Ankeesta - Rail Runner Mountain Coaster and Collapsed Tree Bridge

[@cutie12598]

"are you The Carpet Bagger!?" I felt that so much lol

[@cybershinigami9907]

I would love to meet him. He is so wholesome and charming. He has that unique style that makes you want to be friends.

[@KaiKitts_Media]

I couldn’t believe I saw you while I was there, it was nice meeting you! I was the Long hair blonde guy with the bowling shirt on just before you started filming. Thanks for the videos!

[@th1sd1dnthapp3n]

Jacob is just so whimsical, I love watching his videos cause he's chill but still so entertaining.

[@kayclapp8639]

I think it's so cool when people recognize you. You are a celebrity, Jacob!

[@redcoatsusa]

Your wife climbed a rock wall and jumped backwards into a moving chairlift. Wow she’s athletic!!!

[@jimrossi7708]

Glad you are showing people how to go out and support the economy and have fun plus how to stay safe ! Good job Carpetbagger 👍🏼 Plus I watched the whole video before making a comment !! (That was for those who comment before watching)

[@AH-rl9ev]

They should take it up a notch and add a worker dressed as Bigfoot walking around in the forest below the bridge....😁

[@Lily-we3xo]

they actually had a series on their instagram page where someone dressed as bigfoot and roamed the place!

[@carrollmurphy2289]

Thank you Jacob for this video. We are coming to Gatlinburg in a few weeks and this is on our list to see.

[@fortislander1980]

I did one of these in Haiti while on a cruise, looped down around the mountain, had amazing views of the ocean...sooooo awesome!

[@micmagellan5689]

I love the fact you never shy away from facing your fears. That was quite steep and AWESOME!!!

[@thewugglyump8045]

Well, I don't even have kids and that story about your daughter and the chair lift freaked me out. Glad it had a happy ending.

[@sergioalvarez4549]

This looks super fun. Maybe it’s cause I’m from CA, but I’m shocked that this place is open. I know the south doesn’t have such strict rules like us. But to have so many people in those Gondolas and the fact that the rail has hand controls doesn’t seem sanitary and safe to me at the moment. On top of that the playgrounds and kids areas are completely free for use. Crazy how they just opened up like nothing over there. I didn’t see many people with masks either. I mean I know they have signs and 6 foot markers but I’m just surprised. I’m glad you’re still being safe and wearing a mask/sanitizing when necessary to do so! Thanks for the great content Jacob!

[@carolynfoster1541]

I'm shocked. You are seeing the opening of a virus hot spot. I want everyone not wearing a mask to sign a release saying that they will pay 100% of their hospitalization costs WHEN they come down with COVID-19.Next we see these people, it's a sad day at Grandma's funeral after you sneeze your virus into her face. I won't watch Carpetbagger after this display of ignorance. I've been a nurse for 30 years and never have I seen this level of glib disregard for health warnings! I bet they have a full to capacity smoking area, right next to the fried pork rinds!

[@pearlsgirl45]

Soooo many people. Sooo few face masks!😣

[@bentstrider]

I live in NM and while most places are still closed and masks are mandatory, we still got plenty of scofflaws over here along the NM/TX stateline. All we could do for now is just keep our own distances, mind the crowds, and keep watching these "boots on the ground" videos here.

[@cathyhudkins9768]

Karen’s🤣😂

[@djjoshplacid83]

@@carolynfoster1541 damn. Chill out Karen. It's gonna be ok.

[@eddyk3]

The scariest rollercoaster I ever rode was when the safety bar didn't lock shut and before I could say anything we were away. I held on for dear life and fortunately there was no loops. Genuine terror for the photograph lol.

[@colabear2490]

Jacob i was cracken in tears going down mountain watching you.

[@debi1451]

I laughed my ass off watching him on the ride!. I am afraid of heights. I would not be able to go on the tram!. Fun video though!.

[@robylove9190]

Thanks Jacob! I may never get to see all the places you go. But, you always make me feel like I have been there.

