This is my home park. So glad to see a vlogger go to Silverwood. We are pass holders and just love it.

So do you live around it?

Me too. Wish he showed Boulder Beach.:). Next time Jacob.

[@OldMovieRob]

I get the feeling you'd much rather be going on dark rides but thanks for braving these coasters for us Jacob.

[@judedecoff1672]

Stunt pilot looks SUPER FUN!!

[@chrishutchinson2297]

Jacob , i'm a meaning to say something to you. I remember when I first started watching you how afraid you were to get on some of these roller coasters and other rides. You are now a pro. Look how any you rode today and some twice. And that drop one. Not only that but you are helping Jen get over her fears. I am so proud of you. I love your channel. Love you both

[@meow-meow1]

That was cool someone recognized you! I could never ride those coasters, so I appreciate your sacrifice! 😅

[@user-cn6de7xe2o]

Wow- you are getting so much better conquering your fear of roller coasters! Thanks for this cool video! I know you made the day for a lot of fans who recognized you at Silverwood. 🥰

[@derekthell1019]

You make alot of people's days brighter and happier thank you Jacob for all you do I always look forward to your everyday adventures

[@mollysmith1226]

I giggle so much when I watch his videos 😊

[@TheCoasterLisa]

Fun fact, Aftershock originally operated at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois. It was always down for maintenance at that park and since Silverwood purchased it, it has been running consistently as they troubled shoot the issues. So it’s rare when it breaks down.

[@chaosghostalpha]

Thank you so much for visiting so many amusement parks in the last time.

[@ShelleeGraham]

6:42 Gunfights, Sasquatch and a possum drinking a beer 🍺. What more can you ask for? 😅

[@johnchambers8528]

It was nice to see that they used a real steam engine to pull the train. It also was a relatively long ride with the gun fight at the silver mine.

[@mattropolis99]

You were smart for driving right past Portland and heading east to a cool spot - and I say this as a 20 year resident of what used to be the once fun, now sad, city of Portland

[@Savagemister]

Jacob, you are a friggin trooper to put yourself through a buffet of coasters for the vlog.

[@Joemobo]

My favorite is when he screams 😂 makes me giggle.

[@bartplays3392]

If only you were there last week!!! I visited for the first time last week and LOVED IT! Glad you made it around this week!

[@oocombz]

If someone else said it my bad but I think 2024 should be the year of the wet sock not the pressed penny. Lol 🤣

[@MP-gm5gg]

Barn storming roller coaster. Wow. Way cool your a champ to ride these coasters , thank you Carpet Bagger.

[@janicewright6375]

No amount of money would get me on that coast Stunt Pilot. A brave soul you are.

[@OdogRuby77]

It's no where near as thrilling as Aftershock, the big green and blue inverted boomerang at the back of the park.

[@nikoclesceri2267]

it's one of the better coasters there, Aftershock is the one I hate the most. the beginning bit where it goes backwards, and you have to have complete trust in the safety lock because if they fail, you're falling hundreds of feet face first.

[@janicewright6375]

@@nikoclesceri2267 Good Lord. I know I couldn't ride that one!

[@krice7525]

As a Sasquatch Girl, I really enjoyed the Bigfoots scattered here and there! 👣👣👣❤

[@Mr.GabrielAngelGoldenBurton6]

Great video!! As always... Keep up the great work!

[@TheCoasterLisa]

This park used to be a dust bowl but as the years have passed it now has grown trees, foliage, and flowers. They have their own greenhouse onsite. So it’s become one of the most beautiful family owned parks in the country. Fun fact, the owner, Gary Norton, was at auction for the classic steam train and won the bidding war over Disney. Yes, Disney! Another fun fact, the majority of patrons are from the Seattle side of the region. We’re very fortunate to have this regional park in the northwest.

[@SonofBoss2000]

The best coaster to ever operate at Great America tbh

[@ShelleeGraham]

30:07 Love to see The Carpetbagger 💼 FANS in Idaho!

[@juliodelafuentes3381]

My kids also send some love they love your videos they watch it with me every morning they always copy the part when you say “ hey you all carpetbagger here live!!” It’s awesome thank you for everything you do

[@jericho2walsh479]

Oh I love Silverwood! It was my first job and I worked there for about three years! Loved every moment of it

[@thomaswyarbrough]

I am a current employee at Silverwood, Glad you have visited our theme park! You should come back in October to check out Scarywood!

[@AwkwardAnxiousJennifer]

I really appreciate you riding all those coasters for us, Jacob. I HATE the feeling of falling and hate the feeling of being upside down even more, not to mention I LOATHE the feeling of wind blowing in my face, so I haven't ridden a coaster in probably more than 20 years. Even if I wanted to, I don't think my arthritic back would handle all that jostling well. So I love seeing your POV footage of all these coasters I will never ride. The view is the best part of the ride without all the parts I hate!

[@TattooMommy1189]

That train ride was amazing

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

That was almost as much fun as being there! Thanks🤗❤️🐝

[@heidim5110]

So glad you made it to Silverwood! Very fun vlog, and thank you for going on all those roller coasters for us

[@c.rogers____]

This coaster, tremors, reminds me of the Beast,at kings island 😂

[@sarahbowman7566]

Jacob you absolute legend! Arrow Corkscrew coasters are sooo jenky to ride as are most woodies, but you did them for us to come along... respect!

[@shannonstoop6110]

A lot of people from Calgary drive down there in the summer as we really don't have any decent theme parks.

[@vincentschmitt7597]

Makes me smile to see you riding a coaster and maybe even enjoying it a bit. A long way from your traumatic childhood experience.

