The Bedrock City near the grand canyon is probably one of the eeriest things I've ever seen. I'd like to see it in person
Pfp
David Feltheim off topic: i love yur Pea-tear icon! 😀
The Meowth,Thaaat's RIGHT! Pea Tear? Dont you mean Petter?
Nickleodeon had so many cool attractions and shows, it's sad how far they have fallen.
Bryce Mckenzie I wish that they hadn’t.
Well there are some nickodlean rides in mall of America
And a Scooby doo movie rides a Warner permier parks Australia
Bryce Mckenzie man. I wish I had the chance to go to a Nickleodeon theme park
For real , Doug, rocko modern lives. Rugrats. Etc SpongeBob
Bryce Mckenzie The thought of Jimmy Neutron being replaced by the Minions infuriates me. Ever since they took Jimmy 's place I've developed a burning hate for the Minions.
Finally SOMEONE talks about Bedrock City!
Not all heroes wear capes...jk ;)
Yesterworld Entertainment No capes!
@Cheep Cheep That's just one of the newest attractions. Now you can get high off some rocks with the Flintstones
whats bed riock city?
I remember going there too! I remember kids beating up Fred.
*Corrections
Whoops, accidentally said "2012" instead of "2002" regarding Funtastic World's closure, so please forgive the blunder. I must have also had Disney on the brain because I repeatedly said "Phantom Manor" instead of "Phantom Theatre". Then again, it wouldn't be a Yesterworld video if I didn't read at least one date and/or name incorrectly from the script ;)
Yesterworld Entertainment what’s up I’m a huge fan my dad has been to wonderland Sydney and even has a magnet from wonderland I will look for it and I’ll send a pic
You also said phantom manor instead of phantom theatre.
Yesterworld I am a huge fan I have been watching your videos for a very long time
Thanks for telling me.
I got a story for you, pal. I went to Universal Orlando during my high school freshman year in Spring 2005. You see, my mom died from leukemia and my dad started a fund dedicated to her. And we made enough to go to Florida for Spring Break because my Uncle Donald was living there at the time. Ever since I saw the Universal Studios Florida ad from the VHS release of Jetsons: The Movie, it was my childhood dream to go there as a family. Alas, my dream came with a price. At least we got to go there and Walt Disney World before the New Fantasyland change. And we (my dad, sister, and myself) went to the Jimmy Neutron attraction, had fun, and met SpongeBob. And the guy who got defeated is Ooblar's brother, King Goobot.
I remember going to the Bedrock City in South Dakota when I was a little kid. The weather was terrible and we had to sleep in a tent, but I still had a blast.
Otaking Mikohani lol!
@@MsEliteForever do you know what Bedrock City even is?
@@uzm2589 lol 3 years later. Yea.
@@MsEliteForever XD
someone should makes a full fledged outdoor nickelodeon theme park
Luciano Alonso they have one indoor park with a second one under construction. They wanted to use Six Flags New Orleans as an outdoor park but that park just can’t make a sale.
@Luna Delight but that's in England. We need 1 in America.
They have one in Mall of America which I visited this Summer.
Wasn't there one at Blackpool Pleasure Beach? As a British person who grew up with Nick I remember that being advertised a lot. Idk outside the UK (but let us keep this to ourselves!!! lmao)
Why not you
I live near Chilliwack and always BEGGED my parents to take me to dinotown. When we finally did it was utterly underwhelming
I've driven passed it many times as a kid when my family would go camping up around Hope, but never actually visited it. I've been to that waterslide park nearby several times though.
I was a kid when Kings Island still had Hanna-Barbera land. I watched a lot of old cartoons with my grandparents so that felt really special. When I got a little bit older and it change to Nickelodeon it was more of a fantasy come to life. I miss it so much.
I actually went through Nickelodian: Outta Control when I was a kid! That was a weird attraction. I remember one room where as far as I can remember we were supposed to just run around making noise in various ways, and another with funny mirrors that I think had something to do with Aaah Real Monsters characters. Then at the end they made you pose for various photos like one where everyone in your group was meant to be picking their nose. I'd be fascinated to see what remains of it some day!
