Good evening, guys from another video here in Basra,
Iraq. And in today's video guys, we're actually going to be checking out this
theme park. It's probably kind of noisy behind me because as you can see, we've
got a theme park, we've got cotton candy, we've got popcorn, we've got spiny
sunflower seeds, a lot going on. So here with Luke, the man here. We're gonna be
doing some exploration of this theme park. We're gonna go, see if we can hop
inside, and get in. It says, it's a family theme park, so we'll see if we
can call ourselves brothers, and get in. Yeah we're brothers now. Salaam Alaikum [Peace be upon you]
Just families. Oh really?
We are family. Yeah brothers.
What if we find a family, and we join with them?
Two thousand.
Special exception.
So, we are allowed? And on the rides?
Shukran Habibi
I don't know how much of that you guys could hear but at first they were
not letting us in, and then all of a sudden, it just changed
when they said do you want to take a photo.
Because I don't know, if you heard the part about the family but basically it's
only a family park. But then the funny part is, when we were just walking in,
there was two buddies just walking out on their own so who knows, what that means.
After saying we wanted to take a photo, they let us in, two thousand.
That was so bizarre. Mind if I get a cotton candy? Salaam Alaikum [Peace be upon you]
Cotton candy. Yeah. Oh, I want a [Foreign word] cotton candy, please.
Shukran [Thank you] Alright, there's a tip for you too.
So, let's try this cotton candy here, you can't come to a theme park without
having cotton candy. To be honest, the last couple theme parks I went to, I
didn't have cotton candy, so I felt overdue. Let's just dig right in this
thing. Oh there's probably a stick somewhere.
I was bit right into that, and then I saw that thing. So, I’m gonna go from the side here.
That’s the crazy thing, no matter where I’ve had cotton candy anywhere in the
world, it always tastes identical because all it is-- is just sugar that's like spun
around right but it's dank. That’s not bad bro, you want something?
Yeah I might have to grab a shaky a little bit.
Oh man. Never gets old. Exactly. The 21 year old.
So good. It's always so good. Since we made in this theme park, we got at least
get on some sort of ride. Luke pointed out these swings over here, and they are
flying though, safety rating probably one point five out of ten.
I have read 1.5 out of 10 people don't make it alive.
That’s right. It's not bad that means we have a 8.5 out of 10 chance to survive it.
Alright, no idea what anything says on
the menu here but it's all one to two thousand.
Alright, I got the ticket Mac. Alright, was it four thousand?
Two thousand each. Today's-- Two thousand. Sold that out.
Oh yeah, it's our time to hop on, yallah. Alright, we're about to yallah onto this
thing. It's gonna be pretty wild.
Alright, here we go. This is gonna be a fun ride.
Let’s-- hopefully they don't start it like when we're in Slemani before we sit down.
Come closer. Yeah, alright. --next to me.
Alright, green? Yeah. Well, let's get this thing locked up
before they start it. I feel like the buzzer is going. Come on, come on. There we
go because this thing goes fast I saw. Oh here we go, full speed ahead. Don't think
that cotton candy was a good idea to eat before this but yallah,
no turning back now. This is just such a funny example, I said
this in Slemani too but it's like in the US, you'd never be allowed to
bring your backpack or a camera. Here it's like, oh no problem, have fun
use it at your own risk. Oh, we got music.
Full speed ahead.
Look at this.
We have to have going around like 500 times by now.
Well guys, the GoPro, I don't know what's going on with GoPro hero 10, but honestly
probably one out of like 15 times that I record something it like records for one
second, and then stops. Maybe it's user error but it's happened
a few too many times. So hopefully, I can convince Luke to give
me a few seconds of me in it but it was crazy, I can't believe it did that to me
but in any event though, I could probably get
some footage from Luke. Yeah, that was crazy.
That was like three minutes too long. More tickets brother-- Bumper cars.
Two thousand for adult rides. Ah, the big ride two thousand, eh?
Good price then.
Crazy dance. Crazy dance.
Why don't we get? Alright, let's get two more tickets. Let's get two more sets of
tickets please. We’re gonna take that from our man's
recommendation, that means it's gonna be good.
Oh yeah, and Australia you guys call him dodge car. Yeah dodgem cars.
I’m gonna have to get my dodgem car setup, all set up.
There’s no seat belts on these ones. There we go, we dodge them already.
Oh I think, our guy went on a quick smoke break, so
we're just hanging out, I thought it was funny because while they were just
doing the bumper cars, all of a sudden the guy just rips the cig walks away
just like oh if anything happens no problem.
Shukran [Thank you]
I’m taking this one.
Oh alright, here we go dodgem car.
Yeah me too. This is gonna be some serious whiplash, there's literally no
seat belts on this thing guys, and I feel like this guy's gonna be coming after us.
Alright, we're gonna get Luke already. Dodge him.
How do you go in reverse?
There it is.
This is fun.
Oh you're broke. These kids aimed me off.
Very nice. Oh, serious whiplash after that one.
Here’s the next victim, we've got here which is the Ferris wheel. This one looks
pretty chill. The last time Luke, and I went on a Ferris wheel together was in
Luna park in Lebanon, and we were spinning that thing, and then after
people were telling us like it broke off before. This one's much more relaxed, it looks like.
