[Music] Good to see you, Doug. Doug knew and Edie pop Kay. Hello, good to see you guys. Who are the other two people in the room? Are those the two people who give me a thumbs down on all my videos? Good to see you guys. A man, that's three. Good to see you guys. Hey man, traveling the roads of America. And Debbie, that makes four. What am I up to? I'm in Coney Island. Hate to see a candy cookin'. Hello, that's five. Good to see you guys. You guys want to go on a ride on the Wonder Wheel? Do you guys want to ride the Wonder Wheel? It's almost closing time here in Coney Island, and I am still out here, as always. Sure, Debbie says sure. No, we can't now. They're the write-ups from the free full rider. Kind of lame tonight. The right operators are totally lame. They're totally lame tonight. Always right. I'm gonna totally piss off this police car right behind me here because I don't think they should be having heavy

vehicles like this on the boardwalk. So, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna be a complete [__] right now and keep on getting it this way intentionally and then walking slow [Music]. We'll have some fun right now, but good to see everybody. Yes, you know there was like an ordinance, like we all had an agreement that they weren't supposed to drive their vehicles, those heavy vehicles on the boardwalk like that, but they still do it. So, I just make it a point where I went, Honey, when they get on my nerves, I'll walk in front of them. Whoa, yeah, but some of the ride operators, I tried to get on the cyclone just not with you guys, but that was not happening. That was not happening. The guy actually made me empty my pockets before going on to the one-up, before going on to the cyclone just now. He was like, You don't have a cell phone in your pocket, do you? And I was like, I do, but I

never have a problem, so that was a little annoying. But then, on my second ride, I took my phone, but only for Instagram. Anyway, there it is. Let's go - let's go to Tino's Wonder Wheel park. I have one more ride left on my five-ride ticket. [Music] But as you see, finishing up here, they are just doing their job. But there was an agreement. See, what happens is when you drive a three-ton vehicle on the board. Well, if you destroy the boardwalk, and we don't want concrete here, do we? But it's because of the NYPD driving heavy vehicles over the boardwalk. It's what's completely destroying it. And like I said, there was an ordinance. We did come to an agreement with the community so that they would stop driving their heavy vehicles on the road, but they still do it. So, oh no, they're closing up. Oh no, there's a Wonder Wheel really closing up. Dammit, did I just miss it? The kiddie park's emptying out. Oh no. Oh, I think I think I

waited too long. What time is it? Yeah, 11:55. Dammit, I think they just closed up. Let's see, let's see if the other side entrance is still open. I doubt it though. So, looks like they're clearing out the kitty park. See what the hell's going on here. Oh no, I waited too long. Yes, the police can't use some bicycles and horses. This is the cool treehouse that they built here. I want to explore this today, but uh, it was a million degrees out here, so I couldn't do much live-streaming out here because it was that hot. I tried to start up a live stream on YouTube earlier today, but the gimbal did not like the heat, and I got a weird warning that I've never seen before. And yeah, I had to go look it up and had to go like look at the manual and online. Yeah, oh, I'm gonna wait till tomorrow. Good to see you there, Ted. Yeah, the heat, it's not the heat, it's the humidity. Absolutely. Who decide interest is still

open. Yeah, we're gonna be here tomorrow, tomorrow night on facebook.com slash Coney Island USA. Tune on in at around 9:30. We're gonna play another game of Dungeons & Dragons, Freaks and Dragons episode number 4. Yeah, literally the warning was It's hot, shut me off now. Okay, let's see if we could get on this thing. Let's see if we get the last turn, the last turn on it. I got the maintenance shed open. Always a nice time out here. Oh yeah, I got the maintenance shed open. Oh my god. Hey, so I'm gonna try to get on there. Let's see, let's see what's, let's see if we get on here. Let's see if it gets like the last run. Oh yeah, look at it. So get the last run. Alright, swing in cars because I don't want to wait. Swinging cars because I don't want to wait. Yes, we're gonna go take the moving ones. It's my last punch out hole. That's what happens when ticket to the beach. Yeah, I gotta take the swinging bar.

all right, all right. We're going on the Blues swinging cards. We're going on the Bluths weekend cards. There's no line here because there's no line there. All the facts of the Wonder Wheel that dance know at the history guy got completely wrong for his big Twitter events that they had. Damn snow at the history guy was very surprised that Muslims hung out with Jupe Jewish people. He thought it was quite a novelty for him to see the different races of people get together and get along and hang out. I thought I liked that guy until that very periscope killed me. Anyway, that's called America. That's right ahead. That's called America, baby. He was like amazed at his Twitter that day. It was so like disjointed. I was like really dude, they're amazed by that? But he was dance time at the History guy. He thought the Wonder Wheel was built in the forties. What? It's 89 years old man. Opened up a Memorial Day 1920. It's 400,000 pounds of Bethlehem Steel. 144

