Anybody else think the world is a better place because we have someone with mutton chops that wears a pork pie hat and provides roadside attraction and theme park videos?!? The world needs more characters.

[@MikeWeiner]

It sometimes is what gets me through each day. :)

[@denisedarnell1641]

And always a happy go lucky attitude. Very rare for him to get serious , only when he has to, but 99% of time, he is a happy guy who is enjoying his life !!! And most of us are not able to do what he does because we have to work a crummy job !!!! He makes videos that make everyone smile 😃

[@KendallKidd63]

Carpet the Jaccobagger is the bmbdiggity

[@suemoo22]

Yes! 😂🎉

[@drea62279]

The world is a better place with Jacob in it. I actually got teary eyed reading your comment ❤❤❤

[@davidv9945]

Hi Jacob! It was great running into you at the park! My girlfriend and I were sitting at the benches by the lion water fountain. Thanks for taking the time to stop and chat with us. You were so nice, you were the highlight of our trip!

[@drea62279]

How nice for you guys. That's awesome 🎉❤

[@TheVictorCruz]

My dream is to bump into him (and Jen) somewhere.

[@MikeWeiner]

@@TheVictorCruz Same! But I'm afraid I'd be all goofy if I did.

[@jassyboo1124]

Hi Jacob! Right after the water fountain is when you saw me and my boyfriend, it was such a true delight to see you and we hope you had an awesome day, thank you so much for stopping and talking to us I was shaking and nervous and you were so nice!❤

[@MikeWeiner]

Lucky!!!! I was thinking about going to opening day and I thought "I wonder if I'd run into Jacob". Its nice to know it can happen! :D

[@drea62279]

Yay

[@OldMovieRob]

The haunted mansion at Knoebels is legendary. Thanks for revisiting this again!

[@JohnFranzy]

Jacob yells "I'm Sorry" and just continues to crash straight into that kids bumper car! Haha

[@drea62279]

Yes I loved that part 😂😂😂😂

[@southerncharm693]

It’s that inner child in us still! 😆🤣

[@nataliecrow6533]

He is like me when I ride them I try not to bump into people. I thought I was the only person who did that 😅😂

[@paranormalelizabeth]

​@@nataliecrow6533 I do too 😂

[@xoxoxoxoxo7997]

😂

[@puppylovergirlsvideos5311]

Hey carpetbagger! Your 50th anniversary Knoebels video was the first one I’ve watched on your channel and I’ve watched ever since! So glad to be here and watch your adventures back there again!

[@lalilandadventures]

My precious Black Diamond!! 🥰 I grew up with the ride as the Golden Nugget in Wildwood & when Knoebels saved it, I was so grateful 🙏 my all-time fave! Can't wait to get back there. Thanks for this one.

[@morddas]

They need to update it inside! It has such potential!

[@matthewporrini50]

That's one of my favorite rides

[@mikehughes4969]

Jacob, you screaming NO on the Twister made me laugh so hard I choked on my own spit and damn near peed myself. I had to run to the bathroom! Also swan's are no joke. An adult swan's wing can hit with the force of a baseball bat.

[@suemoo22]

I’ve heard of swans drowning people and dogs! 😱

[@maryblaufuss7533]

We have Canada geese outside at my workplace and someone got karate chopped very badly by one last week.

[@can_you_hear_me5579]

🤣🤣🤣 Yes! I was laughing so hard! His reaction was just the best ever. 😁

[@m.hreels9822]

Jacob says, 'Why are you bumping into me?' after he gets into the bumper cars. 😅🤣🤣🤣🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Best bumper car footage I've ever seen in my entire life! ❤️ 12:11

[@xoxoxoxoxo7997]

Hahaha he had plenty of time and space to avoid the kid 😂

[@can_you_hear_me5579]

How about his reaction on The Twister? That was the most legit scream ever...he had me laughing so hard. He's a nice change to youtube 😃

[@vincentschmitt7597]

Your scene footage really showcased the park nicely. Well done editing.

