Free parking, free sunscreen, and free soft drinks? Amazing.

[@Alexis-ul5wt]

I go to Holiday World every year, it really is amazing! I've never been to any other theme park, but I have a feeling I'd be disappointed by anything other than Holiday World.

[@goofyrulez7914]

And Disney only charges two arns, two legs and your first born. 😂

[@JCW1013]

@@goofyrulez7914 Very true, but to be fair, the quality of the attractions is better than a coaster going through an empty gravy can.

[@callmemarc]

The tickets for this place are rather expensive for what they offer so none of it is really free. You are just paying extra for it with the ticket price.

[@zerxilk8169]

@@callmemarc to be fair they do have world-class wooden Roller Coasters. The kids seemed very happy. 50$ admission is a tad high. a trip to the fair could cost more if you don't car pool this has better rides.

[@DWedding]

My son met you and got a selfie at Holiday World. You made his day! We both love watching your videos. His birthday is on the 14th and I think you made his a good one. Safe Travels my friend

[@TheCarpetbagger]

Happy Birthday! It was great meeting you

[@mollysmith1226]

That's a fantastic birthday present

[@withoutadoubter]

A round of applause for "I completely forgot this restaurant was here." Took me half a beat and then I laughed out loud.

[@ck2d]

Right - he kept the shot so you had time to register it.

[@Road2NowhereTV]

Doh!!! But do they have a basement? 🤔

[@NOLADEEJ]

Never thought I’d see a gravy themed coaster, but there it is! 😂

[@OldCatDude]

The fact that they give away sun screen, soda, and free parking, gets people returning again and again. Very kid friendly with a lot of those rides too. Great business model they have going. I would enjoy a nice fun day at that park and I'm 68. Well done Jacob and Holiday World! 🤘🤘🤘

[@jawllypop1750]

Jacob, the giant chicken thing is an egg timer. I loved this video. Very nice new roller coaster!

[@nathanwallace3337]

Came here to say that

[@blakeogilvie1002]

And, just like that, another Monday saved by the Carpetbagger.

[@ThousanWhite]

Whoever worked on the theming, the ride sign, the queue design, and the overall decoration of Good Gravy! needs to be promoted, hired by Busch Gardens, Six Flags, Cedar Fair--I don't know who, but for a ride of this smaller scale to have THIS level of creativity and immersion is not common at all and I'm here for it!

[@shawnokeefe1580]

Saw that it was all done by the daughter of the owner Will Koch....who is now a owner

[@zerxilk8169]

@@shawnokeefe1580 at least she got a raise.

[@jdssurf]

well, maybe they should theme the sea horse ride over the dirt lmao

[@williamcrowe2576]

Fun fact; they did a test run of Good Gravy with giant turkey plushies in the seats. You'll probably have seen these turkey plushies in most of the park games as top prize.

[@ShelleeGraham]

Holiday World is a lot BETTER than I expected. Great historic (since 1946) amusement park!

[@kookiemonster9222]

What a charming, people-friendly park that doesn’t take your last penny off you 😊

[@OldMovieRob]

The turkey-themed dark ride has to be one of the weirder things I've seen on your channel Jacob.

[@loravaloo55]

That would make a great Jacob sit and talk video. The top 10 weird things he's seen.

[@r.j.h.l2031]

As weird as it sounds, it actually works well and is a lot of fun. Sure makes it unique to other parks!😂

[@mikehughes4969]

I was very impressed with the theming of the Good Gravy line. It invoked memories of Thanksgiving spent at my grandparents, or my cousin's, or at home. It made me very nostalgic. If anyone from the park is watching this, my hat's off to you. Incredibly well done. And free soda too!

[@zerxilk8169]

the free soda was just gravy...

[@serendipitouslydivine824]

@@zerxilk8169 LOL!

[@blueeyedgirl1865]

I can't believe a holiday themed theme park with a Halloween section doesn't have a haunted house attraction. Weird

[@jimwhitt]

I was thinking the exact same thing

[@mondenkindqueen]

Too on the nose perhaps?

