Frontier Town - Old School Wild West Theme Park - Berlin, MD

[@laurag9203]

I can't wait to see how excited Jacob would get it he actually wins on a claw machine. Maybe that could be on his head stone: Jacob played games and played a ton. He died of shock when he finally won. 😁

[@SchererProductionServices]

I notice with almost all claw machines; not only do they NOT grab the item tightly, the claw also actually begins to rise BEFORE it closes.

[@angelm2655]

I wish the owners of these places would realize your videoing encourages people to come visit. I plan to visit many of the places you have featured-videoed.

[@djr3008]

I want to give a shout out to all of the attractions that don't allow filming. If it were not for people like Jacob being allowed to film, a ton of us would not know you exist. Also I feel if you don't allow filming then most likely your attractions sucks. Jacob does a great job on trying to make the best of what you have to offer. He also helps me personally decide where my next road trip may take me.

[@ruggedlyhandsome744]

Thanks Jacob, that's probably the best Frontier Town theme park that I've ever seen. What a great show enriched with some really well done cultural shows. Brings back many happy memories of Guntown Mountain in Kentucky. Thanks again Jacob, that was great! 🤠👍

There is also a zip line but it’s late for me so I’m gonna continue during camping:) have a good day

Berlin was voted one of the best small towns in the USA! I stayed in Frontier Town in the 90s. I return to Ocean City, but don't stop there. Wish we did. Maybe one day. Thanks for stopping here Jacob so I can take a walk down memory lane when I stayed here with family.

[@bobbysharks5797]

The greatest things in life are the most simple things. Thanks for keeping it real .

[@steffanylee_]

My family used to vacation there almost every year while I was growing up! Good times! ☺️ -Minus the time I flipped off the water slide. (Not the current ones, they removed these.) I wasn’t seriously injured, but I haven’t been on a water slide since! 😂

[@TheFacrecords]

It’s rude to flip off a water slide

I personally think this was more entertaining than a mermaid museum anyways... Good stuff...Thanks for sharing!!!!

[@TheDeviousDrDoom]

That's where they made the mechanical sharks for the Jaws Rides! James Rolfe from Cinemassacre was just there and talked about it! They have one there on display but it incorrectly says it's one of the screen used sharks for the Original Jaws film.

[@byallmeansneccasary6884]

O it's not they made the jaws at new York punk

[@saltypirate2639]

I went here when I was a little kid. My one uncle owned a trailer in the campgrounds associated with Frontier Town. That train used to run. They used to give someone on the train a fake bag of money which would get stolen in a fake train robbery. I ended up having the money, and I nearly messed myself when the fake robber came to steal it. This when probably more than twenty years ago now. Nice memories. Neat to see this place still running.

[@ZomBRaider]

That happened to me too back in the 70's when I was about 4 years old....Guy told me to hide it behind my back....Robber started waving his gun around, I pulled it from behind my back and gave it to him....LOL....Got back to the station, he asked where the money was and I told him a robber took it....He was like aw man!....LOL

[@Theodoreisfat]

@@ZomBRaiderI never went in the train but I could hear it from one of the water slides near the parking lot

[@hopejordan2997]

Glad you went here. The wild west is much more fun than mermaids. Glad to see these little parks still in operation

[@allensherrill850]

Glad you did stumble across that Wild West town. Thanks

[@flyacow]

It looks like it's fun 3 hour drive from me. Maryland is a weird state for me I can get there in less than an hour or it could take me 3 hours to get there. Just how it is shaped around Delaware I live in Pennsylvania.

[@maevemaiden]

it is strange I agree, I live in Montgomery County, I can be in DC and Virginia in 30-40 min and yet there are parts of Maryland it will take me over 3 to 4 hours to get to and it's such a small state but large at the same time, there are tiny towns I have never hard of and just happen to stumble upon them by accident lol.

[@Theodoreisfat]

I live 1 hour from ocean city but it feels like a eternity

[@sarahmassaker9588]

Wow! This brought back memories! I went here years ago and still talk about it. Thanks for checking it out Jacob!

[@erikmassaker3067]

Ohhh yes it did didn’t it my sistaaaaa!!! We should go here again sometime

This place terrorized me as a kid. The robber robbed me on the train, and I have never recovered! LOL

Close to Ocean City. Hope to see your video from there again soon. I love that you get Ocean City and like it for the same reasons we Marylanders do.

[@andrewvarney5687]

After being snubbed by a Mermaid, Jacob plays cowboy air hockey, and walks the dusty streets of an Old West Town. But soon a gunfight breaks out between the Sheriff and some rowdy cowboys. Next Jacob takes aim at the Shootin Gallery, followed by Trick shots courtesy of Buffalo Bill and Frank Butler. Then after potentially coming up with a Sharknado sequel idea, Jacob finds a mine and ends up in a mystery shack. Also a quick stop at Boot Hill to visit an old friend and take part in some tomahawk tossing at the Native Village. Back in town, some no good outlaws are robbing the Bank (with ACDC as BGM) but never fear, a local sharpshooter will deal with this. Then Jacob stops by the local Saloon, where a claw machine, hot dogs and Karaoke awaits. Finally we get to watch a Wild West Show.

[@wesmorrell3052]

Classic Roadside Old west town. Brings back memories

[@TsunamiTommi]

They used to do train robberies and stage coach robberies. They also used to do a fake failed "execution" where they would dunk a guy under water on this giant see saw thing. It was always hilarious and fun. When I was little I wanted to grow up and be a can can girl there lol. It has been the same native American actors there since I was young. Very nice people. Usually it's a man and wife. Most of my "core" memories are there💓

[@roysoth1929]

I’ve gone there ever since I was little and my dad went since he was a kid. So many good memories there!

