Amusement Park Trade Show! IAAPA 2023 - Lots of Fun! Brand New Theme Park Rides! Animatronics!

[@lisapratt166]

A park filled with just dark rides would be cool

[@lisapratt166]

@enzodiscoverymoonlight not for people like me. :) and people who are bodily impaired and cannot do roller coasters etc.

[@the13throse]

I'd love to see how creative they could get, having to make each one with a different theme! I love me a good roller coaster or other thrill ride, but I go on dark rides for the set design and the creativity, something you don't get as much of on thrill rides because you're moving too fast to really take in any details (shout out to those rare thrill rides out there that mix in dark ride elements and the ones that have really detailed and immersive queues! Verbolten at Busch Gardens Williamsburg has become a recent favorite of mine for that!)

[@lisapratt166]

@@the13throse yes. It would be allot of fun and they could do longer rides in a dark ride park and even build them with a little thrill built into them.

[@Getagriparcade1]

We were so excited to meet you real quick yesterday. My boyfriend was geeking out. You are a celebrity to us. Thanks for letting him get a selfie with you!

[@PKScales]

Awesome to see you in my booth for a moment!! I was lead fabricator on the L3DFX booth :)

[@ladywolfbane02]

Oh man! Eddie was there?!?! Yes, I'm an Iron Maiden geek & proud of it. This is a very cool vlog indeed💜🤘💜

[@GWASHINGTON_1776]

Less goooo iron maiden

[@dannyberkebile5952]

Honestly I love watching Jacob I’m just happy to see him live his best lift getting to do all these things and go all these places ❤❤❤

[@blacklacelolita]

19:37 this is a version of eddie, the "mascot" for iron maiden! such an icon, amongst the others on display at this convention. always love your IAAPA videos and i'm glad you've been able to go the last few years!

[@dazedandenthused8559]

Oh jeez, you laughing at “poop fart” is so wholesome!!!

[@ericacavazos7119]

YES please do more then one day in IAAP I loved the video I could of watched a 2 hour video 😊

[@paulfuryes203]

Great video Jacob Lotta cool stuff take care of my friend and safe travels.

[@David_Bellamy-Bise]

This is awesome. I had no idea the amount of non-coaster company booths that were available. I follow ACE and their coverage and they never post anything that isn’t coaster related. I couldn’t figure out why I’d travel all that way just to look at new coaster trains. Thank you for showing all that IAAPA has to showcase!

[@lizlocher3612]

You got the Barbie Makeup play pack from your nemesis, the "CLAW" Machine!!! Attaboy, Carpetbagger!!!

[@DebHoeft]

I'm so happy for you. This industry that creates, they need a person like you to promote and critique their rides. Keep up the great work.

[@MissouriPenny]

Fun future of games and things ,.thanks for taking us along .😊thiss was surprisingly amazing fun 😊❤😊

[@AnnetteBergersen-to9zf]

Aww! I love the seagull plushie with a piece of French fry in its mouth!! 🥰 I’d totally buy that

[@alanlough638]

I really enjoyed this video on the amusement park trade show. 👍👍👍👍

[@TheCoasterLisa]

I like your take on IAAPA as you show things that many others might not record especially if it’s not thrill ride or food related. And thanks for showing some love for ACE. I’ve been a member for 25 years & have been to IAAPA once back in 2011. Since then much has changed in the amusement entertainment industry with the cool advancement of technology.

[@DDring]

SO AWESOME! Never heard of this and definitely going next year! Thank you for sharing!

[@MrMakoFL]

Man if I seen you around I would have said hi. Was there yesterday and today.

[@brrrrharrr]

[@danballard7405]

Hi Carpetbagger! That prehistoric fish that was next to the allosaurus is called a Dunkleosteus.

[@FreshOJ21]

One of my favourite Shows you go to every year, always a blast.

[@Thecorgially]

This event is a good one. Thumbs up.

[@robylove9190]

Zoltar talked to you in person! How awesome ❣️

[@MaleM3dia]

I see the corner of my forehead in the video as I sat behind you on the Twist-N-Shout. 😄 I heard your giggle and then heard you narrating. It was nice meeting you!

[@deanonessimo4052]

35:55 I see they have this Dunkleosteus maquette Billings Productions is planning to make in the near future.

[@Jtownqueenofhalloween]

Eddie the mascot for Iron Maiden 🤘🏻

[@fell952]

[@saratf]

I screamed like a fan when I heard Zoltar, hahaha!

[@bearbeartime7082]

U derevse. Everything you all my 100%. Respect your so amazing. Truly the best from my heart. Friend

[@mikehughes4969]

It was nice of Zoltar to acknowledge your contribution to his success. "I couldn't have done it without you." That hit deep.🥹

[@mikehughes4969]

@DevinsWorld112 I think it was the guy from the shop that makes them. Jacob has been to the shop and knows him. A nice little tip of the hat, anyway.

[@lifetoast]

why is this making me tear up

[@unicorn063]

Way cool Jacob don’t forget 2 full days of Iapa next year ❤❤❤❤❤

[@mariehendrick7173]

[@BlackburnBigdragon]

Man. I would absolutely LOVE to be let loose at IAAPA. I'm obsessed with flat rides and games. This place is absolutely my jam. But sadly, I can never afford to travel there. I have to live vicariously through your videos.

