second channel daily Vlog
1:07
Channel thanks for sticking around it's
1:09
the daily woo on a non smoggy day you
1:13
can see downtown Los Angeles from the
1:15
top of this
1:17
overpass way off in the distance you
1:20
could see it you can barely see it if
1:22
you look closely Straight Ahead downtown
1:26
LA we're not going to Downtown LA we're
1:29
going some somewhere else looking for a
1:31
place called George Bellis Park and this
1:34
is it right
1:36
here the area I'm standing at now is the
1:39
last undeveloped section of a former
1:42
Roadside Attraction in bua Park
1:44
California and I use the word
1:46
undeveloped lightly CU as you can see
1:48
there are baseball fields that have been
1:51
put here but if you go on the property
1:53
just a little bit farther that way there
1:55
are warehouses and businesses and Roads
1:59
decades ago
2:00
this whole section was totally different
2:03
and I brought my laptop along with me to
2:05
give you a little frame of reference
2:07
this is the map of the former Japanese
2:09
village and as best I can tell we are
2:11
currently standing somewhere in this
2:14
area here now it
2:18
looks like this from what I can tell by
2:21
doing some research online this place
2:23
was pretty awesome very well themed they
2:25
had a lot of deer running around a lot
2:27
of animals a lot of shows there's even a
2:29
Wikipedia article on the information
2:32
about this spot Japanese village and
2:34
Deer Park the Park first opened in 1967
2:38
at the address of
2:40
6122 not Avenue the Park closed in
2:43
1975 when it was sold along with the
2:46
movie land wax museum that's over by
2:50
knottsberry farm and here is the insane
2:53
thing almost 200 deer were
2:58
euthanized 200 100 deer just think about
3:02
that for a second 200 live animals
3:05
because of the closure of a theme park
3:09
were put to
3:10
sleep that would not happen in these
3:12
days at least I hope not all through
3:15
here were all types of themed Pavilions
3:19
ponds shows attractions places to get
3:23
food tourists all along through here you
3:27
can see not a whole heck of a when it
3:30
comes to remnants of the park itself and
3:33
once you get a little farther in you can
3:35
see those warehouses that I'm talking
3:37
about it's really hard to designate
3:40
where each of the attractions used to
3:42
sit I don't think that workout equipment
3:45
was here back then though that's right
3:47
come on here come on this large tree
3:49
here could have been back in the day
3:52
though that right there is probably
3:53
survived that long this might have
3:56
seen might have seen some things back in
3:59
the day
4:00
okay that was the bottom part of the
4:01
property let's drive up the road a
4:03
little and see if we can find where the
4:05
entryway was you look way off in the
4:07
distance you can see the five freeway
4:09
which a lot of people would pull off
4:11
that freeway to get into the park now
4:13
this road here Village I do not think
4:17
this road existed back then this was an
4:18
access road that was built once these
4:21
Warehouse all came into play I think
4:23
we're kind of about right in here where
4:25
the entryway was where that Village Road
4:30
was created here in this little
4:31
Warehouse region I think that's pretty
4:34
much where we are here was the entryway
4:38
into Japanese Village right there this
4:40
parking area is All That Remains of the
4:42
first Glimpse off the freeway of the
4:45
park itself now you can see no remnants
4:49
left but there's the freeway right there
4:51
in the distance so check this out the
4:53
freeway in my opinion runs right along
4:56
here and this sign of course we're
4:58
trying to catch the eye of all the
5:00
freeway passer buyers which means the
5:04
sign would have been right about in this
5:08
area here catching all the drivers going
5:12
to and fro saying come on into the
5:15
Japanese Village look at this old
5:17
pamphlet visit the Fuji folk at Japanese
5:21
Village 60 122 not Avenue Buena par
5:27
California the Fuji
5:31
folk you could meet the Fuji folk out
5:34
here I want to know where on property
5:36
this slide was was this like a kidy pool
5:39
