This whole attraction has so much heart and looks like a lot of fun. The scare actors are top notch! One if the Best attractions over all. Thanks, for sharing CarpetBagger!
I worked at Miracle Strip for 6 years ,and worked this ride too many times to count . Best job I ever had . Also Val Valentine made the rides Abominal Snowman & Dantes Inferno at Miracle Strip
Yay. The, "dont scare me, dont scare me", intro. 👻👽💀🎃
Jacob, you are the most knowledgeable carpetbaggers I know! I have been traveling vicariously through you for many years. Thanks for all you do ❤
This looked so fun! I wish more of these dark rides would be saved and repurposed like this.
This is awesome way better than most dark rides. Plus all the fun things you can do there is way more worth it than my Six Flags , we cannot even have haunt fun with bad weather shutting it down and only operating on a freakin Saturday . Great fun carbetbagger, say hi to Jenn please.
The Bullet looks as bad as the Zipper!
Thank you Jacob. I think this was the best Haunt ever. I think the others go overboard with the blood and gore. This one just scares you not gross you out.
It is an amazing haunt. I live less than a mile away. The owner turns the ride into a Christmas theme during the holidays with tons of vintage blow molds and such. Jeremy Cruse is his name. He's a super nice guy!
I love old dark rides. This is a really great looking one
I used to live in Panama City a long time ago. It's so cool to see the Haunted Castle!👻
Wow, I am so surprised you rode that ride. You are braver than me. I love how you said this sucks lol.
The dark ride feels akin to a Scooby-Doo cartoon. Love it. 😄
Super spooky!! It wouldn't be spooky season without Jacob screaming!! ❤❤❤
This Attraction is so much fun and I had an absolute Blast when I went. We need more Haunts with Carnivals because this one is on my Top 10 list for Hunts this year. So glad you were able to make the trip to Jacob.
I remember that ride I rode it from the sixties all the way til they closed miracle strip great memories I live about an hour from Oxford I'm gonna go ride it again
Yes!!!! My teenage spring breaks were spent at Miracle Strip!!
Omgoodness this brings back the best memories of me riding this favorite ride at Miracle Strip in PC! ❤️❤️
I just relived my childhood watching this video. Thank you CarpetBagger. The Bullet and Faris Wheel also looks like they are from the old Amusement Park as well. I spent many weekends at that park. Awesome to know the rides are still being used.
Jacob’s tombstone will read “what was I thinking?”
Or, caution: those headlights and horn were real!
Miracle Strip also had the sister haunted house to the mysterious mansion. It was called Old House. I was super disappointed when it was removed from the park in the late 90s. It even had the flashing skeleton that the mysterious mansion use to have
This ride brings back memories. We stayed on miracle strip every summer. 😊
Same here, so many great memories! I’ve been looking for footage of this ride for years now! I’m so happy to see it’s been restored! It’s a damn shame that the park was closed for what was supposed to be condos that never happened. So much history was destroyed and lost forever and much of what used to make Panama City so unique (The Miracle Strip, Haunted Wax Museum, the huge statues that were everywhere, and the restaurant shaped like a ship are all gone now.
I will never get tired of your "jump scare" screams, nor your "oh ohhhhhh oh ohhhhhhh" on insane amusement park rides. Awesome.
Jeremy is a cool dude. People are really surprised at what all he has made fit in what space he has. He really goes all out when it comes to details.
That's awesome that you went on a dark ride that was preserved from the 1960's Jacob. It looks soo cool and haunting in my opinion
I def appreciate u going on the upside down ride for us. Also their use of mechanical fire alarm horns and horns in general in the haunt and dark ride was exceptional!
This brought back memories!!! I used to ride this at Miracle Strip when I was a kid....long time ago!
Same here!
That dark ride was great! Love the black light 🖤
A stage coach powered by a K truck lol
Never been to the Miracle Strip, but I'm glad the ride was saved. It really is like going back in time for a minute or so. Didn't like all the horns in the haunt though. More annoying than scary. Made me feel like I was stuck in traffic.
An awesome Halloween Hollerin video, Jacob!
thank you for coming through!!!come see us next year!
That vortex tunnel was amazing. I love the display of the skeleton fishing the skeleton out of the fountain. Thanks for bringing us here with you!
