Took a different approach to this video but leaving some long shots in . Sometimes it’s tough to do simply because I’m editing around music and other things than need chopping up . In reality I’d live to do longer videos with lengthy takes and might continue to do so if the mood hits . What are your thoughts on longer videos versus shorter ones ?
Make it I’ll watch it. If it’s interesting I’ll watch it not matter the length of the video.
Are you sticking around for the hot rod run?
I’d love to see longer videos
I like longer videos.
Like the format - long or short - You keep them interesting sso it keeps my attention. It has been a long time since I have been to Gatlinburg but through your videos, I have been able to see a lot of the attractions that are here. Watch every video you put out.
Ober Gatlinburg is stuck in the early 80s and I hope it pretty much stays that way.
One of the original attractions don’t change a damn thing
Prices aren't stuck in the 80's
It's not changed that much since I visited in the 1970s.
I loved it! It reminded me of the 80s malls I used to visit as a kid.
Had the best night of drinking ever back in 1999 in that lounge upstairs at Ober Gatlinburg. They used to have bands playing on weekend nights up there. 7 of my friends and I..including my younger sister..were enjoying $1 drafts from noon... throughout the afternoon.. and into the night. Decided we were drunk enough to leave.. but then.. the band fired up. We closed the place down and caught the last tram back down the mountain. Tram driver told us we were lucky we caught that last tram. If we hadn't caught it.. it would have been a 45 minute walk down the mountain... or a 10 minute bear chase down the mountain.. depending on how our luck was that night. LOL
I absolutely love Gatlinburg. Been going there since I was a kid. We live in Somerset, KY on the banks of Lake Cumberland, so Gatlinburg is only a 2.5 hours away. It was always my dad's "go to" for a weekend away 3 or 4 times a year for our family because it was a lot cheaper than going to the beach. LOL
Some of the best times of my life have been in Gatlinburg with my parents back in the day.... and with my kids even today. We still make it a priority a couple times a year. Thank you guys for this awesome video. Appears as though you guys have been there as many times as I have. Take care and thanks for the awesome video.
The Carpetbagger is that friend you call in the middle of the night when you figure out you're gonna need a partner to ride the chair lift up the side of Ober Gatlinburg. Another great adventure guys. Can't wait to go there myself someday.
I worked the Tramway 20 years ago. The building for the mall on the parkway used to be a hotel. Where the ticket booth is now is where the pool used to be. If you look you can see a large crack in the floor from it. You need to ride ot sometime when the wind is blowing. It can get WILD to say the least. If you go there @ or before 7am you can watch some of the daily inspection. There is a guy who rides on top of the wheel carriage to inspect the cables and make sure all the wheels spin.
Fantastic testimony and tips. Thank you.
There he is! A trip to Gatlinburg would not be complete without hangin with Jacob!

I was a Tour Director for the 1982 World’s Fair held in Knoxville and had lots of free days I spent in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg during the summer of 1982. The number of attractions have doubled or tripled in size since then , but I always liked Ober Gatlinburg!
You two guys have such a great time together. Love it when you and Jacob team up, Adam. What a fun place to be.😀😁😊
that retro mall was pretty cool, reminds me of the mid 80's.
Thank you so much for visiting! We appreciate your visit and your coverage! We'd love your feedback on our attractions! Please reach out whenever! carly@obergatlinburg.com
Love seeing you join up with Jacob...my favorite youtubers together again
Makes think of my childhood, my grandparents took me to Gatlinburg alot! Love and miss living in Tennessee! Thanks Adam!
I definitely prefer longer videos. More time with ATW?? What's not to love? :)
Wow! That place is a time capsule... I was there last in 1990, looks exactly the same
Our family rents a cabin when we go... I remember this rode up the mountain and seeing the "Barbie" house.. it was huge and beautiful .. and the view is amazing!
Lol! That's Herbert at the animal exhibit. We always stopped and had a good conversation with him about the bears.
I love chair lifts so much. Thank you for the long peaceful relaxing footage.