[@knappjs]

Mountain coater footage is great, J! Be safe out there!

[@artsiguy]

I think I heard the sound of your screams echoing through the mountains.

[@WarriorRockStarWolfGaming]

For real?

[@raisingphoenix3374]

But seriously, Im moving to Kissimmee, FL. In March of next year and you.have given me a whole slew of activities to add to.my bucket list on the way down. Thinking about adding on an extra few days for Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge 👍💜

[@MrCoreybird]

i needed jacob screaming like a little girl to brighten my day :D

[@johnrogers6291]

Good to see you back on these interesting venues. Circus high wire school next!

[@pdxer8895]

The fire damage is really is healing itself. Thumbs Up!

[@PaulGT]

I remember getting stuck with my Mom on the chairlift at Tweetsie when I was a year or two older than your daughter Carpetbagger. My Mom was terrified! I was having fun!

[@sharonyoung7214]

As you told us about your daughter my heart actually hurt. It is still pounding in my chest. I can't imagine

[@lisadutton7998]

What a great video! I loved the shrieks of terror on the downhill coaster. Great vlog today

[@feliciascraftyadventures4734]

The twigloo's are made by my neighbor. He also makes sculptures using the same technique. There is nothing like living in the city limits of Knoxville and seeing a giant twig moose going down your road!

[@alexnic1964]

“Are you the Carpetbagger?” 😁😁😁😁

[@JamesScott-lc8md]

That ride looks like it would take your breath away, can see why you kept yelling: "Oh My God".

[@kaydee4296]

The story of your daughter on the chair lift gave me a mini anxiety attack! Omggggg! 😮 Cheers to Mama for her Spiderman moves! 💞

[@emil-pelz]

The ride with the mountain railway is not quite harmless. But it was a lot of big funny. 😊👍

[@HipixOFFICIAL]

Haha. Your screaming was amusing Jacob. I remember riding that not too long ago.

[@patrickfairchild2330]

Great to see you and so many others out!

[@strangestones1061]

They look much safer than the chair lifts in Gatlinburg when I was a kid!. Thanks

[@SuV33358]

Kudos for riding that rail runner thing! Holy crap that looked scary! God bless you for riding all the rides you ride on, you're very brave!

[@michaelgayandproud6466]

Thanks for having me along for the ride this is fun I've never been maybe sometime in the future

[@tendraftsdeep]

We're laughing so hard we are crying watching that mountain ride!!! Got to do it. Great video Carpetbagger

[@gracebond8183]

So glad I moved to Tennessee such a beautiful state with amazing people

[@Frankie343]

Good one Jacob 😎👍🏻

[@chriskall23]

thanks for the video. We are going to anakeesta mid june my husband will enjoy the rail runner i will just enjoy the views of anakeesta

[@tiggystreats]

I was just there Tuesday!! Thank you for your videos on Gatlinburg I knew exactly where to go and what to do!!!!

[@coastchickheatherjordan4891]

Finally! So glad I found your chanel. You do a fantastic job explaining your locations. Good for you! I love SC and just started a channel on coastal South Carolina. Great job!

[@kr8270]

This place is beautiful and someday I’d like to take my kids here. Thank you for sharing! And yeah....that mountain coaster is gonna be a NOPE for me 🤢

[@queenielarue4787]

I enjoyed the heck of this video! It looks like a fun place to go and a nice way to spend an afternoon. Gotta say, though, I actually laughed out loud when you were on that “coaster”!!!

