My very favorite carpetbagger moment of all videos ever: Jacob singing Pink on the Cosmotron.

[@LuLzMrTom]

had to replay it like 3 times lol

[@sadskraps4918]

“DIRTY LITTLE FREAKS” I died😂😂😂

[@Vladimir82623]

I showed to my great aunt and she died laughing

[@LuLzMrTom]

I have to keep coming back to this moment so funny

[@killianredcastle]

I can't stop smiling whenever you're in a scary ride. So good of you to sacrifice yourself so.

[@SuV33358]

Smile, hell, im laughing my ass off?🤣

[@jonbarwick5946]

Best part of the video “OHHHHHH-WOAH” 🤣

[@damako7072]

The craftsmanship of wooden roller coasters always amaze me.

[@ilikecomicstoareallyproble8617]

*Dies of Nostalgia overload* I remember going here every year when I was a kid, my parents loved it because it was free to park, and to walk around. My brothers and I always had so much fun there.

[@Primogen18]

The park has grown so much over the past 20 years. Id say you are due for another trip! They are starting their Christmas event this year too

[@alexblasko8174]

@@Primogen18 I 100% agree with you! I go every year and I don't think I've ever gotten tired of it.

Who else got emotionally invested in that puppet show 😭♥️

[@barbarah9917]

Really if u dont like it go some where else fool.

[@PeteRondeau]

Couple of fun Knoebels facts, they have an onsite organ shop and repair carousel band organs for other parks. That rolling ride you were unfamiliar with is believed to be the last operating Allan Herschell Looper

[@AforAwesome3604]

Pete Rondeau there’s that and so much more there. I work there so I know a bunch of other facts so if you have any questions don’t be afraid to ask 👍

[@AforAwesome3604]

I work at Knoebels! If anyone has any questions feel free to ask! (Also Eleysburg is said like ee- lees- burg) 👍

[@CelticShadow75]

I live roughly an hour South of Knoebels and I have to say, this has always been my favorite park! You guys are always super kind and courteous, the park is always clean, and I've never had a bad time when visiting! So thank you!

[@jeremymead1308]

Should I go

[@AforAwesome3604]

@@jeremymead1308 of course! (And that’s not just me doing my job) there’s a bunch of fun rides, and the food there is some of the best stuff you’ll ever eat! So if you’re thinking about going, I’d say check it out

[@neto123304]

Question. Is it still free? I haven’t been there in 2-3 years and I was planning on going this year but I seen online something about a 17$ fee just to walk ? And a 24$ fee for the rides? Can you clarify if that’s true?

[@AforAwesome3604]

@@neto123304 there’s still no parking or entry fee. We didn’t have initiation yet this year but I think you have to call and reserve a day because of covid, so we can only be at 80% capacity or something like that. I hope this helps!

[@mheim1234]

Used to live near Knoebels.. haven't been there in years, but its a Great place to take a family! Inexpensive, clean, great food, all around great time!

[@ericemme747]

The theme park industry should be paying you to keep hope alive during this pandemic!

There is nothing better for me than to listen to you yelling in a haunted attraction or on a roller coaster. You just make me laugh when I need a laugh. So happy to see crowds out and enjoying this great amusement park. The fam and I will try to check it out now. Stay safe

[@Vladimir82623]

I loved it when you screamed on the truck horn and the jungle

[@jasonkresock2196]

Great, as always. 😂💚 Just rode Twister last week. Best line ever: "Rollercoasters, Scary." What elce can be said after that one! Amen my Friend, Amen.

Good one carpetbagger 😎👍

[@beulaholine8637]

I purely enjoyed this video! My family and I went to such amusement parks when I was at home. We enjoyed ourselves so much. Thanks for the video and bringing back cherished memories!!

[@garysamuels2541]

Thank you so much for going back to Knoebels! I used to live about 45 minutes from here, but now I am in Arizona. When my family met you in Disney we chatted a bit about Knoebels. This vlog made me smile the whole time as I was flooded with excellent memories. I can’t wait to get back here in the near future.

