Very glad Meow Wolf let you preview it. You are the reason I found out about it and I've told people how wonderful it is.

[@Imjustkayhaha]

Same here!!

[@lavender3082]

I am also a person who found meow Wolf because of him, ❤and I even went to omega mart so far!🎉

[@waterhorse5199]

Jacob going in and out the washer/dryer portals...😂🤣😂🤣😂This man rocks.

[@Themeparkhero]

With all the edits and camera angels he must of been in dem things a dozen times lol

[@waterhorse5199]

@@Themeparkhero for real! 😂

[@imamejmg]

This is amazingly cool but It is a lot more similar to House of Eternal Return than the others or then I expected. When I was a kid my dad used to tell me stories about a magical mall where each store was its own world. There were places like toy village, land of Candy, Musicville, etc. Given this attraction was opening at a mall I was hoping for a mall theme. It’s great but now I think I need to open my own experience in an abandoned mall. Any artist out there want to try with me.

[@merauxshere]

I always think about the same thing. I'd love to

[@dectoon]

Theres a paper on the bulletin by the washer and dryer that says that the house is very similar to the writers house in new mexico so they are supposed to be similar I believe

[@juanzapata492]

The last meow wolf you saw was out of this world and I can’t imagine how this one is going to be 😊

[@syedhamidi5643]

I love when jacob get this kind of recognition ❤. You deserve it 👏

[@ratbones620]

Meow Wolf is so cool. I wish they would open up a location for all of us east of the Mississippi

[@pdtoons9121]

Love to see what archaeologists thousands of years from now think of our civilization when they dig up an ancient Meow Wolf location. LOL

[@allensherrill850]

They would be saying “No wonder society on earth failed to thrive! “ “Daddy, I want to go home, earth sucks!”

[@bg199083]

Oh, a PRE view. That would be a really awesome Meow Wolf to go to in Grapevine, TX. Glad you got to experience it Jacob.

[@elijahvincent985]

This is the type of video that I would find to be an excellent promotion of the upcoming roadside attraction! I'm convinced to check this out someday! As always, love your videos! Not to mention, it's an excellent way to recycle a classic mall to bring in more people!

[@annking8633]

Your coverage of Meow Wolf in Denver was stellar stuff. 👌

[@N999OON]

I am convinced that the only people who could make Radiohead's KID A MNESIA virtual exhibition a reality is Meow Wolf

[@Sparty-pi3jq]

I'd love to see a Meow Wolf attraction, east of the Mississippi river! Orlando, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, any single one would do. Great video as always Jake!

[@user-jc3ew1ez3h]

Thanks for visiting! My friend and I were just like you in the "refrigerator room" LOL!

[@serinachilders74]

I have an Uncle from Grapevine, this town use to be a blip on the map from what family has told me. Nice to see it growing and now a meow wolf. Give the family a place to check out next time they are in town.

[@crow-t-robot]

That's so awesome they invited you to the preview! I finally got to visit Omega Mart last year on vacation and I'm dying to see the rest of them. Pre-2020 they had plans to build one here in Arizona but it got cancelled after the pandemic, I truly hope we get one some day.

[@vectorwolf]

As an Arizonan, I'm really hoping they open one here. Vegas and Texas are just too far away!

[@RhettyforHistory]

Looks really cool! They always do a great job with their art and themes. You definitely forget about everything going on in the real world when you visit Meow Wolf!

[@robylove9190]

It's awesome that you got to preview Meow Wolf in Grapevine! ❤

[@averyeml]

This is the first Meow Wolf opening anywhere near me and I’m so ready to go see it! I was wanting a sneak peek at how big/involved/“legit” it is before I make plans with other people to go see it. Great as always!

[@mrstitch6325]

Me too. I live in Lewisville. Fun to see the Carpetbagger was down the street from me lol

[@larryinfl80]

So many kids getting inspired by this, meow wolf is good for humanity.

[@pushingoars]

I truly appreciate you crawling through all those port holes for us. ❤

[@CrimsonHound84]

I'm still eagerly awaiting Meow Wolf to show up on the East Coast. Denver's Convergence Station is amazing when I went there.

[@Nymo]

This looks like a more accessible version of House of Eternal Return with elevators and ramps! A great alternative to those with mobility issues who couldn't fully explore the original Santa Fe location! Thank you for this preview and I look forward to your next visit and my eventual trip out there!

