Hello, travelers.
Welcome back to walk about the world in our in-park family reunion that we have every week.
We are here at Disney's Animal Kingdom, the Harriest Place on Earth, for a very...
Hey, I'm waving at the camera while I'm recording.
Josh is doing a picture.
And I just said Josh, because the gang is all here.
Now, Rick, Michelle, you're missed, but the entire East Coast crew is here, including me, obviously, and Josh.
Hello.
and Jay. How dear guys. And Pete.
Hello.
And Yvonne.
Hello.
And guest are Heather.
Hi.
So we're here for a very specific reason.
And I'm going to have Mr. Producer tell you what that reason is.
And he's not even paying attention.
But he's going to now.
Josh, why are we here?
Sorry, I'm just so excited.
This is historic.
It is historic.
It is the first time in five years that we've had everyone on the
same episode in person on the East Coast.
This is great.
More than likely it'll be right.
We'll see what happens.
So, yeah, we're here because it is the last weekend of Dinoland USA.
It is the last weekend of the dinosaur ride before it becomes, and, you know, sorry, I'm happy
about it.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not going to lie.
But we're getting an Indiana Jones ride.
That is pretty cool.
Ouch.
Ouch.
Outch.
From the Midwest, right?
Didn't he like snakes?
Now, now he's going to be, oh, it's the guy from the ride.
And then they're going to see the movies.
It's a brilliant and beautiful way to introduce a character who deserves so much more.
Anyway.
We're here to ride the dino.
Well, the ride.
I'm going to miss Rist Rastrotosaurus, honestly, more than a dinosaur.
I love chicken fingers.
We were talking on the way over that restaurant and stores going away is the big sad time for Heather and I.
There's a lot of great things.
I mean, losing Chester and Hester's was the first big, ouchy.
The theming in that restaurant is, yeah, I automatically go and try to eat in the trailer all the time.
It is the best.
It's also like sort of the death knell for sort of original park characters and stuff, right?
A little bit.
A little bit.
It's so sad.
We had all the interns back in the day,
and then they brought back the interns a couple years ago,
as a musical act.
That was kind of fun.
And then they started doing the Christmas thing there.
Oh, yeah, they had Santa.
And now I wonder where that rug
with the Dino Institute logo is going to go,
because I want it.
Or the train in the store.
I want the train out of Chester and Hester store.
All of the Godzilla's?
Like, where is everything in Chester and Hester's gone?
Do we need to go check out?
Making an antique mode.
Coming in February 2nd.
Yeah.
Recycling the magic?
Yes, recycling the magic.
No want people to know.
Keep the sacred.
Gate keep.
What are we doing, Josh?
So here's the plan.
We're all together.
We're just going to do a little walk.
You know, passing the mic around isn't exactly easy when you have a group of people.
But...
Because we're choked up.
Is that why it's going to be?
I'm choked up.
The more we talk about this and where I want to go cry in a corner.
The closer we get...
You should record that.
That's not.
The closer we get to Dino Land, the sadder it's going to be.
Oh, Pete just pulled up the map in the wait time for Dinosaur.
It's going to be a hundred.
Yay!
It's just a long.
We're going to give you the best long line of dinosaur episode.
I promise we won't do that, phone.
I promise we're not going to make you wait in line, but we will, we're going to walk around.
We're going to go to the left here at Discovery Island and head into Harambe through Anandapur
and end up at the old Dino Land, USA, what's left of it, to say goodbye.
So let's go. Let's walk about the world, you guys.
Let's do it.
Where are we, Jeremy?
Where are we start?
We are right next to Pete Safari.
some of the best old ambience still left in the park over here at Pete Safari
although it seems closed a lot weirdly I don't know it's open now
tree of life
I'd like to go in the card that's the card story
would you like it?
Tree of Life Garden
I have to take it.
Here. I'll let you do that.
All right.
Taking control of the recording device.
So Josh can take pictures.
It's weird having a whole crew marching through the park at one time.
And we're here by Creature Comforts on your left now.
And here's a drink cart going by.
Enjoy.
And here's the very last part of the Tree of Life Garden that we were just passing, and Tara Treats,
which I haven't looked at in a while.