As someone who's home park is King's Island, this really put a smile on my face. Hanna Barbara land growing up was amazing. The carousel was even themed to the characters, how cool is that? I had always heard about the smurf ride growing up. It's neat to be able to see videos of it. I think it's because of that ride we still call the iconic King's Island blue ice cream "smurf ice cream." As for Phantom Theater, I really loved it as a kid. It was an obvious rip off of the haunted mansion but it was nice as a kid having something so close to disney that I could go to whenever I pleased. I've always hated the scooby doo version as well as boo blasters. Thanks for this video!!
Also, forgot to mention a story about the Wild Thornberries ride. I'll never forget, it was during Fear Fest/Halloween Haunt and we were walking in that area. I must have been relatively young anyway my dad had walked off a bit of distance ahead of me. Anyway there's an elephant towards the end of the ride that would spray out water. I was walking through the dark, in the fog. The ride it's self wasn't actually operating. As i'm walking by the ride on the path, the elephant goes off! I think I ran to my dad right away. I didn't get wet or anything, the distance was too far. Still scared the hell out of me. I was always leery of the elephant afterwards.
It's so cool that you got to experience that!
I’m only 17, so I obviously couldn’t experience it, but my home park is King’s Island too, and my since both my parents grew up here too, they’ve told stories of Hanna Barbara land, especially the ride featured here, and I’ve seen videos and it seems like something that really would’ve been fun! I’d never heard of the smurfs ride, or the haunted mansion rip off (or if I had I’ve forgotten), but those seem interesting too. I’ve unfortunately only been able to go to KI a handful of times, since it’s so expensive, and I’ve only known that ride as the current boo blasters (though I’ve only been on it once when I was maybe 10 or 11, I didn’t even want to go on it it scared me so much, oops). Rambling aside, I love learning about the park’s history!
Not only Hanna Barbara Land but I think King's Island as a whole during that time was amazing. I know people love Cedar Fair as a company but King's Island when it was owned by Paramount was top tier. I would highly look into Tomb Raider: The ride or even Italian Job/Stunt Coaster/Whatever it's called today. They watered Tomb Raider down from being one of the best themed rides outside of Florida and eventually ruined it. They're basically doing the same with the Stunt Coaster ride. It's a big shame you weren't able to experience King's Island during that time. Cedar Fair might do coasters right but they can't theme things to save their souls.
I've never been to King's Island, but I live in Texas and we have a Six Flags I like to go to for Halloween that used to have a "sister" to that Scooby-Doo ride. I LOVED it! I don't deal well with thrill rides and I love Scooby-Doo, so that was the only thing I could ride at the park... Unfortunately, they closed our Scooby ride last year. TTnTT I was really sad to hear it.
The Arizona set looks like something out of Mad Max.
I know right! I mean they've done some decent refurbs recently, but still...
I went to it when I was very little. It sucked a lot. They gave me a rock from the ground and told me it was a meteor. Oof.
Oof, I remember the Scooby Doo blaster ride! There was a book case in the line queue that would come crashing down toward you when you walked past it! I loved that ride and it was always one of my favorites.
Finally! I'm so happy someone has talked about Hanna-Barbera in theme parks, and especially The Enchanted Voyage!
Although it’s no abandoned, I’m surprised you didn’t mention the Nickelodeon Universe park in The Mall Of America in Minnesota. It’s basically an indoor theme park themed around Nickelodeon shows. It’s really cool and worth checking out. Great video btw man
It really is! I live near it and it’s fun to visit it sometimes! I’d go at a good time though because the crime rate is high there and in the area. I’d probably go early in the morning, you also get in line quicker too!
As a LONG time vintage toy collector, I'm so happy you mentioned the Smurf attraction! I never really knew the full story, I'd only seen pamphlets from the park for sale here and there. Thanks so much for the info on that , and yes Damn it, I'm looking up Verve cause I can't find full episodes of Hidden Temple anywhere else! Thank you for another great installment!
