  • Hi! Bob the Canadian here.

  • Let's learn English at the amusement park!

  • Well, hey, welcome to this video where I thought we would learn some English at the amusement park.

  • I'm here today at Canada's Wonderland one of the biggest amusement parks in Canada.

  • But, hey, if this is your first time here, don't forget to click the subscribe button

  • below and give me a thumbs up at some point during this video.

  • I'd really appreciate it.

  • Well let's go in, but I think before I do, I'm going to need to buy a ticket.

  • So when you go to an amusement park like Canada's Wonderland you need to buy a ticket.

  • Usually outside the park, the amusement park, you'll see that they have ticket booths and

  • the signs above say ticket sales.

  • So you would head over there and you would get yourself a ticket.

  • That's where I'm heading right now.

  • Well, I got my ticket.

  • I'm sorry, they wouldn't let me use my camera by the ticket booth, but we're ready to go in.

  • So there's quite a few people, so it looks like I'm going to have to wait in line to

  • get into the park.

  • So, I'm just gonna get in line over here.

  • So I'm getting closer, but I think they'll need to check my backpack just to make sure

  • I'm not bringing anything into the park that I shouldn't be.

  • Bob the Canadian never brings stuff into the park that he shouldn't bring into the park.

  • Looks like I'm next.

  • What do you need?

  • Yep. You bet.

  • There you go.

  • You need keys?

  • Pardon?

  • No problem.

  • Keys.

  • And that's it. Yeah.

  • Thank you very much.

  • There's not a whole lot in there.

  • Thank you very much. Have a good day.

  • You too!

  • Now I gotta give my ticket.

  • Hello, how are you?

  • Sorry I should have unfolded it for you.

  • That's ok, it's fine.

  • All set.

  • So this is called a turnstile, so we're gonna go through that next.

  • And we are in the park!

  • So we made it. We're in the park.

  • You can see behind me there is a fountain.

  • Here there's a flower bed, and in the distance you can see a really big mountain.

  • It's not actually a real mountain they built it there.

  • So welcome to Canada's Wonderland!

  • So this is a roller coaster.

  • You can see the people are getting pulled towards the top, and in a minute they're going

  • to come flying down.

  • So here they go.

  • They might scream a little bit.

  • We'll see.

  • We do go on these rides for fun by the way.

  • There they go! It's a fun time.

  • So I can't go on the ride with my camera, but this might help you get a sense of what

  • it would feel like.

  • So if you look way up there you'll see people who are starting to go down a really big roller coaster.

  • They're stopped right on the edge.

  • They're going to go any minute now.

  • I think they……

  • There they go!

  • So a classic ride at an amusement park is something called a merry-go-round, and you

  • can see one right here.

  • This is one of the oldest types of rides that you can find, and if you look you'll see that

  • you can sit on a horse and it goes around.

  • And apparently you're merry when you do it.

  • So it's called a merry-go-round.

  • By the way merry is an old word for happy.

  • But here's a merry-go-round.

  • So the ride behind me is not the kind of ride that I would go on.

  • It's a ride where you sit on a swing and it turns really, really fast.

  • I think they're gonna start the ride soon.

  • Oh, there they go!

  • So quite often an amusement park isn't just about the rides.

  • There's also beauty.

  • So here we have a flower bed behind us.

  • So it's just a nice place to go because it's not just for fun to go on rides, but also

  • just to see a lot of beauty.

  • There's lots of trees.

  • There's lots of flowers.

  • And of course there's lots of rides.

  • I'll let you watch these people go around a little bit.

  • I wonder what that feels like.

  • So one of the things I find interesting about Canada's Wonderland is there's no Ferris Wheel.

  • This giant wheel with seats is called a Ferris Wheel, and they're pretty fun.

  • They're the kind of ride Bob the Canadian likes to go on.

  • So amusement parks will also have games where you can pay money and try to win a prize.

  • So these are the prizes up here.

  • In this game you have to try and throw a ring, so they have rings here, you have to try and

  • throw a ring and you have to try and get it on one of those bottles.

  • So Rohan here has been kind enough to give me a ring to try, so I'm gonna see if I can

  • get it onto one of these bottles.

  • I'm going to toss the ring.

  • This is the ring. It's pretty small.

  • I missed. Thanks!

  • No problem! Take care!

  • Hey so this is a game called Whack-A-Mole.

  • What happens is these little guys pop up and then you have to use this to hit them back

  • down.

  • It's sounds pretty violent doesn't it?

  • But, I can't play right now because they need at least one other player.

  • Maybe I'll come back later.

  • So there's a, there's no one here but they have this game where you hit this with a hammer

  • and if you can make the weight fly up and hit the bell it means you're really strong.

  • I wanted to try it cause I, I actually think I'm pretty strong.

