Thanks for joining me in my video adventures everyone
+adamthewoo Thanks for doing this!
thank you for sharing friend.
Adam do you do this full time? i would love to do this myself,, i always enjoy! i find it fascinating..
+adamthewoo u should be on travel channel!!! :) cause u travel around the states
+laura20022004 i agree this would be an awesome hour long show for the travel channel
This one really makes me pine for your old (non west coast) traveling adventure videos. Great stuff.
The original video is the video that introduced me to your channel, nice seeing it again
Looks like Spectre could use multiple hand-o-matics to fix it up!
Hey man how about some pictures of what it looks like now. Also where is it located.
Larry Lauger Prattville Alabama...I live in prattville not far from there ...about 20 30 minutes away
You definitely need a camera with better image stabilization.
@adamthewoo I live here in Prattville alabama and the couple that own Jackson lake asked that the building's be left for them they were gonna use it as an attraction but they sucked
jeckle78 I live in prattville too...my real estate agent said you can still go there and has..I have been once too
Im from Montgomery, Al & most of the places I've been except this one... I'm gonna find it... I wanna walk thru those fake tress😂😂
Why didn't the city of Wetumpka buy this land and try to restore it as a tourist attraction?
"Smash your finger up in there. Come on."
So, they basically littered in a giant way, left all their shit there and thats ok with everybody? Wtf tim go clean up your fuckin mess! Lol
The people in the area and the owner of the property wanted it to be left to turn it into a tourist attraction and it still is but due to lack of visitors it had fallen to decay. Nothing really there anymore but the owner still maintains the property and you're still allowed to visit with permission.
My husband and I are actually living in our motor home here (until we can find some land to build on)
I can look to my left and see Jackson Lake and if I look to my right..... what's left of spectre...... there are 24 goats out here on the island. Fun place to visit. Very popular for photo shoots. Only 3 bucks to enter and it's very well kept! The owners are amazing! If you will go like the FB page "Jackson Lake Island" you can see the new baby goat pics! As well as anything else Spectre related.
It would have been cool if you included some screen grabs from the film just to show how these places fit in the movie.
+Doug Vandegrift I would have loved that too. I've seen it done on other vid's along this line and it is so cool to see the contrast.
+Aaron B ADAM HAS DONE THAT QUITE A LOT IN THE PAST.HE PROBABLY DOES NOT HAVE THE EDIT TIME RIGHT NOW..ONE THAT COMES TO MIND IS WHAT ABOUT BOB BUT I KNOW FOR SURE HE HAS DONE THAT WITH MANY OTHERS..
+Doug Vandegrift are you fukking mad?
+Joe Mamma I agree. Adam has included reference clips in the past but being on the road the way he is he may not have been able to do it for this particular video. Personally I don't know how he manages to edit all his regular videos because if I were touring the country in a van it would be really tough for me to take the time to sit for hours editing clips, locating reference video to insert at just the right place, and putting together all the content he does :)
+bipola telly if you would have read it, its obvious that it was a accident.
Stand by me filming location would be so rad!
Every day I'm doing something different. "What are you doing today?" I'm robbing a bank!
+Yukendoit classic !
Adam the Woo - the man, the myth, the legend. Tom
+Decay is headed your way! DIHYW !
OH MY GAWD ADAM!! Thank you so much - I love this movie so much!!! It makes me sad they just left it there.... Also - amazing new intro! I luv it.
+Bettie Turner its a freaking great movie
+Bettie Turner ....yeah.... that movie sux....
+bipola telly for brainless individuals it may suck. for the rest of us it was great.
Oh man...this movie. You have no idea how emotionally attached to this movie I am. The dad in this movie is 100% my dad. This made a HUGE impact on my & my sisters when it first came out,we were blown away. My dad has been telling wild tall tales since we were kids. We all agreed when my dad dies were going to gather together and watch this movie in his honor
+Bryan Burns I too, am a HUGE fan of Big Fish :)
You're dad was the dad in the movie thats awesome!!!
HKiRK TV no he wasn't he means they act exactly alike...pay attention to what you read😂
What a waste! There are starving kids in Africa that could have eaten these buildings.
