This is kinda sad
kai ly why?
BP 2 what if he fell down and there was just a satanic ritual with the animatronics

What was that mumbling in the background right before he pans to the hole on the floor?

You can just *see* the pain in his face.

Wow. That's really bad.

Looks like a ahego face
Auuuuugh...my leg
I'm just sitting here trying to imagine how this would all look if it were new.
He has a video link in the description that showed the park for its brief opening :)
@@Applekinz I really appreciate that I'll give it a look. Although I'm feeling heartbroken enough about the whole situation without seeing it before all of the destruction. I just commented that I hope people were able to get in there and remove some of the more memorable items before he managed to destroy everything. You wonder how many people responded when they get an invitation from a crazy person to come on out to isolated area and take whatever they want. I think I might have been a bit nervous. LOL

This is unbelievable. Sad to lose another old time roadside gem. I loved the haunted house walkthrough video. Can’t believe all the cool things that have been left there. Poor man had a breakdown.

wait untill the creepy ass animationics start chasing you.
why is no one talking about how the original theme park had SIMULATED HANGINGS
There was Mario hanging at the lady lagoon
That was interesting.
why was that a thing ever?? who would want to pay to see that
Hmmm I’m interested
Whitney Good heh you’d be surprised from the past
Idk
Kind of a creepy place to be. But that's cool that you found Billy Bob surprised no one took it.
Ikr
From rockifired explain band
It’s mounted to the ground
Billy bob rules no efence fatz
My friend is gonna try to get that shit
I feel so bad about those animatronics, especially the Rockafire Explosion ones. They're pretty valuable and rare. Shame they just have to sit there and rot away, with there being people out there that just dream of having them..
TP•Сallie I relate
TP•Сallie true dat but not me kinda creeepppyyy!!😱😱😱😱
TP•Сallie so so true
Who knows--maybe someone who's interested in that stuff can go up and get them. I mean, even the old owner told the public they could take what they wanted, and they'd be better off rather then just left there. I'd like if they were able to rescue the old piano/organ and stuff as well. A little love to the woodwork and some tuning maybe and blammo!
TP•Сallie your right it's just a shame that they have to rot away but can some one tell me where they are so I could renovate them
Seeing the Rock-afire Explosion abandoned really breaks my heart. I loved them so much.
Me too.
Same
Omg same when I saw the picture with the title I thought ..................god no
Same
It would be amazing to see them right know
Roses are red

WHA- HOW?!
LiamTheBoodyLedgend YEET Well yeah, the person must’ve been born around that time and got one of those birds.
Me too
Little Sphinx I had old toys that were my dad’s, and I was born in 2003. There is a good chance the bird was handed down, or they were just given an old toy for some reason.
life could've been passed down
This makes me so sad.. man this place was my childhood, it genuinely hurts to know this place has gone to shit. I remember guntown mountain, my father and mother took me one year and watched the gun show, then got food and stuff. I still have the cowboy boot glass I got there, and the thing I got from one of the dancers. Geez how I miss this place
What thing did the dancer give you?
How was it your childhood it was only open for a few weeks
Caesar Zeppeli eh, they probably like 12 or something. (The person who commented)
@@averymccaffe4789 it was open wayy before it re opened for a couple weeks.
I am doing research for a family vacation and found that someone new has bought and reopened it! It has some lovely reviews of how it is similar to its hayday! The lift is still defunct but they have the shows, some small rides, and shops open!
Although the characters were scattered all over, this place had not only the rockafire explosion but an almost full second band called the Circus World Jamboree Show.
3:25 is Barney the Bear
20:45 is Lucy the Lioness
24:18 Peter the Penguin
I didn't see poor Lucky the Lion, but I also did poke through the video a lot so I might've missed it or he got looted.
+Crusher-P I did not know about circus world before I went here
Crusher-P at 20:43 you can see lucky the lion
Crusher-P u been there
who is the creature on the swing thing?
NEVERMIND
something about those masot heads being all scattered around like that gives off a really ominous yet powerful energy
Why am I the first comment it's been a year than it was posted and it has over 100 likes
Funtown still has a web site up. I also found some news articles. He lost most of his buisnesses but still runs a festival. He had manic bipolar disorder and went off his meds and lost 2 buisnesses. Pretty sad story. Apparently he is back on meds and doing better now. It was already Guntown mountain before he bought it and turned it into Funtown mountain. Funtown mountain even has a youtube channel haha.
Can you send a link?

I grew up around this place back in the 70’s. Remember as a kid I would see the chairlifts moving up and down from the bottom of the mountain it was cool to see

Perfect place to film a creepy movie.

There seems to be some confusion in the comments, This Amusement park has had two names: Guntown and Funtown, it's not a typo. I thought the intro explained this but I guess it wasn't clear enough
wai why did he splash paint?

Save your family from a day of boredom!
*Save your family*

This is actually kind of sad. There was a lot of work put into this place... It's too bad that guy became "like that" and ended up losing it all (intentionally... but nonetheless.)
i agree. all that work just to be demolished. at least it can be appreciated by any curious adventurers though.
Indeed. Hopefully its remains can stay where it is and no one takes it all down to make a new damn condo or soemthing.
Orca that wears a tinfoil hat i know right? how could an idiot like that buy a family theme park and suddenly ruin it! i never been in funtown mountain but it really upsets me how Will Russel bought the place and destroyed everything. i wonder where that guy could be now.
Wait so he was a drug addictic
Orca that wears a tinfoil hat Agreed.
19:59 Hello darkness my old friend...
Guy 1: I heard that haunted hotel is really scary.
Guy 2: I’m sure it’s not so bad.

