I know many of you will call them Crisps but i decided to go with Potato Chip to avoid confusion! What is your favorite food themed ride?
Technically a drink themed ride but the original bubbleworks at chessington
Probably the Garlic Twirl at Gilroy Gardens. Sure, it looks like a just a teacup ride where you sit in giant garlic cloves instead of teacups, but the whole area is landscaped with garlic, and you can smell it strongly at the right time of year. Makes the experience quite memorable!
Food rocks of course. Masterpiece.
Well theres honestly no food themed rides, but if were saying drinks (cus I thnk tht classes as a food) I would say irn bruw revolution at BBP, or the pepsi max big one.
P.s before anyone goes slating me I know there not called that anymore!
The Baconator, if that existed lmao
Ireland's only major coaster is a potato theme park, why am I not surprised. I guess this is the closest we'll get to a real life Potatoland
Don't tell goofy!
Psst...Don't give Russia any ideas.
I went to tayto park a few years ago
But.. It's a Crisp theme park.. Not potatoes.
I went to Tayto Park a few weeks ago and it's really good. The Viking Voyage is a lot of fun too.
If you tell Mr. Tayto that the roller coaster doesn’t have an inversion, he’ll be the last anthropomorphic potato to know your last whereabouts.
The beef flavored Tayto crisps are probably my fave though.
Haha yess!
The pringles guy and I have been having a blood feud for years.
Beef flavored Taytos?
I appreciate the fact that Ireland's only amusement park has a potato product as its mascot.
What else would it be!
Stereotypical 😂 hon da rebels
Stereotypical 😂 hon da rebels
Stereotypical 😂
Ireland's only amusement park-Ermmmmm no
The story about Mr Tayto and the native Americans reminded me just a little to much of willy Wonka and the oompa loompas
Mr. Tayto is just testing everyone to see who gets to take over the Tayto factory!
Just look at him
All I'm thinking right now is the Willy Wonka skit from Robot Chicken but with the Potato guy.
I didn’t realize Ireland had a potato chip theme park.
The more you know!
Not suprised.
Way to fight those stereotypes Ireland!
Is this the world's first potato chip theme park? Or the first potato chip theme park in Ireland and/or Europe? Or the world's first potato chip theme park with an inverting wooden roller coaster?
I didn't realise Ireland had a theme park....
@@ExpeditionThemePark I love potato potato
I'm from Ireland and I've been to most of the Major parks in Europe, this park is home to the best wooden coaster that I've been on.
It is really good!
Can't wait for the two new coasters on the way tho
If you ever make it to America and want a real wooden coaster experience, The Beast will leave you breathless. Obviously you aren’t gonna come to America, if you still live in Ireland, just for that. However, if you were to come to America for one ride, The Beast, all day.
Wodan from Europark knocks it out of the park not to mention joris from efteling there just the ones I was on im to wickermans very good plus there's one or 3 more around Europe that are shit hot over it
@@PhotonBread eh I will go for el toro at six flags great adventure
The chances of being killed by Mr Tayto because you told him it's not an inversion are pretty small...
.
.
.
But never zero
Brice Seymens thanks, I hate it.
I don't know what's more shocking, the fact that Ireland actually has a theme park no one talks about or the fact it's a potato chip theme park..with a nightmare fuel mascot named Mr. Tayto who looks like he will fight you in the potato chip aisle of a store if you pick the wrong potato chip bag.
Mr. Tayto is an Irish treasure, don't insult hin again
Mr. Tayto is an absolute gift how dare you
I believe you just insulted the entirety of Ireland by saying that.
How dare u insult mr tayto
Seeing this makes me think of Holiday World in Santa Claus, IN. Small park with EPIC wooden coasters. Truly a (mostly) hidden gem.
The meath County Council actually approved planning permission but four local residents took it to the Irish government and the government not understanding that parks need to innovate and develop sided with the residents and permission was denied. It really annoyed me as I was excited to have another thrill coaster here in Ireland
Such a shame
@@ExpeditionThemePark They've reapplied with a similar but modified layout and it has been appealed again. Tayto Park submitted an amendment "further info" a couple of weeks ago to address the appeal and a final decision is due by early May. Here's hoping.
@@wade7488 just learned about that a week ago
HEYYYYY WE GOT PERMISSION FOR 2023 LETSS GO LADS!
