0:04 welcome everyone Adam the woo here
0:04 coming to you from Kansas City right
0:16 downtown it's kind of chilly I have my
0:16 hoodie on today I actually am wearing
0:17 flipflops and shorts though it's
0:19 supposed to warm up a little bit which
0:20 is nice CU I've been in some Colder
0:22 Weather and in some snow the last few
0:24 days and the reason I'm in Kansas city
0:26 is I want to show you something that
0:28 relates to my t- shirt here Mickey Mouse
0:31 of course Kansas City has a long list of
0:35 Disney Walt Disney tie-ins Walt Disney
0:38 had his original Studio here laag gram
0:40 Studios which is actually over that way
0:42 a couple miles mile and a half 2 miles
0:45 as well as Union Station which has a tie
0:48 in as well Walt Disney would leave his
0:51 office his one or two little room office
0:54 on the top floor of a restaurant at laag
0:56 Studios and walk down to Union Station
0:59 to shower
1:00 he was homeless at the time he ended up
1:02 going bankrupt when then he moved out to
1:04 California and of course has now become
1:06 the legendary Walt Disney and the
1:09 Disneyland Corporation so Walt has a
1:13 major tie in to Kansas City and to my
1:16 heart as well and also the reason I am
1:18 here is because I made a promise to a
1:21 friend quite some time ago to filmed
1:24 this particular location and now I am
1:26 actually here because of that reason not
1:31 only Walt Disney has a tie in here but I
1:33 had a friend who used to reside here
1:36 near Kansas City in a little town I
1:39 believe it was called Independence
1:40 Missouri which is just on the outskirts
1:43 of Kansas City and every time I would
1:45 actually come through Kansas City I
1:48 would have lunch with him hang out with
1:50 him he was one of the very first people
1:53 who actually started watching my videos
1:55 who started subscribing to my videos and
1:58 any of us who do YouTube videos if you
2:00 do YouTube videos and you start to gain
2:03 any sort of success in any fashion at
2:05 all you always will remember the first
2:08 few people who were supportive that were
2:11 on your side that gave you ideas that
2:13 became not only someone that watched
2:15 your videos but also your friend so this
2:18 video is for you Jason Craig who had a
2:21 YouTube channel 66 hell ride
2:25 unfortunately Jason had ALS disease Luke
2:28 aric's disease and he passed away almost
2:32 about a year ago 6 months ago a year
2:36 ago very
2:38 tragic and the last time I talked to
2:40 Jason on the
2:42 phone he got a hold of me and he said I
2:46 have an idea for a vlog that you could
2:48 do in downtown Kansas City he was also a
2:52 fan of Walt Disney as well Walt Disney
2:55 and Disneyland and Disney World and the
2:57 Disney Mo Movies and the whole Ambiance
2:59 that's surrounds Disney fandom if you
3:03 will Knows No Limits and it knows no
3:06 demographic really every age group every
3:09 kind of person you can think of you
3:11 cannot look at a particular person and
3:13 think that person would never enjoy the
3:16 things that are Disney in the history of
3:18 Disney and the thing that's great about
3:20 that is you meet friends from all over
3:23 the world and the country that you have
3:26 a kinship with when it comes to Disney
3:27 and Jason was no reception about that he
3:31 had this channel 66 hell ride his videos
3:34 are still up in fact I'm going to be
3:36 posting some videos down below a couple
3:38 videos that I did with him around Kansas
3:42 City as well
3:45 as my memories of him when he passed
3:48 away the day after he passed away I did
3:50 a vlog specifically for him talking
3:53 about
3:54 him what was it he wanted me to show you
3:57 guys here in Kansas City well when
4:00 Disneyland probably going to have a hard
4:02 time doing this Vlog so if I mess up any
4:04 of the facts in this please do not hold
4:06 it against
4:08 me anyway the tww corporation when
4:13 Disneyland opened in
4:15 1955 Howard Hughes and Walt Disney went
4:18 into a partnership together and they
4:20 built the
4:22 tww moonliner if you are a fan of
4:25 Disneyland you realize that the
4:26 moonliner was in tomorrow land for about
4:29 7 years from 1955 to around 1962 when
4:33 you went to Tomorrowland you can find
4:34 all kind of pictures online from the
4:36 past there was this big rocket a 70 plus
4:40 foot rocket that was the tww moonliner
4:44 and now there have actually been a
4:46 couple moonliner so we're going to refer
4:48 to the original tww moonliner as
4:50 moonliner one well here in Kansas City
4:54 the tww corporation existed and they