What
Kinda creepy and cool at the same time
What's interesting to me is that Billy Bob from the original showbizpizza was in one of the episode of Gravity Falls
That's exactly what I was thinking 😂😂
#BearoIsReal
Yeah that was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw it
ya he wa
+TehEpicPizza03 Actually it didnt. The plot for the episode was written before FNAF came out.
this story is kinda sad. it really shows how drugs can mess you up. will used to be my dad's friend. he actually worked there for a bit and sticked with will for the last days leading to his arrest(wills) I remember dad coming home saying "he went mad!"
+pastel_notes tfm it's very sad , I talked with some of the employees, they were very loyal and it was painful for the to go through
It was very beautiful there
pastel_notes tfm anyone who wants to see a prank in chanell or challenges videos please check out our video we are starting this chanell we really need your help please comment what you want to see subscribe and like and share please we need lots of help
Wow. That is really messed up coming from someone who knew of the guy before this video went viral.
It is sad, wish I could go back. I have been there years ago when it was originally gun town mountain. Although I don't remember most of what happened on my trip there...
As a Brit I find it fascinating how America has so many abandoned places like this. The UK is very small so nowhere is abandoned for long due to the need for space. I'd love to visit the US one day!
this is quite fascinating. I've always wanted to explore abandoned buildings.

Yes, it was based on the classic Rockafire explosion and Billy Bob.
and there's an episode

Holy crap, I remember seeing this place whenever my family would drive from Ohio to Louisiana. It’s so weird and oddly melancholic to see what’s become of it...
" That's a frog in a jar" NNNNNNNIIIIIIIIICCCCCEEEEE
Seeing Billy Bob and Fatz Geronimo in such a state of disrepair is heartbreaking. The whole park in that state is also heartbreaking. There are Rock-a-Fire Explosion collectors who could use those two for parts or possibly restore them. Awesome video, Jacob! Thanks!
+iKnuckles CEC I have been wanting to visit there...........
+Starscreamlive I hope they make there way to someone who cares about them
+The Carpetbagger Me too. Have you by chance seen the Rock-a-Fire Explosion documentary yet? It's very well done.

and Fatz too
Green track productions 😢 he was a good mascot.😔
look up tested billy bob and now a kid has it and is fixing it.
As another person said billy bob is being fixed by some kid
Wait for it...
On a higher note, a new bar opened called rockafire and they got the original rockafire explosion straight out of creative engineering. They needed some fixes, but it's open now and they're back
Gorilla's name is Fatz Geronimo
the thing at 20:46 reminds me of that guy who built a sally squirrel doll out of a human skeleton
Sally Acorn? I saw those photos. There isn't enough alcohol in Funtown Mountain to wipe that memory out.
What.. the fuck?
What in tarnation
Ah yes ive found it!!! I used to watch this repeatedly, at least 3 times a day when it first came out. It was my favorite thing on youtube. Im glad its still up, its so nostalgic and its what got me interested in the rockafire explosion, which is one of my favorite things to this date.
do you happen to know if anyone bought the place/ salvaged everything?? I'd assume this amazing video brought it to the attention of various collectors!!
Was that for kids?! Cause there is beer on the floor, half naked statue????? GEEZZZZZ LAWEEZZZ
Did that inspire “The Hug”? 24:31
Yes. That bear Billy Bob, inspired "The Hug" on Hulu
Yes
Blatantly. Aaron Fector threatened a lawsuit because the creators didn't ask permission to use the similar characters, but they reached a settlement
I think it was a mix of five nights at freddys and poor billy bob
I think in your profile pictures my kitty
Who’s here in 2020after the 5 kids whent missing
No kids went missing it was a fnaf hoax
I was doing some research then stumbled upon this
Yea Its just a fnaf hoax.
You must be no older than 9 if you believe the 5 kids went missing chuck e cheese shit
ʻOkahihalekanu I didn’t believe it I just seen everywhere
20:42 I believe that's actually a very limited production animatronic from Circus World, which I also believe had some kind of relation to Circus Playhouse. It's actually in pretty good condition all things considered. I hope someone who can restore it snags it soon because it's far more rare than a Showbiz Pizza or Chuck-E-Cheese animatronic.
OMFG IVE BEEN THERE A LING TIME AGO!!
I've been there when I was like,4 yrs old
21:03 that’s a pretty casket ❤️
I live an hour away from here and I never went when it was open 😂
Oof!😂😅
Omg j live three hours away :0 WHAAAATT
i still think about this place sometimes. it's so interesting and unnerving how Russel just went completely bonkers and essentially tore the place down. it's depressing seeing the animatronics just laying there on the floor and all the family's photos just laying there, discarded on the desks and floors. abandoned places used to be super interesting to me.
Not to sound rude but I would defiantly steal Lucy the Lioness on the swing next to the piano. If I could. I know I couldn't.
It's okay. Not rude to want but human. I thought the same thing about the Adam Bomb statue.
And I would steal it off of you
The character on the thumbnail looked like bear’o off gravity falls 😂
Because thats what Bear-o is based off of.

You can actually buy that bird online cause my grandma has the same exact one. And it wasn't that long ago so I don't think it would be worth a lot.
