I don’t want to write this. Writing it makes it final. I’ve known since yesterday, but it still doesn’t seem real. I needed to be alone with my thoughts before I could post something publicly. Every time I read another post it seems wrong, like it hasn’t happened, like I’ll still get a text from Adam any moment now. But I won’t, he is gone.
I just talked with him was when he was in Disneyland Paris. We were remembering our time in Disneyland 10 years ago when we saw Dick Van Dyke dancing and singing on the balcony of Club 33 for his 90th birthday. We were making plans for when he got back into town. But now that hang out won’t happen. I miss him.
He was the only friend I’ve had in a long time that made me laugh for hours on end. The type of friend that when you start laughing with each other you fall into them and sort of bounce off each other. I’ve never had that with any other guy friend.
I will always remember this time at Disneyland when we were trying to throw a coin into the cup in the queue for the Snow White ride. Adam made one and shouted “I’m going to live forever!” From then on he would always message me anytime “Forever Young” came on the radio or was playing at some random location he was at.
He really will live forever, because I will never forget him.
Really sad to hear about the passing of Adam the Woo! I think he might have been the first theme park youtuber I ever watched. I really appreciate and relate to his enthusiasm for kitsch and its history, and so many things might have been lost to time if he hadn't explored them.
I loved watching Adam’s videos. I never got the chance to meet Adam but he had incredible energy and seemed like the most genuine person.
He will be missed. RIP ❤️
Rest in peace Adam the Woo.. one of the OG vloggers and content creators. His nearly daily uploads and adventures were adored by many.
This was a huge shock to us all, his last video was uploaded only yesterday :(
Rest in Peace Adam the Woo. I was never able to meet him in person but his personality and love for the vlogging craft shined through the screen. R.I.P.
Adam The Woo, a key figure in the early days of theme park content creation, and someone who has left a lasting impact on so many.
He was one of the first YouTubers I ever watched, and I vividly remember loving his intro song and binge-watching his adventures as a kid.
Although he didn’t know me well, he still included me in his It’s Tough to be a Bug! closing day video, because of his kind and welcoming personality.
May he rest in peace.
The irony of Disney marketing the HELL out of Figment, a character devoted to how important human imagination is, while planning on a slop-filled Disney+ is not lost on me.
