1. Nice to see Woody and Buzz getting some good jobs after Andy gave them away

2. As a non American, I would never go to freedom land, that sounds weird.

3. 12:10 is that Sousa's Liberty Bell March without the bell? Dafuq is this?

4. This opening may be the cleverest one so far.

5. 27:03 As someone who has seen unsleeping city chapter 1, hearing Robert Moses' name shook me a bit

6. I love that first shot of the card intro!

7. this is the 3rd video of yours I've watched that mentioned Robert Moses and every time i curse his name like he's a super villain

8. Here at 1,767,419 views. (before that too)

9. 20:59
   God save the Queen starts playing

10. 12:09 And now for something completely different

11. Woody: Walks into an engineering interview with nothing, "Yeah I'm a engineer" "You're hired!"
    Me: Gets a 4 year engineering degree, puts together a resume, apply for engineering jobs all over, go through dozens of interviews, "Yeah, we want someone with 10+ years experience for this entry level job"

    Seems fair…

12. the quality is way too good for youtube

13. Instead of magic this theme park featured the horrors and suffering of USA, built by a swindler whose goal in life was money and power. It's really aptly named.

14. 'my theme park mascot is a personification of american values of hard work and ingenuity'
    saved it at the end there because i don't believe 'lying on your CV' is really hard work there buddy ol'pal. cheating your way to the top is certainly a type of ingenuity… very bold and brash, clever. good save.

15. 16:10 cougar attacks? I thought there were no cougars in missions?

16. Me, a sheltered Brit: "Wow, I'd never heard of any of this stuff, it's fascinating… WAIT, he was the guy who bought London Bridge???"

    Hearing about that man shaped my idea of The American Way for a good chunk of my childhood. Amazing to get to hear more of his story.

17. Ha! Don't F with Walt Disney

18. Didn't Walt design "Freedomland" like before Disneyland was even finished?!
    Surprised Walt didn't take that man out

19. i cannot get enough of your presentation style, your voice, your entire channel, my brain just absorbs your content, straight to the dopamine center.

20. I am wondering if Walt ever considered lawsuits against Freedom land. It's easy to see a lot of Disney/ Freedom land compressions in attractions and ideas. Disney's imaginers are credited with many attractions at Disney but it looks like several actually came from Freedom land. Or, did they steal from each other?

21. "Freedom Land" can't get anymore American than that.

22. "Freedomland was the bedroom where Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty made yankee doodle dandy."

    I snorted so hard I think I hurt myself-

23. Homelander: The Place

24. Have you read the book about this , called 3 years in wonderland?

25. Meow wolf the art installation and museum is an executive producer ????!!!!!🤗

26. This just seems like a republican 's paradise.

27. For a park themed around early american history, “disaster turned entertainment” and “indian fightin’ days”….
    Something’s missing…

28. Please use an audio filter to remove high pitched noises from the old videos. It is Tinnitus-irritating

29. Too much details. Gets boring with time. As much as I love your channel.

30. I still can't believe you didn't make any jokes about how two of the men who helped build Disneyland were named Woody and Buzz.

31. Patriotisim is the wrong word. Nationalisim is more like it.

32. >builds a USA-themed park in the USA
    >it doesn’t work

    Disney:👁👄👁
    >builds a California-themed park in California
    >it doesn’t work

    Disney:,,,,,, by TALOS,

33. An American themed theme park in the already American themed America

34. The robber was so mad at getting ripped off he turned in his co consipiritors at the cost of his own freedom lmao

35. I honestly really like this park. It’s a really cool idea, a sort of American Puy du Fou. Wish I could have gone. Also as someone from Tucson it’s cool to see my city represented

36. Freedomland was inside us the entire time.

37. Freedomland sounded like a cool concept. Clever design of the park to make it look like an accurate map of the USA. Too bad it failed miserably.

38. Holysh*t your intro's are always AMAZING! The whole video is brilliant, but holysh*t!
