Instagram- AdamTheWooATW I’ve always felt Marceline was much more of real Main Street idea that Walt had but after now visiting Fort Collins it’s obvious quite a bit also cane from Colorado . A melding of the two . I’m still team Marceline all the way tho for a better vibe of that Main Street USA feel
Thanks for showing Fort Collins. I have never been there, but I can see some of the connection to Disney as you pointed out. To the best of my understanding, the original inspiration for the Disney World train station was from the train station in Saratoga Springs, NY. It burned down in 1899 and is now a movie theater, but you can still see remnants of the old tracks near by. Saratoga Springs was also the inspiration for Disney's Saratoga Springs resort.
It's 1951, and Harper Goff is in London, England at a miniature model train store. Goff fell in love with an old-time locomotive - he decided he had to have it for his collection. The shopkeeper promised the locomotive to another man who was to come by the store later that day. Goff returned to the same store that afternoon and the man who was interested was also there. He introduced himself to Harper Goff. "Hi, I Walt Disney". Of course, Disney didn't know who Harper was, but Harper knew who he just met. They started chatting. Goff mentioned that he worked as an artist and also worked in movies. - now. (this is paraphrased from Colorado Life magazine). However, as we might guess, the rest is history. At some point, I will drive up to Ft. Collins and do my own video based on the article. Great video! You certainly caught the Main Street vibe of downtown Fort Collins.
I’ve grown up and lived in Fort Collins for almost 10 years and the love I have for my home town is huge!! I love it so much here, I was in old town yesterday actually and I just love to people watch and admire my town
Thank you Adam for covering the past few days in Colorado! I’m a native here and live in FoCo (Fort Collins). You did everything justice, especially the Stanley and Fort Collins. My mom was good friends with one of the prior owners of the Stanley. My mom just passed away within the past couple of weeks so these videos helped bring me some happiness during a sad and difficult time. Sorry that your Coors Field visit stunk. Beautiful ballpark overall and so unfortunate that a single individual ruined what should have been a nice evening at the ballpark. If you are ever in the area again feel free to hit me up. I’ll go with you to the ballpark.
Well i felt like a passenger today Adam, enjoyed seeing the wonderful scenery, that mural was amazing, never seen a one quite like that, but wow that train, flipping loud, nearly blew my ears out lol, Thankyou
Hi Adam the Woo. I was born in Ft. Collins back in Dec of '69. We then moved 2 Memphis Tennessee. Lived there until I was 4. Then back 2 Colorful Colorado until summer of '81. Then off 2 Nebraska. Still there. Thank you 4 letting us join you. Very interesting. My bucket list would 2 go visit Ft. Collins again. I have a sweatshirt that says, Where it all began Fort Collins Colorado. There is a empty space towards the bottom & my wife wrote 1969 there. Have a blessed night. Be safe out there. God is your pilot. Right Big the Foot.😉💕🙏🏼🌜😎👍🏼
Wow that was fun watching and like another viewer said, it was interesting seeing my own town through a visitor. I have a new appreciation for Old Town, especially the pieces of history spread throughout! Thanks for doing this video!!
FoCo is our home!!! So awesome you made it to do the downtown tour!! We’re always inviting people to come visit and do the Harper Goff history tour! It’s such a cool connection! Wish we had known you were coming through! Sad we missed you! Awesome video! Love that you visited the Dam store too! Such a good tourist trap!! 😂Love that you found the Harper Goff mural! It’s full of little details that tell the story of Goff’s life including how he met Walt and the contributions he made to film and the parks! Glad you found the jungle cruise boat and the fire house 5 shout out! There is also a submarine from 20,000 leagues and a tribute to his contributions to Willy Wonka. The Walt and Goff conversation is a reference to how they met when they both went for the same model train in a London gift shop in 1951. The old firehouse bookstore was the architectural inspiration for the fire station and the Nature’s own gift shop was the inspiration for the emporium. They think that coke mural wall would have contained a mural of some kind in Goff’s childhood days. You will need to come visit someday when the Birney street cars are running! One of our favorite summer time activities and they give a great history shoutout to the trolly days! Welcome to Wyoming with the 60 mph winds!!! 😂😂 Fun little stop Adam! Love that you made it to out to our neck of the woods!
