Candy Land was invented for children in hospitals. So they could play but even if they didn't feel well it still felt like they were a part of the game.
The idea of Humpty Dumpty being an egg actually comes from an original Alice in Wonderland illustration. The original artist that illustrated Humpty Dumpty portrayed him as an egg and now he's considered an egg.
Whoa😲 so cool! At 1:06 It's a giant stick of Rock Candy! I've always thought that there was something unique & pretty about Rock Candy (although eating it may break a tooth or two lol)!
What you saw at 11:47 appears to be a variant on a Waltzer type ride, they're common funfair rides in the uk. The idea being the carts spin and the track spins.
They painted our doppelganger on that fun house! The Posh Blonde and the Chocolate Gorilla! Good vlog! Nice Live chat with Jeff last night too. Y'all seem like my type of people. Be safe! Keep pushin.
Hi Jacob, very awesome vlog at Storyland interactive attractions.. This lovely place reminds me of Disneyland because of Snowwhite and the seven dwarfs!! Glad you enjoyed your trip to New Orleans!
I looked Humpty Dumpty up on Wikipedia. The nursery rhyme is thought to be from 18th century England. He was first referred to as an egg in Through the Looking Glass by Louis Carroll. I hope that helps clear it up for you.
In the book its "Mirror, Mirror..." because in the original collection from the brothers Grimm its "Spieglein, Spieglein..." so they changed that line in the movie.
The carousel was down for about 2 years after Katrina, the horses have real horse hair tails. The lady bug coster was wiped out by Katrina and was replaced. The oldsmobile cars are no longer there... those were my favorite ride, and the dragon slide was my favorite storybook land display, I was terrified of the whale as a little kid and it use to have a fish tank in his throat when I was little. I ha e had so many birthdays and christmases there....
This is an old video, but thanks for going to Storyland. For me, its home, and I miss home. You need to go during Christmas In The Oaks. The Christmas lights in the surrounding area is gorgeous.... With Mr Bingle!!!! Also, just for reference, its pronounced "Chop - i-two - lus"
Humpty Dumpty was the name of a canon back in the Civil War in the origin of the story is that the Canon was on a fort I believe for the union and it had fallen over the side of the wall When the top of wall gave out Where it was placed and then they came up with that poem
To expand on the Humpty Dumpty discussion, although the rhyme itself dates back to the English Civil War era, it was first printed in 1910 in "Alice Through the Looking Glass" by none other than Lewis Carroll, where Humpty Dumpty was portrayed as an egg - which is why (presumably) everyone thinks of Humpty Dumpty as an egg now.
Seems like almost every episode of little parks like this are a game of “will jacob get stuck this time?” 😂 thanks for squeezing through slides and tortoise shells for hour entertainment!
Funny thing about Anansi is that there's a similar character in Lakota tribe lore called Iktomi, who's also a spider trickster, sometimes a hero and sometimes a villain.
Humpty dumpty was a cannon that fell off a battlement in English civil war in Colchester in 1648 so the historians say. A part of this war was the royalist wanting King Charles the 1st to rule the country without parliament. Humpty was supposedly the cannon but an egg was chosen to make the rhyme child friendly or give it a riddle type quality .
Another GREAT video !!!!!!!!! 😁😁😁😁 Man I haven't been to NOLA since 2010 - 2011 my old gambling days well parents mostly, I like to explore the city and do paranormal stuff to learning the history
Am i the only person that though about Adam The Woo going down that slide with that bike, when Jacob was on the red slide??? My body ached when i saw Adam fall so hard.
I love these type of theme story parks. I wish we had more close to my area. Does anyone know if parks like this exist in Georgia, North Carolina or Tennessee Area??
Humpty Dumpty being an egg is a play on an old riddle that uses some very old slang terms, and one of the answers was an egg. Lewis Carrol turned it around and straight up drew him that way in "Alice Through The Looking Glass," and that version stuck.
The Caterpillar tells Alice one side of the mushroom makes you taller, the other side makes you shorter. The bottle is in the hallway and makes her shrink. There's a cake in the same chapter, which Alice pockets some of, that makes her grow.
The first drink decreased Alice’s size and the second drink increased her size. Just as one side of the mushroom made her grow taller while the other side made her grow shorter
The Humpty Dumpty story was actually based off a canon with that the name Humpty Dumpty. The canon had fell off the fort wall and they tried to fix it but it was beyond repair! The reason why he is portrayed as an egg is due to it fitting a lot more. An egg being much for fragile would definitely break if it were to fall.
I hold to the view that the Humpty Dumpty poem is a riddle. In Carroll’s day, good riddles were expressed in verses or nursery rhymes. The answer to the Humpty Dumpty sense riddle is “an egg”. Carroll’s use of the riddle suggests that it was quite familiar to children.
Weirdly enough, after his Peter Rabbit remark on his slippers, I got a advertisement for a 'Peter Rabbit 2' movie. Didn't know they were making a second one...
1:41 Humpty Dumpty is a good Rapper as seen in the movie "Nothing But Trouble" Good scence with Dan Akroyd What I heard in from old English Legend / Lore is that Humpty Dumpty was a Cannon that was placed on a major bridge on the Thyme River, the cannon fell off into the water and all the kings horses and men (military) could not put it back together again as it was sunk. No idea if this is true but what I had heard in High School Literature class.
The mushroom made Alice both tall and short. One side would make her grow taller, and the other side would make her grow shorter. The liquid she drank made her grow smaller. She ate a piece of candy or mint, cookie, something, which made her grow taller... that is, if you are going by Disney version... I never read the book :-)
well according to some theories Humpty Dumpty actually referred to a cannon rather than a person - I think they probably made him an egg because it seems less disturbing that way.. (slightly)
@carpetbagger hey Jacob. I live in Rhode Island and would love to connect and perhaps help you find some places around here for a good trip for you. We have a few islands and mysterious places near us and think you would have a great time!
The lady and the opossum is from the local Louisiana story book Epossumondas.
I Love the half hearted Disney references in the paint jobs just enough to be legal. Lol
I was about to say I smell a Disney lawsuit coming
Mrs. Wontkins it’s very boardline illegal.
GhaztandFriends Forever its Alice in Wonderland
GhaztandFriends Forever sorry . I couldn't tell if you were a 6 year old trying to spell,or someone trying to be funny

