Instagram - AdamTheWooATW Thanks for watching my videos. I enjoy putting these out and showing my day and glad so many pop in to check them out .

[@bethturner4070]

Adam, "off the rails" is salvageable. 2:03 🤔 It's when "the wheels fly off" that you have to worry... 🤗

[@neccros007]

Friend of mine has arcade cabs there.

[@micksimmonds]

Nice to see free play continue to grow, makes me feel old seeing it hit 10 years, recall when it was just a idea between friends :)

[@Sam-02024]

Your vlogs are appreciated! "Moments with Kool" reminded me of SNL's "Deep Thoughts" by Jack Handey 😂

[@DianaLynne-27]

I enjoy all your videos Adam. You do an awesome job showing all these interesting places. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Keep on bringing your videos. Love watching👍

[@theathjr]

Splorin Ryan and Greg are awesome. Such cool dudes that know ALOT about vintage stuff. Great vlog Adam.

[@JohnRiggs]

Always good to see you!

[@GeorgeGeo]

Pissed I miss this every year.. Adams Family and Funhouse (yells "Hey You!" when you walk by it) are my all time favorite pinball machines.

[@edklamp]

Great to meet you Adam! Thanks for stopping to take a picture!

[@samilt13]

I love your laugh!!! It makes me chuckle. Thank you. We all need more laughter.😊

[@LameGenie]

Awesome meeting you my man!

[@jlegs71]

Hey Adam I'm here from California visiting my daughter in Lakeland and yesterday as I passed up Celebration. I had to take a picture as I thought of you. Well it's kind of a given anytime I visit here I have to take a picture of Celebration and hopefully one day cruise through there. I hope to see you sometime whether in California, Celebration, Lakeland, Walt Disney world, anywhere.

[@Daveandjeannerose]

Hi Adam, a great video! Atari was in our youth, our favorite game! Telling how old we are! Thank you for sharing this with us! It was awesome to see! Have a wonderful, magical, and blessed week ❤ Bizebeegranny Jeanne and Dave Rose ❤

[@DocDoccus]

Nice to see Greg's Game Room get major props.

[@GregsGameRoom]

“It’s a major award!”

[@RobbyRetro]

Always great to see you and honored to be in The Daily Woo!!

[@alessandrapreziusohammrich819]

Thank you I gave a ton to catch up on your channel I'll be sitting here few hours ❤

[@onedrrgames]

Love that you made it to Free Play this year! Our indie game booth, Little Monster, was there this year! We actually arrived an hour late due to the traffic.

[@kilroyfrance]

Thanks for the different types of content. I personally really like the fact that you included, carpetbagger. And when you laughed at him, contorting to the women’s side of the listening device in the tower, made me laugh also.

[@supersecretplayer]

Car accident on I4. Someone passed away. I saw it on my way to Disney yesterday morning.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Seems to be happening more and more on i4 .

[@ScottG91]

Congrats Gregg on the award, awesome

[@vacation_fun_makers]

I miss the pinball arcades from back in the 80s we had an arcade in White Oaks Mall in London called the Wiz

[@TheDailyWoo]

Pinball is so much fun

[@vacation_fun_makers]

@@TheDailyWoo sure is I learned to play as a kid while in hockey rinks watching my dad play and then before my own games and practices. I prefer pinball over other video games.

[@papayaboat1780]

Dude, The Wiz is one of my favorites, you are so lucky to have seen it in person!

[@vacation_fun_makers]

@@papayaboat1780 we loved the wiz back in the 80s walk in the smoke filled arcade stack of quarters and nothing but time it was awesome

[@patricktyler4303]

I-4 was close due to car crash which an off-duty firefighter from polk county passed away.

[@RobbyRetro]

Great hanging with Greg, Ryan and Josh too!!

[@GregsGameRoom]

You know it buddy!

[@SplorinRyan]

Long overdue brother

[@dragonosx]

I agree thrift stores used to be better years ago. I used to find good stuff almost every time I went, now I almost never see anything worth picking up. Now I think some of the thrift stores list items on ebay themselves rather than put them in the stores.

[@Mszahnclass95]

i agree

[@dragonsmaiden00]

YAYYYY! Doing all my favorites today, well most of them..lol thanks for the flashbacks ❤

[@loriminard6460]

Safe travels reallyy enjoy all your shows🎉

[@traceytrotter9934]

I wish we would have pinball machines everywhere again. Or at least a few here and there. Life needs to be more fun.

[@sasha642]

Thank You liked this one.

[@daewooparts]

5:44 never never ever stop in the left lane shoulder unless its a extreme emergency, its extremely dangerous & illegal in most places, always pull over in the right lane shoulder, the left lane is the speed & passing lane & you could both cause a accident pulling out or be easily rear ended 🚙💥

[@groovygirl2408]

Good to see Splorin Ryan! Congrats To Greg too. I'd like to see the Woo, back with a band. 🎙 🎮 🎸 💛☮

[@SplorinRyan]

I appreciate that

[@JP105INYO]

Hey Adam! Retro games are the best ☺️

[@tinamiller9210]

You seemed so happy there. Keep up the laughter.