[@DonnyMusto]

Throughout this video, I definitely had to lower the volume of my TV, he screams so much and it was so loud. Sometimes I can’t believe he’s that scared. But I’ve been watching him for a long time so I always know what to expect and I enjoy it actually, he’s one of the best if not the best Amusement Parks and haunts KZbinr. And many other places he goes just intrigues me and I’m so glad to have him. He’s such a cool guy even though he does scream a lot lol. ❤

[@joeycavalari5254]

Welcome to Pennsylvania

[@bizzlecrafts]

A friend of mine works as a restoration painter there full time. So much there is hand painted and hand maintained like it was when it first opened. In the "Mining Museum" there is a book of injuries and deaths that is absolutely wild. The 1000 piece puzzle was made by my friend and he hooked me up with one and some of the 50th anniversary tickets. Totally neat of him.

[@m.hreels9822]

I almost died laughing when Jacob hit the wall 🧱 😅 with his boat ⛵🤣 10:26

[@allensherrill850]

Just how did that even happen?

[@m.hreels9822]

@@allensherrill850 don't ask me ask him 😂🤣 I'm not the one who crashed

[@321brandon7]

​@@allensherrill850 They are extremely hard to control, it's nearly impossible not to hit the wall on those 😂

[@MichaelReynolds-ff6wr]

The only way to get over your fears, is to face them head on! You're doing great Jacob. Keep up the good work, we all need you!

[@MikeWeiner]

Jacob I've been watching you for years, bought your shirts, support you on Patreon, bought a Cameo, some pins and of all the places you've been and rides you've shown, the FLYING TURNS footage was the absolute BEST!!! The camera was perfectly mounted, the video was crystal clear, we could hear you perfectly, and the POV was perfection!!!! I love every one of your videos and look forward to watching your latest adventures every day!!!! Thank you yet again for sharing it with us all!

[@m.hreels9822]

I swear, Jacob's guttural screams never get old! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 - 27:08

[@justbearin]

I thought I recognized you when I was there then seeing myself in the video confirmed it was you. Knoebels is a great place to go for sure.

[@LinecookThorJamiethaxton]

Jacob you helped me get over my fear of the chairlift just by watching your videos

[@diannecouey5176]

Thanks for the fun time

[@tomiodatanuki7600]

Piggy-Weevil is the most useful gift for this year!!! 💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@TheCarpetbagger]

He’s full of flat pennies

[@maryblaufuss7533]

I'd be interested to know, after the end of the "Year of the Pressed Penny," how many pennies Piggy-Weevil has eaten.

[@BearLee]

Love your thrill enthusiasm, Mr Jacob. Cheers!

[@elvishouck]

Carpetbagger RULES!

[@ilovefish9458]

This is a beautiful park!!!! I went with my brother! Love you carpetbagger! ❤

[@xoxoxoxoxo7997]

What a great chair lift ❤

[@MikeWeiner]

25:56 One of the BEST coaster POV videos EVER!!! Not just for the ride, but for your incredible screaming and shouting! LOVED IT!!!!

[@matthewporrini50]

I will NEVER go on Twister ever again

[@SSDDR32]

Gotta do the Phoenix next time, it would definitely freak you out with the kinda airtime that thing produces

[@user-ss8qg1ud2h]

Thank you for continuing making great videos! I look forward to every one! You bring so much joy to many of us! We love you!

[@kurtyeager1197]

The cottages that you commented on over by the Twister...those are members of the Knoebel family that reside there for the summer while the park is in operation...the cottages at the rear of the park can be rented out.

[@juanzapata492]

A beautiful view and the boat is a calming experience for the dark rides later 😂

[@donnafriedt-gyulay3815]

Hi Jacob...Just went back in memory of my youth when us kids were guests at Euclid Beach amusement park on Lake Erie. There, too, was a wooden coaster ride called "Flying Turns". I cannot attest that Knoebel's purchased the ride, but it was definitely similar!

