his that huge lens so the rides I'll only point it at the rides I swear yeah I've heard I've heard I've heard yeah interesting stories about the cliff diving at wonderland yeah it's definitely something that I can see being potentially very painful yeah I would want to know that I can do and I'm a space kid I come across do I come across intelligent no I don't I think I come across intelligent sometimes but I'm absolutely not I'm a space kid at so I would jump and I would jump in the completely wrong way and then I would panic just go up to the top one right before you jump to freak them out yell cannibal those mushroom clouds those mushroom clouds when the terminator when the new goes off oh oh I look I look in I look under the influence of liquids but I am not today it's just just energy it's sun and energy drink it was so hot it was so hot we bailed in the middle of the day because it was too hot yeah we were gonna do white water and the line was like spilling way out and we just said no it's too much we're going home why did they choose to do it so interesting enough the person that told me all the rides coming for like four years explained why they bit it did it so they wanted something and it falls under what Grace was even talking about in the podcast they wanted something in splash works that was like oh that's cool right you can't do that unless you want to caught it through you go up north so that's what I was thinking yeah that's what Wonderland was aiming for with mountain big cliffs and to be honest it was an intelligent decision I mean again it fits the whole like unique one-of-a-kind or only-of-its-kind type experiences yeah oh the big topic are we on to the next one yeah oh I guess we left it a bit so like if they were to get a flat ride I think it we could be looking at an air race or a scream and swing or you know go go check out if you want to speculate for yourselves go look at Mondial's website Haas's website and look at look at maybe some models that they haven't built yet because apparently Wonderland likes to get those yeah they get another first-of-its-kind go on YouTube and search up 16 year olds design well that's where the Tundra design originally came from and Mondial saw it and said oh we'll take that so you never know all right this is the moment I hope we're all waiting for hope it happens soon rather than later okay so what do I know about 2025 so far that I can share what do we know we know that they're going to dig ground in December which means that you should see construction markings around August September right you thanks maybe September October yeah sir why are you drinking an ice cream at 10 p.m. okay full honesty like I think you saw I was crashing really hard the heat really did him in today it was so so hot and I got like two hours of sleep every day for the past like three four days yeah and no clouds today and like so and my I got concerned that you guys were going to be concerned about me when my mom was like you look exhausted yeah and I was like oh my god everyone's gonna panic and think I'm not well no no it's just you know just tiredness in the sun and yeah yeah a lot of people saying oh yeah it was hot it was brutal today I honestly the park started to clear out a little bit around like mid-afternoon and I can't help but think that probably that's because of the heat yeah please drink water too I've had lots of water I'll try to I think I have to I even bought water from underline and I have to drink it yes there's it's done no I did okay um and I was even encouraging the younglings to drink water today yeah they do too as well they're just drinking soda all day we'll see how many of them drop tonight no kidding in the group chat like about it yeah what is okay um wants to know what is your favorite ride my favorite ride oh my goodness it's probably Leviathan but it's very like Leviathan and Yukon for me are very things haven't changed they're very close like it's it's for me if I'm ranking them like it's it's because I have to to me I like I like to ride a lot of different things at the park I like that lot it's not my favorite but I ride it you know on purpose for fun not because other people make me like mind buster yeah but definitely probably Leviathan in terms of flat rides probably say shockwave yes you do like that I love shockwave I never say party okay good because party mode doesn't exist no party mode only the only the tree credit you gotta kick the tree if you're on the outside seat actually don't don't do that keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times um do not share that you know oh you don't get the Leviathan love I mean I don't know what to say if you don't if you don't get it maybe it's not for you everybody likes different rides you know we've got someone in our group who when he goes to the park without us he talks about he rides mind buster and wild beast all the time and I think he's crazy but he likes him give me a second I need to off camera for a second oh goodness oh my goodness no I Leviathan didn't didn't hurt me I don't want to get into this too much because I'm a bad example because of what I did but I did not sit with my shoulders back against the seat and hold on to the restraint for the duration of the ride and I then paid the price and I won't go into it any more than that oh my god I just I just read the text um I guess I can talk a little bit about what's on screen just briefly um that's sort of what you're looking at is like an outline of everywhere that we've seen where the survey markers are where we've seen them doing survey work um and it's sort of where we're assuming they plan to do a combination of demo and construction for whatever is coming so maybe the blue circle is not a what the blue circle is not a water slide um give me a second we don't know look we see a guy with a total station point it up in the air and we think well they're gonna build something there okay hold on like what we need to end the stream and start over I have new predictions I'm getting it's a roller I'm kidding um uh-huh I mean you can't say what what you think it might be other than water slides then we can just leave it where it is I mean maybe it's not water slides you know I don't know what else to say it it could be anything and anything includes nothing my guess is what you should always assume when we're making predictions like this at this stage because exactly it could be anything open to interpretation um yeah no it's I have to show you later um it's gonna be a new staff building or something it's just it's a break room that's all it is okay well I'll say our 2024 predictions