Same!! I grew up here. I went here went it was marine world and then throughout high school we visited so many times! Great memories ❤

Was never known as Marineland. Marineland is a different park in Palos Verdes CA. It was known as MARINE WORLD then merged with Africa USA to become MARINE WORLD AFRICA USA in Redwood City. Then relocated to Vallejo in 86. I loved MWAUSA as a kid so I want to tip my hat to that park (not trying to be a know it all.). One of the elephants there played the Bantha in Star Wars and they had the Bantha costume at the park! Love your volgs Jacob - ☮

That is so awesome that you got to sit down with the CEO of Six Flags. Your (sometimes crazy and frustrating) trip led to something very special. I'm going to be on the lookout for more dark rides at Six Flags! You rock Jacob!!!!

The CEO couldn't have asked a better person for their perspective on the parks! Awesome :) Thanks for the video CB!

K-9 was Marvin's dog's name. Cincinnati zoo also takes advantage of parking areas with solar roofs. It's a great idea and I've wondered why big places like Walmart didn't do the same? Several times storms have knocked out our Walmart and they lost a lot of inventory.

I miss Marine World Arfrica USA in Redwood City. the giant water slide and the water ski show with the boat jumps off the ramps was awesome as a kid, also the boat ride around the park. Great Memories

I remember when this park used to be Marine World back in the 90s.

Recently found a hat from when it was Marine World Africa USA. Remember the whales and dolphins at that park. A friend and I got season passes and would drive from Sacramento after work for a quick couple of rides about once a week back in the early 2000’s.

This park is a hidden gem. So glad you got to meet the CEO! Perfect suggestion! Can't wait to see the dark ride... Marvin Martian ???

Marvin the Martian Astro Blasters would be a pretty easy first place to start ❤

My dad took me to Marineworld when it was just Marineworld. Before they added the warm blooded animals and added Africa USA. It had just opened in Redwood City on the peninsula south if San Francisco. It was very sparse compared to today's standards. The only non marine (and crowd draw) attraction they had was a water skiing elephant! Jacob my very first car was a used Toyota Corona. Yes, a CORONA. It was a great little car!. I drive a Prius now. Yes, they last if you keep the maintenance up. Safe travels, Jacob!

Used to go here ALL the time as a kid! Back before Six Flags when the park was called Marine World Africa USA. Awesome memories.

Used to go there so often as a kid. The last time I really went was when I was 19 I think which was... a long time ago now. It was basically my home away from home when I was young and got season passes. I used to ride all the rides by myself because my family was too scared, and I was the youngest. The shark aquarium is my favorite thing in the park, I could stand in there for hours.

It was so nice seeing the CEO from Six Flags, so glad you got to meet him! I enjoyed seeing Six Flags Amusement Park, & all it has to offer. Perfect for a family day out! Lots to enjoy! Safe travels Jacob!

I grew up going to this park when it was in Redwood City! It was Marine World, then Marine World Africa USA. They both outgrew the old space and also the land in what is now part of Silicon Valley became too valuable. The original land is now the headquarters for Oracle. I haven’t been back since it became Six Flags.

Well done Jacob I agree ❤.More CEO of these entertainment places should listen to the people who visit them and pay for annual passes. They should do like you do and put a poll out to their customers. ❤from UK

I'm happy you had fun in California, Jacob :) and thank you for showing a me a Six Flags park that I never even knew we had in CA! I hope the trip back home will be smoother than what you've already experienced haha

I could hear a wistful tone to your voice when you were talking about home. So go on home, my friend. I have it on good authority that there's no place like it. Rest up and recharge, and if you happen to run into one, never say "bite me" to a cannibal.

Dark Rides are a good addition to attract families, which is something he wants to do

Hopefully you are able to make it through the snow on I-80 around Lake Tahoe. Best of luck.

Wow I can’t believe you were in my neck of the woods man! Also it’s Marine World, not Marineland. You should also visit the Exploratorium in SF if you get the chance. 🤟🤟🤟

Park opened when I was 1 year old! Many, many fun school field trips were had. Small correction, it opened as "Marine World" not Land. Just a zoo, no rides. Then it merged with "Africa USA", becoming "Marine World Africa USA", 55 years later and I still remember the radio jingle. This vid was a blast from the past, thank you!

Carpetbagger - Advisor to the CEO of Six Flags. Has a nice ring to it.