[@JacksonHess-jc4il]

Frontier town is my favorite place to go on vacation. I’m so glad you went here. I love going into the town and watching the gunfight reenactments and I hope to go again this year.

I think jacob would enjoy Old Thrashers here in Iowa, usually happens on labor day weekend. Tons of historical stuff, they have a few museums, cowboy fights like this and train robberies. I think everyone should check it out if they get the chance.

[@stephenbailey1485]

There is a trick to those claw machines some machines if you hold the button in after the claw drops I think it gives it more of a grip it's only ever worked for me once

[@mariehendrick7173]

Great place Jacob it reminds me very much of a theme park we had back in the 80s..90s and early 00s called The American Adventure here in the U.K. It was located just outside of an old mining village near Derbyshire. Great memories, I remember the old shootouts and panning for gold...Your so lucky to still have quite a few places like this dotted around the states... XX

[@dungeonmasterzed6558]

Went a few times when I was little and they had a worker in almost every shop. Got a "shave" from the barber and even got to see the can can show. Overall great experience and loved going there as a kid

[@dannymartin1114]

I choose to believe Johnny "wad" Pittman loved his job at Frontier Town so much, he decided to really be buried in the gag cemetery.

[@BennyLlama39]

The tomahawk throw reminds me of an o-o-old Johnny Carson bit. He threw one at a human-shaped silhouette and it went straight into the silhouette's crotch. 😆

[@wooderdsaunders4640]

Maybe it was the day you were there, but it used to be packed in the 70's. Of course the water park draws some of the visitors away. Used to have a stagecoach along with the train ride.

[@the13throse]

My parents used to take me here all the time when I was a little tyke! I guess I just figured it was closed when we never went back. Cool to see it's still running and what's changed/what I forgot since I was super little the last time I was here

[@tinaevans6772]

No person...only a severed hand. I had to laugh!

[@joskidude]

That place gives me Guntown Mountain vibes (I have been to this place multiple times and i have seen your videos on Guntown), and I think it is like this now because the Sun Outdoors thing going on. The western park used to be paid entry, and strangely was busier than it ever has been these last few years. There is a High-Rope/zipline type thing that is shown at 5:16 and I'm pretty sure it's closed for good. Also, when the park was paid admission, there was a cute little train ride that took you back in the woods and a select train car (usually the one with a young child/child on it) would get a box of Faux jewelry and would be "robbed" by "bandits" and it was all-in-all a good experience. Also, the arcade you visited in the beginning of the video used to be half-gift shop and the arcade machines were quarter-powered and were a lot more old school and fun. There was also a horse-powered trapeze ride for the kids to enjoy. There was an ice cream shop on the left-hand corner directly when you come in as well (which can be seen for a split second as the little red corner building on the left-hand corner at 5:55. Now, back to present day, the western shows are a lot shorter and there are the "Texas" trick riders (shown at 30:01) who preform there every evening (the "Texans" also perform in the gunfights if you keep a close eye out, and I'm sure they're just people from Salisbury who put on fake southern accents) And a lot of the fun things about the park that people enjoyed are empty and abandoned, The ice-cream shop is abandoned, the train tracks are overgrown with weeds and grass, and even the other buildings (except the golden nugget saloon) are starting to fall into disrepair. The Bank building which can be seen in a lot of shots has trees growing through the walls and ceilings and looks like something straight out of stranger things. All in all, I hope maybe the corporate conglomerates that own the park can maybe do some touch-up work on it this upcoming winter.

[@remyandersen2001]

hi, i have some good news, both the ice cream shop and zip line place are reopened under new owners :) the arcade i feel like us half of what it used to be. WAY back when where the mini golf is now there used to be a small amusement park, and the mini golf used to be directly next to the waterpark (it’s now a barren field). i haven’t been to the western theme park in eons, idk what is still there/not there anymore. i live three mins away year round.

[@joskidude]

@@remyandersen2001 yep! I have been recently and I love what’s going on there. Go ape is the owner of the ropes course now and they also have some axe throwing, too! The BYOC place is pretty neat as well. It’s good to see this place starting to come back together

[@dpmart3275]

Brilliant video and I loved the hotdog 😍 Also those teddy bear machines are so frustrating because it's almost as if they're set up to not be able to win anything so people will continue to feed money into them 🧸I also understand how addictive they can be though 😅 Thanks Jacob and best wishes ☀️

[@njdotson]

I think some claw machines are set up consistently but if you didn't know, a lot of claw machines are modified in the settings to be loose, but then when enough people play it, it will tighten the grip so someone gets a prize. You just have to play those at the right time and it will be either really easy or really hard

[@Eighties-Jadie]

@@njdotson Yes exactly and that's what I thought about them being rigged but I didn't know about the part where over time the more people play it tightens. That's good to know because I used to win out of claw machines years ago but not recently and wondered if they were all set up with a loose claw grip. They're very addictive 😅

[@Theodoreisfat]

@@Eighties-Jadiethey never work the arcade is fun tho but over priced you run outta money for each ride

[@Eighties-Jadie]

@@Theodoreisfat Yes exactly and because it's addictive too is how they make their money!

Take a ride about an hour further South to Chincoteague, VA. They just had the wild Pony Swim and the auction is Thursday. There’s a carnival and you can see the ponies in the corral at the fairgrounds. We just came back last week.

[@justinspringstun5836]

Jacob order a “Bug-Assault” gun online they are a god send when you have that problem bug. They don’t take salt pellets only shoot a small blast of regular table salt. Very little mess very effective. I think some Walmarts even have them. You need one!
