You really got my attention.Such a great story about the logs n the lake tho. Sperry Fountian PART II. “I distinctively smell weed” hahahaha A Judge Huh? Beautiful shots in this one. DT is gorgoes. I’ve never been. I’ve really really enjoyed these last two man, but I love them all dude. Much Ahead man

[@SuperEnthused]

Splorin Ryan I was gunna ask who did the voiceover, LOVE IT!!!!

[@SplorinRyan]

@@SuperEnthused thanks! That was me throwing the phone in the backseat to give it the distant hollow sound.

[@Ashley-kd2su]

Another unique informative and great vlog. That dancing Carlton was really distracting.....I like it 😂

[@SplorinRyan]

Well, it's like they say, if you can't beat them, distract them.

[@Ashley-kd2su]

@@SplorinRyan haha it's great

[@NOLADEEJ]

Also, loved the video! Something I never knew about that place! You’re nailing these, brother!

[@SplorinRyan]

Kid you not, you've been one of my biggest influences with these.

[@TheTouristTrap]

Very good Ryan. Great stories, info and shots around the park. Great job.

[@NOLADEEJ]

I always thought the name came from someone watching the card game where the Millenium Falcon was won... that person asked, “wait, who won? Han or Lando?”...

[@retrospectrum]

Love adventures that offer some learning as well!

[@onlocationwithscott]

Thanks for the story of Orlando....very cool....I hit the big red button and that little bell too! 👍

[@SplorinRyan]

Very much appreciated- I did the same!

[@onlocationwithscott]

Ditto, appreciated here too!

[@TheJonathanleamy]

Thanks for the history lesson!

[@SuperEnthused]

Oh my gosh I won’t spoil it for those who haven’t watched but what a cool payoff for why Orlando was named Orlando!!!!! Loved it, well done again my friend! Doing these history vlogs is such a rewarding feeling and I love seeing my friends take them on and nail them!! Hit the bell, make that beautiful music, y’all!!!!

[@truthseekeratheist9105]

I walked around the winding pathways and gardens of Lake Eola Park as a small child in the late 50s and 60s. Haven’t been there in decades.

[@SplorinRyan]

it's still wet ;)

[@GregsVlog]

Probably your best video yet... Also, any coincidence that the newspaper is the Orlando Sentinel? Hmmm...

[@SplorinRyan]

You caught it! Therefore brother, that means a lot!

[@KrazyJoesConcessionStand]

I read the Chicago Chronicle, myself....

[@ItsJoeysworld]

Ya know, those "Older History Film reels", used to put me the sleep in school, but yours were really entertaining. Was wondering how you were gonna work around the Disco music. Well done!

[@SplorinRyan]

I waited quite a while for them to go away and finally gave up ;)

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Wow, bunch of good info sir, extremely informative video for sure!! Ya have a new subscriber from east central Mississippi here!! Dan

[@SplorinRyan]

Very much appreciated sir! How'd you come out of Michael?

[@MarkFunJones]

Outside of the box splorin 😎

[@earlleegrace3318]

I spoke with the Orlando Historical Society. They said for you to "knock it off" or you'll be "splorin the bottom of Lake Ryan". lol

[@SplorinRyan]

If the two yahoos blasting disco as they rode around the park on a tandem bike didn't get tossed in the lake, then I should be good to go ;)

[@earlleegrace3318]

You incorporated it into the vlog masterfully. Hardly noticed.

[@SplorinRyan]

+Earl lee Grace lol, thank you!

[@Nancy-iv1yj]

Thanks Ryan

[@KrazyJoesConcessionStand]

05:20 HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! (I LOVE IT!)

[@ChristheShrinerdawg]

I never even thought about where the name of Orlando came from. I’ve wondered that.

[@KrazyJoesConcessionStand]

you know, even when I lived in Winter Park, I don't think I'd ever been to Eola Park

[@KrazyJoesConcessionStand]

By the way...got my Splorin shirt yesterday ;)

[@SplorinRyan]

Thank you sir!

[@jayeroxburgh922]

New career as a History teacher?

[@SplorinRyan]

Not in this state, most of the teachers in the state are trying not to be teachers this state

[@jayeroxburgh922]

That does not sound good!

[@SplorinRyan]

+Jaye Roxburgh LOL, we'll chat when you're here

[@jayeroxburgh922]

Looking forward to it x

[@mistyvideotaped]

Orlando was named for time-traveler Orlando Bloom 😛 also, whose ashes are in those urns around Sperry Fountain? 😂 I was born and raised in Orlando and I lean towards the Shakespeare theory especially because of Rosalind Ave. Great video 👍🏻

[@SplorinRyan]

Orlando bloom....is...what... makes...time travel...possible!

[@annasamanthahazel]

I love Lake Eola Park. I just wish they would stop with the piped in music. The ambient sounds of the park are so peaceful without it.

[@SplorinRyan]

I just figured it's kind of like when people leave the radio on for their dogs when they leave the house. I just assumed it was the keep the swans from wrecking the place while the ranger ran out to Arby's.

[@maryc2971]

70s porn music

[@taylorhill4518]

Lol everyone goes there to smoke weed while downtown
