Adam the woo is back!

[Tom Morrow]

Adam has posted this message on his page. He does not seem to be engaging in any discussion about it and seems to accept what happened.

Published on Apr 6, 2017
In July 2012 I recorded two videos at Universal Studios Orlando of past attractions no longer open to the public . A lot has changed since those days both in my approach to documenting as well as the way I go about gaining access . Although I technically did not sneak into the locations alone and unnoticed as it may appear in the clips I do understand how posting the footage is frowned upon and can appreciate their concern. After nearly 5 years and countless return visits and annual passes to Universal Orlando Resort they have chosen at this time to trespass me from the property indefinitely .

Oh that's odd, I thought he was calling for pitchforks for Universal and saying he didn't do anything to deserve it??

Your laughably pathetic recent examples you used to support your hatred of him over stuff he did 5-7 years ago. Yes.

he pulled back a curtain

That wasn't cherry picked, it was what he got banned from Universal for (which is what we are talking about in this thread right now if you were paying attention).

You're only further proving my point, you're so hung up on the fact that he went into River Country and a few other backstage theme park places 5+ years ago in the case for Universal, 7+ years ago for WDW. He hasn't trespassed private property in years.

...yet he keeps all of those videos on YouTube instead of taking them down, like he's been asked to do but has refused. So obviously he enjoys the negative attention he getting from them being there by park security. He said himself he knew he was doing wrong and eventually he'd be caught. So he got exactly what he knew was coming.

He'd be wise to take down all of the other videos of properties that he trespassed as well but we know he won't. His thirst for fame seems to control his actions and behavior at times.

I think his weird stigma as a mischief-causing troublemaker on this forum goes like this:

- Adam gains attention for uploading a video of him exploring the abandoned River Country. This is 2010, a while before he became a noted YouTube personality and yes, he was more crass back then, but he was always well aware of the risks.
- WDWMagic forum users huff and puff over this video because its someone breaking the rules at their precious resort, even though every single one of them also wished they'd had the guts to sneak into River Country
- WDWMagic forum users watch Adam's other urbex videos from that time, not realizing that exploring and documenting abandoned places is a hobby for some people and, although they are technically trespassing, it doesn't mean they have ill-intent.
- WDWMagic forum users stop paying attention to Adam until he is banned from WDW. This confirms their assumption that this is a bad man who only wants to cause trouble and break the rules.
- They ignore him once again, not realizing he has now has a huge YouTube following and has changed his channels and image into family friendly content about his daily adventures. The shift is from entering abandoned places to just filming and documenting interesting locations in general.
- Adam is banned by Universal. WDWMagic: "See?? Yup. This is a BAD MAN."

No

Ok, let's stop this. He did something wrong, we can all agree on that. The degree at which this was wrong is to be disputed. The fact of the matter is that none of us are going to agree on this, so let's just drop it. By "celebrating" the fact that he was banned and promoting his hatred, you are no better than the "horrible person" you claim him to be, so I suggest you guys stop. He never did anything to any of you, in fact, you didn't even know of him before he got banned at WDW, so I don't understand why you feel the need to publicly hate him so much.

That would be easy, eh? But you came in here to defend him so you are keeping this discussion going as much as anyone else. Don't try and shove blame on others.

And I don't think anyone here is "celebrating" him being banned. This is a discussion board and that's what is going on.

But people are.

So what? He got punished for bad things he decidedly and willingly did. Go cry about it somewhere else.

So when you get punished, I'm supposed to celebrate?

You can, if you're an american you can celebrate whatever you wish to.

 

[Tom Morrow]

I'm not arguing that he didn't deserve his ban from Universal, so I don't know why this keeps going back to that. The discussion is, does he still trespass and break the law? No. Is he a bad person today for stuff he did 5-7 years ago (while fully knowing the risks)? I don't think he is.

I'd rather run into him in the parks than any of the entitled, "official" vloggers and media people. Or Robb Alvey and the like.

He keeps his videos of him doing said actions up for everyone to see even though he has been requested to take them down. The problem here isn't that he still does these things. It is that he did them and has no remorse for them, and on top of that expects everyone to feel bad for him for getting banned from theme parks because he makes bad decisions and continues to do so regularly.

 

[Tiki Queen of Outer Space]

I feel like I'm saying water is wet, fire is hot, AdamtheWoo is a crappy person it's all just common sense really. Also I'm a Orlando local, and I can tell you he does not have the best reputation around here as far as I have found.

Because the videos on his main channel happened to be part of his "job" as a YouTube partner so why would he take down something that's paying him? If that's the case, so should every other vlogger that dared do such a thing.

And by the way, pulling back a curtain is still not breaking the law.

You are missing the point entirely. Look if you all want to stroke his ego and make a spectacle out of Adamthewoo be my guest. At the end of the day however he is a terrible person who has broken the law multiple times and celebrates these actions through his YouTube videos. If you want to celebrate someone making money off of breaking laws and rules then you shouldn't be so butthurt when the parks decide to take action against him. Breaking rules/laws + Uploading said actions to Youtube + Instigating Security/Theme Park Management = Park Ban (He's lucky that some of them have not taken any further legal action against him). This is not that hard to understand, and at this point I think you are ignoring the facts simply to defend him.

He. Does. Not. Trespass. Anymore.
He didn't say whether or not they requested him to take those videos down (though that might be a stipulation for Universal to allow him back in)
He expressed humility and acceptance over the videos and their decision.
Why do you think he is asking for sympathy?

 

[Dead2009]

"Terrible person". Actually from what I've seen in his actual vlogs, he's the complete opposite. I don't need to stroke some dude on the internets ego to know how outrageous THAT claim is.

Believe what you want but there are reasons this dude has been banned and is banned from certain resorts. Also can we talk about how the Team Members he got to help him with his adventures at Universal got fired for helping him. Where is their sympathy? Why did AdamtheWoo not mention this when he was complaining about being banned? Why does AdamtheWoo break the law and then only expect to get a "slap on the wrist" for his actions and then cry for getting banned instead? If he is such a great guy then why do Theme Park resorts keep taking actions against him for his own actions and decisions? Adam and people like him need to banned from the parks plain and simple. It's not outrageous when all of the evidence is in public view and you actively choose to ignore it.

Yes. We know why. He went into off limits areas and filmed them... five years ago. He is only currently banned from Universal and nowhere else.

In the description for the video where he discusses being banned, he said he was actually let in to those facilities. He probably did not want to call out any Team Members. The TMs also knew what they were doing was wrong as well. Why should he call them out on his vlog? That would be a jerk move.

Why does AdamtheWoo break the law and then only expect to get a "slap on the wrist" for his actions and then cry for getting banned instead?

Where does he ever indicate this? The only thing he said was that he was surprised it happened after so much time had passed. He said he understands their decision to do it.

If he is such a great guy then why do Theme Park resorts keep taking actions against him for his own actions and decisions?

Only Disney and Universal, because of videos 5+ years ago, and Disney has lifted the ban. He has uploaded a video every single day for the last five years and was never been banned from anywhere else because he doesn't break the law anymore. This includes untold visits to Disneyland, Universal Hollywood, and countless other theme parks, attractions, tourist destinations, etc.
