Animatronic Bands! Mold-A-Ramas! Titanic Exhibit! Dinosaurs! What's New at the Volo Museum?

[@12345maxtor]

OGs of this channel will remember when an animatronic band almost wore Jacob's skin and glasses......good times

[@gerimorales3337]

Yes omg I remember that!!

[@tylerjpauls2334]

What was that?

[@Randomnessedits01]

Same 🎉🐀

[@mickeyfans1928]

I remember that he went to visit the kings

[@MikeKellyFromOrlando]

We laughed out loud when we saw the reaction from those two guys after you said…king of the world 😂 14:45

[@Beetlejuice_88]

I was like he isn't going to do that with those dude there, then I was in disbelief that he did do it and laughing at the odd looks he garnered for it lol

[@hounddogproductions]

It was super cool to meet you at Volo! I was the one that came up to you at the pirates! Definitely made my trip that much more awesome!

[@filip_389]

where have you been?? It’s been months since your last video I can’t wait for a new one 😢

[@Brandon_the_inflatable_expert]

I met him at spirit halloween flagship opening he was super nice.

[@dansp91]

AWESOME PLACE!!!! Animatronics and mold o matics!!!!!

[@jondavis5142]

There is a small 'oasis' type of structure on interstate 44 in the Vinita, OK area. Used to be 'the glass house' restaurant. Now it holds a McDonalds, Subway, gift shop and a gas station.

[@Mechasonicrocks]

7:40 Slight correction: That is the Batcycle made initially for the 1966 feature film adaptation of the Adam West TV series, and then subsequently used for said TV series after the movie left theaters. The TV show had its own variation of the Batcycle (which was used on loan and therefore got featured in only one episode, titled "Not Yet He Ain't"), with less visual flair and looking more like just a plain old motorcycle with some "bat" themed highlights whereas the feature film's increased studio budget allowed for more bodywork to be done for the Batcycle seen at this auto museum.

[@mikehughes4969]

I was maybe five or six when I first went to the Volo auto muesem, specifically to see the Batmobile. I even dressed up in my Batman costume. So we were talking pictures, when the owner saw this, and offered to let me sit behind the wheel. Still one of my treasured childhood memories.

[@GreenGamerNathan]

This is the only vlog of this place Ive watched and I already wanna go here

[@Lockbar]

A lady yelling at you, a typical WELCOME TO ILLINOIS in todays world. BTW..there is a oasis still opperating near Rockford. The Belvedere Oasis.

[@jessicacarranza4010]

Lol maybe she must be a Karen 😂

[@rachaelk7866]

​@@jessicacarranza4010 bet he was too nice to say ok Karen or f off lol

[@Neverhome365]

Nice you’re right down the road from me in volo. The it’s history channel did a episode on the oasis’s.

[@unicorn063]

Thankyou Jacob for taking me with you I had a blast at this museum ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@BreezyMaplesFarm]

It’s not out west but the New York State Fair is huge and runs through Labor Day weekend.

[@SquarePegs]

Whenever we make the drive from Kalamazoo over to Wisconsin, we make a point to stop at an Oasis. One of my favorite little things to experience on a road trip. :)

[@Thecorgially]

You could spend a day here. My favorite was the carousel and the Jurrasic Park section.

[@NathanSpies]

The Volo auto Museum is definitely a bucket list place for me to visit! Although I do hope they can fix the pizza time theater animatronics since some look a little rough.

[@viviennemorgan7217]

hey it's nathan.

[@matthewfarmer2520]

Good morning Jacob 🌞 your a treat to see going places. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.🤓📸👍

[@kathypellette2509]

Fascinating and fun! What a joy to see all these wonderful vintage machines!

[@1987Megs]

I got a little nervous when you were near The King. Carful Jacob!

[@shauno5888]

You two aren't the only ones who enjoyed the Munsters; my gf and myself had a blast watching it, too. The guy who played Herman gave 150% every time he was onscreen.

[@BuckarooBanzai84]

Actually, the Ecto-1 from the OG movie was an ambulance. The one from 2016 was a hearse. ; )

[@annaschuster9811]

don't let her get to you jacob they didnt lock the doors it' their fault

[@rachaelk7866]

Also she could have just said we are closed nicely .. not be all Karen about it .. I would have filmed her and laughed

[@dragonvader8156]

😊Great to see these state fair videos!! But don’t forget us in Canada! The CNE (Canadian National Exhibition) in Toronto starts tomorrow and is supposed to be even bigger than your last visit post COVID!! Has North Americas largest Ferris wheel !! Are u coming??