What I think is they build a small town with all their money' then leave it to rot.. When it could have been used by those less fortunate..... Wow' what a world we live in where the poor go hungry and without shelter' while the rich just throw money away.....
Looks like irresponsible film makers work, that Styrofoam is going to be all over the place in a few more years.
Wow that's crazy that was all left
I have to say I'm surprised they were allowed to leave styro-crap etc laying around, it can't be good for the wild life.
Have never seen the movie Big Fish but plan to now. Much Thanks for visiting this area to show us what one does not expect to see--an island with lovely abandoned buildings !
it's lovely...probably the only Tim Burton film that makes me want to cry
But who's been mowing the lawns?
It could be fake grass, but i cant be sure.
my thought too, obviously someone keeps an eye on it. it definitely isn't fake and certainly is mowed.
+colormesarge yeah, it really seems strange that they would keep somewhere where nobody really goes maintained
+rockafiremmbb maybe the people who eventually bulldozed the buildings had someone keep it up so they could eventually do something with it. probably cheap to them to have a guy go out once a month or so.
+colormesarge good point. I suppose in the long run it could be cheaper to maintain it than have to spend tons when the land is to be used for something else.
That's a rare sort of abandoned location! Well done! That fake brick would have fooled me any day!
Wow! I didn't know that was a real town specifically built for filming the movie, that's pretty crazy. Wonder how much that all cost. But it's also really weird to see an incomplete faux town that was never meant to be a real town just sitting to rot like an actual abandoned town. It's art imitating life I guess.
After watching your documentary, I respect you even more. Thanks for being a great dude and making awesome videos!
That is awesome. I remember this movie but didn't know all of those trees were fake. Man, they did a good job because they look pretty damn real. Good find, Adam! Brings back memories.
This is amazing. Big Fish is one Tim Burton movie that I still haven't seen. Just never had a desire to. But now after seeing this, I want to. Thanks, Adam!
There is a abandoned water park in Florence Alabama it is located right by the Tn River. maybe some day you can go check it out. I been by it quit a few times. ;)
Hey Adam! Off topic question. If I remember right, weren't you banned from disney parks at one time because of one of these videos? I noticed quite a few new, Disney related videos, I'm hoping this means you came to some kind of agreement with them, or your time out is over? I like the disney videos, and was happy to see some new ones!
+delamaize if you search videos on this channel a few months back I did a few videos on the subject. Its been resolved, thanksfully
Awesome! glad to hear! I'll filter back though you videos and find'em!
The security at Disney parks think they are tuff. They "tried" to ban my friend for paparazzi work when their own workers tip him off. Disney security use regular walkie Talkies. Get a police scanner an you can listen. All you have to do is get a signal jammer an their regular radios will not work. They call everything in vita cell phone so a jammer is a good investment.
Kinda reminds me of this place called Dogpatch USA, a place in Arkansas I highly recommend you check out due to it's size. Check out Walter Arnold's video of it.
Was this recently filmed by you, Adam?
Pretty interesting stuff here, never really entirely watched Big Fish, seen bits and pieces of it though, but interesting scenery for the film.
& great that you have a new girl to help ya with discovering the place too. ☺
You got the coolest locations!
You got tell me some of those, if come to US! :D
"Big Fish is about what's real and what's fantastic, what's true and what's not true, what's partially true and how, in the end, it's all true."
Tim Burton
"Adam The Woo goes on adventures for you,
.... he dont even ask your Mom,...
If You wanna see his zany journeys,....
Go to AdamTheWoo.com......
Awwwwww $^%T son......"
Shall you join him,
You will see what Tim Burton mentioned,....and more,.. as it withers through time itself...
I don't know what's worse. The fact that it was left to rot or people get a kick out of burning this stuff down. ¬_¬ So glad you and the Decay team got the footage you did before some dumbasses went and ruined it.
see, now this would be a PRIME location for someone looking to film in an abandoned town...like for a sci fi or horror movie! People are missing out on a good pay day!