[@joeovermoe2124]

The mirror above the bed in one of the bedrooms looked like Birds In Flight, one of the sculptures on the Enchanted Highways in ND.

[@ThirdEyePsychology]

Hahaha dude you friggin beat me to the upload!! Congratulations!!! I’m filming my video right now hahaha.

[@killianredcastle]

I'm headed there in a couple hours. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to watch this. Would have been great to meet you there too.

[@GettingOutInLife]

I love the unintended video effects as you open the portal doors.

[@philmccraken]

Finally!! Meow Wolf is actually in my area for the first time!! Got my tickets right away and going on the 19th!

[@billjohnson8720]

Geez Jacob, did you just drive from Toronto to Texas? That's around 21 hours. Wow, if so, you are a power driver. Impressive!!

[@alliekuma4234]

I am legit very happy for you and the good things you've got going on. You're being invited to really cool events and there's a mini version of you permanently in front of Ripleys in Canada. You really inspire people! Another amazing Meow Wolf! ♥ Still keeping my fingers crossed that one comes to Michigan. Lol Thanks for bringing us with you!

[@catherinehatt1224]

I'm watching on the smart tv, but have to comment on the cromebook. I love how you go through everything. It's more than I can do with my mobility issues (I miss the agility). You don't let getting down on hands and knees and crawling through holes stop you.Thank-you!

[@breck8714]

Grapevine has made itself tourist stop with all the attractions they have now.

[@dodiatkins4515]

Love those mutated coffee cups.❤

[@atlaz9673]

This was such a treat Jacob!!! Thank you so much.

[@dizneycrew4799]

So cool CB you got to experience the New Meow Wolf before it opened. We found out a few years ago about Meow Wolf through your channel and have been fans of MW ever since. We've only been to Omega Mart so far and we loved it. My first impression of the newest attraction is it looks massive and more or less a mix up if Sante Fe and Convergence Station. The story however looks very vague and not as detailed as Omega Mart. Hoping that there is more of a story to uncover and that maybe that will be unveiled more when this opens to the public. Either was look forward to hopefully seeing this one day in person. Love the channel, keep up the great work👍👍

[@lindasolis7117]

Thank you SO much!!! My very first video of yours that I watched was of the original Meow Wolf, on recommendation of my husband, then I found your other videos and have probably watched every one! We ADORE this place!! Have never visited, but this new one in TN looks a lot like the original, which is more attractive to me than the grocery store one (although I would certainly visit if in the area.) So glad they invited you for this private preview! 😍

[@tcghunter33]

You know what's funny? Meow wolf is how I discovered your channel.

[@Rhewin]

I had no idea we were getting one in this area. Fun to see you walking around a mall from my childhood. Had dinner with my wife at that Rainforest Cafe after I proposed.

[@cinamarkCAT]

This is my favorite place you visit!!! Everything is just so beautiful and immersive!! I can't wait to visit one of the locations one day!!

[@speedlemon]

Was super cool meeting you on Opening Day. My wife and I are big fans

[@piecheese1214]

Imagine if Meow Wolf made an exhibit like this somewhere... And then didn't tell anyone about it. Like, you're just walking in downtown Boston and turn a corner and suddenly you're in an Omegamart.

[@tedioustotoro4885]

I like how the refrigerators were by a company called “Brrrmuda” because, in the Santa Fe exhibit, when you go into the refrigerator, you end up in an area called “Portals Bermuda”

[@MsInvestigate]

looorrrddd i could see myself spending HOURS here trying to piece together this story. definitely need to check this out!!

[@Imjustkayhaha]

Youre the reason I learned about meow wolf and i literally told my friend about it last week and we made plans to go to the one here in California!! You deserve this!!

[@Shadowfae69-cf9ux]

I adore your trips through MeowWolf! So interesting, so cool! Thank you so much for bringing us with you. Say hey to your lady. Hugs and kisses to you both!

[@markzeahammer183]

The Carpetbagger could not be happier than when He is entering a New MEOW WOLF exhibit.

[@kyuubicat5]

This is gonna keep the whole mall afloat lol

[@mushieslushie]

It's interesting they did the house concept again, but I do think that is their strongest one. The store in LV also sounds cool but I think the one in Denver doesn't quite have the same feel to it sine you are just sort of thrown in from the start there without everything looking relatively normal at first.

