The Underground was the first “coaster” I ever rode as a kid, followed by the Outlaw. I’ve been going to A-land since I was four years old, but it’s been several years now. Hope you had a great time!

[@TheVideoBarron]

You’re gonna have a fun filled day

[@goofyrulez7914]

Happy 4th of July, Jacob and Jenn.

[@OldMovieRob]

Shame they didn't let you film the Underground ride, but the footage was still pretty cool. +18:42 is like a muppet version of Lemmy from Motörhead!

[@goofyrulez7914]

It seems like if they let you film, it would be free advertising.

[@OldMovieRob]

@@goofyrulez7914 I've literally gone to check out places based on Jacob's videos, including the infamous World of Illusions in Gatlinburg, rip...

[@stevepaul6955]

One of the few parks where you can find old-school Skee Ball.

[@michaelcook4194]

I think next year should be the year of the wet rides. 🤣

[@benwinegarner4797]

We walked past you while you were filming the giant pig. Didn't want to disturb you, but we were all surprised to see you there. I really like what they did with The Underground.

[@bg199083]

Old-school Skee Ball is nostalgic and memorable. Hope you have a great day today man!

[@LadyRavenMoon72]

Jen would love the Underground ride.

[@FanOfFab4]

I am so amazed at how far you travel everyday!!

[@That1Fijian]

I WAS ON THE TRAIN WITH YOU

[@robylove9190]

Have a great time at the park you're in today, Jacob.❤

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Morning Jacob 🤓📸 dark rides are the best, I can hear you screaming lol through the whole thing. Thanks for sharing this. Stay safe and have fun.👍

[@AdamConus]

Much happier bumper cars today. Yay!

[@mikehughes4969]

I remember back in the day when it was raining, we went on the water rides. I figured if you were going to get wet anyway, you might as well do it with style. Just a thought.

[@ziggy561]

I’ve done that before xx

[@corinth1121]

If I was conducting Adventure lands train, I'd stop for.....no one🎉🎉🎉

[@DougFromTheBayou]

That looks like a great themepark!

[@paulfuryes203]

Great video. I love the pig. Take care, Jacob, and as always, safe travels, my friend .

[@chadhenry9993]

Welcome to Altoona. I live like 30 minutes from there. If you need a guest with you let me know and I'll happy to volunteer.

[@GaryNik5374]

I worked there for 10 years in the rides department . Through high school, college, & afterwards. Lots of great memories.

[@trailermashproductions3437]

I’ve been at Adventureland from the time frame 2009-2018 and honestly it’s kind of sad to see all the rides I’ve been on as a kid end up being replaced or removed. Like the splash over, inverter, log ride(replaced with a better ride) and the raging river being iconic for the longest wait time at the park. Nostalgia really hits here

[@bryantfletcher3613]

My fiance and I saw you while we were on the train! I wanted to actually meet you so bad, but we missed you. Big fan of your work!

[@amongthestarsperfumereview1041]

My home park!!!!

[@syedhamidi5643]

Jacob laughing is just everything 😂 Great job Jacob 🎉

[@markzeahammer183]

That Animatronic that Carpetbagger was interacting with looked like P T Barnaby Jones.

[@woeb0t]

So much has changed since I’ve last been to Adventureland. I definitely need to get back there soon.

[@silverghostcat1924]

6:54 he reminds me of Captain Kangaroo 🦘😸

[@searcher00211]

Thanks for visiting Adventureland again. I hope you enjoyed my home park! Dragon Slayer isn't at intense on the body as it looks. My son and I actually enjoy it when we spin A LOT! And yes, Potato Patch fries are amazing!

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

Thanks for taking me along Jacob! KZbinr- Urban Historian

[@lisafreeman4222]

Cool video

[@Frank-jl1ce]

Love this video carpetbagger.

[@craigholstine2154]

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

[@ShelleeGraham]

“Good Morning YOU all.” -Jacob the Carpet 💼 bagger 👍

[@adventureswithrobbie]

Nice video. Bernie is a St. Bernard so therefore Bernie. Too bad you missed the longest running magic show at a theme park. Ben Ulin's Comedy and Magic Show at Sam Adams Saloon, this is the 36th season for Ben.. Sooooo good. Also, the pit in Underground is the old diving pool and dolphin show pool from back in the day, the Underground is built over the old concrete audience seating, that's why it slopes down. This park also has a full waterpark, entrance by the Outlaw Roller Coaster. Looks like it was a fun filled day.🙂

[@claired2022]

I dont usually comment on youtube but I do have to shout out my fellow haunt friends at the Slaughterhouse Haunted House in Des Moines who were the ones in charge of reprogramming the Underground. Im so proud of them being recognized for their programming skills in general!

