21:56 now this rides my favorite. Pharaohs Fury.

[@allensherrill850]

You took us on the world’s oldest roller coaster. Wow that was fun. Thanks

[@miketwomey4923]

You'll notice that due to the low speed there are only side and bottom contact points as there was no airtime. Also it runs on flat bar and not rails...

[@crossoverchildren.allarewe5412]

@@miketwomey4923 I’d love to know the accident history

[@shainahullihen1159]

​@@crossoverchildren.allarewe5412, there was an accident at DelGrosso's? When was the accident?

[@zig_zagman]

The change story was very entertaining!

[@afwalker1921]

I know you endure hardships on the road, but the ride on Leap the Dips engaged my whole heart. A grateful America thanks you, Jacob!

[@MikeWeiner]

A day without Jacob the Carpetbagger is not a fun day...I look forward to your videos every day and am a long and proud Patreon because no one has a channel a fun as yours!!!! No one!!! :D

[@kylecope3265]

It was awesome to meet you yesterday at delgrossos been hoping to see you one day and it finally happened

[@FrontierKampers]

Jacob,you are the hardest working vlogger on you tube! We all appreciate your chill attitude and good sense of humor. Thanks!

[@jabrowski_]

The summer of carousels is the best Jacob. It's a good vibe

[@syedhamidi5643]

That is the most adorable old man rant 😂

[@lonesoul663]

That looked fun 9:22 Where I work as a cashier part time they don't allow people to exchange a dollar for change anymore. Stores or different places, at least where I work, have become more paranoid about their money and security.

[@ambrosia_salad_time]

You need to make a limited edition Carpetbagger on a Carousel Horse pin to celebrate the Summer of the Carousel.

[@maryblaufuss7533]

I'd be all over it! And gifts for my carousel-loving friends!

[@mcwatersd]

Loved seeing the worlds oldest roller coaster .That was amazing. The Delgrosso Park seems like so much fun . So happy you took us along Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤

[@PerishHXD]

Idlewild Park in Ligonier, PA has a great Merry-go-round!

[@rdmeenach]

That was refreshing. Ill be looking for DelGrosso products from now on. Nice to see them honoring the family experience and people in general with reasonable prices and good clean fun. Good on them.

[@vincentschmitt7597]

Theirs is the best sauce imo in a sea of choices.

[@Themeparkhero]

Yeah I'm gonna try it if I can find in in my area.

[@EndeavorsDnB]

Thank You for being you, just as well as you doing what you do for us. This world is too crazy right now, I need more content like this. That’s definitely putting it lightly.

[@danielmiller6547]

During Covid there was a shortage of coins for some odd reason. I’ve noticed myself ever since that I’ve had troubles at some places trying to get them to make change for me. I remember during Covid some stores near me had a notice that they had no coins to use exact change. Some stores were even offering discounts if you brought so much change to them in exchange for bills. Wilds times we have fell upon for sure…. I’m sure schools have stopped showing kids how to count change now just like they did with analog clocks and cursive writing.

[@tomklock568]

Fun to see these older parks you can just go in and enjoy without an admission fee--and that old time roller coaster! And an Italian food park on top of it ha ha!

[@waterhorse5199]

I love that Jacob tries to win Jen stuffed animals. So cute. ☺️

[@penxor53]

For being such a small old family park, Del Grosso's seems to be well kept up

[@RoadsideExplorers]

We hit these two parks up as the first stops on our MidQwest road trip in June. Riding Leap the Dips is quite an experience!

[@corinasgone]

I actually live rlly close to Delgrosso’s! Sadly I couldn’t go this year bc of my leg injury so it makes me happy I could still see it!! Thank you!!!

[@animexgirl6936]

AWWW Jacob I love this video not only was it fun as always but when you said "I think Jen will be proud that I won her a pink donut". I thought that was just so cute omg... no one can say your not cute Jacob lol.

[@nurseydebdeb8539]

Ok I don't know if my other comment made it so I will try again. That old roller coasters is so cool. I had read somewhere on early roller coasters and that was exactly it. Yes that kid giving you 8 nickels instead of 8 quarters is a frightening thought, are our kids forgetting what coins are? Egads what's next?!?!😮 so want to go to Pennsylvania, my paternal grandfather his ancestry comes from Pennsylvania, so would love to make it up east some day. That park looks like fun the carnival fa,especially are priced good, never seen the clown and ping Pong game before, that one would hook me along with bowling ball game. 5hat bowling ball game they have at the Kansas State Fair and it pulls me in everytime lol. Great video and nice win for Jenn. Regarding your pressed pennies get a empty jar for example a pickle jar. When your done eating them wash the jar and lid , make a slot in the lid big enough for pennies. So. Ow you won't loose your pennies

[@limerent72]

Your story about quarters just goes to show that sometimes, when someone is rude or doesn't want to do anything or claims they can't help you, the simple reason is that they actually don't know what to do so they just tell you no. Sad truth.

