Major props to that guy running the alien section. He's the kind of guy who makes vacations memorable. Good on him.

[@SacredCalamity]

His name is Eric, he's a performer and works at Beyond the Lens part time. He plays bass in a bunch of shows. I'll tell him you said this lol.

[@musicfanhawk4523]

He was really awesome for sure!!

[@SacredCalamity]

Hey Carpetbagger! I work at Beyond the Lens and would like to say thank you so much for coming in. I did not know you were making a video about us and would have let everyone know about it when it released. I hope you had a blast but from what I can tell you did, so that makes me happy to see. Thanks again!

My senior yearbook quote is now gonna be "more specifically" -jacob the carpetbagger

[@Countrytinker1991]

Just a while carpetbagger senior quote should take place.

[@BeautyMonster1000]

What's about "This one's in the bag!" That's a pretty good one, if you ask me! Lol!

"This is back from a time when conspiracy theories were maybe fun to talk about." *sigh* I miss those days.

[@freakishuproar1168]

Oof, ain't that the truth!

[@Dragonk116]

Same, now they are just taken too seriously by nut jobs, or some conspiracy theories that are just really dumb.

[@Something-Waffle]

@@Dragonk116 That attitude is why talking about conspiracy theories aren't fun anymore, because people like yourself label anyone who holds a different worldview than yourself with every pejorative in the book, such as "nutjob", or "tin foil hat". All because we dare to question the world around us.

[@Dragonk116]

@@Something-Waffle No that's not why, it's because they have gotten stupid. Dinosaurs at the center of the earth hollow earth theory? What a great conspiracy theory, always have fun with that. Stuff like trump claming that Obama spied on him? Err not so much.

If I built an attraction, it would be called "Get Your Ass in Here, Now!" or GYAHN for short.

[@goofusmaximusII]

This showed me Branson is for more than old folks.

[@englishatheart]

Why would you think it was? I haven't been there in ages, but I would love to go back someday.

[@adventuresintvland]

Branson has changed a lot past 5 years or so; definitely not just for old people

We watched this. Looks like a lot of fun, so we bought tickets for next week. Looking forward to it. Because of you, this is why we are going. We'll make sure we mention your site about it to them.

[@donnavaughn8813]

Thanks you my friend

[@scyphaprime]

I went here last month. They were still working on that dance room with the Pump It Up machine when I was there. Still loved this place. Flyride was fun too. Did you know about the AR pet hunt? And remember, you NEED two hands when playing video games!

Very interesting. Hi Jacob 🙋🏽.

[@bg199083]

I remembered both the 90’s and the 00’s (since I was a 90’s baby and born in 1990). Those games are my CHILDHOOD back in the day. My brother and I would play Mario Kart on the SNES a lot and I would play Sonic 3 a lot too on the Sega Genesis.

[@Raees-Divitiae]

That egg pit was an historic moment.

Went to the Pigeon Forge location at the beginning of April this year. The kids had a blast!

[@carolrossman5849]

I can't stop laughing !!!another gem!

Thank you for going there l was curious what it was would like to go to it so very cool

You should invest in a pair of those camera glasses or something similar, so you have both hands free!

He just needs a chest mount for his camera.

[@adventuresintvland]

He had a pair of spy glasses that got confiscated by the border patrol one time when he went to Canada

[@HeidiDepp1989]

Absolutely loved this!! Huge thanks from the UK

[@JoeSmith-er9bq]

Thanks for the videos

[@ArtemisLeo2662]

If you have time while you’re here in MO you should come to Springfield and check out the aquarium! The zoo is also fun.

[@weatherwitchandfelinefamiliars]

This was absolutely fantastic! I didn't know what to expect but this was utterly fabulous 💖💖 loved you in the alien egg pit 👽😂😂😂

This is an awesome video. Can you film the classic car museum in Sarasota flordia. Love your videos!

[@alliekuma4234]

Omg the Barbie pose killed me. Lmao That place looks like so much fun! As a 90s kid I can confirm that I also definitely don't remember any of those dance moves. This video was hilarious dude lol

[@Dreamyblue101]

This is so cool and awesome

[@Nick-bc2lm]

How is it that when I go to these places, they are usually a full house with a bunch of kids running around. You got your own quiet time it seems. Going in a few weeks. Looks like ill be spending a few hours in here reading all those facts, hopefully wont be too busy.

[@JeffytheAdventurer]

Dude, that place looks awesome! I just might have to visit this place if I am ever in the Missouri area!

[@jenniferbalogh9487]

I love living vicariously through you and your videos. I was wondering if you enjoy going to these places alone or would you rather have someone go with?

[@englishatheart]

He's said in past videos that he likes going by himself. He especially likes it when the attractions also don't have many people there. Hope this helps answer your question. :-)

[@VacationStationTV]

Nicely done thanks 😊👍

[@Nazrininator]

Now I really want to go there!

[@shawnstone72]

I haven’t been to Beyond the Lens yet. It’s new this year. I think it was changed from The National Inquirer to Beyond the Lens due to focus groups thought it wasn’t a family friendly attraction. I think that was the reason. I could just be making that up but it sounds good and I will go with that until I find out otherwise. 😂 The new WonderWorks is fun. About the same as the one in Destin Florida. I haven’t been to the new aquarium yet. It is only partially open. I’m wanting to wait until it’s completed. Hope you had a great time in Branson. I enjoy your show and it’s fun to see my town through someone else’s eyes. Thanks again for the great videos.

I don't remember da dip , I remember the tootsie roll. I think licensing may have to do something with these dances. I'm not a dance historian, but the ones they show, BMI and licensing stuff.

[@englishatheart]

Really? I heard "Da Dip" song way more often than the "Tootsie Roll" song. Guess it all depends on what the radio stations where you live play.