[@sandih9084]

Hi from SC, watching this was one of the highlights of my day. I laughed so much watching you fly down that mountain! Awesome place I hope to visit if I ever get back up there. Enjoyed this so much! Thanks for all you do 😃

[@Cloud-dd8ku]

Hi Jacob another great video your a hoot on the rail coaster I couldn't keep from laughing another adventure that I need to go visit and I know I will be screaming down the mountain as well Lol!! Thanks for sharing this with us :)

[@Tony-5000]

I have to tell you; The 1st time I saw you was in a live chat, and you were lying down and eating during the chat. I never watched you again. Then, you were with someone I like, Adam the Woo, in Anakeesta. I got to see your personality, and I liked you. Will & Dawn and Chris & Mindy told me how much they liked you, but I disagreed. I'm so glad I watched these 2 videos. You are VERY entertaining, and definitely a great guy👍 I should have trusted the opinions of Will, Dawn, Chris, and Mindy... You are excellent! 👍👍 Only problem is, I now have to watch your past videos, and there are A LOT!! 👍 I guess I shouldn't have judged a book by the movie!!😅😂🤣👍

[@XxMorganEchoxX]

I’m in Gatlinburg right now! I’m going to do this tomorrow!! So excited!

[@busybeenation]

beautiful scenery. Rail runner looks awesome to be a full on accel ride. Much safer than alpine slides. People have skidded out on them or flipped in the curve on to the concrete.

[@mcwatersd]

You have the best scream. The coaster looked terrifying . Do not enjoy chair lifts. Beautiful scenery. Loved it. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤

[@manebull6291]

I can't wait for your gemstone videos, I know of only two gemstone places one is in tweetiy railroad at least I think 🤔 it's still there and gemstone mountain in north Carolina.

[@loyalsmith4096]

Yes first ride on a coaster,and no better place to be!

[@raisingphoenix3374]

Omg that mountain coaster rail WAS as skinny as spaghetti! I bet your legs FELT like spaghetti for awhile after that too!! Lolol I swear it looked like you were gonna vomit after that first hill 😂😂😂💜

[@shane21royal]

Hi carpetbagger UK fan here love the videos helps with lockdown hope you come and visit the UK at some point lots of places you would love such as Blackpool it's like our version of Gatlinburg but by the sea and has it's own Ripleys (another to tick off the list) also recommend wookie hole and York keep up the good work and making good content :)

[@Og-Judy]

Brickwork patios are covered with sand where it is allowed to work itself into the "cracks" to stabilize them. The rest is brushed away .

[@lewistonmaineiac]

Really Neat when you sprayed the hand sanitizer Man I swear I could smell the alcohol in the air.. Thanks for Sharing Stay Safe

[@57Banjoman]

Thanks for the ride!

[@LanceDean]

Jacob, thanks for your Gatlinburg area videos. Always good stuff. 👍🏻

[@robynwood550]

You poor thing. The things you do for us on KZbin:) That coaster was intense.

[@bobbydixon9368]

Really enjoyed your story today Carpetbagger

[@retrob9346]

Keep up the great work Jacob

[@yochanacoleman4974]

Omgosh!!! That was flipping terrifying!!! My head was going, "HE'S GONNA DIE!!!" LOL

[@dravenlee4473]

That mountain coaster legit looked fast, scary and dangerous unlike the others I've seen. I love Anakeesta but I pass on these things.

[@djforless]

Love your videos. Such a joy to watch. You are hysterical in this one and in the haunted attractions! You bring happiness to the masses! Great to see common sense states open again unlike the Dictator Regime we live in here in New Jersey!

[@SEDGE2024]

That was the scariest thing ever, I hated it! OMG hahahahaha love your videos

[@bentstrider]

18:35 Gets spotted due to those enormous chops. Of course the dude probably heard CB's screaming from another side of the park and figured: "Only one guy screams like a teeny bopper at an Elvis concert!!"

[@imranrahaman3223]

Hello all the way from Trinidad and Tobago. Love your videos.

[@markbtv11]

some great items to cook on the barbeque are corn, steak, chicken drumsticks & potatoes

[@matthewhinz634]

my family rented a cabin in north carolina and were going on june 13 and then 5 days later were going to gatlinburg

[@tammiekinsey3956]

Love this ❤❤❤

[@edhuffmanmetaldetecting]

Great Video Jacob... Definitely on my list to visit as well! Looking forward to your next adventure!

[@TNshylady]

Did it cross your mind while walking down toward the damaged trail with the tree pushed over that there might be other trees damaged and just waiting to tip over? I am scared of heights, and that is what I would think the whole time. lol

[@follkiej]

Fun vlog!!! Thank you Jacob!

