Last Visit To Ober Gatlinburg Before It Changes Names - Mountain Top Theme Park Stuck Back In Time

[@mebluewater]

Adam I was laughing so hard when your feet were running on the wood planks, comedy Gold. It was also nice to see your mom and dad a few videos back. Hope they're both feeling great!.

[@boardgameman6298]

After living in So Cal in Orange County for 47 years and moving to Knoxville last year, it's so nice to have the Smoky Mountains in my backyard and be able to enjoy Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge is truly a blessing.

[@briantran3791]

I would love to see videos from your perspective @board game man.

[@hattiem.7966]

I lived in the Huntington Beach area from 1978 -1994.I wanted to go back 🏡 too.My hubby grew up in LA.I was last in G'burg 3 yrs ago.I can see the bare hills from the fires.

[@adventuresintvland]

We drove up the mountain and often did the alpine slide there when we visited growing up. I’ve never seen things so vacant! Very cool!

[@sandypetro8907]

Love this peaceful video. Thank you for taking us to Ober Gatlinburg with you. I so much enjoy the peace and quiet of the mountains.💕😎

[@theathjr]

Adam always keeping us updated on 96.75% of the goings on in the USA. Thank You my friend. Thank you.

[@hannahurry02]

I always miss you when I go. Either you go right before I do. Or you're there right after! You're the main reason I've been going back to Gatlinburg. I love it. I hope to live there in the near future

[@RedheadedMama]

Oh I wish I could share pictures on here! I lost my sunglasses in the same ski left a couple years ago! Lol. I also have some pretty neat pictures of the water ride working and Ober Gatlinburg when I was a kid there. So neat to see this again! 30 years ago we used to go down there every year and stay at the mountain side motor lodge. I re-created our trip about five years ago. Thanks for sharing this with us Adam!

[@benlaw4647]

We use to always go to Gatlinburg, pigeon forge at Christmas. Always loved it ! I've been there during snow storms and seen it drop 1 to 2 feet of snow overnight. Absolutely beautiful....thanks Adam...✌

[@cherylluigs8984]

Love the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area…one of my happy places. Nothing better than renting a cabin in the mountains and watching the sunrise and sunset over the mountains.

[@ShareaDreamComeTrue]

Great sounds and vibes. Brings back family memories of a Gatlinburg vacation back in the late 80s.

[@darryl2154]

Hi Adam, great video. That sure was peaceful. No beehive of activity, not even in the beehive. Another great gondola movie is "Where Eagles Dare" I'll suggest the word "disembark" for stepping off any ride vehicle

[@DaRossman]

Great place. I hope they will continue to make improvements on top of the mountain and keep the 70's vibe! Safe travels Adam!

[@ryngoslyng7629]

The retro feel is the entire reason I go to it lol it’s not appealing at all if it’s modern

[@faithparrigin8733]

Heard they want to turn whole thing into a resort. That was being talked about when I was working there which I hope isn't true and also heard not that route new attractions

[@sarakeith5480]

Lovely and so peacefull!! My kind of ride!! The view up there is fantastic, I love Fall!! Thanks Adam!!

[@saguaro2231]

Thanks as usual! I really liked the "nearly alone" experience; I agree, sometimes just floating in a lift, beauty around you, is such an empowering feeling......you never fail to give a good time

[@scarystardust5175]

I only visited Ober once, and that was like 6 months ago. But the atmosphere totally made it feel like I had been there as a kid. Pure nostalgia time capsule . I know it’s in need to update in order to complete with the newer attractions, but I hope it can do that without changing too much.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Very nostalgic indeed

[@BadErnest]

I went there once about 30 years ago when I was a teenager. Definitely nostalgic, thanks.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

As locals we love Ober! We are hoping to bring the kids to their first ski lessons this winter!

[@TheGatlinburgHussey]

Can't believe I did a video at Ober around the same time yesterday and didn't cross paths...lol

[@TheDailyWoo]

It’s a fun place

[@faithparrigin8733]

I never been skiing but heard it's fun.. hoping to this winter since here now .. hope they aren't gonna do major changes..

