Ripley's Haunted Adventure - Gay Dolphin Gift Cove - Skywheel - Brand New Ripley's Attractions

[@mikehughes4969]

As someone who was a scare actor for years, I have to say you were my favorite kind of victim. Screaming and laughing at the same time. Much love my friend.

[@ohmigoshness1]

I loveeee scare actors! Thanks for the frights keeps me young

[@mikehughes4969]

@@ohmigoshness1 you are very welcome. It was the most fun I ever had on a job and I loved hearing the screams. Made me feel like they were getting their money's worth.

[@dravenlee4473]

That haunted attraction was cool. We need more interactive type experiences like that with no actors. Just places to wander around and look at creepy stuff.

[@knightofarkronia9968]

What are you talking about? That attraction had actors!

[@burritofueled7415]

The FBI agent played multiple roles...

[@denisedarnell1641]

On a very hard day for my family where we awoke to some very shocking sad news, your video is exactly what I need to remember to smile and see that life does go on , even when my heart is broken in a million pieces 💔 . Thank you for being such a HAPPY GO LUCKY DUDE who absolutely pushes past the hard parts of life and allows all of us to giggle or laugh out loud with your antics. Things that go bump in the night dont scare you as much as compressed air blowing your way. I DONT BLAME YOU ❤❤😊

[@thomjankowski3792]

Praying for you and yours.

[@AlreadyLifted]

“OHHHH HE WAS PLAYING GOLF” I love the commentary when Jacob gets scared 😂

[@vilkomen]

The old Haunted Adventure involved a coffin making company called Grimsby and Streaper, cleverly hiding within the title "Grim Reaper." There was a large creepy elevator that would take you to the top. The whole experience was much darker and a victorian era horror affair that delt with a Jack the Ripper-esque serial killer. Lots of automated scares, and one scare actor that would play multiple roles throughout the house.

[@brentrussell1209]

You can sort of see where that elevator was on the facade. Also it looks like the golf course used part of the queue you waited in to get on the elevator as well.

[@Deathhasuspartx]

One thing I like about carpetbagger is that he doesn't complain. Regardless of the attraction, he finds joy and enjoys the experience. Bc experience is what it's about. The attraction could be mediocre, lame, or awesome and yet he's still gonna enjoy it and get what it gives. It's refreshing to not hear a complainer lol

[@DeadlyGrim]

The use of buttons in the Haunted Adventure is super cool! Reduces the jump scare factor a little bit (you know *something* is going to happen), but it still gets some spooks since you're basically making the audience participate in their own scares. I'd love to see it used at other places.

[@angeliaconti6910]

Congrats on that hole in one!! ❤ MB

[@OldMovieRob]

An unexpectedly early haunt attraction? Awesome!

I'm so glad you got on the Ferris wheel, it was a beautiful ride!

[@reddragon8198]

That's probably one most interesting mini golf ⛳ that ive seen in a while

"OOOHH He was playing golf!" I love the commentary whenever Jacob gets scared. Can't wait for Haunt Season. 😂

[@paulfuryes203]

That's in the top 10 Jacob. It's a great video. Take care, my friend, and as always, safe travels .

[@stifledvoice]

Thanks Jacob for your eternal dedication to showing us those scary dark rides and haunted houses! Loved those places when I was a kid, but now that I'm old all I have to do is watch the news to get scared.

[@jcg336]

Those grab bags from the Gay Dolphin basement were a favorite childhood souvenir! I wish I could step back in time to the Myrtle Beach of my 80s childhood!

[@alliekuma4234]

I remember going there when it was the three story haunted house. You'd see people running on a balcony screaming; it was hilarious. Lol. It was definitely a lot scarier. I loved it. ❤❤I'm so happy to see you doing an early haunt!!!

[@carliec8362]

The Gay Dolphin was a family vacation staple and a fond memory of mine. I believe in the 90s, the open center part with the hanging string lights had either oil (or water?) dripping down long wires/string. That place really is unique. I’m glad it’s still around

[@krice72]

This was great! I was laughing while you were yelling! Your face was classic when you had to give the code! 😂

[@SnackHeadCowboy]

The original gay dolphin video is what made me fall in love with this channel all those years ago.

[@stephaniehensley346]

I do remember when the whole section was the haunted adventure attraction. They used to have an employee stand outside and say things to people walking by trying to get them to do it. I remember this because I had one of them yell out at me one time “you should be out here working instead of me, you have on more makeup than I do.” Fun times 😂

[@brentrussell1209]

I remember liking the old Haunted Adventure. Also did the old 4 D theater as well as the Mirror Maze which seems like the only unchanged attraction. Also one of the better Ripley’s Odditorium. (My favorite is the defunct Baltimore Inner Harbor location. )

[@boogiedaddy3434]

We used to go to Myrtle Beach every year when I was a kid. I haven't been since 1996 and at that point the top of the stairs at the Gay Dolphin had already been closed off for a long time. I don't ever remember ever being able to go to the top. My dad said that he had been up there at some point, but was not sure why or when it closed.

