Have been there many times used to take our kids camping there during the summers. The fence at the top has been somthing my wife has never stoped talking about. There are museum's the train ride , a zoo. Camping .lots to do but the lazer show is one of the coolest thing ever... everyone should experiance this place.

[@englishatheart]

There are museum's what? If you mean more than one museum, there shouldn't be an apostrophe there. It's just "museums".

[@dragonmaid1360]

Wow what a completely over the top lazer show. Whoever planned that just said "fuck it, use everything we got then go get some more stuff as well". And yep, let's have some lady screaming the song for 45 min. Just because we can. You gotta love an 'all-in' commitment!

[@imthebossofme63]

Oh, I wish I had known you were going to be here. I live a stones throw from Stone Mountain. I can hear the fireworks at my house.

[@aliciabruder1106]

The company Breyer has made breyer models of famous civil war horses, despite what side of the war they were one. I want to get them all to honor them, they didn’t choose what side they were one, but should be remembered and honor for their bravery and courage in battle. I also want to see them in museum just to see them, though I’ll note, Comanche is labeled the last survivor of one of the battles, he wasn’t some others had survived as well but he was the most honored and remembered for it. He too is taxidermied and on display at a museum.

[@KentuckyGirl]

I thought your play-by-play of the laser show was so funny. I enjoyed watching it.

[@lewissolus5715]

This was an unexpected treat. I went there with my siblings and cousins July 4th 15 years ago. It was a spectacular laser show then and it looks like they’ve improved on it greatly. Thanks for the awesome video.

[@Carmen-z8l]

Love your narration! Thanks for another fun video!👍

[@lyzzard1117]

That was a fantastic video! Narration was engaging and fun!!

[@NOLADEEJ]

One thing I’ve never experienced for myself is Stone Mountain! I need to make it there soon.

[@elvisaustin9553]

You and me both. I enjoyed this video

[@WaruiFutago]

Wonderful combination of laser show & fireworks. Impressive...most impressive. Thank you for the commentary especially. Safe travels!

[@w1nda1monn87]

Thank you for sharing your video of Stone Mountain. It was very entertaining to watch and your narrative during the fireworks was very helpful.

[@JimAllen-Persona]

The park is huge. Was last there in 2010. Lot of these laser parts look new. Always loved the breaking the sword part.

[@vonSoest]

Natural rock formation.... haha. It’d be a helluva task to make a rock formation that size.

[@oifiismith]

Loved it, bruddah. 🤙🏽 thanks for taking us along

[@jenniferwinterrose3171]

Hoooo BOY has there been some revisions to history since the last time I went to Stone Mountain and saw the laser show. I guess it's a little gauche nowadays to just be all YO WE SOUTH WE CONFEDRATES. The laser show looks really good, but, WHUT.

[@lauraodle5816]

This was so awesome! Gave me goosebumps. 👏❤

[@williambuck8368]

Awesome vlog I was there about 40 years ago, boy did it change

[@opens11]

Hope you had a good fourth of July bagger! Thanks for all you do to provide us quality entertainment year 'round!

[@amycrane5280]

It's sad people want to erase history.

[@kevinbarbieux7673]

No one wants to erase history, they just believe that the confederacy does not deserve to be honored. The confederacy was a the enemy of the USA.

[@kevinbarbieux7673]

That’s just hilarious, the confederacy was created in a desire to leave the USA. The confederacy does not/ did not/ want to be part of the USA. The confederacy lost the war. The confederacy is dead.

[@correllian44601]

I don't wish to erase it, some of the Confederacy's generals were great tacticians whose strategies are still studied today. Lee is in that category, and he was also smart enough to know when the fight was over and it was time to surrender. But, they did commit treason, and they did attempt to split apart a country, and they did lose.

[@correllian44601]

The confederacy was a part of the USA that started a war in an attempt to split away. Then they lost, and was reabsorbed into the USA. They never really split off successfully.

