Kentucky Kingdom MY FIRST TIME! Storm Chaser, Lightning Run, Kentucky Flyer, Dog Show & Food!

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

And to this day, Sam is still stuck in the T3 restraints 😂 yup, it used to be a Six Flags park from 1998 to 2010 when amid a bankruptcy, Six Flags ceased operations of the park immediately on February 4, 2010 after the rejected their lease with the Kentucky State Fair Board. Ed Hart hoped to have it reopen that year by Memorial Day, but negotiations initially failed and it wasn't until January 2013 that the state fair board approved the lease, and the park reopened in 2014. Holiday World in Indiana was even interested in operating it!

[@leighwitty8715]

As a Ky girl, I am glad to know that Kentucky Kingdom has been purchased and may get some attention! I think it has a lot of potential but, in my opinion, from day one there has just always been something missing! You and Sam are so much fun! You live in Orlando where they have some of the most awesome theme parks in the world but you still enjoy all of the little things in smaller parks and fun touristy things! I think you all just have fun whatever you do and it’s so much fun to watch! 💕💕

[@SuperEnthused]

Yea I agree, it needs some love and it could be so much more!

[@terrysmith8539]

I think being on a road trip with Jackie would be so much fun! I love your enthusiasm Jackie you are the best!

[@SuperEnthused]

You're so sweet, Terry!!

Awesome! Anytime there are Poochies flying through air on their own accord, I'm in.

Kentucky kingdom my hole park and I love it. I know it had a bright future head of it just takes time

[@mhans79]

Jackie if you get back near Chattanooga again you guys should check out LAKE WINNEPESAUKAH. It's not very far from Chattanooga in Rossville Georgia.. It's a classic amusement park opened in 1925.

[@dvousassstnt441]

I live 20 mins away from this park and love it. Thanks for checking it out! Happy travels.

[@bobcheapek4334]

If I had a nickel, for every time Ed Hart saved the park, I'd have two nickels! Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. "No running, diving or horseplay" I guess when it comes to whether or not this park allows horses, the answer...is _neigh_

Hi guys love ❤️ going with you on your adventures enjoyed all of the videos

I go There every Once a Year and its fun there the food is great I lived in Kentucky my whole life And the best rollercoaster and Rides and movies and stuff Its a great Place!

Heck Yeah Jackie Thank U For Coming to My Home Park In KY This Park Is Awesome And Great

[@joanpazdziora5388]

What a cool road trip! I love wooden coasters too. Continue to stay safe.

[@reneebarrow4697]

Enjoyed your video. You did such good coverage of the rollercoasters as they went by. Sam did great driving while you were relaxing in the back seat of the old car.😁 Thank you for sharing your trip with us. Continue to have fun on your trip and be safe. Waiting for the next video.

[@mjam631]

Another great adventure! Thank You for sharing!

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Jackie I am really enjoying you and Sam's adventure on the road! So much fun! Keep it up.

[@VincentJ55]

That was super cool. I've never even heard of that park before. Kay and I liked it being sort of small with less crowds. (Except water park) Can't wait to see more!!!

[@bjornemccomb8262]

Never heard of this park…to be honest a little lackluster BUT I love the carnival rides at the first half like Dollywood has, brings back memories of my childhood.

[@SuperEnthused]

Yes it’s small and different, not the most impressive park but a fun and charming experience.

Hey, Jackie! I'm really hoping your next video is Holiday World! I worked there as my first job out of high school 10 years ago. It's an awesome park! Loving this series, too!

[@amymorand5723]

Thank you so much for this video. I lived in Louisville for a few years back in the early 90s. I visited Kentucky Kingdom quite a bit. It has changed a lot! Glad to see Thunder Run is still there. And, yes, the airport is not far from the park. 🙂

[@JustAlanDoingAlanThings]

One of the most unique parks I've seen. They could introduce Live action Frogger thru the middle 🤣

[@elizabethandbriceida]

Kentucky is amazing and the dog show !! thank you for sharing 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰

[@DougTheSnowMan]

I was there for my first time as well, I saw you filming by StormChaser and the front gift shop, haha. Being able to Marathon StormChaser with no line was crazy. T3 was running later in the day, around 6, and easily had the longest line in the park, you didn't miss much by not riding it. The ride op on Thunder Run was one of the best of our entire trip too, dude was hilarious.

[@piaborgards6318]

Wow, second post. Love your road trips and already got a lot of ideas for our next year vacation. You and Sam are so excited about new things, it is just amazing to watch both of you together. Have a great time and greetings from Bavaria.❤

[@cataylor07]

Glad to see you visit our local park here in Kentucky. I have experienced the ups and downs of this park since it opened in 1987. Our family enjoys the water park but I’m in hopes that their are plans to add more rides in the future. I wish I would have known you would have been there. My family would have loved to meet you both. Love your videos and safe travels.

[@Ed-R]

Hi Jackie and Sam. Love the Fun Facts by Sam about the Coasters. Sam must have felt at home on Tin Lizzie's. Another park to put on my places to visit. Stay safe, have Fun, and on to the next Adventure.

