Shark Train - Downtown Aquarium - Houston, TX

[@RyanShyffer]

Jacob, you need a "Ferris Wheel Buddy Program" where you pick a subscriber in each town to meet you and ride the Ferris wheel with you.

[@TheHipisterDeer]

Ya I always have to ask my mom because of that no single rider rule.

[@christinekelly4068]

That's a good idea!!

[@noblewick]

That's an awesome idea; I'd sign up for that

[@Theperfectsinner]

That is an awesome idea!! Very clever ...id be down for That!

[@X-Gen-001]

Hey that's a great idea! It should include international buddies too. Like me, from Australia.

"Is everyone okay?" , the conductor was concerned over Jacob's screams

[@Onewayfilms24]

Man the whole "do you know anyone who's lived in the dark so long they don't need their eyes" comment was deeper than I thought it would be lol

[@Chris-ru3ri]

I feel bad for the tiger. He looks so bored. I hope he gets to go outside

[@rynh8206]

Last time I went not too long ago , the poor thing was sleeping. And they had kids tapping on the glass to wake the tiger up 😐😐

[@horaciolinares8597]

Tiger gets walked daily they walk him on a leash and collar around the park

[@weatherwitchandfelinefamiliars]

@@horaciolinares8597 really? That's fantastic, I'd love to see that! 😊

[@chuckoneill2023]

Yeah, that is not a good place to keep a big cat full time. Zoos in many cities used to do that, most of them have built much better enclosures more recently.

[@damian5528]

@@chuckoneill2023 I agree, it should be in a zoo where it can live in a large outdoor habitat, not in a aquarium where's its indoors

[@nc3171]

The animatronic shark reminds me of the shark that jumps out of the water on the studio tour at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Always love having The Carpetbagger visit Houston!

[@kelseyburd9690]

that poor tiger needs SO much more space...and a soft place to lay down, and a place to swim, and places to climb...poor kitty :(

[@the13throse]

I hope it might have more space in a hidden area away from public view, but I don't know for sure

[@anandas3523]

Yes I was also concerned.I hope him/her have a hidden more spacious enclosure .

[@josephferrara1414]

To the left is more area with a pool and softer flooring. They also have other areas for the Tigers. There are several that they rotate through out the day.

What could be greater than riding on the back of an alligator? Chompie away! Love that tiger Jacob great video!

[@mike407r]

This has got to be one of the coolest aquariums I’ve ever seen lol!

[@deathvalley006]

I remember you were in Houston last year and you went to places like the White Elephant Flea Market, National Museum of Funeral History, and others! Welcome back to Houston Carpetbagger!

[@robertyoung7962]

I think this is my new favorite vlog of the year

[@brittanyN]

How neat you visited here! My family and I live fairly close to Houston and have been to the aquarium several times. It's always a fun time.

[@montyrose78]

Your videos are a great escape from all crazy news in the media nowadays

[@Unbridled13]

You past right by my house ... sorry for the bad weather while you are here. Huge fan 🥰

[@buckeyeguy82]

That's a really cool aquarium! And that shark popping out of the water was awesome!

[@PFAM5]

Stingrays eating was awesome! Great video as always!

[@robertyoung7962]

Love the Shark train use to live inn Houston the same company that owns the rainforest cafe owns this

[@GottaGoBlast]

I love the Downtown Aquarium in Houston! I have family near there and it is such an amazing place to see in person. It's also very cool to see the tiger moving for once, everytime I would see him he would be asleep lol.

[@Razzilicious]

Sub-mechani-phobia is how it's pronounced. I looooove Fastpass Facts, Theme Park Crazy, and TPMvids submechaniphobia videos

[@seb.13]

I have it but in a very severe way

[@patrickfairchild2330]

Very good - LOVED the tiger - respectable crowds

[@emmasmith7642]

I saw the notification and got so excited because the aquarium is pretty great

[@HerWeekendTravels]

That's where I've seen that mechanical shark from. As soon as you went by it on the train it looked so familiar. Theme Park Crazy is one of my favs.

[@cristywyndham-shaw5111]

Amazing aquarium!! That train tho...such awesomeness!! Sharks swimming over your head...too cool! 😎 Thanks Carpetbagger for a fun video.

[@idamaeteufel4371]

Love the White Tiger. My favorite exotic animal. I hate that he is caged.

[@iamprivate18]

Happy to see you enjoy my home state of Texas!

[@MeaganG08]

I pass by every time I go to Houston and I've never been. I definitely need to check it out.

[@ellenwoodruff4518]

What an amazing place! Thanks for showing it to us - now I have somewhere else that I want to visit.

[@dannymartin1114]

Your oddball humor was really hitting on all cylinders in this one. 😆

[@mcwatersd]

Love aquariums . That shark train was really unique as was the tiger. This was great. Keep Safe❤Keep Well ❤

[@AdventuresbyD]

Holy cow. Feeding a ray? Wow!! And a train through a shark tunnel?!? We’re adding this aquarium to our list!