Yes that’s what the street cars were called! Fun story, my mom used to ride it as a young girl and went to the movies on the street car. She and some friends went to a double feature of the classic Dracula and Frankenstein movies - this was in the 1940’s. They had to walk home in the dark because the street cars stopped running! To this day she will not watch those movies!
good adventure Adam like Colorado I've been there on a visit with my family, my mother that's no longer around she pass in 2014 anyway she had a friend from her old highschool to see her friend live in Boulder. thanks for sharing this volg.👍👍😎📹 this was in 1994 that she visits her friend. we went with her to see it as a family.
Because of the Jackalope comment, I went into a RUclips rabbit hole and watched a clip of Dave Coulier playing the Jackalope on America's Funniest People, which was co-hosted by Arleen Sorkin, the first actress to voice Harley Quinn, and found a video of her playing a harlequin-like character on Days of Our Lives, that influenced her college buddy Paul Dini, who was creating Batman: the animated series to create the character of Harley Quinn. Thanks, Adam!
Great trip!!!! Also loved the bottle of water at the rest stop!!! Brilliant not saying a word and ending with the good old bottle crush. Epic segment!!!!!
Lived in Ft.collins for like 18 years and walked all over Ft,collins and worked in the dorms of CSU, I also planted a lot of plants and trees Dog woods around the dorms Made Ft.Collins Greener Verry Beautiful place to Live and raise Children.Thanks Man
Love Fort Collins ! Home of Colorado state university.....I have been hiking and trout fishing up big Thompson river and canyon.....beautiful area ....thanks and stay safe always....go bolts....⚡
The painting on the electrical box in the ally was a replica of American Gothic.. so cool.. That mural was amazing! I bet you can find something you missed every time you look at the pics.
Thank you for exploring CO and not letting your time in DT Denver ruin it. You gave me the CO road trip we had to miss out on this year. We are loving this road trip, Adam! South Dakota is amazing. Bear Country is a fun place to go. Just sayin!
I have family that live outside of Fort Collins. My nephew and wife and three kids moved there from Sarasota Florida. They were sick of the humidity in Florida. They love it there.
Love that you’re checking out Colorado! I went to college in Fort Collins in the early ‘00s and it has grown a Ton. College street wasn’t nearly as busy. They’ve widened the road since then. Still pretty. Knew the Disney tie in and love that you’re sharing this, Thanks Adam!
Welcome to FoCo Adam! So fun to see you visit our hometown. So much of this I didn’t know and I’ve lived here for over 20 years. It’s such a wonderful place to live, glad you enjoyed it.
When I visited Fort Collins 2 years ago I liked the old trolley tracks in the road. Thanks for the classic water bottle crush. Shoutout to America’s Funniest People! We watched that as a family when I was young.
I discovered your channel just the other day on your video from Glenwood to Denver & then your Stanley Hotel one. Thoroughly enjoyed them, especially because we live in Colorado! You have a new fan!!!!! Great videos! I laughed when you were chugging water in front of the Chugging sign! Safe travels! And, you live in Florida, where I’m originally from!
🤣 @22.56 It almost seems like the train driver knew that would happen and blasted the horn at the perfect time .. Great show Adamthewoo. Ya looking fit and healthy, less stessed ... 👍👍💞💞🍹
I grew up in Ft. Collins. Went to middle school, graduated high school (Poudre High class of '08), my parents still live in the house we moved in to back in 2002, currently live in Denver. Seeing all of these sites just makes me feel like i'm 15 again walking around my little town with my high school friends.
