TDW 1507 - Forgotten Theme Park Bear Attack !

0:15 Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here.

0:15 Just checking out of one hotel that I

0:17 have been in for the last week or so and

0:19 going to another Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge

0:22 hotel.

0:24 Didn't really get a whole lot of sleep

0:26 last night. In fact, I haven't really

0:27 been getting a whole lot of sleep lately

0:29 in general. I usually stay up till about

0:31 1 or 2 a.m. editing these vlogs. And I

0:34 wake up early every single day. I

0:36 usually wake up around 6:00 a.m. Try to

0:38 get like a little tiny cat nap, a power

0:40 nap for a few minutes during the day.

0:43 But all in all, I probably only get

0:44 maybe 5 or 6 hours of sleep at night.

1:05 It's my second channel, daily vlog

1:05 channel. Make sure you finish the water

1:07 next time, Adam, before you crush it.

1:10 It's a daily woo.

1:19 Those clouds, man.

1:19 One thing I miss about California, it

1:21 rarely rains, unlike here.

1:32 The Dollywood trams make the most

1:32 unusual noise when they stop.

1:35 You say this board here at Tra Sea. Trac

1:39 is in cotton candy.

1:45 Tell you what, you had to step in.

1:45 Have a great day, Dollywood. Love

1:47 everyone.

1:49 Hello again, Dollywood. There's a cool

1:52 old car. Chevrolet Bair 1953 according

1:55 to the sign. 1957 according to this sign

1:59 and a van with famous chicken sandwiches

2:02 according to that sign.

2:25 We're here for you.

2:25 Bring it down.

2:30 You have to stand underneath the awning

2:30 because it's raining out here right now.

2:32 But I love live music like that,

2:34 especially acappella. I always think

2:36 it's really cool. Wow, that one's cool.

2:37 Look at that. It's raining pretty good

2:39 now. But look at that police car.

2:41 I got to get out of this rain. The good

2:42 thing about rain, it means it's not that

2:44 hot. It's overcast. The bad thing about

2:46 rain, you get soaked.

2:47 You might as well just jump in there.

2:49 Pretty much has the same effect. I got

2:51 some coffee. Maybe this will put a

2:53 little he in my step.

2:56 That is a bumbling bucket of water

3:00 that's stoning up from the Neptic reach.

3:03 Some sort of metal praying mantis right

3:06 there. Look, he has fangs. If you look

3:08 closely, he has fangs protruding out

3:10 from his mouth.

3:12 There used to be an attraction right up

3:14 there on the top of that hill. The

3:16 building hasn't been used in years, but

3:19 it looks cool. Does anyone know what the

3:21 name of that was on the top of that

3:23 hill? This is the oldest part of

3:24 Dollywood. Back in the day, this was

3:26 Gold Rush Junction, also called Rebel

3:29 Railroad,

3:30 and of course, Silver Dollar City. And

3:33 this is the oldest area. And there's

3:35 about to be a train arriving. When you

3:37 go to other theme parks, they have

3:38 trains that go around the park. The

3:40 thing that separates Dollywood from

3:41 those other places, this train is

3:44 completely full size.

3:45 I think I hear it. I think I hear it. I

3:48 hear the train coming. It's coming round

3:51 the bend. And it is not to scale. It's a

3:54 fulls size stinking train here at

3:58 Dollywood.

4:00 I think this is freaking cool.

4:16 serious power in 1977. She was

4:16 Tennessee.

4:49 really proud of Cinderella. She works

4:49 hard every day. She brings a lot of love

4:52 for a ride.

5:33 I have to say that is probably my

5:33 all-time favorite theme park train ride.

5:36 And you must wear glasses on there

5:38 because the embers and the stuff coming

5:39 out of the smoke stack gets in your

5:41 eyes. I'm not even kidding. It's

5:44 freaking legit. Everywhere you go,

5:47 especially theme parks, there are urban

5:50 legends, stories. Who knows if they are

5:53 100% true, but they are usually based in

5:55 a tiny bit of factual information that

5:58 over time and over word of mouth from

6:00 one person to the next to the next. And

6:03 now in this day and age, the internet

6:05 become quote facts. And there is a

6:09 humdinger here at Dollywood that

6:12 happened right over there.

6:14 Let me give you my disclaimer.

6:16 Everything I'm going to say is hearsay.

6:18 The rest is up to your imagination or

6:21 your own Columbboike research. Tucked

6:23 away in the back corner of the park are

6:26 these restrooms. And many years ago, a

6:29 very large bear somehow made his way

6:32 down this hallway. And as the wranglers

6:35 and the employees tried to get the bear

6:38 out of here, the bear started to attack.

6:41 And right here on the side of the wall,

6:43 you can see where the bear struck the

6:47 side. And they have left it here. Look.