[@TheCarpetbagger]

My only real complaint with the park, Halloween needs a dark ride or haunt

[@sassyhulk7685]

As a local, I’ve been saying this for most of my life!

[@keviny5838]

The big chicken outside was a timer used in many kitchens years ago.

[@hunterbline2634]

MY HOME PARK!! Been watching u for five years now!

[@EternalSymmetry]

I have been sick and binge-watching your videos has helped me. 😷Thank you for them. I love your adventures.

[@suemoo22]

Hope you feel better soon!

[@EternalSymmetry]

@@suemoo22 Thank you!

[@beng2427]

Very nice editing on the Gravy Coaster sequence.

[@ck2d]

I agree. Great work around for not being able to film on the ride. The editing and the commitment to setting up the shots over and over are top notch

[@TheCarpetbagger]

Thank you! Tried a little something different

[@theantichrist4267]

It looked like a pleasant park 👍 hopefully they will continue to attract vary large annual crowds to the park , so people 50 years from now can enjoy being young at heart ❤️

[@dianadelahaye7660]

What a fun park. Very coo with free soda and sunscreen, and parking!!

[@artvandelay7012]

Hello Jacob I love your new camera. I don't understand why people are complaining about the audio it sounds perfectly fine to me. I understand every word you say.

[@dawnclevenger6617]

When my Aunt Shirley moved to Tell City , Indiana and when we visited her she took us to Santa Claus Land back then, remember having a good time, thanks for the video 😊

[@CoasterVet]

Jacob, you’re very trusting setting your camera down and leaving it. I would be concerned someone would steal it or not notice it, walk by and accidentally kick it.

[@AwkwardAnxiousJennifer]

Yeah, the sound footage while the camera recorded from the ground was cool, but it gave me major anxiety about the brand new camera getting stolen!

[@mzsuzy69]

AWESOME! I met u that day but didnt want to disturb u too much. We watch u everyday. I have planned many trips from ure vlogs. It means alot to us that u do this. That area also has many caves. Marengo, Wyandotte, Squire boone. U will be hard pressed to find a prettier cave then Marengo. I am so happy we met u. Thank you!

[@chade.7948]

The water park is just as big and not an additional admission price.

[@DuecePiece]

The original antique cars were definitely one of my favorite attractions at Kings Island. Its definitely meant to give kids the freedom to drive cars and I'm here for it! 👍❤️

[@amandacalhoun9835]

Holiday World is on my bucket list to visit with my family. It looks like it’s so much fun.

[@Gregory......]

I always liked the smell of Burning Electricity on the Bumper Cars.

[@ScottG91]

Very underrated park,

[@maxpowers3535]

The ghost pic was perfect, you already look like Booberry.😂

[@Harvestmouse]

OMG! He really does! 😆

[@TheCarpetbagger]

I guess we have the same hat

[@mjrleaguesweetie]

The theming of Good Gravy! reminds me of that meme, where one panel is what people think the 80s were like (loud day-glo colors etc), and the other panel is what the 80s were really like (wood paneling). The 60s were before my time, and I wonder what the average household looked like back then, vs. our stylized memory of it

[@gr8scott198]

Chicken shaped timer, bud. TY!

[@Road2NowhereTV]

This place does look fun!! The theming was well thought out and without being “too much” it’s cute & creative. I love going through the family home for Good Gravy.

[@oldsouthmike65]

Holiday world seems awesome.

[@genageeraert8039]

The giant chicken was either a general kitchen timer or a egg timer.

[@ValhallaKnight2]

This place is incredible I have never heard of it. Everything looks so new and done really well.

[@r.j.h.l2031]

It is the cleanest park in the nation, I assure you. And it’s a lot of fun!

[@serendipitouslydivine824]

How Clean, Vibrantly Colored and Impeccably Detailed everything in this park seems to be. All the attractions you showed in this video look brand new. Whomever owns this park seems to really LOVE what they are doing and are offering a phenomenal Theme Park experience to families. Much Praise to them!

[@STLMTB]

Holiday World is really the best park ever.