[@lissachocolate]

Glad to see you got a preview tour. It’s kind of like being in someone’s weird dream.

[@lauriehoule9889]

This is soooo cool! I wish they’d build in the Northeast! Massachusetts to be exact! Love MEOWWOLF!!!! 😻

[@shawnstaples7929]

I liked Jacob going to meow wolf looks so kool 😊 I like how he went into diff fridges and was in another dimension lol so neat 😊

[@Jynxxx5]

I wish they could put the stories behind all the attractions on their website because idk how you can figure it out in 1 or two trips 😭 I’m also not near any of the attractions and find them really interesting haha

[@Themeparkhero]

They do sell some of the books and pamphlets and stuff on their website. At least they did

[@roseBlight13]

The Meow Wolf Credits pages tend to give lots and lots of lore snippets. You could pretty much figure out the plots through videos and that website.

[@mscheuring70]

Thanks for sharing this us with us Jacob!

[@nineangels7572]

I love Grapevine, TX ! Great video, thank you!

[@matthewfarmer2520]

That thumbnail tho 😂 thanks for sharing a good laugh, your videos are always a joy to watch. Stay safe my friend 🤓📸✌️

[@TheChrystellolovebello]

Ahh! I’m so glad you got to check it out they were advertising this when we were there for Texas frightmare and was bummed out it wasn’t open yet. I saw your other meow wolf adventures and convinced my husband to take that four drive back to Texas to go to it when it fully opens!

[@LuLzMrTom]

I'm so glad they appreciate you showing Meow Wolf to the world enough to grant you this opportunity, I would never have heard of it if not for your channel and now it's definitely on my bucket list

[@animexgirl6936]

It's no surprise they pick you Jacob because your one hell of a awesome person on KZbin, they know your videos are so fun to watch and its fitting that you get to go. I am so so proud of you Jacob and its only going to get better for you, I'm happy to be part of all of it with you through your videos. I love you Jacob keep up the great work you do, also at 10:50 when you open the closet Jacob you camara got a bit wonky when you open the doors, it remind be of the other MEOW WOLF were your audio got all weird lol.... MEOW WOLF is creepy lol its the only place that you go there and your camara acts up.

[@Themeparkhero]

I noticed that also. It happens again at 30:00

[@animexgirl6936]

@@Themeparkhero it sure does.... it so creepy though lol just saw it again with my boyfriend just now cause he missed this. Jacob is so fun to watch. Any way's godbless you and ur fam @Themeparkhero

[@richardhogenson594]

Amazing that they built that in a mall.

[@frankbingham53]

Love your videos and intros and outros carpetbagger this one is in the bag.

[@UmmYeahOk]

It’s cool that it’s two stories. I know there were rumors, but I didn’t believe it because I used to shop there back when it was a Bed Bath and Beyond. They must have low ceilings to have two floors.

[@Dragon359]

I've been to the one in Santa Fe, and it's weird and wild enough as is! Omega Mart seems more laid back by comparison, but this one gives me vibes of the House of Eternal Return big time!

[@pasi8800]

So awesome they invited you! Always love your Meow Wolf videos ❤

[@jamesrich8463]

I like secret rooms and portals, kinda like going to ripleys or wizard quest or something like that, I'll have try visit this location when its open. They expanded wizard quest in the Wi Dells it used to be next to Ripleys but is now down the street a few blocks and now is much bigger, I plan to visit it but have not yet.

[@fiona3821]

I pressed pause as this will spoil the surprise and fun of it all.

[@youbettergetyourlife]

That washer and dryer scene 😂😂😂

[@UmmYeahOk]

Funny. The refrigerator brand is BRRRmuda. As soon as he entered, I thought “Portals Bermuda.”

[@beckylg8176]

So happy they invited u to preview the attraction❤

[@akuma976]

Not gonna lie I'ma kinda disappointed. I was expecting an Omega Mart type mall setup. This just looks like a reboot of the Santee Fe exhibit

[@russellmclainmusic]

You have come a long way with your channel! I really enjoy all the videos

[@DianaLynne-27]

Your videos are great. Thank you for sharing all these interesting places👍

[@BeeWhistler]

HOT dog!!! You are kidding me! Duuuuuude… I was hoping when I saw you were in Texas… I was sad when I saw where the others were located because they’re too far from Southern California BUT I am moving to the Dallas area in a week and a half and I am stoked, my dude. Thanks for this great news!