out here could anyone that paid
5:41
admission just slide down that slide you
5:44
think that guy right there slid down
5:48
that slide at some point in his
5:51
career maybe there's an old postcard
5:54
barking sea
5:57
lions those sea lions
6:00
they were
6:06
barking huh I kind of want to see what
6:06
it looks like from the freeway here's a
6:09
sign designating not Avenue spray
6:11
painted on the side of that electrical
6:13
box and up there that's the entrance
6:16
into Orange County as you drive along
6:19
the five
6:22
freeway off to the right hand
6:25
side is the former Japanese Village now
6:29
I get to walk down the Steep
6:32
incline whoa
6:39
whoo whoa wo wo
6:39
whoa wo
6:42
oh oh my
6:46
gosh I could have tripped right there
6:48
that would have been bad could have
6:49
fallen one of those snake holes oops I
6:51
just now saw this sign guess I shouldn't
6:54
have walked up
6:55
there sorry
7:01
since we're so close it's only a mile
7:01
from property to property let's check
7:03
out the movie land wax museum that was
7:05
also sold in
7:08
1975 according to that Wikipedia article
7:10
anyway it's cool they still have the
7:12
1970 sign right up there it's now used
7:15
as a Titanic and a Bodies Exhibition
7:18
speaking of Titanic did you see that
7:20
awesome thing that they put on the
7:21
Titanic YouTube channel the entire 2 and
7:24
1/2 hour realtime simulation of the
7:27
sinking of the Titanic I think they
7:29
upload loaded a couple days ago pretty
7:31
freaking cool you can still see some
7:33
remnants of the old movie land wax
7:35
museum right in here look at the theming
7:37
on this backside of course you can't go
7:39
past this chain link fence and what have
7:42
we here say it ain't so a broken Bart
7:47
Simpson
7:50
skateboard don't have a cow man this
7:52
place was so popular back in the day
7:54
celebrities put their handprints here
7:58
what's up brother I have to be the
8:00
bearer of sad news Titanic the
8:03
exhibition which took over this building
8:05
I just realized according to a sign on
8:07
the front of the door is now closed
8:10
that's super strange I wonder why it
8:12
closed speaking of Titanic exhibitions
8:14
and Exhibits check out the one in Pigeon
8:16
Forge pretty freaking awesome they have
8:19
built a replica like a quarter length or
8:22
maybe a half size replica of the Titanic
8:25
itself so cool
8:29
America's first theme park since I was
8:32
right next door to knottsberry farm I
8:34
decided to take advantage of my annual
8:36
pass and my free refill mug and stop in
8:40
for a very short
8:46
while time for Coast Rider and look who
8:49
it is it's Justin scarred you've never
8:52
been on this before nope we're going to
8:54
do it right now you all right I'm
8:57
genuinely terrified of these kind of
8:58
rides for real you'll be all right like
9:00
not an on camera funny this scares me
9:03
just pretend it's goofy Skys school at
9:05
DCA it does not help yeah it's pretty
9:07
terrifying but if it's any consolation
9:10
this is worse here we go does it help at
9:13
all Justin and that we're in the front
9:14
seat does that make it less terrifying
9:16
no I super regret sitting here you're
9:19
readying this is
9:31
fun oh my God d i just L down stupid
9:31
whatever you do hold
9:33
on here we go hold
9:44
on why did it do that why did it do that
9:44
why did it turn like that oh my gosh oh
9:47
my gosh seriously don't look over the
9:49
edge I'm trying not to do just think of
9:52
the AOS Smith song We're living on the
9:55
edge I'll see you later wait a minute I
9:58
thought the deal was I ride Coast Rider
10:01
and you go to Disneyland with me and
10:04
ride goofy Sky
10:05
school I guess I'm headed to Disneyland
10:08

10:13
time all right are you happy now you got
10:15
me in line for goofy Skys School anytime
10:17
goofy is anywhere near me I'm so
10:19
happy this is more terrifying to me than
10:22
the one at knock this one has goofy it's
10:25
Disney it's scarier the turns are
10:26
scarier I've never been on it but it
10:28

10:29
no you never ritten goofy Sky no I just
10:32

awesome pick fun pick what a fun one and
11:56
now it's time for ask and the wo don't
12:01