Oh man I rode this as a child forty years ago at the Miracle Strip! This thing scared the hell out of me and I’ve been trying my best to find footage of it for the past decade! I’m so happy to see it’s still around and has been lovingly restored for younger generations to be righted just as I was way back then. Back when it was in Panama City at the park the ride was inside a castle looking building with a creepy tree that looked like a face.
I did notice one thing that had changed however, there was a mannequin in a round tube of what I believe was a fish descaler that would tun around inside. I believe it was right at the end before just before the exit but I could be mistaken. From what I remember a lot of the original props are still there though!
Cool dark ride. I love the dark rides! That looks like a really good haunt! Lots of jump scares. My son hates all the screaming from the actors. He says that they should be able to scare you without screaming.
Awesome Jacob thanks for taking me that was so much fun . So glad you got to attend ❤❤❤
They should name the ferris-wheel the "Scare-Us Wheel".
Best dark ride ever thanks for taking us along enjoyed it so much colors and lighting was amazing 😊😊😊❤❤
My family and I used to go to the miracle strip every year when I was a kid, it was heartbreaking when they tore it down
Good morning Jacob 🌞 thanks for sharing this. Happy Halloween 👻🎃 my friend. This one is in the bag. 📸🤓👍
You can really tell you enjoy your job. I know it’s a grind traveling all the time but you never let it show and I for one enjoy the wholesomeness and good old fashioned fun especially in these crazy times we live in. Keep doing a great job and thank you so much.
This is one of the best! Small town....better than the much bigger cities! Enjoyed!!
This place takes me back to my childhood I was a regular when I was a child
Awesome Jacob. Love your videos. We are from Australian and are just spending our first day of 5 weeks in Pigeon Forge. After watching you and Adam The Woos videos.
That was a cool carriage ride and Ferris wheel. Now that what I call a dark ride. Thats the best I have seen in a while. Was surprised when you road the bullet.The haunted was awesome . Got a lot of screams out of you. That was truly awesome Jacob .Cool plant shop, Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤
I love the lady in the haunt who yelled and then started laughing after lmao
Great video Jacob seems like they put a lot of Heart and so into it looking forward the next one safe travels my friend.
WOW!!! That ride is beautiful! Love all the neon! Thanks so much! 💚🧡🖤💙
You are my favorite channel. Thank you for posting all the wonderful dark rides. I absolutely love them !!
It's so awesome that they preserved it!
Great to see a haunted house that's actor focused instead of relying on animatronics for the scares.
The skull on the Ferris wheel reminds me of my vintage(?) Halloween decorations. 🙂 EDIT-- C'mon, Jacob-- hit the lever with the mallet like it owes you a *lot* of money. 😀
The ride there was really cool. Gratz to the driver and machinists! Were you training to become an astronaut? That darkride looked amazing. Great job on the restorations, mates!
Wow Jacob best dark ride ever ❤❤❤❤
Love it amazing dark ride it well taking care of. I can't wait to ride the new dark ride at Niagara amusement and splash park (Martin fantasy island) grand island newyork I am 20 minutes from there my family went there every year and we still do
Such an amazing ride
That’s one Tracy ride saved
Hopefully more amusement parks will revive some Tracy rides in the future
Now, this is every haunters dream!! Fun,fun,fun!!!! 🎃🎃🎃
Love the mask Jacob... Another great haunt in the bag.!!!! You make all these events so much fun.. XXX
I knew you were gonna ride that dark ride more than once,lol!So much fun,thank you Jacob❤🤍💙
Love this. The Bullet ride was like you were getting a double eye poke from a ghost
Wow, that dark ride was spooktacular 👻🌟💗 I was surprised that You rode The Bullet 🙀🦁 The haunted house was cool although I could do without the buzzers, sirens and horns 🤷😹🙉 and Yay 🙌 You got to ride the Ferris Wheel 🎡 🌟💗 Thanks for bringing Us along Jacob 🙏💝😻
Wow cool!! How do you find all these cool places that I didn’t even know they existed!! Too bad it’s so far from me!!! 😢 lol thst loop o plane ride I call it The Hammer. They had it in Coney Island , Brooklyn, Nyc back in the 70s- 80s. I rode it in 87 when I was 15, I had blacked out on it a few times! The engine from the ride had a loud roaring sound it went t really really fast…then the muffler would make really loud popping sounds like an m-80 😂😂
Lol! Thank you for the wonderful video , Jacob.❤❤❤
thei part when you are in the vertexes and swilling awesome
This is crazy! I rode that ride in PC! I had no idea the ride was recreated. I thought it was a shame what happened to the park and the hotels that were supposed to take its place never were built. The lot is still abandoned looking. There is a bar that is making a duplicate of the abominable snowman statue which should be interesting
Very good attraction, awesome dark ride! Glad you rode the dark ride several times, loved it!
