They must not have had the cute little real live play running. Also I didn’t see the amazing little dancing fountains in the English area. Glad you visited. You rock!
1) That Haunted House was WAY TOO SCARY relative to the rest of the park! Little kids would be terrified. 2) I love that you aren't hesitant to slide down slides, crawl through passages, and do other activities that a lot of adults wouldn't do!
The headless person with the talking head was actually the owner/creator/founder of that place. I live in Salem Oregon, 20 min. Drive there. I am 66. Haven't been there since I was 12. Lots of changes and improvements since I was there last. The rabbit hole used to end in a full size key hole. That an adult could stand in. I will take my grandchildren there in October this year. You have inspired me. Thank you, I love your tours. I appreciate you, and the way you show the realities of everything you are exploring.
Being from Oregon I’ve been there many times. As an amusement park and theme park enthusiast, this one has always been my favorite. Since I was a kid (I’m 41…still my favorite). There were a few cool things there not in this video, but it’s been a few years since since I’ve been there, so maybe those things are no longer there, or just weren’t in the video…but you covered most of it. Interesting fact: this park started with a guy buying just a tiny bit of land for very little money (I think under $1000…definitely under $5,000), and I think the first thing he built was the castle. Then he just kept buying more a little at a time, until he finally had enough to open it to the public, and I believe the park is now owned and operated by his kids or grandkids…it’s still in his family last I heard. Great place that’s never crowded…u can easily do and see everything there in a single day…and it’s not expensive. It’s also just a few miles from Salem, OR (the capitol, and 2nd largest city in Oregon)…and about a 45-minute drive from Portland. Plus it’s right off of the freeway, so you can’t miss it.
You are correct. We were just there about a week ago and saw Roger Tofte the creator from a distance riding around on his scooter. He's 92 and still works on it.
I am a sixth generation Oregonian & I grew up going to The Enchanted Forest! I love it so!!! I took 12 friends here for my 41st Birthday (The Enchanted Forest made me a birthday button with my age on it!!).... anyhoo... most of my friends had never been here, and one friend, after crawling down "The Rabbit Hole", exclaimed upon exiting "I just paid $35 to crawl through a dirty hole!!!!!!!!!" It ended up being one of the best days ever, and everyone had the BEST TIME!! & we all vowed to return again!! Thank you for the great video!! I enjoy your watching your travels to all the great roadside attraction!! Thank you!! I really want to make it to the Land of Oz someday!!
Saddened you didn’t show footage of the log ride, as it goes through such gorgeous scenery amongst the treetops, and is an absolute favorite of mine in the whole park. By the way, my mother took myself and my cousins there periodically during the Summer months as a child growing up in the 70’s. No rides back then, just slides, but it was still wonderful.
I used to go here when I was little. Lived in Portland my whole life. They almost shut down completely during covid. Luckily we all banned together on a gofundme and they got it back up and running. ❤️
Yes indeed after watching Justin Scarred video, I also made a donation to the Enchanted Forest. Awesome 👏 place to help out with. I’ve never been to Enchanted Forest, but wanted to help.
I happy about that too I have not been there since about 2001 or 2002 but thinking of going since their open season of Spring and Summer just started about 3 days ago.
My family visited this place a few month back and it was so cute. We live at the northern border of WA so it was nice to visit a place that felt like a trippy Disneyland when I needed a Disney fix. Lol. The theming is all so unique and beautifully done. My daughter really loved exploring the caverns and tunnels when we went.
Living close, I've been going every year of my life. Way back they used to stamp your hand with a stamp that said "magic". It was invisible but glowed under the waterfalls black lights in the mine. I miss that.
In the Netherlands we have a enchanted theme park called Efteling, it's like this park, so fun for kids but also adults ❤️ Great respect for going in the rabbit hole!
The Enchanted Forest is so awesome! Awesome story of a guy that wanted to start his own attraction and built it by hand from the ground up. The storybook trail is so classic old school and even the rides feel completely unique. Glad you got to experience it - We visited a couple years ago and it was a blast!
There used to be a similar attraction in Tacoma, Wa called "Never,Neverland". Sadly, after it closed years ago, it fell to neglect and vandalism . Legend has it that some of the display characters were saved in a warehouse and eventually sold.