I would like to suggest, Adam, that you go back to Jackson Lake Island now and refilm the sites of Big Fish. My family and I went there today and most of the buildings have been cleaned up and some have been repaired. The Styrofoam arch trees is still there along with the Welcome to Spectre sign. I took pictures of the line with Shoes on it. It has a few extra pairs on it but it frames the view down the street looking at the church very well. The General Store has never been rebuilt and the home of Jenny is gone all except for the pillons it sat on. My grandchildren enjoyed the visit and loved running under the Spanish Moss trees and along the banks of the Chute near Jenny's 'house'. Next time you want to film scenes from Big Fish, include a trip down Pike Road off Vaughn Road, Montgomery and you will find the long stretch of road they used to film the father and son open top car ride. Also, the cave of Karl the Giant is located at the public boat launch behind AES Industries, Tallassee, Al.
I enjoy watching your videos of abandoned places immensely. However, even though I typically like Tim Burton movies, never saw this one and I'm 46.
Nice video, though, Adam.
awesome adam check out some of my vids..abandoned spots and film locations..amityville etc..and erie county fair..with the monkey maze..lol
I love the movie and this content but FYI people get sick with all the camera motion. Sorry, I had to stop watching. :-0
Aaaaaaaww shiiiiiiiiiiiit sooooooon I miss this intro
Why would they bother to bulldoze it? It's in the middle of nowhere.
Were they worried a group of squatters would come and colonize the town?
As cool as this would be to see in person, I'm always thinking,. "How does Hollywood, self proclaimed environmentalist, get to just leave so much shit around here and there" Some of it I get gets used long after, but in the case of Shindlers List, Popeye, Big Fish, and countless others. All that styrofoam! Holy shit. That never goes away
The Movie was shot in Wetumpka AL. The big white house the boys father lived in is a private resident still there today. The scene where the giant and boy are walking out of town is modern day downtown Wetumpka. The Spectra town is kept up the town of Millbrook just out side of Montgomery Al.They charge admission It cost $2.00 to visit the set.
That is a really cool place, thanks for the video!
they should be required to pick all of it up and dispose of it properly. That should be a legal requirement when filming..heaven knows they can afford to do so! Such an environmental hazard! They should be held accountable.
This is cool, I love watching your video's. You go to some pretty sweet places, that I would love to check out...:) Keep doing what your doing...:)
This is so typical for the film industry.
They go places, build and destroy, film, make their millions…….but leave the clean-up for others or as you well put it for vandals or decay!
In Lafayette Louisianan where I live, theres this coolie system in the neighborhood that leads to this group of tunnels that you can only go so far into and then they get too small. But its called The Tunnel of Hell. Its even got that painted up above the entrance and has been that way since was before I was born which was 1975. When you go inside there you see people tagging the place since the 60s and 70s and apparently Sharks were scary back then because it says beware of sharks.
Man! This is the closest video you've done to where I live! Keep em coming. WE. SHALL. JOIN. YOU.
New intro is off the chain! Cool place, or was. There are so many small abandoned towns, why build one?
Thanks for showing that. I love that movie and always wondered where it was filmed at, but didn't have the patience to look into it. That must have been cool and creepy at the same time. Cause as we all know Tim Burton has a beautiful but very strange imagination. 🤔
Hey Adam, do you have any social media accounts? I think it would be cool if you had Twitter. It would help keep your fans and subscribers up to date.
Loved this movie and I never get sick of seeing people explore the old set. Doesn't look like it was built to last.
As an Alabamian/Fan of Big Fish and Tim Burton, thanks for a great video. I had no idea this existed!
The fake brick is called Vac Form, is a common film technique :) Learnt about it on my Tv & Film Set Design course!
I love Big Fish. To me it's the last great Tim Burton movie. Everything since then has just been ok movies with that distinct Burton style to them. Nothing will top his early work though, so great.
It's kind of sad how much of this has been destroyed due to vandalism. Love the old church.
