My First Helicopter Ride EVER - Flying Over Disney World On Touristy Hwy 192 Leading Edge Chopper

[@sandraadams6988]

I have never been in a helicopter or been on a plane in my 62 years of life. I probably will never go on either. I am glad that you conquered your fears. Thank you for going up for us and filming your experience.

[@atomicbru4717]

That first feeling of lifting vertical is so cool! A completely different sensation than flying, right? Definitely do this when you’re in Hawaii!

[@downloadingemail2780]

Maybe you can find T.C

[@bambambundy6]

TC would have taken you up for 10$.

[@jensenpete]

Tom Cruise? Lol

[@geoffcapp7257]

My son and I did this in 2013. Fun!!

[@PicaloOneill]

everyone beat me to the "TC" joke. Does the new Magnum PI have a TC? they'll never beat that cool black guy who was the TC of my youth.

[@DALEf4u]

My dad and I took a helicopter ride through the Grand Canyon. The feeling when we went over the canyon wall and went straight down is something I will never forget.

[@Luv2tickt]

The definition of a helicopter: Six million parts flying in an unstable formation! Congrats on your first ride!

[@Recordology]

I’m amazed they can fly over Disney property. Beautiful!

Adam , I was 23 y.o. When I took my first helicopter flight over the erupting Kilauea volcano ! I lived on Oahu but took a plane flight to the Big Island specifically to see the eruption from the air. We flew all around the eruption zone but the sulphur smell was more frightening than the copter ride. You had windless conditions-try having the air smell of sulphur and knowing that , if the copter went down, you would crash into an active volcano area! I prefer hot air balloons ride-I took my first one in Albuquerque the hot air capital of America. If you ever get to Africa, take the hot air balloon safari flight over the Maasi Mara game preserve-truly a bucket list item! Seeing elephants and giraffes from hundreds of feet above them is mind-blowing!You’ll also see large herds of zebra, gazelles, gnu, etc.!Not being surrounded by metal and glass is a totally different experience when there is just air around you-awesome!

[@thomaslabrado1560]

[@JohnSmith-ig4gb]

Adam you are one brave soul, as I have avoided helicopters, skydiving & motorcycles which I feel have extended my life expectancy but you are correct with the amount of commercial flights you’ve taken I can see you sayin “heck-it!” I’m just going to do it…. Awesome footage love this video!

[@stot2614]

Hmm... don't forget all the medical helicopters that save lives all over the world every single day! Nothing to worry about. Flown in many different models and had a blast... you are the only one holding yourself back.

[@JohnSmith-ig4gb]

Love the subtle 'Tips' sign right in your face. Let's make sure there's nothing left in your wallet! 😂

[@Marquisha-ir4pv]

Did this same tour last summer...the pilot make everything at ease....i thought I would be scared but felt very calm and comfortable. He talk and joke with you the whole time, and its just a beautiful experience. I ended up going back 3 days in a row❤❤

[@marilynhiatt9717]

WoW. How exciting!! It was such a beautiful view. Thank You for taking us on this adventure!!!

[@victoriamahon3765]

Wow, I’ve seen a lot of Disney videos, but this was so unique, very cool to see everything like that! I’m actually surprised they can get so close to the parks like that, I thought it was restricted airspace directly over the parks but maybe they skirt the outside of it. Amazing to see!

[@grizzlytactical2991]

Adam you did it.... you finally "Got to the Chopper" Arnold Schwarzenegger Haha. Looked like lots of fun. Amazing seeing the boundaries of the parks and how much room there really isn't

[@canadavey]

Great job on documenting the helicopter ride! Felt like I was sitting in there as well! It's really cool to see the theme parks in a different perspective, even different from looking at them in Google Maps satellite view. Magical theme parks don't look so magical from above! TBH is all looks like just another massive commercial / industrial complex. I've always contemplated about taking one of the choppa tours when I'm in the area, but I always wimp out. Seeing the Pilot that you had though would have probably changed my mind. He looked like a cool every day ordinary guy and not some button down type. For me, that settles my nerves quite a bit. Great job Adam! Thanks for the ride!

[@LoneWulfRick]

Very cool, you got Captain Rex from Star Tours since it was his first time flying also 😂

[@kenweidemoyer2221]

Wow what a great idea, Thanks for sharing.