Boo blasters brings back such good memories for me. Thats where I faced my fears as a young child at the phantom manor in 2002, really bonded with my siblings when shooting ghosts on the scooby doo ride, and kissed the woman I would marry for the first time in boo blasters in 2011. Kings island is amazing.
I would enjoy the Enchanted Voyage more than the other rides (ESPECIALLY the Smurfs...) I wouldn't know the Ant Hill Mob, Bristle Hound, or Lambsy however...
10:19 Maybe it’s the vhs film, but my GOD gargamel looks creepy
He looked creepy even back then.
He looks like he's going to eat you
I always learn so much from these videos. Gotta love theme park history.
It’s so interesting!
I grew up near Kings Dominion and the Hanna Barbera area was a massive part of my childhood. Smurf Mountain was life for 5 year old me. I was in my teens when they gutted it and changed it to Nickelodeon but this video gave me so many feels about my childhood.
I live just outside San Antonio TX where we have Six Flags Fiesta Texas, we had a ride that looks like it was an almost exact replica of Scooby Doo and the Haunted Castle (except it was called Scooby-Doo GhostBlasters) that closed earlier this year, due to losing the Hanna-Barbera rights, and is now being turned into what sounds like a Pirates of the Caribbean knock-off.
RikkiTikkiTavo dang, id always go into that one, hopefully the pirate one is a decent replacement when I go back
Aw what! I moved to Dallas three years ago but I used to ALWAYS ride that. Aw man that really sucks I'm so dissapointed
You should do a video on Hannah Barbara Land. It one point, Hannah Barbara had an entire theme park in the 80's when the company once ruled television. Some of the parks either got demolished or replaced with a different theme.
That was in earlier versions of the script! It was initially a much larger story but as I joke about it was becoming too much for a segment within the video.
Yeah, I thought for sure I'd see something on the old Houston theme park that was operational for a few years in the mid-80s. It's been a non-HB-themed waterpark (now called Wet-N-Wild Splashtown) ever since.
I think we'd love to see a full video on it!
Thomas Overbeck I had no idea Houston even had a HB theme park, and I think my mom is living right on top of where it used to be. Weird! Trying to find a map of the exact location so I can be sure. Thanks for that info
I first drove past the Flintstones theme park in Arizona in 1996. Even then, it didn't look worth visiting. It's only real advantage is being on the road north to the Grand Canyon, but usually the parents aren't going to listen to kids who want to pull over to visit it...or teachers and field trip bus drivers, for that matter...if the destination is the Grand Canyon.
I went to the Grand Canyon back in May and we passed by it, memories of when I was younger but it looks completely abandoned! I'm honestly surprised that it is still running
I visited it when I was 4 maybe 5 years old and remember the big dinosaur slide.
yeah, how would manmade cartoon buildings beat the natural beauty of the grand canyon? 😂
I went to the Bedrock City in Arizona in 2007, when I was 6 years old. It was completely abandoned aside from my family and a couple of workers. There was only one working ride and it was really dark and bumpy. Not to mention it was Arizona in June and nothing was air conditioned. It felt like a ghost town and was by far one of the creepiest experiences of my childhood. I will never forget it.
in that Llama scene, did he just conjure the dalai lama? i'm actually crying
I remember seeing all of the Nickelodeon themed rides at Canada's Wonderland when I was a kid, it's sad that they're gone now. I remember they even had Spongebob announce on the speakers all over the park that a Nickelodeon parade was starting. Everyone would quickly rush over to watch the parade.
I rode the Smurf ride and Phantom Theater at King’s Island when I was a kid. Yes, I’m old! Lol
ThePoketea Is that a euphemism? Lol. It was like a lower quality dark water ride (ala a Disney attraction) where you travel through a Smurf village, with the Smurfs flying kites, picking flowers, just generally having fun. You encountere a giant Gargamel and Azriel plotting to capture the Smurfs and you hear the iconic Smurf theme throughout. Imagine “It’s a Small World” with lower quality animatronic Smurfs. But when I was a kid? Magical.