are right oh my god uh when you receive information in the middle of a podcast and you're just like yeah about a different park yeah yeah yeah I need you to take over for a second yeah unrelated to wonderland well I mean I feel like we've kind of talked about some of this because we touched on the probability of time warp being removed and flight deck we talked about how we were pretty confident Kingswood is gonna go whether that's very soon or not I don't know but I don't see them putting concerts on there I don't know who they're gonna book no Kingswood's coming down yeah yeah um but as for what they could put there when I look at the area to me it looks big enough that it wouldn't just be one thing and whether that means it would be a ride and a ride or a ride and like a themed set of buildings whether that would be merch or food or games some combination of that yeah sorry can you Tom try not to look at the camera you know I'm trying to I'm trying to gauge if what I'm saying is right I'm looking over at Brendon how is this am I getting it right or not oh my goodness oh my goodness oh my god um Kingswood's coming down yeah um I have to keep looking at my phone to make sure I'm not saying anything right I guess then the question is the other the other speculation for this area is the potential for another entrance right and I've always I've always been of the opinion that I don't see it at least that if they're gonna have one they're definitely gonna treat it as the backup entrance because that view when you walk into the park and you see the mountain and the fountain and the flowers all done in front they want to keep that as your first view when you come into the park especially for guests who are coming for their first time so I that's why I don't see that because what you know they're never gonna have something as good for an entrance there than what they have in terms of like once you get in but yeah oh my god I feel okay I have to end the podcast just to go it's just because you just to go digest what I just saw oh my god oh my goodness oh gosh okay um no we're not gonna end it um we have to talk about what I drew here so my original prediction was the water slide is gonna go in that blue circle it's not going in that blue circle um the red area is everywhere that surveying has taken place it's a very large plot of land very very large uh the yellow plot of land is where I ideally think our next coaster is gonna go whether that be 2025 or 2027 um the green I wanted to emphasize the green because at the end of the I wish this app could show my cursor that's what bothers me it probably can I just don't know how to do it oh it can can you can you turn that on quickly how long is it gonna take somebody start a timer let's put the pressure on I thought I had it hold on one second let me just double check let's play the jeopardy music that's not the jeopardy me I'm so I'm so excited right now I'm so excited right now um okay so the green picture you see the green circle that's circled now go to the end of the line where there's nothing in the blue circle that's where the guy stands and he was surveying towards and up towards and up over kingswood okay so that's telling the same thing applies to time warp surveying up and above time warp so again when they're surveying think 3d world yeah they're trying to build a map of the world that they can then take into a computer and virtually do the construction whether that's a ride or building or demolition or changing the the lay of the land and then they can make sure that everything is going to fit and go where it needs to go and not contact or collide with anything in terms of spacing like the whole time they're building tundra twister and people are speculating is it gonna is it gonna hit you come yeah gonna hit the buildings that's why they do the surveying because they knew for sure exactly how much space they're gonna have and they knew it was not going to come anywhere near hitting anything yeah get home and take a lot of these markers you can see on the red they do come all the way over through the path like that yes a lot of those those planters the concrete planters and stuff that are kind of near carousel and whatnot there are survey markers and survey pins in the ground as well yeah so there's definitely going to be something going on there but as to what exactly that might be it's hard to say but it it covers a very large area because they're even going to be reworking the paths to some degree yeah it's definitely a massive world expert and they go I didn't even they technically go up to win seeker and Yukon's tunnel now oh do they yeah wow okay yeah so that's a that's they're a racing action zone they're like ew f paramount I mean action zone doesn't have its own identity for the most part like like I was saying today at the park you know you stand with flight deck on your left which is action zone but then you've got swings of the century and the arcade building which are very much world expo kind of like right there and it's like so are they like where's action zone and where's world expo like mm-hmm so I think getting rid of action zone would be a good idea yeah I just I can't get over opening my phone and just seeing like right well like when you see it you're gonna be like just when you when I show you just remember how like trying to do a podcast after seeing that image um survey marker season is always my favorite exactly the speculation because it could be anything they could be building the biggest thing we've ever seen or they could build nothing at all they could I think with this many markers though like this is too much work to do to not be doing something major but it's it's so up in the air in terms of what it could be because of all the potential options and I don't work in that industry I don't work in the construction industry or with surveying or anything like that so everything I know is either things that I've learned from just observing or I can use Google like anybody else and how does it work what does the surveyor do and so that's where I learned about what the targets are for and this the stations they use those they're called total stations to measure distances and angles and to build those points and be able to put it into the CAD software in the end but you know again it's all speculation and it's all just what I can gather from paying attention as best I can but he's he's the one who's always finding all the markers um hold man I don't know how to come back gotta put your phone in do not disturb that's mines over there mine's important though I'm blushing so hard wait wait wait