I lovvveeddd seeing you crush that bottle. And I really loved this vlog and seeing how excited you get over the sights you see. It never ever gets old ❣️
Yay! It’s Adam! 🧔🏻♂️🥰 My Uncle and Aunt live in Fort Collins, Co and I have been there and it’s beautiful!!Woo Hoo! I love your enthusiasm today!🥳❤️💙💜🎉 Awesome video! 🏔 ⛰
Adam, you visiting Fort Collins, Co and the Harper mural I found a connection to my city(Houston,Tx). I was watching your video and saw in the middle of the mural to have the city of Houston logo. After a little research found out the Harper Goff worked for Roy Hofhienz and help him built Astroworld (park, hotel and a train car for train to pull with VIP’s). Learn something new everyday.
I have lived in Fort Collins my entire life (25 years) and never knew about Harper Goff! Thank you for sharing awesome information about our beloved city, such a cool video!
Always a treat to be along for the ride and hear a lot of info and highlights of these towns on your travels..you make it a fun trip and as for me, I learn a lot of things about these places across the country I probably would have never known.... even though I have been across country a handful of times. 🤗
Adam, really enjoyed your vlog! I've been to Wyoming and to South Dakota to Mount Rushmore and it was really and truly awesome! Looking forward to seeing your next vlog. Thank you for taking me along with you!
That Chris Bates mural was amazing, might have to look up more pictures of that later to catch all the other details. Definitely recognized the Disneyland City Hall influence from that Happy Lucky's Teahouse building, similar in shape if not in detail, and just a bit more fancified with that grande ole Disney flair. You can almost imagine where Walt's lamp would be by the window over that teahouse awning. Lovely. Edit: Well the lamp is at the firehouse but its a bit more square so I'm mashing buildings together myself here as I look at things👍
Really enjoyed watching this video! Brought back many memories of the time I spent in Ft. Collins. That mural was beautiful. Nice Share, enjoyed watching from beginning to end👍🏻
Hey, this is where I live! Cool to see someone make a video about it. Fort Collins didn’t used to be this crowded. We have seen a lot of growth over the years unfortunately.
Another great video. Adam, have been rewatching your old videos and I saw that your Hollywood Forever Cemetery video from 3 years ago has 1.1m views. Wow!
I used to live near Ft. Collins! I took my kids to The Exchange all the time. There’s a bar in there with mini golf inside. In the courtyard you can play corn hole. There are tons of food options. It has a food truck/street food vibe. I have eaten at that Brazilian steak house dozens of times.
Ok had a chance to watch the Fort Collins part! I never realized that Disney used parts of old town for Disneyland! I’ll have to tell my mom! I didn’t see the firehouse in your video but when I was there 25 or so years ago for a family reunion, it was pointed out that it was where grandpa worked. This would have been in the 1940s. Mom lived there until she was 13. The firehouse is now a historic landmark. There also used to be a historic trolly that you could ride and my mom remembered riding it as a young girl. I believe it was electric but I’m sure around the turn of the century it was horse drawn. My grandmother also grew up there so she might have ridden the horse drawn version. I still have various 2nd cousins and their families there.
I lived in Fort Collins for over 40 years and, when young, lived in some of those buildings in old town. I've heard before that main street was modeled on Old Town, but very cool the way you brought it all out! I wondered why Ft Collins was the model.
Loved this video! Reminded me of my childhood! I have alot of relatives in the Fort Collins area. My kids are looking forward to exploring downtown next time we visit. I grew up on a farm in Wyoming, my grandparents lived on a ranch outside of Chugwater. Loved the part when you chugged the water! My kids and I look forward to your vlogs, always eager to watch your next adventure.
Thank you so much for doing this video you actually went to my college town today and I love this place I hope you can come back and explore more of it because it’s such a great town
Thank you for your beautiful and interesting video that makes me dream of travel and new places. For me who lives in France it is a real change to see America, the train is huge comparing to our trains made for short distances it gives vertigo ! Have a nice week I will wait for your next video. A big hello from France
Loved this whole thing....Didn't know the Disney connection before this. 19:09 - those are some serious clouds. Love the footage! I always have to highlight the humour, so.....drum roll please.... 19:47 - there ya go. Haven't seen the bottle crush in a while. And I dig chasing the train. 21:09 - you do a better Dave than Dave has ever done. You always out-do yourself on these travel vlogs. I could just watch the road footage forever. 22:41 - with headphones on - I think I shook more than the camera....LOL. Absolutely fantastic footage. Love it. Look forward to the next vid. Safe travels, God speed. Take care.
