The creepy redheaded monster woman painted on the exterior of the haunted house is from the movie, House, with Ricard Moll. I also agree that that dark ride was one of the better ones I've seen.
@@vikinggnome I agree. If you haven't seen it already, I suggest the Japanese movie of the same name. I also love your username. Vikings and gnomes rule.
Jacob if you see this I just wanted to say that you probably the best youtuber I've seen so down to earth funny and wholesome I life your videos been watchin for about 3 years now you always cheer me up keep doing what your doing stay safe
@Maci Blackford This place has been around for a while. I have fond memories of my childhood at this place. I've taken my children and grandchildren here. Ronnie Millsap owned it once. He almost put it out of business.
I dont mean to be so off topic but does anyone know a way to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost the password. I love any help you can give me!
Almost all the animatronics in there were from Scarefactory! Very good company but very expensive. Definitely one of the highest budget Ghost Train type rides I’ve seen. I know you primarily do American travel but it would be cool to see you visit the one in Blackpool someday.
Jacob back in the 70s this was an amazing place and much different than today. Beech Bend has just about went under a few times due to changes in ownership and most of the original park is gone. I spent many of days at Beech Bend in my youth. They used to hold NHRA drags there and one of the greatest camping areas you could go to. Great vid.
Jacob: I remember the first “Gravatron” I first rode was in Wildwood, NJ. It was called the “Hell Hole” with the guy in the middle dressed as Satan. Still the best! Have you ever visited Del Grosso’s Park near Altoona, PA? Old school park, smattered, but with an amazing water park. They were closed in 2020 because of COVID, but should be open in 2021.
Thank you Jacob for showing me the changes in a favorite amusement park of my youth. It's been 40 years ago, but the memories of my 16 birthday at beach bend are still alive.
my favorite memory of Beech Bend is the ride operator letting us ride the Wild Mouse literally in the middle of a thunder storm and lightning hitting really close to us! thought I was going to die
nah bc i remember my sisters riding the wild mouse during that thunderstorm... lol. we go every year, its so fun. im not a big fan of the big rides bc im scared of heights, fast and spinning things so i mostly just ride the "baby" rides with the little ones lol. but the waterpark is also very fun !!
I love scary dark rides!! It's a good way to enjoy the horror while feeling safe in a car because I'm too cowardly to walk through haunted houses. Too bad my country doesn't have any. Also Jacob's screams are just so entertaining.
I'm amused, that americans love dark rides.In Germany they have died out since decades.But Jacob, you do an exellent job as ambessedor for your nation.In the different to your Potus you have style,intelligience, humor and a friendly sympathic speech.You show the world the real US life.Thanks and please more.
Cool. My favorite amusement park when I was a kid. Then Six Flags over Mid America came to the mid west. Sure has changed since the late 60s, but somehow has not changed that much.
I used to love the Starship like ride as a kid at the local fairs. But I don't think I could handle that as a adult. Thanks for riding some of the rides for us. NIce to see the old classic rides.
Hello Jacob 🖐🏼. This is awesome. I really appreciate you for sharing your experience with US. I really wish that I could have met you when you were in Michigan. But anywho no pain, no gain‼️ Enjoy The Rest of your Day ‼️😃🖐️👍.
I used to work here still live 10 minutes away. The original cars they used are in a museum due to the fact they are some of the oldest in the world still in operation and the haunted house animations was updated a few years ago.
That's a dragstrip next to it, we raced there in the 80's. Looked like they were doing a drift competition. When we raced there in the eighties the park was abandoned. And we explored it late at night, it was very creepy with 2 old school spook house dark rides. In the 80s the dragstrip started doing big bracket races and became pretty popular, the couple that own the track bought the park and fixed it up got it running again.
What a nice park, I think old school parks are more fun, lines are usually shorter and I like the older rides. The wild mouse looked great! Dark rides are always fun!
The small, old timey theme parks are always the most fun to visit. My local park keeps removing their old, classic rides and replacing them intense steel coasters and thrill rides that no one is really asking for in the first place. I never ride them because I don't enjoy intense thrill rides that much, and the rare times I'm in the mood for them I just go to like, Six Flags or something instead.
Nice eclectic collection for a smaller cart. That haunted house dark ride looked especially interesting. Thanks for sharing your experience. Will you be doing haunts this year? I loved that haunted house style intro for videos!
Michelle E. Evans most of the haunts in my neck of the woods are open for business with COVID precautions. I won’t be going to them myself, but I was wondering if Jacob might venture into any this year.
You need a camera which does well in low light conditions. Oh and that car fest you saw was likely LS Fest and WatchJRGo was at it during your day at the park! Check his video!
I haven’t been to beech bend since I had my first born 3yrs ago. I’m glad you’re going to it because when we went down there we went to the corvette museum first then beech bend and did the go carts, the Kentucky rumbler and the 0 gravity fall thing
Was surprised to see how high quality the interior characters were compared to those guys on the porch haha. They could’ve at least covered up the giant amps next to the guy getting shocked. 😂 Still great tho!
Cool video! I like that dark ride. It was really cool. I also like that roller coaster you went on. Awesome! It spins! But you get dizzy. Thanks for sharing!
In the UK, during the 80’s and 90’s we used to call them gravity wheels. The little town I grew up, we had an annual charter fair. We had a gravity wheel there. It wasn’t enclosed, it was all open. It would spin you, to get you stuck to the wall and then the arm would lift the wheel. I absolutely loved it back in the day.
Sigh...Beech Bend. Went there when it first opened. I was in grade school and we went for a few years. There was a drag strip there also. Later in my high school years we would go to Kings Island and Six Flags over Mid America.
Never been to Beech Bend, but I think the old car ride shown at 11:20 in video is the old Tin Lizzies from the old Opryland theme park that once was in Nashville. I could be wrong, Im sure someone will correct me if so. I just heard they made it to a theme park in Kentucky. Looks like them to me.
Yeah, dude. We're too old for the Gravitron. Plus, it stopped being fun when I was too fat for the panel to slide up. LOL! Your POV on the Wild Mouse was very good. It is the very first time I ever felt any motion from a video. A lot of people complain about that all the time, but I didn't think it was possible. Every time you hit a curve, I feared for your life, careening off the track into the abyss below... xoxo
Awesome, awesome video. The Monster/Women is Sandy from House(1986) and The Zombie eating, is Bub from Day of the Dead(1985). The others......Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre: part 2(1986). The white Ghoul-looking fellar might be Nosferatu. 🎃
