The irony of Amish robots
Ha! Good point
I have never heard of this amusement park before, but now I want to go to it 😃!
Used to live in this area, visited the park several times back in the early 2000's. Fun little spot.
The Dino with the buttons has excactly the same roar as Godzilla
I went there when I was little
I love older themed parks. I must say; your driving needs improvement. 😂🤣. That was funny. God bless you jacob and mrs bagger.
“There goes the monorail”
Our zoo has the same train
It’s called a “ quilting bee” when the women get together to quilt!
Hi grandma
The look on your face when you said "That was unnecessary." 😂😂😂 And then BAGGERS HERE!!! 😂 I've also got my fingers crossed for more of that Cartoon Network hotel. As usual, good job.
I couldn't help see the irony in animatronic Amish family scenes.....
We live 2 hours away from Dutch Wonderland from our home in Marlton, NJ. We went by Dutch Wonderland, but haven’t been there. Also, if you’re ever hungry for a buffet, go to Shady Maple in East Earl, PA. They have really good food and been there for my birthday loads of times. 🐉🐉
Millers was nice too. Never went to sgady maple, but want to go
@@pika23 I've been to Miller's before Pika. You definitely go to Shady Maple if you got the chance.
Loooove Shady Maple! We went to Miller's a few weeks ago, it was fine, but nothing compares to Shady Maple. It is truly remarkable.
Nice
@@ElyseExplosion Me too Elyse!
Thanks for posting this. My grandparents lived in the area, so they took us there a few times in our childhood.
I remember the park having a more fairy tale theme, with recreations of fairy tales in the windows, instead of Amish scenes. Also, there was a boat ride in the rear of the park, that took you past nursery rhyme characters.
I remember milking the cow and going in the Wonder House. You were right, the house does spin around you, while you remain stationary.
There used to be a really cool log flume ride, that had a tunnel you would go under, after the last drop.
Pretty interesting about the Cartoon Network motel. I'm going to have to learn more about that. I wonder if that's on the old Wax Museum property? It's been years since I've been back. Miss ol' Route 30!
Glad i'm nit the only one that remembers the log flume 😅 I thought I was mistaken for a minute. Never rode it when I was a kid though
I remember in the 90s there were different architectural models of famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and tower of Pisa back with the gondola ride along with a little Ferris wheel
We now need a quilting dark ride.
With random blasts of compressed air. I'd love to see Jacob visit that one.
26:10 “Bagger is here!” That was great 🤣
hahaha
Loved it! 😂😂
In the early 70s swan boats were in the lake, where the dragon is now. I have a picture of me in swan boat, with the monorail track in the background.
In the 80s they swapped the swan boats for a Flintstones theme
I was there in the early 80s and I remember riding the swan 🦢 boats. I also remember coloring in a coloring book on the trip there when we got back to the station wagon my crayons were all melted because it was so hot that day! LOL
Me too
Over the years they changed the boats out for different types. Been going there since 1967, took my kids and then my grandkids.
There used to be a big sign in book in the gift shop area and you would out your name and where you were from. Wonder if they kept them.
Dunno how long you're in the area, but Roots (pronounced "Ruts") Farmer's Market is open Tuesdays. Get yourself a stickybun for the road. :9
I probably will never be able to visit that area, but if I ever did, I'm glad I will know how to pronounce it. Thanks.
My hometown! I worked there years ago as a ride operator! I most often drove the monorail (it's a LOT of fun!), as well as the tram that took people around the parkinglot, but they also liked to put me on the skyride, the carousel, and the Dutch Wonder House. The Wonderhouse was done by hand instead of a push button so it had a technique to it. Because it's about 15 degrees higher inside and the house spins, if it was too hot outside they'd close it for the day (or if someone threw up in it).
You know whats weird? I used o be a rideoperator and monoraildriver in an American themed park in the Netherlands! This park is like a weird mirror image of where i used tot work.
My hometown too. Don't you also hate it when people pronounce it "LAN kaster" instead of the proper "lank uh stir"?
I'm in Retail and Games, I was trying to see if I was in the video
I remember going to this theme park all the time when I was young!
Funny enough, last week I was telling my family, "You know, of all the places we've been to that the Carpetbagger has been to, he hasn't been to Dutch Wonderland." Hours later, this happens. Love your stuff, Jacob!
If you're gonna visit Bubba Bear and the Badland Band at Dutch Wonderland, you gotta see Rocky and the Railroad Ramblers at Gillian's Wonderland Pier. They're made by the same company only Rocky and the Railroad Ramblers is a Pizza Time Theatre retrofit!
Rocky and the Railroad Ramblers was retrofitted by different people, Sally only produced and programmed showtapes for them
@@themr_meisterr9884 that’s what I meant, which is why I still said it’s a pizza time theatre retrofit
Another great park, and with a monorail, you got pretty soaked Jacob, luckily beautiful weather, another 👍🏻vlog , Thankyou x 😁
I was disappointed there wasn't a dark ride or walk through haunted attraction.
This park is really meant for little kids...Hershey or Dorney have stuff for adults. Dark rides and all...and are within an hour of driving.
Good and Plenty for Amish home style food and service.
