Anakeesta - United Tastes of America - Eating Around the Country and Riding Mountain Coasters!

[@carlychristianson]

Carpetbagger, I just wanted to say that when I was dealing with some horrible anxiety a few years ago, watching you just wander museums and show off cool exhibits was easily one of the best ways for me to calm down and let my mind relax for a bit. To this day I keep coming back when I have an off day. Appreciate it, king

[@MikeWeiner]

Same here. A few years ago my fiancee died of cancer, and all I could think of was all the fun places we'd never get to go. But through Jacob I've been enjoying discovering just how much is out there, just how much fun there is to be had out there, and more and more I'm ready to get back out there....thanks to Jacob.

[@DavidLaMorte]

It’s funny how you know that these videos are made just as an authentic interest in these places and it can be a life like to a like minded person. Maybe everyone should just do that thing they were thinking about doing. Not just for themselves but some other like minded person.

[@Retromicky82]

Has someone who is currently going through mental health issues currently his and jenns vids make me smile and helps so much .

[@BenniMonaco]

Me as well, i started getting panic attacks for anxiety and complex post traumatic stress disorder. Been with the bagger since the beginning and always puts me in a good mood

[@idurner]

That scream was PRICELESS

[@RobOlgatree]

The things he does for us 🤣

[@Gh0st.B0i]

​@@RobOlgatreegotta love it!

[@MikeWeiner]

Jacob the Carpetbagger and A Study in Fear and Terror. Case #1 begins at 10:21 with his famous catchphrase "And our chariot...awaits." Notice how Jacob goes from "I'm ready!" to "I hate this!" in less than three seconds! Case #2 begins at 36:31 with an abbreviated "And our chariot awaits here." Now notice how in just a few seconds, Jacob goes from having the best time on a mountain coaster at 37:10 to once again petrified, terrified, and any other "ified" words you can think of. But think of this...he does it just for US! Just so we can vicariously enjoy the thrills from the safety of our screens. Thank you, Jacob. I've been having a TERRIBLE business trip, and you made it all so much easier. :) THANKS AGAIN! Time to up my Patreon support! :) And hey, when you bring Jenn to Anakeesta, can she ride those and have a cam with her too? I'd love to see how she enjoys it!!!

[@Cotystevens]

Just got engaged at anakeesta last weekend!

[@mollysmith1226]

❤❤❤congratulations 🎊

[@Cotystevens]

@@mollysmith1226 thank you!

[@bassplayercliff1961]

Remember, a man isn’t complete until he is married, than he’s finished! Lol!

[@BearLee]

Awww! You definitely deserve to control your own speed, Mr. Bagger. You're awesome. Your videos ALWAYS a treat to enjoy. We, your audience, laugh with you, Always.

[@derekthell1019]

Just wanted to thank you you've become an everyday watch in my household I love and watch every video you post and thank you too your loved ones for allowing you to put a smile on people's faces everyday !!!

[@twanagilles1756]

Same!!

[@coachshanonfreeman]

I love Gatlinburg so much. Screaming down the mountain... priceless. 😄

[@dawnd.9925]

Seeing you scream on those mountain rides has been the highlight of my day 😂 Thank you!

[@thatsickkidjaz1749]

Have you seen the videos where he is in a haunted house and gets jumpscared? They are absolute gold. 😂

[@chrisfoster5895]

I laughed until I cried!

[@robylove9190]

54:41 The sun just came out after the pouring rain and you're surprised that the seat is wet. Gotta love ya.❤

[@Venomanias]

The squirting paint flowers are an UNBELIEVABLY adorable idea. 🌼❤

[@elf5012]

Another win-what a fantastic day. Everything you have done here is so exciting. You are so brave to go on those coasters and swinging bridges. Thanks for taking us along.

[@RobOlgatree]

Jacob thanks for doing a video about Anakeesta. I don't live very far away and I enjoy seeing how other creators report on their visit. Although the open air Ridge Runners are less scenic in a way, you will see more wildlife and that includes those Smoky Mountain Bears. I think the best time to visit Anakeesta Theme Park is during the off-season. The park is open year-round, but the crowds are usually thinner during the winter months. During the busy fall and winter months, I recommend visiting Anakeesta at night to watch the sunset, enjoy a fire pit, or go upscale dining. Anakeesta also has a nighttime attraction called Lumina Enchanted Night Walk, where new groups can enter every 15 minutes from 6-9:30 PM.

[@lovesmesomelilacs-ke5rz]

Thank you Jacob for letting explore the entire country.

[@deborahbarkley1219]

Jacob, thanks for doing the mountain coaster. And doing all the other scary rides. Because of major health issues, I'm not able to do fun things anymore. And don't feel bad about screaming on mountain coaster. I would have too. Thanks for all te videos you do. Your helping alot of people to experience fun things thru you. Don't ever change. Love you and Jenny. Stat safe. ❤😂😮😲😳😵‍💫👏

[@YahBoiDrip]

Your scream is the literal embodiment of "calm before the storm".

