I saw this in my feed and my excitement is immeasurable. Glad you had a good time at Carowinds.

[@briancampbell2914]

Rosebud. Awesome to hear you say that again Jacob

[@bigbrad3428]

My home park. I have been several times since the early 70's. Love this park. Fury and Afterburn are the BEST!!!!

[@marydecker571]

Thank you for showing Carowind Amuement Park it was neat to see

[@ConfusedLux]

Woo! This used to be our home park. I think this will be the first year in a long time we aren't planning to go. We're changing it up and going to Dollywood, Universal Orlando, Six Flags Atlanta, and Kings Dominion this summer/fall instead. Thanks for the vid!

[@olikiahill260]

Wow Nice I hope you all have a great time

[@peedeesanddigger4862]

This is my home park , only a 2hr drive for me. Thanks for sharing.

[@tickledpnk85]

I can’t go to these parks much anymore but watching you go Jacob is the best ❤

[@JP-rf7px]

I helped build Carowinds. Interesting trivia. At that time N Carolina had touch tone phones, but the Rock Hill Telephone Co in S Carolina was still rotary dial! The wiring met at a box on the state line. And it took some work to get them talking to each other. And there was a VIP lounge over the entrance turnstiles. One night Wachovia Bank, who helped Pat Hall finance the park was having a private party after hours. The steam train was running and the director of security was driving the depts brand new van. The train managed to collide with the van at a crossing on the service road. No injuries except to egos! Working management at a park is always interesting! Later I worked at the Marriott parks also.

[@scottfreeman3748]

Never knew about this Park thanks for showing me Jacob 😊

[@vtheg4842]

How??? Look up Fury 325 it’s the tallest lift hill on a coaster in the entire world!!! And it’s a carowinds

[@drija1138]

Hope to see you and Jen at Scarowinds!!!! Love your channel

[@engineerdan9633]

I miss the Thunder Road wooden coaster at Carowinds!! I'm glad my daughters got to ride it before it was demolished. Keep up making the great videos!

[@janicewright6375]

Me too. Most of the coasters there are pretty intense now. The Goldrusher is my favorite. I also miss the waterlog flume ride. I once stood in line over an hour to get on it.

[@tylerjpauls2334]

Wait, they demolished Thunder Road? When?!

Hey Jacob! IF you come to Broome County, NY, They have a Carosel loop you can do consisting of many public carosels in Parks and even a zoo! Some are even free to ride!

[@samsmonstermadness]

Its Called the Broome County Carosel Circut!

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

I took my Daughters to Carowinds when they were younger. I rode the wooden roller coaster which got stuck ascending 1st grade after starting. It's a really nice amusement park. We grew up loving Kennywood best. Have a nice weekend Jacob!

[@conniecrawford5231]

Kennywood is a Pittsburgh tradition !

That big green and blue coaster is Fury 325 excellent coaster and my favorite at Carowinds.

That looks like a fun park. And what a unique idea of a park on two states' border! Congrats on four days of amusement parks in a row...I would probably hurl or worse myself! Have a great week ahead Jacob.

[@eddunaway5371]

Very awesome Park

[@dodiatkins4515]

Good morning Jacob. 😊

[@unicorn063]

They have some crazy rides there 😊😮❤

[@debs5157]

Hi Jacob! Saw that you're at Carowinds, brought back such good memories. We lived in Greensboro for 15 yrs and knew Carowinds when it was under Paramount and the Afterburn Rollercoaster was Top Gun! Also loved the Goldrusher & Intimidator. Thanks for the vid! ❤

[@jenniferlee1993]

You should come to see Lagoon in Farmington Utah! It's been a place I have loved since I was a child. They have a wonderful Pioneer area with antique items! They also have a historic caroselle with handcarved horses!

[@jpskellington6195]

If interested in Caresels, next tine you are near Cedar Point, look up the Merry-go-round Museum close to downtown Sandusky.

[@Raees-Divitiae]

"Oops". That was a classic,

[@jdup300]

Planned a trip with the family for this park in August…It’s going to be our first time out to Carowinds and I’m super excited to experience this place! Thanks for the informative video.

[@shutterflyboy85]

Just read that Carowinds shutdown the "Fury 325" rollercoaster today due to cracks found in the metal track structure. It worries me the force that some of these new rides generate and I immediately think of carbon fiber submersibles going to the Titanic. Either going 2 miles down, 29,000 feet up on Everest or defying gravity on a metal track, it's all a matter of risk and liability. Your life depends on whomever is maintaining these machines you use.

[@jabrowski_]

Excellent video. Thank u Jacob

[@catholicactionbibleonlyist1813]

I am a fan of the fleurs-de-lis

[@joannesoltesz3026]

Love Carowinds

[@RalphPootawn0]

The light gun haunted dark ride seems to have almost identical props to the Scooby Doo Ghostblasters Ride that used to be at six flags Fiesta Texas. I'm guessing the same company built almost identical attractions

[@TheTWhite]

When Carowinds was Paramount Carowinds, it was Scooby Doo themed!

