Thanks for delving into the overwhelming world of Dragon Con with me . Trying to get to a couple other downtown things outside the convention but the black hole of nerdy is strong. Only another day or so and back to basics
DragonCon makes for some of the best people watching ever! Thank you for allowing us to come along. My husband and I love watching your videos!
the cartoon network bears thing is a show called we bare bears and the show is located in San francisco....where u currently am
+random nobody I am
I love seeing the different costumes! I used to love Alf! I named my Guinea pig after him. Haha
That was crazy busy over there. Stay safe my friend.
Sid & Marty Krofft - The Best Thing to Ever Happen to Saturday Mornings!
I feel sorry for the people who work in those hotels. Holy crap that's a lot of people! Thanks for braving the crowds and taking us with you on this journey, Adam.
Adam,
I use to work for the person who designed the Fantastic World of Sid & Marty Krofft. I helped him put together a Documentary DVD on it's history. It was a coll project to work on. His name is Stephen P. Ehlers.
That is way to many people for me...at least for Dragon Con or the like. But I'm glade you took the time to show us. Thank you Mr. The Woo.
its out of control
Couldn’t possibly do that, but it is interesting to see, especially relaxing back in my lounge.
You're making me feel nostalgic. My buddy worked in that building and we'd meet there and eat at Chick-Fil-A in the food court before heading to a Falcon's game. We'd all go down to DC for the day and it wore us out, but it's great fun.
We were wagering on FB about where you were headed next. Many guessed Disney World with Tim.
I have so many memories in the Omni/CNN center. Ran Into Ray Harryhausen in 82 or 83. I first saw The Beast Master at the theater that is no longer there. The Last Battle of Atlanta was in the Omni before it became the Phillips Arena.
very cool !
The Sid & Marty Kroft part was amazing. Very cool. Thank you for filming these.
so CNN is on area that used to be a Theme Park that says so much now
Thanks for the video again, Adam! Got a big smile on my face when you filmed the parade, and the truck with the "KISS" chicks rode past. The one standing up, giving a big thumbs up is a friend of mine... :-D Have fun at the rest of the con!
Thank you for letting us hang out with you everyday!
Adam, thank YOU for bringing us along. Your daily vlogs are a positive part of our daily lives, something we look forward to. So thank you Sir for what you do.
thanks for watching
Wow! That was unbelievable. I've never seen that many people in any one place, in my entire life. Truly amazing Adam. I don't think that we could have done it. You are a real trooper, to endure the crowds, for your fans.
Worked at CNNi for two years and was always hunting for traces of the theme park, which was a bit of an urban legend, since the Internet didn't really exist at that point. Cool building, but never found any remnants. Ted Turner wiped the place clean!
Thanks for sharing the DC adventure! Btw, I've started watching TDW going back to day 1. I'm truly amazed that you've been posting a vlog everyday for over 3 years. You have traveled to soooo many places. Remarkable!
Falcor within the first minute? Absolute perfection! That is two days of Neverending Story characters in a row! Thanks, Adam!
Kudos to you for handling all those people and madness , I would be having extreme panic attacks !
I remember the skating rink as a kid. By the time we moved to Atlanta only the carousel remained from the park
Thanks Adam for helping us see the world through your eyes. I never heard of places like pigeon forge or heard of dragon con until your videos. Now I have some vacation ideas. Found you and Justin Scarred on CZcams about a year ago and have watched you both almost daily with my wife and kids. Keep up the great work!
My grandmother used to take us to an indoor amusement park called Peppermint Park in South East Texas. It was a bunch of rides in an old grocery store. It's long been closed but I'll never forget that place.
Part of the opening to the Krofft Supershow was filmed in there. As I understand it, the theme park was expensive and downtown Atlanta in the 1970s was not a safe place for people to bring their families.
Just want to say thank you for letting the people like us that dream of being in your position, live the adventures through your videos. If not for you, "The Woo", we would not be able to see and experience so many places. Side note, The reason I personally choose to live vicariously through you, is the kindness that always festooned through your vlogs, it's just majestic. I'm slowly adjusting my life to soon start my own vlog. With that being said, if your ever in the nether regions of South Louisiana, let me know and I will show you a few of my secret locations that only a couple lucky people know of. Stay safe at Dragoncon. Vlog......Over.
Glad you're having fun. Just looking at the crowds invoked anxiety in me. Love you too!
Haven't been to ATL since the early-mid 90's when my dad lived there. It was crazy back then. He used to get me cheap flights from Jax to Atl to go visit him. Good times, but yeah even when there isn't a convention going on it's a busy town. Thanks for sharing!
