    I remember riding the lift with my mom in 1981. You just jumped off when the guy told you to as it went around the curve. I was terrified.

      What did the amusment park look like when it was closed but all the buildings were still there and the rides. And what did the chairlift path look like at that time

    Hi hello, granddaughter of the owner of fun mountain here. Fun mountain park was centered on the concrete areas at the base of the chair lift. The chair lift was just one of the rides. There was a tiny little train attraction at the very top but I don’t remember it much. The golf course was also part of fun mountain. In it’s Hey Day it was booming with a slingshot, yo-yo swings, scrambler, bumper boats and cars, an arcade. It just couldn’t compete with Dollywood. Now I believe the chairs are down but I can’t remember. A bajillion people hold tiny percentages of the ownership and no one can agree on what to do with the land... so there she sits. Hopefully one day we get an awesome offer. In the meantime I’m hoping to do something with it.

      I used to work at Fun Mountain when I was 12 and I'm actually trying to research that train attraction. I don't remember it ever being there when Fun Mountain was open. Do you know where I can find a ride list or anything to confirm it was actually a part of Fun Mountain?

    • @blindcheatah
      @blindcheatah 4 роки тому

      The 2 attractions went hand in hand. They were owned by the same person, Brownlee Reagan and managed by my favorite manager ever, Will Watson. As you can tell I know alot about Gatlinburg Amusement Park aka Fun Mountain. I am one of the original employees who worked there from April of 1995 until late July of 1998. The mini golf course was called Ted E Bear Falls.

    @petrberanek4230 6 років тому +2

    Fun Mountain amusement park was not on top of that mountain. See the big empty space near chairlift in background, exactly at 2:34, which look like a parking lot? There was whole Fun Mountain amusement park, closed 2000, demolished 2008.

  • @julianhudson7811

    Incase you guys in the comments are wondering, the chairlift is a double chair manufactured by riblet.

    Jacob sometimes you about give me a heart attack with your risk taking! Climbing around in the dark , dangerous areas, all alone! Not trying to sound like "Dear Old Mom " here , but you make me think about my son trying all this crazy stuff! Love your videos and right now you're in my FAVORITE area in the world, but BE CAREFUL!!!!! You're much more attentive to danger while Anna is with you! I suggest you take her EVERYWHERE!

    BTW, I've been meaning to ask you. That music is played by your brother, right? Do you have any idea what he uses to record it? The sound is nice and clean so I'm thinking it's gotta be something decent.
