on shows maybe or maybe a place to eat this looks pretty cool looks like some put on some some night shows maybe during the uh summer maybe hard a choke dip it's a it's already CH dip fried what the heck oh man the smell of popcorn you can smell that all right yeah I'm going go around garlic twirl the bananas it's like teacups but you're covered they should have strings of garlic just hanging from the top here going across instead of the uh what is it the uh lights the lanterns from uh Disneyland wow they're spinning pretty quick that is jamming yeah I guess I should have got a map so I

I'm walking around this place is huge so I just came up here from the Apple thing and I noticed these cars going by and this is something that Great America has also if you guys don't remember Santa Cruz used to have this as well way back in the day but yeah there old school classic cars that go around on this Trail oh here comes one now it looks exactly like the ones from Great America that's cool little gas station oh there another car what they have different cars I thought they were all the same that is cool all right I definitely got to take a day I I only got to like maybe an hour in here because I had some stuff going on with some friends hanging out with before I came here so uh I definitely going to come up here and take a whole day up here tonight they close at 6:00 I thought they close at 5: which is nice cuz I got an extra hour in here so but uh yeah I'm going to cover what I can and then uh we got we got to get out of here but uh yeah let's continue exploring what is this what you get on a little raft that is probably very calming and relaxing that goes around this little stream here yeah I would like to do I would like to do that not today but definitely definitely in the future oh it's called back Road's Garden okay you know what they need guys they need water guns right here so they go bye they're getting squirt no oh man I'm just love those water

have a Montreal that's so dope dude yes we definitely have to ride this that is cool [Music] bye dude this place is really surprising me like for real I was not expecting this I was expecting like a little place I didn't really want to do too much research on it cuz I want to be kind of stunned I guess on or not stunned but like just want to explore it myself but it is pretty cool okay they even have like a roller coaster back here what oh my gosh yes we're going on a roller Co I don't know if we have time today guys but we are coming back and riding this oh my gosh heck yeah dude I am

cool man look at look how heck a far back what thank you for your service thank you for your service Toy Soldiers okay so this is where the train station's at kind of interesting to see if it has like multiple train stations or if it's just one huh all right so this is the new attraction they just I just uh saw from their Instagram that's the only way I know this uh Lakeside Splash it's like a huge water park back here oh they got food back here I might have to go get some food but it's pretty cool I'm not going to record too much so it's pretty cool we got showers little Cabana Cabanas Cabanas

moly guys this is the loaded fries this is way better than I had even at Six Flags sorry and and whour cream nacho cheese pulled pork for $14 and a side of beans usually comes with cornbread as well but uh they're add of cornbread so they hooked me up with some curly fries in here as well so oh my God look at that that's huge all right well I was looking for a place to eat and I couldn't help but

all really really cool oh my gosh dude there's just so much to see I didn't realize how big this park is it's crazy all right so we got about five minutes till the park closes cheers guys all right so it looks like they have a like a whole other water park back here wow this is pretty cool man pretty cool okay looks like they have another roller coaster back here twister Timber twister somewhere in the distance dang we all have to come back jump on that feel like every theme park has to have a uh Carousel I noticed our fast lane is the same sign as great americaas so this is ran by Cedar if you guys did not know to putting out there it just dawned to me I thought of that okay so there is multiple train stations around the park this is so cool dude jump on a train and land into another part of the park that is cool okay not only do they have a strawberry ride it's called a strawberry split no strawberry sundae but they have a giant banana it's a banana boat that is awesome it's a swinging banana that's cool [Applause] man okay so that's where the Banana Split is at in the strawberry Sunday and I took off this way to went around so that's pretty much the whole park it's not not bad it's not bad definitely want to come back and explore some of the rides but looks like yeah they got a decent Siz water park in the back of the theme park and then uh some fun other roller coasters and whatnot so definitely got to come back check it out and try some other Foods other than the the pole pork fries by the way we pretty good we're pretty good i' definitely get them again but uh it was a lot it was a lot to to eat all right I'm kind of curious what they have in their gift shop let's go uh check it out they really love advertising garlic because Gilroy you guys don't know was known for their Garlic Festival and they're really known for the garlic really period but the family that owns giloy Gardens sold it last year and now it is no longer in Gilroy unfortunately so last year I went and checked it out the new giloy or the new Garlic Festival location and uh it was okay kind of small could be a lot better but the first year not bad oh they have uh Minecraft stuff here oh that's like Styrofoam man that's not soft at all that's soft what's up buddy what's up man how's it going high five yeah avocado avocado no that's like baby bird got to be avocado oh it's an egg yolk inside of an avocado oh that's that sounds good right now I started laugh when I saw this meow Mei me me Mei kitty kitty kitty kitty oh we all know puppuccinos this is pretty cool a little fishing uh uh vest only have pink ones too that is cool dude I was just thinking of Adam a woo moment and then I seen Adam's trucking company uh but one name you'll not see on here ever is my

wow and remember you guys get a discount with your season P here as well they have a lot of Hello Kitty stuff in here huh cotton candy oh those are some big big uh Frappuccinos I think we call puppuccinos huh oh frappacino frappacino okay and that's a puppuccino so there looks like there must be another trail that goes around the whole backside here that I definitely need to uh explore not today of course but we will we will So when you buy your membership you got to get in line and this is where you get your card so I do have to fill out the paper that green paper and uh yeah so before you leave the park if you buy membership make sure you jump in line to the side and get your membership all right so after a little revie handling the lady was say I recommend go online I didn't think about it but you go go online go online and you can make your uh membership on there uh it's a lot easier to fill out your information and then come here and all you get a barcode email sent to you and then they scan your barcode and then they take a picture of you and then you get your membership card so yeah anyways guys it was a fun day really cool theme park can't wait to come back and