Salaam Alaikum [Peace be upon you]
Number 17 is us.
Oh you can get a four pack of people in here.
Shukran my friend. Alright,
it's a nice slow moving pace, good views of the city.
Oh yeah, it's starting to make some dodgy noises on the dodgy Ferris wheel.
Imagine this thing just like broke off right now.
Right now, it'd be fine. Maybe we'd break a couple bones but up
the top there, that's when things would get
a little bit more severe. Why is it making so much noise that I
don't like the sound of. Maybe there's a reason why the guy
didn't recommend us the Ferris wheel, actually that one down there looks wild.
I think, it like spins you in circles. Oh you're spinning
around like the diameter of the circle while spinning in the circle chairs, that
looks crazy. Best views of Basra out here.
Salaam [Peace be upon you] Oh, we can see in the distance there,
we’ve got a mosque, a lot of traffic, traffic's picking up tonight. Once you
get up to the top, it just like starts creaking so much.
And like, I like to do stupid things. But this is just one of those things
that's out of your control. Yeah now, it's a long way down
but to be fair, these screws look pretty tight in there. You can see the whole
theme park, it's actually not as big as it looks when you walk in but it's a
cool layout. They actually have a really nice entryway right in like that super
modern bridge. And over here,
it's like well-lit, looks nice. Luke's over here tweaking it out.
Yeah I don't like it at all. I am just trying not to think about it. I am thinking about it a lot.
Although to be fair, this is nowhere near as dodgy as Lebanon.
Spinning full speed ahead. If we have the spinning one like we did in Lebanon,
no there's no way. Not a chance, not a chance. Seems like
that one's a pretty fun ride down there too though.
They were spinning pretty quick on that-- that one, the rest seemed like kind of
like kids-- kids ride. You got the slower moving ones down there. You got
the carousel. Oh is that what it's called Merry-go-round? No, carousel. Been too long
since I was a theme park experts but if it's anything like the last rides, we're
gonna be going a couple rounds.
Yeah, yeah. Actually it's quite easy, you can just
open this door, there's no like safety lock on it.
We could literally open it right now. Jump through the window if you want.
Yeah. Oh yep, they're letting people out after
one round, even though he was getting out anyways.
Yeah all you do is pop the lever up, and you're good, it tweaks me out to keep any
limbs outside of the thing. You never know, what's gonna get
caught in between some metal. Salam [Peace be upon you]. We have returned.
Letting us out of jail.
Oh, hit my head on that. Ow.
Just a couple banged up bruises on my head but that's-- that's about it.
Alright, what's next in this crazy Basra theme park?
Popcorn. I was just thinking. Yeah, there's the popcorn right there.
That’s where the good smells are. And
Popcorn? Hey, delicious popcorn.
Oh shukran [Thank you]
Let’s try it out.
Salty and delicious. Another thing, popcorn cotton candy no
matter where you're at, in the world it tastes identical.
That’s nice, that's good stuff. I think we
need a couple mais [Water].Yeah
Salam Alaikum [Peace be upon you]
Do you want anything else? With some water? Alright, we'll get a
mai [Water] and then, I might as well stay on healthy, and get
another-- get a coca-cola too. We’ll do one of those, and one of those, habibi.
How much?
Good price. Shukran [Thank you] Habibi.
You wanna know what's crazy to get a beverage like that at the theme
park that I used to go to called Six Flags Great America, in the US for a
drink. It's between like five to seven dollars for us to get both of these. It
was one dollar actually probably less than that.
It was like 90 cents, that collectively
would have been 12, 13, 14 dollars. I can't remember the exact price but something outrageous.
Basra is zane [Beautiful]
Salam Alaikum [Peace be upon you] Kifak [How are you?]
So many people have been doing that like two times I don't know what it means.
Someone drop a comment below what that hand gesture means.
America, yeah.
[Foreign language] when-- when did I come? Three weeks ago.
Oh yeah, it's a lot of fun.
Someone’s gotta translate if I’m answering these questions correctly,
Always wants money, money that means money.
You want money. You need flues to play. Hold that.
No? To the bumper cars.
Oh, you guys- you guys want American flues dont yah?
Iraqi police.
Thank you. Ali the man. Nice to meet you.
Yeah he told me that he actually saw some of my YouTube videos already. So
that's pretty cool, the ones I made already,
when I showed him my YouTube channel, oh I’ve seen them.
So it's pretty cool. Alright,
we're getting a bunch of new subs here.
YouTube Oh
Bye, bye. Bye, bye, bye, goodbye.
Yeah what are you gonna do? Luke's a nice
guy. He went over there, got them all cotton candy, and none of them wanted it.
Alright, guys this is where we're gonna finish up the theme park video, was a fun
time, I will say no matter how old I get I always enjoy visiting a good old theme
park, met some really nice people here, went on some fun rides. Fortunately--
Unfortunately, I lost a little bit of the footage because this thing overheats
that's what I figured out the issue was. As always, thanks so much for watching if
you want to see more videos both here in Basra as well as all around the world,
