It was so nice to meet you last night when you were there. You made my sons rest of the year better. Thank you for taking a picture with him. He showed all his friends at school today. Love all your videos. Please keep doing what you’re doing. You are an amazing human being and Jen was lovely ❤
OMG congrats Jenn & Jacob! 😍 I never thought we'd ALL be invited to your wedding 😂 lol
As a UA-camr, just like you, Jacob, who travels all over the country documenting things I heard the news about Marvins a few weeks ago and knew that I would have to go back because this is from my childhood. I grew up going here when I lived in the Detroit area just saw your video and it’s awesome. And I was making a plan to go Tuesday so literally the day after you released this video. I will be documenting the place one last time and if it moves to a new location, I will document its new location as well.
Yeah, hopeful about the future, I actually feel a larger location might be beneficial
@@TheCarpetbagger yeah I was thinking that they could use a larger location that is less hidden so they could draw in more people and expand the collection. Even if they don’t exploit will allow things to be less cluttered.
@@TheCarpetbagger thanks for the reply Jacob 😊 safe travels
Always a delight to see you in my neck of the woods, _especially_ during these uncertain times for Marv's. This little Michigan institution needs as much exposure as it can get.
They need to save this magical place !
This video was such fun. I hope some how Marvin's can be saved. You and Jenn are adorable
I ABSOLUTELY love when you go to Marvin's ❤. We all get to have a great time EVERY time.
That ferris wheel machine sat outside the W. T. Grant department store in my hometown! I used to ride it over 55 years ago! I’ve got photos!
It’s amazing how each one of these machines has its own story
Can Jen be in more of your videos? It’s so fun watching you two together and Jen is absolutely awesome
She does have a health issue so it depends on how she’s feeling
This place is so cool I don’t know how you find these cool places ❤❤❤
yeah dude, you guys are really cute and it warms my damn heart 🥰
@@ryannodal9309 I didn’t know that but they sure are a cute couple nonetheless
Jenn has a channel. Once they live together I'm sure she'll be in a lot more.
My god! That place takes me back, when I used to take dates in the 80”s, they had a phone booth, where you could call someone with crazy background noises, I’d call my mom with the jail background, it freaked her out! Glad it’s still around! I grew up there, now in South Carolina!
Congratulations Jacob & Jenn!
That Alien rapper machine was hilarious!
Hey! Thanks for bringing this to light. I was so devastated when I heard they want to get rid of this fun place!
Thank you Jacob for coming back to Marvin's. Kudos to Jen's Misfits Hoodie!
I didn't mind to spend my time watching your vid because your vid is such a fun escape and kinda therapeutic ❤
Thanks for making it dude! I know your first vid was at this place and i commented when the idea of the demo was green light by Rochester hills and im glad you can see it one more time before it possibility goes for good.
Thanks my friend for documenting a piece of my childhood and reminding me I needed to stop by Marvin’s while up in Detroit tomorrow.
Wow, did not know that Tally Hall album was named after a real place.
Tally Hall was awesome
If you love the Magician posters, the next time you're in Michigan you should check out Abbott's Magic Shop in Colon. The whole town is the 'Magic Capital of the World' and Abbott's is awash in awesome posters. :)
He should really go during Abbott's Magic Get-together in early August.
@@philipwright8810 100% agreed!!
The alien was singing the song by the Beastie Boys called "Intergalactic" just so everyone knows lol😅
time stamp?
Glad you got the message regarding the Museum's future. I'll try to keep you updated as I hear stuff. Good to see you got Jen out to see the place as well.
Looks like such a cool place, shame they may have to move. Sucks but grateful that they will move the collection rather than just shut shop completely. Hopefully it won't ever have to come to that. Thank you Jacob and Jenn. Congratulations on your marvellous marriage! Hope you have a lovely honeymoon :)
P.S. Gutted the Smarty Bear machine 37:01 wasn't working. I wish I still had my Smarty Bear, but I was terrified of it back then XD
Love the wedding one !! Congrats!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Glad you were in Michigan where I am..near Detroit though...yes it was pretty snow yesterday and left a coating on cars last night.