That's a wonderfully designed mural. Great intricate free hand style incorperated into the design. And such an odd uneven space to work with. Most impressive. (7:08)
Welcome to South Dakota! Be sure t stop by the beautiful waterfalls in Sioux Falls. And take in the Old Courthouse Museum which houses the first American four-door car and several pieces of John Dillinger history.
Looking at the mural of Harper Goff and seeing all the little details reminds me of looking at the Tree of Life and trying to see all the animals. 🤔 I have to think that Ft Collins has changed a lot over the last 70 years since he took pictures. It would be interesting to see what they looked like. Enjoy your trip.
Wonderful video. I loved it. I'm so glad you are going into SD. It's my favorite State besides the Smoky Mountains. I hope we get to see a lot of SD on your video. You missed Devil's Tower (close encounters of the 3rd kind) Maybe next time. Thanks for sharing your explorations with us. Be safe and Happy Trails.
What an outstanding day! From CO beauty, the Dam lol, the Fort, Disney inspired back info, Chugging water in Chugwater lol, amazing trains shot and laugh at the WOO howl!!, hanging with deer...just another day in the life of Adam the Woo 😁 Awesome!
I loved todays video and looking forward to what you’ll be up to in SD. However, really was hoping you would visit Devil’s Tower; I can’t recall you ever having gone there. Scenery is spectacular on those drives
I live in Fort Collins! Hope you enjoyed your time here! Also the street car does still run, but only part of it's original track. Starts at City Park.
I grew up in Fort Collins, and as a teenager have trod those old town streets many times. I had no idea that it served as a partial inspiration for a Disney World theme park, nor did I know who Goff was, though I vaguely remember seeing his name here and there, in old town from time to time. So thanks for that, as I learned a lot from this vid.
If it's not too late adam, fish hatchery in the Black Hills used to transport trout by train in cars filled with ice water! At the town of Spearfish. Museum still has one of the ice cars.

I’ve always felt Marceline was much more of real Main Street idea that Walt had but after now visiting Fort Collins it’s obvious quite a bit also cane from Colorado . A melding of the two . I’m still team Marceline all the way tho for a better vibe of that Main Street USA feel
glad you pinned this comment, was gonna say.
You should be a Disney historian because you seem to know a lot about it.
Thanks for showing Fort Collins. I have never been there, but I can see some of the connection to Disney as you pointed out.

Been to Ft Collins. Love the area. The views are gorgeous. Love hearing the history of these towns and the Disney connection. Thank you for sharing👍
Major Disney vibes also reminds me of whiskey row in Prescott AZ

These road trip vids are amazing Adam!! We appreciate you!
Ditto
Anyone else keep their map tabs open? Looking up each road and city? Lol. Thx for the virtual road trips!!!
I’ve grown up and lived in Fort Collins for almost 10 years and the love I have for my home town is huge!! I love it so much here, I was in old town yesterday actually and I just love to people watch and admire my town

Another great vlog and you are hilarious! ( Chugging your water at Chugwater Rest Stop😂😂)
This is my moms hometown! My grandfather was a fireman in the old firehouse. Can’t wait to watch!
America the beautiful. Thanks Adam, another great vlog!🇺🇸
Wow that was fun watching and like another viewer said, it was interesting seeing my own town through a visitor. I have a new appreciation for Old Town, especially the pieces of history spread throughout! Thanks for doing this video!!
The Fort is where its at! Been living here and started the sanctuary here.
Another great daily vlog. Can just watch these on repeat. Thanks again.
The street reminded of Main Street USA but all the construction also reminded me of Epcot 😂
Fact! Lol

Yep she indeed was !
"The entire Tallness of the building..." Adam, I love your personality dude.