We spare no expense. Especially with your painting PVC pipe.... Top shelf stuff in the Mtn.s
I'm from the west and I'll always belong there but I've got a soft spot for the eastern ranges climate and culture.
Thank you:)
I wondered my whole life if there are others out there that love amusement parks, gondolas, lifts and dark rides as much as I did.
Now, all I need is a floppy eared, always smiling dog name Zero.
Nothing I love more than a Three Stooges reference. The longer the video, the more time we get to spend with Adam the Woo!
Glad you liked it
Gatlinburg is our favorite place. Glad you came here.🙂
“Make the noise!” commanded Adam. I laughed out loud.
Tennessee has a lot...to see!
I see what ya did there lol
Adam + Jacob + Woo + Carpetbagger = Adam the Woo and Jacob the Carpetbagger - together again !!!
Great to see you and Jacob together again!! You 2 are blast!
They have added a ton of stuff at the top of Ober Gatlinburg since I was there years ago.
Really enjoyed that. Stunning view from the chair lift 🙂
The last time I was on the tram was 1989. You can also drive to the top of the mountain. It really hasn’t changed since the 80’s
Always good to see you both together! Time to re-create the bear dance in Cherokee!
This video is almost a year old and I just watched it.... it’s easily the CUTEST video you and Carpetbagger made. The kicky feet, the vistas. This was long, drawn out, and adorable. Thanks for this experience, you two!
I loved the video. I was ridding those cable cars and track with you. Thank you fornthe great experience
Hi everybody
Like ever
AdamtheWoo is one of the best youtubers in the USA in my eyes..
An whats intering is for all
OBER is german
Its german
it means Upper.
Because the part is on the mountain.
And it a nice area there
Greetings from Germany
You're not wrong ☺
My ex wasband & parents went on a trip to Gatlinburg about 6 years ago & this video reminded me of the fun I had (sans any time spent with my horrible ex...lol) I loved the sweet little bluegrass band at the top of the lift. Glad they're still there. My other favorites were the smokey mtn moonshine distillery tour, apple butter fritters, and our cabin in the mountains that had no electricity due to a storm one night. Haha thank you for this Adam. I miss TN!! ♡
that classic alpine slide is still better than any of the many newfangled alpine coasters they have in the area. The new coasters are on rails, while the alpine slide is still deadly on an open concrete half pipe
Definitely my two favourite RUclipsrs right here. I've fallen in love with Gatlinburg ☺
One of my best memories at that place ❤️
Awesome stay-cation for me.Thanks. Love the lift and the way down.
KM Merry do you live in the smokies
Great video!! Thanks so much for letting us join you, Woo!! Been there several times, but didn't get to that tippy top and never saw the wheels that operate the lifts. Did do the slide. On my ride a ground hog came out and stood up on the slide, saw me and ran back under!!! A cool place!! We ,also, never saw all those animals. We did see beats that they had up there. Great time! Thanks! Am having great time following you!!
Thank you for sharing. We always enjoy visiting Ober Gatlinburg during our visit. 😃
Oh my god what a total trip. I was in that ice rink 100 years agoand had zero memories of it until I just viewed it on your video Adam. What a trip.
I never had any desire to visit Gatlinburg, but thanks to you and Jacob I'm making this my vacay destination next summer!
I'm Just Karen
I just got back home (vegas ) from a 9 day vacation there you will not be disappointed I promise you. .the one thing I do recommend is pack your best and most comfortable walking shoes because you will be doing lots of it. ..
@@baggerchicforever2687 thnx for the advice!!
Im so afraid of heights, but man that looks like FUN!! Especially the slide!!!! Omg that looks AWESOME! These Gatlinburg videos have been extremely entertaining 👍🏼 Im so in love with that city.
🎩 ((Watched & Liked!))

👍🏼👍🏼
Cool amusements like these that adds to Gatlinburg being a destination more than just a stop.
That is one of our favorite places to go on vacation with our kids.
Love this place so much . Need to visit soon again.
Some fun memories at Ober last year. I could have done the Alpine Ski all day long... Not a fan of the maze though being out in the hot sun... Yeeshh... The third carousel creature is a Ele(phant)duck... I mean of course it is... The carpet adds to the retro ambiance. "Reminds me of them good ole days of Cypress Gardens..." ;-)
I enjoy your videos so much. Thank you. Watcher from South Africa.