4:57 wanted to actually build a moonliner as
4:59 well kind of as an homage to the
5:02 Disneyland moonliner so they built a
5:07 66t moonliner which is very neat and
5:10 very interesting because my friend Jason
5:13 Craig who had a YouTube channel called
5:15 66 hell ride 66 66 ft tall which is a
5:22 very interesting coincidence I thought
5:24 about that today and it kind of made me
5:26 smile so the second moonliner was 66
5:29 feet tall just like Jason Craig's
5:31 YouTube channel 66 hell ride and the
5:33 reason he shows 66 hell ride for his
5:36 YouTube channel is he was a big fan of
5:38 traveling around and a big fan of Route
5:42 66 he loved the history of Route 66 and
5:44 he loved classic cars and I believe the
5:47 hell ride has to do with the terminology
5:50 of a classic car so I think I could be
5:53 incorrect but I think I remember him
5:55 saying something to the effect of that
5:57 is how he got his YouTube channel name
5:59 the 66 Route 66 and the hell ride being
6:02 the old classic cars but how neat and
6:05 exciting is it that this second
6:07 moonliner was 66 ft tall so they took
6:11 the image of the one at Disneyland the
6:13 moonliner one tww moonliner number one
6:16 that guy is honking because he is a fan
6:19 also of moon
6:21 liners they took the first one which was
6:24 70 something ft tall they made a replica
6:27 here in Kansas City at the TW wa
6:29 Corporation the moonliner 2 if you will
6:33 and then there's a moonliner 3 so if
6:36 you've been at Disneyland now they have
6:37 removed the first moonliner they
6:39 actually sold it off to another company
6:41 it was rectified and refurbished and now
6:44 it is in Kansas City in a warehouse at
6:45 an airline facility so it still exists
6:49 it's been renovated so the first one is
6:51 now kept away in that Airline facility
6:55 the second
6:56 one was in the airline facility I'm
6:59 getting confused
7:00 first one was at Disneyland second one
7:01 was at the airline facility and still is
7:03 here in Kansas City removed from the
7:06 original spot of the tww corporation the
7:09 third one just so happens to be at
7:12 Disneyland now currently they have made
7:14 a
7:15 22t tall moonliner 3 so if you go to
7:19 Disneyland you will actually see the
7:22 moonliner 3 it's right next to piz
7:24 support right next to innoventions which
7:26 they are currently going to be
7:28 Remodeling and probably taking out
7:30 inovent but that moonliner is up there
7:33 on the second floor kind of right next
7:35 to piz support close to Space Mountain
7:38 you can see that moonliner there and
7:41 there's a fourth one where am I doing a
7:44 fourth one not a third one a fourth
7:46 moonliner a TW
7:49 wa moonliner here in Kansas City and
7:53 Jason Craig called me on the phone
7:57 shortly before he passed away it was the
7:59 last P conversation I had with him on
8:03 the phone and he wanted me to show you
8:07 guys this and on the phone he said after
8:10 I am gone I would like you to do a vlog
8:13 and let your viewers know just as if
8:16 just how you have let me know things he
8:19 wanted me to share this information with
8:22 you so I'm doing this for him today I
8:26 would probably at some point come
8:28 through Kansas City and probably talk
8:30 about this because you know I am a big
8:32 Disney fan but I wanted to come on this
8:35 route specifically come to Kansas City
8:38 today because of this
8:39 promise I made to him so here is the tww
8:45 moonliner 4 still with the awesome
8:49 original Disneyland tww colors from
8:54 1955 and it's right up there sh
9:02 the
9:02 tww moonliner 4
9:06 22 ft on top of that
9:11 building and a lot of people that drive
9:13 by here probably do not realize the
9:16 significance the Disney significance of
9:19 that specific
9:29 moonliner now the one at Disneyland for
9:29 seven years was sponsored by tww tww was
9:32 a big sponsor of Disneyland and Walt
9:40 Disney's Walt Disney's
9:40 Endeavors so after that seven years
9:43 another corporation which is a slipping
9:45 my mind at the moment took over the
9:49 moonliner and changed the name of it and
9:51 repainted it that lasted a couple more
9:52 years and then they did a new tomorrow
9:54 land at Disneyland shortly after that
9:57 and they removed the very first
10:00 moonliner but at least when you come to
10:03 Kansas City not only can you visit laag
10:05 Studios which is just right over there a
10:07 couple miles you can also visit Union
10:10 Station where Walt Disney himself walked
10:13 Kansas City is the stomping grounds of
10:15 Walt Disney you can also stop by here