10:47
That animatronic's laugh from the Phantom Theater sounds A LOT like Mark Hamill's joker laugh! 0___0
I think the most interesting abandoned/removed Hanna Barbara attraction is probably the Banana Splitsville in what used to be the former Hard Rock Amusement park in Myrtle beach which only lasted one year because the amusement park closed a year after it opened it is probably the weirdest relaunch of a Hanna Barbara show I have ever seen.
Even weirder than the Banana Splits horror movie?
No honorable mention to Great America, which had both Hannah Barbara and Nickelodeon attractions back then. :(
Raphael Marquez I was waiting for him to mention great america because I work there
Yesss
I almost included Smirf's Village, I wanted to have one from each park...honestly this topic alone could fill an entire video!
You should do a whole video on great america
Dang,How Old Are You? I’m only 8...
4:39 That's like the 2ed half of one of those Expectations vs Reality memes.
The Smurf ride was amazing, and to me as a small child, absolutely terrifying! I still miss it every time I go to KI.
I used to love the Hanna Barbara Land at Australia's Wonderland when it was around. Jabber Jaws was my fave character on the carousel there. It had the rainbow enterance too. It's a shame they stopped investing in it and let it go to ruin.
I apparently got to go on Enchanted Voyage, but I was 4 when it changed so i have no memory of it. I have fond memories of the Smurf ride, being a fan of all dark rides. Old Hanna-Barbera land was cool.
I went to the Carowinds Nickelodeon Themepark in about 2005. It's now Camp Snoopy. I was a fan of Nickelodeon, however, I like the Snoopy theme better because it showed Cedar Point really spent good money trying to improve it. With the Nick rides, they pretty much got a coat of paint and new signage and that's all. They were going to build a Nick themepark in New Orleans after Katrina but that fell through.
Spooty Spin was my FAVOURITE dreamworld ride ❤️
Over spring break I went to Arizona with my family and I actually saw the flinstones campsite and I was so confused until I looked up some videos.
I LOVED JIMMY NEUTRON'S NICKTOON BLAST SO MUCH! It's pretty much the best Version of this Ride!
I wish I'd gotten to ride it... That was one of my favorite shows plus I loved all of those classic Nicktoons. :(
@@RedVelvetyJess I RODE IT A FEW TIMES AND I MISS IT SO MUCH!!!! To be, that Version is the Best Version of the Ride!
Rest in pieces, Jimmy (Sexy) Neutron
I remember going to King's Island the times it was themed for Hanna-Barbera and Nickelodeon, including the Scooby-Doo dark ride, which I found terrifying then, but would probably love now as much as I love its replacement.
The dark ride was the first ride I rode
I was around 8 or 9 when the theming ended since im a 2002 baby. I fo still remember the SpongeBob 4D ride and the Scooby Doo dark ride. The Scooby ride is still open but the blasters barely work and I feel within the decade itll be torn down. I vaguely remember a SpongeBob themed water area in the kids area. The Avatar ride as well. The waterlog ride near The Diamondback was a Thornsberry ride. One was Danny Fantom too
I remember making my own spongebob in the jimmy neutron gift shop when I was six, that was one of my favorite toys as a kid that I don’t think I could ever forget.
Your videos are definitely my favorite of anyone on theme park tube. So informative and well researched. Keep up the great work!
yea I agree! He should keep up the good work because of the videos he’s making.
my mom has a picture of herself at the Flinstones park when she was a kid. The SD one i may add lol.
My home park is Canadas wonderland.. as a 90s kid I loved Hanna Barbera shows so going to the park to see all my favorite characters was awesome. Flash to now as I take my 6 year old son to the park to see snoopy land I feel like hes getting ripped off a bit. Yes the rides are fun and he had a blast but I cant help but feel like some of the magic is gone because he has no idea who snoopy is. I wish they would have bought the rights to something kids today know
Same! Except my kids do know who snoopy is, because of the new movie...
I remember the HB ride and knew it was the same as the old Universal ride, but couldn't figure out why!
Yes, I too grew up with H.B.
Remember the 4D sponge bob tho?