wait wait wait Danielle's gonna Danielle's gonna help you Mrs. Sandwich is gonna you're important too Mrs. Sandwich oh um oh my goodness okay so what do you what do you think our next coast is going to be because our group is split on this I don't know I think it could go either way I think it's going to be one of either Wayne Coase or a launch um people speculate a lot of things and I remember on one of the podcasts a while ago I was on Team Flying Coaster in terms of what we want yeah but I think flying coasters just have too many moving parts the seats the seats going up and down like this that's just another thing that can fault like Yukon's floor you know you mean it and I feel like if you look at what parks build like they don't get built that much I think that's probably why no they almost seem like they've died off that's what I mean yeah I think there's and that's gotta be for a reason either that they cost too much or they take too long to load or they fault too much or some combination yeah I can't stop laughing like he had this map right now um wow all I'm gonna say right now is you can never tell where Wonderland's gonna build something like people will say Wonderland's out of space oh yeah but I they can build wherever especially with a big steel coaster like you can run that wherever you want yes I mean look at where Skyrider was people would have said and and if you showed them the plants like a tiny little coaster yeah right you're like well what could they put there and they'd be thinking of small things they wouldn't be thinking of something the size of Yukon Striker yeah that's such a good example actually right because it Yukon Striker crosses out over and goes under the water and like up the hill and then it comes back and goes all the way down that back path so there's all kinds of things they can do that if you think outside the box like where they can put things they've they've got a good amount of room left for at least two or three more big coasters I think I'm just trying to read some comments here to see if there's anything someone in the in the discord chat asking um does does Grace Peacock know what's actually happening only only Grace Peacock knows what Grace Peacock actually knows um I can only guess as to when she gets information but we only know when she reveals it to us it's funny though because she says sometimes she learns things from this channel yeah so that's the thing is I I I mean I just have to assume just because it's not her area that she probably doesn't find out as soon as some other people do but no but like I said she only she knows yeah she knows and and we find out when she tells us I'll say something though and I mean this in cheek and fun and I mean this is a compliment to Wonderland I'm not insulting them um because I don't get my information from Wonderland workers I can I can promise that they've asked they're concerned I don't get it from Wonderland workers um because Wonderland is actually really good at covering up information especially now keeping it quiet I think that like they get and they have every right to and like as a business they want to keep their surprises a surprise until they're ready to reveal it and I understand yeah like even the Tundra twister ride event yesterday for the employees that they were all strictly told no phones no cameras no nothing um and then even if you ask any employee like even supervision on a specific team for Tundra twister they don't know anything yeah and like they literally don't know anything so Wonderland's gotten really good at being hush hush so that like that's a compliment yeah like so it's good for them to do it that way because you know as much as we would love to find out right away as soon as what the plans are all the way into the future it's better for them to be able to announce it's like as a big surprise yeah I mean do you remember when they announced Tundra twister we crashed Mondial's website that we literally because when we found out I'm on my phone trying to go to Mondial's website and I'm like it's not coming up so I called someone who was like at home because I was like maybe at the park no their website was like almost completely dead like nobody could get on so people are very interested in this stuff oh yeah yeah I can't wait 20 20 there was there was another comment about the surf coaster there any word on it other parks are liking the positive response mods mods can we ban that person please can we ban that surf coaster comment they're not allowed commenting in the screen for the rest of the day no I'm kidding please don't um I mean I I haven't I haven't heard anything but it's not I don't think that's something that other parks would be publicly talking about right like I don't know how we would necessarily hear like what you know what is what are the king's islands execs think of the surf coaster like you know unfortunately I don't know I'm still down on it because I don't want to ride a coaster on a bike seat and that's kind of my yes I think because we've experienced we've experienced it I know it's not going to be the same as Skyrider but I just feel like we've we've been down this road before and we know where it goes I made a joke when I first saw it I was like so how long do you think it'll be before they just put sit down trains on it or floorless trains or something like you know what I mean because we've seen I know it's a new design and you know and I'm not saying it nobody would like it maybe it'll be a good coaster but I'm still very on the negative side personally but I will always give it a shot no matter what it is if it if it does come to the park and I would reserve judgment until I actually go on it but from this from far away from looking at it and knowing what it is I'm like yeah I would prefer something else yeah um the opinions I'm about to express are false and will never actually happen but if one of them builds a bnm I'm getting my goddamn license to drive a bulldozer and crashing into it I will personally drag the the shipment a first track shipment of the bnm track will show up and I'll literally attach my little car to the trailer and drive it back across the border just civic can tow anywhere near enough it it's like you know it's it's it's well taken care of oh man I don't want another bnm I honestly I wouldn't be unhappy with a wing but I can understand why people don't want one just also because there are a lot of other possibilities right so you know yeah it's it's less about it being the the bnm and more about like if it's a bnm then it's not an intimate or it's not a mock right and we could get those and