Jacob, I live in Reno and since January we have had snowed here almost every day.. it's been crazy! Up in the mountains like at Donner they have set a record I believe and we have more coming.. be careful I love your videos ❤️

You are the picture of perseverance and adapting and overcoming...and always with a smile and a great attitude! Safe travels, you vagabond, you!

The original name of this park was Marine World, NOT Marineland. Marineland was a park located in Palos Verdes, California (near Los Angeles) that closed in 1987. Marine World opened in 1968 in Redwood City, California (on the peninsula south of San Francisco and north of San Jose). As the name suggests, it was marine life themed and had only shows, specifically involving marine mammals. There was a dolphin 🐬 show, a killer whale show, a seal 🦭 show, and a water skiing show (no marine mammals, just humans). They eventually explained by adding land mammals, mostly from Africa, with some from Asia. The land mammals included lions, tigers, elephants 🐘, zebras 🦓, various members of the cat family (cheetahs, leopards 🐆). The land mammals weren’t in actual “shows,” but shown while a host would talk about the species (what they ate, where their natural habitat was, mating habits, etc.) Similar to zoo, but with a little more entertainment. In 1986 Marine World move to the present location in Vallejo. At that time it was in the form as it was in Redwood City: the marine mammals, water skiing, and land mammals. At some after the move to Vallejo they began to add theme park “rides” (such as roller coasters). Then began a transition to what it is now. The water skiing show was dropped, then one by one the animal (both land and marine) eventually went away, to be replaced by roller coasters and other rides. This greatly accelerated when Six Flags purchased the park in 1999. Today the dolphin 🐬 show is just about the last remaining vestige of the original Marine World.

It was called Marine World when I was growing up and then was switched to a six flags. So many fun memories of this park.

Jacob , you are the CEO of KZread! I’ve been watching your vlogs for several years. Always great. Hope to meet you one day.

Glad you visited SFDK, it's my homework alongside CA Great America within North Cal 🥰🥰🥰

It's been a good visit despite your challenges...I'm sorry you were here when we've had some of our worst storms ever here. Be safe heading onward! I hope the way to Reno has been cleared well for you!

I love your outlook on life, realising there are problems but as long you and your loved ones are OK, you can get over that hurdle. The CEO sounds like a really cool guy! I've had the "pleasure" of meeting CEO's who clearly don't care about anyone but themselves, so it's nice to hear of one that wants honest feedback and cares.

You NEED to go back during Halloween! They have haunted houses, a minster dance party, and tge fountain flows blood red! I love that place!

I like when you and Jenny Penny do video's together! You guys look so happy together!

Sorry to say I've only been to one Six Flags park and that was in 1965 at Six Flags over Texas when I was 9 years old. And I remember how much fun it was.

One of the most underrated rmcs

I was there that day! I got home and couldn't believe this was the first thing KZread recommended to me. I saw myself and my party in this vid! Thanks for the unofficial home video!!

Wow Jacob!!! Did u ever imagine that you would be rubbing elbows with the CEO of Six Flags ??? Super cool 😎 for you.😉 Safe travels back home my friend. ✌️❤️🙂

Really cool that you got to meet the CEO of Six Flags. All the set backs on the road led you to be at Six Flags on that day.

I love this vlog! I believe when I was a kid in the 70s it was called Marine World Africa USA. We just called it Marine World here in the Bay Area. Just such a wonderful place to spend the day! Thank you for taking us along.

I have loved the CA adventures!

Wow meeting the CEO of Six Flags and offering a really good suggestion for improvement is awesome! Great job being an ambassador for the ordinary theme park customer Jacob!

Thank you for all you do Jacob. Drive home safe.

Dude! What an epic trip. So glad you got to come to my town. ( Santa Rosa) grew up in Kansas City and moved west in 83. Been in Santa Rosa since 93. You visited so many of my favorite places. Jelly Belly Tour, Schulz Museum and Ice Rink. Ripley' s grave. , Great America, Etc etc. Safe drive home and get out of those mountains. The rain is coming your way as well and that probably means more SNOW. Get while the getting us good.

All that water around the park was part of the reason they chose to relocate to Vallejo from Redwood City. When it was Marine World Africa USA, it was predominantly an animal and marine park, but had water ski shows. In the early days in Vallejo, they still had water ski shows, and that's why there is a grandstand along the water's edge.