[@christie-roseleonard8942]

Very cool!! They did an incredible job.

[@nikitatro5508]

I love the old school amusement parks 💖 and especially the carousel 🎠 and especially when they have the original organ music 🎶💗 🎶 😻💝

[@jeremybenton458]

The underground description reminds me of the old Chaos at Opryland, but it was steel, but still a dark ride.

[@siddooku8244]

Carpetbagger! I love you! My name is Chad. I commented a while back and you responded to my message about how positive it was. Well…I’ve been watching you from the start and I enjoy you, your personality, and care to making some of the best content on the internet. When you switched to this new camera, it really brought the picture and sound to a new level. It is awesome. I hear you and the atmosphere in my 5.1 digital surround system and actually changes speakers and hear everything I’m perfect sound and the picture is outstanding. This one video is great and I wanted to comment on the pov spots that you have the picture pointed at the attraction and listening to the atmosphere and ride….the still camera no talking shots. It is incredible. I really felt like I could walk through the television and be right there. That park is so clean! I also enjoy you and your narrating. You crack me up when you do a photo op and you do the multiple poses and the soft shoe dance..I laugh so hard! You are hilarious. It reminds me of Benny hill for some reason…..thank you Carpetbagger…keep going! You are awesome!

[@ItsPBJ]

In the the old underground aninmatroics last years all you could hear from it was the parts moving the the body

[@heather....]

I love Adventureland! I haven't been there in quite a few years. Lost Island is now closer for me to go. I might have to get there before the end of the summer.

[@elizabethlemke6058]

Yay!!! Welcome to Iowa again. Hopefully you got outta town today cause we are supposed to have very bad weather!!!

[@caroleroseburgh1344]

Good Evening Jacob 🙋🏽.

[@jeffd1126]

Bets on Carperbagger at Lost Island tomorrow. Much more thrill rides there. Palace Entertainment filled Adventureland with kiddie rides when they took over.

[@melzwings]

Welcome to Iowa!!!

[@billchief397]

Omg 2022...me and my brother take off on a 4 park tour...Adventureland was the first...that day...100 degree...probably 120 in the park...lol the paratrooper was a giant fan we didn't mind waiting in line for..mand the dole whip...wow! Heading there this fall for phantom

[@popvoxmusic]

Oh my gosh! We just went there a couple of days ago! It would have been so cool to bump into you!

[@alliekuma4234]

I also thought of A-Train/Prince Albert from WWE. Lol It was nice seeing everybody happy on the carousel. : ) Shakin' Bacon is an adorable name for a ride. I hope Jenn can ride The Underground with you one day! ♥

[@kristencarlbon4561]

Love to see a live stream I miss them .

[@KingJonesie]

You can watch Daniel and the Dixieland diggers at Huckleberry junction in Genesee Michigan it's a pizza place and arcade not far from my home 😅

[@totally_normal1518]

I was there yesterday! 0:53 you can see us! Hope you had a great time 👍

[@378904]

who is the sexy red head???

[@chriskall23]

thanks for the video. this is amusement park i have been to the most. only live couple hours away just havent been since 2016 definitely need to plan another trip. last time we went monster had just opened.

[@tylerdavis127]

I'm glad you had a great day on my 27th birthday!

[@ShelleeGraham]

18:35 Really cool spooky 👻 effects inside “UNDERGROUND” dark ride at Adventureland! (Have not been here in years. I’m originally from Iowa. It would be nice to return someday.) 👍

[@juanzapata492]

Enjoy like the Vikings

[@travis303]

Wouldn't it have been great if there was some kind of jump scare inside that "aluminum cavern"? Nobody would expect that! Perfect time for one

[@ssm100]

Fun fact about Adventureland. Former Disney Imagineers designed the park.

[@nataliecrow6533]

I never knew there was an Altoona, Iowa 🤔 Underground reminds me of Black Diamond at Knoebels. It seems so strange they have that splash ride by that steel coaster. Seems like having all that water would cause issues with the coaster 🤷🏻‍♀️ Have a great 4th Jacob, I assume Jen will fly up to meet you at your mom’s. Hopefully she can be in a few videos. Safe travels to you all! Looking forward to your 3rd Amusement Park footage tomorrow. 😊

[@Crystalblue58]

There is a song called take the A train too. Happy 4th!

