I don’t think we should erase history good, bad, or indifferent because if we do, we were doomed to repeat it . But that’s my opinion.
The majority of those confederate statues were erected during Jim Crow era
1000% agree!!
If only someone had managed to convince the people who had Splash Mountain gutted that.
I agree with you. We have so much to learn
I Agree
The carving definitely needs cleaning as that is part of the attraction. For those who want it remove, just don't look at it but don't dictate to the rest of us who want to see it. The last time I was there was in 1987 and they looked great and the laser show was amazing. But this laser show goes way beyond amazing and spectacular. My brother and I enjoyed walking back way to the top.
My fiancee and I watch ALL of your videos!!! Thank you so much!!❤❤
The performers at the park did a great job.
Full on with the penny pressing today 😅
❤❤❤❤
Carpetbagger and dinosaurs go together like peanut butter and jelly. Hope you had fun at Dino Fest Jacob!
Dino Fest looks like lots of fun for kids of all ages! The performers really got into it.
Very well done, Jacob. Thank you for the visit.
Some trivia about the Stone Mountain monument: 1. Although the KKK made private attempts at a monument in the early 20th century, the state commissioned it in 1967 and it was completed in 1972, meaning Walt Disney World is older
2. Although the famous trio of Confederate generals is usually Lee, Longstreet, and Jackson, only Lee and Jackson appear on the mountain, with non-general Jefferson Davis as the third figure.
3. Of the trio, only Longstreet actually fought in the state of Georgia, and he usually identified himself as Georgian (though he was born near Augusta but in South Carolina), so you’d figure he would appear on a monument in Georgia. But after the war, he supported the abolition of slavery and citizenship for Black people, joined the Republican party, and supported Grant’s presidential campaign. Longstreet has only two memorials built for him, and one of those is at Gettysburg.
4. Longstreet’s second wife (a late marriage) died in 1962, only 10 years before the Stone Mountain bas relief was completed.
Please explain where you came up with this false information. Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee , and Thomas J. (Stonewall) Jackson are the gentleman carved on the face of Stone Mountain. Also until resently the park was owned by the Daughters of the Confederacy, known klan sympathizers. I've spent many summer nights on the great lawn watching the Lazer show. Back when the Olympic Games were held in Atlanta a lot of the events were held in Stone Mountain Park and ACOG or Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games actually wanted to blow the carving off the mountain (thankfully they didn't). It would be very shameful if we lost this monument even though it shows a dark point in our history. It is still our history either way. So otherwise please check your facts before you leave false information to mislead people who genuinely want to know the truth. Your so called trivia is part of the reason why we can't trust anything on the web. Also no one involved in the civil war lived into the 19 hundreds.
Very interesting facts. We appreciate your sharing these with us. 👍
awwww cute little squirrel posing in the trash can before you get on the sky car!
Stone Mountain is a cool park. Duck ride was excellent. Cable car,Train was fun too. Because I'm Happy...
Great video Jacob love the dinosaurs 🦕 have a great day and safe travels my friend.
Having grown up in the Atlanta area, my childhood was filled with frequent trips to Stone Mountain Park. Each time we climbed to the top of the mountain, and back down, as my parents were too cheap to buy tickets on the Skyride. Though at times I have lived very close to the mountain, I have not visited in years. This is largely due to learned a lot about the problematic history of the mountain, or rather the problematic history of the owners of the property on which the mountain sits. None the less, I'm glad you had a great time, and look forward to your next adventure!
Thanks for another awesome video! Felt like I was right there with you and everyone there. And i always share the fun
Thanks you for showing this 😊
Morning Jacob 🌞🤓📸 im so glad you go to other parks and its not just Disney like Adam does lol he does do other things but Disney is his main topic, you take a look at other things, that's what i like. Thanks for sharing this, stay safe my friend. ✌️
Hi there, and welcome to Atlanta and its surrounding area. I live in Powder Springs, to the west. I am from here, as were my parents, their parents and so on. I grew up going mostly to Kennesaw Mountain, but I love Stone Mountain, and I especially love the laser show. Musical bands such as Lynyrd Skynyrd playing while watching the lasers pointed on the beautifully carved mountain is something my family and friends and I always cherished. I don't want to argue with anybody, and in my family, we have our flaws. I am a recovering alcoholic and addict and I will have 9 years sobriety this June. I have certainly brought grief and heartache, not to mention embarrassment to my family. But we worked it out. The one thing that wasn't tolerated as I grew up and, currently, was racism. I grew up in the 70s and 80s in the south. The N word means hate in my family, and it was never tolerated. I don't know what punishment would have been handed down to me or one of my two sisters by my single mom because none of us ever said it. We all hated it, too. All I'm saying is you can enjoy that show and not be racist. Also, I would like to invite you to Kennesaw Mountain as well. That one is less touristy and more historical. It was a major battlefield in the Confederate war. You can take a bus up the mountain and learn so much about history. Enjoy your trip. Stay safe. I love your videos!! P.S. that is the worst laser show ever. They used to have an amazing show and played amazing music. The final song was "Georgia " by Ray Charles. It gave you goosebumps.
