today's adventure brings us out to the
0:04
deserts
0:06
California and if this billboard is any
0:10
indication is that a handdrawn dinosaur
0:13
up there either way we're going to see
0:15
some
0:17
dinos lots of dinos robotic Museum and
0:23
Cave sounds pretty interesting I don't
0:26
think this truck
0:27
stop has been quite operational for some
0:30
time that was just used for promotional
0:34
purposes ah this brings back some
0:36
serious
0:37
Memories the Wheelin
0:40
restaurant which is no longer around
0:43
it's been bulldozed
0:46
completely sat right in front of these
0:50
very Monumental
0:51
structures these dinos of Epic
0:54
Proportions welcome everyone Adam the
0:57
woo here making my way
1:00
to where once was the former entrance to
1:04
the diner where Large Marge had her
1:08
booth and PeeWee walked the same way
1:11
fact right in this same little
1:15
area is where the famous line Large
1:18
Marge sent me her ghost and even though
1:23
all this is no longer here was a faint
1:27
Mystic memory
1:30
sometimes you just have to let things go
1:31
you can't hold on forever you have to
1:34
let the past be the past but it's not
1:37
going to stop me from wandering around
1:39
and doing a little explore I strongly
1:42
disagree with you you got to hold on to
1:45
the Past you've got to find every little
1:48
piece that you can and hold on to it no
1:50
matter how dirty or crusty Large Marge
1:54
tenis here I knew you would be here Jus
1:57
cuz Large Marge told told me you would
2:01
be here she wanted you to have this Adam
2:04
I need to join you shall I do I really
2:08
have to hold this yes we've been out
2:10
here many times before you need to
2:12
cherish the memories put this one in
2:13
your
2:19
sweater it is true though it seems like
2:19
almost every time I've been out here
2:21
Justin scar has been with me and out of
2:23
all those occasions I never noticed this
2:26
creepy manhole is protected very well
2:29
amazing man look at it's like lined with
2:32
bricks most of the stuff here was
2:34
handmade so you have to imagine that's a
2:36
handmade
2:37
manhole x marks the spot that's going to
2:41
that's not going to do a lot of
2:42
protecting though no and there are
2:44
several more manholes so I think we uh
2:47
oh that's so dangerous we ought to use a
2:49
little Caution here because uh yeah
2:51
that's that's not so dangerous but that
2:53
if you were to step on that take your
2:55
foot away from there no no they they
2:57
need to put they need to put a more
2:58
secure fence line up
3:00
okay let's head over let's head over to
3:02
the destination going to start off by
3:04
going inside Denny to the gift shop up
3:07
inside his torso then a little later
3:10
we're going to head over to Mr Rex's
3:12
dinosaur adventure spoiler alert we'll
3:14
also be going up inside the T-Rex mouth
3:18
up into those teeth don't try climbing
3:21
the tail we've got some serious barb
3:25
wire there don't even attempt it I may
3:28
or may not have misspoke the pronun a
3:30
not Denny it's diny and this staircase
3:34
leads up to its
3:37
belly reminds me of the wizard with Fred
3:40
Savage
3:42
California last time I was in here some
3:44
of these cases did not have these
3:47
particular pieces artifacts of Plenty do
3:51
you know what this one
3:52
is right here you know what this is
3:55
no it's wood
4:02
yes that's exciting and all but I'm more
4:02
enamored by these pieces going all the
4:05
way up the elevation all kind of items
4:09
up here available for purchase way back
4:11
in the day these were painted but
4:13
they've tried to disguise them by
4:15
coloring them the
4:17
same color as the walls and pillars you
4:21
can see this States right here 2 million
4:25
years old no 200 no that is 2 million 2
4:29
million years years old I got a little
4:31
confused with the decimal point here on
4:33
the peeking
4:36
man yeah 2,200,000 it's same ballpark
4:40
and speaking of that late 80s movie The
4:43
Wizard this is where the little brother
4:46
embedded himself right in here if you
4:48
remove all these stuffed animals he
4:51
would have been crammed right up in here
4:53
into the neck the neck has been covered
4:56
