    The park was cool and all, but watching you and Jen skip down the yellow brick road, hand in hand, singing We're off to see the Wizard put a smile on my face like you wouldn't believe. A great big virtual hug to you both, and much love.

      It's wonderful to see mostly nice comments these days. Hopefully all the trolls have been convinced to just go watch something else. (Either that or I've been successful at muting all of them.)

    Absolutely 100 % one of my favorite videos . They did such a good job doing the scenes from the movie , and you and Jen had me laughing and tearing up especially when Jenn was consoling the cowerdly Lion. 😊 you two are awsome people, please never loose that childlike quality and excitement you have about life. That's what makes you who you are and in my opinion so fun to watch. ❤

    I love it that they have added vignettes along the Yellow Brick Road. They certainly have made a lot of improvements, even since last year. This is my favorite place that you travel to. Moment of the video" Jenn getting past the guard by singing "Oh, we, Oh". I was ROFLOL. Brilliant!

    Thank you for sharing your trip to Land of Oz with us. What an amazing place. Watching you and Jen having fun brought me joy.
    I visited Land of Oz many years ago, when I was little. I would love to go to the festival someday.

    So at the 28:56 marker of this video, when you and Jen were skipping along, holding hands, singing together, I honestly choked up. I said, "Jacob and Jen both found their person in each other," cause the two of you just fit so well together. I'm so glad you both have each other and wow, what an amazing thing to have someone get you 100% ... it's beautiful to watch!

    I WAS there when it first opened being a native North Carolinian. It was so awesome then. I'm glad they have tried to restore the show at the end. The original was fantastic! The last Oz Fest I went to my daughter and I climbed that high mtn under the chair lift. Whew! Debbie also owned the Ruby Slippers!

    the Judy Garland overlook at 8:57 is where Me and my wife got married 21 years ago yesterday (sept 7th) when the park was closed, overlooking 3 states. When we got married we had no clue it was the land of oz to we were leaving and seen the yellow brick road and the faces on the tree's. We have been now when it was open such a cool place!

    We were there Saturday. I just found your channel thanks to that visit. I saw you walking around with your camera and figured that you had a TH-cam channel, so I searched YT for recent Oz videos and there you were. Great video. You captured the day very much like we experienced it ourselves. I even spotted us in the background a couple of times. We've been going to the Land of Oz since 2016 and it's always a lot of fun. One of my favorite places to visit. New subscriber to your channel and looking forward to seeing more of your adventures. 👍

    I love it! Great job sharing your (and Jen's) experience. Jen did a great job making the Courage Badge. She should make them up and sell them to the vendors. Kudos to the Actors who brought the land of Oz to life. I visited the Park back when it was still Open. IMHO, it is better now!

    THANK YOU for the walk down memory lane! I went to The Land of Oz when I was probably around 8 or 9...late 70's. I know everything has changed due to vandalism, fires, time, etc. I also remember that balloon ride. That brought back great memories. Everyone did great with their characters as well. I live in the upstate of South Carolina...may have to make that trip the next couple of years. Be blessed!

    What a sweet video. I visited The Land of Oz during it's hay day in 1974. Our church youth group took a trip there.The balloon ride was the way we got to the top of the mountain. Wonderful place. To answer your question about "American Gothic" it's the farmer and his daughter. Thanks for the memories.

    Love your videos, saw your Kansas State Fair one as well and noted the Wizard of Oz elements there as well. If you get back towards Wisconsin anytime soon, stop by Oconomowoc and check out our Wizard of Oz plaza near the town hall. Oconomowoc is where the Wizard of Oz actually premiered 85 years ago. We just had a celebration event for that on September 6th. Definitely worth a check if you have some other sites to see in Southeast Wisconsin (Holy Hill maybe?).