10:19 and check out the tww
10:22 moonliner
10:24 four the last of the four
10:40 it's on the corner of Baltimore Avenue
10:40 and 18th
10:43 Street and there it
10:47 is the thing that's really awesome about
10:49 this it actually still has the paint on
10:51 it
10:53 TW moonliner you can see it
10:56 barely and I apologize because I am on
10:59 the road and these Vlogs will not be
11:00 uploaded in full HD but hopefully
11:02 through the graininess of 360 or 480 DPI
11:07 you can actually see the red paint the
11:10 tww and then under the tww logo you can
11:14 see where it is written Moon
11:17 liner just like it was at Disneyland
11:33 see the background some of the Majestic
11:33 structures here in Kansas City it's very
11:36 hard to come back through a town when
11:38 you had a friend that you would meet
11:40 every time you would come through I've
11:41 been traveling a lot I traveled for 3
11:43 years living in my van two or three
11:46 times I met up with my buddy here had
11:50 lunch roam the
11:52 streets had some good conversations made
11:56 a good friend the beauty of these videos
11:59 vide is the fact that you guys enjoy
12:01 what I do and the fact that
12:04 people get a hold of me and they say
12:07 sometimes I cannot go out and do things
12:09 and visit things and they thank me
12:12 honestly from the bottom of their heart
12:14 for showing them things like
12:17 this and Jason Craig was no exception to
12:20 that rule he made it very clear to me
12:24 the last time we talked when he said
12:26 please come film this and of course I
12:29 said I'm going to be coming through
12:31 Kansas City me and you together will
12:34 come and film this together and that was
12:37 the last time I talked to him but
12:39 through the beauty of these vicarious
12:41 Vlogs if you will we are here together
12:44 my friend and I I hope you're watching
12:46 wherever you are I hope you're smiling
12:49 right now as I'm showing what you wanted
12:53 everyone to
12:59 see the tww moon liner I'm going to
12:59 cross the
13:01 road promised myself I would not shed a
13:03 tear during this I'm going to try not to
13:06 I should probably end this with a moment
13:08 of quietness please after the Vlog is
13:12 done check the links I'm going to put
13:15 down below I will put links to when him
13:18 and I were hanging out in a couple of
13:20 Vlogs he did a couple of Vlogs I did a
13:22 couple of Vlogs I will put the Vlogs
13:24 that he did and I did
13:26 together up down below
13:30 so you can see those as well as the
13:33 little homage that I did to him the
13:35 remembrance of him when he passed
13:38 away it's pretty sad to lose a friend I
13:41 know we've all lost friends but it's
13:43 even more dramatic when it's
13:46 someone that has always been supportive
13:49 of you I cannot express it enough I know
13:50 I'm rambling a lot I really apologize
13:53 that really a lot of this makes no
13:55 sense but when it's someone in my
13:58 situation
13:59 when I started doing the videos I did
14:02 not have a lot of support from people
14:04 people that were close to me were not
14:06 supportive some people were some people
14:07 weren't and definitely people who I did
14:10 not know were not very supportive at the
14:12 beginning now I have a lot of supporters
14:14 and I am truly thankful for that but I
14:17 am extra special thankful for those very
14:20 few people who gave me a lot of support
14:24 in the very beginning and this is why
14:26 this is so hard for me and so heartfelt
14:28 for me to even be doing this and talking
14:30 about this I'm sure those emotions do
14:33 not come through the video and the
14:36 Vlog so that's all I want to say I'm
14:38 going to do a moment of quietness now
14:41 we're going to show the rocket show the
14:43 building the moonliner 4 tww is
14:47 moonliner 4 so if you ever come to
14:50 Kansas City and you see this or if
14:51 you're ever at
14:52 Disneyland and you see the moonliner
14:55 three that is there right next to Pizza
14:57 Port you think oh there's a neat Little
14:58 Rock ET there need Little Rocket just
15:01 think to yourself that means something
15:04 to someone not only the history of who
15:06 created it but it also means something
15:09 to someone else to me and to my friend
15:13 Jason
15:14 Craig 66 hell
15:17 ride this one's for you
16:14 thanks for watching this Vlog everyone

16:21 we do what we put out into the world is
16:24 always going to be

16:38 me I know sometimes I can be a little
16:41 over the
16:42 top which that's just kind of how I am I

16:48 be emotional like