☮️🌌☮️🎶🌠🔥🐾🐾🐾
Good for you being 9 years clean! Congratulations, that is fantastic, I know how hard it was. ❤
@@suemoo22 Thank you so much !!!! It was very hard indeed. ☮️💓
What is it about animatronic, and even puppet, dinosaur that can make a grown man feel like a giddy seven year old boy?
Awesome video as always Jacob and keep up the awesome work and safe travels 🧳🥾
While it looks like fun, to me nothing can top your trip to Dinosaur Kingdom with the wacky civil war soldiers fighting dinos.
They do a great job of Dino time for everyone 😊😊😊😊😊
The last time I was at Stone Mountain was in 1966, I was 12 years old then. Back then, the train engine was of the steam engine style. The skyliner taking me to the top of that rock and looking out at the view like you did was some kind of awesome.
Kudos to your UA-cam Channel, Jacob! You're a great guy, Jacob! 👍👍👍👍👍
Erasing history doesn't change it. I'm sure that before it was created, there were ample opportunities to voice an opinion.
Have a great day, Jacob ❤️
VERY interesting n fun n unique video at Stone Mountain 🌄🏔️!! I've lived in Georgia before but have never made it to Stone Mountain. The various interactive dinosaur shows were excellent n it was great to see the kids joining in. The dog show was cute too!!! The fireworks 🎇 n laser n drone show was AWESOME DELUXE, VERY detailed n the projections included were GREAT!!! Attaboy, Carpetbagger!!!
Good morning from Gatlinburg TN Smoky Mountains Park Jacob 🏞️🌄🐻
HOW DID I MISS YOU?? I live 5 minutes from the mountain Aahhhhh!! Welcome to Georgia!! :D
Jacob I can't believe you walked to the edge of that cliff wearing your Crocs 🤯😂 you're much braver than me! I don't trust Crocs! Even on a dangerous cliff like that! 😅
Would love to see the Stome mountain Christmas 🎄 Jacob....had a great time on this adventure.....see u tomorrow....✌️❤️
There was also an 1840s antebellum house on the grounds. It had just opened, and Butterfly McQueen of GWTW fame was sitting by the front door and greeted us.
Im from Atlanta, and highly recommend the Georgia Aquarium.
I always enjoy seeing Jacob visit an Aquarium or Zoo.
Great event Jacob, I love all the dinosaurs.
In Stone Mountain Village, just outside the park, is Stone Mountain Cemetery, which is fascinating for many reasons, but for pop culture folx Stranger Things was filmed there (2nd season and 4th season), also right up the street from there is a little museum which is the Guinness Book of World Records holder for miniature chairs! It's in a small historic building, and the woman who collects/runs the place is wonderful.
You make me so nervous getting close to the edge on the mountain 😮😮😮😮
Stone mountain christmas is a must
Easter morning they always have a beautiful sunrise service that is amazing, as well.
☮️🌌🎶🌅 🌄 🌅
You walking to the chain link fence and holding your camera over made my stomach drop...twice.
There can never be enough BigFoot. And squee on the plushie campfire! and omg that light showL
That was amazing, thank you so much!
Funny story, I went to stone mountain in the late 90's with a school trip. We watched the laser show, and I got hit in the eyes with the laser. After that for a while I could see things in 3-D.regular pictures and I could easily see those blurry 3-D pictures they used to have to stare at very easy. The show has changed alot. Great video
Thank you for sharing with us all dear .
Jacob ur about to reach the 500k mark love that for you man as a early fan of ur content and channel i always new grate success would find you in abundance absolutely insane ❤
I got lightheaded just watching you on that mountain
Ironically just watched the vlog you and Adam did here a few years ago last week lol
Thankyou Jacob for taking us to Dino fest what a fun time 😊😊😊 loved the laser show and fireworks 🎆 that was so cool 😊 you’re right, a lot of stegosauruses that was funny to see😂😂😂😂😂
Bullfighting a dinosaur. 😂 Thanks for another great video. 👍
This past summer I went for the first time, it was great! We were there for the Latino fest and the music was great! ❤
I love how into it everybody was! Looks like a good time with a great show at the end. : )
I loved the dinosaur show, the girl was great, so enthusiastic! ❤
Very interesting! Looks like fun! Maybe we will go there. Thank you for taking us along on your journey 😊
Carpetbagger and dinosaurs go together like two objects I'm not going to specify because I've done too many of these now that inevitably end up as an apples vs. oranges flame war
Good Afternoon " YA ALL 'Jacob..!!
