IF PEOPLE WERE TO PUT THE TITANIC AND THE QUEEN MARY NEXT TO EACH OTHER THEY COULDN'T TELL THEM APART THE ONLY THING MISSING WOULD BE THE 4TH FUNNEL FROM THE QUEEN MARY
Hmmmmmm.......... odd -- if they did this because of flooding --- why isn't the under ground flooded????
I spent the night on Thanksgiving 1986. This was fun to see and brought back a lot of memories 😊
Thank-you for sharing, I took the tour in the early 80s. ;-)
Excellent video. Thanks, I enjoyed it very much!
I’ve always wondered if you could see her house from downtown Santa Clara which at the time was near Washington and Main and Jackson about 3 miles away. But I doubt it. She was far enough out of town. She would be horrified by the what they’ve done to her property and the area, freeway right next door and the developments…
IF Roy Disney could see it, he' ll turn in his grave. IT costs $800, not incldg. Parking.
Excellent video! Thank you!
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it!
Bummer! The closed off the wings!
They will eventually be restored and reopened.
Spoiler alert: there is no mystery, its just an old Victorian house. You can find the same architecture in old downtown San Jose. It's a tourist trap. Mary Hayes Chenowyth, a healer and very rich, also had a mansion in San Jose, and there is no charge.
The Hayes Masion isn't even the original. The original burned in 1899, and in 1905 a new Mediterranean style villa was constructed in its place. What makes the Winchester house unique is 1) its original. 2) it may be Queen Anne style but the layout, design, and the innovations created for it were very unique. 3) its one of the largest mansions in the United States. There are a lot of unique features to it. That may not matter to some people, but other folks, such as myself find value in it especially because of the story of the wonderful lady who built it.
A story I’ve heard that made me smile. Apparently, the proposed name for the ship was the Queen Victoria. When the Cunard Chairman approached the King to get permission for the name, instead of just saying we would like to call it the QV, he fluffed it up and asked permission to name the ship after the most beloved Queen of the last century. Before he got another word out the King said, I’m sure my wife would be delighted.
RMS Olympic also deserved same kind of restoration 🙂
Thank you so much for all your work in sharing this with us- long live The Queen!🇬🇧🙏❤
Cool
It would be interesting to know what buildings are on top of the underground
Why did Disney create his theme parks? He could have just lived from his cartoons. We've out grown Disney theme parks.
The reason why was mentioned at the beginning of the video. Walt used to take his daughters out on Saturdays and everywhere they went, places only offered fun for the children, and parents had to sit around watching them. Walt said "I felt that there should be something built, some kind of amusement enterprise built, where the parents and the children could have fun together."
Thought this was just a movie i didnt this was based on a true story wow 😱
Well...kinda...its based on a real woman and her wacky house 😄
🇺🇲🗽😷☕
Hopefully Freddy’s last name isn’t Kruger. 😱
Actually it's Highmore 😁
I ❤love the Queen Mary, for ever and always! Absolutely beautiful lady. ❤️😍❤️
You forgot it also met CO2
I think Uber will be the first one even though they have their own airline
The cross dresser and snowflakes have taken over the company and turned Walt’s company into a woke perverted park. Walt created a park that catered to the nuclear family
Went on the tour when I lived on the west coast several years ago. It was interesting and learned quite a lot about the historical area. Don’t miss going if you have a chance.
Great video!! I spent a year watching DisneyLs 45 Anniversarys "Fantasy In The Sky" fireworks from my apartment balcony in Orange. Learned from your work! 24 K Gold spindles caught my attention to stay and finish. What a visionist Walt was.
What is the other hull in the dry dock?
It's actually the original gate of that dry dock.
Cool. I just saw a glimpse in the video and it looked like the bow of a hull.
Nothing in all the world is more important than a Dream.
I grew up near Disneyland. I live in Central Florida now and whenever I go to Magic Kingdom… I still look to the right and feel just a little sad that there is no Matterhorn. Nevertheless, every time I go back to CA I think it’s a treat to get to ride it.
The red carpets do look much better aswell, the old ones were way too crowded with the desgin, while the style is all about simplicity.
He was a visionary ❤
Am i the only one who has bin here with my cousins and is irish my self i’ve bin to the museum and i really enjoyed it and i love the nordamic Its the closest thing i will get to walk the decks on the titanic
I remember the last time I rode this is was pitch dark. My cousin's and I had our own boats and we're waving to my mom while she records and you hear my aunt in the background saying there's no lights. It was kinda scary. Fun, but scary.
Thank you for the tour 😊
Great tour i remember in 1970 are High school class went here for are Senior Skip Day most of us liked it great history on how and why .⛏️🇺🇸
I hope the former lounges, dining rooms and such will be filled with replicas, and the woodworks will be refinished aswell, because that's why people think it looks haunted, it just looks used and empty.
