Cedar Point - Spring 2024 Visit - Sandusky, OH

[@MarieLouiseLudwig]

This was my first video from you and I LOVED it!!! I worked at Cedar Point while in college 1980-83 and have not been back. My train is still there - I was a train girl 2 summers - I see guys on it now, BUT, my Space Spiral (summer 82) is history. I hardly recognized the place. Our dorms are gone ... new hotels and coasters and rides and more. And camels!! Thank you!

[@blakeogilvie1002]

Nothing like the smell of a fresh Carpetbagger video in the morning.

[@MikeWeiner]

Smells like... FUN! Adventure! Friends :)

[@scottwebster5211]

Cue ride of the Valkyries

[@nicolelol]

lets elaborate on this smell

[@DWedding]

It's a mix between cotton candy, fog machine, and Pirates of the Carribean ride. Good times!

[@blakeogilvie1002]

It's the smell of compressed air....

[@dr.michaelcinquino4530]

Great vids as usual. When I get home from work my family and I enjoy the places that you take us. We look forward to your excellently done videos. A perfect end to a day at work. We have voted you our best you tuber. Thanks for your hard work. I know it must be difficult, Our family.

[@umrmech84]

"A big, friendly camel!" GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! LOL!

[@danielrockwell3910]

The arcade machine is called the "Kiddie Coaster" and it includes Blue Streak and Gemini. They had one for many years in the Sandusky Mall (might still be there; I haven't paid attention the last few times I've been in the mall)

[@robylove9190]

I'm glad you got 2 of the 3 parks done. Have fun at #3.

[@ville666sora]

I was just thinking about going to Cedar Point for the first time this weekend, so I searched "Cedar Point 2024" on youtube for a better idea of what the park is like, and found that my favorite amusement park "vlogger" uploaded this like an hour ago. What a coincidence lol.

[@liztudorr]

Cedar point is amazing. You need to go!!

[@ChuckMorrison-cf7mj]

Best theme park video as always thanks Carpetbagger

[@samuelgray2600]

I like the year of the Ferris Wheel idea. Would love to ride with you!

[@stevehill6062]

Grew up in S.W. Michigan, Paw Paw, Kalamazoo specifically, and used to live for the 2-3 trips to THE Point every year!! It's so hard for me to understand how anyone could NOT love the absolute rush and thrill of the roller coasters! Now 66 and a right leg amputee, would LOVE the opportunity to ride them again! Gotta agree with @blakeogilvie1002! Look forward to your videos daily! Just can't imagine being afraid of the coasters, especially when the safety records are spotless. Reckon that there's a first time for everything though, right? Think that adds to the rush of the whole experience though. Thank you carpet bagger for the work you do, and for keeping us entertained!

[@mollysmith1226]

When I think of Kalamazoo, I think of the Air Zoo. My husband and I live in Cadillac and go there every year

[@suzannefrench6613]

I worked there, one summer, in the early 1990's. I almost didn't recognize the park. I haven't managed to make it back to Cedar Point but was glad to visit, again, through your video.

[@horseplop9]

Hard to beat Cedar Point. The Peninsula itself is Awesome. Maverick is my Favorite coaster there. Nicely done Jacob

[@vickymorriskeen5817]

Ooh! This is a great chance for me to ask this question! My sister and I have been to Cedar point about a dozen times or more. We love it! But we ALWAYS are aching and feel aweful after riding Maverick. May I ask how tall you are? My sister is about 5'3" and feels -terrible- after riding it. Headaches, shoulders etc. I am 5'7" and I feel achey, but not as bad as her. So I'm trying to figure out if it really is a height issue with how their seats in the cars are built

[@jameshoover7798]

@@vickymorriskeen5817 Don't place your heads into the headrest. Lean your head and neck forward and look into the curves. I last rode it 9/14/24

[@-K_J-]

I've been in those arcade machines oh my god!!! the Schuylkill Mall used to have one. Sadly that building hasn't been standing for years now.

[@goofyrulez7914]

Love that skyline filled with coasters!

[@elf5012]

Thanks for taking us along. This was so much fun. I remember the beautiful Cedar Point park from many years ago when I went there with my family.

[@jmorgan5252]

Thank you Jacob for sharing a Carousel ride with us! I'm glad to see you are still interacting with Camels without getting bit

[@jeffd1126]

Camels got out just a bit ago. They heard Carpetbagger was there a week ago.

[@zacharyeversole]

In the arcade version it was blue streak and mean streak I believe. Mean streak got re-tracked by RMC and is now Steel Vengance. Best coaster I’ve ever ridden.

