Starting point is 00:00:00 All right, welcome back everybody to another edition of Walk About the World. I am your co-host today, Pete, aka Neverland Local, and I am with a special guest. Well, he's not so special, but a special guest. Not special. Well, in your own mind, and maybe to your mom, but who am I with today? It's me, Josh. It's producer Josh Steele with an E. And we are today, well, where are we today, Josh?
Starting point is 00:00:34 We are at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Disney's Animal Kingdom. And one of the reasons that we're here today is we wanted to be here to celebrate, reminisce, whatever you'd want to say, about the opening of Disney's Animal Kingdom that took place on April 22, 1998. Is that correct? Correct. So this would be the 26th year anniversary. And we want to just do a walkabout of the park and see what we can hear
Starting point is 00:01:05 and see where it goes from there. So hopefully you will join us, and away we go. Walking into the oasis. Yes, we are. Yes, we are. What are we hoping to see in the oasis. Yes, we are. Yes, we are. What are we hoping to see in the oasis? So, I always hope to see the giant anteater over on the left side, the left pathway.
Starting point is 00:01:36 Well, let's go and see if we can see the giant anteater. He's usually there, but I'd like to see him active for once. Walking around or doing something? Not playing dead? Right. Okay, well, this is the first part of his enclosure, I believe. So I've seen him over there before. He's not over there.
Starting point is 00:01:53 His normal place to sleep is over here. A gorilla. A gorilla. You don't have to. Hmm. Doesn't seem to be out currently The southern giant anteater Well Maybe we can come back
Starting point is 00:02:14 Later and see if he is around And being active We'll see, he seems to be pretty elusive Stay tuned Is there anything in particular Other than the giant anteater Exelucid. Stay tuned. Is there anything in particular other than the giant anteater that you would like to see today? I think it would be cool for us to kind of do a deep dive into some opening day. Dinoland would be good, considering that its time is limited. It's going to be extinct soon. Sunsetting. Yes, so let's take a walk over to Dinoland. But first, enjoy the Tree The Tree of Life.
Starting point is 00:03:07 I can't see you, Pete. Oh, man. There's no video attached to this? We're walking towards the Tree of Life in all of its glory. It's probably a good thing they can't see us in your dance moves. Just saying. Now, would you agree or disagree that animal kingdom has a different vibe in the morning and in the afternoon and the evening? Ah, yeah. Absolutely. I think in the morning it's a lot more active, and I think also the sounds I feel are...
Starting point is 00:04:15 I don't know if it's purposefully that way, if it feels louder, if it just sounds louder, or if it's actually louder, because it feels like all the ambient noises and music is very much more noticeable in the morning. There's Russell. Hey Russell, how are you? But yes, I agree with you. I feel like it's louder. I feel like when you leave the park, the volume of the music is lower, but now I feel like it's like loud and maybe that's like to get people excited about the day and energize them but even if that's not the case that's what we're going to
Starting point is 00:04:51 believe that it does it for me yeah for sure plus everyone has a lot of energy right now that's why i'm dancing pete stop making fun of me and when you get to the end of the day, everyone's just like, where's my car? Where's the bus? Disney wasted. Disney wasted. So we have meat and greed with not Pocahontas, Moana. It used to be Pocahontas. Have you ever met Moana?
Starting point is 00:05:22 I've not. It's impressive. Have you ever met Moana? I have not. Dino Land. We're going underneath the arch of Dino Land. Crossing the bridge. Trilobites? Or is it Trilobites? Trilobites. Trilobites? Trilobites? I say Trilobites? Trilobites. Trilobites?