  • Maybe I'm not, but I still, I wish the guy was here so that I could try it out.

  • So a lot of times an amusement park will have an arcade.

  • An arcade is a place where there's lots of video games.

  • So if you look over here you'll see they have the video game Guitar Hero.

  • So it's a place where you can come just to play some video games.

  • Maybe if it's raining outside or the weather is bad.

  • So, this is an arcade.

  • So I'm not sure I would be able to do this ride.

  • There's a couple people way up there, and, uh, I'm not even sure if you can see them.

  • So I'm outside the park now.

  • I came outside the park to get a better shot of this roller coaster for you.

  • But because I left the park I had to get a stamp on my hand so I can get back in again

  • without paying.

  • So one of the most common rides at an amusement park is the roller coaster.

  • You can see these people are on their way up to the top and once they get to the very

  • edge, once they get to the brink, they're gonna go down really quickly.

  • Here they go.

  • And we're gonna watch them come by right here behind me as well.

  • You'll see them shooting around up there and in a moment…..

  • Here they come.

  • People like roller coasters!

  • So I have to be careful here because this is a water ride.

  • There's actually some people up there in a small boat and they're gonna come down in

  • a minute and it's gonna be a big splash.

  • I might have to jump….

  • There they go!

  • I didn't get wet.

  • They did though!

  • So here's another fountain.

  • If it was warmer today I would be tempted to jump in and swim.

  • You're not allowed to, but if it was warmer I'd be tempted.

  • And over there you see something that's quite common at an amusement park, and that is a

  • line.

  • You often spend time at an amusement park waiting in line.

  • All clear!

  • I think these people are getting ready to go.... for safety could we have you keep your

  • heads back, hold on tight, enjoy your ridekeep your heads back, hold on tight, and enjoy

  • your ride.

  • 3, 2, 1.

  • Would you go on this ride?

  • Tell, tell me in the comments below.

  • So this place behind me we would call a pavilion.

  • It's covered so you're out of the sun, and there's a stage over there for people to perform

  • on, maybe a band or another musical act.

  • You can also see there's seating behind me for an audience.

  • So this is called a pavilion, and there's usually one or two at an amusement park.

  • So another thing you can find at an amusement park is a gift shop.

  • So here's a gift shop where you can buy hats, you can buy shirts.

  • This is a nice shirt.

  • It says Canada on it.

  • And all kinds of other souvenirs.

  • So we also call this a souvenir shop.

  • So a gift shop or a souvenir shop, another thing you'll find at an amusement park.

  • So don't freak out!

  • This isn't a real moose, but it certainly looks kind of like one.

  • So there you go, one of the animals that lives in Canada is called a moose.

  • Once again, don't freak out, that means... kind of get scared, but this is not a real

  • bear.

  • He's quite a bit taller than Bob the Canadian.

  • Here, have a look.

  • So I know I'm going to be in the sun all day, so I'm gonna stop for a minute and put on

  • some suntan lotion.

  • Suntan lotion protects your skin from the sun.

  • So I feel like I came to the park too early in the season.

  • Right here you can see that they have a diving show where divers dive off of the top of this

  • mountain, at the top of this waterfall into the water below.

  • That would have been really cool to see.

  • Maybe you should come to the park yourself to see it!

  • So at an amusement park you'll also find concession stands.

  • A concession stand is a place where they sell food because people usually spend the whole

  • day here and they don't usually bring food with them.

  • So here we have some chicken and some beaver tails, which is a kind of deep fried dough.

  • So have you ever had poutine?

  • This is a poutinerie behind me, it's a place where you can buy poutine.

  • It's french fries with gravy and cheese.

  • I'll find a picture and I'll put it right here.

  • It's really yummy, and it's a Canadian treat.

  • So I'm not sure if you watched the lesson from last Friday, but I talked about vehicles

  • and behind me you can see a food truck.

  • If you haven't watched that video yet, I'll put a link up here for you guys.

  • And of course they always have washrooms at these kinds of places.

  • Whenever you go to a public place you're sure to find a place to go to the washroom, or

  • the bathroom, or the restroom, whatever name you use.

  • So I'm not sure if you can see this, but there are some really, really big goldfish down there

  • that live at the park.

  • So some parks even have go-karts.

  • If you watched the lesson on vehicles you'll know what a go-kart is.

  • So you can see that you can come and drive a little go-kart and pretend you're a race

  • car driver.

  • So most amusement parks will also have a special part of the park just for really little kids

  • where all the rides are smaller so that little kids can enjoy them as well.

  • So you can see here we have just a little merry-go-round just for kids.

  • They need to have fun too!

  • Well, hey, that was a little bit of a look at an amusement park.

  • I hope you were able to learn a little bit of English along the way.

  • Bob the Canadian here, thank you so much for watching.