[@nancybrown2668]

I really enjoyed this video...Great job...

[@amyyoshikawa7698]

Hi Jacob awesome vlog at anakeesta👍🏻

[@vampmoon2486]

I wish i could go to places like that

[@Catloveschickens1]

Where do u live?

[@tomklock568]

I had to turn down the volume so the neighbors didn't think someone was being murdered when you went on that coaster! Wow. No thanks for me.

[@mrknowhere6457]

So Jacob won't ride a fully safe roller coaster, but will ride one of these single rail things? These are so much more terrifying than regular roller coasters.😂

[@SnowflakeHenri]

Your videos leave me feeling like I made the trip with you. Good work. ps I have developed a fear of heights since my 50s but I hung on tightly to the bar on the ski lift. LOL Can't wait for next ride. 😊

[@angelamagruder5911]

I like the skybuckets!!

[@PitSmoke]

I enjoy watching your travel places. Thanks for sharing

[@daglinckxlightning]

wow a fairly steep roller coaster if you look at it nice ride

[@Trevora2]

I don’t know how a alpine coaster is more scarier than a roller coaster. Alpine coasters are more fun because you can control your speed but with a roller coaster you can’t control your speed

[@Cheeseburger.Launch.Sequence]

The mountain coaster is one of the sketchiest looking bad ideas ever. I want in.

[@timdaugherty5921]

That looks awesome!!

[@melissagayheart7716]

Omg that’s aweful!! Geez thank God for mom’s super strength when need be lol

[@NeurodiverseGamer]

Finally in the first video, I've seen, he's been reconized

[@gmg9010]

Guten Morgen

[@JoeVol5249]

I suffered a biceps tear riding that thing! Never again!

[@Lauren-laureb]

Oh cool! I was just in Gatlinburg today! Was hoping to get into some of the other attractions in town, but it seemed like a lot the ripleys stuff was closed

[@madisonbrown5892]

Me and my family are going to Gatlinburg pretty soon

[@ShaneFluff]

That coaster looks fun , great video

[@staleenacollins5440]

We went to anakeesta August 1st it was my favorite place there 💓❤️

[@juliealbert3605]

Thank you for this I must see this soon

[@jmorgan5252]

Good morning Jacob, would you ride the rail runner again?

[@rustyvideas8312]

Good morning Jacob! My favorite youtuber

[@hattiem.7966]

My hubby and I rode this early Oct in 2019.It was our first " single-pipe" coaster.My hubby hurt his back going too fast down that last curve and not slowing down in time.This ride was $$,paying to get up to the area then paying again for the ride,kind of a rip off.It was the 1st time we had to sign that " wavier " before getting on the sled.I don't like the going down first then going back up,most rides are the opposite.I have ridden many coasters in the US and my favs are the slides.Best ones are in Winter Park,CO and near ( Attitash ski area ) Jackson,NH.Look at at them here on YT.NH has a apline coaster now in the same area.Most of the " single -pipes" are in Europe and I've never been in the right area to ride them when I was there.It's nice to see more of the apline rides now as in the 1980's and 1990's there weren't hardly any due to insurance etc.The 1st one in the USA was in Portage,Wisc and it was only open one summer in the mid 1970's.It's here on YT too.We rode the Smokey Mntn Coaster again in P F,it's great!!!! It's the longest coaster in The coaster is the longest mountain coaster in the United States.

[@lindasayler4566]

Thank you lve this so much

[@christineknowles8684]

Try wicked twister at cedar point....I love coasters but I got off that one and seriously thought I was having a heart attack.....

[@SmokyMountainBlessed]

Your mountain coaster ride gave me a chuckle sorry it was scary for you, have not tried it yet

[@alyssamurray3450]

We were probably there around the same time. We were there the 31st and the 1st 😊

[@walterfink9782]

Did I miss the rest of your ride down on the roadrunner? It was so funny. You crack me up. Heights are not my thing. I like flying.
