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.
@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.
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
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!
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 !!
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.
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.
I live in Bowling Green now and have always lived nearby. We went to Beech Bend every summer when I was a kid. I think I rode that dark ride once when I was little. Never. Again. I hate jump scares.
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 ‼️😃🖐️👍.
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.
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!
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
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!
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.
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. 🎃
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Haven't watched yet, am so right now. Just discovered after moving down that way, that this is actually new home park... Thought for years now that it was Dollywood. It's been dang tough to find any walkthroughs...being such a dang small park mostly. I thank you! Stay Safe!
Opossum strumming banjo while kicked back in an old-school plastic strap lawn chair next to a pop up trailer? Thats worth a subscription. What did I stumble on here??
Good stuff! Hopefully me and the family can get out there to check it out for ourselves :) Really does look like a perfect closer park for our needs. lol.

the "ex" lol. Great movie
@@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.
@@erikgriffith8857 I have! And that one is a whole different kind of of oddly beautiful wild ride
@@vikinggnome Yep. I suspect we are kindred spirits. Have a good one!
Hahaha I knew it! One of my favorite horror movies!
Love these old school theme parks all the classic rides and more. The dark side looked awesome . Keep them coming great videos🇺🇸🇬🇧😷👍
👍🙂👍.
@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.

@Watermelon Rind I know I'm just saying he should stay that way
I actually got a bit dizzy watching you on the Wild Mouse ride, I could almost feel it!. Good video Jacob.
Same here
I feel it to.
Same here.
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!

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
also the haunted house is honestly scary HAHAH everything is so close to you in it

Glad to see they had some real scares on the dark ride.
Looks like the guy eating a 'rat' might be Bub from Day Of The Dead
Looks like Phantom unmasked
Sweet, love the old amusement parks. Thanks for sharing.
You are hilarious on the scary rides! Keep on making them.
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.
Almost

I'm 28 now , but I remember my brother and I riding the haunted house ride when I was like 8 and its scared the crap out of us.
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!

I will Forever Love Gravitron.
I remember the hell hole then it became planet of the apes then starwars
"What Is That!" It's compressed air Jacob! 😆
this park is at my home town! The lazar fury ride used to be a petting zoo area when I was a kid.
You live in BG? My moms side of the family lives there and we go to Beech Bend like once a year. I love the haunted house ride.
The person who voiced the electrocuted man I want to ask him:
How much do you get paid for that?
I can't with all the "effort" the voice actor put in! 😂😂
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.
Wasn't expecting the props to look that good, most of the dark rides we've seen look a lot more home made
It’s Screaming Carpetbagger Season! 😄 My favorite time of year lol
I appreciate the fact that you go through the dark rides more than once. We can see more things the second time around
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 love this dark ride. It’s so much fun.

I really enjoy your vidios
That was a TOTALLY amazing park!
Yo, I live 2 hours away from here! I've been here so many times and I love it
Finally caught an early upload!!! Love ya Jacob stay safe!! 💪🏾🤩
13:15 Jacob's astronaut training.
I recall staying in the campgrounds there for a night back in the 70's....went to the park in the day....loved it. The Duck ride was awesome.
'70s*