We have a Colombian-style hot dog, which I don't even know what that is.
It is topped with salsa and mayonnaise ketchup.
I think that's called aoli, or something.
Pineapple sauce, crushed chips.
I don't know, man.
Sounds kind of good.
I don't think you've ever had a tubular meat from this park, have you?
I haven't because...
You guys know that I don't eat tubular meat-shaped products in parks
because I don't want to be in the first-state area.
All right, we are crossing the bridge over to Harambe, Port of East Africa.
The whitewashed, crumbly walls on either side of the bridge.
Textured worn walkway.
Welcome.
It really is.
You can see all.
all the way down the Discovery River to Everest.
And look, there's duckies that, so it's like Michelle in the future.
Michelle, we have, we have duckies.
Duckeys have been spotted.
Yvonne is taking pictures in her element.
Hey, uh, hey, Yvonne.
Yeah.
What are you doing?
Taking a picture of a sign.
Oh.
We like signs.
Wait, no way!
It's Maradica!
They knew we were coming.
Oh.
Heck yes.
Why am I soft in the middle and all my nights are so long.
I can be your long lost pal.
Call me out.
Can you not sing this?
So good.
Little kids dancing everywhere.
So good.
This brings life to Harambe.
In Harambe Market, the food market is to the left.
Chef Mwanga's famous meats.
You're not going to want to miss those.
Malanga.
It's burgers and fries.
Sorry, that's coming soon.
We're not pleased.
It does not matter who you are.
Where are you from?
We're all children of the world.
It is.
And I'm going to hand this off to host Jay,
and we're going to head from here
out of Harambe over towards Asia.
Jay, how are you doing, man?
I'm doing all right.
Still hold my emotions back because of the dinosaur.
But it's okay.
And now, of course,
the the
African chicken tenders
that are coming to Harambe Market
I do hope you guys
enjoyed the
music going on over there
Josh is making sure to point out
that there's the famous sausages sign
I hope you guys smiled as much as I did
listening to you can call me Al
and the African take on that
I really really loved that
we started that sort of jamming
and I was happy
made me Uber smile
so if you guys smiled as much
as I did because I definitely enjoyed that from beginning to end.
But you know what?
Let's walk a little bit, get a little music transition here, and enjoy some vibes.
Gosh, that famous sausages sign is everywhere.
They must be delicious.
If anybody ever figures out where to buy those sausages, you let me know.
Checking out the times here.
Dinosaur has come down to a hour, I mean, I'm sorry, 115 minutes.
So maybe the longer we go walk, the shorter the line will get, that would be nice.
That would be very nice.
Pete's ready to go on the time.
Oh.
And I will be here waiting for Pete to get off of Collie.
Feel the need to get wet, huh?
I mean, Collie is five-minute wait.
Like, what's wrong?
Like, I don't know.
What's wrong with this picture?
You're not on it.
I think you should go get on it right now.
Like, when it's 50 degrees.
So, like, what's that?
been walking through
Africa
on our way to Asia
is such a long
a long walk
currently passing
Mr. Kamal's fries
who wants some fries
Josh if I give you money
will you go give me some fries?
Yes
if I can enjoy some of said fries
sure sure how much are fries
hey we're having a fry stuff
any of you guys need anything
Mr. Kamal's?
Yes.
They're like three of them.
You can have fries,
or you can have chicken dumplings.
Chicken dumplings.
Okay, go for it.
Use the card.
Use the card.
So, yeah, so Mr. Kamal's fries.
And then if you pass
Mr. Kamal's fries
and you go down this little tiny path,
you see the tree of life
in the best view possible,
in my opinion.
We're going to take a photo for you here.
So, yeah, as we continue to walk, as they continue to abuse the privileges of my card,
you continue to walk down this way.
To our left here is feathered friends in flight.
You know, say that.
Say that.
I speak.
I speak all the time.
Feathered friends in flight to our left.
And the place, oh gosh, the place with the...
Sitar.
Sitar.
There you go.
Yeah, Citar guy.
I still haven't seen the new guy play.
I have.