forget the hashtag hey Adam how old were
12:03
you when you first started playing the
12:04
bass and how old were you when you
12:06
joined your first band thanks pal I was
12:08
27 years old before I picked up my very
12:11
first musical instrument it was a bass
12:13
guitar I went to the shop I said I want
12:16
a bass guitar and I want an amplifier
12:18
the salesman at that time said try it on
12:21
put the strap on give it a little bit of
12:23
a try I was too nervous too
12:25
self-conscious to play it in front of
12:27
anyone including the salesman I said
12:29
wrap it up I took it home back to my
12:31
apartment I had at that time closed the
12:34
door my roommate was there I did not
12:36
even want him seeing me holding this
12:38
awkward instrument and I taught myself
12:41
how to play bass guitar shortly after
12:43
that I joined my first band went to
12:45
another band went to another band and
12:47
went to another band and did pretty well
12:49
in bands being self-taught and not
12:52
starting until I was 27 years old hey
12:55
Adam I just heard that they're talking
12:57
about doing a Threes Company movie
12:59
would you see a Threes Company movie and
13:02
what is your favorite episode of Threes
13:04
Company thanks man and keep up the good
13:06
work oh I am so not happy about a Threes
13:09
Company movie I would probably see it
13:10
just so I could mock it and ridicule it
13:12
and not be happy about the fact that
13:16
someone other than John Ritter or Joyce
13:18
tot or Suzanne Summers or the rest of
13:21
the cast would be playing those roles I
13:24
just feel some things are sacred and
13:27
should not be made into a movie
13:29
especially decades later I am the hugest
13:32
Threes Company fan on the face of the
13:34
planet I have the book I have the
13:37
DVDs you'd be hard pressed to find a
13:40
bigger Threes Company fan than I and I
13:43
really don't at first thought I don't
13:47
like the idea as far as my favorite
13:48
episodes there are so many the one where
13:50
he goes to the party and he's dancing
13:52
around because he's really drunk and
13:54
messed up because he did not want to fly
13:56
across the ocean to Hawaii to this
13:59
secret Island for this party so he gets
14:00
a little bit liquored up and crazy and
14:02
he's dancing around that's a really good
14:04
one I think most people consider that to
14:06
be one of the better Threes Company
14:08
episodes but I also like the one where
14:11
he is hitting on Harvey's sister the guy
14:14
at the gym and he's so sore he can't
14:16
even walk around and Harvey shows up
14:18
with the other two girls and he's
14:20
drinking the eggs and he's in the room
14:22
and he's like Harvey's your brother
14:24
Harvey's your brother but John Ritter
14:27
can't move because he's so sore from
14:29
working out when he's not the kind of
14:31
guy to work out he's trying to impress
14:33
this girl and there's also the episode
14:34
where he gets all the poison ivy all
14:37
over his body and the only way the
14:39
brother knows that he's messing around
14:40
with the sister in the woods is because
14:43
he's the one that has poison ivy I love
14:47
Three's Company I'm more of a furly guy
14:49
I do like The Ropers but I love when Don
14:52
knots comes in there season four out of
14:55
all eight seasons I think are the most
14:58
genius
14:59
geniusly written and best episodes of
15:02
thre's company hey Adam when will you be
15:04
coming down to Austin Texas to explore I
15:06
do like Texas and especially Austin in
15:08
fact I did the filming locations from
15:10
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre around
15:12
Austin not specifically in Austin but
15:15
just on the outskirts and did you know
15:17
the gas station from Texas Chainsaw
15:20
Massacre used to be abandoned when I did
15:22
the filming location video and now
15:24
someone has bought it and they are
15:26
renting out the rooms I need to get back
15:29
there that sounds like one heck of a
15:30
weekend hey Adam I was wondering if
15:32
you're ever coming to eastn Pennsylvania
15:34
to bushill Park it's abandoned and they
15:37
have the oldest fun house in the USA
15:38
that sounds pretty cool I've never heard