those would be a a unique addition to our coastline yeah and I mean speaking of bnms I believe there's a commenter commenting right now that owes someone a ride on Leviathan is there who who am I looking for oh yeah yeah yeah there is there is uh she has said that she will say things that she may have to apologize for but she said she'll go on it don't we all so I wish you could film on rides just to watch that I think that would be amazing the pov that would be fun um 2023 remove mine buster yes please but I don't think they're going to as soon as I saw them surveying mine buster I did I was I was like yes but it's not enough well now I know now I know why they were surveying mine buster I'm kind of shaking all I'm gonna say is mine buster is just she's getting overcrowded yeah she's getting overcrowded she needs she needs some space yeah okay um mine buster is fun in a middle seat I mean like I said everybody likes their own thing I'll just agree to disagree okay I I like mine buster over wild beast I know you and Danielle or Mrs. Sandwich sorry and some other people in our group they like wild beast oh oh Matt the other Matt okay yes he said he likes wild beast but it must be a mat thing maybe that's what it is and then the sandwich is just attached to you well she's dragged along you're like conjoined twins oh a wild beast over mine buster no we're gonna have a debate next time okay but here's the thing this is more like if someone was like you want me to kick you in the knee or the shin and I'm like let's go with the shin because I'll still be able to walk you might mess my knee up it's not like I enjoy being kicked in the knee but if I had to choose I would you know what I mean it's like it's so it's like if I have to choose between one of the two of them I will choose wild beast but if I get to choose neither one I will choose neither one I don't mean I often do I don't mean this is an insult maybe it's a height thing because I feel the opposite when I ride wild beast my back is like oh on that one it could be though because I know height is part of what will affect how much you enjoy uh flight deck it depends on on where exactly do the cheese graders on those restraints sit if they're great in your ears off you know it's not as fun of a ride but if you're too short or if you're too tall it's a little easier uh man I mean I guess um I said I was gonna talk about the future of the channel and right oh how I'm in myself sick yes okay so one of my biggest flaws because I think of my past and talking and stuff like that just learning stuff about my trauma is because I was so unpopular and weird and unlike when I got amusement insiders it felt for once especially with Yukon striker and then moving on from there and the growth of the channel that I finally felt important loved and like respected for like the first time in a while which was then like a drug yes like a serious drug because then I became addicted to that feeling so then I got addicted to being first I had to be first to catch the the snoopy's racing railway train I had to be first to catch the very first tester on a plunger twister and I learned this year that that like that exhausted me so much like so much um that I was trying so hard and I remember my friends were like you can just get it like you know you don't have to be first and I'm like I have to be first right I was like and I'm like I sat at lazy bear all day every day and the heat rain cold I was shivering going home sick um everything and then you know my I remember my friends were like I think you know they were I I clued in that they were messaging each other and like texting and they were like someone needs to let go yeah and then it hit me you all saw it you saw I know a lot of you reached out to me with concerns um so I'm working on that part of I guess this is where I say that I need to open up my channel to the community um I guess like a really and this is I wasn't planning this but there's a story about amusement insiders um and a channel that used to exist before me and this channel that used to exist before me it's almost like David and Goliath and I feel like I became Goliath in this story now and I want to become David again but there were two channels we were both covering Leviathan and then Yukon Stryker and they weren't the most welcoming when I started my channel and it became almost like uh and these were some of the exact words you'll never succeed after Yukon Stryker's done right because you know I had my drone so obviously people watched me more but they were more professional like I'll give them that they were two adults and they were more professional and came across better um and had a better relationship with the park and then there's just me with the drone kind of you know getting blueprints and all that so the viewers liked me but the park didn't at that time right I then overtook them and followers when I got the track and all that and then their channel died off and you know they said oh you this won't continue once Yukon Stryker's done well it did and that's a success story but then this is where you know that toxicness and that um competitiveness and that addiction to being like popular and being first at everything came into like a drug addiction I got jealous over anyone covering anything on Canada's Wonderland and not in a toxic way but I would watch like everyone's content and I would not sleep at certain nights if someone got something before me because I felt like I failed my viewers I feel like I failed myself and I'd be like but I have all this information how did I not do this and it was it was so weird like the thoughts that were going through my head and I know where that stems from now um and then I realized that you know I have this amazing channel and I have these viewers that trust me for information that want to come to amusement insiders regardless of who covers what first so I need to calm the aft down yeah exactly and I need to be a beacon in the community I cannot be what that channel did to me exactly yeah I want to be different I want to be like hey you're just starting out like you know there's a channel um Adventures with Parker he does amazing coverage of like the entertainment all this there's Wonderland Weekly who covers like all the things that I don't cover there's um Tyler Kochi who does the best vlogs in the industry and none of that changes any views but the old me started to like real like I the new me is realizing how like defensive I was over those channels I was like oh they're doing so good this is going to harm me this like you know in three years people are going to choose to