[@user-cn6de7xe2o]

Those rides look fun! Love that twister coaster, and both dark rides. Old school amusement park. 😀

[@Ina-me5wt]

Hi Jacob it was really nice to meet you at the park your such a nice guy have a great day

[@TruckerKarper]

i was operatoing the flying turns i saw you getting off i wanted to get a picture with you buddy

[@alanlough638]

Kudos to your KZbin Channel, Jacob! 👍👍👍👍

[@mikefreaz]

Ah, this brings back great memories. I used to take my son here when we lived in Allentown, PA LOVE Knobels

[@craigpringle5937]

I miss going to Knoebels.when i lived in pa i would go at least 3 or 4 times a summer as it was only about 90 minutes from where i lived.thanks for the video

[@sandramcclure2598]

That bumper car seen was wonderful!!! Loved your enthusiasm!

[@GANTZandMELISSA]

We go to Knoebels every fathers day, been going to Knoebels for 50 years now… Wow where does time go???

[@Ataraxia462]

Our family stayed at the Getaway cottage on property a few years ago for my sons birthday. It was absolutely incredible to make breakfast and walk over to the park and hop right on Phoenix or anything else. There were days during the week where we had the park pretty much to ourselves. I loved finding weird quirky rides like the Slide, the Cosmotron, and the Satellite. I still have the iron fire poker I bought from the blacksmith shop. Super fond memories of that park and I would love to go back some day.

[@kellybellezza2023]

We were there on Saturday. (Opening day of rain 🌧️) I was watching for you . Can’t believe it . I always miss you by a day or two . 😢 one of these years it will happen. Hopefully it is when Jen is with you as well .

[@maryblaufuss7533]

I feel so fortunate that I met J & J last fall. Now I feel greedy because I'd like to meet them again! But, who among their fans wouldn't want to?

[@mareekatz]

I went Herr as a little girl ❤ it's about time to go back. Thanks for all you do for us Jacob.✌️❤️🙂

[@southerncharm693]

My hubby from another room, ‘what’s going on in there!’ Oh that’s just Jacob @ 27:08 having fun on the Twister! 😆🎢 okay turn it down! 🤣 ha ha ha that was fun tho 😂

[@kathymcel]

I think ive said but my dad was a coal miner from Shamokin. When we were little he would take us to visit family and we'd go to knoebels about once a year and also Hershey park. ❤

[@elf5012]

I always enjoy your visits to the excellent Knoebels park. Thanks so much for taking us along today. I like the Black Diamond dark ride. You were very brave to ride Twister and the other scary rides.

[@pchts1]

We / I thank you for going on the wooden coasters it takes me back to the 1950s and Chicago’s Riverview Amusement and their coasters!

[@lennamolter2401]

Oh darn, we just missed you. I have always hoped to run into you at Knobles

[@robertabray-enhus3198]

The flying turn reminds me of a bobsled! The tilt a whirl and the Whip too!! 2 of my favourite rides!

[@hattiem.7966]

Have been there twice and the last time was about 5 years ago.We drove up from the state you live in to the park.We told Dick Knoebel it took us 8 hrs to get there.He looked shocked.We loved the FlyingTurns the most. I think there was a ride like this at old Coney Island in the old days.I know there was a similar ride at Efteling in the Netherlands.It closed in 2019.We like the small but rough Kozmo's Kurves.We also loved the Phoenix.Did you see Harry and Hattie the Eagles in the back?

[@oddestmouse]

So happy the chair lift is in operation again this year!!!

[@momtoty]

I saw you at Knoebels last year and said Hi to you. Knoebels is my happy place. My family is taking me to Knoebels for Moter's Day. I can't wait. I enjoy your videos from theme parks all over the country.

[@lindagelnett5772]

Hi Jacob 😊 My fiance and I drove past the exit for Knoebels yesterday and something made me think of you. We should have gone there, but we ended up hiking Ricketts Glen and all 21 waterfalls 🙂

[@truckermatt4603]

Just figured I let ya know because of you my daughter who’s 14 and I went to the rainy day revival and it was amazing I bought a few things garbage pale kids cards included lol but we will definitely go to the museum when it opens I mentioned I saw your video and that’s how I found them and they said they love you lol but thanks for it we loved it

[@mobius3173]

The chair lifts at Tweestie Railroad freaked me out bit when I was a kid they were like the old ski lifts with the 2 small metal bars to hold you in

[@robylove9190]

Have a wonderful day, Jacob ❤️

[@olliedayze]

26:14 i give the roller coaster commentary a 10/10. 😂

[@MichaelReynolds-ff6wr]

Hey Jacob, you need one of those Lion water fountains for your house!