Thanks so much for the video. Grew up going to this park. If you ever have time or care to-- read the history. The creator built a lot of it with concrete. They bought the "Haunted House" and set it on the property. (Good story there.) The music was written by a daughter I believe. This park was such a labor of love. We're so happy to share this gem with you Jacob.
I'm 50 and crawled down that rabbit hole last month. But I stayed out of the haunted house. That place is horrifying. Maybe because it's so dark? When I was a kid there were real people in there scaring people. Awesome video!! And trackless dark rides are very rare.
I am so happy you went- definitely my happy place!!! I have a brick in the English village area. You definitely made me giggle seeing you go through the haunted house. Didn’t see the waltzing waters in your video- love that part- hope it still exists!!!!
Jacob, I am so happy that you crawled through the rabbit hole. I took my daughter here about eight years ago and we were both too scared to do it. You made my day. 😊
This is incredible. Thank you so much. Joy and I have not been able to make our way out to Oregon to film this yet so it made me happy to see you did. It really made my day, I pulled my back out a few weeks ago so while laying on a mattress on my living room floor till it feels better this was the first and my favorite positive thing that helped my moral. Great video, but we love all the rest too!
I just passed by here yesterday traveling from Washington to Oregon. Always wondered about what is was like. Thanks for putting this on your list. Looked like you had fun😀
Yet another carpet bagger gem. Love these old style themed parks like the enchanted forest. The one in New York I have very fond memories of as a child
Thank you sir for a piece of my home state. So many more things like this in Oregon I hope you get to a few of them Astoria, Oregon for the Goonies and the Coast Guard Museum would also be on the short list of must go places. Thanks Again!
What a cue park for the little ones . I hope you never misjudge the size of one of those crawl through places .It would be a disaster .That haunted house was very cool.That was a neat dark ride . The roller coaster was so much fun . You didn't even scream. LOL That place was truly delightful. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well ❤
OMG!! I had to stop the video for a minute while I laughed my butt off. The crawling through the tunnel was hilarious!! And then after you reached the opposite end, you can hear children giggling and all I could picture were the kids pointing to you and saying "Mom, why is that man coming out of the ground"!! Thoroughly enjoying this vie as always! 😀🙃
I went here in the late 70s as a kid and have NEVER forgotten it! I’m so thrilled to see it’s still around. The haunted house was my brother & I’s favorite part.
Thank you it's so good to see a working enchanted Forest not abandoned with crumbling fairy tale creatures dwindling into dust Forest reclaiming their castles. But I was fortunate enough to see a home movie from the enchanted Forest of Ellicott City Maryland. It brought back so many wonderful childhood memories of my hometown 😻
So much fun! You really seemed to enjoy yourself Jacob and I've never heard you laugh so much (out of fear or joy, I'm not sure!) while you rode the Ice Mountain bobsled. Glad you had fun!! ✌🏼
I remember when I was a young child I went to a Enchanted Forest, I must have been around 4 years old! It was located either in Maryland or Pennsylvania. 🙂
That was a great eclectic park!!! The fairy tales were cool, that Hansel n Gretal witch was super scary!!! The haunted house was too cool- it was different n simple n extremely effective especially the singing farewell skeletons!!!! The roller coasters were in a beautiful wooded setting, n the English Village was awesome. The dark ride was unusually cool and the boats you could drive were excellent fun.Found another gem!!!! Attaboy, Carpetbagger!!!!
Of course, it wouldn’t be a true Carpetbagger video without some high pitched screaming at compressed air 😂
Lol come on, don’t pick on the man 🤣 he just doesn’t like compressed air.
The Water Fountain Show is the best part of Enchanted Forest!
They must not have had the cute little real live play running. Also I didn’t see the amazing little dancing fountains in the English area. Glad you visited. You rock!
The other children must have thought it was a giant troll climbing out of the rabbit hole when mr carpetbagger was climbing out.
I'm 50 and crawled through it during a visit about week ago. At Enchanted Forest, anything goes. 😁
"We be doin a lil trollin"
1) That Haunted House was WAY TOO SCARY relative to the rest of the park! Little kids would be terrified. 2) I love that you aren't hesitant to slide down slides, crawl through passages, and do other activities that a lot of adults wouldn't do!
I was fine with the haunted house when I first went to the park back in 1996 when I was 8 yrs old. At that age not a lot of things scared me.
You are correct. This absolutely terrified me as a child in the early 90's. I'm so happy this place is still open.
The headless person with the talking head was actually the owner/creator/founder of that place. I live in Salem Oregon, 20 min. Drive there. I am 66. Haven't been there since I was 12.

