Sadly Park Owner Paul just passed away a few days ago. It was his vision that grew the park into what it is today. He will be truly missed!

@its_kendall394 Год назад

No ur kidding,I'm about to go there know that the owner has passed. He will be missed for sure

Nice video. My daughter is probably in the very small percentage that has total respect for others. She holds the door for people when we go to stores and tries to pick things up for people when they drop things. I wish more people would teach their kids these things!

@rachelstabler7802 Год назад

It's so neat to know that there's smaller amusement park around. Thank you for all the adventures you take us on Jacob!

@riftwytch 7 месяцев назад

It's worth reminding people that Waldameer doesn't charge an admission fee just to get into the park. This is great for parents who don't ride much, but want to take their kids somewhere fun. There is a cost for ride tickets or passes, but it's a great value.

@Retromicky82 Год назад

When you see Jacob without his glasses and hat in the thumbnail, you know there's gonna be a scarey coaster, lol

@Cre80s Год назад

I've been noticing the "coasternails" trend lately. 😆

@shirleyhughes1248 Год назад

Whoa, that scream when you came down on the tower drop ride,,,, epic !! ❤

@allensherrill850 Год назад

X scream is just as bad as the marineland one. Why did he even try it? 😮

@mikehughes4969 Год назад

Poor Jacob, once again terrifying himself for our sick, sick amusement on, not just a giant roller coaster, but a drop tower as well. 😂😂😂 And I love the dark rides. As far as I'm concerned, the cheesier, the better.

@allensherrill850 Год назад

But I live, to watch Jacob scream and cry! 😂

@mikehughes4969 Год назад

@@allensherrill850 Every time Jacob screams like a little girl, I giggle like one. We are terrible people, and we ought to be ashamed of ourselves.😉

@RayPVideos Год назад

There is nothing gentler about Waldameer’s drop tower. It’s more terrifying than Marineland’s by far! Props to you Jacob for giving it a ride! 😀

@ber5897 Год назад

Yes! I haven't been on a whole lot of other drop towers, but I've been on the ones at Cedar Point, and even though they're taller they somehow don't give me the thrill or the gut-wrenching feeling that the XScream does.

My daughter was beyond excited seeing you back at Waldameer! She has made us play your last video a good 50 times. At least we will have another one to add to the rotation. Thanks for the great videos!!

Hey Waldameer! I lived in Erie from 1992 to 2020. Waldameer is a gem for the city. How wonderful to see if again!

@mcwatersd Год назад

The Wacky Shack is awesome. I cant believe you did the drop and all the coasters. Love seeing all the different carrosels . They are all so beautiful . Great video. Keep Safe❤Keep Well ❤

@kimberlyshalaby1134 Год назад

Waldemer looked like fun! I don't go for that spitting either.

@matthewfarmer2520 Год назад

Classic theme park with a classic dark ride and his famous screaming on the rollercoaster 🎢 rides. Carpetbagger knows how really intertaine us all. 😂 Thanks for sharing Jacob. Your a joy to watch. You take care 🙏📸🤓

@eskieguy9355 Год назад

I vaguely remember being told that you don't spit, or drop things onto people, but since I've never ridden on a chair lift, I've never had the opportunity. I've got to say, that this appears to be the ideal amusement park. The roller coasters actually look like fun. And, that dark ride makes good use of sound. The different sounds in different areas shows that it was well thought out.

@JerseyEmpireGroup Год назад

Oh my god lmao that RF2 coaster RIPS. Jacob your expressions on rides like that are just the best hahaha.

@iangraham6351 Год назад

I took my 7 year old daughter on Ravine Flyer 2 last summer. I had been on the ride before and knew how crazy it was, but she demanded to ride it. I should of not allowed her to get on yet because she did not like it. Haha. But not too long ago she told me she’d probably try it again.

@jenniferjones-edwards9729 Год назад

That was awesome!! The Comet looked like a lot of fun! The carousel was beautiful! I love to see the different carousels.

@funtownfollies6313 Год назад

Jacob, I recently started watching your videos and now I’m hooked! I’ve always struggled with anxiety so I’ve avoided amusement parks for a long time, so being able to explore them through your videos in the comfort of my home has been a fun experience. Thanks to you, I’m willing to give amusement parks another try when I go to Pigeon Forge in a few weeks :)) thanks for the amazing content!

@AdventuresUnseen24 Год назад

Thanks for sharing. Love amusment parks. Watching now 🤗

@doxielowrider694 Год назад

Oh my goodness Jacob thanks for showing Waldameer! I live in Arden NC but my grandma was from Erie PA. She lived within walking distance to Waldameer. I used to go as a kid and even my mom grew up going there. So many great memories for generations in my family. I even took my kids on the kiddie rids and they are 22 and 26 now. I always loved the Comet, such a great little wooden rollercoaster. Not a lot has changed over the years. Yes they added more things but Im so glad to see a lot of the old stuff there. Such great memories! Thanks for sharing!

@kats955 Год назад

Waldameer is my childhood!!!! The steel dragon is my favorite coaster and the comet was my first coaster at the age of 7 and the coaster that made me fall in love with the thrill!! Been a coaster junkie since and always will be!!! "It wouldn't be summer, it wouldn't be fun without WALDAMEER!!!!"

@nikitatro5508 Год назад

What a great place 🌟 That's my kind of amusement park 😻 No drop tower for me though 🙀😹 You are so brave Jacob 🦁 The Carousel is my favorite thing 🎠😺 Thanks for another fun day 🙏💝🙌😻

Best part of those old dark rides is the smell of grease and paint along with the rattling track sound.

I worked at Waldameer for around 10 years. One of my jobs was cutting off people's wristbands that spit off the sky ride. It was always kind of funny to see what kind of crazy excuses they had. Sometimes it was even grown adults spitting on people.

@ElessarofGondor Год назад

Next time you're in Erie check out the Naval Museum and Brig Niagara. She's the flagship from a pivotal battle in the War of 1812. Best to go in the off season though as she often sails the upper great lakes in the summer.

@InsaneCoasterJunkie Год назад

So glad you got to stop by my home park once again, actually saw you while i was waiting in line for Whacky Shack. During your POVs as a friendly reminder, wrist mounts are strictly prohibited on all rides as that creates a safety hazard to riders. Only a chest mount is allowed to safely film on rides (per park policy).

@idkwtf2makemyusername104 Год назад

My family and I went up there yesterday. We live near Pittsburgh. This park is so cute and we had such a good time. My boys are 14 and 16 and loved it. 2 of the coolest things ever happened while we were there... I'm terrified of coasters but having 2 kids and my husband riding I didn't wanna leave anyone to ride alone, so I took one for the team and got on the ravine flyer 2 with them. I was freaking out going up that 1st big hill, as we were cresting the hill a C130 plane flew right over top of us and took my mind off what was about to happen. Then a few hours later my youngest and husband were on it and as they crested the hill, a bald eagle flew overhead. It was amazing. The water park has a ton of awesome slides. Nice lil park to visit for a day. ❤

@rollercoaster.mp4 Год назад

I love Waldameer! While their drop tower might not be very tall, it's known for being surprisingly forceful - more so than some taller towers. So ironically it's not really a "starter" drop ride!

Looks like a fun park. I’ll have to check that out if I’m in the area. Thanks for taking us along.

After working the Wacky Shack for a couple years, I think its practically impossible for me to ride that ride more times than walking through it while all the lights are on.

@flickinggamer Год назад

The main difference between them is the direction they spin: merry-go-rounds turn clockwise, while carousels turn counter-clockwise.

@TheCarpetbagger Год назад

This Merry Go Round went counter clockwise