[@RalphPootawn0]

@@TheTWhite ah that explains it. Had a lot of fun with that as a kid at SFFT. Kinda sad that the scooby doo theming has gone away

[@janicewright6375]

Thanks Jacob. I was there the first year Thunder Road opened. Some of the coasters now are too intense for me. lol

The Intimidator is named after Dale Earnhardt

15:00 There's also Kang & Kodos' Twirl n Hurl at Universal Orlando 😂

[@thereviewguy06]

I'm also visiting the Carolinas at the moment. So disappointed in myself that I missed The Carpet bagger as I've been going to the park several times a week since I've arrived. If you're still in the Carolinas I'd love to meet up.

[@blakemauney]

I used to be a live shows performer at Carowinds during the Kings Productions/Taft Broadcasting days of the park. It hurts me to see what the park has become over the decades since it opened in 1973. All original theming has been stripped.... it now reminds me of a conglomeration of tacky fair rides, lots of hot asphalt and quite a 'blah' atmosphere. So glad I was part of the entertainment back in the original heyday of the venue. Great video work though.

[@allensherrill850]

I take it, that the taxes are the same for each state. Otherwise the venues would be confusing!

[@unclemetal8774]

The intimidator is named after Dale Earnhardt.

[@Savagemister]

I want to visit this park someday. It's been on my list for a while now. When I finally get there, I'll be too damn old to ride the coasters.

[@unicorn063]

Love the scrambler

Your reaction to The Vortex... hilarious! 😂

[@tommybo5328]

I was there back in 2000 a lot of fun!

[@purpledragon8368]

I used to operate the sky tower years ago along with some other rides that aren’t there anymore. The log flume and riverboat are a couple more rides. I also was a lifeguard for years there. 🙂

My hometown theme park! That whole area where the Hurler is used to be Wayne's World and that jukebox restaurant used to be a Stan Mikita's. The song Dream Weaver used to play all throughout that side of the park!

Hi Jacob 👋☺️ Carolina in my mind 😊 good that its celebrating the anniversary 1973- 2023 the amusement park, my middle brother will be 50 in August 9th. Thanks for sharing it looks fun there Jacob 🙂 you take care my friend.🙏📸

Thank you Jacob for posting this. I'm going to the park on June 19th and now I know what to expect with the new section looks awesome cannot wait

[@oregontrailgenxer]

Interesting new rides in the Flight-themed area indeed! You should do an interview with a person who creates these new rides. Would love to know how these are dreamt up

[@mrknowhere6457]

Carowinds is such a great park! Definitely one of the best in the country. The new flight themed area looks great! One downside is that their boo blasters is really out of shape and desperately needs some reapirs

[@vtheg4842]

They announced they are renovating it! It will be completely revamped next season!

I saw the one in Charlotte from an airplane once. It was awesome!

[@robertseptim3579]

“Our crotches are not safe!” 🤣

[@lawman7117]

Just a slight factual clarification...the first flight took place at Kitty Hawk, near Kill Devil Hills in North Carolina on the Outer Banks. Not Wrightsville Beach. It was indeed by the Wright Brothers...Orville and Wilbur Wright originally from Ohio. This is why NC license plates say "First in-flight!"

[@mizu_the_floatzel]

This just came to my head. How does somebody walk in that park with their phone out because Google has this feature to tell you that you entered another state so If my brain processes this right, your phone will be constantly going off saying welcome to South Carolina and then says welcome to North Carolina constantly when you're walking across the park lol xD

[@vtheg4842]

That’s only if u have your gps on…

That Gear Spinner. I bet it takes forever for them to load and unload riders.

Good point, I didn’t observe that happening but it seems like it would be very slow. I know a lot of parks try to stay away from stuff that takes forever to load like “The Spider”

Just hasn’t been the same since Paramount sold the park and all the licensing was lost. Listening to Danger Zone in line for Top Gun was amazing.

[@jeffrinks6449]

One of my nephews was born in South Carolina... so maybe I can tell him that there's a theme park that is in his birth state, but is part of another state as well!!! I feel bad for him... because early this week, he broke a collarbone... but he shouldn't feel bad, because when I was a baby... I rolled off our couch and my mom tried to catch me, but was too late and I ended up with a broken collarbone!!! Me and my mom don't remember if it was my left or right!!!

[@jg_in_hd]

I actually like the Vortex

[@TonyPunkRock]

All I think about is how do the taxes work? First, entry. Is it spilt amongst the states? Next, purchases within the park. Do you have different tax rates for food or beverages in the different state? What about property tax? Is one cheaper than the other? Is it more beneficial to build additions in one state than the other?? 😂😂😂

[@robertbiastre6037]

Loved the tour Jacob!!!
