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
16:15
I'm going to end you with this just
16:16

16:18
only put here for a very short time what
16:21
we do what we put out into the world is
16:24
always going to be
16:26
there so put positivity in the the world
16:29

16:31
world that's all I really want to say
16:35
today thanks for watching this thanks
16:37
for watching
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
16:44
guess being over the top sometimes I can
16:48
be emotional like
16:50
today but remember we're only here for a
16:52
short
16:53
while so please positivity into the