[@A1AJake]

I am 52 and have been coming to G'burg 2 to 3 times a year since I was 6 years old. Ober has always been my go to spot when I wanted to step back in time and go back to Old Gatlinburg. I could get away from the crowds of Gatlinburg and now that is going change. I am ok with change I have to be or else I would never return, but this really saddens me I am sure there will be another beer/moonshine/wine tasting establishment up there...as if it needs another one. I get the feeling they are slowly turning the little mountain town into a smaller version of Nashville at least that was it appears to be. Regardless it will always be Ober Gatlinburg to me.

[@faithparrigin8733]

@@A1AJake I worked with Ober for few weeks when moved here April I love it I love our whole towns

HOW fun and beautiful. Love the channel ❤️Love the VINTAGE VIBES😃👍🏼😃👍🏼

What a nice, peaceful day. Incredible scenery, beautiful weather. Kind of a perfect storm!

[@helgabullabong]

So happy you documented here. Love this place. I adore how retro it feels but I'm sure this will change. Great video. Cheers

[@lizzieizzard]

Great sense of humour thetour gondola driver has - looks a beautiful place to visit. The autumn/ fall trees leaves are so colourful

[@zombiegirl7466]

I love how quiet it is going up the ski lift & looking down at all the 🌲

[@beckyyoung725]

I hope they don’t change the retro feel! It is nice to have a place to feel like you are back in time.

[@AmericanExplorer]

Very nicely done video! @The Retromantic and I were there for a long Thanksgiving weekend, but didn't go up to Ober Gatlinburg. We're sad to hear it's sold, and according to a commenter below the current signage will be gone. I hope they leave everything as is. We're losing vintage places in favor of everything looking the same. Thank you for sharing Adam! I enjoyed watching!

[@mustangcindy1303]

Oh so that’s Mt. Harrison. Love that name. It looks like the name of that attraction is just changing slightly. Looks like it will be Ober Mountain instead of Ober Gatlinburg. At least that’s what I see on the internet. That really is a cool retro looking place to go to. The ariel tramway reminds me of the way to get up Stone Mountain too. I liked the corny jokes that the tramway attendant made. Lol. I can totally understand why you love the quietness and listening to nature and the mechanics of the chair lift. It is so nice to be able to hear that. Usually when you go on those things you are just listening to a bunch of people making noises. It’s nice when there is just quiet for a little while. I am the same way.

[@mrscomputerblue93]

As always Adam … You make me want to visit!! Thanks for taking us with you!

[@colleenochs4728]

I think that a lot of the town is very retro looking . I love it!!

[@mikecross809]

I am loving these videos from Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. We went back in 2020 and Covid messed up that trip. Can't wait to go back. Thanks Adam!!

HEY ATW... I'VE BEEN WATCHING FOR OVER 10 YEARS AND commenting every upload for over five! I think I'm going to get a 5 tattoo now! I was so happy when you dropped those dog-ugly aviators, then...you bought more!(lol) The only thing missing on today's peaceful episode was your mom's smile! Great work today!

[@toddventure]

Great to see that it's still the same inside the lodge. Octoberfest at Ober is a blast too. Loved the quick slide reference..'not for bikes' 😀

Can you imagine a bike on that thing ha

[@Sandra-A]

So funny you are excited over the clock. I now understand why Americans say "old Europe". We have these clocks everywhere 🤣 Beautiful area. Thanks for taking us along x

[@heathertune7053]

We love Ober, sooooo many great memories from there. My earliest memory is traveling to the top when I was in 2nd grade, so 1982ish, to eat at the German restraunt that was up there. I have ice skated there numerous times, skied there once, and been on the alpine slide once. I loved taking my older kids up there when they were little. I can't wait to share it with my youngest kiddo. With the name change it will be called Ober Mountain. It seems, from what I read, the people that bought it from the family that owned Ober Gatlinburg, will be doing great things with it to keep tbe nostalgia but clean it up a little.

[@heathertune7053]

Also, you talked about it reminding you of a film. The movie Hot Tub Time machine reminds me of Gatlinburg and Ober of my past. That's part of why I love the movie so much.