Love Storyland. My kids now in 40s take my grandbabies which take ggrandbabies! Wonderful guys! Nice to see you both.
Whoa😲 so cool! At 1:06 It's a giant stick of Rock Candy! I've always thought that there was something unique & pretty about Rock Candy (although eating it may break a tooth or two lol)!
That’s what I thought it was supposed to be. I’d love to see them light it underneath

That’s Epossumondus! One of my favorite books growing up! Really cute and funny.
Its good to see you two together. I enjoy it so much. Thank you both
They painted our doppelganger on that fun house! The Posh Blonde and the Chocolate Gorilla! Good vlog! Nice Live chat with Jeff last night too. Y'all seem like my type of people. Be safe! Keep pushin.
Awesome video! Thanks. That first piece looked like rock candy!
This was one of my favorite places to visit when we lived in the area. Great fun and a wonderful park to spend the day.
This place is adorable! Probably the nicest Storyland themed park I’ve seen! Thanks for the entertaining tour!
So nice to see all the new rides and decorations! Awesome!!
7:45 “no Pluto, not even a nod to Pluto” [completely ignores the last line of the placard] lmao I love that
Jacob is the most awkward anxiety-filled mermaid ever lived xD
Majestic.
That would be me
Nothing better then grown men going down slides love it
12:59 the campfire village is usually used for group events such as birthday parties

Loving all the fibreglass figures! Snow White looks like me after running up a flight of stairs 😂
the wacky house mural was quite ominous...
in fact, walking along the desolate part of the park reminded me of the opening of Silent Hill 3
Remember going to Storyland when he's a kid. It was so creepy back then. It looks a lot better nowadays.
OMG THANK YOU THANK YOU !! I love Story land 💕✨
Lol your siren song.
That chili foundation looks like a rock candy. Looks like a cool place to visit
Wow! Thanks for sharing! Love this video!
Jacob, awesome and cool video! Really enjoyed it.
In the book its "Mirror, Mirror..." because in the original collection from the brothers Grimm its "Spieglein, Spieglein..." so they changed that line in the movie.
5:45 Alice has seen some shit
This place holds so many memories

Good morning Jacob, I have been to New Orleans so many times and didn’t know Storyland was there. I love the little boat for $1
Cool place I'd love to go there thanks Jacob God Bless 😇🙏♥️🇺🇸
That was a great tour!

Brittany Stephenson yes exactly
3:11 So *that's* where Jacob got the possum-intro idea.
Ah man this was so much fun!!
NOLADEEJ hi
@@jmadi09 Hi Justine!
BTW, Mr. Bingle DID fly . But you'd have to be an #OldFart like me to remember that.
@@richardd.2988 oh wow hahaha see? I'm no expert hehehe. That's cool though!
15:19 actually made me jump/scream ugh 😂
Check out back yard terrors in blountville TN! I love that place!
Thanks 4 sharing, have a good Eve.

