"Like my Ex-girlfriend's heart"
BRO THAT'S SO FUNNY WHY DID NOBODY LAUGH
I can not believe he did not get a reaction to that XD great one :D
I laughed 😂
@@jyvoid7052 Maybe it’s the first thing you said
The pig with wings is probably a tribute to "Ralph The Swimming Pig" who used to be an attraction in San Marcos
Hooray Bobby, you saved the pig!
Josh Knows - Ralph used to swim at the underwater theater with the mermaids and everyone. Great times!
Aquarena Springs!
The young man giving the cave tour seemed very nice-thanks, Jacob!
I'm actually from San Marcos, Tx and man you just hit me in the feels with this video amazing work brotha!!! Cant wait for more videos!!!
Fun Fact: His sideburns run his Etsy shop.
Like I've said in the past, I love binge watching your videos after a long week at work! Keep up the great work!
I be been there. Never done the caves. We enjoyed it. I’m from Magnolia Texas😎🤠👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The arcade games were frickin' sweet...🤘🏼 The cave looked really awesome...👍🏼 The Caveman wasn't lying about it being the best attraction...💯✔️
the fact that this is just something i pass every day on the road, but you see it as a tourist attraction is so weird to me.
that tour guide was one of the great ones
San Marcos has so many cool things, really the whole area does!
We love our town
While you were throwing a coin in the pool, I think I heard the tour guide starting to talk about the "Rock of Many Names" (Every time somebody hits their head on it, it gets a new name.)
As a kid when we were on our way to South Padre Island I always wanted to stop here, but we never stopped. Thanks for letting me see what it is like.
Wonder world is wonderful!!
That diehard game was one of the only machines in the mini arcade by the pool where I grew up.. so many memories. Glad you played a lil bit of it!
Another fabulous video tour, thank you Carpetbagger 💖
I miss hitting roadside attractions. Thankfully, Jacob has us covered.
This really was old school. Hope your wish came true. Caves are always interesting. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well ❤
It’s okay, I also rank mild on most people’s love meter.
Ty from small town for visiting us
I's cool that they put wings on Ralph. I used to go there (Aquarena Springs) when I was a kid.
Sometimes I feel like I can imagine I’m in the 80s I love that 2021 is bringing back arcades like the good old old ones. In like malls and stuff like that
Right? I love it too! My area (before covid) had several arcades open and it warms my heart.
@@Mossfaerie yep true
I think that's the most spacious Mystery House you've been in.
Glad your in Texas! San Antonio here, am I the only one who replayed the part where the cave tour guide said "You can also find then in my "Ex girlfriend's heart"?? 😂😂💀
Wow! I've lived in san mo for 4 years and never visited this place! I'll have to check it out one of these days! 😁❤
I love the videos that you make. It's always fresh and great to watch.
I lived 15 minutes from here for over ten years and never visited! The caves look incredible
great video. I used to love places like this when i was a kid and we would go on family road trips. just the random road side attractions. also that die hard game took so many of my coins back in the 90s they had one at our local water park here in Utah and when we needed a break from the sun and water we would go in and play.
Great video again Jacob thanks for sharing
7:25 Die Hard Arcade is a classic! It was the reason why I got a Sega Saturn. It came out in late 1996 I believe. Then in Spring of 1997, it came out for the Sega Saturn. Looks like your playing a custom version of it. I know you were only using one hand to play it but with two, you can pull off some awesome moves!!!!
What a great way to start the day.
Went here when I was a kid. Love seeing this so many years later
Still an awesome local attraction
Jacob, I'd definitely recommend a place called Wooky Hole, it's an attraction based in the South West British county of Somerset and starts with a cave tour and after that there is a dinosaur park area, plus there's also other things such as a mirror maze
When I think of "Wonder World" I think of that fictional theme park in Beverly Hills Cop 3 (they used Great America in Santa Clara, CA.)
Loved how the animals came alongside the train.
This was the coolest episode: “Careful Mr. Emu, you're tearing my bag!” 😂😂😂
Im so happy your in Texas. This helps me see places I can visit in my free time. 🥰
You should visit the dinosaur park in Bastrop Texas 😁 you seem to be close by, It's a classic that I recommend!
I lived in Texas all my life and still have not visited this place. I drove past it many times. I have visited Aquarena Springs in San Marcos back in the late 60s and early 70s with the underwater ballet and swimming pig.
Fun fact: the Cave used to be called the “Hell Mouth” because settlers believed it was a gate to hell. San Marcos has a lot of history 17th century and beyond.
Classic. This place is so awesome, great video. Thats the perfect length for a cave tour in my opinion.
Wow, there's a lot going on over there. That's funny that the fainting goats no longer faint. They should be called The Animals Formerly Known As Fainting Goats.
Very chill and happy little place.
Hi Jacob, you have to go to Snow’s BBQ in 516 Main St, Lexington, TX 78947. Its less than 2h from Wonderworld. Its one the best BBQ in the Country
Reliving my childhood I grew up over there went to this and the old aquarena springs so long ago!! You should check out devil's backbone! Its just a back road but it's haunted and has gorgeous views of Texas Hill country
This guy needs more love
Very cool. Jacob you may be the only soul in the U.S. to not have seen Die Hard lol
A true roadside attraction
Excellent place to visit, loved the anti gravity house, and those little baby goats 🤗, thankyou Jacob x
Brings back memories of childhood road trips across Texas. Loved that place as a kid. That and Aquarena Springs, which used to also be in San Marcos.