[@gordonwchas]

There are 4 oases left in Illinois - Belvedere, Dekalb, Lake Forest and that one you went to. The mirror on the iron lung was angled so they could look at who they were talking to while lying down.

[@maryburbach6317]

I was just at the volo auto museum last week! The titanic exhibit was small but very informative, only 20 min away from my home, I always get geeked out when your at locations by me!!

[@history_leisure]

I remember the first rest stop my group got at in Switzerland. It didn’t sit on top of the highway (there was one in Italy I saw, never went in, that was like that) but on the top floor restaura (it was like 2-3 floors) that gave the illusion of that feeling

[@JennyBastet]

I'm a Titanic Geek 🙈 and this little Museum was so cute ♥️🙏

[@Jack_Walten32]

wait till you hear about titanic 2

[@rampagingelephant7353]

I've loved seeing how Volo's evolved over the years. They have something for everybody there.

[@andreapatane4204]

The Animatronic Bands are very similar to the Audio-Animatronics that you see on plenty of theme park attractions. 😂😂

[@richg.4285]

Fun Fact: Butch Patrick (Eddie Munster) owns one of the original Munster mobiles. Saw him at a comic con a couple of years ago, with the car outside charging for rides with him in it.

[@robylove9190]

The Volo is awesome! Thanks for taking us along.

[@mcwatersd]

What an awesome place .So much to see . Everything from amazing cars to kiddy rides, dinosaurs it seems endless . Those oasis seem like a great place to stop on a trip.Have never seen that before. Is it my imagination or did the moldo ramas go up in price . Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤

[@fireman1294]

OH MY GOD!!!!!! I grew up and lived in Valparaiso Indiana as well. It’s a small world Carpetbagger.

[@JillMamaDinga]

Wow you were not far fronmm me yesterday when you were at the Volo Auto Museum!

[@GLI1346101]

1:32 My best friend had that similar situation with divorced parents sadly. Except it was not a travel plaza oasis due to no toll roads in Tennessee. My friend dad's moved to Kentucky in the year 2000 at age 8 when his dad took a job offer in Lexington, the mom stayed in Louisiana. So his dad and him would drive from Lexington to Memphis, TN, meet his ex at a Walmart parking lot or a convenience store parking lot, hand my friend over to his ex, and his mom would drive him the rest of the way to Ruston, LA. Fortunately, my best friend and I don't have to worry about that anymore. We are adults now and in our early 30s, neither of his parents live in those states anymore. Mother lives in New Hampshire while the dad lives in eastern North Carolina. I think Northwest Airlines had a hub in Memphis, TN INTL Airport at one point which was very convenient for my best friend, direct one stop flight and change planes in Memphis before Delta merged with Northwest and closed the Memphis hub. So he could fly there that way then.

[@mattroslund5312]

Lake Forest Oasis was open last time I was through there about a year ago... north of Gurnee I remember them fondly from family vacation trips between Milwaukee and Michigan (lower) ... Seem to remember another one in Michigan City near the Indiana border... But most importantly my recollections of the Oases always involved a HoJo's (Howard Johnson's) 😊

[@niecey7492]

I am a little late watching this, surprisingly. I really enjoyed this adventure at the museum. It gets me excited to visit museums we want to go to in PA. One is Barry's Car Barn outside of Lancaster.

[@j.prisco5594]

I'm old enough to remember Howard Johnson's restaurant at the oasis. It was a big deal to get the clam chowder and watch the cars go underneath!!!

[@wyattmedley2426]

I think your mold collection would make a great collection to maybe display in a different room outside the bunker? Or maybe you can make shelves that hold them to go around the top part if the walls. Also i bet your extras would make great trade bait for other ones you dont have with others who want ones you have. All love Jacob, I have your pin in my car so we can go on adventures together because that is a bucket list dream of mine to go on a dark ride or something with you ir be that plus one when you need it 😄

[@carriezalud7245]

Belvedere IL on interstate 90 still has an oasis. We go to volo for antiques but I have never been in those museum rooms. I will have to check them out.

[@SLYGARR]

Missed the Rat Patrol Jeep with the mounted Machine Gun. The German Helmet car is the Red Baron which I had as a model when I was a Kid.

[@NafNasty]

The man at 11:01 reminds of the cemetery caretaker from Disney Haunted Mansion ride.

[@minifan77]

My friend is the marketing director at Volo museum. It’s definitely a great museum and antique store.

[@talfacprez]

Tulsa State Fair in Oklahoma starts during the last week of September and ends during the first week in October.

[@alliekuma4234]

RIP Mickey's face lol

[@yallthought8444]

I live like 20 minutes from here and I've been to the antique malls but never the auto and dino museum, they look cool though!