6:50 One, two, three, four claw prints. And

6:54 what is this? Look at this. This looks

6:57 like maybe that's where his hand hit

6:59 there. What do you think?

7:08 If you're looking for where it happened,

7:08 it's right there to the left of the

7:12 lady's restroom.

7:14 Pretty freaking cool. This is what they

7:17 call a Tennessee water tree. Going

7:19 through a dark cave now.

7:23 I think this also used to be an

7:25 attraction way back in the deck. And I

7:27 believe it was called the flooded mine.

7:29 In fact, there's very hard to read it,

7:31 but there's a sign on the wall right

7:33 there. And that creepy dark passageway

7:34 is right underneath that house I showed

7:36 you earlier. Straight ahead is something

7:38 most people probably do not even know

7:40 exist. And it's definitely an acquired

7:42 taste.

7:57 Want some? Man, just look how cool this

7:57 place is.

8:06 Those pork rinds made me so thirsty. I

8:06 am really thirsty right now.

8:08 Tracer

8:10 main city. I'll let you know when it's

8:11 safe to exit. You're going to exit to

8:13 the back of the tram.

8:15 All right. Connect it to the back of the

8:17 tram.

8:18 Now, I know there must be a logical

8:19 explanation on what that noise is on the

8:22 tram, but there also must be a logical

8:24 solution to fixing it. I would think so.

8:28 But then again, it does kind of add to

8:30 the experience.

8:33 Got to get that water.

8:35 Get that water.

8:39 Those pork rinds, man, they made me so

8:40 thirsty.

8:47 Look at that view of the mountains right

8:47 there. Man, this area is so beautiful.

9:11 The first job I ever had was at a Publix

9:11 in St. Cloud, Florida, 1991. I worked

9:13 there 3 years.

9:32 The sun is just starting to peek itself

9:32 away behind those clouds for the

9:35 evening. And I'm going to start taking a

9:37 little walk

9:39 down the strip here. Man, look at that

9:41 truck.

9:43 The truck has an advertising billboard

9:45 that is a video screen. What am I

9:48 watching? The Paint the Night parade

9:49 right now. And here's Santa.

9:53 I wish all the boys and girls all the

9:57 wishes in the world. Anything you want

9:59 can come true.

10:01 Just stay off my property. Just stay off

10:04 my property, though. Competition in the

10:07 retail industry is getting fierce here.

10:10 $9.99 or less.

10:13 $9.99. But then right next door,

10:16 this guy

10:18 is promising $9.98 or less. This used to

10:21 be called Lumberjack Feud, but then

10:24 Dolly Parton took it over and changed

10:26 the name to Lumberjack Adventure because

10:28 feuding is not good for families.

10:30 There's women and children down here.

10:32 Paulyine here clearly giving a perfect

10:35 example of not knowing what to do with

10:38 your hands during a photo.

10:42 There's a lot of rocking chairs out here

10:45 and a lot of people enjoying them to the

10:47 fullest watching the water. It is pretty

10:51 beautiful. I'm not going to lie. See,

10:53 this is what I'm talking about with

10:54 these bears. They make themselves look

10:57 friendly. Like this guy looks like he's

10:58 sad. That way you'll go over and give

11:00 him a hug. But in reality, he will maim

11:03 your face if you get up into his

11:05 personal space. Daiquiries.

11:09 Not just for girls anymore. Oh, this

11:12 place looks cool. Island Tiki General

11:14 Store. There is seriously nothing

11:17 tikiesque anywhere in here. It's

11:19 basically just t-shirts and keychains

11:21 that have nothing to do with tiki. Look

11:23 at the sky right now. Looks amazing. In

11:26 the top left corner, that's the moon.

11:37 Looks like it just might be time for

11:37 Elvis. He needs to invest in a new

11:40 guitar there. That one has seen better

11:42 days, buddy. Tyler Evans, rock

11:44 journalist. Now, I know he doesn't show

11:46 it on his face, but this chicken is very

11:49 disappointed in the internet age. That's

11:52 all he wants you to do is write him a

11:53 letter. He's waiting. He's waiting for

11:56 that letter.

11:58 Pick up that pen and paper. Send this

12:02 guy

12:03 some snail mail

12:07 or chicken mail, whatever you want to

12:08 call it.

12:11 Look at this. This is not real food.

12:14 This is fragrance, but it looks like

12:16 you're cooking it over a hot stove. What

12:18 are you doing out here? Just seeing some

12:20 sites. Looking at some souvenirs. Yeah,

12:23 I feel you. Oh, look. And there's feet

12:26 prints there. Man, he's been leaving

12:29 marks. There they go, flying into the

12:33 night sky.

12:40 Those were either birds or gargantuan

12:40 bats.

12:42 Who knows?