Love u and Jenn together everyone Deserves a happy partner ❤
Great to see Jen and you. Have Fun. Stay Safe. 😊
I’m glad I went this Wednesday after I heard the news
I literally laughed out loud when the alien broke out the beastie boys 😂
The drum game that Jenn liked is on Nintendo switch. It's called taiko no tatsujin, and you can even get a drum for it!
I recall when Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco had an arcade with this type of entertainment Loved it! Thanks Jacob and Jenn for a very fun video, I really hope they do not demolish it I see Jenn has finally discovered the joys of Crocs
OK the Autowed is freakin adorable. It seems straight out of Futurama!! LOL
So many great memories in that fantastic place growing up, was happy to see you back there today 🙂👍🏻
Love it! “Jenn are you okay?” 😂
Love and miss this place so much. Thanks for visiting and sharing the sights! Here's hoping Marvin's can afford to move into a larger, better space, and maybe get declared a historical landmark. It's a gem!
Have a safe trip. I'm glad you are having fun along the way. Love you both ❤️
I think the hairy thing hanging from the ceiling was from The Dark Crystal
It's so cool to see a machine from Brighton, England. I live 30mims from Brighton and it's a fun seaside city but there aren't any vintage arcades anymore. Unfortunately the owners sell off machines to America because there's more interest there. Great to see this thriving place!
Marvin doesnt own that building, its leased like all the others. im sure they will find a bigger better place to rent or buy
Or it'll all be over because they can't afford to move
I was js they shouldn't be forced out for a meijer
@@scummymummy2548You can't buy it from his son his son owns it not the building but the museum you are really dumb for thinking about buying it
@@scummymummy2548 that was a very reasonable offer. It just shows how greedy everyone is at the end of the day.
@@scummymummy2548you don’t need it 😭
Dearest Jacob & Jenn . That was fantastic, especially the Autowed machine made me smile alot . Jacob , the Lady wears Crocs ! She is a keeper for sure ❤❤❤❤
I had an opportunity to visit a while ago, it would be quite a challenge to move everything, but honestly they could use a larger space. The space is cramped, in the back of some random strip mall. I hope that they continue for many years, but a new space wouldn't be the worst thing.
Mantis was converted to a floorless sit down coaster now called Rougarou. Mean Streak got the RMC treatment and is now Steel Vengeance, which also happens to be my number 1 in my rankings.
So awesome! We went for the very first time on Saturday, it was PACKED! We were inspired to make the 4hr drive after seeing one of your older videos. I truly hope they can stay in that location.
Man I love that place. I just visited and filmed a video there 2 weeks ago. It will always be an icon in the area. You have to visit and support if you live in Michigan.
Hope this place doesn’t close 😩I want to go here so bad
This was a fun video. Love this museum that looks like so much fun. Thank you for sharing this.
The couple famous roadside attractions on the Outer Banks in NC already are being destroyed. The Futuro house from 1972 in Frisco burned down just a little over a year ago. The large sand castle from 1978 is now exposed after being hidden inside the largest sand dune on the east coast and is suffering damage now. Not sure how long it will last but some pics still show it. Outer Banks still has some great fiberglass attractions and New Bern, NC still has the "Birthplace of Pepsi" museum and shop.
Good morning! I love your hair like that, Jenn! What an awesome place! Congratulations on your wedding. 🎉
Can’t believe you’re that far. Amazing how you get around.
Glade to see you in this video Jenny you and Jacob are awesome together going places on your adventures. Stay safe and take care.
This was so much fun!
Oh I love the autowed machine, I am so glad that Jacob did not press #2 congrats kids I know you love each other
38:50 🇯🇵translators
1P"Failed. Will do better next time”
2P”Cleared! It was so successful!”
