[Music] Ah, here we are. One like a cold out here. Let's ride on the ninety-nine-year-old Coney Island Wonder Wheel. Let's see if anyone tunes on in. Good to see you, Laurie. Welcome. One last ride. I have been given the inside information that everything will be closing momentarily, so let's take advantage of our one last ride on a historic ninety-nine-year-old, soon-to-be-100-year-old Coney Island Wonder Wheel. Good to see you, Will. Good to see you, 80s music playing. I tried to do a live stream on this cyclone earlier today, but that was not happening. That was not happening. But this is it. Well, we're going on. Good to see you, Cheryl. Welcome. This is it. Yeah, getting ready to close for winter. The rides got to close for winter. Tomorrow is technically the very, very last day, but looking at the weather tomorrow, that is definitely not happening. So, we'll take one last ride here for the 1919, 99, 2019 season. [Laughter]

Having some fun conversations for people to freak bar today, trying not to get too emotional. I wrote everything I wanted to ride at least twice, so I'm kind of good on rides, but I have not rode the Wonder. We look at this. This is where the ghost hole was. This is the way the ghost hole was and the ll that sorry the Polar Express. Here's some remnants here, some remnants of the ghost hole. Ah, that's the nightmare feel for you. Why not? I cannot believe the amount of space that's back here though. Some more decapitated ghouls. That is, that's the motor for the Polar Express. The whole rode, the whole ride used to rotate around that. That's all gone. The next season will be the hundred season of the historic Wonder Wheel. But as you see, got it got dreary. I'm happy it was out here when the Sun was out. I'm so happy I was out here when the Sun was still out. The end of the seasons always a little sad at the end of the season. Oh