It's not forgotten! All of us who work there know about it and the tour even mentions it! There even used to be an ice skate arena that was turned into a sunken studio where the atrium is now! Sid and Marty, where are thee? Enjoy Atlanta, couldn't get me near it this weekend, and I really do work in CNN Center... where the no photography signs are there is generally a studio right behind the glass, you were ok videoing in the public areas...
very cool thanks for the info
Looked at the comments to see if anyone who has been on the tour/ worked there said this! :) Glad you stopped by!
Your encounter with the unfriendly Alf was nothing short of hilarious. Asking him if he was getting all liquored up before he starts his cat hunting.... haha.
I can tell you exactly why the world of Sid & Marty Kroft closed. It sucked! They basically only had about 3 rides and no real theming. I remember going down to, what is now, CNN Center to go to the amusement park and to go ice skating. I am a native of Atlanta and definitely old enough to remember it all.
Yikes, the crowds would flip me out, I live in Idaho, and sometimes it is too busy here, but I am glad to see what happens outside my cave. Back in 74 Evil Knievel came here, and that was the most crazy people I have ever seen, yeah I am old.
Awesome coverage of this event Adam. Thanks for bringing it to us.
I've officially become addicted to your videos, and have donated to the cause 😊
thank you m3 . Glad you enjoy the videos
Don't forget a T-shirt or two , lol
I was just watching some old videos and I forgot how funny it was when you rode down the slide and crashed into oblivion. No joke, my stomach feels broken cause I laughed so hard.
Pretty much one of the only REAL bloggers left....doing what I wish I could do everyday....live life!!!
1526 vlogs without missing a day! That is freakin' impressive!
Thank you ..That was so much fun. Since I have found you, I have been soo many places I otherwise would have never seen. Ty...You are #1 in the world of Utube.
I feel like I am on vacation when I watch your vlogs. Super job, Adam. Thank you! Brightens my day.
Wholly Bat Cave, Wonder Bread! I cannot freakin believe you posted this Adam. I was born in 69 and my whole life I remembered this theme park, but alas, it was like a dream memory. I could remember it but because I was so young, I didn't know if it was really there or a dream. Right where your finger was pointing near the globe there was a dark ride, at the top of the escalator. This place was trippy to say the least! At least now after all these years I know that I am not crazy and this failed Sid and Marty Krofft Park really existed. I can truly once again "Sleep Well"
It might be just that I am sick with a cold right now but dude that was awesome. Your videos are getting better!!!! I enjoyed the old exploration ones of closed down theme parks as well but your videos lately have been great.
Dragon Con is crazy! I definitely wouldn't be able to handle the crowds! Atlanta is crazy enough as it is! Enjoying your vlogs Adam! You're passion for what you do really comes through! This is your calling. Keep doing what you do!
So much delight for the eyes! Dragon con is on my bucket list for sure. Thanks for sharing the experience with us Mr Woo!
Wow I was at the CNN Center months ago and didn't even know it was a theme park - Nice information adam !!!
wow dragon con looked intense! not sure I could have handled the crowds. thanks for braving it for us and taking us on the journey. can't wait to see where we are going next! happy travels x😊
You're awesome Adam!!!!
Thank you for taking us along to Dragon Con. It's much nicer experiencing it from the comfort of my couch.
Thank you for these videos. Can't get enough. Thanks for what you do so well.
The best part of waking up, is Adam the Woo, NOT Folgers!
You may enjoy the "Atlanta Movie Tours". :0) I have not been on it, but looks interesting! Have fun Adam! Thanks for the videos!
I remember HR Puff n Stuff! I watched it when I was little. There is no way I could spend time at Vid Con. Just too many people. Way too crowded! Thanks for another great vlog. Looking forward to more adventures on the open road!!!
I vaguely remember the 6 months this lasted. I lived nearby but it was closed before I got the chance to visit. A town is my town ❤
will ALWAYS STICK WITH YOU adam always have always will,its not just a channel to me its a way off someone's life that inspires me in every way keep it up bud really hope to meet you one day here in Florida,👊 see you in the next vlog
That's a lot of people, bet your ready to get back on the road! Love the videos and the petunias gets me everytime!
I never heard of this before . I never know the store about H&R puffnstuff story either and I live in GA . Thanks for sharing that .
Wow it was crazy all the people!!! Got my WOO fix for the day, thanks Adam you rock!!😀
I'm so glad that I'm not hallucinating and H.R Pufnstuf actually existed.

Love what you do, Adam! Keep keeping on! You are loved!!! 😘😘😘
Thank you for always thanking us! Have a happy Sunday !
That's amazing had no clue Sid & Marty had a theme park! Great tie in with the brochure!!! So interesting...
Missed a couple of days of TDW, all caught up, but felt lost. Keep up the work learning a lot.
Sid and Marty are my heroes its such a shame their theme park isnt there anymore
Ren and Stimpy was my favorite show as a kid, my dad would come it the room and sing along with the happy happy joy joy routine sometimes, damn time flies
Thanks Adam. I wasn't familiar with Dragon Con but looks like a great time, except for the herds of people. lol Stay hydrated out there, as I know you will with your water bottles. The Daily Woo is part of my day.