The other day, they had a guy.
group here, huge group of people. So we are coming up on what I like to call dish walla,
a.k.a. The Coke spot at the fork in the road. For sure, for sure. So as we continue walking forward,
you've heard me talk before about my favorite snack here at Animal Kingdom. It exists right here on the
left-hand side in the Yak-Nieti takeout window, which would be the chicken fried rice.
It is just good enough to snack, hold you over. It's phenomenal. They also do have steak fries,
so if your big potato connoisseur like myself, you will enjoy the fries here at the takeout window.
The park is slowly clearing out. We are getting into that golden hour.
here at Animal Kingdom.
I'm just going to peruse the Kali River Rapids waytime because, you know, who knows?
It is five minutes.
Now, I mean, come on.
Like, it's five minutes.
Like, who doesn't want to ride this ride?
It's five minutes long.
I don't, I think I'm in the minority here.
You are.
Definitely.
I mean, if you want to ride it, I'll hold a microphone and we can all laugh at you.
I mean.
It is five minutes.
Who can I pay to go on this ride with me?
Well, I told him.
I told him I was like, if he wants to, he'll ride it.
We'll just keep walking.
We can do it for the photo op just to take a picture of Pete.
Getting so beat by himself.
Is there a place to watch it?
There's a bridge.
If no one else is going to go, I'm not going by myself.
I'm really not.
Wow, okay.
I'm way out.
I'm sorry.
No, it's fine.
That's cool.
I just lost friends today.
So, it's okay. It's fine. It's all right.
We'll just see if I invite them on my next adventure.
Pete, I promise when it gets above 80 again, I will ride.
It's 70.
I mean, we're close. We're only like 10 degrees away from that.
Anyway, so no, I didn't get to ride Collie River Rapids.
I'm sad. I'm even more sad now.
Not only is dinosaur closing, but I didn't get to ride Collie River Rapids.
Not only is dinosaur closing, but I didn't get to ride the water ride.
So, well, it's fine.
I'll find some new friends. It's fine. They'll go with me.
Everest.
Everest is in view. Look at how beautiful it looks.
I'm sure someone will take a photo and post it on the episode.
My gosh, what a beautiful, beautiful view of the Forbidden Mountain.
Look at the moon. It's the moon.
The moon is up there.
And so we're getting to the end of my, you know, my walkabout here, but it is just great.
This park is my favorite park out of the fore here in Orlando.
I do enjoy the animals and the walking paths and the food and the rides and the people.
So without further ado, Avon is up next.
Hang on to those hats and glasses.
Hello.
I have taken over from Pete, who is now sulking because he did not get to ride the rapids.
But we are on our way to Everest.
It's an absolutely beautiful evening.
The moon is actually very bright right now, and it's only about to be 6 o'clock.
The sun's going down.
Everest is bathed in like this orange glow, and it's so, so beautiful.
Like, just perfect, perfect weather.
So I am walking by the restrooms that are on the left,
and we are by going by the lake that used to be the home to rivers of light,
and the, sadly, gone from us too soon, kite tails.
Wow. That's a long line for ice cream.
Almost as long as a line for dinosaur.
It is good.
The Yeti's Sunday.
Like the light is so perfect right now.
Like, a wrist is bathed and an orange glow and it's so beautiful.
Jeremy stopped to take a picture.
I'm going to keep going.
But the park is so, so busy because of dinosaurs.
Yeah, I noticed that too.
Yeah, part of the flags are refreshed.
And it's so funny, too, because the faded ones, I feel, look better.
Like, the bright ones look, like, too out of place.
But I know they do that because they're going to fade.
Yeah, it does look weird right now.
Yeah, it does.
Great.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They can at least do a little bit of reaching to them before.
The flags.
But I think it's smart.
But isn't the point in the...
The fair flags that when they change, they add news.
That's like when the fair was answered.
Hmm.
And that the Friday night.
Yeah.
So you make sure.
Yeah.
I like it.
I like it.
Yeah.
It's a lot for every right now is 50 minutes.
And it's in large part due to the fact that it's a Friday night.
There's actually a lot of school groups here and also dinosaurs closing.
So there are a lot of people here this evening just to get their last rides in,
before it closes this weekend.
I feel very, very blessed that I got to see the Yeti when it was actually working.