[@Now_This_Is_Podracing]

I went to this aquarium! It....was honestly underwhelming, along with the zoo nearby. We didn’t do the shark train unfortunately. I felt bad for the tigers, I really hope they’re in better care than it looks

[@troll5660]

You know one time a saw you in the car museum,I was the kid 😂

[@sweaterkitty-fluff]

I went there a couple months ago!! Never got to go in the restaurant but it was so cool seeing that aquarium getting some love!

[@vonitadustylgreen2914]

Thanks Carpetbagger for another great video. I love aquariums.. Have a great day and stay safe..

[@sheilascott9894]

Great video but I hope that the tiger has plenty of outside space to roam around.

[@curth5158]

Thanks for all the roadside Attraction videos!! Now I don't have to go and spend all that money going to them..

[@gillygillyyt55]

Poor tigers. Otherwise a nice place. Thanks Jacob.

You can see the fricking mechanics it puts a shiver in my spine. Good vid bye the way.

[@demonoid7469]

Really cool aquarium and the tiger and the train were definitely pluses!

[@CousinMothball]

I saw that crazy amusement parks video. I was very excited to see the cameo shark in your video. Awesome job!!

[@BmoreLioness]

Theme Park Crazy's channel is amazing!!! I did notice that he has used some of your videos!! It's great that you were able to use his list for your list. This place is amazing. I have to add it to my list and take my son on vacation for her the summer.

[@alliekuma4234]

I loved your reaction to the fake shark lol I immediately thought of when people would chant "shark shark shark shark" on the Jaws ride.

Great video. Welcome to my neighborhood. I live about 4 miles from the Downtown Aquarium.

really cool seeing you visit our aquarium here in houston! :)

[@dragonx4225]

I am pretty sure I saw a video about them moving the gars and stuff into the area and it’s cool to see it completely done

Ok, I look for Hollywood to make a movie called “Sharks On A Train”. They made “Snakes On A Plane”.

[@SheilaPairADice]

I thought the exact same thing!

4:12 that's Dory and Marlin Jacob 😂

Looking like gorgeous weather there. Love your videos Jacob 😍 Hope everyone is having a good day and is keeping safe and well 😊 xXx

[@davidng2336]

Fun fact: the train you rode is the first electric C.P. Huntington train ever made. Since 2019 all their trains are electric. One is green like this one, and the other is blue.

[@melanietroutman3905]

I'm impressed! Looks like a fun place to visit. ❤

[@shenamelton6579]

JUST ONE OF MY FAVORITES I FREAKING LOVE IT

[@the13throse]

I wanna go on that sea animal carousel! This place was super cool! Actually made me want to visit Texas (that's no hate on the state itself, I'm just a massive baby about hot weather)

[@JEdwardBanasikJr]

Cool fact about the train is that it is the very first battery powered CP Huntington model from Chance Rides and runs all day on a charge. They developed it for the park and now sell it to others. Hence the name Electric Eel.

[@bullwinkle2380]

Loved the alligator tacos at the Aquarium restaurant!!!

[@penxor53]

I just looked at the aquarium on bing maps, excellent use of space up against a freeway!

[@MeaganG08]

You definitely see it every time you drive into Houston. It peaks your curiosity for sure.

The Octopus Teacher, now don’t you think the diver should’ve protected him from predators? It’s like watching a friend get eaten but hey, his arm grew back. There should be warnings posted on that movie lol

I was there a few weeks ago and loved it, especially the tigers though only one was in the area and he was sleeping most of the time.

[@noneyafuckingbuisness2456]

I've been to this place a few years ago and it was the most disappointing aquarium I had ever been to. Nice to see it doing better.

The theming in this place is awesome.

[@MenaceManTV]

Wow, I was wondering how that place turned out... I worked for the company that did the water features. I did a 3D model of the entire outside building. The Marlin Fish and the huge curved water wall on the outside (didn't look like the water was running on the wall in your video) I did this work back in 2001 - 2002 So cool thanks for going really cool. I am glad the shark on the train didn't eat you... lol

[@kellykane7950]

Did you go see the metal sculptures on south 288 about 8 miles south of downtown? If you ever come back to Houston every tuesday all of the musuems in the museum district (about 4 to 5 miles south of downtown) are free. You can walk from to each one. They are practically on every corner. They even have a bicycle museum. And one of the best places to eat is ninfas on east navigation just wast of downtown.

[@HauntedTexasHunters]

Great video! Been here a number of times growing up. If you're ever in Galveston again, check out Moody Gardens! They've got an awesome aquarium and an indoor rainforest inside a giant pyramid. It's really cool!

Glad you know more about fish then I do. I had pet fish at least twice and I said never again! Almost had a beta fish a few years ago cause my one cousin got me one, but she never got the chance to get it over to me, and my aunt accidentally killed it.