Woo!! Thanks for coming to Fort Collins, my favorite CO town, magical "little" town.
Awesome nods to the parks. I liked the Chugwater sequence and it's simplicity haha.
If I ever have the opportunity to leave my husband, I'm moving to Ft. Collins. What a beautiful town. Thank you for this
I love the entire video, but the Chugwater bit! LOL!
I had to !
Great trip!!!! Also loved the bottle of water at the rest stop!!! Brilliant not saying a word and ending with the good old bottle crush. Epic segment!!!!!
Lived in Ft.collins for like 18 years and walked all over Ft,collins and worked in the dorms of CSU, I also planted a lot of plants and trees Dog woods around the dorms Made Ft.Collins Greener Verry Beautiful place to Live and raise Children.Thanks Man
Love Fort Collins ! Home of Colorado state university.....I have been hiking and trout fishing up big Thompson river and canyon.....beautiful area ....thanks and stay safe always....go bolts....⚡
Adam! There were so many great things to see in this video! I found myself going back and back to see things again. Thank you for sharing this trip.
The painting on the electrical box in the ally was a replica of American Gothic.. so cool.. That mural was amazing! I bet you can find something you missed every time you look at the pics.
This vlog is beautiful Adam! Thank you!!!! the Goff mural is awesome! I feel like I'm there with you.
More from my Home State, still in my heart and soul, thank you so much, safe travels all the way. Shall be there with you.
Thank you for exploring CO and not letting your time in DT Denver ruin it. You gave me the CO road trip we had to miss out on this year. We are loving this road trip, Adam! South Dakota is amazing. Bear Country is a fun place to go. Just sayin!
Fun to watch. I grew up just down the road from D-Land. 1st. Visit...about 1957/8ish. That huge $10 fee was something we had to save up for
I have family that live outside of Fort Collins. My nephew and wife and three kids moved there from Sarasota Florida. They were sick of the humidity in Florida. They love it there.
Love that you’re checking out Colorado! I went to college in Fort Collins in the early ‘00s and it has grown a Ton. College street wasn’t nearly as busy. They’ve widened the road since then. Still pretty. Knew the Disney tie in and love that you’re sharing this, Thanks Adam!
Fort Collins is my hometown been here all my life I love it
Very interesting. Learning a lot about the inspiration of Disney in your videos, thanks. Looks like a place I would like to visit someday
Welcome to FoCo Adam! So fun to see you visit our hometown. So much of this I didn’t know and I’ve lived here for over 20 years. It’s such a wonderful place to live, glad you enjoyed it.
When I visited Fort Collins 2 years ago I liked the old trolley tracks in the road. Thanks for the classic water bottle crush. Shoutout to America’s Funniest People! We watched that as a family when I was young.

Love your travel vlogs, so beautiful, thank you.
While I'm not familiar with the Disney streets, I'm enjoying you getting such a kick out of it! Thank you for bringing us along.
Love the trains Adam! And your reaction to how LOUD it was! 💜💙💚 thanks again for another awesome video. 😁
The robots at 9:50 were a play on American Gothic by Grant Woods! Loved this video Adam

So beautiful where you are, I lived in Fort Collins in the 70s. I loved it. Have fun!

hello Adam , another interesting , that was a really nice town , love the name of that rest stop lol , well done and thank you again :)
Hey, this is where I live! Cool to see someone make a video about it. Fort Collins didn’t used to be this crowded. We have seen a lot of growth over the years unfortunately.
The lawns sure looked green and nice. On top of good looking towns. Great video.

Hi Adam thanks for having us on your journey respect ❤️🙏
I used to live near Ft. Collins! I took my kids to The Exchange all the time. There’s a bar in there with mini golf inside. In the courtyard you can play corn hole. There are tons of food options. It has a food truck/street food vibe. I have eaten at that Brazilian steak house dozens of times.
Grew up in Fort Collins. This made me homesick!
Ok had a chance to watch the Fort Collins part! I never realized that Disney used parts of old town for Disneyland! I’ll have to tell my mom!