I got to ride Everest when it was during a cast member preview,
and we got to see the Yeti working, and it was truly amazing when it actually moved.
It was definitely very, very impressive, like how quickly it moved.
but unfortunately, it seems like it was too good to last.
And the ride is still a lot of fun, but that animatronic was so impressive.
I don't know if anybody else remembers watching the,
I think it was like a Discovery Channel special that they did
about the building of Everest, and they showed off that animatronic.
Let's see.
That's a wild popcorn baguette.
There's a hyena popcorn bucket.
Probably one of the weirdest popcorn buckets I've ever seen.
Bedazzled?
Just bedazzled.
That's a weird choice.
Yeah.
Or are they just like popcorn buckets and they're like, I have to complete the...
I had to take the picture.
The moon is so beautiful tonight and it's right over Everest right now and it's gorgeous.
So I have to take a picture.
But we are now walking away from Everest.
We are now crossing the bridge that goes from Asia to in front of where the Finding Nemo show is.
Almost completed our journey to dinosaur.
That's the time to wear them.
Because otherwise, I get it is way too hot to wear the giant furry heads.
I bought that giant goofy hat when I was in eighth grade on my band field trip.
Yeah, I wore it that day because, you know, I was cool, right?
Right.
Never wore it since.
Which one?
You know, the giant goofy hat, like the big...
Like the baseball hat?
No, no, not the baseball hat.
I'd wear that right now.
The big, high, like, green goofy hat with the ears.
Yeah, I had to buy it to be the cool kid, you know?
We should have a...
We should have a...
We should have a...
We should have a...
I'll have to find my figment one.
I have the old figment.
I got my gelatone headband.
There you go.
It looks like he's laying on my...
It's really cute.
All right, it got a lot quieter over here.
Passing the theater in the wild.
Home to the Finding Nemo, the big blue and beyond.
We're to the vistas of Dino World here because you know what I love in a theme park?
Cranes?
It's a wall.
I love a wall.
If you use your imagination, the giant crane is kind of like a dinosaur.
It's true.
It's almost like cementosaurus.
Wall USA.
Wallandia.
Whatever you call it,
it's sad.
Primeval World, I miss you.
I miss Premier World
World War. This is one of my favorite rights.
I like to. It would have been better.
No sarcasm detected.
No, it would have been better if it got wet, but
I like that.
Prime Evil Whirl was like
Collie River Rapids.
Only a roller coaster and you didn't get wet.
And you get a free back adjustment.
That's true.
Oh, it's all gone.
Everything's gone.
Oh, my gosh.
What is party pants from?
I'm assuming party pants is from the Enkanto movie, but I've only seen it once.
You can still see the Chester and Hester's right under the cranesaurus.
It still says souvenirs.
Yeah, look, there's street art. Let's go look. It's a dinosaur made out of leaves
or flowers. Let's go love. No, we did not.
Right under the cranesores.
Rift.
Rift.
I can't.
I can't.
Ah!
Oh, no.
And he goes.
In the train.
Yeah, that's really pretty.
You can really want to get all of them.
Where'd they find them?
You can hear everybody, everybody saying,
aw, when they see the dinosaurs, we're walking by.
I want to go in restaurants.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about right there.
Give me that temple.
People can't see what you're talking about
You know that right
Oh right. Audio podcast.
Mm-hmm.
The video podcast is on YouTube.
That's right, that's right.
We don't do that here.
So here's what I'm looking at.
It's a mural of a temple.
It's not an actual temple.
I'm excited for Indy.
I am too.
I am too.
Yeah, the Christmas lights are still up on Restaurantosaurus.
What the heck?
They're like, oh, we're going to kill it anyways.
Why bother?
morbid
all right
the mic has been passed back to me and we are
over here at restaurant
asaurus
which weirdly
has Christmas lights still up
so the little
C-7s on the water tower are still up
which is kind of cool
and you can't go very far
but
Restaurant Osaurus is here and all its beauty
it's closed
I think right
isn't it
yes
It is closed.
I think some folks were wanting some food.
Boo.
And you have the airstream trailer out here front.
It says eat here.
Number 15244.
And I really love this.
What does this say?
Yeah, right.
Here's a little sign.
One of these like little hidden signs.
