I honestly cant believe I have been watching Adam since 2013, almost 10 years. I remember finding your ATW channel when I was just starting uni and was extremely homesick, I cant say exactly how I found your videos but I remember being hooked on them. A lot has changed since then, but one thing has remained consistent throughout, your passion, drive and optimism, and thats is why so many people keep coming back to join in your zany journeys. Keep it up Adam, love from the UK.
These collaborations are awesome the 2 of y’all are awesome together. I love learning all the past and current things that have to do with Orlando. Thanks guys for what you do.
It's always so interesting to see how things have changed over time. As much time as we spend in the Orlando area, we typically never wander much beyond the parks. I love collab videos. It's always fun to see your latest video and a great way to start each day.
To much coffee is bad for you but the right amount is good for you. Coffee helps burn fat if you drink it black also helps word off some cancers as well there is good in coffee as well without all the sugar in it especially if you use real dairy creamer as well.
There was a face in the clouds at the end. Interesting. You got to love heat and humidity that makes you more appreciative for AC! :) Great vlog as usual Adam! Thanks.
My daughter is in Florida at the moment over from the UK. I was hoping somehow your paths collided and she was in the background of your videos 😂 Keep on doing the Woo Adam!!
Hello Adam with Hat, Micah with Vans, living that Florida life :) My sister is convinced she wants to move to FL-- even though she's never been. So I always tell her to please visit first, and let that humidity SMACK her right in the face the moment she steps outside --and then get back to me, heheh. I met the Hulkster once too, brother! He was actually very mellow and sweet that day, he reached out and held my hands and said he could feel all my good energy! 🥰 I'm pretty sure he tells EVERYONE that, but still! Such a nice thing to say to anyone! Absolute legend... 👍
Adam, you and Micah make a great team. You're like two, walking *encyclopedias... anyone remember them? This was so cool blending yesteryear, with today. a great video, Adam 👏🤠👏🤠
When I’m in town I love traveling through iDrive and exploring the treasure cove of attractions, and fun. Best memory was Pointe Orlando back in the late 98 with Fao Shwarz
Do you remember the Disney Passport store that was there in the FAO Shwarz era? I was hoping the new Disney I-Drive store would have that same great old train depot look, but it's not remotely as well themed.
@@blahblahblah9487 don’t known what happened but disneys gotten very lazy and generic with its store theming . It’s almost as if they’re trying to copy an apple store ( works for apple not Disney )
I am also very satisfied with old relics of rides etc. What I have learned from you over the years I share it with my family whenever we go to WDW and I never stop talking about it till they get annoyed 🤣.. For example when we go to Fort wilderness I always mention the old steam train train tracks that in some places are still present.. thanks for sharing and keep up your weight loss goal you got this 💪🏻
Hulkster be like: “Well let me tell you something, Woo, brother, jack!” Always love when you give Orlando updates, pal! I remember the old school attraction updates in the early days of this channel.
Growing up my dad had a house in Tampa, we'd visit every summer and the heat was unreal. I visited Florida in the winter for the first time in January of this year expecting mild temps... Ended up with record breaking cold 😂🥶 even had to wear my coat and gloves, in FLORIDA! Looking forward to a September trip that will bring some sunshine ☀️ Love the video thank you for sharing ❤️
U right Adam, that was a 7-11 and behind it was Fun N Wheels. It closed in 2002. My favorite Hulk Hogan movie was No Hold Bars with him and Tiny Lister!👍
I'm from Australia and when we visited Disney world in 2012 my kids insisted on riding in that Vans skate park. They were young and not very good and totally intimidated.by the other skaters. They did buy a customized skateboard and still have it. Thanks for sharing 🙂
I enjoyed the video with Micah, especially looking at the cars. I'm sure you both enjoyed reminiscing about skating and other adventures on International Blvd.
Please keep the I Drive vlogs coming!! Been coming here since grade school on field trips and have been coming ever since. Love to see the changes before visiting.
It is interesting how much and how often things change in the Orlando area and around international Drive. Actually remember way back when festival bay was nothing but the movie theater and bass pro shops. And I definitely remember race rock as well as some of the other locations of fun spot. Good times and good memories
This is an amazing video and I enjoyed every bit of it. It's another time of the year. One need to set goals and take bold steps in achieving them. Remember success are not obtained overnight. It comes in installment; you get a little bit today and a little bit tomorrow until the whole package is given out. The day you procrastinate you lose that day of success.
Well, from my own point of view, you need to invest smartly if you need the good things of life. So far I've made over $325k since September last year in raw profits from just q4 of the market from my diversified portfolio strategy and i believe anyone can do it if you have the right strategy, mutual funds takes long time but investing smartly is the key to short term. Most of us tend to pay more attention to the shiniest in the market to the cost of proper diversification.
@Palacio Amanpour My portfolio is very much diversified so it's not like I have a particular fund I invest in, plus I don't do that but myself. I follow the trades of Karen Gaye Gray. She is a popular broker you might have heard of. I can correctly say she's worth her salt as a financial adviser as her diversification skills are top notch, I'm saying because I see that in her results as my portfolio grows by averages of 10 to 15% on a monthly basis, unlike I can say for my IRA which has just been trudging along, my portfolio just mirrors what she trades and not just on some particular industries of my choosing.
Normal people buy in at high prices the stock market goes down, companies but stocks back cheaper by introducing some "disaster" Stock rises after a disaster and the cycle repeats.. Having a good entry and exit strategy,will make you succeed in the stock market.
@Nikki Robinson Yeah exactly. My money stays right in my account. it's all programmatic,plus it's relatively much easier to set up and connect my accounts than creating a financial pan and drafting investment strategies myself, my account just mirrors her trades in realtime.