[@daronmarkley826]

Now that looked like one heck of a fun conversation and to see retro games to the max was awesome because that’s right up my alley I mean I live for vintage video games and pinball machines, now Adam you lucked out being able to go and being able to hang out with your friends what more could you ask for also I must say you still do Arnold as good today as you did back in the day and please don’t ever stop doing Arnold, now with that peace ☮️ love ❤️ and happiness to you Adam and I’ll see you on the next awesome vlog adventure also you mentioned your cutting back on lattes Well you still can enjoy them guilt free just like I used to do like Starbucks or were ever you go ask for whatever latte you want then tell them you want it sugar free with nonfat milk and it still taste great but without the guilt peace ☮️ out ✌️

[@andystreet1479]

awesome event great to see some old games and pinball machines

[@keithmabe6015]

Thank you Adam...

[@deliverancetwo]

Awesome Sauce Adam. This weekend I saw the selfie guy at days of the dead horror con in Chicago.

[@iangrimm]

Pinball evokes so much great 50s-70s era nostalgia. Always makes me think of Happy Days - especially that episode where Richie is forced to make sounds when the pinball machine breaks.🤣

[@kellark]

Bing bong bing bong

[@paullynch1546]

The bag that you have is from 1982 -1989 .. RARE.. HAVE FUN BUDDY!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 👍 👌.

[@RIDizney]

I think it is early 90s ...they had similar in the 80s except there was Mickey's face where mgm studios is on Adam's bag.

[@realestateunplugged6129]

Guessing 91 on that cool vintage WDW bag. Super neat! C=

[@Cincinnatijames]

I hadn't thought of the Lakeland Civics Center in a long time. Went to several shows there in the 90's. It was kind of the midway stop for bands so they didn't have both a Tampa and Orlando shows.

[@candarianpumpkin]

Yay! Congratulations to Greg's Game Room! Very cool trading card. I hope you bought those sweet Michael Jackson stickers. Reminded me of the EPCOT rainbow tunnel photos.

[@J-dn1tv]

My brother and my husband used to love playing the Contra 2 player video game. The one player could only advance so far with the other player following. My brother was the more aggressive forward moving player and my husband would be the follower and lag behind and always hold him up. They would yell at each other and it would make me laugh. Sadly, my husband passed away 7 years ago. Thank you for this wonderful memory 🙏🏻

[@matthewfarmer2520]

I love to play the old pinball my favorite brand is the Bally, there was one place i used to go on Thursday as a kid in the 80s it was a bar/restaurant the owner was Jim they sold liquor with no license they got taken in the early 90s for selling liquor with no license lol. That place is a reminder of what it used to be. I like to go somewhere to play some pinball.

[@EndUser2090]

26:34 John Riggs in an Adam the Woo episode?! Worlds are colliding!

[@thedisneylandkid]

Not the first time this has happened. I saw the thumbnail and I thought that's John Riggs. There was a video within the last year or two that John put out that Adam was in in the background at some kind of bar arcade. I love it when some of my favorite KZbinrs crossover. I haven't even started watching it yet and I saw this comment.

[@mickeysmyspiritanimal223]

Yep! It was a bad accident on I-4 near Davenport yesterday in which an off duty firefighter died due to hydroplaning.

[@CattyWompus.]

Traffic in central Florida is just too much anymore

[@selbyjohnson5986]

its horrible. I’m glad I don’t drive I4 usually.

[@rmannayr2129]

FREE PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mustangcindy1303]

Love some pin ball. My family used to have a full size pin ball machine in our den when I was young. Loved paying that thing.

[@MushroomHausArt]

Aw man, that's where that issue of Nintendo Power went! Was looking at that by the stand beside the candles, but it was gone when I went to go back for it. Lucky duck!

[@bearbeartime7082]

Thank you that was fun

Todays games are not like the old days . Thank ATW for bringing back the good ol days for me.

I remember those bags well.. and they are awesome

[@christinegiguere9926]

The bag is from 1986. Loved watching you guys debate over it.

That was GREAT! I was shouting answers. It was awesome. I think I may make the pilgrimage next year.

This was great. I always gravitate toward the pinball machine(s) inside every arcade and I'm mildly bummed when I don't see any. Lookin at you Playland Arcade of Santa Monica Pier, bring my pinball back.

[@johndreker1613]

The only arcade video games I ever thought about buying were Demo Derby and Ms Pac-Man. Demo Derby was my absolute favorite. I remember seeing it for sale in 1996 for $400 and asked my dad if I could put it in the basement and he said no because it was an old game and they break, so I'd be wasting my money. I should have just bought it without asking, it's not like I was old enough that he could kick me out of the house 😂
