Anakeesta - United Tastes of America - Eating Around the Country and Riding Mountain Coasters! 

Just got engaged at anakeesta last weekend!

Carpetbagger, I just wanted to say that when I was dealing with some horrible anxiety a few years ago, watching you just wander museums and show off cool exhibits was easily one of the best ways for me to calm down and let my mind relax for a bit. To this day I keep coming back when I have an off day. Appreciate it, king

That scream was PRICELESS

Seeing you scream on those mountain rides has been the highlight of my day 😂 Thank you!

Just wanted to thank you you've become an everyday watch in my household I love and watch every video you post and thank you too your loved ones for allowing you to put a smile on people's faces everyday !!!

I love Gatlinburg so much. Screaming down the mountain... priceless. 😄

Jacob the Carpetbagger and A Study in Fear and Terror. Case #1 begins at 10:21 with his famous catchphrase "And our chariot...awaits." Notice how Jacob goes from "I'm ready!" to "I hate this!" in less than three seconds! Case #2 begins at 36:31 with an abbreviated "And our chariot awaits here." Now notice how in just a few seconds, Jacob goes from having the best time on a mountain coaster at 37:10 to once again petrified, terrified, and any other "ified" words you can think of. But think of this...he does it just for US! Just so we can vicariously enjoy the thrills from the safety of our screens. Thank you, Jacob. I've been having a TERRIBLE business trip, and you made it all so much easier. :) THANKS AGAIN! Time to up my Patreon support! :) And hey, when you bring Jenn to Anakeesta, can she ride those and have a cam with her too? I'd love to see how she enjoys it!!!

"This is a mistake. I should have never entered this realm". hahahaha

Awww! You definitely deserve to control your own speed, Mr. Bagger. You're awesome. Your videos ALWAYS a treat to enjoy. We, your audience, laugh with you, Always.

Thank you Jacob for letting explore the entire country.

Seeing you scream on those mountain rides have been the highlight of my day. Thank you and stay safe Jacob! 🤣😂😁

Your scream is the literal embodiment of "calm before the storm".

54:41 The sun just came out after the pouring rain and you're surprised that the seat is wet. Gotta love ya.❤

Jacob, thanks for doing the mountain coaster. And doing all the other scary rides. Because of major health issues, I'm not able to do fun things anymore. And don't feel bad about screaming on mountain coaster. I would have too. Thanks for all te videos you do. Your helping alot of people to experience fun things thru you. Don't ever change. Love you and Jenny. Stat safe. ❤😂😮😲😳😵‍💫👏

This vlog made me very anxious. 😂

The screams of terrified Jake, always make me laugh! Great video as always!

Finally, they should be drying off The seats with Towels and another great video Jacob.Thank you I enjoyed it

Another win-what a fantastic day. Everything you have done here is so exciting. You are so brave to go on those coasters and swinging bridges. Thanks for taking us along.

Sounds like you had a delicious time!

Lunch tastes better with a Carpetbagger video one. It's like new age travel channel!!

You can get Dole whip at Sheetz for just $2 to fill a large cup as of last year at various locations.

Kudos to your RU-vid Channel, Jacob! 👍👍👍👍

I'm sorry Jacob but when you went down that hill it was the laugh I needed! ( Been sick) I watch you everyday. I hope if you come to central Florida again one day I'd like a meet and greet. Your show is my FAVORITE. Your Hoosier Friend.

Why? Why does Jacob continues to terrify himself? For our amusement, that's why. Jacob, I apologize for continuously laughing myself silly at your terror and thank you for tolerating my existence.

😂 i am watching you now and you screaming down the mountain coaster made me laugh so hard.....i am so sorry...but your scream sounded unreal😂😂😂

The squirting paint flowers are an UNBELIEVABLY adorable idea. 🌼❤

Love the smokiness over the mountains at the end, after the rain. So very beautiful. How appropriately the mountains are named.

Looks like an amazing place, l love how they dress up the bears 🐻. Great video, Jacob. Till the next safe travels my friend and take care.

Just imagine hearing Jacobs screams through the forest LOL 10:29

Thankyou for taking me there, my travel Buddy!!🤗🥰❤ I loved it !!! Beautiful place!!!!👍👏👏👏

Looks like that food pass was worth it

I always enjoy your visits to TN. I've only been once when I was a kid. Loved everything about TN. The food was delicious and the people were very friendly.

That rain really came down 😮

Jacob thanks for doing a video about Anakeesta. I don't live very far away and I enjoy seeing how other creators report on their visit. Although the open air Ridge Runners are less scenic in a way, you will see more wildlife and that includes those Smoky Mountain Bears. I think the best time to visit Anakeesta Theme Park is during the off-season. The park is open year-round, but the crowds are usually thinner during the winter months. During the busy fall and winter months, I recommend visiting Anakeesta at night to watch the sunset, enjoy a fire pit, or go upscale dining. Anakeesta also has a nighttime attraction called Lumina Enchanted Night Walk, where new groups can enter every 15 minutes from 6-9:30 PM.

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

Greetings from Poteet Texas. Thanks for your your great video looks like you had a good time.that was the smallest chicken Fried steak I ever Sean.

There’s a place in Charlotte NC that has dole whip. Very tasty. 😋

I loved all the different birdhouses. How cute! ❤ Good job on the coaster dude, gotta love the screaming. Lol 😂Thank you for taking us all here with you. 😊

That is a lot of food😮An interesting place.

