Camden Park Full Tour - Huntington, West Virginia 

What a great old school amusement park!

That ride beside the Rattler was always called The Paratrooper. Grew up just blocks from there.. the skating rink was my favorite part as a kid!!

Originally from WV; about 3 years old the first time I was at Camden Park and I loved Kiddie Land. I jumped up and down so much from excitement my legs were sore the next day. The last time I was there was at least 35 years ago. I was with two high school friends, one of whom was crazy in love with Marty Stuart. He was there for a concert and put on a great show. My friend who already knew him introduced us to him. A very friendly and talented man, but dang I wish I had worn sunscreen that day!

I love Camden park

I lived a little over an hour away from Camden Park and I went there several times a summer when I was growing up. I have so many fond memories of this place.

Small parks always have a lot of charm and a nice feel to them. Some of the bigger parks have more rides, more intense rides also, but sometimes feel devoid of personality.

Great video, thanks for sharing...as a kid growing up in the late 60s early 70s we would go to Camden Park every summer...this brought back a lot of good memories...

Also the empty spot you saw at the end was a big roller coaster that did one loop, then went backwards and did it again. It ran for maybe 2 years and closed and was never opened again.

Yes

POV: you live 20 minutes from Camden Park

When I was about 4-5 we lived in Ashland, KY and would go to WV to visit Camden park. That has been 50 years ago!! 😂 and your video still brings back many memories. Back then the haunted house, little dipper, zipper, tilt-a-whirl, scrambler & skylift were my favorites, as I recall. We moved to the Dayton, OH area and had Americana & Kings Island. Americana was very similar to Camden Park.

I love when he talks about the poles like buddy I have been riding that ride for at least 8 years and it has been as rusty as that for like 40

I live in WV and haven’t been to Camden Park since I was a young girl it’s changed so much some rides are still there but a lot has changed and the original funnel cake stand is still there as well as the ice cream shop and the rides used to have names so not sure why they changed that and too bad you couldn’t ride the Big Dipper it’s a lot of fun and they still have the Little Dipper that’s great to see as well as the skyline❤ I remember when the train used to go all around the park and a part through the middle so they’ve definitely cut that back but it’s great to see they still have it as well as the log ride but it’s great that this park is still open and here there’s been a couple times it’s almost been completely Shutup and demolished so very good to see thank you for sharing 😁 hope you had a fun day

in the intro the dude said Huntington like “ Huntingtin “ but if ur from Kentucky WV round there in that area y’all say it like “ hunningtin “ like me lol! :>

that was cool. we watched it at work too

Nice video! Just asking, do you still plan to visit more Zoos in the future or only theme parks?

The first time I went there, I was 10 in 1980. I haven't been there since 84..I was 14. We moved to Ohio in 86. The Bumper cars were my favorite!

Hey Tom! So as you know, i don`t watch your theme park videos unless you suggest that i do, you did not suggest that i watch it. However, i saw this as a good opportunity to ask you a few things. Firstly: This isn`t a question but i would like to send my full and sincere condolences about your father, Tom. You only mentioned him in your replies (and in the videos) a few times but those few times were enough to make me see that you loved your dad and that you really cared about him. Which is good to see, man. You see so many people now that either have bad relationships wit their father or just cut contact with them completely, i work with a few people who have shared their story and why they no longer speak to their dad. Same goes for the mom side of things. I`m very lucky to have 2 moms and 3 dads (like it or not Tom, you`re the 3rd dad) who really care about me. You don`t have to tell me if you don`t want to but i`m curious: how did your dad die? Was it old age? Since he took care of the animals while you were on road trip, is a different family member going to check up on all of the animals now when you`re out of town? Perhaps your mother or your sister? Again, you don`t have to say right now if you don`t want to, i`m merely asking. I`m very sorry about your dad, Tom, i can`t imagine what you`re going through right now, just know that i`m here if you need anything. I would even be willing to give you some of my social media if you wanted to talk privately. My friends refer to me as the therapy friend, i would be glad to help Tom. I may be a 17 year old boy, but i`m much more mature than any other guys my age, ask anyone who knows me. I`ve been told that i have the maturity of a 40 year old because i`m wise and just my personality as a whole. Let me know if you want me to take you up on that offer, Tom. Alright, now i have a few questions for you, Tom. so back in 2016 (way before i knew you even existed lol), you did a Gatorland Tour. Could we see a new tour for Gatorland Tom? I want to see a new one for a few reasons: Your camera skills have gotten better, you`re much more enthusiastic now, you capture everything more in depth now compared to back then. I just think it would be awesome to see a new tour for that place on the channel. I follow them on RU-vid and that, would be fun to see you tour it once more. Any place that Tom sets into is a wonderful place, a place fit for a God, which is what you are. Now, i have wanted to ask you this one for ages but my comments were either long enough already. Do any of your family members or friends watch your channel, Tom? Maybe some friends at work, your sister, mother and maybe your father watched your videos too? Do let me know Tom, would be cool to know! Could we also have a new animal companions video soon? I think that would be cool! i need more Sheldon lol, going back to the old footage is no longer enough. Would be cool to see all of your animals again! One more question: Would you be interested in doing a short little ``bonus`` video showing where you keep all your hats and drink cups? That would be cool, just quickly flick through them all, video could be maybe minutes, give or take, you know? I think that would be cool. Essentially, that`s what i wanted to know/ask you. I realise that it may be several days before i get a reply, and that is OK! Do what you gotta do man. When you`re ready, i also have a comment up on the aquarium video for you, man, again i know it may be a few more days until i get your reply on that one. I`m very sorry for your loss Tom. I know i`ve said it a few times already, but i want to emphasize that i really am so sorry Tom. It`s not easy losing your Papa. Hope to hear from you soon Tom. Similar events like this have led to the downfall of some other channels i used to watch and enjoy, i just hope that you don`t decide to stop making content because of this Tom. He would have wanted you to keep going, remember that. Take care, Tom. BTW Tom: i left you a like on my phone AND laptop to hopefully help you get the recognition you truly deserve and have earned. Much love from Ontario, Canada.

Okay so the train! Back in the day they had little wooden forts and Indians and you would basically go back in time to see Indians it was awesome.

I am going there tomorrow. ,Year 2023 ,Date 10, month august

On the train ride there used to be cabins with cowboys and indians there. Little story and such. Pronto pups are the BEST. My absolute favorite ride was out past the parasols. It was a round circuit ride, went around about 100000 miles a hour (felt like it) and blasted heavy metal like megadeth and Metallica at you

Do u ever go 2 haunted houses and haunted hayrides in October and make vids of them if they allow u 2? Or are u planning 2 do so?

🎉

I am on moms account ❤

I haven't been there in 25 years. Going to call my brothers and sister and go in 23

I won't be back at Camden

i want to go there when i have the time sadly its hard to find me some one i can trust to house sit my place and have them feed and take care of my cats and the place when im gone on a long trip across the country sighs. one can't leave your place unattended for to long here where i live and not have some one brake into your house and steal every thing while your gone!