[@demah8655]

Loved the Farris wheel ride! Beautiful view!!!!❤

[@johnlai4129]

Awesome Ferris Wheel the Ripley’s Haunted Adventure was great.

[@Nope44bigpapA]

I loooove the idea of a haunted house with an escape room at the end!

[@mrtuttle76]

Ahh ,the gay dolphin, parents bought me many rubber shark toys there back in the 80s

[@davidditter5219]

You are so funny when you try to dance. You have the same moves every time. Lol

[@TheYellowGoggles]

If you find yourself on the coast of NC around October I HIGHLY recommend hitting up Nightmare Factory in Havelock. They've got the haunted house, a pitch dark maze many of us won't even go in with the lights on and last year it was voted #1 in the state. There's also a rage room next door though I'm not sure of the hours during Fridays/Saturdays.

[@jaileneramos4871]

First time visiting Myrtle Beach and I’m thrilled to go! Thank you so much I have a better idea now what to do this weekend. 😊❤

[@TheGallivantingGinger]

11:45 😆 If anyone wants to know what song was playing on the player piano - Maple Leaf Rag by Scoot Joplin

[@demah8655]

You had me laughing out loud in the haunted house. Good job on the hole in one!

[@JymmeGardiner]

Thank you sir Jacob for sharing your adventure stay safe out and about in all of your journeys

Sky Wheel is an awesome ride. We rode it at night. And you are right about the Gay Dolphin, it's not a trip to the beach if you don't go there❤

Hi Jacob I just loved the Haunted Adventure. I thought It was really well done..Loving all you are doing In Mrytle beach fantastic place..I hope you are keeping really well All the best my friend Marie XXXXX

[@ninedragons1]

2:18 Ah yes. Compressed air. Jacob's only weakness. one of these days I would like to pick up a Halloween Carpetbagger doll of a scared Jacob. Pull the string and it'll shout out all of Jacob's famous scared catch phrases. My favorite will always be: "Don't scare me, bro! Don't scare me, bro! (Creature Noise) AAHH! You scared me!"

[@teresas4440]

I was in myrtle beach south carolina last week Aug 5th-10th and was caught in the middle of the storm. I went to the gay dolphin Thursday it's a pretty cool store. The weather was nice Thursday and Friday tho

[@Mashleigh]

Yay!!!Thanks for bringing a little spooky to me! I can't wait for Halloween. Great video as always.

[@history_leisure]

Giant observation wheels like High Roller are designed for multiple parties, so even a solo person would end up with 1-2 other larger parties

[@TheCarpetbagger]

I went during the pandemic and it was very slow, they told me for safety reasons I couldn’t ride in my own car and I had to ride with another party

[@manongagnon9704]

Always a pleasure, host! But does anyone know what would have happened differently if he had entered the correct code?

[@ZXeNSma420]

You scared the crap outta me. Your screams gave me goosebumps. Wow, what an adventure!

[@McCracken257]

WOW! I was very impressed with the Ripley's Haunted Adventure. I have never seen anything like that and done so well. Its nice to see attractions putting money in to their haunt. Shoot out to the one guy who was running it too. I also really enjoyed the mini golf course. I am adding this location to my road trip bucket list. Thanks for showing me such a cool place. Enjoyed learning about the pressed penny and Ferris wheel history.

[@juanzapata492]

Ripleys knows how to scare your pants off

[@Elysian40772]

I don't like that button and I don't remember any clues that I found....definitely would be phrases I'd be saying 😅 about 6 years ago I was on the Skywheel at the top when a 🌩 storm broke out....good times ❤

[@StickersVsScuffs]

The Gay Dolphin closed the observation deck in 2006 for insurance reasons 34:15. They also had a WonderFall-a giant oil lamp that ran from the tower’s ceiling to the wishing well at the bottom. I always tried to reach out and touch the strings when I was a kid 😂.

[@syedhamidi5643]

Great to see you can ride the ferris wheel today 😂. Yeay for The Carpetbagger 🎉

[@brentrussell1209]

That place has changed a ton in the 12 years since I went. There used to be the freight elevator you took up into the attraction with a few scare actors, and I remember a poctch black section and being followed into the exit elevator. It was real fun.

Hi Jacob 🙋🏽. I hope you had a great day today ‼️👊🏽👍🏽💯.

[@thecaledoniansleeper2648]

That gopher statue looks like one of those statues from the crappy Cartoon Network live action/animated TV movie “Re-Animated”.

[@BillMurray615]

The haunted attraction there used to just be a walk through with jump scares. People hiding, chainsaw people, compressed air, etc. Nice to see they changed it up to keep it fresh.

[@alanlough638]

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

We were just there 6/16-6/21. It was great to see your MB videos.