[@bg199083]

Seeing you scream on those mountain rides have been the highlight of my day. Thank you and stay safe Jacob! 🤣😂😁

[@jeanniehuskins6218]

This vlog made me very anxious. 😂

[@laurenmay5571]

"This is a mistake. I should have never entered this realm". hahahaha

[@niecey7492]

I always enjoy your visits to TN. I've only been once when I was a kid. Loved everything about TN. The food was delicious and the people were very friendly.

[@deborahnodd9414]

I'm sorry Jacob but when you went down that hill it was the laugh I needed! ( Been sick) I watch you everyday. I hope if you come to central Florida again one day I'd like a meet and greet. Your show is my FAVORITE. Your Hoosier Friend.

[@tippytoes2358]

You can get Dole whip at Sheetz for just $2 to fill a large cup as of last year at various locations.

[@KatharineRocklin]

Lunch tastes better with a Carpetbagger video one. It's like new age travel channel!!

[@twanagilles1756]

Loved this adventure. I remember when you went at Christmas time, and it was lovely!! And that headband is not ridiculous!! It's fabulous, just like Jen!

[@Sparty-pi3jq]

The screams of terrified Jake, always make me laugh! Great video as always!

[@alanlough638]

Kudos to your KZbin Channel, Jacob! 👍👍👍👍

[@francisdv]

Jason, thanks for bringing this place to us. Just another place for the bucket list. Again Thanks!!

[@412waters6]

Been watching your channel for years, it was awesome seeing you out in the wild doing your thing.

[@purpledragon8368]

Thank you for amusing me. Love you Jacob. 💜 I was not able to ride the one time I was there, they were closing.😢 I always know where to come to get my daily smiles..The Carpetbagger channel

[@allensherrill850]

That rain really came down 😮

[@paulfuryes203]

Looks like an amazing place, l love how they dress up the bears 🐻. Great video, Jacob. Till the next safe travels my friend and take care.

[@stlbud]

Thank you Jacob. Anakeesta is beautiful .

[@alexgeorge501]

Sounds like you had a delicious time!

[@alliekuma4234]

I loved all the different birdhouses. How cute! ❤ Good job on the coaster dude, gotta love the screaming. Lol 😂Thank you for taking us all here with you. 😊

[@bassplayercliff1961]

We love your ability to do things you don’t like just for us. I actually laughed! Thanks Jason. You da man!!!

[@Jakethebear2021]

Thank you Jacob for another great video.

[@LaLunaLady]

What a cool park! Thanks for taking us along on your adventure!

[@APRIL_boymom]

Bernhiem forest in Ky has the willow things there. 😊

[@TheVideoBarron]

Looks like that food pass was worth it

[@caroleroseburgh1344]

Good Evening Jacob 🙋🏽.

[@brendamusante9086]

Thank you Jacob! That was fun! Best, Rich (& Brenda, who was an OZARK gal) 😊😊

[@atypicalmom]

I'm glad you bought the annual pass, looking forward to more Anakeesta videos!!!

[@AwkwardAnxiousJennifer]

That flavorless chorizo taco reminds me of the time I ate Mexican food in a small Central Illinois town. It was SO bland, clearly made for people who think onions are "too spicy," lol. Anyway, I'm glad to see you've been sticking close to home for a few days. I hope you get some good rest before whenever your next big trip is!

[@stevensky7113]

Love the new camera very appreciative of revisiting stuff in Tennessee in HD and i absolutely cannot wait until haunt season

[@jennyvezina4551]

I will be in Gatlinburg in August and am looking forward to seeing some of the places you've shown throughout the years. It will be my very first time visiting Gatlinburg and it's because of you. Thank you

[@28kbryan]

Fantastic video! Looks like an awesome family destination.

[@garywarren-gh8os]

Greetings from Poteet Texas. Thanks for your your great video looks like you had a good time.that was the smallest chicken Fried steak I ever Sean.

[@debraharrison4767]

Your videos help me get through a good work day! Thank you!

[@comeoncarebear]

Good morning watching from WA state thank you Jacob for another great video.

[@Jsmithsalem3820]

😂 i am watching you now and you screaming down the mountain coaster made me laugh so hard.....i am so sorry...but your scream sounded unreal😂😂😂

[@oddestmouse]

The bird houses were so cool!

[@craigholstine2154]

Good Morning " YA ALL " Jacob the Carpetbagger..!!

[@DebHoeft]

No way Well be there next week. So 😊 excited

[@dianadelahaye7660]

That is a lot of food😮An interesting place.

[@Retromicky82]

You gotta admit jacob you may visit the rest of America but you do live in a spectacular beautiful area . I've seen some amazing views on jenns recent travel vids

[@purpledragon8368]

There’s a place in Charlotte NC that has dole whip. Very tasty. 😋

[@countrycutie3263]

I've driven on those windy mountain roads a lot in my lifetime...I would trust the lifts more lmao

[@maryblaufuss7533]

Just that view from the tower...even that by itself, must mean so much to those at home who can't get out.

[@carltonsadventures]

I went on that rail runner coaster a few years ago. Never again!