[@LoveWinterMaineWoods]

Thanks for the tour Jacob, that was awesome!

[@lissachocolate]

2 days next year! So much to see! Great video, enjoyed it so much! So cool that the creators watch your videos!!

[@dragonosx]

This is one of the coolest events you go to, really appreciate getting to see these exhibits. Of course I loved all the dino and dragon stuff.

[@robertyoung7962]

Super awesome video Jacob🎉

[@rachel_espinoza]

I love the quirky places and events you go to on your channel. It’s like Tim Burton vibes and I am so here for that. Every new video is a new travel adventure

[@marybishop8979]

Just watched...Was excited to see new "Fire in the Hole" ride vehicle! I'm flying from CA tomorrow for a last ride on the original! Thank you for talking about SDC!

[@lizlocher3612]

The resurrection of records, the first n best firm if listening to music 🎶 in a ride is awesome. The best ALWAYS returns!!!

Singing reindeer, penguins AND an owl animatronics, super cute 🦌 🐧 🦉

It was good seeing you yesterday at IAAPA after seeing you at Cedar Point a little over a month ago.

[@lizlocher3612]

Your Dinauticus distinction has redeemed you with me!!! Loved the car ride that bounced n sitting in the Ice Throne!!!

[@dylanbooth4018]

Awesome Jacob I can’t wait to see you go back to Los Vegas to ride that Sponge Bob ride at Circus Circus 👍

I would love to see you ride Top Thrill 2. Another cool video. Thank you Jacob.

[@nurseydebdeb8539]

OmG, Chance amusements is here in Wichita Kansas. That train is in Sedgwick County KS where Wichita is. We have had that electric train for year its been a great addition to our zoo. So when you ever make it to the State Fair spend a day there in Hutch, then next day go to the cosmophere, then stratica. Then day 3 you can check out our great zoo. Then I was excited when you mentioned Worlds of Fun, that has always been a great park. I love this convention so fun!!!

[@donnytucker]

Thank you for an hour video of IAAPA! Such a cool event.

[@ednaeverhart4398]

I love your blog and

[@mikaylabaird1914]

Wooo! 🫧 Bubble 🫧party!! Lol

[@ValhallaKnight2]

I learnd that the claw games can have the claw loose or tight. There's a washer that you turn inside that makes it easy or harder to grab items.

[@lizlocher3612]

Love the "speakeasy shooting gallery"!! VERY creative n funny n interesting- cement shoes, stool pigeon hidden alcohol vault, jazz sign apt balcony's, REALLY cool!!! The Treasure Hunt ride looks awesome as well!!

[@madebykemo]

I look forward to the IAAPA videos every year

[@Hedgegoat]

So you haven't been to Worlds Of Fun in Kansas City? Please come. I recommend next year so you can attend the Kansas State Fair. Plus there is a Marble store, a carousel museum and catacombs under our town that you can tour.

[@dannymartin1114]

You need that Red Lobster sweater. As a long time viewer I remember when Red Lobster was an important part of the channel.

[@allenpedrick6502]

Very cool video.

[@brianking973]

Jacob needs the Fog device for Christmas. That would make some funny videos

[@stephenrowan8128]

@26:15 I just rode (Sesame) Street Mission at PortAdventura near Barcelona, Spain on Saturday -- the whole ride building smells like chocolate chip cookies!

[@mikaylabaird1914]

My goodness! I haven’t seen a Zoltar animatronic for a long time. Idelwild park used to have one beside general store. Now it’s replaced by a ATM machine.

[@izaakz12]

Looks amazing 😊

[@dolfanatic314]

When I was 10 we went to a carnival celebrating the 4th of July. There was one operator for two rides. I got on the Spider ride I was alone. The guy did not come back for 15 minutes. I have never thrown up that much ever. At least the cars were not spraying you with water.

[@bg199083]

“Hello, I like money”- Mr. Krabs. Great to see upcoming dark rides and roller coasters that are coming next year. 😊

[@randygyulay5114]

Now that was BIG fun.

[@pierrelewis6819]

That was a pretty good show, I like that they are big 3D printers all because, you can shift them to other places around, for example, Japan, they can 3D print their Japanese encrypteds.

[@attitudeeraglamazon9480]

Such an awesome experience. Thanks for taking us with you.

[@Norweeg]

30:43 Wichita, Kansas

[@Darth_Jy]

This looks like it would be soooooooo fun! I want to get on the VR monster truck!

[@kittyplays2324]

If you want to go on a real monster truck, go to diggers dungeon in North Carolina, it's fun

[@colleenochs4728]

Such a cool expo . Never knew there was anything like that

[@syedhamidi5643]

Thank You Jacob for the video ❤ i feel like i in an actual expo 🤯 lot of effort to condensed 7 hours experience into 1 hour video. You're the best 👌 Also don't forget to subscribe to his channel guys ❤

[@Chrisssy2112]

Love me an expo! The 3D printer is impressive 👍

[@stevegoodwin4914]

I love animatronics

[@asherpedley6788]

Come to chicago pinball expo next year 4:48