[@librarylady1715]

Thank you Adam for taking us up above Disney! That was absolutely fantastic! You look awesome by the way!

[@Sparty-pi3jq]

During my military career, for most missions we flew on a helo to be tactically inserted at our destination. Even our pilots were special operations certified. I loved every second aboard the helo's. That looked like a ton of fun Adam, great video as always!!

[@daleupthegrove6396]

Yeah, when I was in the service I flew in Hueys and Chinooks. Memorable.

[@paulroberts6840]

Trying to think, which of your buddies would be the most hysterical, in other words, freaking out, on a helicopter ride like that, and I am thinking Jacob the Carpetbagger would really deliver.

[@prussiaaero1802]

Yessir. Bring it.

[@laurag-oe9xo]

That's who I thought of too. That would be awesome. 😂

[@stacey4654]

I think someone is prepping for their Hawaii trip!!!From what I hear, it's a must do. Loved the birds eye view Adam. Great video. Ty

[@maureenhefferon2142]

Wow!! Awesome video!! We are going to watch it again on the big TV. We really enjoyed it. Hope you do it again with a friend to keep the cost down. Loved it!!

[@Savagemister]

I got a free helicopter ride once when I was driving Uber. Picked up a fella from a small airport near me. I took him into town then back and he took me up for about 10 minutes. So cool of him. He is a land developer who flies to all his projects. Time is money but he took time for me. So cool. I made a vlog of it on my channel. Then for my 50th I did a planned ride with my wife n kids.

[@Cove_Blue]

Dude! I'm so proud of you! I was gonna say this on one of your recent flying videos but I think watching your videos has really helped with my fear of heights and flying! I was even nervous of watching this at first but I figured if Adam can do it, I can watch it! So cool! Disney looked so teeny!

[@thomasherring6640]

I was born in 1969. Many times over the years I had thought about trying a helicopter tour, never convinced myself to do it. In 2019, while visiting Central Florida (mostly for Disney) my then 16 year old son convinced me to go with him. At 50 years old, we took two flights with Leading Edge helicopter tours. The first flight we took was their cheapest shortest flight, just to make sure I could handle it. Second tour was the full Disney parks tour, and I had an amazing time on both flights.

[@jameshymanii8191]

WOW Adam. So very proud of you getting over your fear of the heights. What an awesome experience and even more exciting that we were with you. Thank you again for sharing!!

[@e818bboy]

Awesome!!!! Thanks for sharing the experience.

[@melissalee333]

I have always wanted to do one of those experiences. It looks amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@susangiunco6934]

Adam, you are the best. I really hope that's one and done. Thanks for keeping us entertained.❤

[@carolrobinson2139]

Way to go Adam. I'm 70 yrs old and went up in a tour helicopter back in the 80s at Branson Mo and was scared to death!!! It was a Magnum PI helicopter. Don't know if I'd do it again or not!! You were brave

[@rrs1550]

Daughter Speaking: Me and my Dad did the SAME Helicopter ride you did! We were there 2 years ago, where you were. Glad we made it too 😅 Only difference? Our Helicopter was Red, just like the cover of your and our Picture Book. Deja Vu + Nostalgia.

[@CCcastro336]

Oh, that was a cool video. I’ve always wanted to ride in one but just can’t get the bravery up to do it. Now that I seen you do it. It doesn’t look too bad. Thank you for sharing.

[@JB-cp2hv]

Helicopter rides tend to more smooth because the rotors take most of the turbulence, the rotors are flexible, where a plane, the wings take the turbulence and they aren’t as flexible, I love helicopters, even on a windy day it’s pretty smooth. Great Video Adam!

[@bethturner4070]

Adam, you know your dietary focus is paying off when they have to add ballast to get the weight up. Nicely done! 😘

[@mysticdreamer364]

The crazy thing is I've only been to Florida once and it was literally from hotel to Epcot and back. After watching so many of your videos I was able to point out things as you flew around. OH, there's Disney Springs! OH there is the giant orange that caught on fire! Lol

[@BostonRho]

I always wanted to do this 😬you got me to go on my first real rollercoaster at 57 and who knows maybe this is next. Love that you are realistic about how you were feeling before the flight and enjoyed seeing things from the sky .

[@simomanbob6899]

Congrats Adam! Proud of you ticking one more achievement. Love the channel too, awesome content on a consistent basis.