Damn, Jacob, you’re really hitting it out of the park. So to speak.
Ok, like 5 people have told you how to pronounce Lancaster and they are all different pronunciations. 🤔🤔🤔🥴
It’s my life 😂
“There goes the monorail”. Oops! Sorry. Wrong TH-camr lol 😂
I said the same thing when I saw it so you're not alone. Adam has so many great phrases.
You should go to Storybook Land, I love it so much till this day, especially all the fairytale animatronics 😭❤️
Dutch: "I have a plan!" Arthur: "What is it now, Dutch?'
That is an awesome place. Great video. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe. Stay blessed
I've never seen this place before so this was cool. I had my fingers crossed that there was a Dutch Dark Ride, but no luck I guess.
Jacob, have you ever lost a Croc on a ride?
We prefer to pronounce it Lank-is-Ter here in our area. Lol
The purple dragon looks like it’s about to vomit.
honestly, depends on the Amish person. really strict sects, they generally don't like photos but might consent if asked. the Amish family I know...they're a little less strict, and have more dealings with the outside world through the father's tack business...but they don't have a ton of modern electronics in their house, just the phone in Danny's workshop. The buggies in most Amish communities I've been through have battery operated turn signals attached too...for everyone's safety.
I mean, it's generally good practice and good manners to ask before taking someone's photo anyway...
I definitely agree with asking first. I live out here and sometimes its ok to take pictures if your a tourist but other times its plain weird. You wouldn't want someone taking pictures of your kids while there at school or while there playing outside but for some reason it is common practice for people to do that to the amish. Always try to ask first and think of the inverse. Now if they are in buggies they usually don't care as long as your not overly impeding traffic or trying to ride next to them to "get a better shot".
I may be mistaken but At 21:10 I believe the dinosaur is doing a great vocal impersonation of 1970's Godzilla.
If the dragon 🐉 bothers you give hime about $3.50
Goddamn Loch Ness Monster! I ain't Givin you no tree fiddy!
Panda bears do eat honey when it is available, I googled it and learned something new! Btw you have to try Shady Maple, it's a really great Amish buffet...we drive from NY for the day whenever we can, so worth it
Every time we went to Lancaster, my parents would take me to Dutch Wonderland. That was back in the 1970's. I loved that place...
1970s* No apostrophe in plurals. :-P
@@englishatheart yes there is !!!
I always wanted to go here as a kid, I kinda want to go here now even though I'm 36... With no kids
Do it 🙂
Me to and I'm older than you. 😂
I do all the time and I’m 45!! Never too old!!
Wow, been a long time since I've been here, used to go all the time as a kid. Still have their dragon mascot as a plush somewhere lol. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for making these videos they are a godsend.
As a Dutch person, this was curious
Ik vraag me af waar de naam vandaan komt.
@@Sweettweety666 blijkbaar noemen ze het daar Dutch country en komt het van Duitsers of in elk geval Duitstaligen.
Lijkt niet echt iets Nederlands in te zitten
@@Masada1911 Onder mijn reactie is het uitgelegd. ;-)
*I SWEAR THAT DRAGON SAID HEY WHATS UP AFTER YOU SAID HEY BUDDY ON THE MONORAIL* 🚝
Maybe not..but I heard sum like it 😂 😂
Those weren’t pandas they were Dutch bears and that was nog honey it was the blood of the earth which the giant Dutch bees must bring to the surface to appease their such bear masters . This is how coffee was invented .
Oh my stars, "That was unnecessary" 🤣🤣🤣 I don't know how you didn't swear 🤣🤣 loved the Baggers here too, you are So loved Carpetbagger 💖💖💖
I think they sampled Godzilla's roar for the Parasaurolophus
It's funny the most technological section of the park is the Amish dioramas.
Damn,I always used to go there as a kid. This was a real nostalgia trip for me.
If you're still in the Lancaster area, HIGHLY recommend the Family Cupboard for dinner. Get the buffet. :9
Another gentle FYI: it's pronounced "Lenkister". ;)
Make sure you get some scrapple it’s really good.
Uhhh.... the animatronic band.... what the heck... how is that blatant racist stereotyping allowed?
Also the fibreglass Amish people.... so odd.
Great video , just what an odd place
my 5 year old loves your videos he watches them with me all the time
OMG IVE been desperate for you to come to our neck of the woods forever 🥲
I was there once as a kid...didn't remember much about it, was wondering if it still existed. Would love to go back there again...Strasburg Railroad Museum, Choo-Choo Barn (the entire Lancaster area in miniature), Good 'n Plenty Restaurant (family style dining).
Most Amish don't allow their picture to be taken, but the more progressive sometimes do.
Thank you Jacob, we always enjoy your videos. I am Dutch but I live in the U.S so it's always interesting to see a Dutch reference popping up! Although in this case I think it might have more to do with the Pennsylvania Deutsch. (German settlers) Much appreciated looking forward to the next one!
No apostrophe in plurals. It's "videos." No hate meant, just letting you know, as I see it all the time. As a writer, I'm super annoying about it. 😂
@@englishatheart Thanks, I fixe'd it. (
@1:20 mono means one and rail means rail
i think the amish quilting animatronics bought a tear to jacobs eye.
