    Thank you Jacob! I was hoping you would make it to Valleyfair. I worked there in 1980 and 1981 (graduated in '82). Fond memories. The carousel was built in 1925 for the Excelsior amusement park, closed in 1973. Barely remember much from that, but I did ride it as a young child. So did my father with his dad. I only live about 15 minutes from Valleyfair....I should go back, maybe next summer for the memories. Sappy but true.

    Pink lemonade is lemonade colored pink. Sometimes there's strawberry flavor added, but it's usually just regular lemonade colored pink.
    And Woodstock is a single bird, the other birds are his friends.

I have never been stung and I want to keep it that way lol. Worlds of Fun have a Halloween nights, they are up in KC. I know now that it is after labor day I think they are closed during the week, but check their website out. 😉 love your vlogs

    Great video, Jacob. Grave Digger is one of the most popular monster trucks out there. Odds are most likely those monster trucks (not the ride trucks) are actual trucks that are retired from competition, but make great display trucks as they are. Grave Digger has its 40th anniversary this year, having debuted in 1982 with Dennis Anderson until he sold the operation to the U.S. Hot Rod Association, and now owned by Feld Entertainment.

    The haunted house looking thing was for ValleyScare, which is their haunt they do during Halloween. It’s 100% worth it. Cedar Fair goes hard on their haunted mazes and the sets are amazing. They’re going to be introducing three completely new mazes this year!

    If you set that cup of mellow yellow down in and hour you'll trap at least 25 in that cup. The sugar draws them in. When there's a bee problem that's how to get rid of them. It can be any pop though.

    You should definitely go check out the Gravedigger roadside attraction called Diggers Dungeon in Powells Point N.C. You can visit the garage where they build the trucks, they have a awesome gift shop, monster truck rides, a old fashioned themed diner. This is very close to the Outer Banks. This would make a awesome stop in route to go visit the Wright Brothers Memorial in Kitty Hawk N.C. I would love to see you cover these places.

    Pink lemonade generally tastes like regular lemonade because, well, it IS largely made from lemons! The color is the result of adding a coloring, like grape fruit, pomegranate, cranberry, or any number of artificial dyes.

    World's of Fun is a Cedar Fair park in K.C., Mo. I had the best time there near Halloween around 2010. Great fog machines and lots of little added things to keep you entertained while waiting in line, and while walking through the park. I went through a Haunted house, the 3-D Hall of Carnivorous Clowns, took a tour through Camp GonnaGetchuWithaHatchet, and lots of fun stuff. Around dark, of course, is when the action really picked up. I hope I get to see a video of you at World's of Fun some day. Halloween time would just make it that much better! Thank you so much for taking me places I can't go to myself!

    Woodstock is Snoopy's best friend so it's one bird. However he does have a sibling that he was with when the character was first introduced in the comic strip. Woodstock also has several bird friends which all look the same as he does. His main friends are Bill, Conrad, Olivier and Harriet. I'm guessing the fountain was him and some friends.
    Fun fact though...No one knows what kind of bird he is...even Woodstock doesn't know.