So many fond memories going there every summer back in childhood. That place will always be held in my heart 😊
Vintage Haunted Houses are the best, u can smell the wood n history as u go thru
That was Michael Jackson’s Sea Dragon!! I thought they had a plaque or something telling about it! Welcome to Kentucky!
I did not know that Beech Bend Park was still open. Thanks for the video.
Living in Nashville as a kid once Opryland closed this was the goto amusement park. Thanks carpetbagger for highlighting Beach Bend
Hey Jacob! So awesome you visited my town and beech bend! The wild mouse and the haunted house dark ride are my favorite!
Going through the comments it is neat to see so many carpet bagger fans so close to my area. Greetings from G-town!
It’s very scary 😟 old school park ride and even the drawing on the wall looks awesome 😎
I love everytime you go to these places my family went there alot when we were growing up so THANK YOU again your awsome😁
Starship 4000 was always my favorite ride. It was so cool to try and move your arms and legs as it weighed on you so you couldn't move.
Saw a drunk guy throw up on the gravitron once. It was magical.
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.
Love when you do amusement park videos :D they're so cozy
Very interesting place!
Hey I'm early Woo Hoo! plus I love Amusement Parks 💚 Hope you are doing well
Man wished the rumbler was runnin. Its an experience. Glad you liked it bro!
Whoa! I would've never thought you'd come to my hometown. Allow me to welcome you to Bowling Green. It's great to have you!
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.
Here in New Brunswick Canada we call that space ship ride the gravatron, it is fun, just so much g force
It's the closest you'll get to simulated death, excellent quote. Excellent sense of humor and delivery love your videos Carpetbagger.
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!
Good to see you in my home state. I haven’t been back to that park since they updated it. Loved the video. Thanks for doing what you do.
My neck of the woods. This is a fun place to spend a Saturday, done that a few times. Glad you visited.
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.

Used to go to Beech Bend in the 70s gave me my love for amusement parks.
love this channel
Love old amusement parks thanks for sharing
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!
My Step Dad & I went on the Crazy Mouse on My Birthday in 2018 @ the fair we visited!!!!!!! We had a Blast!!!!!!!
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!
I used to love the Gravatron!! We used to hang upside down and do tricks in the one that came to our county fair when I was a kid!
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 actually looks like a great little amusement park! Some very unique rides. Great video! This one's....... in the bag.
Awesome amusement park, love it ❤️
That’s awesome! I live about 45 minutes away from there.
Lady with the Orange hair scary monster looks like the monster from the movie 1989 house
She is! Good eye
DARK RIDES 4 EVA! Look forward to watching this with Baby Ball this evening.
Hi Jacob awesome vlog at an old school dark ride amusement park in Bowling Green, KY. Stay safe and happy haunts 👍🏻👻
I think it's awesome how you go right for the dark ride first.
Nice theme park Jacob.
I love this ride! I grew up in Bowling Green and went every summer
Great content as always!!!!!!!!!!!
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. 🎃
Good job! I painted those creatures in the early 80’s
Glad they’re still holding up
"What are you doing here tonight?"
"Nawt a whole lawt."
Just cuz you're in Bowling Green :)
That's a dragstrip next to it, we raced there in the 80's.
Looked like they were doing a drift competition.

I’m actually early !!! Love ya vids man !
The Starship 4000, is giving me vibes, of a washing machine, made to sit in, and ride, for humans! lol
Yay dark ride

I live 5 minutes from here! We love Beech Bend
I rode the wild mouse and the spaceship ride at the Iowa State Fair 2021. Very fun.
Thanks for the vlog
My home town! I get season pass to Beech Bend Park every year.
Man do I miss the log ride at Dollywood. Wish that they could bring it back and the flooded mine. Thank you for the video
That magic show was something else
That is one of my favorite dark rides, love beech bend, you should go to the lost river cave in town
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
That's all you rode ? i rode every ride in the park
youre by far my favorite youtuber! i love you dude!💖
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!
searcher00211 most haunted houses are not going to be open this year due to coved-19.
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.
Been there. Kentucky is my home state. My dad used to work for the owner of the park.
They do those car shows every year.

Loved the rides! I definitely WON'T be going on the; "Think I'm going to be sick!" ride! Thanks for a great time!
That reminded me of Capt. Spaulding’s Murder Ride.
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.
Love your vids ❤️❤️❤️
Not bad for a old school Haunted ride... 👍
15:50, a lot of boardwalk parks have larger versions. Six Flags Fiesta Texas has an even bigger version where the vehicles get raised above the ground
Was my favorite ride as a kid. Wanna buy it one day.
I believe that airplane ride is a new zampella ride
Zamperla
Haven't watched yet, am so right now.
Just discovered after moving down that way, that this is actually new home park...
Thought for years now that it was Dollywood.
It's been dang tough to find any walkthroughs...being such a dang small park mostly.
I thank you!
Stay Safe!