[@SCB1977]

Awesome!! I always thought Disney was a no fly zone!! Can’t wait to watch your next adventure. 😊

[@disneydreamer98]

The have a restricted fly zone- nothing below 3000 feet or within 3 miles. That’s how the sky writer that is always writing “God is Love” and other religious comments over the parks all the time.

[@kimpossible6320]

That was awesome , love the photos my husband and I did a helicopter ride in 1984 in las vegas on the strip it was fun . 👍🚁

[@toddryan0108]

EPIC first experience Adam! Before I watched I was thinking you’re going to love it and not want to come back down!! I loved flying in helicopters in the Army. If you ever need a literal wingman I’m down bro anytime!!

Congrats. I worked on helicopters in the Air Force. I haven't been up in one since 2007 in Pigeon Forge Tenn. Looked like a great time.

[@catherinetozzi8056]

As soon as you took off I felt faint. I’m an old timer and never even flew on a plane. I was always worried it would crash. Silly, but That’s how I feel, I’m glad you enjoyed it, another notch in your belt. ❤️🙏🏽🐿️

[@rvfamilylife]

The wind sock tells pilots which direction the wind is blowing and can even help identify how fast the wind is blowing based on how "full" the sock is. Wind direction can help the pilot to decide which direction to come in to a landing.

[@johnharrison1429]

Nice operation, they took good care of you. Great perspective of the area!

[@charissatroup5611]

I found myself tense the whole time you were up in that thing. An interesting experience. I'm glad you enjoyed the ride.

[@Highland804]

I used to do pediatric transports in a helicopter. Really enjoyed it, when I wasn't caring for my patients. Especially around Christmas, seeing all the lights and decorations from above. 🚁

[@baylake1888]

Very cool. I was not expecting a helicopter ride in today's vlog.

[@brianb8060]

I first went on a helicopter in the mid 90s. It was at the South Florida Fair, and was on one of the West Palm Beach news station's traffic copters.

[@dwayne3466]

Riding in a helicopter is a cool experience! I did a helicopter tour of Mt. St. Helens in 86. The pilot took us down into the still active volcano, where the steam and gases caused us to oscillate as much as 50 to 75 feet, based on the altimeter. It was crazy, but fun afterwards. You can see so much detail from a helicopter, that you can't see from a moving plane.

[@devengudinas1649]

Robinson R44. Nice first flight. I actually build the cabin for those plus the R66 here in Torrance CA.

[@Egg_663]

My day can’t start without Adam the Woo enjoying a helicopter ride, sipping piping hot caffeinated bliss. Looking down below for a glimpse of a stanchion while channeling Arnold and proclaiming, “get to the choppa!”

[@f86sabjf]

My wife and I always budget for a helicopter tour on vacation . Seen some incredible stuff ❤

[@bobbyhand1]

HEY ATW... ABSOLUTELY AMAZING TO SEE THE DISNEY parks from above. When you are in the Parks, everything seems so "Larger than Life". Then, when you see WDW from the air, the whole thing wasn't as big as you are led to believe. Even though you paid for two tickets, I think your helicopter tour was worth every penny! I never, in a million years, thought you would take a helicopter tour! Now, since you are facing fears, have got to ride the Vomitron! Great episode today. I watched it about 6 times trying to see every detail of WDW.

[@joedangler3565]

[@mustangcindy1303]

I had to add another comment. That looked so cool! I have wanting to do one of those for years but I knew about the two person minimum. And I didn’t know anyone who wanted to do it but now I know which place to go. It’ll cost me double but I’ll still do it. Thanks for showing this. I have a bucket list of things I want to ride- a helicopter, a seaplane, and a hot air balloon (Disney Springs doesn’t count. I have done that twice) In due time I will do them all. I think since my dad had a pilot’s license and flew little planes occasionally way before I came along, the love of flying must be in my blood.

I’d love to see you take that footage and do commentary over everything that you flew over. I’m sure you could be the one doing the tour while the pilot flies.

Kudos for you Adam to do that. I was in the Air Force for 22 years and rode in a plethora of military aircraft. Never have and probably never will do a helicopter! No thank you! Something about knowing the mechanics of aircraft and helicopters just stops me. Never skydived either, and considered it but now a replacement knee will stop me from that! I enjoy your videos, keep it up!

They are actually safer than a small plane in most cases.