Starting point is 00:05:45 Trilobites? I say Trilobites. Okay. It's probably not going to matter here soon. We're taking suggestions on what we think Trilobites will turn into once this land is reimagined. Josh, if you had to guess what they could change this name to, I implored our guests to come up with names for that particular place,
Starting point is 00:06:13 knowing that it's small bites, it's going to be in a different section. What do you think? Do you have any ideas? Not yet. I'll have to think about it. But I hope it would be something funny. I'm sure it will be. I'm going to stop here because what I think I would like to do, Pete, is to do a deep dive
Starting point is 00:06:34 and let's look at all the details. Sounds good. Because there's so much that, you know, Dino Land gets a bad rap. Sure does. I don't know if you know this. Well, the fact that they're sunsetting it, probably. Yes, so welcome to Dinoland USA, the friendliest fossils in America. I love that sign.
Starting point is 00:06:55 That sign looks like a national park sign. It's meant to give you the feeling of this whole idea that this isn't just a land it's a park it's a roadside attraction it's not just like a little tiny section
Starting point is 00:07:17 in a big park it's supposed to seem like it's actually like a big a big thing a big barter, like you said a roadside attraction with Chester and Hester's and excavation and all these things. Yes, so underneath the bridge into, well, underneath the fossils, there is the Olden Gate Bridge. This fossil gateway is composed of the giant bones of a brachiosaurus, one of the largest creatures that ever walked the earth. It stands 52 feet tall and more than 80 feet long.
Starting point is 00:08:00 A peaceful plant eater, the brachiosaurus' enormous neck allowed it to browse amid the upper branches of prehistoric forests. This replica fossil is cast from the bones discovered in Colorado in 1900. The original is now in the Field Museum in Chicago. Hey! In Chicago!
Starting point is 00:08:19 To get a closer look at the astounding giant, visit the Boneyard, our working dinosaur dig site. I wonder if that was intentional? Like they spelled peaceful with two L's? With two L's? That's what it looks like. You want to snap a photo?
Starting point is 00:08:36 Do you want to snap a photo of that? Yeah, I got one. Okay, well there you go. So now that we have passed underneath the brachiosaurus which during christmas time they put lights on it and possibly a donald hat on top of it which is always great so to our left is the boneyard the fossil fun site where you know kids can go down all the slides and all the it's a great place to tire your kid out basically and then behind us
Starting point is 00:09:10 is the dig site basically a gigantic sandbox I can honestly say that I have been down many a slide in there chose some in particular because I felt like i was going to get stuck so but definitely entertaining for sure so in when in dinoland look at the signage there's so much wonderful wonderful signage in dinoland and a lot of them you know are puns and a lot of them
Starting point is 00:09:42 are um you know it's just a lot of fun it's a lot of fun. It's got a really fun feel to all of them. This is the Vacation Club kiosk. Mammoth Vacation Values. With a woolly mammoth. And then it's Gargantua Saurus World Tours. Visit all of
Starting point is 00:10:00 our fabulous sites. There's a sign on the side that looks like where Chester and Hester's is. It says, there's nothing prehistoric about our accommodations, which is great. Which is great. Like, what a great little sign. But again, there are things that unless you're paying attention, you don't see. Then next to that, we have uh pterodon for tots and
Starting point is 00:10:29 aptines most most things uh spelled with a p uh gifts of extinction and then uh sign that says follow me to dino land usa this is a good one this is a good one too it says picture yourself as a dinosaur if you are already a dinosaur we'll draw you as a human so just look looking around here and seeing all the signs it's just great to be able to take a look and the big fossil has a pencil in his hand in the dino hand and the feet as well it's great
Starting point is 00:11:17 it is really great but again, it's the things we always talk about especially at Disney is to stop and take a look whether it's up, down, around, there's the things, you know, we always talk about it, especially at Disney, is to stop and take a look, whether it's up, down, around. There's so much to see. What do you think the percentage of people that come to theme parks that are, like, nerds like us, that really appreciate this kind of stuff, versus the general theme park goer that just kind of takes it in for what it is? They don't really know about it. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:11:42 But you have to understand it from their point of view. They have six days, and they have to do four parks, and they have to get it all done. Go don't really know about it. Exactly, but you have to understand it from their point of view. They have six days and they have to do four parks so they have to get it all done. They don't have enough time to lounge around and be like, hey, let me go look at the Asian brown tortoise and the
Starting point is 00:11:57 abdomen storks and things like that. You don't have that time but we definitely do. There he is. Oh, he's in the nest. Ooh, two of them. And there's the tortoise in the back.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Storks do look like dinosaurs, though, don't they? They do. That's cool. That's awesome. Wow. Ooh, there's three of them. Cool. A trifecta of abdomens.