[@correllian44601]

@Rob S You apparently missed my post above crediting the Confederacy's generals with their leadership and tactics, and Lee for knowing when the fight was over and it was time to surrender. I don't discredit the Confederacy completely, however they did lose, they were traitors, and they were fighting for the right to own other human beings. And they did lose. None of that means I don't respect the abilities of the Confederacy's military commanders, their contribution to history, or the downhome hospitality the South is famous for. You are starting to sound like a broken record.

[@ExitThrutheGiftShop]

Thumbs up for referencing the Neverending Story!

[@Th3Pr0digalS0n]

Went there back in 2002, absolutely epic!!!

[@mountainguru529]

Fantastic Video !

[@Frankie343]

Good video 😁👍🏻

[@HerbieHerbHerb]

Confederate President and 2 generals Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. I live near Stone Mountain. People from all walks of life visit. It’s a great melting pot of humanity.

[@andreadeamon6419]

That was incredible. Thank you for sharing that with us and have a wonderful Independence day ❤️🇺🇸❤️

[@chelseacarlson2249]

Back in the day you could put coins on the railroad and wait for the train to smoosh them. Fun stuff!

[@davidmcaninch4714]

I was born in Atlanta, Georgia. And it makes me sick when people associate the state, especially Stone Mountain, with racism. And it kinda makes me think that other people think that if you were born Georgia or any other Confederate state you’re automatically racist. It’s not true. I refuse to believe that. And Stone Mountain is a big part of my childhood.

[@realworld2494]

That's awesome

[@whitewitch1105]

Ideally enjoy your traveling videos

[@paulblart3157]

Walked up the side hiking the other day. I about died

[@barbarah9917]

This was great ty for ur hard work n sharing.😊

[@dannymartin1114]

I love stone mountain. You honestly could probably get rid of the carvings and really not lose much, the top of the rock is the real attraction. Or like what someone else said just add outkast.

[@knotrly4558]

You look like Dany Devito to me but, I always go on your channel and learn somethin new. Also inspires me to wanna go places around my area to see what the place has to offer!

[@retrob9346]

Happy 4th of july everyone that is watching this video....

[@Starlight_Silver]

Well poo... You have one of the clearest versions of the show, but you didn't play it all the way through. You're skipping around. I want to see just the Civil War part all the way through.

[@GregsGameRoom]

Somehow I don't think the bugs are as interesting as Confederate Dinosaurs...

[@RoseBrazeale]

I used to work there, actually. I left partially because I got. very tired of losing work days because the KKK would show up for events/rallies and the official response from management was just to not have the attractions be open on those days after a rally happened and nine people were arrested. Sometimes we wouldn't even know if there was going to be an event; one time an antifa lady showed up and demanded we tell her "where we were hiding the Nazis" and we were just "wh-what are you talking about?" and then we were like "okay so they're showing up tomorrow.... what do we do?" Long story short, I wasn't being paid enough to deal with any of it. If anyone is wanting to avoid the Klan, though, they normally show up in Spring, last I was aware, so. any other time of the year should be okay? though they randomly showed up in January one year and then didn't show in Spring so. they're at least a once a year deal. But anyway, yeah, "strange at times" is definitely the best way to describe all of the entertainment at Stone Mountain Park. Have you been to the Historic Square? With the historical buildings? That's the part where I had worked. Not much changes over there, but the tours can be nice. And we did education stations for field trips that I was fond of.

[@REfan001]

lol they're trying so hard to be like, "we're not glorifying traitors and racists! here's a black guy!"

[@americanproud2990]

God why change history? We never learn from it if we try to ignore it. God I hate these people today that want to change our history. We are a proud country and I am proud to be an American. God bless Carpetbagger. Loved this place when I was a kid.

[@sebbie153]

American Proud, bc monuments to racists traitors is no different than if Germany kept their Nazi and Hitler memorials. Destroying monuments honoring horrible people doesn’t change or make us forget history. We can teach America’s dark history without honoring it.