[@wildcatenthusiast8888]

Omg two of my home parks in one video! I also consider Hersheypark my home away from home park for we visit it so much!!!

[@shainahullihen1159]

Lucky! Wish I could go to Hershey Park more often. The last time I went was 2009 on a field trip with my school. It was so much fun. I love the different rides and foods. I remember being really happy because I got on the Ferris Wheel for my first time and that was really fun. I don't live too far from the park, 15 to 20 minutes from my house.

[@laurag-oe9xo]

The kid working tacobell was so excited when i gave him exact change the other day. 😊

[@jmorgan5252]

Enjoyed the video Jacob The carousel was very cool. Hope Jenn enjoyed her pink stuffed doughnut

[@IATSE52]

Your a brave brave man drinking out of that public water fountain my friend.

[@alanmiller7607]

Beautiful parks in pa thanks so much jacob i am physically unable to visit these attractions anymore i love your travels bless you jacob

[@michaelmoore7337]

Thank you for visiting the amusement parks.Reminds me of the time in the early 1960s when my Parents would take me. We would go to Lincoln Park in Dartmouth, Massachusetts which was demolished about 30 years ago.

Hey Jacob, seen you yesterday at Del Grosso's. I yelled atcha as you were going across the bridge to the ride side. Wasnt sure it was you at first till I seen the socks and crocs. Then I was like Yup, that's TCB. 👍👍

[@maryblaufuss7533]

Oh, lucky you! To see, and hopefully someday meet Jacob and Jen, is on my bucket list. You talk like me. (I talk like my grandfather did, on purpose. He was a Polish emigrant to USA in 1917, with everything he owned in one wicker suitcase.) As in, "I'll be right wit'cha!"

[@jasonmurray9399]

@@maryblaufuss7533 Lol, too funny! I get picked on all the time because of my Pennsylvania Twang. I go up to New York salmon fishing every year and they always say it sounds like im from Mississippi with my southern accent. They obviously never heard a southern draw up in that part of NY.

[@daisyharbold6823]

Glad your having a fun day I’m from this area and both amusement parks are pretty awesome. Me and my husband take the kids there throughout the summer time and we love it. Enjoy your day. Have a blessed one stay safe and Cool it’s 90 outside today !!

I love the " summer of carousels" 🎠🌟❣️ That roller coaster at the first place was cool...just my speed ( 10 MPH) 😄 I prefer the older amusement parks and the old school rides 🎠💗It was fun to see You play some games 😺🍩🙌 As always, Thank You for bringing Us along with You Jacob 🙏💝😻

[@Cardioqueenmom]

Delgrosso was my childhood park back when it was Blands Park. So many amazing memories there ❤

[@Cardioqueenmom]

That lion water fountain has been there since I was a kid in the early 90s

[@Cardioqueenmom]

And the Carousel organ has a super cool history! Thank you for sharing all the mural photos, so many memories!

[@shainahullihen1159]

​@@Cardioqueenmom, I don't remember seeing the lion water fountain when DelGrosso's was Bland's Park when I was a child in the 90's.

[@Vishiaeq]

It's been there as long as I can remember. Sadly my two favorite rides are long gone now. The Zyclon coaster, which was sold and ended up as the sandblaster in Florida and derailed, and is now gone. And Space Oddissey. I agree, though, so many memories.

[@susanboatman7913]

Looks like a cool amusement park. That's is really nice of you Jacob to put that cap on the fence.

[@mareekatz]

Welcome Jacob to my beautiful state of Pennsylvania ❤ both parks feel so enchanting!!!! Really enjoyed this one. Safe travels as always ✌️❤️🙂

[@kimpeters9983]

Hi Jacob, The town is pronounced like AL-TUNA. I hope to get to Delgrosso Park in August. There used to be a little amusement park in Hollidaysburg, PA. It only had like 5-6 rides and was right across the street from my friends grandmother's trail. Though small, we still had lots of fun. I love watching you ride the roller coasters. The wooden ones are my favorite ones to ride. Thanks for sharing your journeys with us. Safe travel.🎢🎠

[@lauriemathon7074]

Hi jacob. We have a nice carousel in saint Joseph Michigan on lake Michigan. Down by the beach❤. It's indoor. Live to have you come this way!!!!!

[@Shadowfae69-cf9ux]

Carousels are my favorite! After dark rides, of course. Good choice.

[@allensherrill850]

Yes I had to make spaghetti for dinner tonight due to that subtile hint of DelGrosso sauce. Yummy!

[@arc4ne_ann1h1lation]

I went to Del Grosso's last month. My favorite rides are the Casino and the Paragliders. My favorite slides at Laguna Park are the Great White and the Twin Twisters. My one favorite ride at Lakemont Park is the Skyliner, but my other fave was the Toboggan, but it sadly went away.