[@UniverseAvalon]

The walking taco at Holiday World was always my favorite!

The KITCHEN looks like The Brady Bunch show kitchen. ❤

What a cute theme park, love the gravy boat coaster!!

[@jonathanhope3672]

Camera is working well here. Putting it down and having it track you while you walked to the photo op was seamless. You’re probably not after more camera feedback but I thought it worthwhile that I noticed and it was good.

[@markzeahammer183]

Carpetbagger, Holiday World looks very beautiful. Very colorful and looks like they spent money to make it look right.

[@haydenshores7252]

Going there on memorial day weekend for the forst time ever!

[@emmaruffin-cromer8266]

Their Halloween section desperately needs a dark ride.

[@juicebox9871]

Wow what a unique dark ride

[@chrisgentry7242]

They need to rename good gravey coaster the Gravy Train.

[@AwkwardAnxiousJennifer]

Putting on the Bluetooth mic while the camera tracks you to a face hole is the perfect use for it, although leaving the camera alone to ride the tiny roller coaster gave me anxiety about the chance for somebody to steal your new camera. Free sunscreen and free soda are amazing! Also, I don't have kids, but that park looked perfectly suited for small children, with plenty of rides they could enjoy. It seems like most theme parks just have one small section for kids and design the park around teens and adults.

[@jankk]

I prefer parks where everyone in the family can enjoy the rides, not just the kids.

[@serendipitouslydivine824]

@@jankk Most kid rides can be ridden by adults.

[@carolplummer7182]

We visited yesterday too and got a selfie with carpetbagger it was a super fun day and the good gravy ride was super smooth I even rode some rides that I’ve been too scared to ride for years all in all a great Mother’s Day for my mom and an awesome experience for my dad and I getting to meet carpetbagger!

[@TheCarpetbagger]

Great to meet you!

[@markputters9005]

Two things, have you ever been to Santa's Village in Bracebridge Ontario Canada? They should put them metal strips in the real world roads, maybe people would stay in their own lanes.

Also no cranberry sauce

Now all we need is a roller coaster themed to cranberry sauce.

[@richardmcilvain329]

they also sell big red in parts of Kentucky as well

[@sandypawstravel]

Great video as always... I am looking forward to seeing Bemidji and the start of your route!

[@beng2427]

And the audio for the train ride. mwah

[@Goliath146]

If anyone is wondering what the coasters here they are. Good gravy: first custom vekoma junior boomerang, good ride Thunder bird: b&m launched wing coaster, pretty good ride. Howler:just a zamperla gravity coaster. The legend: focused on laterals, great cci coaster. The raven: focused on hills and turns, again great cci The voyage: focused on airtime, anything you could want on a coaster, top tier, best ride in the park.

[@rachel_espinoza]

This reminds me of the holiday trees from The Nightmare Before Christmas. This place is literally all of them lol

[@rachelhimes7715]

Another fun Easter egg, the old television has the brand name Koch the last name of the original founder of the park. His grand children still own the park today.

[@bg199083]

I love anything free at an amusement park. I would like to go to Holiday World one day. Have a great time Jacob!

[@AdamYJ]

I have to absolutely applaud Holiday World on creativity in theming. I feel like most theme parks that aren't directly tied to some kind of movie IP always default to being themed around either genres of fiction (fantasy, adventure, western, etc) or some kind of region of the world or some combination of both. Disney did the former before its IP library got strong, Busch Gardens did the latter. But Holiday World is just like "Nah, we're doing holidays". Particularly big props for a roller coaster that evokes Thanksgiving dinner in general and gravy in specific.

[@caroleroseburgh1344]

Good Morning Jacob 🙋🏽

[@matthewfarmer2520]

I never been to Holiday World in Indiana, I'm in Louisville Kentucky I grew up in the 80s and 90s going to Kentucky Kingdom were they would have the state Fair later in August but you go anytime to Kentucky Kingdom.

Your daughter is very smart! ❤️ Great idea about the sunscreen! She needs to find a way to market her idea!! Because you know a place like Disneyland, is not going to have free sunscreen.
