"My light just went out."

"George its a rehearsal. Shut up!" XD

I'd love to hear more about the Abyss issues, especially after that.

I don't care where it's being used, what context it's in, or how much it's been edited... That clip of the dinosaur saying "ALAN!" never fails to make me laugh.

Hobbiton really is amazing. I've been there pre-Hobbit films, when you could walk inside the Hobbit holes (which were filled with sheep poop), and post-Hobbit, which is stunning and magical.

I'm highly interested in the Abyss water tank problems!

The unmistakable voice of Adam the Woo.
New Zealand has the right idea about using abandoned sets as tourist attractions.

Jurassic Park III will never live down "Alan!", will it?

Actually, the Research Lab set is totally gone as of October 2019, when I last went for Horror Nights I made it a point to keep a keen eye out just to make sure as it was one of my favorite hidden gems to see on the tour as a JP fanatic

they finally and totally got rid of if

The hobbit set was abandoned after while taking it down there was a massive down pour and became unsafe to work so what was originally left was a few of the house faces and a ribbon in the party tree.

As a British 90s baby I am thrilled you mentioned Tots TV. I loved that show when I was little. It was amazing!

Said video was uploaded 2 seconds ago on my notification screen!

Sadly the lost world set mentioned is gone. I seen the area last week and everything that remained is gone.

[Itstephaniie]

It hasn't been until my recent visits to Universal had I noticed that the Lost World set was back there. Actually had the chance to run by it during the Jurassic 5k

This makes me so happy, HES COME SO FAR SINCE THE FIRST ONE!

Hey everybody! I'm actually from Gaffney, South Carolina (where the set of The Abyss is) and can answer questions about the site. Right now I am contacting many people on trying to gain access to the place. The actual site as show has been torn down but the giant warehouse used for filming the inside parts of the movie is still standing. I am hoping there is some stuff still in there to give to our local museum. But yeah, if you have any questions on the intricacies please ask away!

"George it's just a rehearsal, shut up". 😂

My mom lives right up the road from where the abyss was filmed. It always fascinated me.