They could've had an actual inversion by either:
•Increasing the banking on the overbank to or past 135°
•Adding a corkscrew on the big hill after the overbank, similar to Hades 360
Maybe they could've done both, and marketed it as having 2 inversions.
Being irish I absolutely loved this expedition, thank you for doing one on our only real theme park
Thank you!
Its not a theme park though. Just the closest thing to a theme park that we have.
I feel like this park has huge potential. It's always a shame that the locals to the areas of these parks complain so much. I think if they could load up on a few big attractions (including those Vekoma roller coasters) it could really take off even more than it has already. It definitely looks to be a beautiful place. If I visit Ireland one of these days I'll definitely check it out.
Definitely come and ride Cu Chulainn. Loads to see here too. :)
The next Alton towers in the making especially with residents that moan
Hersheypark is my hometown park, that’s awesome to see it inspired Tayto Park! Will there be an Expedition Hersheypark? The history there is pretty extensive.
Definitely!
Loved going to Hershey growing up and was so jazzed when I finally made the Reese's height requirement cause they're my favorite lol. Also loved sneaking over to chocolate world during our highschool band championships and nabbing as much free chocolate from the dark ride as I could during our breaks 👍
Ahhhh I can smell the fresh wood. That’s one beautiful woodie. And it’s paced out nicely which is essential for a successful wooden coaster. I hope the park will maintain it properly so that it will have a good and lasting operating life.
I hope so too!
It was hella rough last summer in the back, compared to when it opened
Can we go to Disney mom
No we have Disney at home
Disney at home:
Mr. Peanut and Mr. Tayto are gunna have words! This also makes me think we need a peanut theme park!
Peanutland.
I love Cú Chulainn, but I definitely don’t consider the over bank to be an inversion. It’s also one of the few rare coaster credits I have.
Marketing officially creepier than the Smiler campaign and Barney combined.
PlantersLand: a nutty adventure coming to America!
Yes!
I would go...
What About Mr Peanut?
They better have a geyser of Planters Cheese Balls
I was fully prepared to be the annoying Irish person in the comments correcting your pronunciations, but you actually did reasonably well. Nice job 👍👍👍
Except for "Country Meath" of course
@@snowwolf1854 I didn't want to mention it because he did so well with everything else, but yeah that one was painful 😂😂
@@SaoirseWaddingHayes LOL
Finally, a video about Europe's longest wooden rollercoaster with an inversion.
Exactly!
Hey! Thanks for this video! I mentioned Tayto park to you in your live stream. 😊 I took my son on the coaster but he wasn’t ready for it. I hope he isn’t forever traumatized. I really thought after Crush’s roller coaster in Disneyland Paris he would like it... 😬
Btw: they stopped giving free chips at the exit this year. 😞
I don't know which is more traumatizing, the coaster or no tayto chips!
Weird, on my trip last year they still gave our free crisps...
I went this August and got my pack of chips with fourteen amazing rides on Cú Chulainn.
Tayto are probably the best tasting crisps in the world. Only king crisps also from Ireland are a close 2nd.
@Ken Norcott because we call our French fries chips first.
Loving all of the rollercoaster vids you've been doing recently!
It has been a few hasn't it!
inversion or not, this is one of my fave wooden coasters! its pretty damn smooth! and of course being from dublin this is a handy place to go!
This was my home park for two years while I was living in Dublin. Originally being from Barcelona with Port Aventura as my home park. Very good memories I have. They just need one major steel rollercoaster and a family coaster.
Yeah exactly!
MR TAYTO WILL BE EXTREMELY D I S S A P O I N T E D
I live in ireland and recall 2 accidents happening in the park. One was that a girl broke he neck on the coaster and another where a dozen people were injured when stairs collapsed in a haunted house they had for Halloween which was the only Halloween themed thing in the park at the time.
Mr.Tayto is really creepy looking! They might of lied about the inversion, but the ride still looks amazing! The first person point of view shots are the best of this video in my opinion!
Oh! You made my mom into a fan of this channel! I showed her one of the videos you did on a old Florida attraction she went to when she was a kid. She loved it so much! Then we binged watched tons of your videos!
Awww tell them thank you for watching!
This is the last good amusement park in Ireland, My former local park was a historic park called Barry's Amusements, it is currently up for rent after being left to rot for 2 years. It was technically home to Irelands first wooden coaster and first roller coaster. It currently has 2 coasters SBNO, a Pinfari ZL42 and a Wacky worm, (of course!) As for Tayto park Cú Chulainn is their best ride, I'm also excited because those 2 new vekoma coasters have been approved! Finally we're gonna get a good steel coaster. That ZL42 absolutely brutal!
