Thank you Jacob! I was hoping you would make it to Valleyfair. I worked there in 1980 and 1981 (graduated in '82). Fond memories. The carousel was built in 1925 for the Excelsior amusement park, closed in 1973. Barely remember much from that, but I did ride it as a young child. So did my father with his dad. I only live about 15 minutes from Valleyfair....I should go back, maybe next summer for the memories. Sappy but true.

Great video, Jacob. Grave Digger is one of the most popular monster trucks out there. Odds are most likely those monster trucks (not the ride trucks) are actual trucks that are retired from competition, but make great display trucks as they are. Grave Digger has its 40th anniversary this year, having debuted in 1982 with Dennis Anderson until he sold the operation to the U.S. Hot Rod Association, and now owned by Feld Entertainment.

World's of Fun is a Cedar Fair park in K.C., Mo. I had the best time there near Halloween around 2010. Great fog machines and lots of little added things to keep you entertained while waiting in line, and while walking through the park. I went through a Haunted house, the 3-D Hall of Carnivorous Clowns, took a tour through Camp GonnaGetchuWithaHatchet, and lots of fun stuff. Around dark, of course, is when the action really picked up. I hope I get to see a video of you at World's of Fun some day. Halloween time would just make it that much better! Thank you so much for taking me places I can't go to myself!

@superbadgeethan8335 Жыл бұрын

The Halloween event at Kings Dominion in VA is really good! They also do a Christmas event at that park. Busch Gardens does a Christmas and Halloween event too, but KD's Halloween is better. I think Jen would enjoy both if she's into either. I'd check the website to confirm. It used to be huge and very popular before 2020. Of course, you can always check out some old KZfaq vids that covered the event to get a feel.

You should definitely go check out the Gravedigger roadside attraction called Diggers Dungeon in Powells Point N.C. You can visit the garage where they build the trucks, they have a awesome gift shop, monster truck rides, a old fashioned themed diner. This is very close to the Outer Banks. This would make a awesome stop in route to go visit the Wright Brothers Memorial in Kitty Hawk N.C. I would love to see you cover these places.

Woodstock is Snoopy's best friend so it's one bird. However he does have a sibling that he was with when the character was first introduced in the comic strip. Woodstock also has several bird friends which all look the same as he does. His main friends are Bill, Conrad, Olivier and Harriet. I'm guessing the fountain was him and some friends. Fun fact though...No one knows what kind of bird he is...even Woodstock doesn't know.

The lore surrounding pink lemonade stems from a late 19th century circus. Apparently, the lemonade stand ran out of water to make more lemonade and grabbed the first water they could get which was a wash bin for clown clothing which had turned pink from the red clothing. The batch of lemonade came out pink, and, thus, pink lemonade was born. It was an immediate hit. Modern pink lemonade merely has food coloring added.