watch their construction updates over mine I have to get and it was like a scene out of a movie yeah like it was literally like if you could watch my thoughts at night I would literally sit there and be like I love their content but oh my god they could do better than me in two to three years I I can't ever mention them on my story I can't ever like you know what I mean which is so yeah like it's like you know and I get where that comes from and I talked to Brendon a little bit before this you know I mentioned I'm a photographer um and I have some of that too you know it's something that I think everybody every creative person goes through at least to some degree where you know if I see another photographer at an event and I find out who they are I'll look at their Instagram and look through their photos like oh that's really good is he better than me um but I realized you know it's I if I can tell myself like it doesn't matter what photos that other photographer is taking that's not going to change the photos that I can take right yeah so it doesn't matter if somebody else puts out a great video that's not going to make your videos worse yeah you can still put out a great video too and um like some of the comments are saying people people don't just watch one youtuber they will watch it all you know there's how many people making updates about the same stuff going on dragster and and they all get views right they all get get some views some of them get more than others but there's enough room for everyone to do their own thing and and like people are saying you know they're here to see you mostly but also for the information so it's like they could watch two different people present the same information but it's a different personality they're going to have a different take on it a different way of presenting it yeah and it's just like I'm glad that I have that like social okay so like social anxiety to me is always a blessing I don't know what it is but um I can always check myself when I start to get like in certain situations because then I start for some reason my social anxiety always puts me into like an outsider perspective yeah especially when I get under the influence of a liquid right yeah the social anxiety is a lifesaver but I just started thinking a lot recently how I was because of you know the youtube growth becoming my very own enemy that was toxic to me during my startup phase exactly and I was like it's so gross um not using the platform um to be more inclusive so I had a meeting with my discord team about like five days ago six days ago something like that I don't know if you were awake it was late at night I probably wasn't yeah but we had a meeting and we're working on like um some huge expansion ideas for the channel and opening the podcast and everything about the channel to like the whole community right I want to bring on different channels different you know perspectives of wonderland because my perspective is all about theme park right like I want theme theme theme and you know the previous person was coaster coaster coaster and then you know I just want diversity right because hearing the same person being like I know a lot of you the the viewers like they're like some of you want theme parks some of you want roller coaster some of you want intimants bnms and all that there there's people in the comments talking about how much they like mine buster or dragon fire and you know so the people like all kinds of different rides and we need to have all the different views yeah please film haunt this year yes yes haunt haunt is my favorite uh last year was so hard on me that was why I think I read I spoke to a couple hawn actors why I wasn't filming I was going through a lot that year but I'm so I'm even with what's going on now I'm definitely better than I was last year last year was yeah and you can we're going to keep up this energy and keep keep the content coming and lots of new ideas for things to see we actually got some good suggestions on games that we can do on the podcast so we have some prep work to do maybe over the next couple of weeks but yeah that could be fun so yeah there's definitely going to be some changes and um you know we I already have some people I'm in talks within the wonderland community to have on the podcast and if you're watching some of you are watching right now don't be afraid to reach out because my first step in owning up to my you know own insecurities and I guess you could say toxicity it wasn't intentional toxicity I think I think some people viewed it as intentional but literally like YouTube and TikTok and all that really is like a drug it's weird like and you kind of know in the back of your head it's happening but you become so addicted to something you kind of turn off that yeah like oh but my viewers care more so I have to care about my viewers that's all that matters is my viewers and then you lose that perspective yeah you gotta always remember to like you said to check yourself to remember to think about okay well why do I think that is that really true yeah because it might not be probably isn't so someone asked randomly you put out the the video backup I will not um my message got to the person um and that's all I'm gonna say on that and that's the only message I wanted out there is just everyone to get help everyone who needs that who needs it to get help and that you know I hope I hope it came across that I cared yeah what how long have we been on for can I see that somewhere an hour and 20 minutes we usually do about an hour and a half so I guess question period yeah yeah let's we've answered some questions but if anybody wants to you know chime in with questions about what we've talked about or what we what we didn't talk about that you wish we did talk about um I know there's gonna be conversations between you and I once this ends yeah um how many countries would come to world expo I wish I knew but that I mean that's another one of those things that's like so up in the air yeah I don't even know for sure for sure what they're doing but I think thinking cedar fair so cedar fair's motto and now is to play into what surrounds the park yeah I could see at least three yeah um their clientele exactly I would love to see I'm gonna I hope I don't offend anyone with this I probably don't know the right words maybe you can correct me if I say wrong but like a middle eastern like cultural section yeah um I know that's a blanket statement I I think that I don't know if it's too large of an air because this is the thing is we may have a perception of yes something from a certain region is but it's actually