I used to work there as a ride operator they treat their employees like shit and barely pay us and we can go hours in the sun without a break or a water refill definitely one of the worst jobs I’ve ever had
I love PA! Such a pretty state with fun amusement parks and attractions!
The bull was ...a choice. I mean that indigenous accent
Im native american and i dont mind it at all. And FYI the tauren tribe in WoW are base on the Native American tribes and are nomads. I hate when white people act offended for Native Americans. Im an indian and proud of it.
Consider the target audience there🗿
Growing up 30 min east of Lancaster, Dutch Wonderland was a fun place for the whole family. I remember the boat ride had a Flintstones theme. I'll put my two cents for restaurant recommendations: Miller's buffet is the best!
The Amish believe that there is no good reason for a photograph, and that it is just vanity. Or so I was told by them.
Now I kind of agree with that, looking at all the selfies swirling on the internet.
Beautiful old-style park again Jacob. Although so far, half through the video, I haven't encountered much to explain why it is "Dutch" wonderland. Quickly on with the second half!
Sitting on the front row of a dive and splash show Jacob, and looking very surprised and sad when it is all over! Very funny!
Most likely called Dutch Wonderland because Lancaster is known s "Amish Country", and the Amish speak Dutch (and English). Please don't come at mw if anyone finds me wrong 😅
@@hooves2noodles_art That's nice to know Kat, thank you!
It's great park for little kids also it's been awhile since I was there
Used to be a lot cooler before Hershey bought it and sold off a lot of the original displays.
2 great places to visit in pa American treasure tour museum in oaks, old sled works in duncannon
All the rides are powered by Amish people running on giant hamster wheels
Wonder House is a haunted swing. Yes, it gives the illusion of the room revolving over and under you, while the seating section moves less than 50 degrees. If you go to Six Flags New England, they have one named Houdini - the Great Escape. The later is a Madhouse model by Verkona.
They have a similar attraction at Clark’s Trading post in NH as well
Fin and Jake at the end tho 0w0
And he soaked
Oof
What was that about? At the vary end-
Sounds like someone said: baggers here
Loving this run of theme parks, large and small 👍
Well... That was not what i expected from a park called Dutch wonderland.
Park mainly for little kids pretty much
When the boat on the purple dragon ride would go in the cave the dragons egg used to be in there and it use to scare me when I was younger because I thought the dragon was mad at me for being close to the egg 😅
I wish you made it to Dutch Wonderland last year, because last year was the last year of the Astroliner spaceship, one of the best rides ever at Dutch Wonderland.
It may return ;)
You pronounced lancaster wrong. Its LAN KISS TER.
Lol you can’t drive a normal car. Lol. I’ve seen you drive.
Hey thanks for SHARING, I always wanted to go there as a little kid but unfortunately never got there. 😁👋
That place looks quite boring tbh!!!!
Not what I expected when I heard it was "Dutch" Wonderland but interesting all the same. Keep Safe❤Keep Well ❤
Great video. Now I know where all the DInsiaurs Alive dinosaurs from Cedar Fair parks went.
great channel!
You are correct about the Wonder House. Now I have not been in it for many decades, but you would sit on a swinging bench. The room would then start to rotate and in no time, you are clinging to the bench because you start to feel as if the bench is turning upside down while the room is standing still. You hold on for dear life thinking you are the one going upside down.
Good idea for amusement park of 90s cartoon movies
A water hose in the Dragons mouth that can shoot water out.
Monorail 🚝 from the Simpsons
No masks? That is interesting.
Did you do great adventure in New Jersey
Fun video, looks like the paparazzi caught up to you there.
It’s so much FUN to ride along with you, Jacob. Your commentary and videography are so good. Thanks! Have a great Summer! 👍 🇺🇸 ♥️
"That was unnecessary." just killed me...
The front of a bulldozer is a bucket or a scoop
I haven't been here since I was a kid. The smell of the cave on the log flume was always wild.
You are “were” right around the corner.
I love the bit where you can control the dinosaurs movements, that's just awesome 😍
Thanks 😊 for the video ... you should go to the Huntsville Alabama space and rocket center....
As a Dutch woman (living in the Netherlands) I am asking myself why this park called 'Dutch wonderland'... Can anybody tell me the history of this park and his name?
It’s a reference to the “Pennsylvania Dutch” also known as “Amish” who actually emigrated from Germany, it’s actually very confusing 😀
@@TheCarpetbaggerThat was why it confusing me, I know that the Amish came from Germany. You Americans always think that Germany and The Netherlands are one...😤🤣
Pennsyvanians pronounce Lancaster, lane ca ster. you are welcome.
I know a douche with the last name Lancaster, and he pronounces it "Lan-cast-er."
Have You ever been to any Family Fun Attractions or Events in Minnesota?❤️📺🎶
It's cool to see how much has changed since I was a kid.
Oh and… love the random hum you did at 18:14. Classic.
My family and I have been there so many times over the years. We’ve all grown up and retired and moved away,, so it was so nice to see it once again.
Thanks for the memories Jacob !!! I had a blast ✌🙂