Though after about 2 years of following u I get and now enjoy cosplay. Thanks.
Stories of defunct amusement parcs are great! Thanks Adam for making my day again.
Holy cow The Krofft Bros had a theme park? Dang that would have been cool to see. Not only Puff but The Sea Monster, Bugaloos, Sleestaks... Can you imagine??? 💖💖💖💖 Thanks for that history. 👍👍👍👍👍
Looked so packed but the vendors always blow me away too. Such geeky goodness.
Great drawing too !!!!
Have fun today? And no costume? 😢 next year yes? 😉
You make such great use of the word festoon. I think I will adopt it into my daily vocabulary.
Great vid Adam!
Been really enjoying every day of your being back on the road!
watching everyday, been watching for years, keep up what ya do Adam me and my wife love your videos!
Lovin the Videos it was so good to See Cody it made me a little nostalgic for the old videos, Stay Safe have fun enjoy the holiday.
the good ole days
Good to see your coffee routine again! Ren & Stimpy, Monster Squad and Candy Corn!? Count me in! Thank you for the awesomeness, Woo!
Another look at a world I doubt I'll get to see. Great video Adam, keep it up as long as you want to and enjoy it all.
Good grief! I couldn't take that many people!
I was scrolling through the recommended videos for this video. You have made too many damn great videos!
That is so weird I have been singing H R PuffinStuff all day for no real reason before I seen this
I think the people in charge of the Dragon con need to scout out a much larger Venue in the future. I have never been to one but seems to be a lot of fun! Thanks for the great video's Adam your doing a great job!!!!
Many a summer ago I interned at CNN and used to walk underneath that escalator and globe daily. I had no idea of the theme park history that surrounded me! Mind blown.
oh wow my folks took me to this way back in the 70's . . .sid & Marty kroft! first memory was the escalator..
Love you too Adam!!! The Jay and Silent Bob Stormtroopers were a cool and unusual idea :-)
the Jay and silent Bob storm troopers made my night. Holy crap that was berzerker!
I wish the historical Theme park would be there. HR Pufnstuff , Sigmund the Sea monster and the other great shows they brought to life but, an entire theme park would have been Amazing. adamthewoo Love your videos.
Adam,been watching your videos for some time.I love them.Just subscribed.
festooning and majestic used in a single sentence. nicely played.
It's pretty cool to see videos of dragon con and see people who I've watched on CZcams for a while go to places near me. Feel pretty sad as an Atlanta native for never going.
Hi adam thanks for sharing your experiences with us loving every minute of them highlight of my day
Wow, that crowd is ridiculous! I'm glad you have survived it.
In 2015 a Dutch indoor amusement park called 'Yumble' opened. Believe it or not it didn't even last for 3 months. The rides that costed millions sold on an auction a year later for just a couple of thousand dollars a piece. The park didn't meet visitor's expectations and the entrance fee was way too high.
NICE! The World of Sid and Marty Krofft! I remember reading about it when I was a kid...the coolest feature was this ride which was a giant pinball machine and you could get inside a giant ball and ride it. I remember reading about the place , I think, in Dynamite Magazine! I always wondered what happened there...
Thanks for the wonderful videos!
Adam runs on Dunkin. New dunkin donuts slogan lol
this is great, looks like these past couple days you have been having some amazing fun
So close to being in the video! We were the group in the parade that was right behind the Star Wars marchers -- the Futurama Robot Santa group.
Great vlog, Adam! Those crowds would have overwhelmed me! Enjoy your time there! Stay safe. :-)
I grew up 40 miles from the WWSMK when it opened. Sad to say, I never got a chance to see it before it came and went.
Greetings from the UK, totally addicted to your channels,
Funny, I never realized how strange it must look to other people while Adam is talking to himself into his camera. Wonder how long it took him to become so comfortable with doing that in public? Great video as always, thanks for letting us tag along on all your adventures.
Thank you Adam for going to World of Sid and Marty Krofft location.... It should have succeeded.... it wouldhave been amazing to see... plus all that great merchandise
Around 3 minutes a saw the back of a Adam banks jersey from mighty ducks, what a majestic place.
Luved HR Puff-N-Stuff when a kid and had no idea about Sid And Marty Croft being in Atlanta.
Makes me happy to see so many Dawgs fans in one place other then a stadium, GO DAWGS
I am loving your Vlogs, Adam, they are really cool, I watch them religiously
I got my daily dose of The Daily Woo! Thanks, Adam!!!
Dragon Con looks a lot of fun but all those people! Loving these daily vlogs
That is just nuts!!!! Kudos to you Adam. They should move Dragon con to a bigger venue.
