Thank you for coming! We’re glad you enjoyed your visit😀🎢
Thanks for having us!
I love yalls theme park I’m a kid and I’m going with my friend here soon
Hey guys this trip is exceeding my expectations
Thank you so much. We’re having such a brilliant trip and still have many more vlogs on the way across both of our channels!
So glad you guys got to visit our little park here in Kentucky.
I hope that the New Owners will make big improvements to the place since they've done an excellent job to both Dollywood and Silver Dollar City. So happy that they let you do POVs with the rides though 😊
Glad
We had a great day!
I’m headed to KK tomorrow (Labor Day) with my grandkids and I’m so glad I found your excellent review video. You 2 did an awesome job showing us the park. I live right in Louisville and pass by it everyday going to work, yet I haven’t been in 28 years!!! The irony of folks all the way from England educating me on Kentucky Kingdom. 😄 Love it! 👍
You're genuine excitement is wonderful!
This trip is so cool
You do great job talking about the amusement park and rides. It makes you feel like u are there
Really happy to see you guys made it to Kentucky Kingdom, I was there in the Six Flags days and was disappointed about how they left it. I really love they saved the park and it's been fun seeing it grow and improve. Hopefully, even more, theming and a replacement for T3 in the near future.
It was great to visit!
Here we go!!! What an awesome Friday this is going to be with a Kentucky Kingdom Vlog from my Favorite CZcamsrs!!!
Thanks for watching!
What a nice surprise this park was! The water park looked insane. Thank you for sharing with us, absolutely loving this trip so far! Amazing stuff x
It was a good day when Herschend bought this park.
It’s great to see!
Ooohh !! Love anything Cinnamon. It's something i look for when going to USA. Note: at Universal Orlando, they sell Cinnamon Bites in cups. Also something i've done in the past....buy box of Cinnamon squares cereal and some sandwich clear bags, add them together and you have a pocket of treats to eat as you walk round or picnic.
I've such mixed feelings about Six Flags. The 1 time I visited this park it was being run into the ground by Six Flags. It looks so much better after the 5 year vacation. I'm glad they RMC'd one of the tiered coasters ... things are looking up being owed by Silver Dollar City and Dollywood, excellent change! 👍
The RMC is epic!
Very good review! Smaller parks have that kind of charm that big parks don't have. They often have a more charming quieter atmosphere. It strikes me that you are allowed to make a POV here, but larger parks of the same company you can't. Every episode that you are making is a highlight of the day. Thanks that you make it seem that we're with you there. But when it's a boring coaster like the CCI woodie, you remain to be honest. But to me, I would hate it if an SLC would be closed. I love those... but on the other hand, I also love Hero at Flamingoland. One of my favorites even in England.
Thank you for watching!
Loving watching these blogs guys from the travelling the hotels and then a look at the lovely parks its lovely seeing how much you are enjoying your trip thank you xx
Thank you so much. There’s so much more still to come!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide will be watching xx
@@ThemeParkWorldwide can't wait xx
11:42 I agree, although I think it would be even better if you didn't notice the road, just like Phantasialand does it by building something on top if it, but that's also really expensive.
That would be great!
Loving the parks where the both of you have never been before. What an epic journey yous are having.
Thank you!
We need that RMC at Drayton manor. It would be perfect to boost capacity. Come on DMP get it ordered!!
Some very exciting footage. Absolutely loving this series thankyou x
Thank you!
That park looks like fun
It's great fun. They even have a great deal for out of state visitors. You can get 2 full days for 39.99 and that includes free drinks and free sunscreen. They also have a Larson drop tower which is absolutely awesome. Cyclos is one of my favorite flat rides as well. Very intense. The animal shows are very, very good too.
Brilliant day!
My name is Craig Dennis i watch your both new videos all the time i in joy all of your both videos all the time you both haveing on your long trip👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for your support!
Another amazing vlog,I love the way you say here at kentucky Kingdom alot just so we don't forget lol😅😅
Great review! The water park looks awesome. Storm Chaser seems to be a fantastic RMC, despite being on the smaller side, & Lighting Run seems good, too. Their carousel is gorgeous! And you can't go wrong with cinnamon bread.