I went to The Flintstones thing in Chilliwack, BC, Canada in the summer of 1977 with my parents! I was 5 years old. I remember riding the row boats with them. I still have a few souvenirs; ashtray, 2 postcards and a Dino bank!
As a kid we went to the Bedrock park in SD and it’s been a running joke in the family ever since. The memory that sticks out the most was the train that passed thru “Dinosaur Ridge” with was literally a tench with plastic toy dinosaurs sitting on both sides of the train.
Well... I'm here because I loved Nickelodeon AND Cartoon Network both in the 90's. I watched and loved EVERYTHING except the live action shows. :) I would get up, watch Powerpuff Girls or Tiny Toon Adventures, tune in to Rugrats for lunch or maybe Doug, watch Scooby Doo or Aaahhh!!! Real Monsters with dinner and then watch a little Owl Jolsen or Flintstones before bed just about every day. XD
I liked CN more, but Nick was okay. I had a few favorite shows from Nick, but CN had the most out of my favorite shows because of the Hanna-Barbera library.
I’m glad i got a chance to see KI’s Hanna Barbara and Nick Universe. I miss it! Im surprised you didn’t add Scooby’s Ghoster Coaster as an honorable mention of rides.
It's sad to see the Flintstone Park in South Dakota is go and become just a regular campground. I've been going to it since I was six years old after descovering it when I was five years old and we use it to have somewhere to stay on our Crazy Horse Trip every year.
I wish they had a huge theme park for all the good cartoons and shows. Including hanna Barbara, cartoon network, and the 90s nick classics. Kinda like an awesome nostalgia land for people
Yassssss thank you for another amazing video
Aww! You were so cute! Great video as always.
5:05 This looks like an absolute nightmare to crawl through. I wouldn't go in there for a million bucks.
I went to the South Dakota location when I was younger, and man, it was incredibly cheesy. It had a really unsettling ghost town vibe.
SnortoBorto OwO I currently live in South Dakota now-my family’s stationed at the Air Force base here, and man, most of South Dakota has a ghost town vibe. It’s definitely interesting here
My dad took me to dino town in Kelowna (it was the one with the big pink dino sign) near its death and... my dad being himself decided to take 6 year old me into the back of the stage where we were immediately kicked out by VERY pissed off staff that were half dressed as dinosaurs.... I had blocked this event from my memory until today..
anyways it was SO cheezy, I could tell even as a young kid but this was at the end of its life so I'm sure in its heyday it had more to do, like I dont even remember there being any rides when I went.
My family and I went to South Dakota about four years ago and one of our hotels was right across from Bedrock City. We actually went to the gift shop for it, but we didn't actually go in the park as it was expensive (I'm talking around $20 per person) and it didn't look like it was maintained very well. It closed about a month or so after we finished our tip.
I remember the smurfs attraction. When I went to visit my grandparents in Canada we went to Canada's Wonderland...the Gargamal scenes gave me nightmares. Although I have to admit a pang of sadness went through me when I went back as a teenager and all those rides I had enjoyed as a child in the Hannah Barbara section of the park were gone.
I remember the stuff at King's Island! Great memories. Thank you for making this!
I love this video 😍😍 keep making these longer videos 💪🏻💪🏻
Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoy them!
Ah man, I remember first going to universal years ago and was so excited to go on the jimmy neutron ride and I remember loving it. So sad nickelodeon doesn't have the same magic anymore
As someone who lives in Vancouver, the way you say Chilliwack is just hilarious.
I have some of the best memories from Hanna Barbara land & Nickelodeon land at Carowinds! There were so many awesome themed rides (the Nickelodeon water coaster, smurf island, etc) This video really took me back!
Was waiting to see Kings Island! I miss the Scooby Doo ride so much. Boo Blasters isn't as good. You can tell that they repurposed a lot of the things from Scooby Doo.
It was so disappointing going back to King's Island years ago and seeing all the fun Nickelodeon theming changed to a boring Peanuts cover up. Don't get wrong the Peanuts are great but it just seems like they didn't even try. The log ride was probably the biggest disappointment to me.
