Hi, Jacob! I'm the tall bearded guy that recognized you in the ride midway area near Alien Abduction, and said hello... I was a little "star struck" in the moment, and at a loss for words, but it was really cool meeting you in person!!

[@ladywolfbane02]

That drummer is Neal Peart from Rush. One of the best drummers in history, he is definitely missed.

[@edaltounian7118]

Exactly!

[@carlgray523]

Totally!!!!

[@arrowguy173]

❤❤ Saw him many times. RUSH was incredible- 3 guys that sounded like 20 and very entertaining.

[@arrowguy173]

Plus he wrote most of their lyrics and mostly traveled to shows on his motorcycle, authoring books as well. Neil was an incredible talent on so many levels. Some of the most technically difficult drumming to learn.

[@thankyoubrandon8530]

Neil rules! Most talented drummer in history.

[@SupermanSuperSite]

That first scare crow was not a scare-cat or scaredy-cat but "Ms. Wuf", the NC State University wolf mascot for their NCAA women's athletics division.

[@FluffyLemurTails]

NC State University is down the road from the fair. Her dress has the NC State logo on the front. To be fair, her snout should be more wolf like.

[@mikehughes4969]

Not going to lie, I found myself singing along with the vegetables. Made me feel like a kid again, if only for a moment. Only four more to go until you're half way there, although Alaska and Hawaii are going to be interesting get to.

[@TheCarpetbagger]

I’m a big fan of any animatronic band

[@suicidality2744]

​@@TheCarpetbaggerWill The Carpetbagger ever go international? Film attractions in London, Paris, etc?

[@syedhamidi5643]

It's kinda fascinating to see every state have their own statefair. I hope my country have the same thing 😢😂

[@Themeparkhero]

What country are you from? In the USA not only do most states have state fairs but a lot of counties do also(smaller sections of a state)

[@karen4you]

I think this is my most favorite fair so far. So many well maintained rides. Cute things like dragon coaster and singing vegetables.

[@aliencafe]

Jacob, I've been injured for the past two months and things have been really hard for me. Your videos have been making me smile and feel less cooped up in the house and keeping my spirits up, I appreciate it so much!

[@gstevens6948]

Get better soon…

[@elsiegon7118]

Lol. There’s nothing Haunted about “The Haunteeeed!!” But Once again Great work, Jacob!! I wish I were there , too❤

[@rdmeenach]

That first Haunted ride was so bad, it was enjoyable!

[@ou8venus2]

I get so sick just smelling the food and thinking of when I was a child and would throw up after rides. It looks fun but I just have those memories that ruin fairs for me. I am in NC and my daughter was there that day so I can’t help but watch closely and look for her, lmao. You are so fun Jacob. Thanks for the videos.

[@HandsFullHeartFull]

Jacob - that is not a Scare Cat it’s a scare wolf. NC State Wolfpack mascot

[@billjohnson8720]

Once again enjoying your adventures at the state fair.😊 Wouldn't it be cool if someone had a contest to come up ideas for fun houses and dark rides. The fun houses seem to all have the same components to them. The only thing that is different is their freshly painted themed facades. I played on those almost 50 years ago. The haunted dark ride could definitely use some re-imagining for sure. Lol! I love your channel Jacob and always look forward to your amazing adventures.

[@MissouriPenny]

Love your adventures 💕. Thanks for taking us along .😊😊😊😊

[@purpledragon8368]

I have lived here in the Carolina’s for over 20 years and never been to Raleigh. I so would love to go the NC fair. Looks like you picked a perfect day, I’ve always been told it’s so crowded.

[@MrRyguy2112]

As a Rush fan midly upset at not recognizing Neil Peart. Lol One of the greatest rock drummers ever to play. He will be missed.

[@StaceyTheMod]

Drummer on Rockstar ride = Neil Peart (Rush) Another quality video, Jacob!

[@davidabrown92]

I really had a great time seeing everything there Saturday I was there helping my friends give out wrist bands we got there early before it opened up to public and the wrist band was the way to go. The arena was amazing too I walked around there and where the flowers were and scarecrows it was so amazing I enjoyed my funnel cake and Sausage dog unfortunately it rained whole day we was there I was soaked rides opened later that day though but I enjoyed it I'll definitely be back next year for the fair I enjoyed the crafts potteries food competitions agriculture barn the animals it was great I was kinda sad I didn't ride anything but I would have had got soaked even more though but well worth the trip to Raleigh. They had allot of construction going on though so hopefully all that will be done soon the roads were soggy and I'm glad they finally paved it there the last time I went it was just grass in some spots

[@HarryNansen]

I just came here from watching your "Pure Terror Scream Park" video. I have to say that the "The Haunted" ride from this one is a rather sleep-inducing experience in comparison.