Silver Dollar City and Dollywood are absolutely my favorite non-Disney theme parks so to already see what herrschende is doing with this park is incredible. Great vlog as always can’t wait to continue watching them!
They are fantastic parks
Haven't been to Kentucky Kingdom since 2009! It's only about 2.5 hours from me too. Looks like they've got some great rides!
They’ve got a nice ride selection!
When I saw the Tidal Wave type ride I was wondering if you would go on it but then I remembered Charlotte’s reaction to Tidal Wave at Thorpe Park and I thought that you guys would probably not go on it. Can’t wait for King’s Island!
Love all your videos❤❤❤❤
Would love something like storm chaser at drayton manor figures crossed
That would be awesome!
I have been to Kentucky Kingdom quite a few times and when Storm Chaser is warmed up and running fast, that first airtime hill might be the strongest single moment of sustained ejector I have ever felt and I have been on 17 RMCs, El Toro etc. Lightning Run is about equal with Storm Chaser to me, I just love the layout and it is stunning when warmed up as well.
It’s such a great ride!
Now that I've finally watched this I notice you mentioned visiting KI next at the end of this video, but when I wrote my 1st comment I only guessed you would but I hadn't seen this video yet. Great video, thanks for posting!
Shawn and Charlotte,
RMC,
seems to be the dominant builder, they are doing something right!
The weather is OK, hot but no Tornados or bad thunderstorms, yet!
Oops,
I shouldn't have said that. I sound like Hagrid talking to Harry and almost
mentioning the Philosophers Stone.....
Don't worry ,no Voldemort!
Cheers,
Rik Spector
We’ve done pretty well for weather so far!
I've been there once: May 29, 1999, when Vampire got stuck for 4 hours and 26 people had to be taken off by cherry pickers. Same thing had just happened April 7th that year. I wasn't on it, had a feeling early that morning not to ride it.
Definitely exceeded my expectations as well great usa road trip so far congratulations on another milestone 352 subscribers wow congratulations
We had a fun first visit!
Great to watch you all experiencesour parks. I live in Kentucky and my main park is Kings Island, I love it so very much!!
Thank you! It was great to visit here for the first time!
Another brill video. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😁😁😄😄😄😄😁
Thunder run straight section had a few hill at on point but they were causing to much stress on the track and Foundation so they were replaced with straight section to keep running this many years.
Storm chaser was actually 2 dueling coasters at one time. Maybe someday they can be back Stella back someday.
Awesome Video Guys
Storm Chaser looked great fun. We desperately need something like that in the U.K. I always enjoy it when a park surprises you with what it has to offer. I’m definitely trying a cinnamon bun when I get to a Herschend park.
Nice to see Thunder Run is using PTC trains. And on that note the new comet trains for hershey look amazing.
9:45 Yep Burton - on - Trent.. near Swadlincote! one for dancing dean johnson if ya watching! Evening! 😂
Great vlog! I didn't really know that Kentucky Kingdom became a Six Flags theme park! But the rides at that park are really amazing!
Hey 👋 Shawn and Charlotte amazing to see your having an awesome time on your epic USA🇺🇸 epic adventures exploring these different theme parks amazing places on your other channel. I must admit your vlogs are awesome definitely delivering great top quality content certainly more has succeeded my expectations these are brilliant aww thank you so much 😊 the cinnamon bread is 💯 % addictive delicious I made quite a few myself in the past
Thank you!
helix helix helix 😂😂😂😂 i make my kids shout that at fantasy island and blackpool now 🤣🤣
I’m so excited this park is on my list to do next year im pumped Woohoo thanks for a great vid guys. Sorry for delay on comment fell asleep last night 😂😂😂😂 ❤Lisa can’t wait to see next one
Thanks for watching!
Loving the RMC … can we have one in Australia please too .. looks so fun … great pov’s Shawn
I just went to Kentucky kingdom this past Monday...it was hot, and the coasters were literally launching me and my girlfriend out of our seats...
Even the Kentucky flyers was throwing us out of our seats 😂😂😂😂..you want some airtime, go to this park.
The building the theater is in now used to contain an indoor coaster.
This would be a great park for the combo STC and family boomerang that Vekoma offer, to replace T3.