Everytime I watch his videos I picture myself travelling with him. I think he would make the best travel buddy.

[@anib6701]

I love how you're encouraging the use of masks and not complaining about wearing them! Keep it up :)

[@bandsreunited]

Jacob, Jeremy Kennedy here. The answer to your question at 18:46 in this video can be found on page 128 of "Hang on Tight! A Retrospective Look at the 2nd Generation of Amusement Rides (1950s-1980s)". I'm pleased Knoebels are honoring one of these rarities in their park museum. Good eye Jacob!

[@ryanj99]

Something very special about that park. I remember going there as a kid. I especially liked all the trees around and thw shaded areas.

[@chrishutchinson2297]

Thank you for riding those coasters for us. It was very brave of you. I used to love them when I was younger. The bigger and faster the better.

[@leahd1434]

👍👍🥇 I'm so glad you show all of these places.I would not have know they ever existed!! and I dont get to travel much..love your vlogs Jacob.

[@robylove9190]

If you ever ask yourself how much fun can one man have, just think about what you do for a living! Thanks for another great video Jacob 👏

[@imhereforthememes5063]

I was here over 20 years ago with family. It's a great day out the house in mother nature. I'm from New Jersey. Any place west from NYC is another world.

[@brendakrieger7000]

I love Knoebels🎢🎡🎠🚂 Best grand carousel. I like a riding horse🎠 Absolutely the best bumper cars!! Thank you for the nostalgia. Fond memories of this amusement park.

[@AdventureswithBeck]

Definitely one of the better videos to show this place off. I’ve always wanted to go here but never got a real good sense of what was there. Looks fun!

[@mzfitz3844]

I dont know what is better hearing you scream in horror LOL or when you say "whats that" what was that" uhh you get me everytime! I love your videos!

[@nobleroman5601]

Hiya Jacob , I just wanted to thank you for sharing you're trips with us all, especially for myself because I'm pretty much home bound and can't get to all these places, it allows me to enjoy the rides I remember when I was young . Thanks again Jacob .

[@charlesjanssens6770]

Thank you to be so brave !! I had the feeling to be at your cyde and had so mutsh fun !!!! Greetings from Belgium, Brussels

[@jmorgan5252]

This was the all time best video and amusement park, all my favorites the beautiful carousel, spooky dark ride , and the great vicarious thrill of riding the Coasters! Thanks Jacob!

[@bill7705]

I loved the haunted mansion dark ride. I was freaking out watching it. I felt like I was watching the movie The Funhouse (1981). Thanks for sharing it.

Ive got this weird anxiety problem lately and your videos really help chill me out. Thanks bud.

An awesome place. I love the old traditional amusement parks. Thanks!

[@jasonb8569]

I grew up in Pa and this was an amusement park my family would visit every year we would stay in the campground. I now live in Orlando and when we come up to visit family and friends we always take a day for Knoebles. This is our favorite park

[@deniseconaway701]

“God have mercy” 😂😂😂, prepare to meet thy doom on that fantastic roller coaster Jacob, that was one of the best oldie worldie fun parks you’ve been to, the ghost house was a goodie too, love watching all the fun you have Jacob on these rides lmao thankyou x 😁👍🏻

Can’t help it, love that song

[@FUNKRUBICON]

G. Funk This is an amazing video of a truly outstanding amusement park! I live about an hour away from this park and absolutely love it. The Knoebel family, their managers, and staff do outstanding work day in and day out every year. I have been to this park several times each year and have been there on business as well and talked with the Knoebel family and they are some of the most patient, nicest, humble, and genuinely caring people you could ever wish to meet. All of this comes with the tremendous weight of running such a large scale operation that would probably be very trying to most families even in the best of times. Like I said, I really cannot overstate how special this place is and what great work they do keeping it an amazing destination for family fun for generations. I hope it retains its charm and family ownership for the next 100+years. I really wish that everyone in America could visit this place at least once to get a true feel of what this place is like. Knoebels isn't the only amusement park out there, but they are among the BEST at what they do!

