    I’m pleasantly surprised that Dinosaur World is so clean, well maintained, and well landscaped. I was expecting it to be a dumpy dive.
    It’s nice to see a kitschy roadside attraction that has kept itself in decent, respectable shape. It’s all too common for these kind of places to be rundown.

    They are building a Dinosaur themed amusement park in Japan with free roaming animatronic Dinos that look very real! It might be worth the trip for you when it opens!

      Where? Which prefecture?What’s it called? I did a quick search but couldn’t find that...

    Adam, went to the Jurassic Boat Ride in Pigeon Forge a couple of weeks ago and I’m happy to report all the animatronics appeared to be fully operational. 👍🏼
    Also, in your honor, they were weed eating at the bottom of Goats on the Roof mountain coaster. 😁
    Good times!

    HEY ATW...I HAVE TO, AS USUAL, THANK YOU. THE WAY YOU'VE BEEN MIXING it up by having an adventure on your way to Rays games for those of us who really don't follow baseball , is pure genius! I remember your last visit to Dinosaur World and I think I made a comment about the movie "Clifford"! Do you recall the name of Clifford's little toy Brontosaurus!?!! I believe it was Stephon?

    Before I dove into this video, I quickly revisited your original Dino World on your ATW channel. I LOVE how even though you've gone thru the same areas of the park, you put a fresh spin and more toned down approach to this, where as before you and the girl you went with were both hyper active with comedic jump cuts as you literally good climbed on some of the sets. It's so cool to see how your content and editing style has improved over the years. I LOVE THAT!!

    As a life long NYer living within an hour of Cooperstown and a diehard Tampa Bay Rays fan for 20 years, I'm thrilled you are a big fan now. I never imagined in a million years when I started watching you that you'd cover something I would thoroughly love watching on your channel, aside from all the other awesome things you do. Maybe someday I'll run into you.

    Hi Adam. So enjoy your videos. You show so many places and give me ideas of where I'd like to visit. I got hooked on your videos a few months ago when you were in Denver. Its interesting to see your own city as viewed by someone who does not live here. Wanted to reference the claw machine. I don't know this for a fact, but I've been told that when you hit the button to grab a toy, if you hit the button a second time it supposedly will grab it. Try it next time and see if it works. Keep up the good work. You are so good at what you do and I enjoy watching.

    Dinosaur World was the first place we went when we finally left the house in June of 2020. I remember how exciting it was just to be in a public place besides a county park. The next month DVC reopened and we felt so privileged to go to Vero Beach. Such a strange time.

I like the somewhat new information about dinosaurs having color; it adds a lot. Also, it's interesting how many new discoveries, including foot prints, have recently been made.....the ball game; Nice!!....& I really like the orange roof when there's a win....I think these folks are really trying....this area should appreciate the value of having a team

    I am a dinosaur lover too. Before we moved back to Louisiana, I volunteered in the paleo lab at the George Eccles Dinosaur Park in Ogden, Utah. At that time, there were about 150 life-size dinosaurs. It is a fantastic place. You should go there when you are in the area. I have enjoyed this video and will have to visit this park when on vacation.

    Adam, if you ever make it back to the west coast, there is a dinosaur park on the coast of Oregon just past Gold Beach. It's family owned and the grandfather built the dinosaurs to their actual size. The grandkids run it now but it's really nice. It's like walking through the rain forest and so beautiful!! I think you would really like it. We have gone the last two years and even though it doesn't change, we like to support it so it can continue to stay open.
