We are back in Kings Island this season really excited they've got two arcades here we're
gonna start with the one by The Beast it's a little bit smaller the one in Coney Island
kind of near the Orion coaster is gonna be your bigger one with the bigger redemption
area which is why we're choosing to end there but we're pretty excited the arcades are under
new management this year maybe the claw machines will finally be winnable II don't know let's
check it out because it actually looks really nice and clean inside.
This is this is already entirely different you guys they've already changed on the carpet
uh it's taken over by FEG I think it's Family Entertainment Group and they've done a lot
of the other Cedar parks uh arcades they have the contract for every single one so we have
a lot of new games a lot of their arcades have pretty standard games they have a lot
of the same stuff throughout all of their arcades so this is going to look really similar
to the Cedar Point one and a couple of the hotels like the Great Wolf Lodge that they
also manage but a lot of really cool stuff a lot of claw machines a lot of ticket claws
as well that's exciting.
Well it looks like we had one very lucky Squishville claw over here.
Wait that was filmed less than like 30 minutes ago when we walked over.
We should have won all of them but then this one is like really full which makes me wonder
if they're like on different strengths like if that one was too easy to win but we've
got to try them, I'll come down here we won't be able to hear Spencer because we're on the
ground but you know um go for a pink or purple one okay let's see yeah pink or purple because
we actually here's here's a pro tip for you guys I take the eggs that these come in oh
you want a gem oh no you didn't.
It opened to drop the gem before you even got to the slot so I actually think that was
broken and dropping things.
From where this is I think the purple one might be reachable over here by the chute
but let's take a look.
Okay so here's a pro tip for you guys like I'm saying if you guys have these at home
um Spencer actually drills little holes in them additional little holes um and if you
have an adult at home that's a good thing to use an adult for and I use them to hold
my makeup sponges.
Let's just maybe we should just ask him to move him to the middle?
Yeah maybe.
Let's see let's see.
Okay in an unexpected turn of events they just gave us two because they couldn't figure
out how to fix it it just was like it wasn't doing the you know the claw machine were like
drops it thing it was just like opening too early so but that was very nice of them I'm
very excited to open these later but let's let's see what we've got going over here.
Oh my gosh there's a 900 over there and a 900 over there over there this is okay take
the camera let me see what I can do we're gonna try at least a couple times ooh it's
toasty in this corner.
It is hot right here for no reason.
That sign that you introduced in front of him said air conditioning.
Come and cool off in the arcade it is actually unseasonably toasty here already so.
Okay this one's pretty close to the chute so let's see what happens okay well that's
uh this is a 900 win right there okie dokie.
You have to be a little more excited.
Oh no I only got six tickets you guys only six oh my gosh yeah.
I was gonna make a 007 joke but then I didn't realize it was 006 I'm so dumb.
Let's try it one more time let's see there's so many nine hundreds and if you can't see
the numbers the 900 ones are the light green.
Let's see.
Um which one are you going for?
That one in the back.
Oh I didn't even see that one because there's so many guys.
Oh that's oh it's gonna grab on that one on the right no way no way okay I'm feeling pretty
good about the claws here now.
Guys this is such a redemption from last year we spent like 30 dollars and won nothing.
Oh my gosh is there another I'm going to go for that 600 back in the corner.
Going for this with the 900 near it?
Yeah so maybe it'll separate.
Oh yeah maybe go for both you know no I'm just kidding don't be greedy okay so he's
going for the purple 600 is what he said.
It's still swinging pretty wildly.
You let that last one go and it was swinging pretty wildly.
No no okay there's one we're going to try it no.
I think we're good I think we're good.
Three tries and eighteen hundred tickets, Let's get some other games going.
1800 tickets already that's crazy.
Check it out whoa yes appreciation post for the uh fully really stocked Spongebob Pineapple
Arcade game here I love this I love it I don't see any Garys off the top of my head oh good
it's extra loud just how I like it.
I'm not getting this timing down at all.
There we go.
Did you already get a card?
Yes that's all that's why I swiped once I just wanted that Patrick.
Oh.
It gave me like 20 tickets.
Wait what?
What is going on?
Why is it giving you so many tickets?
I wonder if this one is miscalibrated because it just gave me a ton of tickets.
When we walked up earlier today this one was paying out 800 tickets.
Well it didn't even give me my card though.
But look how many tickets you got.
That's just from one swipe I've already got 71 tickets, seventy five.
It's still going 74?
74 but it didn't give me my card.
Oh um.
That's weird okay yeah look they even cut off the little thing this sign usually says
card is 50 tickets, token is however many one two or five.
And it's yeah it's typical we see a lot of two actually.