[@Gmachine231]

Ober, Mountain Mall & Coligny Plaza in Hilton Head amaze me. The original build was done so long ago & the owners don’t do regular updates while the surrounding area does. Like a kind uncle that still rock his polyester suit.

[@boyohio1980]

I am a Tim Traker fan and I have seen you in so so so sos o ssssssoo many videos so why not yes I subscribed to your channel and this was the First video I watched. Sooo yes yes omg yes give me more WOOOOOOOO I loved this vieo you are a great blogger Loved it.

Not the Aviator Glasses!!! 😂 Glad you got a replacement. Absolutely stunning views from up there. I would be slightly terrified

[@kyrademore5824]

The last time that I visited Ober was around the mid 80s and it looks exactly as I remember it! Amazing! And, why are bears and other dangerous creatures so damn cute? It's the fur. Most furry creatures are appealing.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

I've enjoyed seeing Over Gatlinburg with you. Wonderful place. Beautiful scenery.

[@maureen14]

I never been there but it looks awesome! It looks like they could film an episode of STRANGER THINGS up there with that retro look! I think it's very expensive though especially if some of the rides and attractions aren't working or are close for the season already. They got them Beverly Hill prices up there in the mountains of Tennessee. 💰

[@debsmith1956]

Another great video Adam....tell Dolly howdy...

[@meganryan476]

Absolutely beautiful countryside Adam. Having a sunshiny day made it even better to enjoy. I have to tell you tho, IF I was on the ride that you went solo on, and I heard all the creeks and noises, that would have freaked me out big time🤣🤣 Ty for sharing your adventure.😀

[@tabithaharvey5665]

[@mikedsjr]

i love the quietness of the lift. So peaceful. Soothing voice cadence. I'm happily married, and my wife would tell you i love to adventure off on my own. My company went to the State Fair, and as soon as we were done with our primary group event i went off on my own. I dont know. I just love the freedom by myself can provide at times (actually quite often).

[@saseals]

I've been coming to Gatlinburg off and on since about 1979. The Mountain Mall and Ober Gatlinburg look almost exactly the same as they did back then.

[@jadamills4082]

Remember going there in the 90s. It was good to see some things there have not changed. I watched my neice compete in ice skating, then checked the zoo out. Rode the sky lift. I was afraid as we got closer to the bottom, a bear would grab us. It didn't, but always on my mind lol.

Wow, it's definitely the off season! Not much going on there. Too bad the Alpine Slide was closed, that was my favorite. And the arcade is looking a little forgotten. Interested to see if they make any major changes, hope they keep that 70's vibe.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Looks like a lot of games were removed

[@faithparrigin8733]

When I was working there when process of new owners over heard 2 things 1: they wanted make it a resort. 2: if not they putting new attractions.... I love the old feeling in there im the one who loves seeing old school going still and abandoned stuff..but going up there made me feel like back in 90s. Yes they removed lots things

[@mariecasasnovas5945]

Hi Adam recently Super Enthused was there and while filming from the top of one of the mountains she captured a bear just feet away from the people being towed up the mountain on one of those luge rides. The man on the ride was unaware the bear was there because it was in the brush. It was a scary site and good that the man on the ride didn’t see the bear. I never thought of that possibility until I saw that and it would absolutely deter me from going on one of those rides. I wouldn’t think you’d be in imminent danger but wouldn’t want to come face to face with a bear. The lifts look like a lot of fun and it’s surprising to see all of the activities at the top of the mountain. It is a beautiful area.

Another great video Adam. Brought back fond memories of our visit there a while back. Looks like nothing has changed at all! Sorry about your glasses. I lost my pair of camera glasses at Knoebels 2 years ago. While the footage kind of sucked, it was still disappointing to lose a $200 pair of sunglasses… so I sympathize for your loss!

Not going to lie, this summer we were there. The place is so run down, arcade is ancient, the mountain coaster I genuinely did not feel safe on compared to others in the area, prices are not great, and the silly snow tubing you didn't go very far since the water sprayers weren't working.