I believe she was suffering from a mental illness and people took advantage of her weaknesses and wealth. Imagine how many people made money building that place. 🤔
We visited in 2007 but it seemed limited with where we could access. I don’t remember seeing the engine room. I wanted to see a room from the hotel. Housekeeping was cleaning and I asked if I could peek in and she said no. All the rooms were occupied and it was against the rules. We did eat at the restaurant on the ship and I even crawled my 6’3” 225# self through the submarine though. Lol. Cluster phobia X10 in there. Great video.
Thank you, thank you, thank you...such beautiful memories you brought back. I had my senior prom here and used to go to the most horrifying haunted house/ ship experience here during halloween. One of the views from my apt, years ago, was of the Queen Mary when I lived on Long Beach. Absolutely fond memories. Thank you for this remarkable tour.
My pleasure!
Absurd, why’d I want to visit it now you just did it for me
Don't watch it then. This video is for people who know they can never go. Or for people who went but want to learn more. Or for people thinking about going, but want to make sure they're making the right decision. I left out plenty of information, so that when people go, there is more to learn. I also didn't show everything, I left a lot out.
How disappointing to learn that the famous ghost stories of the Queen Mary are just made up by Disney 😕
Hi Alex. Quick question where did you get your C.K Holiday and Forney locomotive that was shown in the video.
The C.K. Holliday was a limited edition sold at Disneyland back in 2010. My father went to Disneyland and bought it for me as a birthday present back then. I bought the Forney on eBay.
Was in Long Beach in 2006 and saw the Queen at a distance , but no time to climb aboard . This doc. allows me to look inside after all this time . 82000 tons can be seen in the immensity of internal space . Compared to modern liners she looks like a greyhound . ❤ Thanks awefully chaps ! . Dave
It was our pleasure, glad you enjoyed the video!
My Dad came home on the Queen Mary as she was also a hospital ship during WW11. He scratched his name on the wall where he was laying. I don't know where he was on this ship but if anyone ever comes across the name John Payne, please take a picture and and let me know. Thankyou for sharing this story.
Sarah was a amazing woman and its sad that that her workers did all the work and there was a earth quake😮 but at less she had enough home to go to and i think she had her dream for a little while
the people running the Queen Mary don’t take care of the ship, apparently it’s about to capsize.😢😢😢
No that capsizing thing was a bunch of nonsense the media got wrong. True the previous operators of the ship didn't take care of the ship. But the CURRENT operators take good care of the ship, she's already had $25 million of repairs and restoration done, and more work is still being done. The new management has been running the ship at a profit since it reopened and all the profit has been invested into repairs. The Queen Mary will be perfectly fine.
Oh! Welp, I’m relived 😅😅😅
This is a perfect place to secure during a zombie apocalypse
This is literally where I would go in such an event. The Queen Mary is also the safest location in Southern California during the Big Earthquake, because even the biggest earthquakes hardly make the ship budge at all.
@AlextheHistorian not sure about earthquakes. I don't think the QM in its current condition could withstand tsunamis resulting from major earthquakes. But the island and port the ship is located in, has only one way in, and would make a great island fort.
@kewlztertc5386 well the Queen Mary has sat through some big earthquakes in the 50 years she's been in Long Beach. A friend of mine was on the ship during the 1994 Northridge Earthquake and said the ship gently rolled ever so slightly, hardly noticeable. The big earthquake yet to happen would occur on the San Andreas fault, which is at least 50-60 miles from the coastline, it couldn't displace enough water to generate a tsunami of any concern, maybe a couple feet high if that. Tsunamis really only occur when an earthquake strikes the coast or an area underwater.
@AlextheHistorian Tsunami travel at 500mph across the ocean. The plate that the San Andreas is connected to rubs against the Mariana Trench (induction fault) in the pacific. Also, any earthquakes in the pacific rim of fire, from Alaska to Japan, can generate Tsunami that will travel clear across the ocean.
In 2017...or 2019 I can't remember which, I was still living in Southern California at the time. We got hit with a 7.1 earthquake, located along the San Andreas, it didn't generate a tsunami. The San Andreas isn't expected to generate an earthquake larger than an 8.2. It's located far inland, and a a slipping fault doesn't cause other faults to slip. Now where I live, in the Pacific Northwest, we have the Cascadia fault which can generate more powerful Earthquakes in the 9.0 range. The Cascadia is underwater, that one is definitely expected to create a tsunami.
I LOVE UNCLE WALT! I know that God put him on the Earth and mounded his mind to bring joy to millions.
