I need to experience the front!

Thanks man! I hope we see some good things out of this park soon… especially in the years to come now that the merger has gone through.

@@TAM94114 Noooo! Guess I’m not getting that one. I did like the purple one I showed after though… my uni’s colours are purple and white haha.

@@AdventuresWithParker there ya go! much better match and not prevent you from being allowed back into Ontario with the other one.

💯💯💯

Don’t be nasty 🤣

I know!!! I didn't realize there was still more to come haha.

Nice!!! I can’t say for sure yet, but I’m planning on it. Hopefully I’ll see you there 😁

@@AdventuresWithParkerthat would be so awesome!!!

@@AdventuresWithParker I shoud have mentioned the ACE event lands on Saturday the 14th lol

There are so many parks that I need to get back to, but YES St Louis is definitely one I want to return to before too long.

@@RollerCoasterGuy-sg9lw September 2 of last year!

@@BossSuperior201 I’m usually a huge fan of these smaller parks! I love places like Knoebels, Waldameer, Indiana Beach, etc. I was hoping this place would have a similar vibe, and although the bones are there, the issues I talked about in the video ultimately led to my disappointment. But as I’ve said, I’m absolutely willing to give it a second chance one day. I think the thing you have to understand about my Vlog & Review videos is that they’re based on my personal experiences. This is the only time I’ve ever been to this park, and I’m fully aware that one visit can lead to a completely different perception of a park than another. I can’t speak for my friends (who I allow to express their own independent thoughts in my videos), but I’m very careful to never say that a park is inherently bad. However, I do point to specific instances where my experience falls short, and provide insight into how a park can improve in the future. I’m glad to hear you’ve had great experiences here though! It makes me hopeful that my next visit will be better, and I’ll be sure to keep an open mind when I return. 😊

@@AdventuresWithParker sorry I was harsh worth your review, I understand, I guess I’m just really defensive of this park because I’ve been going to it for a good part of my life. again, sorry, and I hope if you go again that you can have a better experience 👍

*with not worth

@@BossSuperior201 All good! I totally get having some passion for your local park 😁

@@DHAdArchivez I’ll admit, that *one* bump was pretty jarring haha 🤣

@@juventino915 Awe no problem, thanks for watching 😁

It was devasting! 😥🍟

@@thomashard5452 Trust me, that’s the goal 😅 I always get behind on videos around Halloween time because I do push those videos out as fast as possible. This continues into the holidays as well, and this year past year it was especially tough to keep up given all the commitments I had to working on my degree. Once I get these last few videos out from the Northeast Coaster Road Trip, I’ll be able to start putting out vlogs that were filmed more recently. But these videos are important to me too, so I don’t want to just abandon them.

If nothing else, we can laugh at the memories in retrospect lol

@@alexgeorge501 That’s awesome! Like I said, there are some that I wish I could’ve experienced, but I guess the exciting thing about haunt is that there’s always some new things to look forward to every year.

@@AdventuresWithParker I've been experiencing Haunt since the fearfest days in 2006!

Ope! That’s a good one 🤭

@@wgmcewenOH Thank you!!!

I loved the smell of the original! It’s so distinct and nostalgic 🔥

Awe thanks! This was a fun one to put together 😄

And I don't even think Dorney is that expensive [edit - I looked it up and I can get admission AND all-day dining at Dorney for $64.99 before taxes]! It really is a fun place, and I think it could be a perfect place to visit for a fun family outing, but I'm afraid that price is going to be a detriment for many. I mean, I barely justified it for myself; I can't imagine having to buy tickets for an entire family. It makes me wonder how big of an attendance boost they would get if they did lower the price.

@@AdventuresWithParker yeah, they are charging NYC prices in the Meadowlands. Plus you need to leave the area of the 'park' to go to a food court to eat. Ok fine they gots trendy Chinese food- but that can't be cheap either.

Fingers crossed! Haunt had so much potential to be something big, so it’ll be interesting to see what the future holds, especially with the former Six Flags parks now getting IP-based houses.

@@AdventuresWithParker As a scare actor, it would be really cool to see our haunt finally get an upgrade

We’ve had the best luck at this park! We need to go back 😅

2024

@@BaseballShortzzz This video was actually done in 2023 (I'm a bit behind on content which is why I'm just putting it out now haha). But Holiday World was already selling the Good Gravy shirts last August to get everyone hyped for the ride 😁

@@TAM94114 Yeah, my hair always gets super light towards the end of the summer, and with this one being filmed on September 1, we’re basically looking at peak blonde for me 😅 And I never thought of Great Adventure competing with the shore, but I guess that makes sense!

Yes!!! And so true, that hill really makes it that much more imposing.

@@AdventuresWithParker I’m always scared no how many times I ride.

Thanks Bill!

Awe thank you so much! I'm so honoured 🤩

The cringe is part of the charm 😉 And you gotta remember that the target audience here is children, and they would eat this right up.

@@AdventuresWithParker my nieces (7 and 4) didn't. They thought it was weird, and they asked my sister when we were going to start moving again.

@@awfulfalafelwafflerofl2800 Okay, fair enough 😅 Guess it’s not for everyone then 🤪

@@ParallelDiscover Yes! This was the original version

Thank you! It would be so cool to collab with a fellow Canadian content creator 😁

Oh, that really sucks if that’s true! I know from my experience that these places don’t fool around with weather. If the radar shows any amount of lightning within a 15-20 mile radius (even if you can’t see it with your own eyes), the attractions will close. Now, they usually reopen once things have cleared, so for them to not do that is unusual and would completely ruin your visit.

@@Djtanner839 I haven’t done the new one yet so I’m not sure haha

Went on it. No it doesn’t smell the same. Can’t say I’m surprised since the new version was built in a whole new building

I like to ride on the tubas, French horns, and violins, because I can rock back and forth as I ride them, and not only that, but I also like the mechanical clunks and other mechanical sounds the Musical Carousel makes as it goes around 🙂 It's like the carousel is making its own little drumbeat, and I love that 😊 I call the clunks the "Signature Clunks", since I haven't heard such clear and rhythmic mechanical sounds on a carousel before I rode the Musical Carousel 😉

Could you make a video of the Musical Carousel for me? I'd love it 🥰 So I can hear the Signature Clunks and watch the instruments go around 😊 Maybe even try riding it yourself?

It’s so cool! I love when carousels have unique designs like that.

I don’t know when I’ll be back at Kentucky Kingdom, but I’ll add it to the list for when I do 😁

@@AdventuresWithParker Thanks 😊

It’s so fun! And thank youuu 😊

There was a very similar (possibly identical) coaster that operated at the park from 1973 to 2013, but Cyclone was just installed in 2022! This one previously operated in Mexico as a travelling coaster 🤣

I’m always happy to meet new theme park friends! I don’t know when I’ll be out there again, but I’ll let ya know when I do 😁

Thank you so much 🥂

Awe well thank you so much!!! Always happy to see another Canadian join the crew 🤪

@@AdventuresWithParker im going to Canadas wonderland June 26-28, if youre around lets meet up 😎, I know you’re currently on the go but just sayin haha

Thank you 🥰

Yeah, the new one looks good but the original will always be a classic!

Yes it is! I’m very behind on videos haha 🙈

This was both the greatest and most disturbing thing I googled today 🤣

​@AdventuresWithParker Yeah there's a story that the smile room is in here somwere

It was so fun! And ouuu I might have to check that out next time!