Oh, those chairlift rides look so peaceful! Um... unless I hear a distance rumble of thunder. Yikes!Lol! Thank you for taking us along. It's now raining here in Michigan. Sigh.
Wow! I forgot I went on this back in 82. How cool!!!!
We were up there Christmas 2016 right after the fires. Glad to see that the area is coming back. Was really sad to see all the damage and loss of personal homes and businesses.
We’re planning a trip to Gatlinburg and area, you’re making my to-do list so long.
Awesome video. A labyrinth always changes !!
I want to visit this. I love alpine slides. I rode one in vermont. It was so fun.
I want to go here so bad! What an amazing trip. Need the kids to grow a couple more years, i can't wait!
Thank you Mr. Woo for showing us these beautiful places around the world 🙌👍🤝
We will be going here in June for the first time. We are excited and this video just made me more excited😁😁
Me too. We'll be down there starting June 11th. So excited!
A blast from the past, found it very relaxing, I don’t know why?
Brings back so many childhood memories
enjoyed learning the names of the otters. You and Jacob the Carpetbagger are such a fun duo to watch back to back!
That’s okay.... I probably won’t EVER get on one because of fear of heights but it’s nice to be able to see it through your lens. Nice
I'm originally from this neck of the woods. Loved seeing it from your point of view.
10:31 That’s absolutely amazing! I’m colorblind and have never truly gotten to experience the colors of the world! Can’t wait to go there this weekend!
I once did a alpine slide as a kid. I remember at the top we had to carry the heavy cars for quite a ways from the lift to get to the track. I went a little too slow on it and the guy behind me came close to ramming into me. My dad was on the other track and was so jostled around that his elbow managed to rub against the track a few times scraping it all up. He still has a scar there. Great memories, mostly slightly terrifying.
14:29 Love these images. SO peaceful. SO lushly quiet. Heaven. Thank you for sharing. 😊😊😊
I loved watching this video! It was almost like being there with you, the sights and sounds were wonderful. I was there as a child nearly 50 years ago. Thank you for this video!!
Love the carpetbagger and did not see that coming!! Love it!
Lol! "Let's not kiss...let's just smile and wave. " I lost a mouthful of Joe on that one!
I read this comment before watching the video and thought we might get some love life insight but as usuall ATW is a man of mystery.
Im sure Joe will understand.
@@SithLordAnakin that was unnecessary.
@@SithLordAnakin !!! LOLing all over the office.
@@pirategirl58 Sorry but it was kinda funny, No?.
Alpines slide vehicles, better know as sleds . Omgosh the old sky buckets are now aerial tramways 😄
Hell yes I’ve got to ride the slide!!! Just like they had on sugar Mtn. In n.c. When I was little!!!🥰🙌🏼❤️ I tore my elbows and feet up on that thang….🥰🤣
Its like the modern day ghost town in the sky that was in Maggie valley nc.that was a coll place to go as a kid had cowboys and Indians fighting in the streets old style saloon shows,a small powwowing with native American dancing and explained what the dances ment and several amusement park rides.the swings and the roller coaster went out past the side of the mountain which was a really cool bonus.
I remember those merry go rounds,there was one at kmart .we always had to ride it. I wanna go here! Laughed at your "woowoowoo" sounds ! Thanks for entertaining me.
Moving to Knoxville TN from Orange County CA at the end of October and Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and the Smokies will soon be in my backyard!
Cool video. Many arcade game memories and those market kiddie rides. Sure I rode some in upstate NY.
Thank you for the lovely memories Woo....thank you very much!
Jacob is the man, nice to have him back on the big showwwww.
I was expecting an Over the Top style rematch! This place really does have a time capsule atmosphere. The game area reminds me of Showbiz Pizza.
Ha !
Ah I love when you and Jacob get together. :)
Good to see that place back! Last I was there a bit ago it was still burnt to the ground and you could smell the smoke in the air. My son wants to go back for his birthday again. Not too far from nashville.
