I know it’s off topic but is Expedition Theme Park! allowed to use segments of other people’s videos on his channel without their permission?

Depends on how they're being used, which countries copyright laws he's invoking, and the countries where the content being used originates. For editorial of other people's content, this would generally be fine regardless of US or UK copyright laws. For use as stock footage whilst talking about a ride or park, this would typically not be fine, especially with UK copyright.

Some people allow this type of use for 'exposure' or because they couldn't care less. Other people understand exposure doesn't pay the bills, or take a general dislike to someone profiting off their work.

Coincidentally, I believe this is an area where TPW are very good in not using other people's content, except for park produced promotional material.

As I said, he also always gives credit in the description of his videos.

You did indeed. However the point I was making was that if he did not credit the videos, he still wouldnt have any problems for the most part, as they would fall under fair use. The nature of the videos he makes and they way he uses other peoples videos means he can fairly use them without giving credit. Credit is good though as it is in good taste. But you do not have to do it, you will not get a copyright strike. Anyway, I think this is for another topic lol.
 
Fair use usually applies if he is commenting/critiquing the video itself, or more of a grey area if using clips to fill a documentary. Usually the rule is it has to be an excerpt (not just playing the entire video/image) and it has to be used in a way that doesn't take revenue from the owner of the footage.

(UK government guidance)

For example all the YouTubers that downloaded that Alton Towers British Pathe video, fair use doesn't really apply because British Pathe make their revenue by licencing that video for documentaries, news reports etc. By just using it without a licence you're taking their revenue. They can ask for those clips to be removed, or put adverts on the video by YouTube automatically.

But if it's from a source that doesn't make its revenue by licencing the media, then it's fine as long as only excerpts are used. For example you can't watch a movie by watching clips in a movie review, you still have to go to the movie, so you're not taking any revenue there.

But still it's always good practice to ask first and give credit (or a link to the source). After all a channel like Expedition Theme Park is making a lot of money off just compiling clips online and reading Wikipedia, it's the least he can do to ask and play nice.
 
I assume she gets 2 days off a week and they aren't going on long holidays except the Europe one so I guess you do them over a weekend or the two days you get off.

I did like the old style Virginia Reel like ride at Joyland.

Got to say unlike Shawn don't think I would be able to get super excited by all the tiny little amusement parks he's going to now. But with Covid-19 restrictions I guess he's got to make the best of it. I'm not wishing I had gone to DLP earlier instead of booking for September and then having to cancel.

He's going to the smaller parks to support them, not just because he wants to visit. Got to give him credit for that. :)