[@kaylak6522]

Oh no! We missed you!!!! We are currently visiting Pigeon forge/Gatlinburg because of you! I am so sad we missed you. Tomorrow we are going to anakeesta. It would have been an honor to have met you! Keep up your amazing videos and fun energy you always bring to your videos. ❤😊

[@serendipitouslydivine824]

Love the smokiness over the mountains at the end, after the rain. So very beautiful. How appropriately the mountains are named.

[@MattTheLizard]

Jacob...another great video. You threw in a "whyyyyyyy" on the Hellbender. That made my day.

[@BobDole-hw2qh]

100% right on the neon green relish. That’s a vienna beef staple.

[@CMROCD82]

Risky wearing crocs on the chair lift! 😂

[@mollysmith1226]

😂

[@nanrichter]

what a view :) had fun watching you

[@syedhamidi5643]

😂😂🤣 too much adorableness in a single video. From Jacob riding the coaster to the bear statue. TEDDYBEAR ROOSEVELT IS JUST PERFECT 🥸🐻

[@LinecookThorJamiethaxton]

Awesome video as always Jacob and love hearing you scream in joy 😂

[@Savagemister]

33:31 your bird call sounds like "ca-ca" lol I joke.

[@sickzselebrity2232]

Willow makes me think of the hidden giant trolls throughout the country. Hopefully you find some others to visit.

[@Retromicky82]

The pass sounds cool maybe jenn can try fight her fear of chairlifts or the cabins etc next time you visit 😊

[@JacobLHooper]

Always enjoy a trip to Gatlinburg!

[@jeffyates4813]

[@kristabell2445]

Still need to go visit Anakeesta! Did you see the bear while you were going down the mountain coaster - you went right by it!

[@ohmigoshness1]

I’m literally crying having bad day…hearing this laugh made me laugh thanks the Hellbender was the best!

[@Cherrbombfishing01]

Hey Jacob you should go to Cryptid con in McMinnville Tn on August 10 9am to 5pm

[@johnchambers8528]

Thanks for showing this park to us. That chair lift to get to the top gives a nice scenic ride and would be considered the first ride at the park. The only thing I felt bad about was the price is rather high unless you like those two mountain coasters. I prefer parks with more varied rides.

[@lauriemathon7074]

What a fun exciting day jacob❤😊

[@Debra-m8i]

love the bears!

[@danielbagley3679]

Thanks for sharing looks neat

[@kristencarlbon4561]

I used to do the one in action Park. It was a concrete slide and the breaks barely worked so we would always crash into people at the end. it was so much fun watching people scramble to get the hell off the cart in front of them 😂

[@MichaeldeFilippi]

Anakeesta is awesome.

[@mikehughes4969]

Why? Why does Jacob continues to terrify himself? For our amusement, that's why. Jacob, I apologize for continuously laughing myself silly at your terror and thank you for tolerating my existence.

[@suemoo22]

You’re not laughing at him, you’re laughing with him!

[@MikeWeiner]

@@suemoo22 And sharing the adventures!!!! Gotta love Jacob...this is my most favorite KZbin channel. Its the only one I watch at least one video of every single day.

[@maryblaufuss7533]

That was a very sweet way of relaying what was on your mind.

[@JustinAldrich-y7d]

I really liked this I need to go visit loved the mountain coasters! Good jog

[@lindasayler4566]

Thank you this was fun

[@pjmartin6690]

You are toooooooo brave!!! Those Mountain Coasters are crazy....but that first one you road with the single rail.......NOOOOOO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL I do love the idea of UNITED TASTES! What a great idea - I wonder if any other place offers that. Do you remember what Ohio's was???? (Maybe a Skyline/Gold Star Chilli????) Thanks again for sharing - love watching your adventures!!!

[@coachshanonfreeman]

"Let's bend some hell." 😂😂😂

[@erasoup]

I like the seasonal decor... do they do the same kind of thing year-round (Halloween, Christmas, etc)?🙂

[@shirleyhughes1248]

Jacob, I was holding my breath when you rode that one rail roller coaster!

[@my.southernentertainment]

The one with butter is called a connecticut Lobster roll

[@scottperman4292]

Oh thank you SO much… your pure terror is food for my soul! Sorry, not sorry. MORE!!!

[@thatsickkidjaz1749]

As a TN native one thing I can say is that Tennesseeans LOVE the 4th of july, they will start setting of fireworks in may 😂

[@littlemissjackieee7688]

The Rail Runner was my very first mountain coaster and that steep hill that you start on was the worst!

[@maryblaufuss7533]

IKR? At the first glance at the ride, before Jacob got on, I sez to myself, "Boy, that looks steep!"

[@mp9876]

Loved this place!

[@leslietonn3181]

Don't know if you would be interested, but there are some new Thomas Dambo trolls in and around Detroit Lakes MN.

[@lisabaca6793]

Such a fun video. Expcially seeing you on the mountain coasters. The bird houses are really cute. That Taco you had did not look like real chorizo to me I'm Hispanic and it didn't look like it's supposed to.

[@whatsnextrobert]

That scream you did ill hear in my sleep.