I had no idea about Fort Collins CO.. I can't wait to go there. Thank you for introducing me to another corner of the USA I need to visit.
Thank you so much for doing this video you actually went to my college town today and I love this place I hope you can come back and explore more of it because it’s such a great town
Thank you for your beautiful and interesting video that makes me dream of travel and new places. For me who lives in France it is a real change to see America, the train is huge comparing to our trains made for short distances it gives vertigo ! Have a nice week I will wait for your next video. A big hello from France
Loved this whole thing....Didn't know the Disney connection before this. 19:09 - those are some serious clouds. Love the footage! I always have to highlight the humour, so.....drum roll please.... 19:47 - there ya go. Haven't seen the bottle crush in a while. And I dig chasing the train. 21:09 - you do a better Dave than Dave has ever done. You always out-do yourself on these travel vlogs. I could just watch the road footage forever. 22:41 - with headphones on - I think I shook more than the camera....LOL. Absolutely fantastic footage. Love it. Look forward to the next vid. Safe travels, God speed. Take care.
That's a wonderfully designed mural. Great intricate free hand style incorperated into the design. And such an odd uneven space to work with. Most impressive. (7:08)
Yay!!! You crushed a waterbottle, like " old" times. 🤣
this is a really cool old town thanks for sharing it and your thoughts on it
Welcome to South Dakota! Be sure t stop by the beautiful waterfalls in Sioux Falls. And take in the Old Courthouse Museum which houses the first American four-door car and several pieces of John Dillinger history.
Awesome episode Adam. More please 🙏
Hope you get to stop at more places in Nebraska on your way through!! You are traveling our favorite route to and from Estes!
Gotta love the Big Thompson and The Fort!
I'm really enjoying your road trips and small towns thanks Adam
Thanks Dawn
We like the trips that you have given us..be safe careful take care God Bless..
Classic walk n talk, dig it👏🏼👏🏼
I remember when the Poudre Canyon had a massive flood. 1976. Beautiful drive. Fascinating backstory. Why I tune into the Woo.
Looking at the mural of Harper Goff and seeing all the little details reminds me of looking at the Tree of Life and trying to see all the animals. 🤔 I have to think that Ft Collins has changed a lot over the last 70 years since he took pictures. It would be interesting to see what they looked like. Enjoy your trip.
Wonderful video. I loved it. I'm so glad you are going into SD. It's my favorite State besides the Smoky Mountains. I hope we get to see a lot of SD on your video. You missed Devil's Tower (close encounters of the 3rd kind) Maybe next time. Thanks for sharing your explorations with us. Be safe and Happy Trails.
What an outstanding day! From CO beauty, the Dam lol, the Fort, Disney inspired back info, Chugging water in Chugwater lol, amazing trains shot and laugh at the WOO howl!!, hanging with deer...just another day in the life of Adam the Woo 😁 Awesome!
I loved todays video and looking forward to what you’ll be up to in SD. However, really was hoping you would visit Devil’s Tower; I can’t recall you ever having gone there. Scenery is spectacular on those drives
If you stay on I-90 and make it to Austin Mn you’ll be at the home of Spam. Hormel is based in Austin and has a museum there.
Another great drive, thanks Adam. 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Really enjoyed this, live in Fort Collins, from Wyo..this is something i never knew...also...u funny guy, got me with the Chugwater scene lmao!!
I live in Fort Collins! Hope you enjoyed your time here! Also the street car does still run, but only part of it's original track. Starts at City Park.
I grew up in Fort Collins, and as a teenager have trod those old town streets many times. I had no idea that it served as a partial inspiration for a Disney World theme park, nor did I know who Goff was, though I vaguely remember seeing his name here and there, in old town from time to time. So thanks for that, as I learned a lot from this vid.
Adam the Woo goes Woo at @23:00. ...WOOOOOOO!
Totally Alfred Hitchcock cameo Woo
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
If it's not too late adam, fish hatchery in the Black Hills used to transport trout by train in cars filled with ice water! At the town of Spearfish. Museum still has one of the ice cars.
