      I want to compliment her parents. I think the dad and older sister were sitting in the sit right behind them. The whole family was having a wonderful time. That's how to raise your children properly......YOU PUT THEM ON A ROLLER-COASTER AS SOON AS THEY CAN WALK!!!!!! So Well Done and BRAVO to those Parents. Love, Love, Love that scene.

    Thank you Jacob for your wonderfully informative and entertaining videos! This one ...well,made me smile and laugh, and wish my dad was around still. He's with God and he's an angel now. He would have LOVED those trains!! He would've been in there for HOURS talking with anyone about those trains, LOL!! Again, Thank You for you're informative and fun videos!!!! As a retired truck driver, I miss the open road, and watching your videos helps keep me in touch with just another one of my favorite things! Take care out there, and be safe, and take great care of Jenny, she's adorable!! God Bless you both!! Maybe someday we'll meet!! God Bless You and take care out there!! Keep the greasy side down and the rubber on the ground good buddy!!

    My 5 year old son loves this place. I love that it’s cheap, you can stay all day and even bring in your own food and drink. I kept saying “oh man, I hope you’re ready for whiplash” the rides can be pretty harsh 😂😂

    That train ride looked soo relaxing. Back in the mid to late 90's Kennywood Park had a version of The Bomber, it was called The Roll-O-Plane. After awhile the one at Kennywood would go from an vertical position to a horizontal position.

      The kid stated he was a comedian. Maybe it was part of his skit. Either way, he definitely received some free advertising. Jacob didn't seem to mind so I think that's all that should matter.

    Had the longest, wildest Scrambler ride here. The guy kept throttling it from sedate to maxed out and we went about ten minutes!
    The Swiss Toboggan is certainly unique as it is the only permanent installation still in operation.

    I love taking my son there. Very family affordable. They have different price packages. Worst your gonna pay is $28 a person. Covers everything in the park. I was told the owner made this for families to have fun. Not in it for the money. Best part is, if no line to get on something, they will let you stay on the ride.

    The Chance Toboggan is more of a torture device than a roller coaster. More parks should have a wooden junior coaster for the whole family. That was cool that you got a behind-the-scenes tour of the railroad. Fun little park. THANKS!

    the one carnie ride they call (The swiss Toboggan) is a classic 60's wow never thought i'd see another like it in my life not in 2024 im glad to see this one is being preserved for the next generation looks like they revamped it a bit but still the same idea when i was growing up in the 70's i seen this same ride at visiting Carnivals through my town of Houston, Texas it was even in a defunct amusement park hear in Houston, Texas called Astroworld at one time they dressed up the pipe to look like a tree trunk and they called the ride the swamp buggy they even at one time had water beneath it that was the swamp lol good times here in Houston, Texas back in the 70's 😊 cheers to ya Carpetbagger and your family God Bless!

    That Swiss Toboggan was remarkably similar to a ride at Santa's Village in Illinois when I was a kid. Except that it had a rocket/outer space theme to it. Brought back some memories in any case. That little girl that rode behind you on the Meteor was so cute. She looked like she just fell off a charm bracelet. ONE MORE TIME! ONE MORE TIME! ONE MORE TIME!😂😂😂😂😂😂

The employees there clearly love their jobs. the chants of "One more time, One more Time....." from the patrons says it all! Thank you Jacob for the great videos My friends and I enjoy them every time one is posted.

    It’s a shame so many of the family parks closed in the 80s and 90s. These used to be all over the place. I remember going to 5 of these kind of parks when I was young scattered around a few nearby towns. It’s awesome they let you stay on the rides and give you some extra value for your ticket.
