      @@ThisIsWheelLife In the low resolution version I thought he was flipping off the camera as well, but in the HIGH resolution version of the video, I can see he's holding the Buddhist hand gesture "Vitarka Mutra" which is what folks sometimes use in the LOTUS position. He also has a shirt wrapped around his head like a turban, so he's either a Buddha incarnation or a Yogi from India. Either way, he's hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!

    "Painting the Roses Red" is a song featured in Disney's 1951 animated feature film, Alice in Wonderland, sung by the Queen of Hearts' card soldiers (specifically the Ace, Two, and Three of Clubs) when Alice first enters the garden. The cards try to explain to Alice that they are painting the roses red because the Queen likes those and they planted white ones by mistake. Unfortunately for them, the Queen catches on to their ruse due to a single poorly painted rose, and has them beheaded anyway

    • @Lderuddere

      He only showed the "enchanted forest" part, most guests now go for the "water safari" part. It's extremely popular with people in central NY, I've even heard their ads on the radio in the Albany area and in western Massachusetts. There are also a lot of people who vacation in the Adirondacks for the summer. They only operate in the summer, and most staff are high school or college kids.

    At least in the Disney version (I've actually never read the original story), the cards were painting the roses red because they'd accidentally planted white roses, but the Queen of Hearts prefers her roses red. So out of fear that she would have them beheaded for planting the wrong color, they tried to paint them red, but got caught in the act.

  • @michaelkingon7154
    @michaelkingon7154 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I used to go to camp up near there and every year, the camp would treat us to the Enchanted Forest which I've not been in years! It's full of magic and fantasy. You almost could say that it's like a Junior Disney world or Junior Disneyland! Especially near the pumpkin and Paul Bunyan sculpture.

  • @catalot
    @catalot 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you for this. I have very old memories of Enchanted Forest from when I was 4 (1957). I'm happy to see that Paul Bunyon is still there and the storybook houses- those I remember, although faintly. Most of the rest I don't.
    It seems to me that there was a Babe the blue ox. Memories are tricky things. I might be wrong. One other thing- the colors seem brighter somehow, as though color was added or the intensity has been dialed up. But all in all, this has been a little trip to the past for me. Thanks.

    Absolutely loved this Enchanted Forest. Awesome lots of old characters. The best for me was the Cinderella pumpkin coach and the big Easter egg with the fringed paint. Cool. Oh yes and Alababa and the forty thieves. We had that in the Enchanted Forest Maryland USA ELLICOTT CITY way back in the 70's was a ride with big display in a cave. A lot of the storybook characters and houses and castle from our Enchanted Forest are now just moved a bit down the road to Clark's Farm on route 108 in Ellicott City Maryland USA. You should try to visit in the spring or early fall. They restored many of the items and it is awesome. Love you. You seriously make my day and bring back my childhood. Thanks. Peace and be safe. Old Enchanted Forest was on route 40 Baltimore National Pike Ellicott City Maryland. Now some of the things are restored and moved to Clark's Farm on route 108 in Ellicott City Maryland only a few minutes down the road. Nice bed and breakfast across the street you and your family could stay at for a night. Never been but heard it is nice. Take care.😊🐀🐀🐀 I have been to the farm it is wonderful but not the bed and breakfast across the street.

    I had to look up the meaning behind Mary, Mary Quite Contrary. Apparently the rhyme might be a reference to Queen Bloody Mary of England and the conflict between Catholics and Protestants, with the maids perhaps being a reference to the execution of Lady Jane Grey, the mass executions of Protestants - or to Mary's false pregnancies. That's very dark for a children's rhyme.