Nothing at all wrong with this video. LOVED the coverage..... perfect length...funny moments... felt like I was hangin out with you guys. I often use this video to go to sleep with as i love hearing all of the audio and it makes me think of the VIDEO... which i can see .... as i listen... its SUPER relaxing and OMG... I can watch this video over and over and over again. Thanks Adam... and Jacob.... you guys ROCK!!
You're doing a perfect job. Keep up the long shots
Jacob...out of nowhere like a run in my stockings!
So Retro!
Gorgeous shots of the houses at 3:44. Last time I was there was about 30 years ago and took long shots using a VHS Camcorder while riding in the lifts. Good thing all that heavy equipment is practically a museum piece by now.
We were there last August and it was great experience. I had no idea it would also be my last vacation with my Dad but I'm so thankful the time to visit the city we used to go to every summer growing up. Always enjoy the adventure which is exactly how I found your channel and fell in love with the messaging of "Everyday is an Adventure" with Adam!
I lost my Dad a couple months ago too and my parents took us here a couple times growing up :( So sad. Sorry for your loss.
Thank you for these very good videos of what is currently available to do in the Gatlinburg to pigeon forge area only a month before I take my trip there it has changed a lot since my last visit
Well not ober Gatlinburg it's kind of just a time capsule which is really nice to know I can step back into time
Cujo Oddie and Uncle Harry were the best part of this video. I love your Gatlinburg videos best. Keep up your great work.
WANT TO WELCOME YOU BACK TO TENNESSEE THANK YOU FOR COMING
Gatlinburg is one of the places I've always wanted to visit. Love the peaceful video of the open air tram ride! Great content! Thank you!
Thanks for the memories. I spent part of my honeymoon there. Now divorced.
It looks like older style design because i think it was built in the late 70s. It looks like it did when i was a little kid back then. Had less stuff in the lower lobby back then. I remember way back and the main building at top i wandered around in and came out a staircase and out onto a landing that looked over a huge tall room that looked like a bavarian castle with big dining tables and wooden beams above.
We'll be there in three weeks! Can't wait!
Awesome !!
Well that looks like a fab day. Loved the music. Oh yes. The Goatman is real 👍🏻🇬🇧😊
Love watching your videos , especially when you and carpetbagger are in it .
This is alot better video than the carpetbaggers
Jacob is a fat slob adam wannabe. Hes been ridin his coattails like he wants to blow him every second for years now
@@jrwizz That's a nasty f'n thing for you to say! Maybe you don't know how friends treat each other because I'm guessing you dont have any! If you dont like the content in Adam's videos then just move on. We love Adam and his videos and his friends and by the way...we despise people like you that hates life! Get lost!
Ober Gatlinburg was my first job. I always thought that this place was lacking so much. That could be because I had to be there every day lol. Anyway, love the videos! Nice to see you in my neck of the woods 😁
I for one happen to love your long drawn-out shots.
Ocala Florida loves you Adam.
Thanks Kenneth
@@TheDailyWoo holy smokes I can't believe you replied to one of my comments.
This is really exciting 🤩
You guys sure had a lot of fun!
I’m from Maryville, TN, (not far from Cades Cove) and Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, are only about a beautiful 35 minute drive-through the mountains-away for me, so I try to visit both cities very often. The only problem with me visiting Ober Gatlinburg is that, I cannot get on the tramway, or any kind of lifts to go up there, because I hate heights. However.....the good thing that a lot of people don’t know-not unless they are local or familiar with the area-there is a road that you can drive up that will take you to Ober Gatlinburg. If there any people reading this that would like to visit Ober Gatlinburg, but are afraid of heights, all you have to do is ask one of the local businesses how to get to the Chalet Village, because the main road that the Chalet Village is on, takes you straight up to the top of the mountain to Ober Gatlinburg. It’s a curvy road, and kind of a narrow road, but it’s a beautiful drive, and it’s a great alternative to getting on the tram if you have an issue with heights. Just thought I’d put that out there in case anyone needed the information.
I enjoy when you take us on new adventures!