[@x5HYx9UYx]

This guy is so consistent with the interesting uploads. Ty Mr bagger. I enjoy all of your experiences ✊👊

[@Stunned67]

Out of all the screaming you’ve done CB on the massive roller coasters, nothing you have ridden has terrified me more 😳 That wood has seen some days and someone needs to explain the dip at 2:08, that seems a little chewy 😂 You CB are braver than you know ! You’re my hero 👊🏼

[@maryblaufuss7533]

Jacob makes a lot of sacrifices for his art. The roller coasters are one thing, but I'd say that Jacob eating that horrid cotton candy hardboiled egg the other day was the bravest thing I've EVER seen ANYONE EVER do!

[@meetmeindreamland]

What a beautiful coaster.

[@flutefanatic221]

Cool carousel found!! Rode one on Silver Beach in St. Joseph MI. Plays Christmas. Music and has flamingos, pandas and even a praying mantis!

Have you checked out Cafesjian’s Carousel at the Como Park Zoo in St Paul Minnesota? The zoo also has a small amusement park and Mold-O-Matic machines. Near the Minnesota State Fair grounds if you're heading back up.

[@WhistleRobinCottage]

Love this video and park. I have great memories of riding the Tilt A Whirl, The Scrambler and the High Swing rides with my brother and my friend. We also rode the old coasters. It's great to be able to take your kids/grandkids on the rides you loved in the 1970s instead of just trying to describe them.💖 Thanks !

[@susanboatman7913]

DelGrosso has been making sauce since 1914. They're rated really high and will pick some up at Meijer, my local grocery store.

[@cattleprodding]

Oh, never put two and two together. Different than the Hershey's Ice Cream / Chocolate companines.

[@mattsquire2284]

The other day you were in Birmingham, Alabama and I live in Birmingham, England. In this video you're in Tipton PA, and there is a town called Tipton not far from Birmingham in England. You should try and go to towns in the US that share their names with UK towns 😊.

[@scottwebster5211]

The summer of carousels is cool

[@angelarowe3472]

I personally love 💕 carousels, and you took us into an adventure of the different types of carousels and Merry go round’s. I didn’t know the difference between the two, but now I do thank you for that along with a variety of artwork, history along with craftsmanship and beauty that’s in that ride. Thank you so much for sharing and I have been enjoying your channel ever since I found you on KZbin you take care of yourself and have a great wonderful day and be safe. Tell Jen I said hi and give her a Hug.❤🤠

[@Roger-hp1yg]

Awesome video thanks for sharing it.

[@linabeever2989]

I use to work as a clerk and the reason why we don’t give change is because of our float. We are only allowed so much change and once that runs out we are in trouble . The same as when people give us large bills we cannot accept them because of the same reason

[@robylove9190]

That park was pretty cool! Glad you got to spend the day in both parks. The oldest roller coaster was one I would ride 😂❤

@davew1065, I remember riding that carousel in Ocean City Maryland as a kid in 2000's. Is it still double decker?

[@coastermom7027]

Hersheypark has a second carousel for little kids and the horses are pretty small on that one

[@kendalshirk5093]

Love seeing you visit all of the little PA amusement parks I grew up going to! Lakemont Park has an awesome drive through Christmas light display that I just got to check out last month!

[@mikehughes4969]

The world's oldest roller coaster was so very cool. The biggest and the fastest, they come and go, but there is only one oldest. As far as I'm concerned, it should be named a national treasure by an act of Congress. The Summer of Carousels is something I'm totally digging, and should possibly be a t-shirt. Also, properly done, greasy pizza can be a delicacy.

[@iangraham6351]

The back seat of the Leap the Dips is pretty wild

[@drpenguin57]

I was at lakemont and delgrossos about a month ago. If you ride leap the dips in the back seat you fly out of the chair a little bit on the dips lol. No idea why but the back seat is a wilder ride

[@sgstiffler]

You were in my back yard. My dad grew up in Lakemont. He worked in the park as a kid in the summer. I spent many summers going to both parks.

Kennywood has a very similar sized kids carousel. It is in Kiddieland there and from the 1920s.

Try Santa Cruz, CA for a historical 1911 carousel and the wooden roller coaster built in 1924, the Big Dipper.

Keep up the great videos Jacob. You should visit Cross Roads Village near Flint, Michigan next time you visit Michigan. It has an enclosed carousel ( other attractions also).

[@denisedarnell1641]

I love Huckleberry Railroad as well. I think Jacob was there a long time ago though ...I am pretty sure I saw it while browsing thru his list of videos ❤ Maybe with his fond of carousels nowadays, he will come back and see it again

[@nowhereman4104]

One of the coolest carousels that I know you haven’t been to is just up the road from you in East Tennessee. It’s the Kingsport Carousel! It’s it’s an all wooden carousel and indoors.It’s just a few minutes away from Backyard Terrors and dinosaur park in Bluff city. And our fair is coming up in August too! And Kingsport also has a giant Indian chief statue and a muffler man too!