The Runaway Reptar change was the most disappointing to me. The whole theme of the area was just so magical as a kid with all the giant statues.
Yeah, it feels like it lost a lot of the passion and fun after the change...
I know right I remember going to kings island when they had the Nickelodeon stuff but to see it being turned into dumb peanuts breaks my heart 💔
Kings island was so cool to go to as a kid when it had scooby doo and spongebob. The scooby doo haunted ride was my favorite. I remember when they changed it to boo blasters. You can still tell it was scooby doo by the art but they replaced the heads of the animontronics
I remember the Flintstones attraction in Arizona on my way to Grand Canyon 21 years ago. I had no idea a theme park was built on it. Thanks for the lecture, Yesterworld!
Llama, llama llama llama llama.
You're gonna do Australia's Wonderland? Your finally doing a place i've been to. Looking foward to that one.
I went on the Scooby Doo ride at Kings Island as a kid and loved it
Grew up with Kings Dominion and even worked there. I think they had Boulder Bumpers as well. To me the best Hanna Barbara item will always be Yogi's Cave. "The ranger's house is all a-kilter, cause Yogi helped the ranger build her."
I literally sang the part about the ranger's house to the tune of the Enchanted Voyage song... it fits perfectly... 0_0
Boo blasters is bad the guns never work. Since cedar fair took over they havnt not updated the ride (other than a coat of paint when they took over to get rid of hannah Barbara and Nickelodeon characters) goes for alot of rides in the park they dont live up to how it was when paramount owned it. But fun fact there was a scene in scooby doo where shaggy was running around. That is still there they just gave him a bad haircut and Hawaiian shirt
I’m surprised you didn’t talk about the 4-d spongebob show in Six flats New Orleans. It was a lot like the one over in the nick hotel however it closed due to the hurricane
I almost included it, but it’s been so well covered already. Didn’t think I could really add anything.
I'm pretty sure it was the exact same one as the nick hotel actually. Paramount Parks (now Cedar Fair parks) also had it. I'm sure there were other parks too.
So are we going skip over Jon on snow said the six flats not six flags
So are we going skip over Jon on snow said the six flats not six flags
6 Flags Great Adventure had it too (or at least a Version of it)
Omg this brought back some forgotten childhood memories, I remember going on that Jimmy Neutron ride and taking a photo in front of Spongebob's house in line.
I just love it how you put abandoned or torn down rides in the title, it just gives the nostalgia of the rides.
I never knew bedrock city was real 😂
Aww, was hoping Hanna-Barbera's Marineland would've got an honorable mention.
Marineland?
I’m so happy you mentioned the Bedrock City in Chilliwack! I remember hearing my mom talk about how much she loved it when she was a kid and I remember going to that same one when it was changed to DinoTown. Honestly, I’ve probably still got the stamp set I got from DinoTown.
I live right next to Kings Island and would always go as a kid. Seeing all of these old Nick rides gives me chills! I miss those days...
I saw the remains of the South Dakota Bedrock Park while passing by South Dakota on our families way back from vacation in Washington state in 2011 and my Step-Dad brought up how he and my step brother went there years ago and weren't impressed
There’s a spinning cart rollercoaster ride also named “Pandamonium” at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, not themed after Kung Fu Panda though.
Lawsuit?
I went to the Arizona Flintstone’s park as a kid. The costume character’s freaked me out, the were playing the live action movie on every screen, and have memories of playing “Ticket to Ride” playing on the train ride but that have been me singing it.
Omg King's Island was MY PLACE growing up!! Thank you for reminding me. 💛
dang, that phantom manor ride looks terrifying. i was at kings island in june and ride boo blasters, it’s newest replacement, and it kinda sucked
Great video! Thanks for incorporating a couple clips from my videos too, and for highlighting some under-appreciated Kings Island rides.