I am so glad to see you both enjoyed the Japanese video game🥁♡
HEY,... JACOB & JENN Well Ya !
I really been Enjoying today's Episode with all the awesome old Games and stuff
OK take care and stay safe
Aw, let me buy you two a cup of coffee next time you're in Michigan!
Love Jens energy 😊 she’s so fun & cool Misfits hoodie btw 😎
, love your vlogs together
this place looks awesome all those machines so cool X
Well, I hope somehow in someway that this gets preserved because it looks like a really fun place to be and to have fun. I love the rapping alien.❤😮😅.
Oh my goodness, how lovely to see the torture automata that I saw (along with many other penny arcade machines) on Brighton Pier in either 1979/80. Thanks both 👍🏻🇬🇧
43:28 Mantis is gone, but the model of it is still there, it was rebranded with new seat into an floorless coaster instead of an stand up back in 2014-2015 and renamed it to Rougarou.
Mean Streak was removed to make way for Steel Vengeance back in 2016, SteVe open to the public in 2018
The rest of the coaster on the side of the machine are still at the park, and have still remnant in there original areas
It's been a few years since I did a video here myself. Need to get back over here in the next few weeks. Such an amazing place and I was surprised to hear about it through your channel first as I only live about 45 minutes away. Great video as always and I agree with you 100%. You never know when things will disappear or go away or how much time each of us has on earth. Live it to the fullest! 👍
The furball with teeth,@37:50 hanging from the ceiling is Fizzgig from "The Dark Crystal."
Congratulations on the marriage, guys!
You & Jenn are too cute! 😊
Jacob, you and Jenn make a great team!
Wowza, what a cool place! 😊 Sure wish we had a Marvin's here in South Carolina. ❤
Thank you both for taking us along.
One of my earliest memories is of my grandfather putting me on a Ferris wheel ride very similar to that one. I think of him whenever I see one I'll keep my fingers crossed for Marvin's. Places like that are absolute treasures, and should be preserved. Oh, and I'm an accredited minister of the Universal Life Church, and would be honored to preform your actual wedding. Just saying.
Bro Meijers is EVERYWHERE around there. They can’t take Marvin’s away from us.
I was the kid with the purple that took a picture with you
It was great to meet you
hope the best for this piece of history.
After it being on my short list of must visit places, I finally got to visit Marvin’s today! Running into The Carpetbagger would have made it perfection. 😃
I Just put Marvin's down for one of my roadtrip stops this winter from Chicago. Thanks CB I'm looking forward to supporting.
Does Jen collect Pennie’s? Because I do. It’s a fun hobby
Congratulations on your wedding!!! Condolences on your annulment. 😂
Come to Sparks Pinball Museum if you’re still in the area. Only 25 mins from Marvin’s.
I missed this one when I was on vacation. This place is so cool, wish I could visit! Congrats to you & Jen! 🎉🎊
Congratulations on your Marvin-uptuals! :D
That is an incredible place! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing it with us! It looks like an incredible place! And one of the planes circling the room was the Little Stinker, a biplane with a red sunburst pattern that I built as a U-Control plane. I worked on that plane so lovingly and finally it was ready to fly. We took it out to a place called Whittier Narrows in southern CA and while we were flying another plane, my sister and her friend were running around and trampled my Little Stinker!!! Oooh, I was crushed (as was the plane). It was so nice to see it up and "flying" again. :D
I might overshare in your Comments sections. ;)
What a great video. Love yall Jenn and Jacob 3 life I cN see yall getting married. I know it was a shocker. I personal love you and Jenn together. You both have a fun personality good cisco with good people love yall
I think you get the furball with the teeth if you feed a tribble after midnight.
Safe travels Jacob! 😊
awww you n jen great together
That Furball with teeth is named Fizzgig, its from The Dark Crystal.