Really enjoyed this, this was a super fun video. Maybe someday I can visit there , and maybe I can"t and that"s why i appreciate you sharing this video and so many more. The thrills here were amazing! Thank you for sharing

[@NFTparent]

Love the show! What do you do with all your imprinted Pennies you get on your trips?

[@creepsmcdamned]

No haunted adventure at our Ripleys in OCMD but we DID go one a four hour ghost hunt in ours and i can tell you first hand that the museum is definitely haunted. They probably all are, given the origin of some of the exhibits. Tread safely my friend!

[@Jakethebear2021]

Thank you Jacob for another great video.

[@munkywrench9997]

you are correct about the original being larger. the crazy golf side was part of it. The final room you come out of a crematorium.

[@brl412pug4]

Awesome video. Love the channel and also visiting Myrtle Beach. To answer your question about the old haunted attraction… I went once back in 2018. It was plan. Your typical ghost/ demon scares. It had one actor, so very few jump scares. This new one definitely looks more impressive and original

[@jasonschannel1315]

Awesome video Jacob! Glad you was able to finally get on the ferris wheel. I never been on that one but the view of the ocean was so amazing. I only been on the one at the Island. Have you did the VIP experience at the Island where the floor is glass and you can look down. And no I never tried the Vip experience at the Island wheel. I was to chicken to try lol.

[@madebroke7677]

The Ferris wheel was my favorite part! 😊

[@Corgis175]

Sppoky walk thru and congrats on the ferris wheel single rider.

[@adamsmith3564]

Not sure if it’s been said but I think you survived because technically you’re not on vacation. Your work just happens to include visiting places and foiling murderers…. Basically 1/5th of mystery inc. Vaca slasher never stood a chance.

[@septembersullivan5072]

I was just in Myrtle last week. Would have been so amazing to run into the Carpetbagger!

[@dukemexplorer481]

In the haunted area you kept missing the secret phases which was the clues he mentioned ..they were all around you. If I could get on a ferris wheel I would but I am like you I walk around parks by myself all the time and can't get on the giant ferris wheel either Oh another reason why in case of emergencies that may cause problems like a panic attack or extreme fear or seizure etcetera, the other people can alert others about what's going on and if your by yourself well unless the instructor that at the bottom see you they will not know what's going on up there.

[@mnmomify]

I am from MN and was vacationing at Myrtle Beach 10 years ago and was so disappointed! I was expecting a sandy beach but it was actually loaded with sharp broken seashells. I had always dreamed of seeing the ocean with a sandy beach. The hotel was a disgusting nightmare. Broadway at the beach was fun though😊

[@loravaloo55]

FYI, The Enchanted Forest in Oregon added a smashed penny machine with Pappy. A bit of a drive for you but worth it. 🙂

[@silverghostcat1924]

17:01 I could be wrong but judging by his expression and his arm I think he got hit on the head with a golf ball and that's a bump rising from where he got hit. You'd do better at miniature golf and pinball if you used a chest cam for that so you'd have both hands free. 😸

[@thewrightaustin]

Lol, that Buddy Holly song would have calmed me down if there were any fear.

[@MikeWeiner]

495k!!! You're gonna make it to HALF A MILLION before Halloween time!!! And I love when the places you go recognize you and go out of their ways for you. That's so nice to see you are getting so well known. SO, for the future, The Carpetbagger Dark Ride, The Carpetbagger Book of Adventures where your book highlights geographic areas around the country, or The Carpetbagger's Recommends...[Topic] like dark rides, really good BBQ, the best steak place you've been to in GA, stuff like that! Just sayin'... The Carpetbagger is a great brand, and you may want to consider expanding it (albeit slowly) and share all of your knowledge and interest with more people in more ways. :)

[@djserg95_]

I was a scare actor at the haunted adventure in San Antonio before they closed

[@Just_Izzie]

Funky. So last year I was at the haunted adventure all by myself and the experience was actually a lot scarier (and I swear I'm not easy to scare). The guide was more real, there were no ropes in the hallway, more interactives, etc etc. Interesting to see them change stuff again when it was already awesome. It was so good it inspired to me write a horror novel lmao

Very Zen moment Jacob. The biggest prize you ever got from a claw machine is ... yourself

[@bearmeetsworld]

As someone who was once in management in the parks industry, most ride operators are instructed not to allow single riders on Ferris Wheels because of safety issues, but that is not the truth. In management they never wanted the operators to know the truth and tell the park goers. In actuality it's about $. If you allow single riders then lines for the rids would be 2 or even 3 times longer along with the wait. This would discourage patrons from entering your park, therefore you're losing money. The question by some is why isn't this allowed when there are very few people waiting? It's for consistency of policy. The same way the speed limit on a highway doesn't change if there is 1 car or 1,000 cars.

[@Frank-jl1ce]

Love this video carpetbagger and your videos are amazing but would love to see a video with you and super enthused in it together.