Where is this at and can it be bought? That would be an awesome place to ride out a zombie Apocalypse. :)
I would love to go on an adventures like these. Live very near the now gone Glass Bank in Cocoa Beach. Man ol man keep up the vids. Thx again Master AdamtheWoo
I am surprised they weren't forced to return the property to it's natural state before leaving. All that spray foam mixed in with the real forest? Seems like an environmental and health issue for the wildlife. Maybe things are more lax in Alabama.
I think u should meet me near these locations! I dont live far maybe 2 hrs. never been
loved the movie big fish, shame that it's left to decay, they should have preserved one of the buildings and put it in a tim Burton museum, that would be cool, move over Madame tussauds, Tim is coming in lol, awesome stuff adam x
That was pretty cool Adam. Pretty cool to see Tom and Burt's (DIHYW) stuff included. Good job guys.
+Barbara Howe Thanks Barbara. Tom
:)
awesome video but you would think this be considered a form of littering. that being said did you take some souvenirs?
Thats pretty cool....I'd love to check this place out, but I'd have to drag my wife!!! She'd be scared as shit.
i would have loved to buy that land and fix up all the buildings to make a real live functioning town of Spectre. my only request would be having Jenny's house as my own home everyone else who wants to live there could run the place as they see fit.
It would be cool to see the property now , sort of a before and after thing. Great adventure .
You're messing with my head man! ;) This was a cool find and neat to see. NO WAY I'd ever see anything like this otherwise!
I watched the movie Big Fish tonight. I had never seen it before. What a beautiful movie. Thank you Adam.
If I had won the lottery, I'd buy the island, rebuild the village with real buildings, add a little hotel, and make some movie fans dreams come true.
with places like this (movies, or video/picture documented) you should should show a now and then at the end.
I think that would be pretty cool to see.
HAHA I had no sense of scale at the beginning of this video. I thought they were sticks not tree trunks until you walked into frame lol.
Hey Adam thanks for the great adventures came across one of your videos and was hooked as of right now iam in the process of watching all of them love the comedic aspect of the vids keeps it interesting my kids even love watching the woo once again thank you keep them coming
What do you think about checking out the silent hill movie location? That my friend would be very interesting!
this is cool I love how you guys are dancing at the end to funny...I love the places you find very awsome👍🤘
Just watched the video and watch the movie for the first time because of your channel what a great movie had to watch your video again love your channel and all the cool movie locations you have been to. Thanks
awesome and creepy! keep the adventures coming brotha! Stay Focused!
I. Forgot about how funny you was god I miss this days you used to be so funny that's why I loved watching you 🙁xx
Adam I done a few back up scenes for Keith Harris an a extra in one if his movies with Burt Reynolds
I love Big Fish! Except for the fire and whomever lived in the RV that destroyed the town :(
its to bad they dont save these historic places.. one day they all will only be on film.. im sure their is some in my area one fir sure everyone flocked around whe. it was made.. i left it alone .. ✌
Quite enjoyable, I must say, as all your videos are! Thanks for sharing with us!
Sync this up with Danny Elfman's music. Works surprisingly well.
Adam the woo is back ,hell Ya.a shit son.thanks for the video Adam, keep them coming. ....
Nice one, Adam! I always love seeing your adventures in my subscription box. Thanks for adventuring! :)
Styrofoam...reminds me of how a lightweight materials was able to destroy the Shuttle Columbia.
Adam the wooooooooooo
Wow. This is great. Homeless people could do a lot worse than using your channel as a property guide.
I hate to be that guy Adam, but it's pronounced "spek-ter", not "spek-tra".
Funny fact : I work at the casino next to that film was being made. lol
if you guys ever wondered what Minnesota and waterfalls look like in the winter check out my video!
Thank you for this Greatness!!! I wonder if the holiday tree portals from Nightmare are in them there woods
awesome adam! I always enjoy your crazy adventures! ^____^
never seen the movie
first things i thought of
perfect paint ball area
always liked the places you go
So sad that people feel the unrelenting need to vandalize historical sites. Should be preserved as a museum island.
That's one of the cooler trips.... Play me at your local bar on AMI....
I'm gutted it's mainly all gone, i was hoping to visit Spectre one day :(
+adamthewoo Any plans for ever going to pripyat one day?
