Oh my gosh guess where we are oh it's easy to tell today we are at Carowinds we haven't
been here since um last summer pretty excited this is definitely one of our favorite Cedar
Fair parks um I have a love hate relationship with the games because the games that I really
do love here are the like really kind of wacky ones like their goblin toss and their archery
um but they notoriously have like a ton of basketball games and a ton of water gun games
which are great because I know those are big money makers for them and I see a lot of people
playing them because they're usually winner every time and usually the basketball games
are pretty attainable so I love that games are winnable here so uh let's see if we can
win anything last year we won a lot of Squishmallows maybe some Squishmallows today I don't know
let's play some games at Carowinds!
We are back it is the archery game at Carowinds and we played this quite a few times last
year because well first off the novelty is just great we've never seen a game like this
still haven't haven't repeated it yet. Dorney Park. Oh Dorney Park did have one yes it was
a little different though something was like harder about it. It was way farther. Farther
okay so I still think this is the best archery one I'm pretty excited about it we've gone
ahead and paid to play twice so I mean let's see how it goes and please honestly um do
not comment on his form in the comments in the comments we are not professionals we've
never taken a class or done any sort of archery ever in our lives so we treating it like a
carnival game not like real archery. Okay oh watch out for that bee there's bees down
here. I know we're not having it. I'm not having it man. Okay we got our sweet bow here
it's Safe Archery. Okay are you going on this right one or the left one. We're going on
the right one I think. Okay. Am I holding this the right arm? Let me see if I can get
lined up here.
Okay you ready? We're ready. We're gonna take our first shot. Okay
Oh my gosh whoa way out to the right okay so do you have to get it in the yellow? Yes
sir. 2 out of three for a small prize out of the basket, but if you get all three into
the bullseye any prize of y our choice.
Okay all three is any prize in this entire booth two out of three is a tiny little opossum.
They have a lot of variety here too a lot of different size prizes. They do there's
no trade-ups here either. Oh man. We're going to redo that okay thank you thank you this
is rough this year I don't know I'm gonna I need to change up my form here I need to
learn how to do this. We need to go take a class or something, we have everything else
to practice at home but definitely no archery to practice at home okay so this is number
two.
Oh that was really good okay this is why we paid to play twice already. Yeah you got to
warm up once right.
All right so this is number three we're out of the running for a prize but this is just
good practice.
All right so that was round one. Okay. No win no win okay let's let's switch to the
left okay let's not get confused here let's switch to the left. Guys look at all these
prizes while he's getting set up what variety. I like the opossums. Okay let's see. All right
let's jump over here all right let's go left side number one.
Oh man and of course now a huge horde of people have decided to walk by so I'm sorry for all
the noise oh my goodness.
Oh on the red we needed the yellow. This is it I mean we already lost but. We might have
to play again yeah let's try to get a win.
Oh my gosh red again. Okay I think we might play this again. I'm really impressed okay
let's let's talk about it let's strategize let's see what's going on. Okay we're back
in action we took a brief break and we watched two other people play um one fellow got one
yellow and one really close, and the other fellow got two like um kind of right on the
line and they counted it because they're pretty nice here so uh we're actually gonna switch
to the winning bow. Yeah we switch bows. I mean I think that's a good idea sometimes
all right. Hey! So maybe it was the bow. It's the bow. So that's one. Okay. Oh gosh. It's
a good line up left and right.
Yeah it got kind of weird there it just like flailed. I'm praying for a opossum. All right
let's go possum let's go possum. That's a possum! Oh what color possum do you want?
I mean the arrow disappeared did you see that it went all the way like behind it. Oh my
gosh. Oh do you want a purple possum or pink one? Um oh I like the little I don't know.
Let's do the pink one the pink one's like cotton candy let's do
that. Oh it does look like cotton candy. Oh my gosh a little purple tail too. Check that
out.
Okay you guys will remember this is the game we spent way too much money and time and love
on last year no regrets last year all of the prize levels were Squishmallows this year
they still have the 16 inch Fury Squishmallow which in case you're keeping track of our
collection we don't have it's not in the stores now I'm regretting not buying it now this
is a crisis now I need it um so if you get it in any of the holes which is like just
kind of like a winner every time you get one of the Kleptocats which we love a good winner
every time game obviously it's in the name and then if you get it in one of the orange
ones let me count how many orange ones are one two three four five six seven eight nine
ten eleven twelve, there are a dozen orange spots to get one of the Plants Versus Zombies
here or one of these Christmas meerkats? I don't know what animal that is and then um
there are five red spaces and that will get you the Fury 16-inch, five red spaces okay.
And if you remember this last year it was a winner every time still but they gave you
like balls and play and play and play and play until you win which usually didn't take
a whole bunch but this year you just paid the ten dollars and it's just a basket and
if you don't win at the end of it which is getting in all the uncolored holes that's
when you get the small Kleptocat. Oh you are so right I'm so glad you said that I was okay
I was confused okay so are you gonna start with the blue one? Yeah we paid for twice
already. Okay yeah. I'm gonna go put this red kind of in the middle here because I don't
want to get it in the orange holes. Okay. So let's see.
