    Adam, I had been watching a number of your videos with the larger theme parks and new attractions, then started watching your videos of visits to the smaller but always interesting out of the way roadside museums plus the attractions in places like Gatlinburg and North Carolina. I am 71 years old, a former Marine Corps Captain and a retired emergency medicine Physician Assistant, but after watching your visit to Mt Airy and the Andy Griffith sites (seeing places we didn't even go to on our last visit) and realizing your videos are comprehensive and informative, I decided to subscribe. I have become "addicted" to the videos. Strong work!

    Wooow. Adam's video of his original trip to The Thing is how I found his channel in the first place. I actually just rewatched that old video last night. It's still one of my favorite classic ATW videos but you can tell how much he has improved with his video quality and filming quality since then. It's crazy to see how different this attraction is now. Back then it was just a series of very narrow, crude buildings full of random weird stuff like cars, creepy carved stick creatures and little dioramas of medieval torture. Also Adam didn't show us what The Thing looked like in the original visit. I do really wish he had brought back the creepy whispering of the words "The Thing" from his original video. That was so memorable to me, lol.

    Last time Jacob was there the place seemed pretty basic. But the new additions really make it worth that $5. Very cool! Such a creative alien vs. dinosaur story, that would make a fun movie... (As an aside, I always wondered if the 1947 Roswell crash did alter history. Seems like that's when computer technology started to take off.) Nice that they let you film it, kinda surprised by that actually. Thing water? You sure that's safe to drink?! Anyway, great job man. Kindled my interest in this RS attraction!