[@brianking973]

I have to many head injuries to ride those rides. I give it to ya man for doing them

[@debrarichard5631]

I've watched you for years you are Awesome 👍💪😊❤️

[@FluffyFurryDrama]

2:26 She's Mrs Wuf from NC State. I don't know why she looks like a cat, but she's a 🐺.

[@randomchaos5139]

That Lemmy mural is awesome. I always loved Motorhead and before that he was in Hawkwind. As well as a couple other bands before that

[@mimimims5842]

I am super impressed with the SC fair! The area is beautiful with all the trees and lake. Putting going to SC on the bucket list. Thanks, I love the state fair videos.

[@talfacprez]

The drummer you didn't know is the late Neil Peart who was in the band Rush.

[@lennamolter2401]

One of the singers on the ride was Alice Cooper. The sining vegetables were hilarious. Another great one. Thank you for taking us along.

[@amberhedglin]

That downdraft reminds me of the swing around that kennywood used to have.

[@jdr26th]

Sorry we missed you, we went on Wednesday. I'm glad to see some more Old North State attractions.

[@JM8T]

drummer is neil peart from rush

[@MrGretzky9966]

Boy to bad I didn’t know you were going out to the fair I would have loved to have meet you. Keep safe and have fun while I watch your adventures.

[@Savagemister]

The Louisiana State Fair starts October 26th, in Shreveport. Im aiming for opening day.

[@peedeesanddigger4862]

Hey buddy, the South Carolina State fair is going on til Sunday. Thanks

[@allensherrill850]

A fair full of diabolical rides 😮

[@history_leisure]

22:32 they often look like barns and are more common as a family ride at smaller parks in Europe

[@stephenmcgraw8871]

Mural:Neil Peart/Rush,drummer-top...Alice Cooper(of course)between Lemmy and Janis......Lita Ford,bottom left....Angus Young/AC/DC,top left....Jimmy Page/Zep,bottom left on right side...."Uncle"Ted Nugent,top left on right side....Slash/G`N`R,center on right side....Darrell "Dimebag" Abbott/Pantera,top right on right side....and there`s too many things in the way to ID the one on the bottom right on the right side.....

[@history_leisure]

19:47 He's from Rush, I'll probably spell his name wrong- Neil something (RIP)

[@stew6662]

I’ve only seen half this video and I can tell you it’s 1000x better than the mobile dark rides that come to the south Florida fair. I just went on one yesterday and all except for one large static skeleton head was dark and empty.

[@gypsymoontarotofficial]

Drummer is Neil Peart from Rush, then Angus Young Ac/Dc Alice Cooper.... That Diesel Punk funhouse reminds me of the one in Grease only it's painted differently. This Fair looked like tons of fun and the rides looked in nice condition too!

[@christinabrown6994]

I met you after the 2,000lb pumpkins! Awesome video, happy to see it! It was great to meet you! ☺️

[@ArcadeGenius]

My favorite ride downdraft

[@markzeahammer183]

It was funny when Carpetbagger was filming the military robot equipt with a grabber, and it turned toward that child and the child became alarmed.

[@amberhedglin]

That ride reminds me of the swing around that used to be at Kennywood.

[@timemerich]

thanks Jacob, this was a nice one!

[@pwhite2579]

was there on Monday and Tuesday! First scarecrow (cat?) was Wolfie ... NC state female wolf mascot!

[@lisacoston9373]

Oh the Animatronic Band was the best!

[@gstevens6948]

6:14 that’s the “NEW” zipper, retro-fitted with over the shoulder harnesses in the cars. Probably not as scary as being thrown all around inside the old cars. 😂

[@jasonpruitt4491]

Neil Peart of Rush is the Drummer

[@billrogers1740]

Jacob, Thank you for this tour of The N Carolina State Fair. I love fairs love watching the rides , exhibits and enjoy the food choices. I used to go to alot of different fairs up here in Michigan and some in Florida, Minnesota and one in Ohio. Use to take alot of pics and videos. The videos of yours helps me see alot of fairs I probably never get to in Person. Hope to see more and other places you go to. Later.

[@parttimepiratemb]

[@bearbeartime7082]

That fair look anazing fun thank you 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@stephenmcgraw8871]

It`s "Only you can prevent FOREST fires"........classic.....I think "The Asylum" was scarier on the outside than the inside--lol...