[@Carolb66]

Jacob you are a legend! Your interaction with brain man was priceless! great video as always. Stay safe see you at the state fairs. ❤❤❤😅😅😅

[@melanieiwasko6010]

Oooooh! Taking a ride on Superman. Looks kinky! 🦸

[@angelarowe3472]

Just as an FYI carpet bagger, Jacob, This is the second time I think I commented when you went to the red Baron hot wheels car didn’t know what it was called but it was from snoopy and Charlie Brown, mainly snoopy, always trying to catch the red Baron but that’s what that car is a duplex of. And it’s a hot wheels, red baron car just an FYI😊

[@alexgeorge501]

What a unique and amazing museum you went to! love the collection of retro cars you got to see along with several other exhibits on classic pop culture icons, enjoy the rest of your roadtrip and cya on the next stop!

[@penxor53]

17:15 side note, saying you are 'friends of Dorothy' means you are gay looking for other friends

[@TheTheresaYoung]

One of my favorite places you have ever gone too. This is so cool!

[@metaridley0015]

I remember they used to have Wendy's salad bars at the oasis locations way back when, and bulk candy shops, always a fun stop on the way to Six Flags in Gurnee.

[@Savagemister]

I've never seen that oasis situation in this country. They have them all over UK....roadside services. Different though. The walkway over the road doesn't have any services though. The services are on both sides of the motorway so you can stop off whichever way you're traveling.

[@Legoless1979]

I'm pretty sure that the Oklahoma Arch in Vinita is still open! I stop there to fuel up all the time in my drive to see family between STL and Tulsa

[@hannahpape6606]

The oasis reminds me of our drives to six flags in gurnee. Wasn’t that far of a drive but with three kids (me and my brothers) the stop was almost always necessary.

[@animexgirl6936]

hi Jacob... Well maybe that dum lady should have made sure the doors were actually closed duhhh.. she did not need to be like that. Anyways Jacob I love the fairs you been going to so much fun thx for your vids love you Jacob.

[@ghosthost100]

11:04 looks like the Caretaker from the Haunted Mansion lol!

[@Victor-mc1sz]

The curse of the Camel strikes again! Poor Mickey getting his face demolished like that. Damn you Camel!!!!!!!!!!!😜

[@fireman1294]

The Hinsdale oasis had that huge indoor playground. There were originally 7 I believe 5 were over 294. 2 of the 5 are left over 294. There are 2 left one is in DeKalb which I believe the only one that doesn’t go over an interstate.

[@Ytcjstar1015]

Hey Jacob, I hope you can visit all the state fairs before they close I hope you get to as many as possible just remember we will always support you no matter what if you need to take time off do what best for your health is the most important thing we will be supporting you with what ever you decide. And I also hope you can take a trip Kings Dominion in Virginia on Labor Day weekend because I will be visiting there then. I want to meet you

[@8BitHawlucha]

Lynnwood Washington Chuck E Cheese used to have the Beagles when I was a kid. Me and my dad used to always sit by them every time.

[@latoyalloyd]

Awwww my dad used to work in South Holland , Illinois❤️

[@seantazelaar9807]

Further North is also the Lake Forest Oasis, just before you hit Wisconsin on 294-N.

[@lissachocolate]

That museum was amazing! Lots of fun things to see.

[@mr.midnight2154]

At the iowa state fair you have to ride YE old Mill. It's a free floating boat darkride that's been at the fair over 100 years

[@danmiller6800]

At first I thought the men by the titanic were some odd statues for some reason until they moved 😂

[@lyziemeowmeowmeow9787]

Hey Carpetbagger! Check out the Marine Corp Museum in Triangle, VA. It is like half an our south of DC. It has a bunch of immersive exhibits and will definitly change your opinion of military museums

[@BryanH63]

The rare ZOMBIE faced Mickey!!!

[@wizzwamf]

what an awesome museum a total experience thanks jacob

[@kirstenokesson2904]

Thankyou so much Jacob so many memories when I was a kids of show biz pizza!!! I would love for showbiz pizza to come back as a pizza place

[@hannahpape6606]

Also, there are many claims that the volo antique mall on the other side of the parking lot is haunted. Either was it’s pretty cool multiple floors of stuff

[@johnreese7973]

I need to get back to Volo, its a cool place.

[@jacquelinejanewashere]

That pink vw is gorgeous I've always wanted a vw bus to road trip around in maybe when I retire 🥰

[@lonesoul663]

31:02 Imagine a Carpetbagger version of the Vacation movie.

[@bjbresulla]

In Lompoc CA at a Chuck E Cheese they had the King Elvis animatronic in a side room. My parents would sit there and eat and drink a pitcher of beer while my sister and I ran around and did everything else😂.