[@margaretsatchfield6480]

Loved the Carousel. I remember when Dollywood's Carousel use to have the grab the brass ring game. I miss it.

[@emil-pelz]

I think it's very nice that you always make us so happy with your videos, especially like in times of Corona! All respect, thanks 🌞👍

[@rdmeenach]

Thanks for the great Twister ride, old school coaster at its best, and the sound and your yelling was perfect!!

[@mikedavies9379]

Another great video and a heart place to visit Really look forward to your videos 🇬🇧🇺🇸😷👍

[@dannymartin1114]

OK this might be the perfect carpetbagger video. Classic park, great dark ride, weird statues, random coal mining museum, the 🌎 largest bat?, even a moonshine still. This had it all. Also your personal style filming these parks is getting quite good. Great video thanks!

[@rexnewcombe8337]

The one ride you didn't know is the Looper, and you have a pedal you push with your foot. Then it locks the wheel to flip it over and over.

[@lovemeg5186]

I enjoyed the singing! Also what an awesome scary dark ride.

[@raptorvloges2286]

I have been to knobles and black diamond is literally such a fun dark ride roller coaster combo.

[@zoftigbeatnik]

The cars on the Black Diamond Roller Coaster are from the Gold Nugget Mine Ride in Wildwood , NJ that shut down years ago.

[@searcher00211]

I for one truly appreciate every roller coaster you ride for us, your viewers! I wish I could ride some this summer.

[@DragonRoams]

Oh man Knoebels was my 1st job. The Motor Boats we use to have to unstick people all the time. We didn't have the fancy poles though lol. Nice walk around the park and that cage you saw in the museum I remember that being some weird manual attraction when I was a kid. It was removed before I was ever big enough to experience it.

[@ChuckMound]

Knoebles is the Best. They do have the best Bumper Cars for sure as well as the best Dark Ride. They have a covered bridge festival in tbe fall that is amazing with vendors from all over..Penn State Creamery has the best Ice Cream at the festival. Flying turns is a very unique ride for sure. Well done Bagger.

[@ROT4RYfc3s]

I used to go to Knoebels every year with my parents when I was younger. I've always loved it there.

[@ROT4RYfc3s]

We also always bought the bracelets instead of the tickets

I went there once during Halloween time a few years ago. Didn't get on any rides, but it was really fun. For your PA trip, I totally recommend Antietam Dairy and Renfrew Park and Museum.

Hey Carpetbagger! I went to Knoebel's last weekend. I caught myself laughing while I was riding the Twister, thinking about your reactions in this video. HAHA! This is a great park. I really enjoyed it.

[@robinstroup862]

That cage that was in the museum was a childhood memory. I went 1 to 2 times a year in the 70's. You would stand in them and you would have to manually try to get it to swing. If you succeeded, you would make it rotate around into the air. Love the video!

[@mommagnome4]

Love this park. We go at least twice a year. Tickets are good forever so don't throw away the extra. Next time you come try the Tri Taters. :)

Hey Jacob! I know this is an older video, so you might not see this, but I'm a newcomer to your channel and I've been binging the heck out of your videos for the last few days. I just wanted to thank you for everything you're doing with your channel. I've always loved the idea of places like this and other unique locations throughout the US, but my chronic illness keeps me from being able to go out and experience them myself. So thank you for going out there and sharing your experience like this. It really gives people like me an opportunity to experience these places that we will never otherwise get. You're awesome, and I WILL be joining your Patreon for those postcards, man, I haven't received mail that isn't junk or bills in YEARS so it'll be wonderful to be able to look forward to something in the mail that isn't an amazon package or something. Stay awesome!