I had a couple quick minor corrections. Nothing major, but worth noting:
9:32 - Where did you get the $300 million value for Kings Island from? The park was built at a cost of $29 million in 1972, which is still only ~$176 million adjusted for inflation
10:50 - You say Phantom Manor, but I'm sure that was just a slip and you meant to say Phantom Theater
12:46 - You say Boulder Bumpers was a day-one attraction at Kings Island in 1983, but Kings Island opened in 1972 and Boulder Bumpers in 1977. A bit later, you mentioned it was transformed into Jimmy Neutron's Atom Blasters with Nickelodeon Central. That didn't actually happen until Nickelodeon Universe, which was a replacement of Hanna-Barbera Land and Nickelodeon Central in 2006. The picture of Joe Cool Dodgem School is also Cedar Point's version, but the two do look very similar.
Again, nothing major, but wanted to clarify a few facts. Thanks again for the great video!
Edit - Oops, one more... 14:04, you mentioned Runaway Reptar became Snoopy vs. Red Baron. It actually became Flying Ace Aerial Chase - Snoopy vs. Red Baron is a very small Zamperla flat-ride, which was previously Blue's Skdioo (and Dick Dastardly's Biplanes before that).
First of all, so glad you enjoyed the video! I admit, outside Disney and Universal I am really out of my element, but I'm using this as a lesson for the future.
1. As far as where I got the $300 million value, though in hindsight I see how I should have phrased it differently, I was referring to the current estimation of the parks investments.
2. Yup you are absolutely right, for some reason I read "Phantom Theatre" as "Phantom Manor" during my VO, I think I had Disney too much on my brain as I have it correctly written in the script.
3. I really don't have an excuse for this, I thought I had the information right but evidently I did not :(
4. Now I'm just embarrassed....
Yesterworld Entertainment No worries, none of these are super drastic or anything. And again, the video is still great. If/When you next do a video with anything Kings Island, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want someone to proofread, or if you need any material :)
How did I not get to go to the Jimmy Neutron ride!? I could have LIVED in that gift shop.
The Arizona one was bought out by a bird sanctuary. They sometimes let people tour the place as most of the stuff is still there as of 2020
wait the flinstones was more for ADULTS? well damn
You grew up with Fleenstones too?
Grand dad? Fleenstones?
7 Grande Dád
I had no idea Bedrock City existed!! That’s so crazy that they had a real park for Flintstones!! I wish I could’ve seen it in person :(
Great video as always!!
I’m 25 and that llama bit still made me smile lmao
5:15 - You might want to say "U.S. locations" instead of "North America." Canada is part of North America.
Very true, will keep in mind for future videos!
Do a video on Wonderland Sydney.
That was actually part of this video, but I ended up going with another angle. Maybe I'll use it for a standalone video!
i went to the bedrock city in south dakota in the 90s and loved when you could ride around in a car drven by a park employee. it was really cool to see the houses and characters
I remember driving out around 45 minutes out from Langley to Chilliwack as a kid and was so hyped to go to Dino Town. So when it closed in 2010 I literally was devastated.
I;m now 14 and I still remember those childhood memories lol

chiefs fan 6873 I want to go check it now. I live right outside of Custer and find stuff like that fascinating.
im from a town near chilliwack (where the second exhibit is) and oh lord that might be the worst pronunciation of the towns name ive ever heard
My parents met back in the eighties where they both worked in Hanna Barbarra Land near Dallas. Always had a good place in my heart :)
Love the new animations with movie footage, keep it up man
I think you made a slight error at @6:32. You stated that The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera closed in 2012 when it actually closed in 2002. Must've been a slip of the tongue. Another great video otherwise!!!
You are 100% correct, for some reason I'm the worst at correctly reading dates off script!
Never experienced the World of Hanna-Barbara ride those years ago, but Nicktoons was pretty good.
Wasn't there a saying that Don Bluth got involved with the animation of this Hanna-Barbara ride?
I remember going to the “Pipeline Plunge” on the Gold Coast when I was like 4 or 5, there was also a Rugrats themed castle jungle gym sort of thing where u could shoot foam balls at each other from these little cannon things, at least that’s what I remember.
This is the first time I've seen Dollywood mentioned! You should totally do a video on weird theme parks. Dollywood is amazing but certainly a strange theme!