[@kennethgustavison1812]

It appeared to me that Aftershock was not in the station, but failed to make the circuit and valleyed between the loop and the reverser tower. Maybe the catch car didn't engage? Charles Lindbergh said that riding the Coney Island Cyclone was more fun than barnstorming in a plane, so you got to do BOTH on Stunt Pilot. Looks like a fun day at a beautiful park. THANKS!

[@travis303]

I tell you what, Mr. Carpetbagger, you have a dream job pretty much being on permanent vacation but there is nothing in the world that could get me on any of those roller coasters. I may envy your life but you can keep that.

[@mollysmith1226]

I'm so glad he takes us along 😊

[@carolplummer7182]

I am proud of you for all the rides and roller-coaster you went on

[@8mom8son8]

Thank you! Love a great coaster ride in the front row!! Tremors was fast moving 😂

[@MrRyguy2112]

That park's roller coaster area really knows how to people move by the looks of it. Fairly short rides along with short lines! Plus 2 trains going.

[@robylove9190]

Jacob!! You're going to hit 500000 this week ❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@history_leisure]

This park has a close relationship with Rocky Mountain Construction just up the road. They did theming and prototyped their wood and hybrid track on the park's wooden coasters. Some say Stunt Pilot was intended for Kentucky Kingdom, but the park fell on hard times due to COVID-leading it to be sold to Hershend (who also tried to acquire Silverwood Around the same time, but declined)

[@nikoclesceri2267]

Silverwood was running at full capacity during covid so they probably helped it not fall on hard times

[@dukemexplorer481]

Bet your going to feel those tremor bumps for days

[@svendubronovic8343]

Best parts of Silverwood are the train ride and water park. It does have a very fun water park and the wave pool has pretty massive waves.

[@linneaviking6360]

This is my home park, I go at least once a year I'm so glad you had a good time, I always tell people what a hidden gem it is

[@scottgeraci5751]

That’s cool you’re there. This was one of our favorites growing up. We’d camp nearby and make a 2-3 day trip out of it.

[@maryelmaguire3161]

This is very popular in the PNW. You weren’t far from the largest dam in the USA and North America. You could have seen the laser light show that is shown on the face of the dam. Memorial Day through Labor Day. What an incredible sight to see. And yes Grand Coulee Dam is Bigger than Hoover

[@gr8scott198]

I'm 56 and I rode the Corkscrew several times as a kid at Knott's berry Farm. I recognized it as soon as I saw it, but it's painted darker colors now. I think it used to be yellow, red, or orange. TY for bringing back great old memories, and creating new ones.

I seem to recall reading about a Silverwood that was a mining town in Utah, and not a theme park in Idaho, but it was a long time ago, so who knows.

[@drmypepper]

I worked there for two years! Super fun place I would go all the time as a kid. The rides are super awesome and SAFE. I was an operator and I believe Stunt Pilot is the safest roller coaster they have (though my least favorite to operate 😅)

[@michelleneal6860]

I was looking at Aftershock thinking, that must be a Vekoma Boomerang, like Deja Vu that was at SF Great America. That's because it IS Deja Vu from SF Great America. Lol!

[@BlackburnBigdragon]

That corkscrew coaster is a type of coaster called a "Loop Screw". They were made by Arrow Dynamics. Arrow coasters, especially their Loop Screws, tend to be REALLY REALLY rough. Your head tends to bounce around in the corkscrew, and their turns are as rough as an old wooden coaster. The only type of Arrow Dynamics designed coaster that I've ever been on that wasn't a rough ride was in "Riverside Park" that later became Six Flags New England. It was called "The Loop Coaster". They painted it black in the 80's and renamed it "The Black Widow". The only reason it wasn't rough is that there were no turns in it. You started on a station at the top of a hill. You went down the hill, through the loop, up the hill on the other side, where you rolled into a second station, stopped, and then were pushed backwards down the hill and through the loop to the original station. That one was smooth. But it wasn't trying to do anything but roll down a hill and go straight through a loop. The most painful Arrow Dynamics Coaster I ever went on was "The Great American Scream Machine" at Six Flags Great Adventure. That thing literally beat the snot out of you. It near gave me a concussion in the corkscrew. And it caused a lot of injuries, I understand. I'm GLAD they scrapped that one. For a LONG time, Arrow was the only game in town when it came to these type of looping steel coasters. But man... they were ROUGH.

[@history_leisure]

Would be nice to add an Amtrak stop in Athol because 1. Silverwood is pretty far from any other amusement park 2. there is already a thruway service between Spokane and Cour d'Alane, so it could serve as the stop for Cour d'Alane. The only drawback is that the existing service in Idaho, the Empire Builder, splits in Spokane with one branch to Portland (paralleling the Columbia River) and the other to Seattle (through the Alpine Lakes and Everett). There used to be another train between Spokane and Seattle via Yakima and reaching Seattle from a junction in Auburn called the North Coast Hiawatha. Maybe Idaho and Amtrak could add it if they restore that service?

Good thing you got on stunt pilot before it broke down later in the day. The train for stunt pilot got stuck going up the chain driven incline. I ran into you in line for the corkscrew coaster that same day actually.

[@reese9030]

You are a beast for riding all those coasters. I was worried that you were going to have a panic attack when the drop tower was going up. You should get a Chums or Spiderwire neoprene eye glass strap so you would be able to safely leave your glasses on without concern that they would fly off. If you’re like me you can’t see much without eyeglasses. That looked like a very large and fun park to go to. Thanks for another adventure.