FYI to you vacation blog guys. Casa Magnetica at Six Flags over Texas got a remodel and will be opening soon. It's the oldest attraction at the park and hasn't been open to the public sense 2011, for the 50th anniversary. Before that it wasn't open after 2007.
Also, the worlds 1st log ride, same park, known as flume 1, is reopening this year. They're currently repairing it. The last time flume 1 was operational was 2018.
I haven’t been there yet. I want to see Wonder World and the state of Texas as a whole! 👍🏻👍🏻
Be ready to drive a lot because this great state of Texas is ginormous
Mystery house reminds of wonder spot that used to be at Wisconsin dells in the 90s
Welcome to the Austin area!! I’ve lived in Texas for 6 years now and have never been to natural ridge caverns or wonder world. It’s so fun to see what it’s all about!
am i the only one who would love to see a video just on the gift shops haaha
🥰 cute friendly animals
Love that place Jacob,reminds me of a place in Jersey called Turtle Back Zoo..... and 1980s Great Adventure Safari...Thanks for bringing back old memories. ..
What a cool place 😊👍
Never saw a bathroom with 4 and a half stars before...Three tops!
I Live about 30 mins from San marcos and I didn't know wonder world was there. The family and I need to visit. I enjoy your videos, good work
Love your videos ❤️
Enjoyed replay thanks 😊
My dream list of places I want to go gets longer every time I each one of your videos
Thanks you my friend
So upset, the day I have to work! Your in my town😭😭
That was very cool
Childhood memories coming in ☺️☺️☺️
Thanks Jacob, what a cool little attraction.
I remember going there several years ago, and it was fun! Watching your video made me relive that moment!
Just LOVE baby goats..
I have been there and it is very Beautiful and it very good value for what you get
Love your videos, they always make me smile and it’s always a bonus learning about different things from around the world. Hope you’re staying safe and having a good day 😊 xXx
Hi rosebud, great vlog as always.
The tower reminds me of the tower at Forest Glen Preserve located outside of Georgetown in Vermilion county Illinois. This tower does not have an elevate but it is well worth the 72ft clime.
The great town of San Marcos. My 5th great grandfather was a co-founder. See the name Sessom Dr and Sessom Creek. Named for him Michael Sessom a Texas Ranger
In 1960 my family stopped at what was then only called "Wonder Cave", after a barrage of roadside signs on our trip to San Antonio.....My father expecting stalactites and stalagmites was unimpressed, and declared Wonder Cave just a hole in the ground....and for the rest of the trip he kept repeating what became the catch phrase for that family vacation, "Gee, I WONDER why we stopped at WONDER CAVE...?"....(Though in reality, we had a lot of fun there, and for a little kid it seemed like huge cavern, stalactites or not....!!)
Thanks 😊
I used to live a block from there. San Marcos TX is a fun place. Too bad Aquarena Springs is gone and the diving pig
That was a really cool attraction. Thanks Jacob!
Carpetbagger, great LIVE chat in Slow Mode last night from The Haunted Bunker..
Thanks
Definitely interesting.
16:00 "Stopping questing it and play my boy"
I was jus telling a buddy we both born and raised in San Marcos Tx but we were talking about how wonder world was still open?! I only went maybe 2 but 1x I remember on a field trip like 2nd grade lol... I still stay here gotta take my kids! There’s a lil more than what I remember... I really don’t remember the arcade games but maybe mom didn’t give me money so I jus avoided it 😂... love to see my City get love tho!!!
the anti-gravity machine XD
Meowwolf has a new attraction
I recently watched "Die Hard" for the first time; I'm 30.
I have agoraphobia and your videos make my day. :) Thank you for being you.
that tour guide was great
Great place 👌👍😃
Wish I knew you were in town, I woulda shown you around San Marcos, hope you had fun here. Thanks for stopping by.
Good morning carpetbagger. I really enjoyed this video. I used to live in the next town over from San Marcos. What a beautiful little city. And the San Marcos River is the most awesome River you will ever float in. Sometimes I wish I could return. Enjoy your visit. Piece brother
Love it. I grew up in Michigan and they’re is an awesome roadside attraction in Onsted Michigan that my dad always took me to called Mystery Hill where they have anti gravity stuff and water flows uphill. Definitely worth checking out.
Jacob, have you ever been to the Stoogeum in Ambler, Pennsylvania? Obviously a museum about the 3 Stooges. Unfortunately their website says they are closed "for now" due to the pandemic. Something you may want to keep your eye on for a future visit, if they ever reopen.
I had to stop and replay you saying you have never seen Die Hard. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
love your videos !
I’ve always wanted to go there! Glad to see a video for it!
Die Hard is a Christmas movie.
I remember coming here many many years ago
Live right down the road. I'm disturbed by the petting zoo and can safely say I will never go to this debacle. Thanks for doing it for me