but that's where it was a little movie
4:57
history right there so how does that
5:00
well you just I don't know squirt the
5:02
water try to get the rings on the look
5:04
at look how did you see that what are
5:06
you trying to get the rings on on to the
5:08
husk of the of the
5:11
source oh oh was close it counts oh wow
5:15
according to the sign the wall decals
5:17
pictured here can be purchased for
5:19
$24.95 you can put that on the in your
5:21
room if you so choose there is the crow
5:23
magnum man and the Java man man after my
5:27
own heart cuz I I also enjoy boy a good
5:30
cup of coffee it looks like at one point
5:32
there was a seating area over here that
5:35
has been kind of thwarted it says buy
5:37
your tickets at the register for the
5:41
museum what happened oh he won't let go
5:44
oh my God bleeding you got a little
5:47
blood there is that your blood I I hope
5:50
so this is pretty much the money shot
5:52
right here if you're ever if you're ever
5:54
out here this is the best angle to get
5:56
both of them in frame I was wondering
5:57
why is there a food truck over there
6:00
but by closer inspection it kind of
6:02
makes sense the theming definitely
6:04
applies if you ask me it's pretty much
6:07
perfect placement for swet aaur and look
6:11
at this there's something called a
6:13
waffle sorus of the pizza
6:18
persuasion chocolate original
6:21
churro oh I might have to come back here
6:23
a little later and get a snack now don't
6:25
quote me on this but I think a
6:27
repainting of the body has taking
6:31
place
6:33
maybe could be wrong but I think it's
6:36
been repainted you have to walk a little
6:37
bit of a ways to get into what they call
6:40
the
6:41
museum one
6:43
added fact about this is Fu Houser this
6:46
is one of his favorite places he quoted
6:48
if there was ever a California Roadside
6:50
Attraction this is it I love fuel so I
6:55
approve of that message parking
6:57
situation is a little confusing it
6:58
states right down here that you can park
7:02
there but then also above that little oh
7:05
that's not an arrow that's oh no that's
7:08
that's a footprint but then there's this
7:10
huge Arrow shifting into this open
7:15
gate what's that sign say wait a minute
7:19
free parking inside but we
7:23
parked outside are we going to get
7:26
charged for this the neon sign says open
7:29
right right over there it's blinking
7:31
right there see it underneath more barb
7:34
wire right there plain as day o p e n Go
7:40
in okay let's do
7:43
it what have they got in there King Kong
7:46
or
7:48
possibly
7:50
that as you can see he's been suffering
7:52
from a little bit of tooth decay out
7:54
here you see that yeah he's like it's
7:56
either the elements or not enough not
7:59
enough floss oh there's even more
8:01
there's more back over there I think we
8:03
can get up on that ledge and get a
8:04
little bit of a bird's eye hello there
8:06
lizard from here you can get a peek over
8:08
the fence line of what's going to
8:11
oh didn't see you up there just to show
8:15
the way my mind works I'm enamored by
8:18
these and even more enamored by these
8:21
but then all of a sudden I notice way
8:23
back there in that Barn if you look
8:25
closely into the window is a army man
8:29
statue you yeah barely like a silhouette
8:32
of an army man like peeking
8:34
out maybe he's going to battle going to
8:37
go to battle with these stop do not
8:40
proceed without tickets good thing we
8:42
already purchased ours a little bit
8:45
earlier in that gift
8:46
shop what are you trying to
8:49
say oh my gosh this is awesome in here
8:54
what's he saying I can't tell you yes
8:58
get atam while he's sleeping no no what
9:01
I don't want to know that don't tell me
9:03
that look at these sharp sharp
9:07
fangs wow this is really cool in here
9:10
they're all moving I'm a little too
9:13
heavy to to ride to ride this one
9:17
however but man that would be a cool
9:19
experience he's just shaking hands
9:21
shaking your hands just being friendly
9:22
you know how's it
9:25
going you like being in the video
9:31

9:41
DJ he's like DJing he's like look he had
9:43
like a record player down there look the
9:46
