This is fantastic. For those of us who are no longer able to get around as much as we'd like, it's a chance to see something really special as if we were really there. Thank you.

The babies on the mouse ride with you at the end were adorable!

Gotta love the 'Stock Laugh' track from Vincent Price in the end of Thriller. Its used several times in the first dark ride.

Riding the old mill ride is like getting on it’s a small world you regret it about halfway through the ride.

In the Flying Witch, the recording says, "Morons, they're everywhere. They just don't know they're morons". I laugh every time I've gone on that dark ride.🤣

The Flying Witch exterior. Unbelievable!! For a '70s or '80s dark ride, it looks beautiful. Who's the artist that created that exterior? Also, he should get TONS of recognition. Glad you love those dark rides Jake!

"I thought we were on a Zombie ride, but now we're on Space Mountain" LOL

WOW!!! I grew up going here every season since I was a toddler, so happy that you came to visit !! ❤️🤩

Anyone else glad when he uploads his videos

Dog-gonne Jacob, I wish I knew ahead of time you were going to be here, I'm only about 10 miles from Playland. Lunch would have been on me

This ride is suitable for miners! Thanks for talking us on the trip with you, Carpetbagger!

Wow that pony race ride is very old school, I got to ride the one at Cedar Point it is very cool.

Jacob is out there taking the road trip we have all been saying we're going to take one day. I really appreciate what you do. Your videos are such a relaxing treat after a long, loud, hectic day at work. I discovered your channel during the pandemic and it has really been a pleasure exploring the country through you vicariously. One love, one heart, Carpetbagger!

You're the greatest content creator ever!! I've been too broke and way too tired to travel the last few years but I can "visit" all these amazing places through your videos. Please keep up your awesome work! Cheers!!

One of my favorite places, here in NY. I've been going since I was a kid but haven't gone this year. It was so much fun to see you enjoy it. Thanks for sharing!

I can't handle the kids on the Old Mill ride saying "THOSE LIGHTS ARE BUSSIN" smh

This is my kind of amusement park. I so enjoy the variety. I'm not into all the roller coasters trying to out-do each other. This is true amusement.

The dark rides in this place are impressive.

I can't believe you did not just one of my childhood parks, but TWO! Like, holy hell this is awesome. There was a few good rides here, and it was a small little park for me to enjoy. I hope you had a GREAT time!

I love when you go to these vintage-ish like theme/amusement parks. :)

Oh man. The memories I have of Playland. The old mill used to be way darker. Had real wood boats that always leaked.

Hey Jacob! I love your videos. You should come to upstate NY! There is six flags Darien lake, Niagra falls, and the corning museum of glass.

Nothing like an old school dark ride! A old school drive-in would be a strong second. Brings me back to a more innocent time. Born 1964, great time

wow so glad you liked playland!!i have been coming here my whole life.in the zombie castle that tunnel with the lights used to be a turning barrel you would ride through. the flying witch was always a more favorite over zombie castle but both are amazing dark rides.i also have to ride the derby horses everytime i go to playland an absolute must!! thank you for coming to our childhood home of playland!!

The last Dark ride was the best. it had a story and a theme. The two first just seemed they had put in whatever seemed “scary”.

welcome to my neck of the woods! i have a friend at Playland and he is the graphic designer for them! glad you had fun!

That "I will destroy you!" in the Flying Witch sounded super familiar but I can't quite place it. They also used the Vincent Price laugh from the end of Thriller and a soundbite of Bender from Futurama saying "I'm boned" XD had to rewind a few times to make sure I'd actually heard that voice right 'cause I couldn't believe it at first, but it's definitely him

The Flying Witch was really cool, probably in the Top 3 Dark Rides so far ! Really cool park !!

I grew up going to this park. I'm super hype that I've made a suggestion that he went to. 🙃🙃😁😁

I liked The Old Mill dark ride. The flashing tunnel almost reminds me of Maelstrom in EPCOT, before it became Frozen the ride. Amazing that the Dragon Coaster has survived since the 1920’s.

So cool! We as a family use to go to playland every yr!

That roller coaster at 13:52 is awesome! I've never seen one like it. Very cool!

Rye Playland was the first amusement park that I went to as a child. I loved it so much!!!! Thank you for making this video!!!