[@FUCKSampleClearance4U]

Thanks for visiting my home Carpetbagger. Can't afford a $45 ticket right now as priorities move this to the backburner. But at least I can watch you do The Real Unreal! Thanks, man!

[@mikehughes4969]

Meow Wolf delivers again. From now on I'm just going to assume if its Meow Wolf, it's going to be interesting.

[@kilis3804]

This was the most thorough and helpful review of a place ❤. I was on the fence about this place until this. Will be taking my nieces and nephews here

[@ericscott2777]

Good afternoon Jacob. Hope you are keeping well sir

[@matthewfarmer2520]

If it's in the afternoon for you lol it's in the morning to me. It's 10:00 a.m. 😊

[@GettingOutInLife]

You entered the same entrance and took the same path that I took when I made my video for my visit to the Stranger Things Store. Unfortunately, it is no longer there. I really look forward to visiting Meow Wolf. It looks pretty awesome. I was hoping to catch you there someday.

[@curri189]

Just went yesterday, had a great time!

[@TheMrFunny11]

Maybe it’s just me but it feels like a mirror house of eternal return? A lot of the theming seems eerily similar to be a coincidence like the aquarium and the washing machines. I wonder what that means for the overall meow wolf lore….

[@judycogan5348]

Where is Jen? Its been 2 weeks since her last posting. Is she okay? Please let us know what's happening with her. We all miss her.

[@laurag9203]

I follow her on Facebook and she mentioned having surgery but I don't know what type.

[@judycogan5348]

Thanks Laura G

[@cindymixell6936]

Im looking forward to a new video of you and Penny! I hope its soon!

[@annking8633]

Good Morning from Denver!

[@-C0m3t_on.pawzz-]

I went here when it opened! Very good

[@franklord-di8xl]

I’m the dude sitting at the restaurant across from you, love you guys

[@TheCarpetbagger]

Nice meeting you!

[@SewerTapes]

I'm less than 30 minutes away from Grapevine. . . and my acid guy lives on the way. This is going to be cool.

[@johnminh]

Great video! I just bought tickets for my kids and I. Can't wait to experience it!

[@doodlertoon]

You looked like Winnie the Pooh, when you were pulling yourself through that portal (31:30). We love Winnie the Pooh.

[@robertyoung7962]

Jacob getting the VIP treatment . 🤘🤓🤘🇺🇸

[@Wolfwithsilvereyes]

Spoilers do not bother me, I just wanna know what I'm in for, especially since it'll be my first time entering.

[@elizacarrie7433]

14:40 it would’ve been so fun if that had been a performer instead, and the poster behind them was a hidden door for the employees to go on and off shift

[@theonlyelectricalexa]

This new exhibit feels like such a retread of HOER but with a bigger budget :(

[@BakedPotato4832]

I went to Omega Mart while on vacation today and if you wanna go to one of these things, GO. The videos do absolutely no justice to these places. I really hope they make one in San Diego because I wanna have a meow wolf I can easily go to a lot. But seriously, if you’re thinking about going to a meow wolf attraction, it is completely worth it to go.

[@bonniecreevy2642]

Could you consider adding a playlist for each state and then sorting your videos in? I love your videos and the unusual things you find! It would be easier for people to click on the state for which they are traveling

[@saxonrulesrock]

Absolutely incredible! Great episode

[@lenoramartinez3573]

This was amazing ❤

[@markmansion]

24:10 and that's where Carpetbaggers come from.

[@kandihinshaw1870]

I think if I were having to crawl on my hands and knees I might want to bring some knee pads with me.

[@DenisseSierra7496]

It says "Tomorrorrow" Thanks for sharing this adventure. That place looks fun

[@ralaun2000]

In the arcade room, there was a drink called “Gender Fluid?” In TEXAS??? They’re probably going to be forced to remove THAT soon! Where do they think they are, AUSTIN? 😊

[@BeeWhistler]

I heard they’re a lot more liberal in Dallas. Not counting on it but I heard it anyhow.

[@davidabrown92]

Jacob there's some nice museums in Raleigh NC I went to the explorers museum loved it I hope I can go back soon

[@andrewbradley5584]

Wish they would make Somthing like this in Wisconsin