Not gonna lie, the Mr. Tayto lore might be my favorite thing I've learned from any of your videos. It's the best kind of stupid.
This was a great video. I'm from Dublin and it was so nice to hear you talk about this coaster. It is a great ride and I was waiting for years and years for Ireland to be put on the map.
You said some very nice things about it, about us. You almost made me cry.
I can't wait for the new vekoma!
This is the most Irish thing Ireland has ever done 🧡😌
Right down to the planning permission being denied by the local nimbys...
Thanks for doing this man I’ve wanted to see this forever I havnt been in my home country since this park opened so never got to go. I live ur videos keep up the good work man 👌
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video. Really enjoyed it, probably my favorite expedition of yours so far. I only live 30 odd mins from the park, and I'm glad to see people enjoy the Cú Chulainn as much as I do.
Thank you!
This was wildly entertaining. I have a real soft spot for parks that are off the beaten path.
I would love nothing more than Tayto Park to become a full fledged theme park with multiple rollercoasters. We've arranged for family trips to go to Alton Towers & Thorpe Park in the past, but it'd be nice to have a park to go to in Ireland.
I live in Ireland and go to Tayto Park nearly every year. It's basically our equivalent to Disneyland but far more low budget. I remember going for the first time in 2011. It was cool.
Wow, Cú Chulainn looks like a pretty awesome coaster. If I had any reason to visit Ireland I would want to try it out.
Hope you get to ride
I don’t live in Ireland,but it would be great to see another proper theme park come to them.
They need a second wooden coaster themed after Guinness to duel with it!!!
That's actually crazy. One major coaster in the whole country of Ireland! Great video as always :)
If someone referenced this in a cartoon, they would think you were appealing to tiresome stereotypes about Ireland.
Yaasssss, cu chulain is meant to be phenomenal!
such a great ride!
We have visited Tayto twice. Once in 2015 and again in 2017. 2015 the woodie was really good. 2017 is was god awful to ride. We were hoping to go back this Easter but had to change our plans! Tayto Cheese & Onion crisps are the best!
i live in ireland and love tayto park 😭 i didn’t realise the whole backstory tho it’s kinda wild not gonna lie
I really hope that this park is able to grow and expand to its fullest potential.
Barry's Amusements in Portrush Northern Ireland has a Pinfari Big Dipper since 1991 and has been an amusement park since 1925, take that 'the south'.
I've been on the Big Dipper and the Ghost Train at Barry's, don't worry we haven't forgotten it!
@@andyb191, excellent, the Big Dipper is entertainingly rough and always a Portrush tradition, keep up the brilliant content.
We also have our own Mr Tayto!!!!
@@darrenbrashaw8409 and the true tayto crisps, not the southern tayto rubbish
This seems like a very promising park. I doubt I will ever get to visit it, but the hope will be that it grows and continues to add great rides.
I absolutely love this park, and the woodie is spectacular!
It's so good
I haven’t watched one go your videos in a long time. It’s nice to watch on of your videos again
This must be the theme park, no one has heard of.
However, regarding the ’inversion’, if your head is lower than your legs, technically you are inverted. I suppose the difference is between inversion and full inversion. In which case, 180 degrees is required.
The song at the end killed me 🤣🤣👍. Hmmmm I may have to go old skool and say Professor Burps Bubbleworks at chessington.
I love learning stuff like this! Thank you
This video was made for me! :)
It was!
It's a great family day out and there is some good rides. Its improved every year since it opened so exciting to see were it goes I think they will eventually overcome the planning permission issues.
This video reeeeally held up a mirror to Ireland honestly, we needed to be shown how ridiculous this is
Great coaster this was my 100 coaster cred and the viking water splash thanks 4 sharing
what an interesting little park 😄
The black and white add is for the Northern Ireland Tayto, a different compnay opened a year later who also have a Mr Tayto who is much more smiley.
I know 😂
I'm pretty sure that the ad at 1:16 is for Northern Ireland tayto, and is a completely different company to Republic of Ireland tayto. I think so because Mr. Tayto is like his Northern Ireland form on the pack
The way you said kindred spuds 😂 I could feel the grin on your face ha
Yessss
Join the Tayto cult!