That dark ride was so cool thanks Jacob for sharing

omg i lived in PlayLand as a Kid me and family would go every other weekend this brings back so many memories i have to go back one day haven't been to PlayLand in over 20 yrs can't believe the Flying Witch is still there and looks the same unbelievable

The first dark ride in this video the outside looked like an Ed Hardy painting

This was so neat. My favorite thing was the horse derby carousel 🎠🎠🎠

HOLY CRAP this is in my hometown! i used to go here all the time when i was little and it makes me so happy to see you visit!

Those dark rides were epic I want to ride them so bad! If only they made t-shirts/merch for their dark rides, those shirts would definitely sell out! Thanks for sharing.

Omg the Derby Racer, my friend’s amusement park in Blackpool has one of these, they’re incredible

After all my years of living in ny ive never been here! Now I really have to go check this out!!

Never heard of this place but cool!

I used to go here every summer but haven't gone since the pandemic. Watching this makes me so happy! The Thunderbolt was one of my favorite rides because of the music haha

This made me so happy that you made it to Playland. It really is my favorite park since I have been going to it my whole life. We got our video up about it seven months ago and have been waiting for years for you to make it there. It was worth the wait.

I think I like the older style parks better than the newer ones. The rides are more interesting. The derby horse race was awesome! The view from the wooden coaster was great! And the gorgeous flowers and garden style welcome sign!

Omg, Playland! So happy you came here, I used to come here as a child, have one of my earliest memories of hiding my face in my grandfather's shoulder while we passed the haunted house because I was scared. My mother would go here with her grandparents yearly - such an interesting place!

Haunted ride 😊 I loved it. Reminds me of Coney Island late 70s early 80s. Pizza, funnel cakes and Corn Dogs. Absolutely the best times 😍

I thought that read “This Video Contains Flashing Guys”.

"OH, a lady with her bra!!" 🤣🤣🤣

The Dragon rollercoaster looked fun, but it sounded terrifying!! Also, more selfie views on the rides 😁

You're finally in my area!! Wish I'd known...would have loved to meet you. You missed the log flume though.

I remember I went to this exact amusement park when I was 7, that stage at the end, I danced on that stage, the performers come choose people from the audience… I loved it

What fantastic dark rides! I love when you do the amusement parks. I love to see different parks to get ideas on where to travel to. I can never say it enough,another great video!!

Awesome! I always love your dark ride discoveries Jacob!

I remember riding these over 40yrs ago.

So awesome that you were there! One of my favorite places… fun fact the Mariah Carey fantasy video was also filmed there!

Nice old park - descendant of Coney Island and Luna Park

I know this place. This channel is a window to the outside for those of us who no longer may travel due to restrictions.

Love love love Playland! The Derby Racer is amazing.

The Dark ride was pretty cool. Thanks for sharing your theme park experience with us.

Wow you were just a hour away from the Germ. Next stop LegoLand I bet.

It’s a real shame that so many of Zombie Castle’s effects are broken. I was hoping maybe over the pandemic they would go in and fix things, but it seems that didn’t happen. It’s been this way for years.

This place is unbelievable.So Grateful Its Still around

Currently locked down in a fucked up country. Can’t visit theme parks w/o a mask, an appointment, and a negative covid test. So thanks for sharing Carpetbagger. I salute you and your kick ass muttonchops.

You ever thought about going to the Enchanted Forest in Oregon? An amazing little theme park that was basically built all by one family.

Really appreciate your videos, Jacob! Thanks for all your years of posting and achieving over 400K subs! And, thank you for consistently enabling captions.

Love watching these...I have vertigo so I can't get on roller coasters.please keep it up !!

Yay! Love your videos! Excited to see the rides🌈🤗❤️

I've had mobility issues since 2009 and would not be able to manage getting out to an amusement park, or a museum, or a historical site.... But through you, I can. Thank you for showing us the fun and interesting parts of the contiguous United States. Heard on the Flying Witch 🧹 dark ride: "The morons are all around us... They just don't know they're morons... " (parody of the line in " The Sixth Sense" lol) And Vincent Price's chilling evil laugh! Thank you, Jacob 😊