[@TheIlluminara]

Back in the day the feed me paper pig was connected to a vacuum system and it would suck the paper in. I've been going here since I was a little kid camping with my parents and I still make sure to make it up at least once every year for a day and I'm in my 50's now. By far the best amusement park in my book!

[@markflowers1747]

Love your videos I benge listen / watch at work everyday

[@matthewporrini50]

I live at least 3 hours north of Knoebels. Last time I went was in July/2021

[@jennyvezina4551]

I had fun right along with you, thank you

[@Herestravy420]

Been there plenty of times.. Roughly an hour away from Lewistown PA where I live.. We have our company picnic there every year. Actually wrestler Mick Foley loves this place as well.. He goes a good bit lol

[@spigmana837]

Hello fellow Mifflin Countian...though I moved away years ago.

[@maryblaufuss7533]

There are a lot of nice comments this time! I love sharing thoughts with positive people. It makes up for the vlogs when, for some reason, the jerk bus lets out.

[@Nicholas.mala1997]

Thanks for taking us! 🎉

[@EpiCTriPpiNDeAdaHeAd]

good morning everyone!

[@Beetlejuice_88]

Carpet Bagger Really channeled his inner Chris Farley on the Twister Ride there.... LOL truly couldn't resist laughing at his sheer terror while at work! Thanks for the Laugh!

[@m.hreels9822]

Oh this is the video I just wanted to see! ❤ I love Knoebels and I especially love when carpetbagger goes to Knoebels!

[@lissachocolate]

I like that they have unusual rides and it is such a nice park. I’m not a fan of riding coasters but I admire your courage and enjoy watching you ride, I can “ride” with you without anxiety-ridden terror. Wonderful video 😊

[@blakeogilvie1002]

Morning saved by Jacob!

[@Aidan904]

Greatest KZbinr on the planet

[@c.rogers____]

I have never Ever seen the ride called the looper ever before.Amazing,!

[@dynastyduck3799]

That was so much fun, thank you Jacob. You had your camera in the perfect angle for the rides, not to shakey.. you know. :))

[@maryblaufuss7533]

Jacob has perfected his craft to the degree that he could teach courses on vlogging if he wanted to.

[@syedhamidi5643]

Knoebels is such a great themepark concept. Love it jacob 😍

[@talfacprez]

Mt Twister was the first roller coaster I ever rode when I was 9 years old...and un like you Jacob, I was hooked after that first ride. I LOVE roller coasters thanks to Mr Twister.

[@BigCha1976]

Used to go there as a kid like twice a summer. Was a great place to visit.

[@can_you_hear_me5579]

I absolutely loved your reaction to The Twister 🤣🤣"this is a mixture of emotions🤣 and it was a flood of emotions for me as well, My family would go there every year, I'm originally from Pennsylvania and My Husband and I just moved to Tennessee so this was a nice video, my gosh the memories I have 😊 I saw you on Omars channel when you guys went to the prison for your Fort Night battle. Looking forward to seeing what else you have in store and watching your other videos.

[@JasonGoldstrikerTankCommander]

Hey I live close to there!

[@markteicher5785]

The Black Diamond was an awesome dark ride, and it was long also

[@paulfuryes203]

Great video Jacob that park looks great. Looking forward to the next take care my friend and safe travels as always.

[@TheDanteOxalis]

Those houses are actually private residences! They're owned by Knoebels family members

[@hattiem.7966]

I think Dick lives in a 🏡 close by.

[@glennjudd2467]

Happy Monday Jacob , believe it is the best place in America ! Love to go !

[@purpledragon8368]

[@MichaelReynolds-ff6wr]

I love the floating skull room in the Haunted Mansion ride!

[@rhallmonte]

Last time I went on the Twister I ended up getting a kidney stone attack the next day. It’s been 5 years and I don’t want to get back on it in fear of it doing that again lol

[@annathecartoonartist4819]

[@SpareTimeBowler]

Bro I was there on Sunday and saw that goat. My entire group didn’t believe me until til they saw it later on in the day.