I hope they find another building
I still bummed that Roadside America is out of business
Thir is a Atari 2600 homebrew version of food ninja
This was a great video! You and Jen play off of each other so well. More Jen in your videos more often.
i worked at the tj max around the corner from marvins and after my shift i would come in almost every day and see something new
its simply my favorite place on the planet
to think meijers wants to demolish such a beloved place makes me sick
corporate greed is where imagination goes to die
why not rent the abandoned store right across?!
please god dont destroy marvins..
Let Jenn know it’s not just her thinking that about the stacker, that machine was set really high!
yeah that was wicked fast for a stacker game
Hope they stay put or find a suitable "new location".
Thanks for taking us there. It is rare today to find such a large collection of various small attractions all in one place. It looks like a lot of thought was put in designing the various games, exebitions, and rides. I hope it can survive where it is since it would require a lot of work to
remove and relocate such a large collection. Not to mention trying to find a location that locals and tourists will come to support its operation. As you said when you discover something like this try and stop and see it since you never know if it will be there the next time you are in that area. Society puts little value in amusement parks and roadside attractions so many times they are lost to redevelopment projects that have more perceived value. Enjoy them while you can!
Good morning from Freezing Gatlinburg TN Smoky Mountains Mr Bagger 🏞️🐻🍁💧
Thank you for taking us to such a cool place. I hope it does stay open in Forever because that’s a really neat place for kids.
Such a fun place to visit. I'd be there a good 3hrs playing the pinball machines. Thanks for taking me.❤
Welcome back to Michigan Jacob! Big warm welcome to Jenn as well. Your wedding bot part choked me up a bit, and I now have a strange craving for a spaghetti bath. I never knew this place existed like 50 miles from me. Hope you go a little North to Frankenmuth to see Bronner's and all CHRISTmas. I think they tore down the standing rollercoater "Mantis" @ Cedar Point. You're doing great for taking a break my brother. Stay safe .
Mantis and Mean Streak are kind of only intact structurally, but are completely different experiences (or coaster credits)
I saw you the day you came in on Sunday (unless I’m wrong) and nice videos and the lady seemed nice when I took you at the prize counter. Also there’s many random stuff like a pair of legs with heels hanging from the ceiling ,took me months to see it jaja . ❤
I can't believe I live so close to Marvin's & I've never been there! Very interesting animatronics. Ms Jen - I love your shirt! Yes, I'm a metalhead.
I really enjoy both of your channels, you both make me smile with memories of some of the places you've been to, my parents took us all over the country, my brother pointing at all the roadside attractions & my dad saying no to most of them. I always share your videos with my brother, makes him smile too.💜🤘💜
Happy days you two
So cool! Would love to go there some day!!
Awesome place, hopefully it stays untouched. Awesome video by you two as always!
Ohh no!! Jenn has crocks too!! Maid for each other! 😀😀
This video has it all! Great job.
At 25:54 it's "entertainer the star of the show!"
Now the curtain is going up
The entertainer is taking a bow
Does his dance step and sings his song
Even get all the audience to sing along
Yes he knows just what he must do
Knows how to bring down the house when he's through
Snappy patter and jokes
He knows what pleases the folks
The entertainer the star of the show
It was in Vaudeville
And he was on the bill
With all the singers, dancers, acrobats and clowns
There was a dog act there
Even a dancing bear
And a comedian who never lets you down
But when he came on
To sing his favourite song
He really wowed them in the cities and the towns
They came from near and far
To see the Vaudeville star
The entertainer the star of the show!
I hope it doesn’t get demolished
Love your videos. To help you out, that wasn't a Wookie, that was FIZZGIG from "The Dark Crystal."
loved this video! the alien rapping "intergalactic" was hysterical, and jacob you should know PLINKO ;) jk but really...no Price is Right is your early years hmmm?
Ok why did the auto wed machine sound like the computer from the movie War Games 😂😂😂
GREATINGS PROFESSOR FALKIN. SHAL WE PLAY A GAME?