Yeah but it doesn't even have it okay let me swipe once on this one I just want to see
what happens.
This is for science guys.
You guys know we love science.
This game in here is so loud.
Okay okay so that was like four tokens.
Is it giving you five per?
I think it might be.
It's so loud!
It's only loud if you make it loud.
It's very loud.
Okay well yeah that already gave us like 30 something on six oh yeah and we didn't even
do like that well.
I'm gonna just sit here and play this game for the rest of the day then okay bye.
Bye!
I'm just kidding we're not here to play coin pushers today but wow catch me here all season
when we come back.
That's over 100 tickets on two swipes there's one card technically but it didn't even give
me the card.
We're gonna get a big prize today.
Okay we have to play the Squishmallow claw it's like required.
It's required by law.
It's required by Winner Every Time law.
Always try the Squismallow claw.
What is that ball doing in there?
You know just just hanging out.
What's going on?
Oh it reset it so even though it let me start controlling it it like put itself back.
That was weird.
It was not happy with me.
No thank you not today Spencer.
I'm going for this yellow chick just because it's kind of on its own not super close to
the chute but.
Yes but everything close to the chute is kind of in a bad place let's see how it goes let's
see let's see let's see what happens.
Beautiful lineup great job.
Thanks.
I think it's still got a.
Let's try one more time for this one now that it's separated from itself.
Is that a bunny it has rainbow ears?
Or is it a dog?
It kind of looks like a dog.
I think it's a bunny with rainbow ears because I can see the one underneath it.
This is all Easter so that would make a lot of sense.
I still really like this cotton candy bunny.
I do too.
So there's three different bunnies in here?
I think.
It's a little excessive but.
Let's see how the spin goes.
Oh how risky I love it.
I mean that's exactly what I wanted no okay so it's it's definitely got a payout rate
it's definitely not quite yet.
Do you think if you got that one up a little bit higher or no?
I could try it again because that was a good grab on it.
Okay one more time and then I think we always say three I don't know why we doubt ourselves
and then like go back.
That's true look at this kind of the Squishmallow logo but kind of not at the same time it's
not the official Squishmallows logo you can tell by the font but they like tried.
It's like someone made it in their Etsy store.
Why aren't you going for the ball you don't want to win the purple ball?
I thought about going for the ball actually oh that's a really good grab no.
Yeah it's been doing really well but.
It looks like it's gonna like grab it so hard but then it just doesn't pick it up oh well
we'll leave it.
Yeah we'll leave it a good place for someone else this is still in a really great place
to win this is still very grabbable this technically is but I think we left two of them in a really
good place if anything I think we've improved it for the next person.
We are in the Coney Island area surrounded by carnival games and you find ourselves at
the other arcade so this one also has been fully updated from last year some great claws
out here still which we love oh another giant Squishmallow claw that one is like a massive
Squishmallow claw that's a Big One uh okay all right I'm digging this the layout's pretty
similar I'll be honest uh brand new carpet same your same coin pushers that you guys
know and love now these ones are Family Entertainment Group Branded so they do have different cards
so if you had Kings Islands cards from last year I'm assuming that they would accept them
because they're pretty chill here but they do have new cards for this year oh Pusheen
machine I have a feeling Katie's going to make me play this uh overall it looks a lot
nicer here a lot cleaner, a lot more working this year I'm not sure if they've taken out
some games though but it's not super filled but it looks very nice and there's a ton of
people playing.
Wee oo it's another Police Superpowerful claw machine Katie's in you only have 10 seconds
so she's gonna go for that little dog right there is that a dog?
I think so.
All right let's see if we get stuck on the tag you stood it back up!
I feel like I've been reorganizing um uh.
Get me that orange sloth back there.
Okay.
Only four credits per play that's about half the price of the regular claws here see that
one's already laying down back there I have a good feeling about that one I mean I don't
have a good feeling about it but I do yeah sure you're at one second so oh my gosh.
It really launches it down so fast it's kind of hard to line up.
Yeah I kind of feel like that's the case here.
We had so much luck over by The Beast arcade we have to try um this 900 is kind of wedged
in there but there is a 600 right there I mean we'd be remiss if we didn't try right?
Because I don't think i can go all the way back to this far corner oh I kind of can but
it'd have to loop it on that one.
Yeah that would stress me out a little.
I mean I have to loop this one too but.
You have 20 seconds.
Yeah so I'm going to kind of go like aim yeah yeah that's kind of where I wanted to go let's
see if it picks it up it did will it hold it it did no way!
This is your luckiest ticket ring day ever.
Yeah!
Are you going to try it again?
Oh I got nine tickets well that's more than the six tickets we got at the other one so.