[@nancy-r6b8j]

:) so glad you came to Cedar Point, went there every year as a teenager, its been a while since i have been there. I enjoyed your time there. thank you

[@trainwreck398]

Been dying to get out to Cedar Point but life keeps getting in the way.

[@aradder]

Same. I've actually never been but it's my dream. This is a fantastic park trip video, thank you so much Jacob!

[@Heatherofscots]

I'm up for Ferris wheel 2025. I'm usually a single rider myself. I am guessing King's Island for the next park (or maybe Kennywood). I was at Waldameer and didn't see you so I am ruling out that nearby park 😃

[@Savagemister]

That camera looks awesome. Because of you showing it, I now know it exists and must have one lol

[@shellybean6979]

Me and my boyfriend were lucky enough to run into you at the Glass Blowing Theater! Thanks for taking a minute to chat with us first timers from Cali! I regret not asking for a selfie, but I knew you were busy! It was a pleasure and hopefully we'll see you if we make it back! Keep up the helpful videos!

[@CindyKrueger]

Yes, you’re describing the feelings I remember from riding the Blue Streak in 1970. It was very creaky even then. It has been many years since I visited the park so I appreciate your tour.

[@HollyLoyer]

I have been watching his channel for several years now. I was living in SC then I moved to Ohio back in November I got married and been up here since, I just recently got a job at Cedar Point and I can't believe Jacob was there!

[@mariehendrick7173]

Hi Jacob the weather looks beautiful... Great to see the season Is up and running again...I really enjoy watching potter around all these wonderful parks.... Wishing you well Mate XXX

[@OldMovieRob]

Alright, love the slo-mo Cedar Point train skeletons and the creepy music!

[@skaylscraft]

Dang I just missed you! I was there on Sunday. Got the season pass this year for the first time ever. Love it there!

[@Robynplantgal]

Your video editing and quality have improved far beyond the amazing content you’ve already been producing. Your new camera is amazing! I felt like I was right there with you! Thank you for keeping me company. 🙏

[@NicoleeMart]

Thanks for the video, saw you when you were at the glass blowing demo.

[@mollysmith1226]

You're so lucky 😮😊

[@michellek8553]

I like the pressed pennies the snoopy one sounds cute

[@AbigailLewis-j3j]

Went to Cedar Point back in the 90's, and the Blue Streak coaster is the only ride I remember. Great video, Jacob!

[@mikemueller7177]

We love watching your videos as you travel. Amazed at your pressed penny collection. Do you have any idea how many there are? Keep up your incredible videos.

[@Melissa-hg1hi]

I would love to see you visit knotts berry farm. I have never been so I can enjoy the park through your videos.

[@loravaloo55]

He has been but he definitely needs to go back.

[@aaronstephens4435]

Wish i could have been there with my daughters! We would have rode the Faris wheel with you. Always awesome to see you visit my home park!

[@adventureswithrae7053]

The other coaster was the Mean Streak which is now Steel Vengeance. I love Cedar Point. I worked there during college and met my wife there.

[@metaridley0015]

Used to see the Blue Streak virtual ride a lot at malls and arcades back in the day. I was too old to fit in it, but I did eventually make it to Cedar Point and rode the real thing, great little coaster!

[@LinecookThorJamiethaxton]

Awesome video as always Jacob keep up the awesome video be safe out there hope they get the bugs worked out for the new ride

[@RNRCoasting]

It was nice to see you at Cedar Point

[@CelticShadow75]

100% yes!! I would be an honor to hop aboard a Ferris wheel with the Carpetbagger!!! I'm a season pass holder at Hershey Park, I also live not far from Dorney Park and Knobles!

[@ivorythebean]

OMG YOUR CHANNEL HAS GROWN SO MUCH! happy 500k!

[@docnecrotic]

Something about all the people staring at your camera for prolonged periods of time cracks me up a little. The power of curiosity.

[@tylerdavis127]

The girl at the beginning reprimanding her partner made me laugh.

[@shanejohnson5551]

Gemini is the other option on the game. Chuck e. cheese has it still.

[@liztudorr]

@@tylerdavis127that was so funny to watch because he took an opportunity to be in the video😭

[@alliekuma4234]

When I went there for a school trip 20 years ago, a tornado started to form but fortunately didn't touch down. It turned windy and pitch black in under 10 seconds. Everyone was running around panicking and I took shelter in the arcade while it downpoured the rest of the time. I've been back multiple times since then, but that's what I always think of. Lol Raptor will always be my favorite. Glad you finally got to ride Blue Streak!