In 1985 my new wife and I spent part of our honeymoon here. At the time, the park honored its civil war history, but was also a place of remembrance fro those who fought for the south, for their homes, and states. Most were fighting in a war they'd gotten caught up in, against an invading army, who was burning and destroying homes and towns. The laser show back then was quite new, and projections as we have them today, were years away. Then the laser show focused on the war, and at one point you'd see the nation separate into two halves. They'd then outline the carved generals and bring them to life, with their horses galloping. The show continued and covered the war's end, and that map being reunited. The main focus was One Nation, America, and by the end of the show, with the lasers, fireworks, a beautifully told history, and music, you were so very proud to be an American. I was hoping one day to go back. I do love the improvements to the train. but after hearing they will no longer be caring for the great carving, a work of art and a history lesson we need not forget, closing down the museum, and in general doing their best to erase the parts of history they find offensive, I don't really care to any more. Erasing a nation's history, good or bad, is the tool of tyrants. Erasing the civil war from Stone Mountain is as bad as erasing African folk tales from Splash Mountain, simply because some object. Any history lost means it is no longer there to learn from, and future generations may well just repeat the mistakes of their ancestors.
Really cool lazor show loved it
I want to go!. That was very cool,😊
great little park!
Omg if your still near Stone Mountain go to jim and nics it’s a good bbq place I recommend the chicken strips
Hi Jacob really great show..!!! I enjoyed the drone show always find them so clever...!!! XXX
Back in the 60s they use to have a steam train take you around the mountain and there use to be a girl come running through the cars being chased by a Indian.
Good morning, Jacob. How is it that you plan where it is you will be going and when. How do you keep everything straight? Maybe you can do a vlog walking us thru your process. Have an awesome day!!!
I hear they do a big 4th of July, but I think I'd rather see what they do for Christmas time. Thanks for the visit to Stone Mountain. I've not been there since 2001.
Love this 😂 great video. I wanna to there!
The penny press on top of Stone Mountain was the crown jewel of the park. Shame it was out of order.
Allosaurus is my favorite dinosaur now 😂
We went as kids and I don't remember the fence at the top of the rock
How great was that!
i wonder if a gondola has ever fallen, scares the shit out of me lol
Looks like PS1 graphics, but its very well executed. Outside a theme park, Warwick Castle's (UK) Dragon Slayer summer night seems to (haven't seen it in person since I haven't been to the UK) have the best projection mapped show-it seriously looks like the castle is being blown up
Wabbit Season? Duck Season? No, Dino Season
That's was soooo cool👍😄❤ Thankyou my travel buddy!! ❤
I would like to see Geyser Towers.
It's been since i was 15 or 16 since i gave been there and i will be 40 tomorrow. It gas changed to me. I would love to go back.
Ive said it before and I'll say it again, add Outkast to the carving.
I'm a big fan of the letting mother nature sort it out but I do think this is the second best option lol.
Jacob good video i had a ancestor who fought in the war between the state his name was solmon page he fought on the losing said i have respect for both sides i keep my heritage proud but i also respect some peoples opinion
Awesome video that was fun
Yeah that mountain 🏔️ is awesome but I was surprised that this was kind of the kitty Park
Please go back for the Christmas event if possible. Great vlog buddy.
Dino 🍔 😊😂
Yeah Bigfoot is everywhere
Thank You Mr Carpetbagger for another awesome and amazing adventure. And I don't know if you hear it enough but you sir make the world so much better just by being you. Hoping you have a wonderful day Jacob. Much appreciation from Oregon
Im also in Oregon. I wish Jacob and Jenn lived closer and visited our state more often. Hopefully soon.
I love bigfoot too but yeah, he's everywhere, however most of us won't see as much as you do.
Carpetbagger, The BIGFOOT need MORE exposure. I think that Stone Mountain itself, is really a Giant UFO that's been parked there for centuries like in that movie War of the Worlds.
Dog-gone- it. That admission band/ bracelet looks enormous !!! I hope they dont put those on children. They wouldn't be able to bend their arm. ❤
@2:44 It was a paleon-tall-ogist 🦖
6:12 this segment just kept getting weirder and weirder.
I think that was a Home Depot Stegosaurus.
The word “grist” meant cereal grains to early settlers… fun fact!!!
If you’re ever back in the Idaho area you should definitely check out the laser light show they do at shoshone falls. If you do ever come this way hit me up. I work in a hotel and can help you out with a place to stay.
Cool
Hey Jacob , when you showed your pass you covered up the bar code but left the QR code exposed on the video. Not sure if anyone could access it but thought I’d let you know
Sir I love bigfoot as much as anyone but I think you're right about overexposure
They put on a pretty good show at the Stone Mountain. The name Stone Mountain is a little redundant though 😂
I don't think alot of people have an idea what the civil war was fought over it was not slavery but state choice of limited government involvement in state decisions slavery was not brought to the attention to the was till after it started
Today I learned that it's hard to depict a mountain in a snow globe without it looking mostly like a lump of poop.
Christmas
You can never have too much bigfoot.
Oh, FYI, part of Stranger Things was filmed on park property. The scenes where you see the characters walking down the track. Safe here, as there is no other rail traffic to worry about than the park railroad.
I just read about Stone mountains past and... wow. There... there was, and kinda still is, a lot a hate in this place. We shouldn't forget our past, but we also shouldn't glorify & celebrate the worst aspects of our nation... 😢
2:38 you mean "paleon-TALL-ogist"?
"see the t rex walking across the sky".....real time commentary can be hard after a long day. @35:23
