When all the shutdowns happened they did a campaign for people to help the park...I donated for a large painting of the park map by Roger Tofte and he signed it...Pretty cool and it is up on my wall framed now
WHAT??! Lucky!!! I didn't know they had a fundraiser/auction
This is incredible. Can you post a photo?!
Took my niece for her first visit today. If you're a central Oregonian this park is a childhood staple. It hadn't lost its charm or magic. Absolutely worth the time and money to check out.
This place was my childhood
Central or Northern. Portland got ads for it all the time and since my family went to summer camps a lot we had to visit there whenever we saw the sign.
I've loved going to this theme park as a kid and can't wait to go again now knowing it was hand made by a family. The rides are fun, the water show was always a favorite of mine, and overall was just a fun and charming experience.
my grandpa took me and my siblings here all the time as kids back in the 90's. I'm so glad it's still around. The place is awesome.
This park is definitely strange, but it looks beautiful. I love the design of the Ice Mountain area.
This place is outstanding. huge shock for me.
This has become a family tradition. I brought my kids, and now my grand
We LOVE Enchanted Forest! We try to go every year. It’s super fun now that my girls are grown & get the humor and sarcasm in all the funny signs and stories. 😊
What a flashback! I grew up nearby and went as a kid fairly often, and once as an older teen with my little cousins. Definitely want to go back next time I'm in town.
Salem born and raised. I've been coming here for around 30 years now and still enjoy every visit. I was so afraid during the pandemic and wildfires that it would be lost, but they were able to pull through with the help of the fundraising and I was thrilled to be able to finally be able to take my children. They loved it and can't wait to go again.
I live in Salem and I never realized how strange this park is. But I love it, it lacks that big corporate feel that other parks do. Also, Challenge of Mondor is the best ride.
This! Also I second that Challenge of Mondor is indeed the best ride.
Growing up in Oregon this has been a staple in our summer since I was a kid and now I talk my kids. It’s super fun and kinda creepy
I have an Enchanted Forest shot glass! Can't wait to go back this spring!
looks like an amazing park. The US really needs more Themed Amusement parks
Visited Enchanted Forest MANY times growing up. I can remember the Snow White witch animatronic looking more normal when I was younger, they enlarged her head a bit. I was also afraid to go through the Haunted House when I was little, the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland sort of helped me there
How creepy is that haunted house? Is it realistic?
@@CyrusRKO It isn't TOO bad, really, it's got a great atmosphere to it. When I was a kid, it was quite scary, it's not quite as bad as an adult, somewhat goofy in places
@@TuxKamen Okay gotcha. I'm gonna make a trip there next year, and make it a family thing with my daughter. Thanks man!
@@CyrusRKO I hope you enjoy your trip!
obsessed w that place as a kid, idk if they still have but in the 90s they had underground tunnels in the mine themed town.
I absolutely LOVE this kind of content! I would like to visit this park, weirdness is cool 😝. Just your scathing review of that one plexiglass coaster alone makes me want to go Haha. I hear Europe also has a lot of weird parks like this. Thanks for posting!
One park that I'd urge you to visit even though there's no coaster is Enchanted Forest Water Safari in Old Forge, NY. It has got to be the most "out of the way" park in America. It's essentially got two water parks (a jungle theme and an Adirondack theme) plus a fairy tale/little house area like Great Escape plus a dry ride section. It's surprisingly big given its location. I always thought that if they built a Gravity Group junior woodie it would bea great stop for enthusiasts.
I've never heard of this place, but just looked up a few photos of it, it looks cute! Definitely more of a water park than a theme park, but some of the theming elements are fun!
The nicest thing about Enchanted Forest (besides the handmade charm and the incredible watershow) is the fact that it is literally in a forest. On a hill. So when it's 90 degrees Fahrenheit outside, it only feels like 75 degrees at Enchanted Forest. The shade, the breezes, and the many indoor structures make this a great place to beat the heat.
Tree power baby. I love my state.
Love to see a childhood staple on TH-cam!! So many memories of this fever dream of a park lmao
Awesome park to go with friends, there is always something to do and look at, you will never be bored
The witch on the front scared me when it came up 😂🙈
How did you comment this so early???
You forgot to mention all the audio and music in the park is original from the 70’s! You can buy the enchanted forest soundtrack on vinyl, it’s lovely :)
The audio of the animatronics will stay with me forever
True; it's practically the only theme park is America that doesn't license its soundtrack from somewhere else; all of its music was composed and arranged by the founder's daughter.
I never will stop talking about this park for my entire life. I live in Minnesota now, the closest thing we have is the Renaissance festival. Enchanted forest was awesome
I live in the Pacific Northwest and my family and I love enchanted forest. We always make it a priority to go at least once a year. If you’re a kid in the Portland/salem area, enchanted forest is very near and dear to you
I went here 35 years ago and I just went back last week. Still fun and quirky.
There is a quirky park at the base of pikes peak that this reminds me of. Heavier on interaction and experience, Santa clause themed.
If you climb pikes peak and the speak a few hours there afterwards you will get some thrills.
It has one kiddy coaster on the edge of a cliff that they slowly speed up each lap and a ferris wheel that looks out over highway 24.
If you go and ride that new Gersh. . . It's worth half a day climbing the peak and experiencing that little park.