[@jdski8926]

was just there last weekend was so much fun best ride is steel vengeanges

[@creativedragon9545]

Come to Kings Island during Haunt! Its a great time for some night rides, the scarezones are super fun and the houses are a BLAST

[@carliec8362]

I’ll be there in two weeks, almost crossed paths. Maybe one day… (crossing fingers for Pigeon Forge in July)

[@toddhensley880]

Always good to see a Cedar Point trip!

[@dontioraul6946]

One of my favorite places on earth! I need to get a new charlie brown yellow shirt!! It faded lol thanks again Jacob mayne

[@griselatorregrosa8542]

Jacob...please enjoy the rides even if you cannot do video. There are pov footage that park can give for you to see.

[@syedhamidi5643]

60 years and still going strong 🤯 imagine 3 generations riding the same ride. Great vid Jacob 🎉

[@SoCalDan530]

Lovin yer new camera. Very nice picture, and Cedar Point is truly a beautiful amusement park

[@Midwesterny]

Cedar point is my childhood, obsessed with that place!!!! 🎢

[@davidporter5565]

The gatekeeper an awesome ride so smooth and so much fun

[@sophiehanssel2017]

I SO WISH I could go to Cedar Point

[@niecey7492]

Awesome video! I have never been to Cedar Point. Always great to visit through your videos.

[@Dori0725]

You should visit Dorney Park in Allentown, Pa. on June 29. They will be celebrating the 100 th anniversary of the Thunderhawk roller coaster. This is a Cedar Fair park.

[@mikerocks56]

There were 2 camels that escaped from the Cedar Point petting zoo and were running down a crowded path. Look up the video it’s pretty wild. I mention it here Jacob, as I know you have a fondness for Ohio camels.

[@cboxman]

I remember the arcade "ride" you're referring to, I think the othe coaster was Gemini. I rode that a lot at my local mall, loved it

[@StephenBessinger]

I love your attitude about the smash pennies. Let’s get all 9

[@Sasskitten]

I remember when I was a kid the blue streak didn't have the seat dividers like they do now. Now I feel like a squashed sardine when riding it.

[@GMA_love_you]

You are awesome. I have a grandson who is 12 and afraid of heights so i love watching your videos to find places who has rides that he will get on. Thanks for the ideas and thanks for the videos

[@jennyvezina4551]

Cedar Point is my absolute favorite theme park!! The blue streak brings back many memories as it was the very first rollercoaster I ever road as a kid! Thank YOU for all these wonderful videos, I look forward to watching them every day!!!

[@cherylforson1538]

Love, love, love your videos!! Keep 'em coming!!

[@dieselcueni8407]

Yes let’s do year of the Ferris wheel, I’ve been wanting to see you at cedar point forever!!!

[@jenniferjones-edwards9729]

The Top Thrill Chill sounds like a drink we made at the skating rink in the 80s called a Suicide! You mix all the fountain sodas together, except for diet! For some odd reason, it was delicious!😊

[@karentucker2161]

I remember doing this but nit at the skating rink. Didn't got to one much because it was just not my thing.

[@RealGhostHawk38]

the Solano mall in Fairfield California used to have a Cedar Point machine, it was put next to all the other childrens rides which was placed next to the childrens playground in the mall, im not sure if its still there but i definitely rode it a few times as a kid 👍

[@angelah9383]

I like the 2025 a Ferris wheel idea. I’m terrified of them, but it would be awesome to ride one with The Carpetbagger!

[@cherylzamule888]

I love the Carpetbagger and Cedar Point! A great combination 👌 👍

[@MrWyrd]

watching this now at the end of the season is so sad cause of when he starts talking about top thrill 2 at about 35:30 and says " maybe itll be open before the summers over"..... i conquered my fear of coasters this year, visiting cedar point for the first time. it took me a couple trips to the park to work my way up the ladder of intense coasters but by the end of it all i was fully acclimated and i wanted to ride top thrill sooo bad.

[@shariklase1546]

this is Scott and Shari, we watch you every day.. Better than a tv show!

[@mollysmith1226]

❤I agree

[@sarahbowman7566]

Cedar Downs... We have one remarkably similar here called the Derby Racer at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, UK.

[@tomphillips2473]

I grew up in the Toledo area and sometimes you don't realize what you have until its gone... we moved to the Memphis area about 13yrs ago and the nearest amusement park is about 6 hrs away... We were home visiting this week and took the family to CP yesterday, still a blast! I suspect your heading to Kings Island next ;-) Its only a few hours south of there.

[@bg199083]

I LOVE going to Cedar Point when I was a kid. My favorite coaster is Millennium Force. Hope you have a great day Jacob! 😊😊

[@DakotahCole]

My friend actually owned the full length VHS tape to those simulated rides you were talking about… There was like six or seven of them and a history snippet about both of them and the park itself. It was nice ha ha ha brings back memories.