@@laurag9203 that’s amazing. I wish I could find that kind of lifetime dedication. This place is beautiful
Hope someday the park could get a expansion

I can't believe jacob went inside rabbit hole 😂. What a funny guy
This is actually the best amusement park I've been here before and I loved it if you don't do the prospecting make another video
Omg the classic metal slide...any old schoolers will remember the burns from them in the sun 🤣😬
I looked up "tuffet" it's a small mound or knoll. I always wondered what it was too. Have a great 4 th of July 🇺🇲❤️🤍💙
‘Arrgggh! Oh, compressed air!’ Is the best exclamation of all time x
You know how Superman's weakness is kryptonite? Jacob's is compressed air. 😆
@@BennyLlama39 😂🤣
I guess the dwarves avoided copyright infringements! Ha ha. Looks like a fun family place.
Snow White is public domain so they could name the seven dwarves whatever they want.
So glad you liked it!! I grew up going there and have been hoping you would check it out!
Saddened you didn’t show footage of the log ride, as it goes through such gorgeous scenery amongst the treetops, and is an absolute favorite of mine in the whole park.

We love your videos. Especially the haunted house ones. Your screams crack us up. My little granddaughter says can we watch Jacob screaming lol.
Lived near the Enchanted Forest 🌳 my whole life but never made it there…. Thank You 😊
I used to go here when I was little. Lived in Portland my whole life. They almost shut down completely during covid. Luckily we all banned together on a gofundme and they got it back up and running. ❤️
Yes indeed after watching Justin Scarred video, I also made a donation to the Enchanted Forest. Awesome 👏 place to help out with. I’ve never been to Enchanted Forest, but wanted to help.
Yup I don't live in Oregon , but I donated and got a signed by Roger park map poster...its on my wall framed
I happy about that too I have not been there since about 2001 or 2002 but thinking of going since their open season of Spring and Summer just started about 3 days ago.
When I was young my grandma would take us here every summer. The witch scared me until I was at least 15 yrs old!
A tuffet is a low seat thats how it's used now but it also means a clump of something to sit on so in a way the mushroom is her version of the tuffet
Hello Jacob the 3 bears are father bear and mother bear and the baby bear .
I can't believe you crawled in there either🤣
I love this place... our family went there back in the 70's!!! ❤❤❤
What an awesome place. I love your channel!
My family visited this place a few month back and it was so cute. We live at the northern border of WA so it was nice to visit a place that felt like a trippy Disneyland when I needed a Disney fix.

I SOOOOOO wanna go here !!!!
Ive been going to the enchanted forest since i was old enough to walk. It is a great place
Ever since I started watching your channel I've been hoping you'd check this place out!
The haunted house reminds me of House of Frankenstein in Lake George!
Hello from the UK, a tuffet is a small stool, often with a padded top for comfort but not necessarily. Love your channel
I've been waiting for you to go here for so long! 😄🌳
Living close, I've been going every year of my life. Way back they used to stamp your hand with a stamp that said "magic". It was invisible but glowed under the waterfalls black lights in the mine. I miss that.
Thanks carpetbagger for crawling through that little hole for us, i commend u for that.
Hands down best theme park on Earth. I'm so glad you saw it!!!
In the Netherlands we have a enchanted theme park called Efteling, it's like this park, so fun for kids but also adults ❤️
Great respect for going in the rabbit hole!
I've seen videos of Efteling - it looks absolutely magical!
I want to go to Efteling one day
wowowowow efteling? THE Efteling the beautiful amusement park where the theme is the strong point?man how I wish I could visit that park
The Enchanted Forest is so awesome! Awesome story of a guy that wanted to start his own attraction and built it by hand from the ground up. The storybook trail is so classic old school and even the rides feel completely unique. Glad you got to experience it - We visited a couple years ago and it was a blast!
Awesome… my favorite place when I was an exchange student in ‘94 in Corvallis !! Go Beavers !!
Happy 4th of July to those celebrating! Stay safe y’all!
I visited my friend in Albany in February. This was closed back then, but they drove us by the facade. Very glad you got to go!
There used to be a similar attraction in Tacoma, Wa called "Never,Neverland". Sadly, after it closed years ago, it fell to neglect and vandalism . Legend has it that some of the display characters were saved in a warehouse and eventually sold.
thanks for visiting enchanted forest. It was a favorite growing up
I have a lot of memories of being at that enchanted forest
What an awesome park! That haunted house was amazing and 4 bucks! You gave excellent advice for those being held captive in pumpkin shells.
I love the enchanted forest.😊 Looks like fun.😊
Thanks so much for the video. Grew up going to this park. If you ever have time or care to-- read the history. The creator built a lot of it with concrete. They bought the "Haunted House" and set it on the property. (Good story there.) The music was written by a daughter I believe. This park was such a labor of love.

Brave Jacob, to go into the rabbit hole 😲
Enchanted forest, I've heard of it, I've never been there, but yet somehow, I feel nostalgic about it.
I really enjoyed this! Thank you Mr Carpetbagger 😊
A place I would love to have visited but thanks for this!!
I live pretty close to this park.. This place went through some hard times with the ice storm and the Forest fires.. Glad this place was saved.
They should do a big jump scare when you’re in the dark in the rabbit hole! 😂😂😂
You should check out Wildlife Safari in Winston, Oregon.
I remember seeing a episode of the ghost adventures at this park.
I'm 50 and crawled down that rabbit hole last month. But I stayed out of the haunted house. That place is horrifying. Maybe because it's so dark? When I was a kid there were real people in there scaring people. Awesome video!! And trackless dark rides are very rare.