Are you is there?
Uh yeah I kinda wanna try that one in the back corner.
Okay.
I just want to see what happens.
You don't think you can get this 900 right it's too wedged in there?
It's way too wedged in there you might be able to pull it out within a few plays, okay
see I can see my claws now kind of like in the right way over there yeah you wanna gonna
go around the side see if you can see it?
Okay.
Oh!
What did it just like slip right through?
Yeah it like set it up there and at least we're leaving everything much more organized
today right?
Yeah that's it we're gonna stand everything up on its edge apparently.
Well we flipped over to the other side because there's the 900 not that one the one behind
it.
What?
There is kind of two right here so it looks like you were pointing to the front one so
I was just clarifying.
There's so many 900s I see at least seven nine hundreds we're gonna try this once once.
But the lady just restocked it.
Oh that was not good that was not good
One more time okay and then we'll go back over to see if she restocked it.
Yeah she did just restock it that people must be winning a lot of these which is great I
love when these are really winnable and they have a lot of 100s and 100 like isn't bad
y'all.
Right.
Okay let it let it settle all right oh that's gonna be a good grab on it.
Do you see that?
It like switched grabs mid grabs.
So that that actually commits to our theory of I'm still not sure which is better because
they're both working for us and literally fourth ring of the day.
It is our fourth ring of the day, third nine hundred it literally picked it up like that
and then flipped it and grabbed it like that.
So there's no rhyme or reason to this this makes no sense.
Nothing makes sense I don't understand the skill for you ticket claw but we keep winning
you so I love it.
She's restocked it and he's excited we got one we're only going to go for this one.
We're on a roll today literally a ticket roll.
Oh okay let's see that's gonna be like the same on the other side no.
Okay one more time and then that's it I don't want to waste too many too many credits on
here but we're having such good luck.
We are.
Okay I almost think we feel like tall enough that you could like start dragging them over.
Oh there's a 600 in the back, switching strategies.
I can come around we can see it.
There's Spencer hello.
Beautiful fifth ticket ring of the two, two 600s and three 900.
Oh my gosh look at you.
A Pusheen machine!
I told you guys.
Guys I'm gonna have to get a really tight shot here because there's a lot of people
around so um I'm sorry that it looks kind of zoomed in but that's where we're at okay
so you're going for this one which one?
I'm trying to figure out I don't know how this claw's gonna drop.
It's a big claw.
Yeah let's see what happens here if it falls into the chute we're toast, that one just
moved on its own okay.
Oh wait what?
Oh it caught on itself, what the heck.
Oh no.
Well that's not good.
I think you gotta go for this one in the middle, but if it catches on itself again I feel like
then I oh it won't because it stretches out.
Oh yeah see look it shouldn't do it again though, one more time for this one.
No it didn't have good strength let's try once for that one in the middle give it our
good three times uh.
This is the one he's going for here in the middle my hands are actually full of carnival
prizes so I can't point to it.
That's true.
That's the way the cookie crumbles today but I really want this Pusheen, why can't they
ever put these really cute things like in redemption like when I want them?
No.
Oh good you stood it up though for everyone.
That's what we're doing today.
Going for a redemption arc, going for the yellow fox?
Yeah we actually had enough credits for this to be our actual last play of the day.
Oh but there is a blue dog that's already knocked over.
Nah oh you're right I have to go for the blue dog.
Okay you gotta make a decision quickly this machine works fast.
But Spencer works faster, no you gonna go far enough forward to get this yellow one.
Man, these are really cute.
We've got a nice selection for the redemption area similar to some of the arcades you've
seen us play at and some nice uh oh wait that's really cute they drew on the message board
Happy 50th Kings Island love that I really like that they're supporting the Kings Island
anniversary in here I always think they do a good job of having some nice little you
know prizes that's cute I like it.
Now this is something cool we haven't seen before it's a branded prize for 3000 tickets
we have enough for this but it's really large and I don't I don't think we're gonna be able
to take it home with us but it's cool 50th Kings Island pillow so I love that option
for 3000 tickets a really cool branded souvenir prize.
Yay look at this I gotta bring it out to show you.
What'd you get?
We got four of these because we had over 4000 tickets look it has a like little fidget popper
is this not the cutest little thing it's like a toy and a bear and honestly I think if we
donated it and someone didn't want that that could just be cut right off so it's still
safe and everything I think that's great we also got a few uh little tiny unicorns and
little dragon I don't know we you know like little tickets left you just like throw it
all in at least that's how I do it so I actually think the uh new ownership made the claw machines
a little bit better I'm seeing people win around me um the arcade is super busy today
so I'm gonna call it a win for the arcade at Kings Island!