[@mhans79]

I grew up in Louisville as a teen. Kentucky Kingdom was the first place I ever rode a rollercoaster, Thunder Run. Also remember when they opened Hurricane Bay. So many great summer memories with friends as a teen.

[@apmack333]

We were just here a few days ago. We got a great deal on Groupon. We did the water park on the first day (Friday) and it was not very crowded. We went back on Saturday to do the coasters only. The water park was SO crowded. We all had a great time though. Super friendly park and kind staff.

[@SuperEnthused]

Smart way to do it!!

[@42Finder]

I'm loving seeing all the new parks, you should do Hershey Park.

[@LaurieSomma]

So fun. Can't wait to see where you go next!

Kentucky Kentucky was insane when Chang was still around, scariest ride ever.

[@Elyse1997]

This place is yet another interesting stop! I love seeing new areas to eventually explore

[@cklo8799]

This park looks like a lot of fun!! We have it on our to do list once our daughter gets to 48” as she loves thrill rides. Definitely a lot she can go on! Thanks for sharing this with us and love your road trips!

[@tomklock568]

Fun again! You are taking well to horn honking in a tunnel 😂😂 I've never been to Kentucky or that area either so glad to see places I have never had the chance to go! Oh and I forgot to mention that no wonder they are good people if owned by Silver Dollar City and Dollywood; they seem like quality organizations. Thanks J & S!

[@jameshebert5430]

The antique cars (moon cars) at Six Flags St. Louis are from the the St. Louis World's Fair!

[@cozy.kendall]

I'm so excited to see everywhere you visit! I really love these road trip vlogs and getting to see local theme parks.

[@ChinaDollTravels]

I love how you are visiting all parks in different states so cool 😎 and that’s cool 😎 they have fair rides and roller coasters 🎢 and never crossed a street at theme park before

[@PurpleGermanShepherd13]

So fun that they had a dog show featured there for a bit! It reminds me of when I saw a dog show at my home park, Canobie Lake Park. After their show, you could go up and meet the dogs and pet them, and that was my favorite part 💜 Canobie also has antique cars, and we have an old picture of me as a little kid on one of them.

[@dwood2342]

"I've never had to cross the street inside of theme park before". LOL At Carowinds in the NC/SC stateline runs through the middle of the park, so you're crossing back and forth the state line all day

[@1anastudent]

Yes! The one thing they need is a dark ride. I agree. I've been saying this for years. I think the waterpark side was the expansion so park entrance is the old side

[@eddie2betancourt898]

That was fun guys

[@madizzle90]

This is my home park. There’s only one roller coaster (Lightning Run) in the front half of the park, so the line for that gets long compared to the other coasters.

[@exinilda]

You guys are awesome! Loving the road trip adventure Jackie and Sam! Can’t wait to see where you go next 🥰❤️🙏safe driving!

[@patrickfairchild2330]

TIN LIZZIE - I'M THERE

[@joysharpe1500]

Carowinds in NC/SC has a water park included. It was still cold when you were here, so it may not have been open yet.

I missed you by one day. I was at Kentucky Kingdom the day before you, at the start of my coaster road trip. I have always loved this park! It's well maintained, well taken care of, incredible rides! And they never seem to get long lines in the dry park. I got 40 rides on Storm Chaser over a 2-day span on a weekend.

[@fairlyamused]

Since you like dark rides Kennywood near Pittsburgh(the park of our childhoods) has two if you get to make it there. It also has a dark indoor Wild mouse coaster called Exterminator.

[@NessieMay]

I love the old timey cars, they really take me back to my childhood. 🛺🤩

[@3rdDimensionV4U]

Mega summer road trip! I'm loving it!

[@muthergoose4084]

Kentucky Kingdom is a fun little park. They really try to give the best experience with what they have and a good way to spend day. And its not terribly expensive either. . Pleas promise me to stop by a skyline chili and get a fiveway when you are in the Ohio area. I see you are making your way to KI and I am sure CP. Can't wait for you to visit some of my favorite parks.

[@ashleawashington4146]

Love that Kentucky kingdom is thriving still! When I lived there it was still under six flags!

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

Honestly we are extremely lucky that this park is still around today. If it wasn't for Ed Hart this would have been bulldozed long ago to make way for something new for the Kentucky State Fair

[@freyahunt4977]

I grew up in Louisville and the airport is right there , just on the other side of the highway . If you fly out of there , you can see the park and coasters from the airport windows 😊

[@JoyBean]

This looks like a great amusement park and looks like it offers sweet rides for “kids”of all ages. Love that the waterpark is nearby so one can choose to do both. Those little car rides are always fun. I remember when we went to an Amusement Park was little and we went on one and our child was tall enough and old enough to drive. Glad that Sam was able to get out of the T3 ride. The dog show looked fun.

[@javamt4]

It’s so fun seeing all these parks I didn’t even know about. You bring so much positivity it’s great to watch. Enjoy the rest of your trip!

@@SuperEnthused That's also why the rides are not very tall, they have strict height limits set by the FAA

Regarding the 1987/1989 thing on the shirts - the parks first opened in ‘87 but went bankrupt and didn’t open in 1988. It then reopened in 1989.

Safe travels and look forward to the next video.
