In my personal opinion, Ripley’s never fails to entertain.

Yeah I'm good at it

I LOVE GATLINBURG AND PIGEON FORGE ITS AMAZINGGG

I’d have to agree with you there.

I havent been there since before the fire. I cant wait to see it again

[@timothyrandall6067]

It looks like they did a really good job on the renovation. I loved the previous Ripley's in Gatlinburg, but it needed a little TLC and attention. After the fires I think it's a wonderful sentiment that they choose to reinvest in the city! Thanks, as always, my friend for sharing!

Did they get rid of the hologram of Ripley? 🤒 aww that sucks 😕

[@psefti]

Ashley Phillips should have filmed on silent added commentary later

[@SentientTrafficConeMan]

I'm not a big fan of the renovation. It used to feel like a cool museum, now it's just a kid playground with stuff on the walls.

Glad to see a recovery down there, I married my Middle School Sweetheart there. My heart was broken when the fires went rampant. Our honeymoon cabin in Sevierville was torched the following year. Good show, we will have to go back now. Was not that the famous "torso man" who was in Brownings "Freaks"? Thanks for the sights!

[@RhettyforHistory]

Nice to see that Ripley's reopen. I can't wait to go to it again!

i went there about 10 years ago. definitely will check it out again when I'm up in tn/nc again.

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

[@bababooey7126]

Thank you for doing this video, I've been going to Gatlinburg since I was a kid. Ripleys always played an important role.

[@geometriks_1]

San Francisco is a pretty big role for me

[@AimlessAdventuresVlog]

Nice! I'll be checking it out in person this weekend.

[@sisterdiscordia]

So excited we'll be seeing that Ripley's probably after the meet up I haven't been there in a long time.

[@karol.5729]

I don’t know why I love this channel but you come up on my recommendations and now I can’t stop watching

[@PatrickStunner]

I've been going here since childhood. It was about time for an update.

[@Aelita3575]

Wow, a LOT has changed since the 14 years I went to see it. I wish I could go on vacation again. Glad you had fun!

[@marli8907]

I've been here half a dozen times. It was a favorite when I was a kid. Terrified me, but it also was just SO COOL!

[@brideoflister]

I live on the other side of the world from this Ripleys but after all the build up I'm so excited it's opened!!

[@darleneworks3397]

Nice. Thanks for the tour.

[@coasterkat4432]

I didn’t realize they’d remodeled. I kinda prefer the old Ripley’s as it was more “museum-like” but a fun tour nonetheless. Thanks for sharing!

[@aaronschulte3207]

Thank you Jacob, safe travels to you.

[@olddoggeleventy2718]

There was Ripley's off of I-35 in Dallas when I was living there. Always wanted to stop in and take a peek but could never talk anyone else into it...thanx for the tour!

[@noka1979]

My 2 boys and i love Ripleys. Would love to visit one some day. Here in Ireland and the UK we get the yearly Ripleys book. Thanks again for these tours.

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

I have been in the California one only.... but I bet it has changed since I've been there last.

Been there before the fire swept the local forest almost taking the town. Glad to see it’s still there and the new exhibits. I hear some of the stuff gets traded and rotated through the other museums. This was great. Love is sense of adventure and humor.