bigger than that and more diverse so we're not trying to to to to you know group things into too small of a basket but I guess because I don't know like an Asian theme obviously to play into its past and the culture that surrounds wonderland I and I would love that and a Middle Eastern theme and then and then also thinking about even just in terms of like not only that the people who who visit the park and people who live in the area but if you think about um food opportunities so I think about well if they're gonna do world expo and have countries represented they're gonna want to represent cuisine from different places so I would think probably East Indian yes I think that that's what I was trying to get at it's a it's a really diverse culture there's a lot of different things you can do visually with it and and there's a lot of different food items you can do with it too so yeah um Friday might be the new podcast date I can't know things at work are changing right now that's a part of the reason why I'm exhausted too and getting help from various people running this channel now um again I guess I didn't touch on that part amusement insiders is going to become more of like a like a team thing there's certain people that I'm bringing on to help make videos too because it's a lot especially yeah you've been doing um you know except for the past few days or whatever you've been doing a lot of updates a lot of videos and it's a lot of work it's too much to all do at once by yourself yeah and I want it to stay daily videos that's the thing right so I obviously need other people like other presence so I guess my ask of you guys is when you do see other people um coming on to the channel and making content support them as well absolutely like don't just click my construction updates or if I'm in a video click me I appreciate that but the people that I'm choosing to bring on to the team and all that there's a reason like that they have my full like I'm like they're great they're amazing I want that on my team right um so if I if you see them on the channel that means I'm like they're amazing and I'm trusting them with because amusement insiders now like not to toot my own horn we have like a network of information that is pretty impenetrable at this point so if I'm bringing someone on to the team that says a lot that I'm trusting them with certain information and all that so if I trust them with that I want you guys to trust them as much as I do so are you gonna do the winter fest vlog this year I mean that's a ways away and I don't want to promise anything that that might not happen but I you know I don't see why not I think would they ask just are we gonna do the winter fest vlog this year I'm assuming they're talking about you know the antics with the oh the gingerbread people and yeah that kind of stuff and I mean I guess I shouldn't call him Craig anymore Christian is gonna be on the channel too here and there um so who knows yeah yeah I get I he was a big part of harassing the cookie people so yes he was come back for sure um and another one that I saw that I wanted to get to was um so are we just throwing frontier candidate coaster out now absolutely not it's just that we wanted to talk about new information and at this point I don't think we know anything new about what's going on back there we're just not sure so we're focusing on what the new the new information and what we know and speculating that they may have decided to do this now and something else later but for all we know that's still gonna happen on the same schedule it always was yeah we just don't have anything new to okay in December I'll know more and that's that's good like it's not that far away yeah to know 2025 stuff in December is gonna be good so just just wait I'll have 2024 information for you guys in the week probably this week so stay tuned yeah let me look at my phone I'm kidding um but yeah do you think wonder jam will ever return no I don't even know what wonder jam is it's a it was a christian music festival um that they held in Kingswood Kingswood Kingswood's coming down guys Kingswood is yeah okay well you know the model in December oh we might I mean depending on how much construction takes place and what type of work gets done maybe we can put things together a little bit from that yeah so Jacob I just I'm gonna delete this and again um I wish him all the best like I really do but could we not bring up Syria on our platforms anymore that's all I ask and I mean that with out of respect for him and myself yeah it's not it's not fair to talk about him here with all these people and answer questions about him especially when if he's not here to comment yeah um what else do we have Canadian sections no Canadian section yeah I yeah the park is Canadian right so they can have Canadian friends okay go to Frontier Canada yeah hello Ryan will you be riding Tundra day when it's open if I'm there yes absolutely I hope that I'm there the day it opens but I know it's gonna happen it's gonna open on Monday and I'm no it's gonna open tomorrow okay so I'm gonna be at the park from 10 to 1 wonder what if you're in here leave quickly it's gonna open in the afternoon you have to go to work I wonder if you're in here leave okay now that they're gone um I work from 2 p.m to 10 p.m tomorrow but I'm gonna be at the park from 10 a.m to 1 p.m this is what happened with stoopies racing railway it was the same experience okay I worked at 6 p.m that night so I had to leave the park at 4 30 they open stoopies racing railway yeah um it might happen I mean the thing is like we said we don't know of any reason at this point that would prevent it from opening but we don't we don't know all the details of of you know exactly what they might have to do but I if I'm there I will be riding it if it's open for sure I can't wait I'm gonna like helicopter I'm gonna like what do you call it fortnight jump out of an airplane oh man can you go over the colored sections of the lines okay I'll do it as quickly as possible not to repeat myself red is the surveying area it's technically a little larger than this but there's only like to be honest there's only like three survey markings up by win seeker and skyhawk and stuff so it's not nothing to jump even be for a separate thing even like if they're far enough away um I also want to go check out one area tomorrow we're gonna have to go check out a certain area tomorrow you'll see why in a second um and then um they can't see where I'm circling so I'm gonna circle for you yeah the blue area was where we were speculating maybe a water slide complex could go based on some surveying that