I was convinced they were going to let the people pay for it, build it, let it fail and then make it into a casino, which would have been a better idea than what happened. The whole "gambling would bring in the criminal element" argument is absolute BS in Flint.

wait woodsy wasnt just from southpark:O

The clock is the coolest thing I didn't know i wanted

7:51 why is rock just staring at me???💀💀💀

Bring back Original Woodsy!

Wait a minute...

I always thought Woodsy was designed by the Kroffts.

I just pretend the new Woodsy doesn't exist. There is only one Woodsy for me! My husband bought me a t-shirt with the real Woodsy, and I get a lot of comments on it. People *do* remember, and they love the real Woodsy!

Almost no one ever mentions that kids at CEC around 1999 would tell each other the animatronics could walk off the stage and eat you. Did that only happen to me?! Was I the only one playing FNAF that said “It was only a matter of time before someone made that a horror game”???

It was a pretty cool museum.

#englishorspanishwhoevertalksaboutfnafisgay spread the word

Did Randy from Randy land buy them?

Hey um... little update, but almost exactly 40 years to the date after the opening of Autoworld in Flint, Michigan now has another Six Flags Park. On July 1. 2024 Michigan's Adventure, as well as all of the other parks in Cedar Fair's portfolio, merged into the Six Flags corporation, now meaning Michigan's Adventure is a Six Flags Park.

I say bring them back!

“Like a phenix” couldn’t think of a Pokémon pun?

Lmao I’m a millennial and I didn’t know Woodsy was real I thought he was just Southpark’s take on Smokey The Bear

Where is it. Tell us

my mom went to major magics. My grandpa showed me this picture where she stood in front of an animated drum with a face. I wanted to find this and found it out of no where while writing a book about animatronics and mostly listening and somewhat watching this video

40 years ago. Great memories for that brief time.

5 hour Woodsy history when?!?!?!?

I am a Flint, Michigan resident and I had no idea this place even existed until today (6-17-24)

I loved this store beyond belief as a child. Just went to the one in Burbank and it really hit home.

You’ve been busy for 3 YEARS

Woodsy honestly should have held on to both his old design and original "Give a hoot! Don't pollute." motto. He really should also have been used in advertisements to this day like Smokey Bear, such as ones where he teaches children about the three major pollution types: land, air, and water (not counting one water pollution ad way back from 1986), as well as noise, light, thermal, and radioactive pollution. (With air, not just land, being in the natural areas as well, that would simply be a fine reason for the "Give a hoot! Don't Pollute." slogan to remain...) Furthermore, pretty much like how there are those brown Smokey Bear "Fire Danger Today" signs, there should have been signs like that with Woodsy as well. Only the Woodsy ones should have been saying "Land/Air/Water Quality Today" instead, while the smaller varicolored square part of those signs read how good or unhealthy these natural area lands, air, and waters are. And of course, the base part of those signs would be saying the iconic "Give a Hoot! Don't Pollute!" slogans. P.S. The Smokey Bear ads also should have talked about even more than the have other the decades, like how to pick the the correct campfire spot, how you should not use a lawnmower on windy and/or especially hot or dry days, and the different types of backyard debris burning (not counting one such backyard debris burning ad from 2017). There additionally should have been at least a couple Smokey ads promoting the importance of prescribed fires (yeah, THOSE Smokey ads and the ones about choosing the right campfire spot would be the perfect way for Smokey to not have his misleading criticism if you ask me...).

Mr. Mackey: No---no more Woodsy!

Glad to see you’re not Dead 👍🗿👍

I actually cannot wait

I'm an avid listener (and supporter) of Max Fun podcasts, and have heard the SHNM promo a bunch of times, but never got around to listening. Didn't realize that was you, and have now subscribed so hard!

incredible

Any video is a good video from ya 👍

This IS what I’ve been waiting for

Hell yeah

This is the video I wanted! Thank you <3

It NEVER failed! It was the BEST thing Michigan had!

Did you know there was Bubba Bears pizza theatre in Rancho Mirage?

Woodsy the owl is a child molester

As soon as I saw the picture I knew it was my major magics 🥹 I miss it

I thought south park made him up thank for the video!

Duolingo reminds me of woodsy lol

I never liked the more anthropomorphic Woodsey. It seemed like a human with a deformed head. Since there is no antipollution mascot today, the government, instead, uses intense fear tactics. What is employed to keep the environment clean is an authoritarian, "Clean now! Or, die soon! You are destroying the planet and it is your fault! Your children will die of things you do today! It has never been this bad in the past!" All that is spread are terrifying lies. The planet is far better than it was 50 years ago, even just 40 years ago. I traveled a lot as a lad, with my parents. North America was a giant landfill-like, dismal, disaster, except northern Canada. I remember whirlwinds of garbage, freeways lined with trash, brown air hovering above cities. All of that is gone, with making only rare appearances today. Northern Canada is now eden-like in cleanliness. I made many efforts to move there and have finally moved there in 2004.

that backstory was made for the rockstar era of chuck e cheese. during their 30th anniversary, (back when avenger chuck still roamed stores) it was said in the song he had a family and wasn't an orphan. So this makes rockstar and avenger 2 separate entities.

7:19 Barbra was a retrofit of billbob and beachbear had a retrofit too

I know the company that did the costume of Woodsy. This company was known as Fantasy Fair. A company that existed in San Fernando Rd. in California. They play a part in the story of Knott's Bear-y Tales and its design among other parks...

One of my earliest memories is sitting in that Marvin the Martian rocket in the WB store in the mall. I used to think about that a lot and wonder if I made it up. This was a great video about the store. I also fondly remember coming home from the mall with a Powerpuff girls scooter. I’m not sure if it was also from the WB store but maybe it was since they owned the rights. Also another Hannah Barbara factoid is that the Kings Island Amusement Park in Cincinnati ohio used to have their kids area fully themed with Hanna Barbara characters. There was a scooby doo haunted house ride that was particularly fun. King’s island was bought by another company and then cedar fair and then the kids area was eventually changed to Nickelodeon characters, and then to snoopy.

Thanks for showing, what is your opinion of: "Roger and I" documentary? Some think it mocked Flint citizens, however personally, I found them brave and struggling with an impossible situation.

Fascinating. I love this book and movie. Wish I could have visited.

Pasquale is offensive as hell, and not for any reason involving race or stereotypes. It's for calling that pizza "Italian".

10:10 did they commission Chris Chan to draw that?!

If I Could Buy Major Magic It A Be A More Update Children Entertainment, I Live In The Same Town As The Oldest One When I Moved To Clinton Twp Michigan With My Parents It Closed A Month After A Month After We Moved To Our House There COVID-19 Started, I Live Around The Corner From That Major Magic