Thank you for amusing me. Love you Jacob. 💜 I was not able to ride the one time I was there, they were closing.😢 I always know where to come to get my daily smiles..The Carpetbagger channel

😂😂🤣 too much adorableness in a single video. From Jacob riding the coaster to the bear statue. TEDDYBEAR ROOSEVELT IS JUST PERFECT 🥸🐻

No way Well be there next week. So 😊 excited

I went on that rail runner coaster a few years ago. Never again!

I've driven on those windy mountain roads a lot in my lifetime...I would trust the lifts more lmao

That flavorless chorizo taco reminds me of the time I ate Mexican food in a small Central Illinois town. It was SO bland, clearly made for people who think onions are "too spicy," lol. Anyway, I'm glad to see you've been sticking close to home for a few days. I hope you get some good rest before whenever your next big trip is!

Gorgeous breathtaking view on top of the tower.

"Let's bend some hell." 😂😂😂

Risky wearing crocs on the chair lift! 😂

Good morning watching from WA state thank you Jacob for another great video.

Been watching your channel for years, it was awesome seeing you out in the wild doing your thing.

33:31 your bird call sounds like "ca-ca" lol I joke.

Loved this adventure. I remember when you went at Christmas time, and it was lovely!! And that headband is not ridiculous!! It's fabulous, just like Jen!

You were so lucky you got to have that nice day before it rained!

THAT 😱!!! JACOB 😂!!

Willow makes me think of the hidden giant trolls throughout the country. Hopefully you find some others to visit.

Just that view from the tower...even that by itself, must mean so much to those at home who can't get out.

love the bears!

Awesome video as always Jacob and love hearing you scream in joy 😂

Jason, thanks for bringing this place to us. Just another place for the bucket list. Again Thanks!!

Thank you Jacob. Anakeesta is beautiful .

Love the new camera very appreciative of revisiting stuff in Tennessee in HD and i absolutely cannot wait until haunt season

The bird houses were so cool!

10:29 babies at 2:00 am

Hey Jacob you should go to Cryptid con in McMinnville Tn on August 10 9am to 5pm

Is that a bear at 11:14 ?!?!?!?

What a cool park! Thanks for taking us along on your adventure!

I like the seasonal decor... do they do the same kind of thing year-round (Halloween, Christmas, etc)?🙂

We love your ability to do things you don’t like just for us. I actually laughed! Thanks Jason. You da man!!!

Quick Italian beef recipe from Chicago. 1 40oz Beer 2lb of London broil Two jars of Marzettis sweet pickled cherry peppers 1/4 C sugar or splenda Optional hot banana peppers or jalapeños

I think I’d have to ride the truck! 🐔

That scream you did ill hear in my sleep.

Oh thank you SO much… your pure terror is food for my soul! Sorry, not sorry. MORE!!!

I will be in Gatlinburg in August and am looking forward to seeing some of the places you've shown throughout the years. It will be my very first time visiting Gatlinburg and it's because of you. Thank you

I used to do the one in action Park. It was a concrete slide and the breaks barely worked so we would always crash into people at the end. it was so much fun watching people scramble to get the hell off the cart in front of them 😂

Your videos help me get through a good work day! Thank you!

I like how you said you were in the Appalachian mountains and not the Smoky Mountains. Lol

Thank you Jacob for another great video.

I’m literally crying having bad day…hearing this laugh made me laugh thanks the Hellbender was the best!

Jacob...another great video. You threw in a "whyyyyyyy" on the Hellbender. That made my day.

$12 for that Chicago dog is ridiculous things was tiny.

Good Evening Jacob 🙋🏽.

I'm glad you bought the annual pass, looking forward to more Anakeesta videos!!!

Bernhiem forest in Ky has the willow things there. 😊

You should have purchased the Willow Adult T shirt. Great place but I'd pass on the slides and the downhill rides.

Oh no! We missed you!!!! We are currently visiting Pigeon forge/Gatlinburg because of you! I am so sad we missed you. Tomorrow we are going to anakeesta. It would have been an honor to have met you! Keep up your amazing videos and fun energy you always bring to your videos. ❤😊

Sure, you may scream like a 12 year old girl, but I give you a lot of credit for being willing to go on stuff that I wouldn't go near.

Thank God I was able to ride it when I was smaller.

Fantastic video! Looks like an awesome family destination.

Definitely bring Jen! She’s funny and seems cool to hang out with 😊

I’d be afraid a bear would run out of the woods and get me, or get on the track and I’d hit it. 😮

You gotta admit jacob you may visit the rest of America but you do live in a spectacular beautiful area . I've seen some amazing views on jenns recent travel vids

Thank you Jacob! That was fun! Best, Rich (& Brenda, who was an OZARK gal) 😊😊

The pass sounds cool maybe jenn can try fight her fear of chairlifts or the cabins etc next time you visit 😊

I always remember my Italian beef sandwhiches from my travels to Chicago looking more like a hot roast beef sand which than looking like a cheesesteak. I LOVE real Chicago Dogs!!!

100% right on the neon green relish. That’s a vienna beef staple.

Always enjoy a trip to Gatlinburg!

Your unexpected screams going down that coaster had me CACKLING lol. Also, that Osmo Action Cam looks good!

As a TN native one thing I can say is that Tennesseeans LOVE the 4th of july, they will start setting of fireworks in may 😂

The one with butter is called a connecticut Lobster roll

No glass floors, LOL..😮O.M g