Way down low that says,
your food scraps haven't fossilized.
We fertilize these plants.
These very plants that you're looking at right here.
That you can't see that I'm pointing at.
Made, made, okay, you will be able to see it.
Made from your trashed tableware leftovers.
And it says the Compostasaurus Club.
Right?
Everything is a soror.
That's right, yeah.
And it says, cool.
I feel like there's far too little plants here for the amount of leftover food that they probably have.
Oh, and we have a jealous bone playing.
You know, jealous bone.
Come on over
We'll hear it
If Heather will get out of my way
I just
Literally crashed into Heather
Now we're having a
Traffic accident
This right here
This right here
Is what you're really gonna miss
When Restaurantosaurus is no more
Until walk the dinosaur
Jealous Bone digging up bones
All that stuff is gone
See?
That's what we're
what I meant. And over here, to our right, we have the Terradactal Terrace, or Petaractal
Pataris, as it is spelled. That's right. I said Petaradactal Patyrus, and then the guest
right next to me said it too. This is a magical moment.
If you look through this window here, we can't get in, but...
Wait, why are they going in? Can we get in?
Because people just went in. People just went in. Apparently, I'm totally wrong, and it's open.
Now we have bad to the bone
There's a lot of bone
Pony music
There's a lot of bone
Uh centric songs in here
Hey guys those people just went in
Like it's not lost
I'm going in
Let's try
Let's go in
It's good scooting music Jim
See look
Look at this window
Yeah
There's chest
There's chest
There's chest
There they are
You got that right
Josh is gonna get the door
These gentlemen
Sweet
And he is open
Yeah. Oh yeah, we're in here. So like, apparently we can get in the door, but it's not actually open serving food. But it is cool to see. I definitely will not be back here before this is closed permanently, so I'm having a bit of a weird moment. And I'm not even joking around. I love this place. It's got a lot of nostalgia.
If I'm not mistaken, some of this artwork is painted by Joe Roder.
I really don't know.
Yes.
Well, I know it's a fact.
I don't know which ones they are.
But some of the paleontology photos, I mean, paintings are Joe Woody paintings.
Man, that's cool.
Oh, pause for background noise.
Don't you want to wait until 659 and be the last person on the ride?
Like, so you get our own car?
Like I did on Tower Chair, and it's amazing.
That has happened to us on Rise of the Resistance.
We got every pre-show.
Every pre-show in the whole ride, but our own car, it was amazing.
Yeah, I did Tower Terror a little once as well.
It's like the coolest, freakyest thing ever.
No, you can hear all the noises.
Exactly. All the cable snapping and everything, it's great.
Hey, I'm going to stand right here real quick.
There's something you don't get to see very often because what are we looking at there, Pete?
There looks like something like explosion, maybe of some kind.
You're actually seeing the lit-up sign, the meteor sign.
Usually never hear this late to see it.
And it's usually, yeah, I was going to say, probably not this dark.
It does look like that they are just going to, like, keep the back of that.
It's interesting, though, that...
The name of the Rye is not lit up.
It's not lit up, but it's just the background of the explosion.
I unplugged it because I'm about to take it.
I mean, it really, like, I do feel like it's like a crapshoo of what animal sharks are or aren't working.
Okay, so.
kind of like on brand.
So some of my friends who recently went on it said that they did,
they did fix a couple of things.
Oh, I would do that.
I heard that actually?
No, no.
That's pushing your love.
But like the, you know, the one that's eaten the...
Oh, the one at, like, like, rear's back and he's, like, swallowing him?
Correct.
And like the raptors were moving, so I don't know, we'll see.
Do you remember more than one burped and now doesn't burp anymore?
Yeah, he used to burp.
He took the burp out.
Yeah, and Seeker went, whoops.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, that was great.
No more.
They did take that.
Oh, I thought it stopped letting up.
Sorry, I'm crazy.
I thought it stopped lighting up.
Come on.
Yeah.
All right.
Want to get in line?
Cheers.
What is going to be our photo?
We'll have to figure that one.
What are you going to take is your photo, Jay?
What's going to be your lasting memory?
Are we crying?
Are we?
If you were Jeremy, you put up a new.