people can ride on it at one gate and any given time. This was for you, Jim. Yeah, man, still here after this ride. I'm probably gonna go back to the bar, call the Uber, and go home. That was a really weird, weird, scary movie. They played a scary movie today at Coney Island USA. It was really cool, but it was really weird. But a shopping cart running beautiful, but the ride ups our little Milton at the cyclone. They're a very militant at the cyclone. [Applause] Like empty your pockets militant. It was really weird. Good to see him. Good to see you, Joe. He riding around to wonder. We were gonna ride the Wonder Wheel because I want to ride the Wonder Wheel. Yeah, it's okay, chip phone tag. That's right, Zoey phone tag. So looks like we're gonna get a blue swinging car number one, blue. So me, or maybe red swinging car. Let's see. I'll go and go in the red car. Yeah, no, no red car. Yeah, all right, we got the red car. This is the one if there's

any car out of Sweden cars you should ride. It's the red car. Good. So now we got people in the blue car swinging. Nobody in the station. A little people to stationary. Wait again the magic of balancing the Wonder Wheel. I did not know that they had to balance this thing. And so very until when when Jim made his amazing movie about a day in Coney Island. Let's look at it as I'm schvitzing like crazy. We're gonna go about a hundred feet into the sky. Luna getting ready to close dinos Wonder Wheel parking really cuz they have refurbish the ride every winter here we go play oh wow it's really it's a smooth man if you only saw how much work the Kimble was doing right now is the one I visit one of the money of the gimbal paid way it is a little kick there's a little kick that I like here comes here comes a little kick on the one too we let you love to strive me too let's look at the beach kind of now I

don't hurl. I don't hurl them. These rides don't leave the rides. I make that make me hurl. Ours writes that spin around a lot, like the Endeavour that Jim made me ride once and never again, and like the Luna 360 that should have made me ride once and never. L. We're never riding it. They got the front gate closed. They're closing down the kiddie park. This is the last digit. This is the last run. This is the lat literally the last run of the one wheel for today. There's the eres, the prototype version of the air race ride right down there, and of course right behind it, the beautiful 91-year-old cyclone. And there's Manhattan, as us Brooklynites call it, the city off in the distance, that beautiful use, the best view in the world. It's the best view in the world. It has become somewhat over the top here. Should have a nice view of Thunderbolts. And why the hell are the parachute jump lights turned off already? What the hell? Are there that many birds out here? Are

there that many birds. How's the aquarium? Aquarium is doing great. It is open for business. It is open for business, but you can't live stream in there because, again, you're inside a shark tank. There's equipment above you, so can't do a live stream in there just yet until they get proper Wi-Fi. Every time you see those stuffy cars, you think of the opening. That's right, welcome back, Kotter. Go to my previous periscopes over there in Periscope, and we rode the D-train, and you can see New Utrecht High School, the high school that is shown in the opening to Welcome Back Kotter. That was like a couple days ago. A couple of days ago, we did that. So I heard tomorrow is gonna be like a hundred degrees here in New York City, so I am probably gonna hide out in my apartment until it's time to play Dungeons & Dragons. Tune on and Coney Island USA right down there. There it is. There's my beloved freak bar. There's

Coney Island USA. Go to checkout. Go to facebook.com slash Coney Island USA. Like their page and watch all the videos of doing lots of live streams for them. Now I really hate the humidity and the heat too as people talk. It'd be funny as I look into my phone. This is why you want to ride the red car. Now the red car goes swings free of the wheel. There's nothing in front of us here we go. Look at the thunderbolt man. I love the new lights on the Thunderbolt. I love the new lights on the Thunderbolt. They look so cool.

I thought it was gonna come off the tracks. That will get me featured on YouTube front-page baby front page. All I gotta do is die. Nobody has ever been hurt or died on the Wonder Wheel. You'll get seasick yeah if I focus on the phone right now. If I focus on the phone and try to like really read the comments I get seasick. I get a little motion sick because I'm focusing on the phone. But as we come back to the ground that is it. That is back down to the realities of our lives of the dreams of our dreams. I know you can't make any money when you die but my family will get the money but my family will get it alright to the sad part of the day. So time to when it's time to go home.

Let's end this by walking into the freak bar and getting a beer, and you're gonna watch me not pay for it. Astral and rocket right there. Astral and rocket, and there he goes. Any kind of revenue I can make off this video gone forever thanks to the song playing in the background. All right, you got your beer? Good. Have a good night, seve. Have a good night, man. And say that's it big on the gate.

letting everybody out one by one, showy as always. Everyone followed Joey here on YouTube and Joey underscore 67 on Periscope when the damn Periscope works. [Music] That should not know it is a violation. You'll see, you'll see. I won't be able to monetize this video any kind of background music now. You're more than welcome to show everyone. Follow Joey. Yeah, hi. Joey was down here earlier today, and I really wanted to watch his Periscope on the beach, but I couldn't enter the damn room. And they're very puritanical here in YouTube, but I'd rather take the parents' interview and have a fun, fun environment than the chaos and the mayhem that is on Periscope. Yeah, I know bad signal and look good on the replay though. You're more than welcome to pull the ride guy Hammond. Okay, the second video was good. It came out good, but [Music] yeah, 500 will follow Joey's 67. It's my happy place. It's my happy place.

It's my happy place. Let's see, did the Pearl S show let out? Hopefully, it did not. Oh yes, it did. So, it's crazy crowded in there right now. So, I will see you guys later. Glad you guys enjoyed the ride on the Wonder Wheel. It's time to grab a beer, call my Uber, or go home. But from Coney Island, USA, this is Dutch, my signing off.
