Anyways, for those unfamiliar, Dylan, you cover a lot of specifically the SoCal parks,

your SoCal guy.

Yeah, that's like my home base.

What would you consider was like your home park? Like, what did you grow up with?

That's a good question.

Oh, man. I would say like all of them because I went to like a bunch of them. But I would probably say like Disneyland was was usually the go to Disneyland and Nottsbury Farm. I went to those two a lot when I was younger. And then it just kind of started branching out. And yeah, I feel like I go to all of them equally now. And then the irony is that you chose an attraction that is on the other coast. Oh, yeah. So why Veloccoaster? Good cue. Because Velocaster, I mean, I had a moment after that ride. It was so good. I was like, you know what? And when we were talking about this, I was like, we have to talk about Veloccoaster. I feel like it's just such an iconic ride. Was it because your brain rattled against your skull during the Mosasaurus role? Oh, there was, I had to change my diaper afterwards. It was like, that moment of the ride, which I'm sure we'll talk about a little bit later, is just phenomenal.

It's incredible.

No, you do have to ride this ride while wearing depends.

Also, just want to give an extra shout out to this guy's YouTube channel.

I watch his channel religiously.

I think he has, he's probably among the best YouTube coverage out there of all the

theme parks.

I never miss a video. So I'm very excited to have a little show. Thank you. I appreciate that. With your videos, it kind of feels like you're kind of hanging out in the park with you a bit. Yeah, it's always been the goal. I want people to feel like they're there with me. I don't want it to feel like it doesn't need to be too like high production. but I want people to feel like,

okay, this is the POV,

you know, we're walking through the park with Dillon. So, and I film everything on my phone. So that's, that's crazy. Yeah. So I just shoot it in wide and I just, I roll with it. And it's so much fun. Also, I love this thing you do when you film where, especially when you're covering, say, for instance, Hollywood Drift, which is the new coaster over at Universal Studios, Hollywood, for those of you don't know, you'll do this thing where you'll record, but then you'll put your hand in front of the, in front of the camera to point at things, because a lot of times people will be like, oh, it looks like they're doing this or this or that, but there But there's no like visual cue for where I'm supposed to be looking in the frame. So I always appreciate that little detail. And I also love seeing you and your partner walking around. That's awesome. It makes me feel like we're hanging out. Yeah, we have a great time. With that being said, why don't we get into some first impressions for this ride. And we'll start with you, Dylan. Do you remember