I think they should replace T3 with the new standup style ride B&M put in seaworld orlando (Pipeline) as a Chang 2.0
Excellent video Shawn and Charlotte from Kentucky Kingdom, the 16th theme park of our USA Road Trip! In this vlog, we share on-ride povs from all 5 of the roller coasters on offer at this fantastic park, including Storm Chaser, Lightning Run, and Kentucky Flyer. We also experience a variety of other rides on offer at the park, along with checking out everything the Kentucky Kingdom has to offer! keep the good videos coming on the channel, Shawn and Charlotte.😀😎👍👍
Something i am noticing is that out there they have a lot more wooden coasters compared to the uk. Also theres seem to turn sideways which ours dont.
You still see branding from Six Flags. The entrance, Penguins Blizzard River, the Cinema...
I went to Babylon park today because of you guys, now i think I might be going here 👀 thanks for the great content the 2 of you 🎢👍
Have fun!
37:10 ive seen that lego movie film at legoland windsor and its quite good. I remeber you mentioing it and watching it in the legoland windsor vlog back in 2016
I used yo love going to this park as a kid, we actually went around the time you guys were there, would've been cool to see you guys :)
It’s a great family park!
Another great looking park with super attractions. Getting difficult to do a top 5 !? Might have to do a top 10 !!! Lol.
Enjoyed 😇😇😇😇😇
HRH The Duke and Duchess of X-Sector have arrived!
Kentucky Kingdom has been my home park since 92' and this is our first Royal visit. Love you guy's; God save the King.
Some History:
Thunder Run - a hill after the 2nd turnaround was removed during the SF years leaving a long-straight section. I rode this opening day and it was wild, like RMC wild.
4-D Theater building used to have an indoor Jet Star named Starchaser. After an accident in the mid-90's it was relocated.
Thanks again for visiting my baby, be safe you two. Do yourself a favor and try a bag of "Grippo's" chips (aka crisps) and a "Big Red" soda at any gas station.
Thanks for sharing!
Brilliant vlog mate
I guess the roller skates on the Vekoma Junior were once standard or at least a popular option, since Plopsaland De Pannd in Belgium &, Julianatoren in The Netherlands have this exact model with skates as well.
from Detroit Michigan here. i just want to say i love your vlogs. Carters Steam Fair is one of my favorites. I would love to do What You and Charlotte do, but i dont have the means to travel about. Keep it going you 2!
Thank you
kool vlog
Unusual Rapids ride, like you two say. Now days (partly due to what happenend at Drayton Manor) they are built with framing round the outside of the vehicle to prevent fall out. And like Charlotte said, no middle bar to hold onto !? Very unusual. I'm guessing under 16 year olds must be accompanied by a adult on that ride. Love them attractions..just must keep safe at all times.
The Lighting Run comment cracked me up because you are an enthusiast! 🤣It is related to RMCs. It was engineered by Ride Centerline. Alan Schilke is involved with both companies, so yes it does give off RMC vibes and you noticed the similarities just by riding it. 🎢
It was indeed. Such a brilliant coaster!
Pokey Park! I immediately thought of RCT when you were showing the map with the road down the middle and then 5 minutes later you mentioned it haha
That’s the one!
Storm Chaser was my number 5 at the start of the season. I got on Steel Vengeance this year and made the connection too.
It’s a brilliant ride
Hi shawn and Charlotte looks like a lovely park. I don't know whether you have heard about the rollercoaster accident grona Lund park . Very sad . Still loving your trip . Thankyou for sharing with us. Love to you both as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
Very sad indeed
The coster has like a shoe train and awesome yellow track 😊
At Dollywood, the cinnamon bread is warm.
Got 10 rides on storm chaser two weeks ago . Such a great ride. Lightning run air time is violent, great ride instant top 10.
Amazing rides!
8:26 I see me standing there, menacingly!
Nice find on the carousel 🎠 well done Charlotte
It was a beautiful carousel
Love this one 😎
Thanks!
Great Vlog as always Shawn and Charlotte
Thank you!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide you’re welcome
Remember going on one of those loops when they had one at Great Yarmouth 🤮🤮🤮 Half the people on the ride got off feeling sick, it was the worst experience I have ever had at an amusement park, even worse than riding Colossus at Thorpe Park and that takes some beating 😆
I haven't completed the video but my three comments as so far.