[@ninjacats200]

I remember seeing one somewhere in West Virginia. I'll have to see if my brother remembers the name of it. I might have a photo of it. It had a burger king, a pizza hut, and a cinnabon. It had a few gift shops as well and those pamphlets with all the info about the state and local places to visit.

[@Shisizuwa]

20:50 Arnold Schwarzenegger father was one too. I have also not forgotten what similar words he used booo arni

[@schindlerbrady]

14:34 those calfs go crazyyyyyyy

[@Darth_Barnaby]

Very interresting video, but the "tank" 20:08 isnt a tank, but a german Armoured Personal Carrierer. Its a halftrack of the model Sd.Kfz. 251 Ausf. B (it could be a model A, but only 350 were made, so B is more likely. It could also be an old modified, Slovakian post war OT-810.) You can tell that its either a model A, B or C by how the rear doors bulge out (on the D theyre completely flat at an angle). The C has a different nose shape, which doesnt seem to be pressent. Nicknamed "Hanomag", a total of 15.000 were made durring the war, spread out on the 4 base models (A through D), and another 20 specilized variants

[@carrendowney5896]

I watch your adventures and I love them! I was wanting to let you know that a Sprit store is opening in the old Bed bath and Beyond store in Murfreesboro Tn. I work security at the outdoor mall. Please come and vist😊

[@BMell74]

I believe Lake Forest Oasis is still open. And btw Kenosha County Fair is open.

[@marywood7813]

It looks like 4 oases are still open: Lakeland Forest, Belvedere, Chicago Southland, and DeKalb

[@denisematthews6215]

It’s a shame you couldn’t get in the Oasis. I grew up with those being a part of my family’s travels to McHenry from Lansing, Illinois. It would have been fun to see!

[@thomasackerman5399]

Ugh, that Titanic exhibit is full of very awful misinformation. - The view from the bridge there shows a full moon. In fact, there was no moon at all that night. Combined with the absolute darkness, the still as a milpond waters, and a thermal inversion prevented the lookouts and bridge crew from spotting the iceberg sooner. And the binoculars wouldn't have helped since they provide a very narrow view ahead. The standard practice was for lookouts to use their own eyes and then use the binoculars to identify the object, be a ship, iceberg, rocks, etc. - 44 lifeboats were NOT removed from Titanic. The Olympic-class was designed by Alexander Carlisle to have upwards of 60 lifeboats, but this was a notional only. The Board of Trade laws were outdated and Carlisle put in the Welin davits (which could take up to two lifeboats per station in anticipation of the laws being updated. The laws never were updated and so the boats weren't added. It's a myth that was done to make the view better, but in fact the davit design would've kept the view the same even with 40 boats in place. Lifeboats in those days were viewed not to evacuate all the ship's passengers and crew, but to shuttle them from the stricken vessel the rescue ship or ships. As it was, Olympic and Titanic had more boats on them than the law required with 14 large clinker-built boats, 2 emergency cutters, and four collapsibles for 20 total. The laws stipulated for a ship Titanic's size only 16 were required. In other words, White Star Line provided 25% more lifeboats when they didn't have to! - There were THREE lifeboat drills! The first was at Belfast prior to Titanic's delivery to Southampton, the second was at Southampton on the morning the Titanic was scheduled to sail, and third was when the ship was underway. Would've been four, but one was cancelled on the very day of the sinking on Sunday the 14th. No one knows exactly why it was cancelled. The two wireless operators were NOT crew! They were employees of the Marconi Wireless Company, and their job was to be there to provide the novelty service of sending passenger messages (for a fee) and to receive them. Jack Phillips and McBride were indeed busy with messages, mostly as a consequence of 6-hour backlog due to the main set breaking down and then the two men fixing it and getting it back up and running in violation their company's rules which stipulated for them to switch over to the weaker backup set. But whenever they could, they did send messages from other ships to the bridge, but in this case, they did miss sending some of the crucial final ice warnings to the bridge.

[@julittaholt8433]

You should come to the Tulsa Oklahoma State Fair . It runs from September 28th to October 8th

[@bearbeartime7082]

[@swelch9825]

35:07 I could hear Mr. Krabs!😂 Great video! I should make a trip there!

[@Ohitsemmababy]

There’s still a Belvidere IL oasis!!

[@Brr9765]

Me and my boyfriend also loved the Munsters movie!!! It was super cute and sweet!!

[@history_leisure]

I guess there’s the modern trackless trains/trams in touristy areas, then there are those like that which are also called Traction Engines which I guess were more like tractors

[@SnackHeadCowboy]

That kid jumped out of his skin when the band started haha
