I’ve been begging you for three years to see this custom “Masterpiece” created mostly in-house with some help from one of Bill Tracey’s old company guys. Knobels Ahem’ “borrowed” heavily from this ride in many, many ways. And just 5he loving care the third generation of park owners take with this ride is outstanding! I rode it 35 years ago, and it is STILL THE BEST Darkride in the country!

Spent many summer vacations there. One time I took a raft over the waves and laid back relaxing in the rocking sea. I dozed off and was awoken by the distant sound of a life guard's whistle. I had drifted way the hell off shore and couldn't swim. I slowly rode the waves back in as I paddled by hand. Scary. My knees were knocking when I hit the beach. I was so far out the people were specks.

Jacob's new experiences with regional cuisines are just one more reason his vlogs are so entertaining and educational. Someday when he retires from traveling, there are a plethora of books begging for him to write them: a nationwide gastronomic miscellaney, a listing of the funniest and wisest "Jacob-isms," an account of mistakes and foibles, and I'm sure a long list of other ideas will arise. I'd buy them! What do you think, everybody?

East Jacob my friend, I once told you before the machine will go either 10/15/20 times on a weak grab but on the 10th after you’ve paid the retail price for the item the claw will go back to full strength mode, if you really want to win a price keep a watch on how many people have put money in and lost if you time it right you will be the winner and the machine will have gotten paid in full while it only cost you $1, Keep up the amazing content my days are always better after seeing good videos from you ,,, Thanks again my friend

Love this video, I was there last week. I have been coming here every summer for my whole life (57 now). Gus and Gus is locally famous for their food, especially cheesesteak and burgers. The fries are made from potatoes they put right in a slicer. The vinegar is for the fries, a long standing tradition. A few doors down is Thrasher’s fries, very locally famous and lots of bottles of vinegar there. I have not been on the haunted house ride in years, that was a blast from the past. I see that they have changed some of the ride to be scarier, that’s fun.

My favorite was always the little boats that go around the mermaid. If you are ever in the area again it might be fun to check out the Sea Witch festival at the end of October.

I used to know a guy who serviced the claw machines and he was an expert at positioning the stuffed animals in a way that locked them together. There was a couple I knew whose hobby it was to work the animals loose until they loosened the lock and would end up with half the animals exposed enough to grab. I don't want to know how much money they spent...

Newer machines are programmed to auto release the claw slightly to drop whatever item you are grabbing. Every ~20 plays the claw will actually stay closed to hold the item.

Hi Carpet Bagger. The “Wack and Win “ game, is a game of skill, not strength. You must hit the sensor box directly into the center of the bullseye in order to win. There is a sensor box inside of the fuzzy mallet that must connect to the very center of the game in order for you to win.