was going on we thought well if they're gonna build something there maybe this could be what it is yeah and I think the yellow is just encompassing where we think maybe uh a coaster or something could go if they're taking the kingswood and time warp and green is kind of elevation uh surveying that we got to see so again there could be much more elevation surveying that we did places where we saw them serving and then the line kind of shows where they were looking at yeah with the equipment any other important questions obviously we have to wrap this up soon because some of us would like to get some sleep this night do you do you have any new updates on marine land I don't do you I know that hershin did make a bid I can confirm now back not a bid they showed interest a couple years ago so you remember when I originally predicted hershin was seeking to buy marine land I can confirm that there was at some point an interest from hershin and then they backed out well yeah that's unfortunate because that could have been good but right yeah wonderland would be quaking I think it would be good for wonderland though because well good for the people who go to wonderland at least maybe wonderland knows that's why all this is going on maybe they're like oh my god we gotta hurry up and now we're hearing disney oh my god um it's it's no time before theme park does show interest in the toronto market though yeah like it's crazy to me that someone hasn't looked at wonderland's numbers and been like uh we want a piece of that cake right exactly I think it's I mean I think you're right it's gonna happen eventually because wonderland is is I mean again you know we talked about the financial statement and wonderland has a very disproportionate number of season passes compared to the total yeah they've sold so someone someone just asked what's the five-year plan for the channel involving the community so amusement insiders used to cover theme parks around the world I remember there was and I did so well during that era and then I got so exhausted from all the hate I was getting from other American creators which is funny because I guess I felt like I was back in the days where that one channel was beating me out for Yukon coverage so then I gave up I backed out of the American content and just focused on what I was good at so now I want to get back into it but I don't want to get back into it I want people to get back into it for themselves again I would take so my plan just to be as transparent as possible if someone's making a video for my channel I want them to have a hundred percent ad revenue for whatever video they're filming for the channel that's my plan that is what I discussed with people who are going to make content even some shorts some I wanted to hire a shorts creator I would take zero ad revenue from anyone making a video for the channel that's my plan that's not even my plan that's what I'm going to commit to so my plan is to have American creators other Wonderland creators I guess people that are better at filming vlogs because I'm going to be transparent I don't know how comfortable I'm going to feel vlogging without the other person that I used to vlog with like I've been thinking about that a lot today I don't know if you see I've been spacing out a lot I I just don't know I felt like I like I like I liked that whole duo a lot when it came to vlogging and I guess maybe right now I'm just too hurt so for right now I feel too dirty if I were to pull out a camera and vlog like personally so I don't see myself vlogging anytime soon um yeah so yeah so vlogs might not come back anytime soon um I'll probably start with ride punishment channel uh challenges to get back into vlogging and then um I watched a really good we watched a good knots very farm vlogger today yeah she was amazing covering the food yeah and I think that's kind of the avenue I want to go down if I were to start vlogging I want to go more professional yeah because right now I think I'm stuck um with construction updates and I want to like channel out of that a little bit yeah the food festivals might be a good chance to try to do some content more like that because it's something unique and interesting that comes to the park and it you know lots of things to film and yeah okay well it's been just over an hour and a half I think we've answered most of the uh questions that people had as best we can anyway yeah all right um are we are we good to wrap it up do you think or is there something else that you want saw that you wanted to no I think I'm excited to talk about um the future okay well we have we have the future to this yeah yeah I feel like we gotta end this stream and talk about something um yeah thanks so much thanks for tuning in bye


welcome back to exotic wine travel. I am your host Matthew Horky. We're hearing Zagreb Croatia were kind of locked down during everything that's going on in the world today but that doesn't just because we're down doesn't mean that we're out. We're in the apartment tasting through tons of samples that we're getting and I wanted to share a grape that I think I think is a real interest to you especially if you make it to Croatia on holiday when everything around the world starts to clear up. You know one thing that I really like about Croatia and also Italy and to some a lesser extent Hungary is the just massive amount of indigenous grape varieties and in Croatia the main white grapes that you're gonna see that they kind of claim to be theirs is Malvasia Estarsko from Istria, Grasovina from Slovenia and then Poship from Dalmatia but there's also some lesser known white grapes and that includes debit we have from North Dalmatia have a couple of producers here now debit is it's cool because number one you can pronounce it it's easy to pronounce in English and several languages it's also in a nice easy drink and it shows where it's from it shows the Mediterranean weather and lately and lately there's some producers they're trying to make more ambitious examples now the grape was kind of made more famous by Bibic who exports a lot of his wine to the U.S. and Vino Plaud but these are two fairly new producers I think that are worth checking out first we have Ante Sladic this is his debit Oya Noya 2017 this is an orange wine he also makes a very fresh fruity easygoing debit watch I highly recommend this is an orange wine that's macerated for seven days he tries to make it in the style his grandfather used to make more of a yellow wine very very nice flavors apricot you get a little bit nutty nutty notes it's not too crazy the tannins aren't too hard really enjoyable there's