eyes of that dinosaur I think you're in
9:48
the wrong VD I think you're in the wrong
9:50
Vlog for a little while you were talking
9:52
about those heads that were covered up
9:53
in diny back there for a little while
9:56
this was a creationist Museum and in
9:58
here they were scenes of dinosaurs
10:00
fighting nights and Shining Armor and
10:02
different stuff obviously now they've
10:04
gone with a different approach which is
10:06
more dinosaurs now I've been here before
10:08
but I've never done a designated video
10:11
completely on this place and I'm glad
10:14
I'm doing it
10:15
now holy cow this is
10:21
cool stomach pains
10:43
oh you're not cam shy at
10:47
all mush fishy mush why won't you mush
10:52
no
11:00
more help me out of here
11:00
you've been
11:03
born some clever posters here Star Wars
11:08
Jurassic jaws and there's an ET inspired
11:12
version I can't stop doing this what is
11:15
that I have no idea but I love it look
11:18
squeezing it look at this one comes out
11:20
the other end oh my gosh okay get rid of
11:22
that one see now this this is a problem
11:25
this is a much worse problem why is it
11:28
brown all right let's see what happens
11:30
the wheels okay there it goes the
11:32
Penny's the Penny's dropping I think
11:35
those gears are going okay the gears are
11:37
turning gears in this machine keeps on
11:48
turning look at that back outside again
11:48
they are virtually everywhere you turn
11:52
they are rearing their head even even
11:55
back there he's just kind of looking
11:57
over the fence line wondering wondering
11:59
what is on the horizon been to one too
12:02
many Maiden concerts too much
12:04
headbanging Who
12:09
whoo hold still
12:12
stay
12:17
stay stay staying on the path shouldn't
12:21
be the only warning you got to be
12:25
careful are you offering me weed
12:33
getting very friendly with each other or
12:33
maybe they're in a a heated argument
12:35
it's hard to
12:42
tell help you all right I'm afraid to
12:42
move even a section that you can do a
12:45
little mining right here you got the
12:47
water well pushing
12:50
the pushing the little makeshift River
12:54
you kind of
12:55
just pick this up and shake it and see
12:58
what can be found of course instead of
13:00
falling into there you know everything
13:02
that's
13:03
valuable end up I got
13:07
something a stick that's not worth
13:11
anything oh is there any gold in there
13:13
no no gold oh wait look here huh there's
13:16
something that there's something what is
13:18
that it's gold no it's silver oh no it
13:22
it's it's Fool's Gold what does that
13:25
make
13:26
me really adds to the Ambiance with the
13:29
backdrop of the mountains makes all
13:32
these figures look quite impressive more
13:35
impressive than if they were not in
13:37
front of the mountain range got a gator
13:39
back there and even some eggs not sure
13:42
if that is a a mother
13:45
protecting the future youth in the eggs
13:48
or it's a predator of sorts speaking of
13:52
predators this
13:53
T-Rex did you know that the meaning of
13:57
that is tyrants
13:59
lizard States right there on that little
14:02
placard some of them disguised in the
14:04
foliage cuz they're so teeny and Tiny
14:07
But then some a little bit bigger and
14:09
some massive but if you look through all
14:13
these shrubs see them they're just
14:16
hiding all along in here how is it even
14:18
possible to fit in there could you fit
14:22
in there I don't know you're a little
14:25
big they say in this day and age lizards
14:29
are basically the closest form to a
14:32
dinosaur this is a kind of a combination
14:34
of both oh it's almost like the
14:37
Hypnotoad look at those eyes don't stare
14:40
don't stare too
14:46
deeply hope you have your Teta shot as
14:46
well because that right there not this
14:49
one so much but this here is more or
14:52
less just a rusty nail
15:04
wonder if they ever get annoyed or
15:04
bothered that the freeway
15:06
traffic noise
15:08
is very very imminent out here you can
15:12
faintly hear it it's never
15:14
overbearing but it is in the
15:17
background don't seem to
15:19
mind okay never mind the traffic noise
15:22
what about the train