Starting point is 00:12:33 See, even the choice of animals and plants for this land, that's the kind of stuff that, that's that Jorodi detail. Yes, it's not done by accident. There's no accidents. They're not just throwing animals in here. I mean, those birds look like prehistoric birds. They do. Agreed. And that's the whole Dino Bash, Donald's Dino Bash theme, you know,
Starting point is 00:12:55 is that it's the birds' ancestors and celebrating that idea. It's really cool. Exactly. Where are we standing in front of now well we are in front of restaurant asaurus uh home of the impossible burger and uh this is another place well we've talked about uh you know this whole time here in dinoland that you know nothing is on accident everything has a you know a purpose and uh in here it is just another this would be considered like a diner as part
Starting point is 00:13:28 of the roadside attraction I believe it's run by the interns run by the interns yes so you have the pterodactyl terrace and the chairs up on the roof the dino institute
Starting point is 00:13:43 interns yes I love this restaurant up on the roof. The Dino Institute interns. Yes. Yes. I love this restaurant. It's the the weather vane. Weather vane. We got a dinosaur up there.
Starting point is 00:13:55 We got their laundry. There's little dinosaurs all over. We got the the chairs up on the roof. We got the basketball hoop and the roof. We've got the basketball hoop. And the ball.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Got the Airstream. IR Smart. The International Osiris, it says. And IR Smart. $152.44, Josh. Any idea? Any idea? it says. And I are smart. 15244. Josh, any idea? Any idea?
Starting point is 00:14:33 Maybe an Imagineer's birthday? Huh. Like we've always said, there's nothing on accident here. Everything has a purpose. Research. Research. Research! Restaurant Osaurus. And actually, everything that you see in this area has Osaurus
Starting point is 00:14:54 after it. Like the heat Osaurus, the big water tower. Have you heard me? Have I heard what? At the first word. Uh-oh. There's the word right here, right now, in Dino Land USA. That's great.
Starting point is 00:15:19 That's great. Probably not a huge line for Dinosaur right now. Yeah, let's go to Dinosaur. For sure. And I will be humming Indiana Jones while we are right now. We'll go right down there. Yeah, let's go to Dinosaur. For sure. And I will be humming Indiana Jones while we are right now. Will you? I hope you will.
Starting point is 00:15:39 So I was thinking about when this does eventually become Indiana Jones and the queue for the Indy ride at Disneyland and in Tokyo is just as impressive as the ride itself. So I'm wondering if they're going to expand and use all the Cretaceous Trail stuff that's part of the queue, maybe? You're talking about the outside stuff?
Starting point is 00:16:01 Yeah, yeah, yeah. But maybe it'll be inside? I don't know. I don't know. Enclose it. Enclose it. Somebody had asked me about space over here and i was like well they have more because they have the trail exactly because they just don't utilize it when it's unless it's really busy for sure so that'll be interesting to see oh yeah because most of this you don't even see right unless it's like really really busy day so so as we approach you have aladar
Starting point is 00:16:28 dinosaur and i mean looking at it it does look like it's a museum like it looks like what we think it would be an institute i love that and you don't really you don't think about that there's a giant show building behind it correct i see it now because i don't really, you don't think about that there's a giant show building behind it. Correct. You kind of see it now because I don't think they've really been taken care of. But, you know, just because the trees, the tree line on the hill, that makes it look like it's farther away. For sure. I love it. Five minute
Starting point is 00:16:56 wait. Let's go, Pete. Let's go. Morning. Welcome. I do enjoy this queue. Even though there are some times where it gets busy and you have to wait in line, but it's entertaining. There's a lot to look at, a lot to hear. Nini Thank you. I love all the murals in the rotunda here. Like I said, there's no shortage of things to see, for sure. Especially this big Carnotaurus in the middle of the room. Something tells me we may see him again. Definitely not our day yeah the murals kind of tell you the periods Wow! You're so nice! Thank you!
