TRANSCRIPTS

-Hi and welcome to the first episode of gone with the Win. Next...

-Hi and welcome to the first episode of gone with the Win. Next to me Win McMurry, sorry for the chasing there, but welcome to the beautiful town of Orlando Florida. If you're in town for PGA Merchandize Show, which is located behind me here at the Orange County Convention center, we like to say welcome to town. There is definitely a plethora of things to keep you occupied inside the convention center, but right outside the doors here on international drive, there are certainly a lot to do as well. [unk] . So, here at I Fly Orlando and they do endorse sky diving here. I have never actually sky dived anywhere, but here you actually can get in this wind tunnel around the corner with winds of up to 135 miles per hour. That's hurricane force wind. They actually suction you up to the top, but people fly from the youngest as age 3 all they way up to 91 years old as the oldest person has ever flown here. So, like me, you can do it to. That was one, little dizzy now [unk] -As you make your way down international drive, there is no way you can miss this building behind me, Wonder Works Orlando. Legend has it that professor Wonder was working on harnessing the power of a tornado in his laboratory down in the Bermuda Triangle, but the power was unleashed and the building flew thousands of miles way and landed upside down right here on international drive, but all the fun experiments remain inside. 3500 males in [unk]. At least, they gave us a pillow, right? Kind of feels like a massage. -Open a bit. -All those years of piano lesions and I can't do anything and blow giant bubbles, oh my God. We're inside the Wonder Works Building, but we actually can ride a roller coaster indoors here, and it's just right here in this little pod, and what make it so cool is you can actually design your own roller coaster ride and then ride it yourself 360 degree. Here we are at Magical Midway, which is one of the most thrilling attractions on I-Drive. They have a swing ride, which is one of the tallest that I have ever seen. They also have a human slingshot and go cart rides and even an arcade. Let's go and check it out. So, for the past 10 years here at Magical Midway, one of the largest attractions is the slingshot. It's the tallest slingshot in the world. I can shot up to over 390 feet and on the way up, you can catch 5 to 6 jeans. How about that? Luckily, they have a slingshot that's a little more my speed. In this rides just like a golf course. Nice view from here, but I just got that, alright. So, that was quite a fun ride. And we're back in the driveway or the [unk]. It's been a while fun day here on international drive, but this adrenalin junkie has now found an extreme way to chill out here at ice bar. Alright, I thought that I dress for the occasion, but it looks like there are some other jackets that are little more substantial that I might like to try on. It's nice, nice and warm. Now, that I'm dressed for the occasion, I'm gonna straight for the main attraction. So how do you like this a cool 19 degrees Fahrenheit as I walk in to the ice bar. That's a welcoming sign. So, we're inside the Nation's largest permanent bar made all of ice. The only things not made of ice inside here are the floor, the ceiling, and the bar tender. This place is made of 50 tons of sculpted ice. They had ice sculptures, artist coming here and cut and lay each of these bricks of ice, create each of the tables that you see here, and the sculptures that are beautifully decorating the ice bar, sitting upon the throne here in the ice bar. Check out this glass, completely made out of ice. You know, a lot of restaurants say they serve drinks on the rocks. I guess you guys actually serve in the rocks, cheers. Burn, no warm up on the fire lounge. So, much more warmer out here now. And I here they have a signature drink. Is that right is that called the Tsunami? -Yes, the Tsunami. -I'll have one of those please. Thank you. -You're welcome. -Look at that. It can warm my hands with this drink, right? So, here's your day at Thrills and Chills on International Drive, so good.