15:40
of that place actually so I appreciate
15:42
the tip I do like abandoned theme parks
15:44
and they don't grow on trees they're not
15:46
on every corner so any little tidbit a
15:49
hint on an abandoned theme park is much
15:52
appreciated hey Adam I just have a
15:54
question about which Tarantino movie do
15:57
you like or have you seen
15:59
I think he's really good director and uh
16:01
that's one of my questions for you for
16:03
now thank you I do like Quinton
16:05
tarantina of course the obvious is going
16:07
to be Pulp Fiction but there was a movie
16:09
called Jackie Brown which I don't think
16:10
did as well as some of his other bigger
16:13
films I really like Jackie Brown did you
16:16
ever see that one hey Adam do you know
16:20
Joy who okay there's a castle this looks
16:23
like Disney World I had to turn the
16:26
sound down because of the copyright
16:27
music wait it's a note says Dear Adam
16:30
the woo isn't it fun going to Disney
16:32
alone SSN e huh I do like going to
16:36
Disney alone or with family or with
16:39
friends or with
16:56
strangers one of the scariest places I
16:56
ever went was an abandoned highlight
16:58
building in the handh handle of Florida
17:01
some other explorers have been there
17:03
since but when I went I was completely
17:05
by myself it was terrifying I never want
17:08
to go back there hi Adam where do you
17:11
see yourself in 10 years time that's a
17:14
really good question and 10 years I will
17:15
be almost 52 years old it's crazy to
17:20
think about a lot a lot of things can
17:23
happen in 10 years a lot of things can
17:25
progress a lot of things can happen in a
17:27
year or two years or 5 years but 10
17:29
years that's a very F loaded
17:32
question hopefully I'm still around
17:35
doing things exploring filming living
17:38
life enjoying
17:40
life that's all you can ask for out of
17:42
all the places that you've explored what
17:44
were your two top favorites there are a
17:45
lot of places that I have been and gone
17:49
and a lot of places kind of get
17:50
forgotten and lost in the shuffle with
17:51
the mix of all the different videos that
17:54
I've done these might not necessarily be
17:56
the top two but here are two that that
17:59
some people may not have seen and mean a
18:01
lot to me this is a place called The
18:03
ministers Treehouse a huge gargantuan
18:07
treehouse in the middle basically in the
18:10
middle of nowhere built by a minister I
18:12
snuck all around through here years ago
18:15
it's called the world's largest
18:16
treehouse you just find it on the Adam
18:18
the woo Channel I love this video here
18:20
this gentleman built this Castle
18:23
completely by himself by hand with
18:26
supplies that people left on his
18:29
property the incomplete castle one man's
18:32
Fortress of Faith check it out I just
18:34
want to know Adam do you play video
18:36
games and if you do what's your favorite
18:39
video games that you play I am not
18:41
familiar with any of the video game
18:42
systems that have come out in the last
18:44
few decades I am an old school 80s nerd
18:46
I love the 1985 released NES system the
18:50
Nintendo Entertainment System Contra the
18:52
kunami code up up down down left right
18:55
left right ba select start or just start
18:58
depending off your playing with one or
18:59
two players I love all that stuff Mike
19:01
Tyson's punch out legendary Wings Legend
19:04
of Zelda all of that stuff holds a very
19:08
special place in my heart and who could
19:11
forget Metroid man I had suff such a
19:15
tough time beating that game hey Adam I
19:17
was just wondering what's your favorite
19:18
non-mainstream kind of Hidden Gem
19:21
attraction at Disneyland I think I'm
19:22
going to have to go full fantasy land on
19:24
this one and say Pinocchio or maybe
19:26
Allison Wonderland but I feel feel like
19:29
Pinocchio does not get the love and the
19:31
respect that it deserves as far as Walt
19:34
Disney World versus Disneyland
19:36
Disneyland has the better Fantasy Land
19:38
by far in my opinion by the way that is
19:42
an awesome either a poster or a picture
19:44
or a little mural of The Great Movie