Omg Yes!! Santa’s Workshop!! 😄🎅🏼 had some fun times there when I was a kid!!
My home park! I love it there though 😂
This place looks awesome. If I am ever in the area, I'll definitely go.
this is my favorite theme park ever as a portlander.
I went here as a child and went several times and loved it.
Great video! Thank you for reviewing this much loved park.
It's such a fun place. I've never experienced it as a guest but I've worked there for 2 years and it's so fun to walk around and enjoy it. I'm an entertainer at the park in the theater and in the western town band. I love my job
We were there today & watched the band and the theater!!!! Absolutely incredible job to you & your whole crew - you guys make this Park so magical!! Any chance you were working today, July 6th??
@@RankingTheMouse I was! I was in the western town band. I was the one wearing the hat and playing the washboard
@@SimpleThings7117 AMAZING!! My family & I, including our 9-month-old son, were enjoying you guys for atleast 30min today. What a small world - you guys are amazing & thank you for making our visit magical!
I went here when I was little and thought it was somewhat creepy for some reason. I still have amazing memories from here though.
Coaster Studios I think I've been to The Enchanted Forest before during my childhood.
I would describe this park as Efteling without the big thrill rides.
Exactly! Just what i thought
For me it’s more of Great Escape but without that many big thrilling rides.
And by that I mean with coasters that invert.
Looks great! Reminds me a bit of Storyland in New Hampshire- mainly a kid park but with amazing theming that the owners clearly love. That’s a park it would be great to see you visit at some point- their main coaster roar-o-Saugus is probably my favourite gravity group family woodie- the finale is really something special, and its a family coaster!
This place is so rad!
Oh I've heard of this park. I watch a channel called Shiloh and Bros, some of you may have heard of it, and they filmed a Mario Kart video here.
It's a great park. Too bad you missed Mondor, it's their best ride. This is all elbow grease. This park is still by hand. Rest in peace to the Tofte family members lost in the wild fires in 2020 and found burned to death outside Stayton as well.... Very sad story.
Home park for me. It is indeed, very strange
Challenge of Mondor is pretty cool
Salem is truly the Orlando of the Pacific Northwest.
;)
when it opens again, I really want to go there again
This looks like you have fallen down a rabbit hole and woke up in wonderland.
Definately a unique park that's a must if you're passing through. I went a little less than a month ago, it has a case as the best stateside park in the Pacific Northwest (of course PNE Playland in Vancouver would be the best, sadly I didn't end up going, thinking I'd get the opportunity in August after the new coaster opens. Sadly that won't happen because adult problems).
This place looks amazing
I love going every year
I grew up coming here!
You have to pay extra for tickets.Just to go on rides.That's crazy, because at most theme parks.Once you pay the admission you can ride the coasters all you want
I miss that place
I go there a bunch
its so fun!
Hey Taylor...Is that your Dad in the video at 5:54? He is a really cool guy. I enjoy it when he is in your projects!!
hey dude I had a question, what do you use to measure how long roller coasters are on google maps?
He doesn’t use google maps to measure roller coaster length. (Makes no sense how you would) he uses RCDB as a source.
@@coasterhockygamingboy9549 ok cool, thanks!
I remember watching this video a few months ago. Why the reupload?
this wasn't a reupload, we literally finished editing it yesterday
This park looks kind of awesome. Tbh.
This was my first park
There used to be a similar park called Enchanted Forest in central Maryland. Is that merely coincidental? Anyway, they've since built a strip mall over a lot of it- only a few remnants were left standing- but it was featured in John Waters's "Crybaby."
Go to Story Land in New Hampshire... its very simular but a lot more rides
Efterling started this way too!
❤️
This is so cool
I’m getting big ‘Land of Make Believe’ vibes from this one…with a little ‘Fairy Tale Forest’ thrown in for good measure
OMG.... My old school use to take us to Enchanted Forest in Indiana. it was so mysterious to me as a kid. I think it still exists today.
🤟
I work here. It is an awesome place
Wish I could buy this place
if ur at enchanted forest you have to do the challenge of mondor or you cant give a full review, its the best part
The closest thing to a Disney experience in Oregon
This park is haunted. It was featured on the Travel Channel’s “Ghost Adventures”.
Sure it is buddy
Isn’t this place haunted or something? Maybe i’m mixing it up with another similar park
No I'm pretty sure you're right. I'm pretty sure some ghost hunting show visited it a while back.
Awsome video. I would really love to see a live stream tonight at 8pm EST, that would cheer my day up.
I’m offended that you think the haunted house wasn’t scary. I was terrified 😭😭😭😭
And to add to it looking European they even have a western themed area
I still maintain the Haunted House is scarier than Disneylands
White lightning or Mine blower
NEVER SIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LOG RIDE! You will get the most wet.
I think the prices r ridiculous
I mean if you can't get to Efteling I'm sure this is good enough lol
I definitely would say if they wanted to have a little something for everyone they could add a little bit bigger roller coasters for the adults to enjoy
0:47 you mean 50 years old
This kind gives me Great Escape vibes, just more in the woods, am I the only one who thinks that?
You should try sneaking in at night
Way more fun....lots of ghosts
Imagine tripping acid going to this place
I park as weird as Portland
bit like efteling
Apparently the park is haunted.