[@benjaminlovingwurst9127]

Summer of Amusement parks

[@imgonnasayitnow]

I haaaaated the underground as a kid because 1. dark, and 2. animatronics. I don't know if it was purposely scary then but it seems it is now

[@rowlandstevens7515]

Great video!

[@ssm100]

This is my home park. No love for the Outlaw or Tornado? The Monster is fun, but it killed the sky way and the silly silo.

[@Aerolator.]

29:37 Bernie is the name of adventurelands mascot :)

[@NoahSmith-gb5go]

I would love too go to this theme park

[@jennyvezina4551]

Thank you!

[@BalmungMP5]

Love the new intro. Its cool that they leaned into the creepiness of the old animatronic that was broken half the time. Also, the smell of the wooden structure in the line for this ride is iconic.

[@nadiaborzacchini6858]

What a good video o love theme parks thanks for sharing g with us

[@Scott-rc1tj]

If you can you should put timestamps on the video with the different rides! Good content

[@GeneSavage]

QUOTE OF THE VIDEO: "...You see, they're screaming, because it's TERRIFYING..." 🤣

[@barbhagens1167]

What… no pressed penny machine?

[@elmocake2849]

I’m in des mines. Do a meet and greet. Welcome to Iowa. 💙

[@robinscarborough6969]

I would be happy to just ride the train 😊

[@BBWFootGoddessRenee]

So fun!!!

[@Corgis175]

A more subdued park just my speed.

[@timhagens340]

Welcome to the rainy, flooded Iowa!

[@elmocake2849]

Are you stopping at the John Wayne museum? It’s inside of one of John Wayne’s old family homes. It’s in Winterset Iowa. There’s also the Villisca Axe Murder house. It’s in Villisca Iowa. Omg! Squirrel Jail in Council Bluffs Iowa. The story is kinda dark and creepy. It’s one of the first one man guarded jails. It had a rotating jail cell system with one guard in the middle controlling it. It was shut down because back in the day there was no way to tell if an inmate had limbs sticking out when it was turning. Many inmates lost limbs and even died due to the setup of the jail. Now it’s a museum. My facts may not be 100% on the history. But I’ve never been and it’s been awhile since I researched it. Shrine of the Grotto Redemption. In West Bend Iowa. It’s so beautiful and amazing. It was built by a single priest, who then recruited one other priest at the end of his lifespan to make sure the grotto was finished. It has 9 rooms. There’s also a cute mom and pop hotel right across the street ran by the sweetest older couple.

[@Emilio-yv4co]

😮😮😮 you got too ride the monster ride😂😂😂

[@dukemexplorer481]

I read them all the time cause many maps and paper maps at Knoebels is kinda the same way

[@ninedragons1]

I think it's funny how all these Disney like parks always turn into a six flags or a permanent carnival of flat spinning rides. Or puke makers as I called them. Carnie: "Did you enjoy the spin? Do you need more spin? Hey, you haven't puked yet! Spin 'em around boys!" Random guy: "No wait, no don't spin me! Nooooo! BAAAARRFFF!" Carnie: "Ah, there we go. Another satisfied customer. NEXT!" They don't understand what makes the Disney parks so special. Of course lately even Disney has forgotten that.

[@gr8scott198]

Epic! X2

[@JosiahG17]

I was there Thursday

[@douglascrabtree8889]

i think it should be called Altoonaland

[@ericcase2057]

From the looks of it, I'd say worlds of fun is much better than Adventureland.

[@coachshanonfreeman]

Have you been to Beech Bend Park in Bowling Green, KY? I took my son there when he was little. I'd love to see you film there.

[@Plotagoner2335]

You should go back to OWA or even go to the track because that’s also kind of a theme park

[@MeaganG08]

Go to Arnold's Park in Okoboji, Iowa while you're over here.

[@DoctorVadarWho]

Next time you see the mascot Bernie the dog all you have to do is say to him shake and he will shake with you

[@patriciaevans1129]

Looks like fun😅

[@lisafreeman4222]

Cool video

[@ratherande]

I’m in this video 😉

[@That1Fijian]

Me too😉

[@stevedurrell]

Epic!

[@skilletman16]

Altoona? I had always thought it was in Des Moines, but maybe on the border?

[@history_leisure]

"The Monster is a standing coaster", no it ain't

[@Jimmy-cs3zp]

Jmmy 😮😮😮

[@Jimmy-cs3zp]

[@Mantronix6804]

[@Emilio-yv4co]

😂😂😂😂awwq come on ride the wave getting them dangerous coasters😂😂😂😂

[@scifinut1]

Gee, ya think they could possibly get an animatronic that moved his mouth at least!?!