Safe travels. Look forward to the next leg of your journey.

Jacob, have a great idea for an upcoming episode. You should spend one full episode just talking about some of the strangest experiences you've had on the road over the years (not including all of your recent car issues). I'm sure you have some stories!! Safe travels!

OMG I can’t believe you came to my town. I’ve been watching your videos since like forever lol. Love it.

This is the cutest vlog, Carpetbagger!

Have a rest and a chill when you get home!!!!. although I am sure you well be busy and have things to do!!!. loads of love as always to you and Jenn.. Marie XX

I grew up going to this park when it was still marine world. Great memories! It would’ve been awesome to see you there!

that spinning water ride is realy slow its like a splash battle with a small footprint we have one over here in slagharen in the netherlands there realy funny on a hot summerday

Wow! You were practically literally in my backyard (just 2 miles down the road)! We recently got season passes since we’re so close, mostly for the animals. Haven’t watched yet, but judging from the other comments you must have enjoyed your stay. Thanks for checking out Vallejo! It’s a pretty cool town and doesn’t get a lot of credit.

POV : you’re going in less then 5 days so you’re watching someone else. god bless you man loving the blog ❤❤❤

Great video Jacob. Nice meeting you at Great America. Safe travels home.

Goodbye @The Carpetbagger at least from California. We went to Scream Break at Six Flags Magic Mountain yesterday.

I love this park, I even got to check out how it looks during Fright Fest! Love the vlogs Jacob

As Marvin would say "Where's the KABOOM, they're is supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!"

Drive safe! Can't wait to see whats next!

12:05 "We need a bigger boat!! " Sorry, couldn't resist it!

This was named “Marine World Africa USA” in the late 80s early 90s, it was one of the best wildlife attractions in California. My family would go every year. Six flags ruined it. Adding the rides forced cancellations of many animal demonstrations and some animals had to leave the park completely. I understand but very unfortunate that education was pushed aside for thrill rides.

Take care and drive safely Jacob ✌️💜 I will send You good vibes for Your journey home 🤞🙏💗☮️✨♾️

That solar-power/covered parking is seriously impressive.

Fingers crossed we get some six flags dark rides! So very cool he was there and interested in feedback ❤

I remember visiting this park, back in …… 2000? Maybe, 99. There was an SLC called, Kong. A wooden coaster, that was under construction. A dried up, river rapids. I think a launch coaster, that twist at one end. I don’t remember anything else. This park has grown, A LOT!

There's also La Ronde in Montreal and another park in Mexico City, which I just assumed you were missing

That encounter with the CEO was meant to be. He couldn't have asked a better expert. Love the dark ride suggestion. Thanks Jacob!

How much you want to bet that CEO has no idea what a dark ride is and that was the 10th time he said "I like that!" today...

3:50 An amusement park I used to work at, this ride made a bigger splash

Thats so cool! That’s a great suggestion and definitely would love more dark rides

I live in Canada....that much snow is normal in the winter lol. Its funny to see someone knew awe of it lol

Grew up going to six flags over Mid America. Right outside of St Louis, Missouri ❤

Thanx for Taking Us Along 🌞✌

My parents took my siblings and me to the park when it was Marineland. I remember watching animal shows like dolphins. I have been multiple times to Discovery Kingdom and after it became a Six Flags park.

Thx for this awesome Trip Jacob, i hope your bad luck has worn of for a long time, all the best :-)

Yes👍 More Dark Rides in our future. Thanks for letting him know. 😊

Glade to see you in the video somewhere besides Disney lol oh my mistake that'll be Adam he does that in his video. He goes to a amusement park it's got to be Disney and only Disney lol. Thanks Jacob going to places that are totally different something fresh. Your the man a joy to watch.😊📸 Thanks for sharing.🤓

I used to take my kids and granddaughter every weekend. It was from Marine World, from Redwood City California.

Marvin the Martian's dog is named K-9. I am so happy you took us on this slightly cursed roadtrip. Be sure to share the stories of your experiences with your family again and again. You are living the dream that I wish I could live. To see the whole US. To see what people have made what wonders and stuff that most will never see. See you soon, duder.

Started as Marine World, rather than Marine Land. May seem a small difference, but means a lot to those of us who loved the original in Redwood City.