Are we sleeping? Are we bored?
Okay, it's funny you should say that because I actually did write this one time years ago with some friends and I had like some kind of newspaper with me and I'm holding it up in the picture. So I do have something.
Hey Chicago boys. What are we going to do with Sue over here?
I mean the, you know, Sue and he used the insight to Chicago.
The real, the real soul.
Whoa. Look at you don't see this. You don't see this part of the line in.
The extended queue guys. I'm changing my mind.
You can go over there
Let me grab a picture
Where did we get in?
Where did we get in?
It's funny that you know
Because they really did
kind of like slow it down
And it used to be a lot more intense
And I feel like somebody
Actually got injured or something
Yeah the extended
Yeah the extended queue
Is very extended
As one would expect
For us
For people showing up
When it's time for
Time for time for
the extinction event.
Like, I'm kind of curious, is that really only 80 minutes?
Because I assume that it means it also all of the switchback.
How much is lighting lane?
Let's buy it.
So when we got here, it was what, 120, right?
It was 120, then it went down to 100.
Currently sitting at 80.
And we all know that's Disney time.
I got to get a picture of the 90s.
That's cool.
So that backlight we were talking about in the sign
looks really cool from this.
this particular angle.
And once again, the moon shining bright above.
Sure does.
Looks really neat.
Pete, how long have we been in line?
We've been in line for 12 minutes and 48 seconds.
Okay, so we've had to do the extended queue, like we said, and we're to the point.
We're still in the extended queue.
Outside, still outside, in the forest.
It used to be parts of the Cretaceous Trail.
Some great statues that we don't know where they'll go.
But they're lit pretty close.
cool. You've never done the stem to cubit. This is great. You got ominous music. You never really
get to appreciate the score and the ambient music that they play outside because you never really
come back here. Yeah. So this is nice. All right, we are about to enter the Institute. What time?
Where we are at? We are at 43 minutes and 45 seconds. All right. Going through
The double doors into the museum part of the Dino Institute,
aka the past.
All the fossils, predator, and prey.
Behaviors of dinosaurs.
There's Albertosaurus over to our left.
Florida box turtle.
Yes, the dusty old diorama.
What's a diorama?
Giant centipede, an alligator gar. Goodbye,
Campo-Batar mammal.
Oh, that's creepy, okay.
See?
What's that?
Extinction.
Extinction.
So close.
Impact, extinction, marine and land.
Extinction.
So close.
Too soon.
It's light's too bright now.
We were out in that darkness for so long.
I was starting to reach.
It's like.
It's too dark.
It's too light.
She's like Goldilocks.
Yeah, usually this museum closes earlier, right?
It's too dark.
Usually it does.
With Bill Nights, just.
So, of course, when you turn the corner,
You go into the second room
Where you see
The beauty that is the carnatorous skeleton
And I'm not sure with all the noise
If you'll be able to hear
The Bill Nye narration or not
But we'll see what happens
A T boundary on the wall
Looks like they're moving
Moving along once you get in here
So
It's on to the tour that the future that the past
The future is truly in the past
Trans-Dimensional Joyride folks
I'm Dr. Seeker, your friendly controller and a heck of a paleontologist if I do say so myself
But let's not talk about me, let's talk about you, and how you can help me
make history today with the time rover. It's like this. If I can bring you back from the
Cretaceous period, it stands to reason that I can bring back a live dinosaur with you. And not
just any dinosaur. Take a look at this guy. He's in a guanodon. And I'm certain that he is the key
to understanding these magnificent creatures. I tagged him with a locator during an unauthorized
field trip. Otherwise, I'd be traveling with you. Right now, our dino should be about here
at the very end of the Cretaceous period.
That's what you're going today.
I'm arrived, it seems just in time to correct a little misstatement.
Dr. Marsh.
That is impossibly close to the giant asteroid impact
that destroyed most life forms on Earth
are tools designed to take you to the early Cretaceous period.
And I can assure you that all time rowers
have been securely locked on those coordinates.
That's right.
See?
Securely locked.
Access denied.