Ever since i was little i can remember coming here, our family lives like 15 mins away so it was always a summer highlight
Yes, the haunted house is really good and scary! It’s surprising!
Wow I was vaguely aware of this place as a still operating storybook park, but I had no idea it was this amazing. Super cool.
Jacob, I am so happy that you crawled through the rabbit hole. I took my daughter here about eight years ago and we were both too scared to do it. You made my day. 😊
That's surprising the first time I went there in the spring of 1996 as an 8 yr old for my friend Kevin's 8th Birthday that was my favorite part.
I can still crouch walk through the tunnel but maybe that is because I'm shorter than you.
This is incredible. Thank you so much. Joy and I have not been able to make our way out to Oregon to film this yet so it made me happy to see you did. It really made my day, I pulled my back out a few weeks ago so while laying on a mattress on my living room floor till it feels better this was the first and my favorite positive thing that helped my moral.

It would've been nice if the rabbit hole had a gym mat or playground foam on it's floor.
Jacob’s screaming kills me😂😂
It's great to be back. My phone got smashed several months ago. Looking forward to more. Glad to hear that you are doing well. Thanks
Yes your right some of it is kind of creepy.!!!..However it does look good fun XX
We had one in Maryland area I loved it as a child always enjoy your videos. be safe and have a great day
Yet another carpet bagger gem. Love these old style themed parks like the enchanted forest. The one in New York I have very fond memories of as a child
🤣, Jacob your funny, we ♥️ ya man!
The quaint little 🇬🇧 village, they weren't flowers that were just being hung out the window back then either, 😆.
That is one great amusement park for kids and adults. Loved the walk thru haunted house too. Lots of fun.
I'm locked in a pumpkin 🥧 shell Mr. Carpetbagger. 😂 I'm telling you.🤣
awesome. exceeded my expectations as well. hope to go some day
OMG! You crack me up crawling on your knees. I needed that laugh. Thank you!! This place would be creepy at night.
Fun fact the voice u heard in the haunted house was Roger toffte the creator
Great Video thanks for taking the time to do this until next time
Thank you sir for a piece of my home state. So many more things like this in Oregon I hope you get to a few of them Astoria, Oregon for the Goonies and the Coast Guard Museum would also be on the short list of must go places. Thanks Again!
Yeah! You made it to my favorite park. I grew up in Salem and my sister and I loved this place as children in the 70’s.

I just went there last year for the first time and it was surprisingly one of the best places I went to in Oregon. Newport was cool too though.

I wish I had been in town when you were here, I would have loved to have shown you the Nightmare Factory at Oregon School for the Deaf.

The MD Enchanted Forest was actually exactly what this reminded me of...this is like an upgraded version of that.

What an amazing place, love the coaster ride through the forest, unique! Everything is well taken care of and pretty. That was a solid haunted house!
So much fun! You really seemed to enjoy yourself Jacob and I've never heard you laugh so much (out of fear or joy, I'm not sure!) while you rode the Ice Mountain bobsled. Glad you had fun!! ✌🏼
YAY AFTER SUGGESTING THIS PLACE ON ALMOST EVERY STREAM, YOU FINALLY WENT!!!! Wish I was there while you were around, I would love a photo!
I remember when I was a young child I went to a Enchanted Forest, I must have been around 4 years old! It was located either in Maryland or Pennsylvania. 🙂
So glad you finally made it. We were here about a week ago and hoped to run into you. But my son is super excited just getting to see your video. 😁
Yay! You finally made it enchanted forest. I have so many fond memories from my childhood there.
That was so enjoyable. I wish i was on that ride laughing with you. You are great fun.
So HAPPY YOU WENT!!!!
Nice place to live
That western town is Tofteville named for Roger Tofte who built Enchanted Forest. Great video as usual.
That was a great haunted house!
Eyyy! You're finally in my state! I live just a half hour from there and have been going most of my childhood.
That was a great eclectic park!!! The fairy tales were cool, that Hansel n Gretal witch was super scary!!! The haunted house was too cool- it was different n simple n extremely effective especially the singing farewell skeletons!!!! The roller coasters were in a beautiful wooded setting, n the English Village was awesome. The dark ride was unusually cool and the boats you could drive were excellent fun.Found another gem!!!!

Looked like tons of fun, love these kinds of parks, Ty for taking me along Jacob
Oh my gosh I used to go here all the time when I was little, the rabbit hole is terrifying
Love to see some oregon hotspots