[@chelseyalexis2913]

Currently watching this video while sporting my new Carpetbagger T-shirt!!! This makes me want to go back to Cedar Point so bad! I'm guessing the next amusement park will be Kings Island ;) but perhaps I'm wrong! Thanks for the videos, Jacob! You ROCK!

[@xoxoxoxoxo7997]

15 minutes in between drinks 😂 wow they think of everything

[@jacobbouma6357]

I'm at Cedar Point this weekend! Sadly TT2 is still closed but the rides are some of the best I've been on

[@keithjohnson8636]

I know Jacob says editing isn't his strong suit but I feel like it's been great. Love the Bonesville music! New camera looks great too.

[@EmberDogOfFire]

I laughed when I seen the camel, it escaped the other day! I live really close so it was all over the news and tiktok lol

[@nataliecrow6533]

I remember that arcade ride. Not a fan of wooden coasters, they hurt. I remember the old stand up rides would hurt as well. My favorite are inverted they are the most comfortable. I passed Worlds of Fun, I never went to that park as well. We love Knotts & are planning to go there just before Thanksgiving, would be cool to see you.

[@Toonamp]

Ha, it’s ironic because Cedar point actually had those roller coaster simulators in their arcades. I’ll have to look it up, but I believe the other coasters were the iron dragon, Mean Streak, the Magnum, and the Gemini. But I’ll have to double check that.

[@Duckkis]

Oh my god I loved those skeletons! Wish I could one day visit Boneville in person.

[@aidand5941]

Got lucky with top thrill 2 and was able to ride it on May 11th right before it closed

[@craigholstine2154]

Good Morning " YA ALL " Jacob the Carpetbagger

[@allenpedrick6502]

Love Jacob with the barnyard animals!!!!!

[@paulfuryes203]

Love the parks. Great video, Jacob. I'm looking forward to the next one. Take care, my friend, and as always, safe travels.

[@cynthiacroston2729]

Probably best vlog of cedar point. This has been my home park that I have visited many times.

[@michaelloveee3269]

Love this video...i.use to go there all the time before my heart attack...

[@cherilg88]

There used to be a funhouse/haunted house there back in the 70's when I was young. You would have loved it! I haven't been to Cedar Point since 1988. It's neat to see things still there that I remember from my childhood! Cedar downs, the train and boneville, big ferris wheel, calypso (my cousins and i rode 30x in a row). There also used to be a ferry boat ride that was themed on "bad" Native Americans.

[@57Banjoman]

Our big treat for the summer, when we were kids, was our day at Cedar Point! Lots of good memories, staying at the old Breakers hotel. I loved the Earthquake dark ride, but my favorite was the train ride through Boneville. So glad it is still there!

[@HelloIAmClutch]

Fun fact: That carousel style of Cedar Downs actually has a THIRD version still standing at Blackpool Pleasure Beach in the UK!

[@bostiebean]

Very cool!! Thank you for sharing

[@elijahvincent985]

Definitely followup Cedar Point with Kings Island! :) Might run into ya during my Amazon delivering!

[@maxpower6658]

Have been to CP one time about 25 years ago. The coasters were fantastic then. Would love to go back.

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Morning Jacob 🤓📸 Sandusky Ohio u in Ohio will have bad luck lol cedar point looks fun to be at, thanks for sharing this. Merry go round is my favorite as well. You take care have fun.

[@Bo-hb3eo]

Nice video! Brings back a lot of memories. I grew up in Toledo. So I love Cedar point. You know the bucket ride or the cable cars that you rode they used to have one that went from the middle of the park to old town. It was several minutes and it was awesome. When you were a teenager, you had time to do some things if you know what I mean. My guess on the next park would be King‘s Island.

[@maycausedizziness]

2025 Year of the Ferris Wheel. I'm all about it!

[@Suenami89]

You were at TT2 media day? My best friend and I actually wanted to get tickets to that! Unfortunately it was not within our means at the time..but would have been so cool to go AND see you there!

[@queenjenene6461]

My son rode the arcade ride you speak of in a Fudruckers around 2001

[@zacharysherrill4749]

Would definitely like to see a trip to Carowinds. Love for you to ride the Fury 325 coaster. Even though you can’t film, I think you’d enjoy it, no loops, just tall, and the smoothest coaster I’ve ever ridden.

[@Nicholas.mala1997]

The arcade simulator thing when I was a kid had Blue streak, Gemini, and the one at the mall had the special 3some with Mantis as well. It was routinely everywhere at one point lol.

[@dylanbooth4018]

Ferris wheels sounds like a great idea for the 2025 summer season 👍