Oh sail right over okay and so Spencer's doing a nice really gentle underhand throw let me
get a little bit with your arm in there okay okay so the game will stop when he runs out
of balls or he gets it in an orange or red. Oh my goodness. Guys this is intense okay
I do think that he has a really great strategy picking this one specifically because there's
not too many ones near it we'll try to get you guys a top down view.
Wow that one really lost momentum early. Okay wow that one did not go very far at all. And
again he's throwing it really gently here and he's got it within two away from it, one
away from it okay that's two away again. There's also this red over here and these reds are
pretty close to each other. Yeah I do still think you have the best ones here oh gosh
it happens it happens. Thank you. You're welcome guys. Come on oh that one's close, this is
quite the game, that one went right in. I hate it when they go right in and don't really
bounce at all. Oh oh oh one away. What the heck?
Oh wait do we need to move it though is it going to impede us? I don't know. Can we poke
it in? Let's see oh oh oh no oh what the heck okay I think it should be okay. Okay.
Oh wow I've got a lot of those potty shots though. Okay so let me talk a little bit about
strategy if we're not going for something specific if we were not I would have played
on the other side and gone longer um just to have more odds of it going into a color
the reason he's going this short way is just because we're playing a really specific game
here today like I'm saying this is not normally the strategy we would use if we were just
playing to win anything.
Oh my gosh I still can't believe we got it one away. Oh I know right one away right?
This orange one over here is making me nervous. Oh wow okay so we're still doing okay we've
got about eight balls left yeah five six nine yeah. See it's got that weird stretch cause
it's right at the crease here. Oh yeah the crease. Let me step a little bit to the right
here. He's moving here. I like bouncing it off the crease cause that means it'll go.
Ooh one away from that red
That's crazy oh gosh oh I feel like I'd be like sad if I got an orange and I shouldn't
be sad if I get a prize you know? Yeah it's true I mean you get a prize no matter what
it's a winner every time but we want that red come see I'm not seeing on not seeing
too many loops out of it and then like continuing on come on oh oh okay like that. If it stalemates
if it stalemates and just stand like in the middle I'm gonna if it stands right in the
middle don't even land into it I'm gonna call it. You're gonna call it. I'm gonna call it.
We've done it before, you guys have seen us play in other games where he stalemated it
and it just stands and then someone once said you can't do that again and then he did. Okay
this is my last one okay for this round.
Come on oh one away. Okay all right let's regroup and switch to the red one. All right
okay update I've asked permission so I can kneel up here to get you guys a better above
you view. All right we couldn't figure out why that one ball was stuck in that hole though.
I still cannot even from my up high bird's eye view. All right so we switched to red
balls now red ball red hole red ball red hole. Red red red red.
Ope, on the ground. Thank you. You're welcome.
I'm hanging a little bit to the right. I know it's because of the crease. I know I can't
tell if I have chosen a hard one to go for oh! Are you kidding me. I'm counting that
had to be counted because that just. Oh my god. Oh oh my this is it. This is your last
one?
Oh my gosh. Gotta get off the counter that was crazy. Did it just toilet bowl on us?
It did it toilet bowled,
I like the official terminology. It just toilet bowled on us.
Oh my goodness okay. Well let's get our two cats. And we gotta talk about whether we're
gonna play again. That is cold. It's our color. Okay take three look what color we got we
got purple our color purple, let me show you guys our new little bags this year too. See
it matches.
Okay all right let me get. Get back to your position. The official. You ready? Yeah this
is ridiculous.
Oh no! We got an orange. But we can keep playing. Yeah yeah I know the mission is for the red.
Okay the mission is for the red. Okay let's go let's go.
I'm gonna fall off of this thing I'm gonna. Oh are you kidding me one away. Whoa oh okay
this is it. Oh my gosh no. This is it
Oh no yellow no one away from yellow okay so we got a yellow this time so we get a Plants
Versus Zombies or a Christmas Meerkat. Okay let me show you guys. Either yes. Is it a
lemur? Meerkat or a lemur. Okay well I don't know are they soft? We have to check it out.
Bleh Plants Versus Zombies ready? Oh! Head just come straight off there. Oh no. There
is a Plants Versus Zombies Garden Warfare I think it's closed right now I think. I think
they're using it for a school performance. That's where I'd want my school performance
to be in the Plants Versus Zombies theater I think that's kind of cool. That's terrible.
But it's mildly themed I like that it's the least themed to the ride. I literally hate
it. You guys why do they I just want that it's so cute I don't want that, I want that.
Okay drop a comment what do you like better that Plants Versus Zombies or that, this one
this one this one this one! Okay it's take four we got yellow this time all right let's
go okay well and these are orange so not yellow so oh my gosh wow oh I was gonna be like if
you got it on the first one of this one I would have lost it.
I'm not even making it down there oh. Oh oh oh aww.
That same one! That same one are you kidding me.
All right well. I don't want another creepy zombie. That's when I wish games like this
had the trade ups. I know.
Another zombie. We got an orange right? Yeah orange so another creepy zombie.
I don't like it I really hate it. It's uh he's got a little suit on he's. I mean I like
his little suit but. I'm just gonna keep doing that all the time. No I hate it I mean I'm
sure like Plants Vs Zombies is still really popular so it'll be fun to donate. Yeah sure
yeah. Yeah we'll just have to I'm gonna put a a note on it. I'm gonna wait till October
to do it. Yeah I'm definitely gonna put a note on to like where it's gonna go for donations