Starting point is 00:20:26 So cute! Wow! We're gonna get to watch this! I was just one! What do you think of Rick and Morty? 65 million years ago! Wow! There it is! As you can see, it's a war of all this trouble!
Starting point is 00:20:44 And tilling with life. Fish fill the seas, and new creatures such as insects, birds, and small mammals are beginning to exist. Forever. This is the Age of the Dinosaurs! Several hundred titans, and they have this incredible world right here. Ah, yeah. a public world. Whoa! A second, definitely small meteor shower is a gift from Europe
Starting point is 00:21:14 to create an explosion of fire. The United States, with a price more powerful than the spin of a five-speed train, is landing at the sea. It's 60,000 miles an hour. It creates a massive cool wind and stirs up storm. It's a huge dust cloud. It's gone out of the sun for three months.
Starting point is 00:21:38 It's toxic gas. It's acid rain. Nothing gets along with that. Science and technology The Dino Institute has created The Tide Rover An amazing vehicle That will literally transport you To the age of the dinosaurs.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Our Vax provider. But the result is a breathtaking journey through a prehistoric world that will witness the most spectacular creatures to ever walk the earth. In a moment, you'll be going live to our control center for comprehensive safety briefing. And then it's on to the tour that will convince you forever that the future is truly in the past. Hello there. Welcome to our little trans-dimensional joyride, folks. I'm Dr. Seeker, your friendly controller, and a heck of a paleontologist, if I do say
Starting point is 00:22:46 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.
Starting point is 00:23:03 Take a look at this guy. He's 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
Starting point is 00:23:18 should be about here, at the very end of the Cretaceous period. That's where you're going today. I've arrived, it seems, just in time to correct a little misstatement. Dr. Marsh. It's impossible to approach to the giant asteroid impact that destroyed most life forms on Earth. Our tools are designed to take you to the early Cretaceous period.
Starting point is 00:23:36 And I can assure you that all time lovers have been securely locked on those forms. That's right. See? Securely locked. those boards. That's right. See? Securely locked. Access denied. Continue. Of course. We were just talking about seat guns. Plug them in.
Starting point is 00:23:58 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 and one more thing those lots of coordinates we're in now here's the trigger you follow the homing signal to the iguana node 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.
Starting point is 00:24:25 He'll be out of there before he breaks the atmosphere. Trust me. What's going on? Go off. Hey, it's me again. Remember, only you guys are going on this special mission. So don't tell anyone, okay? I love that the gift shop even feels like a museum gift shop. Agreed. Agreed.
Starting point is 00:24:45 Everyone that I've ever been in, that's what it seems like. What did you think? How was that ride? Did we catch that dino? We did. We got him. Last minute. It was close. Size XLR. We almost didn't make it. We almost didn't make it.
Starting point is 00:25:01 Yes. And we come to probably one of the best parts of the whole area. Dinoland, Donald's Dinobashland. It is Chester and Hester's. It is the true roadside attraction gift shop. You could spend hours in here looking at all the stuff. Signs and dinosaurs and just absolutely everything. Probably one of my favorite gift shops, to be honest. Dines and dinosaurs and just absolutely everything.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Probably one of my favorite gift shops, to be honest. Prehistorically low prices. The old Smilodon. There he is. Says, have a nice day. This way to the prehistoric. I mean, the puns are never-ending. All right. Windows with the little brachiosaurus coming out of the window eating the plants.