Continue
Of course
We were just talking about seatbelts
Plug them in, use them
It can get kind of choppy out there
So keep your hands and arms aside the vehicle at all times
Flash photography? I wouldn't
It alters the homing signal and that's not good
Oh and one more thing
Those locked to coordinates
We're in
Now here's the drum
You follow the homing signal to me of one or not
Then I'll enlarge the transport field and boom, you're back with one additional passenger extra large.
And don't worry about that asteroid.
You'll be in an hour before you can break the atmosphere.
Trust me, what could go wrong?
Who do you guys are on a special mission?
So don't tell them.
It's going to be on a nice tour with some dinosaurs, but some holidays.
Okay, will these banners, will they fit in our house?
You could use something
It's like a shower curtain
They could be on
Quilts
Yeah, yeah yeah
Bedsheet
Well you would like put like a mining
shower curtain
Where there's only one side
There you go
So we finally made it
Down the steps
We're in the Dino Institute basement
To the Time Rovers
What's the time?
What's the official time
To the ride, Pete?
55 minutes and 40.
All right, 55 minutes
So it was Disney time, that inflated wait time.
Attention, guarden all the articles suetons.
Abrochance the centurones and remain sates with the hands,
bras, and the piernas, dentro of the vehicle.
Vigilen to his children.
All commencing in T-minus 10 seconds and counting.
This is secret. Listen up.
Computer, what are you tracking?
Styrakas.
Not our dino.
Warning, meteor shower in range.
Just little one.
Time to get serious.
Locked in auto-tile on homing signal.
Now!
No, on the scope.
Could be ours.
Computer, full step.
Not our dino.
Still not our dino, but at least this one's a vegetarian.
Impact in 90 seconds.
We better move it.
Teradactol.
Incoming!
Going, keep going.
Cops on maintenance.
What's happening?
Loss of traction.
And we're here.
We just did Dinosaur.
And now it's smashmouth time, apparently.
And we're singing and dancing.
Awkwardly.
But thank you for joining us.
Final thoughts on Dinosaur before we wrap it up.
It's that, you know, I'm going to miss the dinosaurs,
and I'm going to miss the darkness of the ride, figuratively and literally.
It's pretty dark.
I'm going to miss the episode.
Hello there.
Oh yeah.
And I'm also wondering what the Easter eggs will be in Indiana Jones.
Because you know they're going to keep some of it.
They better have Easterers.
Well, we can't talk about it right now because it's proprietary.
True.
I get it.
That's one of those big words.
That's what Mrs. Cosby says.
Absolutely.
I get it.
I'm going to Miss Claire Huxterborn.
That's right.
You're Miss Claire.
Wait, what are we got now?
What are we got now?
Volcano by Jimmy Buffet.
Oh, yeah.
here we go.
Will we miss the soundtrack of Dinoland?
Yes, actually.
It was fun, right?
It was fun.
It was over fun.
We were doing the dinosaur.
In a pirate radio station being operated by interns in this very building, going to miss it.
And then, of course, the chemical composition of ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
That's going by by now, too.
It's kind of nasty, though, to be honest with you.
Altogether.
Altogether.
I am a sauce person, so I love this.
You can't help but wonder what they're going to save.
If they're going to save, what are they going to save?
You know, like, what are they going to save for the archives, if anything?
I'm going to make a prediction.
Dino Institute.
That the Dino Institute logo is going to get weathered and stuck in that Indiana Jones ride somewhere.
I agree.
That's pretty safe.
I hope you're right.
Because honestly, that is one of the best logos in the park.
I just love it.
Is Chester and Hester
They're the parents of Indiana Jones,
I mean?
Oh, they would have probably been the same age as Indiana.
I didn't ask Heather.
No, yeah, she's, I'll be honest.
And this is a time to for honesty, right?
Yes.
I freaking hate that ride.
I freaking hate it.
Me too.
It is uncomfortable.
It hurts my delicate parts.
I don't think you're writing it correctly.
And half of it is just black.
Half of the ride is just black.
I will give you this, though.
Over the years, it has...
It's rough, man.
But at the very beginning, I mean, like, one of my fondest, like, memories of this ride was that first year?
Yes.
I mean, the first year...
I've never seen it working.
When it opened, and it was so intense, the ride was so intense.
Everything was, like, way faster, way louder.
Like, the chase.