When it comes to investment, diversification is key. Also have my interest set on the key sectors based on performance and projected growth, do not invest all your money in a particular sector, diversifying across different sectors is the way to go.
Wow, that brings back memories. During one of our trips to Florida we brought our BMX bikes and rode at that Van's skatepark. I knew it closed but had no idea where it was. Cool that at least some of it is still there. 👍
Saw the Tupperware head quarters was put up for sale. I think that would be a good video idea. Those buildings are so awesomely 70s, I love everything about that place lol! I wanted to visit the museum there, but I think it is closed now. A tour round that place, before it is sold and possibly torn down, would be awesome!
Can't wait to return to Dragon Con in September to film all the anime children dressed in cosplay. You can guarantee me and little Ugnought Bagger will be there with bells on... and our video cameras.
Hope you make a trip thru Indiana sometime. Come to Knightstown. There are a few cool things to see as we have tons of small towns. We are the Home of the Hoosier Gym where the movie Hoosiers was filmed. Also have a place where Civil Was soldiers children were sent as orphans and is still in use today by the state plus lots of great architecture. Look forward to seeing you sometime.
I love when you collab with Micah, always a great vlog….I used my “Colombo-like research skills,” aka google street view 😉and you are correct Hogans beach shop was a 7-11 up until 2014 or so…
While you were doing this video I was at the Florida Mall. I shared the rain after a visit to Crayola. As a vet I got in free and my wife, a nurse, got in free as a first responder and my daughter got in free since it was her birthday. They didn't make a lot of profit from us.
This is awesome Adam! great to see Micah too. I remember the Vans skatepark at Festival Bay mall; trying to remember if they also sold vans shoes there as well. Thank you!
I have been watching Adam about 3 years. There is a fun spot close to me in Fayetteville,Ga. They are building a huge roller coaster there it will be 3,400 feet and it is called Arieforce One. Thought I would let him know since he likes roller coasters. If anyone wants to see an animation of it go to, fun spot Atlanta. Looks scary.
HEY ATW...SORRY I'M LATE AGAIN...ANOTHER ONCOLOGY VISIT. Honestly, I'm missing the intro's with the piping hot caffeinated beverages! Always an enjoyable vlog when you collab with World of Micah. I love looking around Orlando's offbeat areas of years past and future interest.
Maybe tadpoles in the puddle, anyway, great video, did not fast foward thru the trolley tracks, used to go to disney a few times when i was younger, cool to see the old remnants.
Use to skate that Vans park all the time when it was open. Lotta memories! that pool at 22:46 i use to love. I wanna go skate it!! lol Fun fact the green field to the right of the outdoor portion of the skate park they almost built a surfing wave pool. They actually started it and dug some of the area up (use to have a big dirt mound) but when the big sponsors pulled out the project was dead.
My wife and I live in the Orlando area during the winter and we enjoy the old traditional attractions. My daughter in law works for Disney management and we enjoy free access to the parks, but prefer the old attractions and wildlife areas around central Florida. Love your videos.
That Fun Spot also provided the backdrop for the carnival scene in Problem Child 2, where everyone threw up. Producers set up the movie carnival ride in what at the time was a Burger King parking lot (I beleive) next to the Fun Spot.
I can't remember the last time I drank out of a water bottle..I always bring my Yeti flask everywhere I go. Always recommend people to buy either a Hydro Flask or Yeti.
I am so glad you did a short feature of the abandoned tracks on International Drive. I have always wondered what attraction used to be there. If you, or anyone, has any more information about this forgotten train/trolly ride, please let me know or share a link. Thank you.
When I moved to Orlando twenty years ago that building was a train & transport museum that had a very small train (picture Walt Disney's backyard train) that you could ride around the property, I believe for an extra fee. Just did a quick Google, and it was called Train Land. Micah apparently did a video about it in May of 2020. Hope that helps!
We stayed at Sandlake & International for our honeymoon in 1993, at a Marriot or something. Last time we were down there, it looked like some of the hotel was removed for commercial buildings.
I loved every minute of this video but the kicker was the classic cars and of all things at a former skateboard park and it was nice to see remnants of what once was the skateboard park also it was nice seeing Micah he always makes for a good time now with that being said peace ☮️ love ❤️ and happiness to you Adam and I’ll see you on the next vlog adventure wherever it takes you peace ☮️ out ✌️
If there was ever a good reason NOT to move to Florida, Adam certainly illustrated them in this video. Namely the rain, the high humidity and incessant heat. I am glad that I live in northern California.
That was actually fun and wheels behind burger king and Rock On Ice and Dowdy Pavillion that Ron Dowdy originally built for his daughters to Skare in then was sold and was Rock On Ice which went through a couple of owners then closed down.
Had 2 Vacays down on I drive one was late 80s one was early 90s. One time I stayed in this Super 8 which was on a side street off I Drive. Across the street was a go cart track with a mini golf course and 2 arcades attached to it. Spent my days there. Pizza Inn was on that street too. You could see Wet and Wild from the hotel, and this tall circular 20 story high hotel was within walking distance. That was the first place i ever did Karaoke. ON I drive too was ABC liquor lounge man did I get drunk in that place! 2 dollar Molson drafts! SHEEEE I got fucken wasted! I remember doing a cool laser tag in this place called Lazer Maze! in 1991 I stayed only 4 nights a spring break thang stayed at a Holiday Inn on I drive. Place was flippin nice huge pool, huge arcade inside it. Saw Beastie Boys play on some beach (Cocoa beach) an hour from there that was nuts. Got plowed out of my mind was in a 80 person riot/brawl! Lucky to have lived through that. I loved I drive and all it's attractions then. Great memories. If anyone remembers these places, chime in! THanx Adam for bringing memory lane tonite!