Starting point is 00:26:00 It is truly great. Come on, enjoy our Ice Age air conditioning. Inset decoration. I mean, they went all out in here. I like all of the murals on the walls that are dinosaurs made out of, like, random things. So there's one right there with a foldable yardstick. There's one made out of
Starting point is 00:26:29 a gas pump. And then just all the posters. There's a manatee. What are you doing in here? And Jeremy, yes, the train is operational currently doesn't have a locomotive for some reason but it is operational I'm going to find all the Godzillas.
Starting point is 00:27:14 There's two right there. Good old Chester and Hester in the flesh. Well, in the frame, anyway. In the frame. In flesh, in the frame. If people want to see that, they've got to look.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Well, if you were to walk inside Chester and Hester's gift shop, walk right in, come to the right, and kind of make almost like a U-turn. There's a tiny little shrine to Chester and Hester with a picture on the wall
Starting point is 00:27:52 and their first dollar bill. Or if you're coming from the ride, from that side, from the back, you just keep going towards the front and it's right before you get to the doors on the left. There they are. Yeah, it's true. The theming is great.
Starting point is 00:28:17 Did you ever see the Batman comic? Spider-Man? No, Batman. I know where the Spider-Man comic is. Oh, right next to the Spider-Man. The Spider-Man's right there. So if you're coming from the ride... They're all themed. The dinosaurs.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Yes, correct. Batman and the dinosaurs. So if you're coming from the ride, you come inside just here above the Nuemos, we have a Batman and the Amazing Spider-Man on the wall.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Both of which have tried to be hidden. Godzilla. I honestly think one of the other things in here so you have the big dinosaur when you walk in but I think the thing that people see too is this marionette mickey kind of just there but again it's like tying it in like you know you don't lose that you're at a disney park no not at all obviously you're in a gift shop but but it also fits in because, like, you know, I've been to roadside attractions off of 95 or off of, you know, like Route 66 and everything, and you'll see that kind of stuff.
Starting point is 00:29:54 It's just like random Mickey Mouse. So it fits. I love it. Agreed. Perfect. Great little hat, too. Sure is. Sure is. All right. let's move on moving on
Starting point is 00:30:09 now here on the pin truck are some extinct pins which are currently not showing but you can see pins older pins they're not selling anymore but they have record of them here and they're really cool to look at when it's available it's currently unavailable what kind of gasoline are they theming here i don't know okay fossil fuel yeah sinclair oh okay because their mascot is a dinosaur oh it's a dinosaur I was looking at that one dino power it is
Starting point is 00:30:52 awesome so right in front of us here we have what we like to call dino dumbo and then the large dino-rama sign that we will walk under.
Starting point is 00:31:09 We're erupting with gifts. So as you walk under the sign to Dino-land, or Dino-rama, I should say, on both sides of the sign, there's a photo op of you to take a photo with an ode to the hitchhiking ghosts but in dinosaur form. So we have one on the right and one on the left. And as we continue into Dino-rama, on the right here is the former location of one of my favorite rides, Primeval Whirl. Primeval Whirl went extinct a few years ago, and it's unfortunate because it was a great ride. They didn't knock you around a bunch, but it was truly a great ride. And on the left-hand side here, we have triceratops spin,
Starting point is 00:32:09 or like we lovingly call it, dino dumbo. Dino. So just some of those signs as we're walking through here. We're erupting with gifts, prehistoric prices, mammoth deals. There's that mammoth again. The saddest one of all. Going out of existence sale. Everything must go.