other orange wines made out of debit like bibbitches boss the boss be yellow boss the boss white and then you have some serious examples made kind of more in the classical style this is a brand new per producer called Baraka this is his debit Reserva 2017 you know what's cool is this wine is a this wine is actually aged in both concrete tank concrete egg and used oak when you get debit in this style you're gonna get more kind of green fruits for me so I'm thinking more green pear green guava maybe a little bit on ripe white peach in a charming way Baraka's wines in general are very salty incredibly salty slady flinty salty so it's almost like mixing like the warmth of a Mediterranean grape with kind of the flintiness you get in an imozo wine sladishes are soddish's basic debit is more easy drinking more fruity as his bibbitches really cool and I like what the guys are doing with these kind of grapes since it's the Mediterranean heat they want to retain acidity they usually do several pickings they pick earlier to retain acidity and then they pick a little bit later to retain the fruit so wines that I think are unique they have character and they're definitely worth seeking out if you're in Croatia sometimes some of these wines some of these debits are exported worldwide I know that we have a link to wine and more we have a discount coach they'll ship over the EU bibbitch goes to America Baraka is more of a regional regional producer so you have to come to Croatia to get this so check it out Mediterranean unique white grapes go great with shell fish Dalmatian fish and olive oil so do you have a favorite indigenous unique white grape I'd love to hear in the comments section below so guys if you like this video please subscribe to our YouTube channel exotic wine travel click the bell so you get alerts when we get new videos and I will see you at the next episode


So the Nipro company destroyed 5 tanks, brake and 12 BMPs, brake 3 wounded, brake 2 lightly wounded, one is in bad condition. I destroyed 5 tanks, brake and 12 BMPs. I am in the game with the general. I am in the game with the general. I have a battalion, I am in the game with my friend, he was up to the end. We were in the game with the general, 5 years ago, of the national division.


It is rainy season here in the Rohingya refugee camp in Cox's Bazaar, Bangladesh. The rain is pouring and people seek cover inside their shelters. It is a matter of great concern for everyone here to keep and maintain their shelters despite the the monsoon and camp conditions. Close to one million people live in this camp since the influx of refugees in 2017 and much needs to be done to improve the harsh conditions here. Traditionally, both locals in Cox's Bazaar and the Rohingya people have used bamboo for building and maintaining their shelters. Building on these techniques, the International Organization for Migration developed an initiative to provide better quality and more durable bamboo to the Rohingya refugee and local communities. Completed in 2019, the Bamboo Treatment Facility, BTF, is the largest initiative that focuses on bamboo processing effort in the humanitarian sector. And it is an essential part of IOM's operations in this southern region of eastern Bangladesh. The facility has created safer processing standards, ecologically friendly treatment and more durable bamboo products, while promoting community involvement of both the Rohingya and local populations. Momtaz Begum explains the impact of BTF on her life. Before working here, I had many worries in my life and struggled with money and feeding my family. Now, everything has changed. At the facility, we employ a local workforce made up of both men and women from the host community. Abdul Salam, a worker from Teknaf, explains. Here, we can work male and female together in an equal state. It touches me the most, and we work supportively. At the facility, instead of drilling across the poles as everyone else did, the bamboo poles are drilled horizontally to open the length of the bamboo. This innovative method of drilling increases the efficiency of the treatment process. This approach required us to create our very own drills for this purpose, as no such thing existed yet. The horizontal hole allows us to connect across nodes of the bamboo and facilitate better and uniform soaking in pools and later in drying, improving the entire efficiency of treatment and production time. After drilling and washing, the bamboo is ready for the next critical step, the soaking into a solution that has been created, tested and pioneered by IOM at the bamboo treatment facility. That solution is actually a mixture of water and borate, a natural additive that helps to preserve the bamboo, since it is absorbed by the fibres and no longer digestible by pests. Thanks to this, the bamboo lifespan has extended from about one and a half years up to five years. Consequently, less resources are consumed. At the facility, everything is oriented toward the goal of sustainability. Firstly, all natural waste collected along the soaking process is recycled to cast solid bricks. Once dried out, they will serve as biofuel. Moreover, the solid bamboo parts, cut or discarded in the cleaning process, are reused to produce bamboo charcoal, which will be placed in the large filters used to recycle the treatment solution so it can be reused with minimal losses. Bamboo is widely used for IOM shelter project or for slope stabilization work. And this is much needed in a rainy season when the shelters tend to be severely damaged because they are made up of only plastic and bamboo. Even with treatment, bamboo will eventually rot or break. Repairs are then needed and the distribution network expects several thousand bamboos every week to match the critical needs of the refugees. To address those needs, IOM trains dozens of carpenters, both men and women, enabling them to skillfully handle the urgent repair and help their community. Laila Begum, an IOM trained refugee carpenter, explains. Previously, I did not know the shelter building or repairing work. After getting training in carpentry from IOM, I can repair my shelter myself as well as support my community and that makes me happy. With this initiative, IOM seeks to improve and innovate in order to match the needs of the host community and refugees, as with the Rohingya Cultural Memory Centre. Third production output of the bamboo treatment facility contributes to building a thriving and resilient community, where everyone plays a key role in responding to the risks and impacts of disasters, environmental degradation and climate change. One bamboo at a time.