1. The arena is for the kentucky derby horse races.
2. Thunder run is like a race track it's nothing but left and straight away
3. Like Iron Gwai, Storm Chaser used to be two dueling coaster n known as the Twisted Sisters.
Thanks for watching!
Thunder run looks like the Hurler coasters at cedar fair parks
seems like a great park i would visit thanks kids
I think Chance Rides refers to Lightning Run as a Hyper GTX model. I was shocked how good it was on my first ride.
actually would you believe another park had a major road going right through the middle of it. It was Astro world by the Astro dome stadium in houston. it changed ownership to Six Flags houston but then the whole complex gave up because of one hurricane. The Astro Dome was imploded leaving the Rotting park and the land underneath. Amazon bought the land underneath Houston's attempt at revitalizing the area which was a new theme park called astroland and a new Stadium for events. currently the entire land is a Amazon shipping center and on the other side is an amazon storage warehouse. it did however bring in a lot of jobs.
Thanks for sharing!
They should’ve themed Storm Chaser as a junkyard or scrapyard…. Because it looks like it lol
I am currently at Carowinds, my home park and I hear you all are here today. I would love to meet you. I am currently waiting inside the theater to see the 3 Brad Ross magic show.
Vlog on the way soon!
30:22 Kingda Ka was testing today. So hopefully it will be open by the time you guys get there. 🙏
Let’s hope so!
Glad u guys liked Kentucky kingdom. The clock use to go in reverse. When it was six flags
We had a great day
@@ThemeParkWorldwide that’s great to hear
Glad that you had a good day at Kentucky Kingdom. We are hoping to go there on our trip in July. Last year we went but there was a storm in the area so the rides did not open. Ironic since they have so many storm themed rides. We got our money back at customer services so was okay in the end. Fi gers crossed my boys get to ride Storm Chaser🤞
We had a great day!
There has to be 50 of those Larson Loopers travelling all over North America at carnivals.
I'd love to see the stats on how much driving you all are doing.
Around 4300 miles in total!
I ❤ u guys hope u both r staying safe from Joe suggett from back in the UK i have subscribed to your CZcams channel keep the videos coming i love the videos!
We’re having a great time!
New Food!!!!
These are a little long so I can't watch all of them, but I still intend to se your Holiday World vlog and I'm excited because I trust you're going to KI after this, which I've just been to. It's the best run Cedar Fair park w friendly staff, and coaster line up almost as good as Cedar Point with six of the best coasters going off into the woods. I Hope I get a chance to check out at least parts of this video; I'm sure it'll be great as always. Cheers!
Thanks for watching!
I'm glad you came to my homepark
Had a great day
There a soaker water ride at this park saw it on CZcams Mile high absolute soaker at the end of the ride x
Kingda Ka has been repaired and is now testing. I’m very hopeful that you’ll have it open for your visit to Great Adventure.
Let’s hope so!
Kingda Ka was testing earlier today, hopefully yall will get to ride it on this trip!
Let’s hope so!
They like their big entrance signs, woodies and fountain packages over there 1:42
They certainly do!
Kingda Ka was testing today!! Fingers crossed 🤞 for you too
Great to hear. Fingers crossed!
Went there before going there again for July 4th
I hope they replaced T3 with a new gen Vekoma, coz T3 looks the part, so something of similar scale would be perfect in that location. Somehow they need to top Storm Chaser! Hope they choose well. Id always over the years, bad things about KK, but your video has changed my mind - it looks great to be honest. Glad it was saved. Glad it looks like its doing well too.
It’ll be interesting to see what they do!
Storm Chaser just shows that it always have to be a record breaker to be a great ride. When Maverick at Cedar Point opened people were disappointed, then it debuted. People quickly changed their minds and Maverick quickly became the most popular coaster at Cedar Point. A little trivia, Cedar Point was actually going to put a record breaking floorless coaster in that location before they went with Intanmin instead for Maverick. They obviously made the right decision.
Thanks for sharing! Maverick is incredible!
Some of the old Nemesis track sections have been found in storage. I wonder could this could mean and what it could be used for.
It’ll be interesting to see!
I wasn't never there but planning on going this year do they have dining n drinks pass n fast pass what is the least non busy days