15:25
noise train going by
15:30
even though most of what I've been
15:31
showing are newer creatures this
15:33
turtle's been here for a heck of a long
15:35
time nearly around the same time frame
15:38
as this that I'm about to go up finally
15:42
about to go up inside the
15:44
mouth to the belly of the Beast not only
15:48
climbing is not allowed but don't even
15:51
attempt a
15:53
skateboard you don't want to like bring
15:55
a skateboard up or down this ramp St
16:00
watch your step all of this right here
16:02
the reason it looks different is cuz
16:04
originally when Claude Bell built Mr Rex
16:07
he built it with an exit door up there
16:09
on the rump and this whole tail was
16:13
meant to be a slide unfortunately it was
16:16
a little too Steep and a little too
16:19
concrete and it never really worked out
16:22
so they had to patch it up with concrete
16:24
it never really was viable but that was
16:26
the original idea did you ever ride on
16:27
the slide no but I did climb up at once
16:30
and try to slide down its its rumpus
16:32
here and that was a painful lesson and a
16:36
thing
16:46
not there's the door for the slide right
16:52
there yeah you just like kind of lay
16:54
down on there and slide down the tail
16:56
picked a very busy time there's a heck
16:58
of a lot of people waiting to get up
17:00
into the mouth so going to grab a bite
17:03
to eat we're going to get one of those
17:04
treats and then try to go back up there
17:07
a little bit later when the line
17:08
dissipates just a little food truck time
17:11
on the opposite side of this vehicle it
17:13
says land of the waffle
17:16
saurus oh
17:19
yeah I like that cheese and pepperoni in
17:24
a Parmesan
17:26
induced this is yeah look at this you
17:28
can kind of see the formation here look
17:30
you can see like the silhouette and the
17:34
indentations of the Dino and you can see
17:37
all the look at all that parmesan cheese
17:39
on there pepperoni and cheese I'm going
17:43
in under the backdrop of the
17:55
T-Rex it's a lot of cheese
18:19
eating want
18:19
them that's okay little too much gluten
18:23
now that I have a moderately full
18:25
stomach I try to go up in the mouth once
18:28
again
18:29
I got to get up in there has to be
18:32
done back up the stairs
18:36
considerably different crowd wise than
18:39
before people went all the way up to the
18:42
tippy top now there's no one in here
18:45
well relatively few people in here but
18:48
us see you can really see the outline of
18:52
the door for the slide and once they
18:55
abandon the plan you can still see the
18:56
rebar and the concrete added afterwards
18:59
all hidden behind the sign
19:04
secret doing this oh I'm actually doing
19:07
this the windy
19:09
staircase the
19:11
windy going up going up here into the
19:18
mouth what
19:20
happening oh my
19:23
gosh he was here sort
19:26
of look at this
19:35
that's awesome it's kind of scary W it's
19:35
very windy is this thing
19:42
shaking this is very high up do I look
19:42
frightened not I'm not fright quite an
19:46
angle looking through through the
19:55
teeth everyone I know has a big butt
19:55
come on Simone let's talk about your big
19:58
butt
19:59
got a quote peee went in the mouth it's
20:02
kind of a it's kind of a
20:05
given right check out the eyes up
20:08
there the glistening eyes I always
20:11
wonder how they did that effect they
20:12
have two red lights that that shoot
20:15
towards the retinas the pupils but when
20:18
you're
20:20
outside looks like Mr Rex has red
20:23
glaring beaming eyes at one point there
20:26
used to be models
20:28
in here and over there that's almost
20:31
like
20:32
a a
20:35
volcano
20:36
could it was uh it was like uh how did
20:40
they go extinct was it volcanoes oh was
20:43
it an Ice Age what killed the dinosaurs
20:46
okay so they had they had them all in
20:47
here in the lake of either water in the
20:50
ice or molten lava I guess at one point
20:54
there used to be a photo op right over
20:57
here it's closed Ed off but you can
20:59
still see the imitation grass almost
21:02
like Golf Course Greenery and the
21:05
backdrop on either side and this one
21:07
lonely
21:09