[@americanproud2990]

@@sebbie153 Racist Traitors? Wow you do not know you're history do you? Open a book and read history. Because you don't know what you are talking about. Stop trying to change history. Let me give you a little history lesson young lady. Because you haven't done yours. Robert Lee was actually against Slavery and called it a Evil practice. He never fought for the rights to own Slaves that wasn't what the civil war was about. It's was once again about Tax prices. The Yankee government was making them pay more taxes and they used there right and freedoms to fight back. Slavery only became a part of the war at the end because of Abe Lincoln. Please do you're research before you go off. Thank you.

I always appreciate you sharing actual facts and legitimately both sides to each story. It's refreshing. "Oh no a Star Wars plane!" (tie fighter ;) ). This was kind of an odd show lol. Pretty great. Now I want to know the troubling facts about Mother Teresa.

[@enozzi1]

WE LOVE STONE MOUNTAIN AND THE LASER SHOW!!! WE HAVE BEEN THERE WHEN THE HILL BURNED BECAUSE OF FIREWORKS! HAVE FUN

[@tatt2ohio]

This has to be one of the best shows ive seen. That was awesome

[@DustyWingsProductions]

Another good video..... but I had to pause it and laugh bit at: "A Star Wars plane!" Plane? HA HA HA 😂

[@conniecrawford5231]

A broken sword is a traditional sign of cessation of war or surrender or defeat. Generals sometimes surrendered their swords to the general who defeated them.

[@walterfink9782]

Very nice and impressive. As a side note, there's a walking trail, that will take you to the top of Stone Mountain. With very little to no climbing of rocks. I think it's a 2 mile round hike. Check with the proper persons on that.

[@grvonny]

Did the drones form into a Confederate flag? ...ok..

There stands Jackson. Like a stone wall.

[@conniecrawford5231]

Jefferson Davis’ horse was named Blacjkjack and Lee’s favorite horse was Traveller who died a few months after Lee and is buried next to him at Lee Chapel in Virginia. LLee had another horse Ajax which was deemed too large for him to ride comfortably so he rode Traveller.

[@pdgaelitstrat]

As well as General Jacksons horse little Sorrell.

[@THE1andONLYHairfish]

I was gonna play "Take a shot every time I find myself saying, 'Only in Georgia,'" but I forgot to buy Southern Comfort. I'm old enough to remember when the only ride at Stone Mountain was a steam-powered locomotive. That is not a joke. My mom's a Georgia native (we live in California), so several family vacations were in Georgia and points east.

[@kathyflorcruz552]

There's a weather camera at an overlook on Stone Mountain. I used to check it everyday. One day I caught a drive through wedding up there!! Georgia is a beautiful state. Happy Independence Day, patriots!🇺🇸💜🇺🇸

Lived in Georgia for ten years and have been to Stone Mountain many times. Would be a shame to remove it.

Those giant bugs made me think of the movie “Honey I Shrunk the Kids.” That movie terrified me when I was a kid.

Outstanding coverage and providing the history behind it. You the man fifty grand! Love to you and your family.

[@nancyk4595]

Jacob, thank you for showing us this vlog on the 4th of July. It has been many years since I have seen the laser light show at Stone Mountain. We lived in the Atlanta area years ago and really enjoyed visiting Stone Mountain Park. The show was awesome. I enjoyed every minute of it and really enjoyed your commentary. The train ride looked fun but back in the day it was a steam locomotive. You can walk up the mountain but I always preferred the ride up. Thanks again Jacob!

[@ethanconnell4569]

I’ve been going to Stone Mountain pretty much all my life. We love it there!

The carving is not of three generals. It is of Gen. R. E. Lee, Lt. Gen. Stonewall Jackson and President Jefferson Davis. So, 2 generals and 1 president.