I grew up in a house that is right at the edge of the Playland parking lot. Back in the 70s you could freely walk through the park during the off season. We would walk through the Old Mill when the water was drained out and scare ourselves silly. Back then there were paper mache gnomes, monsters snd dragons in there. I once climbed to the top of the Dragon Coaster lift hill. Fortunately, no one saw me up there. My buddy and I used to go to the workshop that was in the upper floor of the skating rink and look at the rides and monsters from the dark rides they were currently working on. I remember seeing a bumper car flipped over on its side and marveling how the shaft of the drive motor was stationary and the body of the motor, had a tire wrapped around it, would spin around the stationary shaft. That same friend and I used to actually STAND while riding the Dragon Coaster. The lap constraints were that loose. We had to duck when we approached the head chopper. That insanity ended when an operator, an older gentleman ordered us to stay seated in the car when the train emptied out. He chewed us out a little for our foolishness and banned us from the coaster for the rest of the day. We agreed that he was right and never did that again. What great memories! Today I have a Whip car in my living room that I’m restoring, and I own the original Peppy the Musical Clown coin-op marionette that I used to love as a little boy in the early 60s. I guess when you grow up right next to an amusement park, you develop a lifelong deep love for them.

Loved The Vincent Price Laugh Track

Nice!

I love your videos

Ahaha those kids on the rollercoaster, at least they were brave enough to give it a go, I don't think I'd dare! This place looks fantastic, I hope I can go on that old whip-around ride one day, always love seeing a traditional/wacky carousel too. Nice vlog CB! :D

I'm in LOVE with your vids! i feel like I'm traveling and riding with you! thank you Jacob! your Awesome! 😁🥰❤

👍👍👍😁😁 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸

The dark rides are the perfect primer for everyone whose ready for Halloween!

So Happy You We’re Able To Come To Westchester And Visit PlayLand…During The Sixties When I Was Young There Were So Many Iconic Attractions The Fun House, Magic Carpet And Boom A Rang…They All Were Destroyed By A Fire…They Had A Roller Coaster Called The Airplane Opened In The Late Twenties…It Was A Legend…Even Though PlayLand Has Changed Through Out The Years It Is Our Little Gem On The Sound Runned My The County Of Westchester♥️💯 They Had A Really Scary Dark Ride Called The Laff In The Dark…

Great Dark Rides! Enjoyed this park…Thanks Jacob!

I can't believe The Flying Witch got closed down. It was my favorite

That's a nice park! I've never seen a carousel move that fast! Wow! Thank you for sharing! Stay safe out there!

Loved the dark rides but also loved the slick shift from your watching the horse race carousel to your actual view from being on it 🎠💖

I grew up going to Playland. I now live in Savannah, GA and it’s great to see it again, since it was closed last year and I never made it before I left for Georgia. Excellent park with countless memories attached.

Cool! Don't think we ever made it there when I was a kid. We did go to Storytown USA and Dutch Wonderland. So glad something kitschy and cool is still left.

I love the flying witch. Lots of hills

Omg, play land reminds me of my childhood! I remember back in 2005 or 06, a little boy got killed in the Ye Old mill ride. He git of the boat and fell under the boat😢. Man I love to see get on the roller coasters! Lol😂

Welcome back to Westchester county!! Great stuff as always. About the Gnome ride, the reason you can't ride alone is that a few years ago a child died on the ride (even though it was a different themed ride.) when they rode alone and drowned.

that sky skater ride is the exact same model they have on top of the stratosphere in las vegas! its not so scary when it's not hanging over the edge of 1000ft+ building!

Finally, Jacob doing roller coasters.

EY first Adventureland Now rye playland. one of my favorite memorable amusement parks. thats cool since it took you all the way here to longisland and then NY playland park since im like an hour away from there. makes me wanna go back now. lol

I don’t love roller coasters but I could handle the one at the beginning of the video 😹

I'm almost positive that after the guy tipping his whole head and hat it says "I see morons they just don't know they are morons" Hahaha That's awesome!!

Another win! Thanks CarpetBagger!

This place is awesome. Been going since I was a kid.

Memories of my childhood!

The laugh used in The Flying Witch is Vincent Price from the Thriller track.

What fab dark rides! Thanks for sharing.

I miss going to Playland every summer as a kid. Thank you for giving me some kind of joy in one video. I need to go back asap

Love Playland! Always fun! :)

Loved this as usual ❤. Thank you!