Pretty dang cool!
That was AWESOME! Thank you for taking us along.
I love the haunted castle ride for sure 😀🙌🏻
JACOB please look into 301 devils playground in Galena, MD for next season. After visiting many haunts, I went there for the first time tonight and place it immediately in my top 3. It was TERRIFYING and well worth a visit. 4 attractions and truly so creative and makes you lose your breath.
Hay you all carpetbagger here this video is amazing with the scare actors and Halloween haunt keep this train on the tracks and this boat in the water and this derigable in the air this one is in the bag.
Here because of my severe anxiety, Jacob saves me again.
You brave go in there i. Can’t those rides
That’s the classic Eyerley Loop-o-Plane. One of the most nauseating machines I have been on. They did the Rock-o-Plane, Roll-o-Plane, Loop-o-Plane and Fly-o-Plane. I’m lucky enough to have been on all four, with the Loop-o-Plane being the least pleasant experience.
I think Jacob has gotten over his fear of crazy rides.
You get to find all the amazing roadside attractions year-round on your constant travels around all 50 states and the Canadian provinces, glad you had fun and Happy Halloween!
This is only about an hour from me. I had no idea we have such a neat haunt here in Alabama.
Nice to see that there are not any issues with single riders on the Ferris wheel! 😀. Great video as always Jacob. Thank you for sharing. (Edit: just noticed they were playing “You Make Feel Like It’s Halloween” by Muse when you were on your final dark ride. Such a great song. I recommend checking out the video for the song as it is one big ode to spookiness!)
I remember getting on the "Bullet" when i was a kid it was so intense I was never able to ride any more Carnival rides except the Merry Go Around to this day
Hi, carpetbagger! Loving the videos. This one felt like Michael myers was going to be standing somewhere when you was in that carriage. Actually looked bit like haddonfield from the movies 😂
I remember Dark Rides from my childhood, it would be cool to visit this one 🎃👍
🦇💜🦇Happy Halloween Everyone!! 🎃
So they actually do a Halloween festival that's awesome
Jacob...wow...great episode but that such a unique attraction...glad they salvaged the parts of the dark ride...the clock resembled a funni frite prop but who knows....EPIC...keep it up.
Was great fun. Quite the place loved it
This town knows how to party 👻
I've been to miracle strip, it was a good time.
Awesome video, Jacob! Any chance you might be headed to the Arkansas State Fair and maybe Creepy Works in Conway?
That was awesome!!!!
I'm going to have to visit this place before I die. It's awesome to see one if Bill Tracy's creations preserved this well. It looks like you're too young to have ever visited Idira Park in Youngstown when it was still open. You missed two of Tracy's projects; The Gold Nugget (later Kooky Castle) dark ride, and the Whacky Shack (unlike most of his rides that used that name, it was a funhouse, not a dark ride). Now that I think of it, the Lost River at that park was also designed by Tracy. The Gold Nugget was interesting because it didn't use his trademark hush puppy cars; it used the cars and track from the Laff In The Dark ride that had been in the building before that.
This is a really fun place.❤
This reminds of the defunct Tornado dark ride from great escape in lake George ny. 😢😢😢😢
In the haunt, "WHY ARE YOU DOING THESE THINGS!?" :D
My father would have loved this , as did , I . As did , I.
I can see why you liked the old classic dark ride. Lots of spook affect.
I was expecting to hear more screaming from you during the bullet ride😂
Ray Bradbury would have approved. 🥰
16:49 Nobody is going to mention how strong Jacob's legs are?! 😂
That's how dark rides should be. Not like these modern "DARK" rides that are all light up and you grab a laser gun and shoot targets
You would be good for the Rock "O" Plane!
Seeing the queue on ride looks like mannequins in a ballroom
I wish boo blasters at kings island would have scare actors in it
Loved the NC fair will go again next year to SC and NC I enjoyed the video are you going to Scarawinds Jacob?