🥔
This park automatically gets the award for best theme park name ever
My friends and I did a trip to Ireland from Canada and tried to go to this park but unfortunately, it was closed at that time
Those coaster ideas seem great, I hope they get the clearance
I’m From Dublin and been on Cu Cullinan it’s so good 🇮🇪
There is an inversion! A classified inversion is counted beyond 90°, it’s never been counted beyond 135°.
Surely I'm not the only person who immediately thought of Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden when I heard "Cú Chulainn"
Im hoping to go to Dublin this year in August (If I can actually travel there haha) and was contemplating going here...
Hope you can go!
@@ExpeditionThemePark hehe thanks. Especially as ticket prices are only about £12! I just need to convince my friends 😂
Btw it’s in Meath not Dublin
@@phillyproductions6694 But there's direct transport from the city.
@@samraymond4464 Just bear in mind you'll also need a wristband or to pay per ride...
Love how you snuck in the Witcher 3 music
Why did this video have a slightly more cursed energy than usual
They have just this 25th June 2020 got planning permission for the new coasters set to be built next year and opening to the public in 2023.
Well done on this video you really did the Irish well in this video 🇮🇪🎢
“The tallest wooden rollercoaster in Europe with an inversion”
But now we have Wildfire which is taller and actually has inversions
Wait. I’ve said too much the Tayto police will be after me
My favorite food-themed ride was "Knotts Bear-y Tales" as it was fun, had a lot of characters in fun scenes, and it smelled of boysenberries! It's supposed to be coming back as a 4D experience summer 2020 (though I wonder if that's still on track what with current world events). Maybe an Expedition Knott's for that ride? Maybe the Wacky Soap Box Racers, too?
I've been on the cùchulainn and it's something else. If you love rollercoasters it's well worth it
Tayto Cheese and Onion are the best crisps you can get.
what about prawn cocktail!
@@ExpeditionThemePark There's a reason why Tayto sell as many Cheese and Onion as all their other flavours combined :)
A local Irish pub in cocoa Beach sells these crisps.
I got all excited in the store and said to my mom I know these chips I saw A video about his theme park on youtube, referring to this video
“Country Meath” 😭
Yeah I realised that when editing too late. Sorry
Your forgetting 'Irish Pounds'
Aidan Kilmartin at least he said euro every other time...
I really want to go here, maybe once they get another thrill coaster I'll get myself to head there
I was going insane with the amount of times you said inversion.
I learned some things in this video that I feel I should have already known. But didn’t.
Now you know!
I love this place without going. I hope they can get the new generation Vekoma invert and the boomerang approved. At least let them get the family boomerang done first maybe and see what can be done about the latter. They keep adding good rides in over years like the zamperla endeavour that was shown amongst others and can continue to do so. Free tayto's, cool mascot. It is literally a mini-hershey park. And probably a lot less crowded during the height of the season. The gravity group coaster looks amazing and I wish we could get more of those in the USA instead of RMC's tbh.
Tayto Park! Glad it's getting some attention.
I wonder how many theme parks there have been with a food brand theme. Meli Park in Belgium springs to mind. Meli is a honey brand and the park was somewhat bee oriented.
The only other I can think of is Knott's Berry Farm in California, even though the branding is now very weakly done at best.
As a Hershey native, all I have to say is good job mr tayto. We’re proud of you but we will always be superior
Being one of the only theme parks I’ve been to. Yeah..... I’ll give it the star of favourite
Seeing that there is a freaking chip themed park gives me hope that Progressive will actually make an insurance themed park
Well to be fair in regards to American themeing. The modern potato chip is according to legend invented in America in 1853. Interestingly enough the chef in question George Crum actually identified as a member of the Regis Mohawk tribe. There is of course some question about Crum's invention of the famed Saratoga Chip and it was his sister's obituary that claimed she has the cook was in fact responsible.
You used to get a 6 pack of Tayto on your way in, so it’s disappointing that you only get one on the way out!
Awesome video as usual! 🙌 Man I need to get on this coaster! 🙏
10:50 wow golden tickets doing wickerman dirty smh. Excellent video as always.
Thank you!
I had absolutely no idea that park existed. I’m long overdue a return to Dublin, I’ll have to seek it out.
Wait...so....Potato Land is real???? Seriously though, this is the kind of delightful strangeness that will helps us all get through quarantine.
“Classic Mr. Tayto” 😂
Awesome video as always mate!
Thank you!
How many times have you said "inversion"? It is now stuck in my head. Now i'll read inversion rhyming with yours, lol.