[@kevinsmoak7921]

Carpet bagger come on to Columbia South Carolina for our state Fair. 3 days left.

[@lacollaros3641]

I enjoyed the flowers, the contests and funhouse. Thanks for sharing.

[@delennfire1761]

I've been 2 the C.W. Parker Carousel Museum & the Abilene carousel but, not this fair!

[@markzeahammer183]

The paintings on The ASYLUM ride are exceptional.

[@lissachocolate]

The Downdraft ride looked fun to me but was traumatic to you. Love sky rides. The animatronic singing veggies show was great. In general, I wonder if dark rides are ever repaired once the scare objects quit working or they just keep running them as long as the cars still work? Same for the fun houses. Except for the artwork outside, they are the same inside.

[@mr_jake.y8348]

Not bad one handed. Good video Mr CB.

[@downtownbrown35]

The singing veggies were the best!

[@sharonwright4429]

Love the state fair videos...! I always enjoy watching all your videos...can't wait for what's next!!

[@zig_zagman]

That's a huge fair! A skyride is always a good time.

[@alanwilliamson6421]

Always

[@nancyvarkalis8660]

Lol -sign of the times , butter is so expensive no butter sculpture . Love the fair vlogs .

[@jellydonutdrummer]

That drummer is the Professor, Neil Peart from Rush.

[@raleighfan9640]

Glad you could hold onto your hat! 😊 Thank you for the video! 😀🎡 Awesome job!

[@colleenochs4728]

Very nice fair !

[@user-hf9gn8vc6y]

Hi Jacob, Wish I knew you were coming. I live 1/2 mile from the fairgrounds. Would have loved to meet you. Love your videos. Thanks for all of your hard work!!

[@spencerhicks9706]

[@TheGatlinburgHussey]

[@arrowguy173]

Awesome midway! Zipper, Orbiter, Fireball, Sizzler, multiple dark rides…

[@mcwatersd]

[@marshmallows5641]

[@dianadelahaye7660]

[@allensherrill850]

[@gailsugg5136]

Great job, Jacob! My favorite part was the exhibits 😊

[@eijkel22]

Awesome 👍😃🤩👌

[@margaretwolak9849]

[@dianneC1979]

Looks like a fun time🎉

[@bearbeartime7082]

Slash from guns and roses with the the top hat

[@reesescupps]

Thank you for showing the carousel! I always wondered what happened to it after they took it out of the Florence Mall in Florence, KY.

[@viviennemorgan7217]

i love it so much, an animatronic band and a lot of dark rides love it.

[@viviennemorgan7217]

[@guygrip9634]

[@alanwilliamson6421]

[@juliedurham1831]

[@ncbbq1]

Wow...Jacob...being a NC resident, would LOVE to see you do a video on some good ole' Eastern nc bbq 🐽 😋...maybe some Parkers in Wilson, Wilber's & McCall's in Goldsboro, Grady's in Dudley, Skylight in Ayden????

[@alliekuma4234]

I hope to be as cool as DJ Broccoli one day.

[@craigholstine2154]

Was looking at the fair rides. You can re-paint them in different colors. Still the same old fair rides from my childhood.

[@Wiikid777]

I can’t believe you were here!

[@shanepleasants6280]

Dude you could go to every fair as many times as you want I’ll be watching. Keep up the great work by far my favorite KZbin creator and the best all around in my opinion.

[@Savagemister]

the ride at 16:09 is the most fun, but its usually stupid expensive.

[@izaakz12]

Great video

[@markisb3585]

I went to the Nc state fair last Saturday. It is one of the largest state fairs in the country

[@Boris_helper]

Hope you tried some of our cheerwine whilst you were there!

[@barbarah9917]

Great vid!!!!😁

[@BlackburnBigdragon]

The coolest animatronic band that I ever saw is this robot band art project thing called, "Compressorhead". They were this robot metal band that looked like the skeleton robots from The Terminator, decided to form a band. Clearly there was no band that was more metal than this band since... they were made of metal. I remember the audience going nuts for it.

[@Corgis175]

Now this is a fair. Loved the Melody Farms Veggie automatronic show and Smokey the Bear best.

[@RichyRich2221]

Drummer= Neal Peart, famous drummer with the canadian band RUSH, sadly no longer with us.

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Good morning Jacob State fair on a roll lol thanks for sharing this. Awesome 😎👍🤓📸 happy Halloween 🎃👻

[@karencombs3089]

You're in my neck of the woods!

[@ScottyMania313]

Brotha, awesome video.I think the drummer might have been Neil Peart from Rush. The rides list looks solid. Happy Travels mate