Starting point is 00:32:43 It's a true-to-form sign. At one point we knew it was going to be true true and now it's probably more truer than ever. The dinosaurs say goodbye and by is spelled B-U-Y. It's a goodbye. But as we walk along this area, restrooms on our right, old primeval world on our left, we have the digs county usa sign 498 which represents april 1998 when they first opened and then there's a big sign of when visiting digs county see the dino institute so where we just were and it has the aladar and you know but if you want some real fun visit chester and hester's dino rama rides games laughs um very cool sign for sure yeah it literally echoes the the theming adventure into the past in
Starting point is 00:33:35 dinosaur discover sue the world famous tyrannosaurus rex enjoy the boneyard playground explore the cretaceous trail all the things welcome to digs county where fossils are the way of life now in that photo or in that mural we see kind of everything that we've you know that we have here in in dino land including look at that is that indiana jones no not kind of looks like indiana jones it's a mix between Alan Grant and Indiana Jones. But yeah, that hat. I mean, I've always thought, hmm, hmm. But look.
Starting point is 00:34:12 Do you see it? What do I see? Look right next to, well, next to Cementosaurus. Yes. What is that? Primeval Royal? Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Still exists in the billboard. One of my favorites. I like that ride. And Cementosaurus is still orange in that picture, too. He is. And honestly, I don't remember him being orange. He's like a yellowish orange. Or even yellowish orange.
Starting point is 00:34:32 I just remember him being green. Chester and Hester's Dino-Rama parking lot. 50 cents is crossed out, and it says $2. Because I'm pretty sure once the Dino Institute moved in, they upped their prices. Upped the price. Because now people are coming to it. Yes. The theming in this land is amazing.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Like, every square inch is themed, which is awesome. They got into the asphalt. Yeah, the road. Did you point those out over here? I did not. I didn't. Are you talking about the Hidden Mickey? Or the Hidden Butterfly? I didn't.
Starting point is 00:35:15 So between the Welcome Center for Genesee's Dino Bash and the World's Largest Pintruck, there are a couple of hidden objects in the ground, in the cracks in the ground, one being a hidden Mickey, and one being a hidden butterfly. So as we continue in the dino-rama, then we get to the games section, kind of a carnival-type atmosphere with games, whether it's a basketball shot,
Starting point is 00:35:45 it's a wackasaurus or a wackadino, I think maybe it's called. Dinowama, shop till you're dizzy, the dinosaur with all the gifts. And then I think the feats of strength thing here, it's hidden, so a lot of people don't see it, but a dinosaur flexing. And you could be a wimposaurus. You could be a bicep-terraptor.
Starting point is 00:36:11 You can be a brontosaurus, a buffadon, a tyrannosaurus flex, and a triceps atops, which is great. I mean, those are all great ones. Oh my goodness, look who won again. Number 13. Great job. Anything else that we want to do over here? Oh, really? We got fossil fuel error, we got
Starting point is 00:36:39 mammoth marathon, and then comet crasher. And one of us did win a prize here at Comet Crasher and I believe there will be a photo of that in the notes but yeah so Dino Land is great obviously
Starting point is 00:36:54 we definitely like to see change or like to see new stuff this one is going to be tough I think for a lot of people because they do enjoy it I think once you walk around the land and see everything there is to see you really enjoy it
Starting point is 00:37:14 but yes we're excited for the future we're excited for what's to come whenever that would be it is what it is what do you think Josh? come whenever that would be. And, you know, it is what it is. What do you think, Josh? I'm ready. I mean, I've always loved Dinoland, but I've also always
Starting point is 00:37:33 loved Indiana Jones. And so I think it'll be an interesting change. I really do hope that Joe Rohde has something to do with the changes at this park. I feel like they need him. You know, this is his baby and making major
Starting point is 00:37:50 changes to his baby, I feel like he should be involved. So that's why kind of with him being involved right now and coming back for a guest spot or whatever, I kind of hope that maybe this had something to do with it, but hard to say because they're going to keep their secrets to me. Yes, for sure.
Starting point is 00:38:05 But I'm ready. I'm excited. Well, I mean, I think that just about does it for us here at Dino Land today. It was great. Let's go take our picture in the funhouse. Alright, sounds good. Well, that about does it
Starting point is 00:38:21 for our episode of Walkabout here at Dinoland. And as always, we'd like to give a special shout-out to people at our Beautiful Tomorrow level.