Naomi Hollander Thanks for the info! Most people just believe it’s a silly made-up story and it’s really about English war history!
Beat me too it
The egg came from political cartoons at the time making fun of the fragility of the famous expensive over-sized cannon
That Red Riding Hood close up scared me. Didn't know this was a Halloween episode.
Another GREAT video !!!!!!!!! 😁😁😁😁
Man I haven't been to NOLA since 2010 - 2011 my old gambling days well parents mostly, I like to explore the city and do paranormal stuff to learning the history
This looks exciting I would love to go there
This looks like a great place. BTW: The older New Orleans "attraction" to which you referred at the beginning was called Storyville, not Storyland.
Timothy Raif The other “ Storyville “ sounds like a MUCH more enjoyable place ! 😂🤣
@@kitpelican2 It was certainly different!
5:53
Alice just saw some headlights.
Am i the only person that though about Adam The Woo going down that slide with that bike, when Jacob was on the red slide??? My body ached when i saw Adam fall so hard.
I'm kind of amazed Big Mouse hasn't bombed this place from orbit! 🤣 This place is pretty cool. Now I really want giant Legos. Think what you could do!
I love these type of theme story parks. I wish we had more close to my area. Does anyone know if parks like this exist in Georgia, North Carolina or Tennessee Area??
The Humpty Dumpty being an egg came from Lewis Carols Alice Through the Looking Glass. He's portrayed ass an egg there.

Did you know about the rockafire Twitter account before you made the deal with Aaron?
Like your hat Jacob
the giant glass sculpture at the beginning looked like a giant stick of grape rock candy
mmm...now I want some grape-flavored rock candy
The Caterpillar tells Alice one side of the mushroom makes you taller, the other side makes you shorter. The bottle is in the hallway and makes her shrink. There's a cake in the same chapter, which Alice pockets some of, that makes her grow.
I would have needed the fire department if I went into some of those items you entered Mr. Bag!
especially the turtle. I thought for sure he would get stuck!! LOL
I’m so sad I was just there 2 weeks ago we missed you!, 😓
The first drink decreased Alice’s size and the second drink increased her size. Just as one side of the mushroom made her grow taller while the other side made her grow shorter
I. Love the mermaid boat fountain
The cake makes her grow (at least in the live action films)
They called it Upplecrudgen.(I spelled it how it sounded, I kinda suck at spelling.)

Story land kinda reminds me of Story book Forest at Idelwild Park and SoakZone in Ligonier, pa.
A Humpy Dumpty is a cannon.
@The Carpetbagger Humpty was based on a cannon used by a king of England

Where do they get these beautiful fiberglass figures !!!!
Love this!
6:11 when youre late too many times the rabbit goes from crazy and panicked to this, just "bitch. youre fucking LATE."
Fun place...thanks for sharing! 👍 Always love your silly narration!😂
There where actually 3 things. The liquid- shrink , the rabbits cookie - to grow large , the mushroom- to grow both big and small..😁😁
So much musically talents in here xD
Yep. Beat it til it sings, CB!
Weirdly enough, after his Peter Rabbit remark on his slippers, I got a advertisement for a 'Peter Rabbit 2' movie.
Didn't know they were making a second one...
bagging or bagged it
Hey Jacob. It was good to see you and Deej together. I follow both of you. He may have told you that I commented on his channel to. Have a great day!
It looks like a really good park 💖. Too bad it wasn't in working order🤔💖💜
Good one Jacob 😎👍🏻
1:41 Humpty Dumpty is a good Rapper as seen in the movie "Nothing But Trouble" Good scence with Dan Akroyd

That slide is coming out of a very interesting place on that giant. And the way he's holding it . . . 🤔
The egg character was created for Lewis Carrol's Through the Looking Glass named after the Humpty Dumpty poem.
Uranus will never not make me giggle.
I wish for storyland Park in Los Angeles awesome idea
Love your videos and i from new orleans
5:11 omg thank god this wasn't during the pandemic 😂
The mushroom made Alice both tall and short. One side would make her grow taller, and the other side would make her grow shorter. The liquid she drank made her grow smaller. She ate a piece of candy or mint, cookie, something, which made her grow taller... that is, if you are going by Disney version... I never read the book :-)
that thumbnail kinda scared me a little...
I love how they added the nasa rocket , and the Illuminati eye to story-land. They know what’s up lol. 🤔😅
It was the drink that made her big and the mushroom could as well.one size made her bigger the other made her small
The potion made her shrink,darling. The cake made her grow.
25:33 mr.bingle reminds me of mr.bill from saturday night live/
Jacob the Fiji merman
My oldest son just loved this park when he was little. He is 28 now. It's so awesome seeing it all fixed up again thanks for the video

The one side mushroom or eat me cookie made her big. While the drink me bottle and the other side of the mushroom made her small.
