On vacation, tour guide asked everyone to go for a walk to see the stars. Threw me for a loop because, "we have stars at home". Didn't realize people hadn't ever seen a sky outside a city, just like people haven't operated farm equipment. I hope you reach clay you diggers!
also just a few miles from the former site of Action Mountain, a subsidiary of the notorious Action Park, which is now even more infamous as the site of drumpf national golf course lol
My sister is a teacher and sports coach at a school with an Indian name. my brother is a port authority cop. (delaware river port authority. basically the bridges between philly and new jersey) My mother was born in Cape May. my stepfather was a barnegat bay person. I grew up where Boost was in baby bottles. corn, tomatoes, blueberries, peaches. people just dont know.
Fair. However, as an adult I have learned to appreciate new experiences. If they don't live up to the hype of making me want to go often, then I can simply take the experience as a one time deal and take it as a life experience and be okay with it. I think it might be cool to go even as an adult.
Hell, if I wasn't in literal poverty I would say that you and I could go then we could make a feelgood imgur post about bros going to PA for a tractor theme park.

For an extra 20 bucks you can dig your own grave.
Aristocrats
That's taking self checkout too far.

Hey, brilliant comment. Keep up the good work.

Wait a minute. West Berlin isn't even in the US.

That’s like 10 minutes from where I live. Drive by there all the time. Place is packed in the summer.

Pricey or no?
Antinumeric

GravyEducation
Can you dig it?

Almost as popular as OP's moms theme park, the Dickherland.

There's a heavy equipment park in Tennessee near Pigeon Forge.

If I was in the area and had some cash, sure. Looks fun.
jcw99
Theres also 4 parks in the UK if that's closer
amp99
I've never wanted to go to a theme park as much as I want to go to this one.
TheWiseAlaundo
So like do New Zealanders and Aussies get in for free or what?
jcw99
Would be hilarious, but no "Digger" is a British colloquialism for an "Excavator" and this park chain started out in the UK

Honestly, as a 48 year old nurse, this place would make me so happy

So American that it's a copy of Diggerland in the UK, hence the JCBs.

As someone who has operated a handful of excavators and other heavy machinery, it's super fun, this looks sick as hell!!
SmashedYourGlasses
I bet it feels good to slot something in _exactly_ where it goes.
Neednoggle
It does! The precision work one can do with a telehandler is pretty impressive.

I grew up not too far from here, This is the heart of the Delaware Valley in South Jersey. On the way "down the shore", at the fringes of the Pines.
ronniefuckindobbs
also just a few miles from the former site of Action Mountain, a subsidiary of the notorious Action Park, which is now even more infamous as the site of drumpf national golf course lol
idrinkcheapbeer
when i see the action park memes, it's action mountain I remember. if anything, it was even worse. less oversight.
SmashedYourGlasses
Can you explain a few of those references? I'm curious.
idrinkcheapbeer
I could. Most are googleable.
ronniefuckindobbs
yeah, you definitely grew up in the area lol (i did too)

Sign outside park:
You must be *this* OSHA compliant to enter
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
Pfft. This is New Jersey, home of Action Park. We don' need no steenking OSHA!
Akurei00
Oh, yeah. Action Park. That's a good point... I may pass on Diggerland.
Gnakenheimer
First time I've heard about this and apparently there are 4 parks in the UK
InevitableBadger
I know it's really just JCB advertising, but I still want to go
Gnakenheimer
It does look like a fun place to visit ngl
Antinumeric
Went to a UK one and TBH it mostly seemed to be Komatsu
jcw99
Youp, Durham, Kent, Yorkshire and Devon. Been to the Yorkshire one before and it was surprisingly fun.

Went there on a school trip in year 6. It was what I believe the youth of today would call lit!

"Digga" means "bro" in German.

Its also the common way to say "Excavator" in the UK where this group/park chain started
MrFuzzyBlumpkin
Digger please.

OHHHHHHHHHH SHOOOOOOOOOTTTT!

Honestly looks kinda cool.
PirateRubberDuck
It is fun. I have been to one in the UK. Kids had a great time too.
drizztx
At first, I was like, "OMG that's ridiculous." By the end, I was like, "I kinda wanna go there."
SmashedYourGlasses
So many attractions. It really does look pretty cool.
IMakeLotsOfReferencesAndRemakes
Please let everything be powered by electric though. Otherwise this is lung cancer park.
jcw99
Been to one in the UK where they started out. Actually surprisingly fun.... though that might just be the tism speaking
Snooj
I was grinning like an idiot the whole time. My son would have loved that when he was little.
nation543
Maybe he still will?
Snooj
The theme is amazing but the rides would be a lot cooler if you were a little kid and hadn't been to Disney and Universal several times.
