I was watching Jacob fail repeatedly at blasting people on the rapids ride, and I was thinking about why I enjoy his videos so much. So many travel and theme park vloggers want to create a dynamic experience with their videos. Quick edits, editing to music, perhaps playing some sort of character, or inserting fancy video effects. Jacob, however, is having none of that. You see what he sees, as he sees it, in a very matter of fact, you-are-there way that is refreshingly free of ego. Here is Jacob parking his car. Here is Jacob riding a rollercoaster. Here is Jacob watching a show. Here is Jacob eating chili. Here is Jacob failing to drench these poor people on that rapids ride. All presented with the exact same emphasis, or lack thereof, exactly as it would be if you were actually just hanging out at Kings Island with Jacob. While many go for a whiz bang video experience, Jacobs videos, even at their most frantic, have an almost pastoral quality to them that I really respond to. I feel like Im rambling now. But you get the idea. TLDR: Carpetbagger vids are pretty darn ok.

I love Kings Island! It's got to be one of the best parks! Oh btw the Skyline Chilli, it did NOT move, they had 2 at one time! The one you at at in this video was allways there for a long time! The one up front by the entrance was added in the 2000's. And as you saw is gone now!

Jacob I also “love a good three way” 🤣

Sancho Panza is the sidekick who travels with Don Quixote on his many quests. I need to reread that again sometime! You’re the best Jacob!

Born and raised in Ohio and I love me some Skyline Chili

Could've sworn I've seen your car last night while I was driving! There's not a lot of folks with your hat and a clean-shaven head with rockin' sideburns! Great choice to drop by!

Woo Hoo Kings Island! One of the big things I miss about living in Ohio! And Skyline! 🍝

"I am Sancho, yes I am Sancho, I'll follow my master 'til the end! And I'll tell all the world, proudly: I'm his squire; I'm his friend." From Man of La Mancha, a musical about Don Quixote, to answer your question about who his sidekick is, lol. Now I'll have that song stuck in my head for the rest of the day! I'm sorry, but it's SO FUNNY that you got drenched by rain on that roller coaster! What bad luck! Enjoy your much-deserved break at home!!!

There was a place I worked that had an extremely out of focus camera trained on the front door (I was in maintenance and they wanted a tech, not me, to work on it). Anyway, my work day would begin at 5:30 AM. Even though I had a key card to get in I would press the access button. Security would answer and in a very exaggerated Spanish accent, I would say "My name is Sancho Ponza and I am lost and looking for my very good and trusted friend Don Quijote. Have you seen him?" Several seconds later a very startled security guard would answer "no" and apologize. I told them I would keep looking. Two months later the camera was finally fixed and I didn't know. When I pulled my morning ritual the security guard asked "Ernie, is that you?" When I passed the security station three of the guards were laughing uncontrollably.

I knew I recognized you! You can see me and my friends behind in the line while you're outside Mystic Timbers!

This has been a wonderful journey. I'm unable to travel anymore but used to love to go to Kings Island. It was so exciting to see the Scrambler and the Viking Boat!! It brought back good memories of my brother and I running around the park in the 70s and 80s. Thank you for such a good time!!

I wish I wasn’t doing my clinicals for school I want to go back to kings island as it is my hometown park as I live in Cincinnati hope you get some skyline while you’re down here and stay safe Jacob keep making me and us smile!!! 😊

This was our favorite place to go growing up. Son of Beast is legendary. My cousin worked here a short while too.

Yay! You made it to Kings Island! My Home Park, we all want to go there! Since moving back from Florida. Even my son who works at Disney. He can’t wait to come home to Ohio & go. Thanks for the video Jacob!

used to get a loaf of wonder bread in the '70s where the grill is now. The kids area has gone through it's phases. The best was Hanna and Barbara characters. LaRosa's pizza. and cheesy fries are the go to's

Very cool child's roller coasters.

Love Kings Island! My favorite place as a kid, being in Indiana it’s a short drive.

I remember when the Boo Blasters had the Scooby Doo overlay at certain Cedar Fair parks. I remember the green Scare Tonic on the ground throughout the ride, used to be boxes of Scooby snacks, & were worth more points if you hit them.

I thought I saw you the other night. I’ve been going to Kings Island for a long time.

Congratulations on becoming the top Boo Blaster person!

Awesome video thanks

The real ones remember the back lot rollercoaster used to be called The Italian Job

Don't like rollercoaster senior class trip peer pressure the beast vowed to never give in to peer pressure again haha

There used to be a shootout on the train's route with actual blanks or some sort of gunpowder blasts. It was awesome passing it as a kid.

Love your video Jacob and go get rest and stay safe and keep up great work friend.

Kings Island was my home park growing up and will forever be my favorite. You'll have to make it back out to KI for WinterFest this December and then make a trip up to Cleveland afterwards to see the newly renovated and reopened Cleveland Museum of Natural History.

Hey Jacob you were near me. I live about a half hour away. We don't rride much anymore, haven't been there in years. Thanks for visiting and showing Kings Island.

The top 3 channels I watch. Always good picture, sound and camera work. Great river road trip went thru my area and it was cool. Great America is my home park also.

I am an 80s kid, I was there when it was Nickelodeon and Paramount. I got to ride the hanging coaster in Camp Snoopy when it first opened and was some slime or scooby ride lol. That and the Tomb Raider ride that is gone now. The Backlot Coaster, is as old as the last time I went, it was the Italian job and I chickened out riding it at 15 lol. So I'm OLD xD I'm 35 and have even seen the park when it had RUBBER in the sidewalk to make the whole kids side of the park.. bounce when you walked on it lol that was in 1997.

Ty for the video

The Brady Bunch went there. Great episode.

hey i live around here :)) glad you went

It's been a few years since I ve been to Kings Island. I remember some of those rides from back in the day. First time I rode the Beast was in 1981. Shew that is a rough ride but still fun. I also remember riding a ride called Demon Drop. Im glad they removed that one. It was a pretty shakey ride.Thank You for this video. It was fun to go along with you via video.
