    Carpetbagger, I just wanted to say that when I was dealing with some horrible anxiety a few years ago, watching you just wander museums and show off cool exhibits was easily one of the best ways for me to calm down and let my mind relax for a bit. To this day I keep coming back when I have an off day. Appreciate it, king

      Same here. A few years ago my fiancee died of cancer, and all I could think of was all the fun places we'd never get to go. But through Jacob I've been enjoying discovering just how much is out there, just how much fun there is to be had out there, and more and more I'm ready to get back out there....thanks to Jacob.

      It’s funny how you know that these videos are made just as an authentic interest in these places and it can be a life like to a like minded person. Maybe everyone should just do that thing they were thinking about doing. Not just for themselves but some other like minded person.

    Jacob the Carpetbagger and A Study in Fear and Terror.
    Case #1 begins at 10:21 with his famous catchphrase "And our chariot...awaits." Notice how Jacob goes from "I'm ready!" to "I hate this!" in less than three seconds!
    Case #2 begins at 36:31 with an abbreviated "And our chariot awaits here." Now notice how in just a few seconds, Jacob goes from having the best time on a mountain coaster at 37:10 to once again petrified, terrified, and any other "ified" words you can think of.
    But think of this...he does it just for US! Just so we can vicariously enjoy the thrills from the safety of our screens. Thank you, Jacob. I've been having a TERRIBLE business trip, and you made it all so much easier. :) THANKS AGAIN! Time to up my Patreon support! :)
    And hey, when you bring Jenn to Anakeesta, can she ride those and have a cam with her too? I'd love to see how she enjoys it!!!

    Jacob thanks for doing a video about Anakeesta. I don't live very far away and I enjoy seeing how other creators report on their visit. Although the open air Ridge Runners are less scenic in a way, you will see more wildlife and that includes those Smoky Mountain Bears.
    I think the best time to visit Anakeesta Theme Park is during the off-season. The park is open year-round, but the crowds are usually thinner during the winter months.
    During the busy fall and winter months, I recommend visiting Anakeesta at night to watch the sunset, enjoy a fire pit, or go upscale dining. Anakeesta also has a nighttime attraction called Lumina Enchanted Night Walk, where new groups can enter every 15 minutes from 6-9:30 PM.