It definitely was louder.
The chase scene was insane.
Like, you really felt you were in danger.
Like, you thought he was going to come and chase after you.
It was insane.
We're not going to make it, Josh.
I really thought I wasn't going to make it.
And I remember even before it was the carnatoris that popped out at you,
which makes really not a whole lot of sense.
It was a meteor.
Yes.
The meteor was coming at you and you ducked under it
because that was essentially what the boulder is in Indiana Jones.
Right.
So obviously, I'm assuming they're going to have the boulder scene
because that's how you end the ride.
I will say dinosaur is one of my few memories of actually riding a ride first for the first time
because I've been coming to Disney so long that it's rare that I get those like oh I remember the first time I wrote this ride
and I will remember it because I rode it with my aunt and we both had not ridden it before we had no idea
and she was chewing gum before we went on the ride put a pin in the ride that gum freaking
disappeared I guarantee you that we rode the ride and she screamed so much she came off the ride and
She's like, I don't know where my gum went.
And I looked at home and the gum was attached to my T-shirt.
Oh, my gosh.
So that was not terrifying.
Was it a dinosaur or was it Countdown to Extinction?
Oh, when we wrote it.
It was a countdown, probably, right?
Yeah, I forgot about that.
And then that first time that I rode,
one thing never changes that it, the breakdowns.
And I got to write it twice because they kept this on because it broke down in the middle.
The lights all came on and then we had to go to the...
We have to pause because this is one of the most disgusting things.
funks you're ever going to hear right now right that's just dirty grungy i'm going to miss the human
toaster i like that oh yeah the toaster feeling like a pop tower yeah it's just great i don't know
love the to i like the ride i really do i just i like it a lot i don't know what to tell you
also lost bill nigh and two attractions no right people and university energy and now this one
both dinosaur attractions bro right yeah and both of them the dinosaurs
Didn't end well.
So I'm going to miss Dino Land.
Yes.
My ass is not going to miss Dinosaur the ride.
What do you say?
Oh, we have Dementosaurus is no more.
It should be near us right now.
Judy is the OG cementosaurus, and we're going to keep her forever.
I once took shelter under the posterior of Cementosaurus during a thunderstorm, and it was amazing.
With the light nipples?
Yes.
Sheltered by.
the nethers of cementosaurus.
Well, thanks for joining us.
It's been a cool day.
It's been downright pleasant here.
It is very warm.
Tomorrow is going to be freaking freezing,
so this was a perfect weather night
for us to come out.
Yes.
And drop us a line and tell us your memories
or some of your thoughts about dinosaur,
whether you're super looking forward to Indy
or whether you're just really bummed out that it's gone.
You can do that at Walkabout WDW on Instagram.
You can email,
us at contact at Walk About the World,
that, yeah, that's the thing that you can do.
That's what you can do.
That's it from me.
I got nothing.
That's it from us.
Hey, thanks for coming, guys.
We've enjoyed the extinction event with you.
Long episode, but I think it's well worth it.
And you know what?
For sure.
Thank you guys for all being here.
Oh, we did it.
Dude.
Yeah, this is a first.
Really cool.
Yeah.
Darn right.
Edit it out, Josh.
I'm like a hundred dollars.
We will not let this go extinct.
Okay.
For the first time in Walkabout history,
I might just add a bleep.
Do it.
Do it.
Oh, yeah.
Can you do a bleep?
Okay.
I'm going to get that little E.
I'm going to fix it in post.
I thought we were going to do Afterdog, no?
That's not afterdog.
It got dark.
It got dark, so it just starts coming.
We're not in that.
Please see the unedited version at www.
www.
walkabout afterdog.com.
For $20,
you can own.
Well, it's funny because I've had to edit out F-bombs and bad words.
Not by the crew.
But in passing, right?
People are passing.
Not by us.
Not that we're never thinking it.
Oh, we're thinking it.
Well, that wasn't one of us.
It was like some crazy guy that walked by.
That's right.
A bald-weirdo.
Anyway.
Wait.
Yeah, that's right.
We feel good.
Good way to end it.
We feel good.
hopefully that you feel good and we're out of here.
Thanks for joining us.
Bye guys.
Bye.
