Adam, thank you for sharing another great video. As I approach 57 years old, I’m challenged with many negatives in my life. As we all live thru you vicariously, your positive outlook on a daily basis is therapeutic and uplifted. Your parents did a great job of raising you. Thank you for making us laugh and smile.
We interviewed Vic Mignogna last year talking about Star Trek: Continues. He was very enthusiastic about creating the series and how a lot of us fans have enjoyed his series. Many thanks Vic.
The attention to detail is just stunning. It is truly amazing how Vic managed to pull all those people and resources together and create something as great as that.
I am so used to the Woo cracking me up with his commentary, that I was shocked, as he let his partner enjoy the tour without barely making a sound. He was nice enough to wait for the tour to end. You can tell his partner was in another dimension. I know the feeling. I visited the other Star Trek set, in Ticonderoga, NY., which was equally impressive. After growing up with TOS, just after it went into syndication in 1970, it finally came full circle just over a year ago when I made the pilgrimage to upstate NY. Sitting in the captain's chair, seeing the bridge in all it's glory... It was everything I had hoped it would be. Now that I've actually been aboard the Enterprise, the episodes will never be quite the same.
I just saw Shatner on tour last night in Sugar Land (Houston) Texas last night. It's hard to believe he's 92. It was great to hear his stories about the show and his recent journey into space. Your sharing this video today was perfect timing! Thanks for taking us along.
I saw shatner at the NYC comicon last year in October before he up to space. He is definitely showing his age. He kinda rambles and goes off on tangents when he talks. He's a bit forgetful but could still carry on a conversation. I'm happy I saw him, maybe for the last time. Live long and prosper.
Why are there only two of these sets in the entire USA??? There should be fifty, one per state so that everyone can experience the feeling of being on the set of TOS.
As a TOS fanatic I find this tour Outstanding. The gentleman that played Kirk in a Very Well done Fan series and that is hosting this guided tour is a highly underrated actor. He should had been cast into one of the Actual Star Trek corporate reboots. The labor of Love is Strong in the Star Trek Universe.
Laddie, don't you think you should rephrase that? Vic is still alive. I don't know who Chris is unless you're speaking of Chris Doohan, he's also alive. So I'm very confused why you're saying rip to two of them as well as Grant?
@@phillosophy3925 yeah I see what you mean but to me it means that all three of them passed on. It just looks like a pause in reading the list of names.
I watched the original series when it first aired and have been a fan ever since. I'm grateful to have been able to experience the Neutral Zone sets. Special thanks to Ray and Terri for their hard work to preserve this unique facility and share it with TOS fans. THANK YOU!!!
Adam: Several years ago (1980's) we went to Las Vegas and toured the reproduction of the Enterprise at one of the major hotels. It was amazing and such a treat! I sat in the Captain's chair too. There was a part of it that was a 3D ride in shuttles, we had to fight the Klingons and escape. We landed (never left the room) and got off and walked down a long hall way into the back of the gift shop! LOL... They had done such an outstanding job of so many areas of the ship, museum, the ride, and the realizism. We loved it! We also went to Universal Studios and they had a set where you dressed in your favorite character and played a part on camera with another crew member (employee). I got a copy of the DVD; I played the Captain. We had to fight the enemy too. What fun! This tour has brought back so many wonderful memories. Thank you for going there and seeing this amazing set and meeting the real stars of the show. I will look for it online and watch. I am a "treky" for sure!
I too visited that Star Trek Experience in Vegas. It was awesome!! The ride was especially exciting. You never left the small room, but it felt like you went on an actual ride through space. There were red railings in the middle of the room and I thought, "that's odd, why would you have those there"? So during the ride I took a moment to look at the people instead of what was going on. It was amazing to see the people leaning into the turns, and holding onto the railing like if they let go they would fall over. And I believe some would have it felt that true to life. Thanks for that return trip my friend!!!!!!!!!🤪
Vic really is a true Trekkie not just an actor or a 'cover' actor. He knows and lives and breaths this stuff. Its to people like him we owe a lot of thanks that we still have a fan side that we as normal non Hollywood folk can interact with and visit places like this. Also to have new adventures to watch and not have to wait on the next $100 million dollar movie to come out. I appreciate them them all for their hard work and love of the stuff we love. Thanks Guys. And Chris is so much bigger than he seemed on the Continues episodes. Not fat big just a big guy. Im glad he seems to love reprising what his dad did before him.. My sister is 15 years older than me and grew up on TOS. I grew up on TOS as reruns in the 70s. and then from there the galaxy. Love you all for who you are as people and what you do. Thank you all.
@@GregsVlog Yes I fully agree. I was gutted when Star Trek Continues ended. I put it alongside TOS and the animated series. It took me a while to get into the new cinema movies as I thought Vic was The most convincing Kirk with his mannerisms. He did give us a teaser video at the end giving us hope of making a continuation of the original Star Trek movies when he wore one of original Kirk's costumes so he just needs someone willing to make another dream come true...!
That was a really special video. I'm not someone who geeks out over things like this but to actually be on the bridge of the USS Enterprise and sit where Captain Kirk, Spock, Bones etc sat, would of been mindblowing to 6 year old self. Goosebumps :))
This video made me emotional! I was in 7th grade when Star Trek premiered and I loved it from the first episode. And I continue to love Star Trek because of the values it portrays. Thank you for this video.
My mum ran a ST fan club in the UK, in the 1970's, and with a friend we came over, to visit relatives in NYC. Then travel across the US, stopping with a couple of pen friends. Before traveling back from LA to NYC, by Greyhound. In LA my mum's pen friend worked for Gene. So we managed to get on the set of the first film. We got to see engineering, a corridor and sickbay. We also stood out of sight, while they filmed a shot on the bridge!
Oh my Gosh, I had no idea this even existed! I would have cried being able to sit in the captains chair. That is so awesome! Wow the memories of watching star treck with my grandfather all came flooding back seeing the sets . What an awsome place ! Thank you Adam for bringing us along on this adventure 🙂
Thanks Adam for introducing me to Star trek continues. I never heard of it before this video. Star Trek continues was tasteful and respectfully created as a continuation of the original series.
This was great thanks for doing this. It brings back fond memories. I am 70 and watched the original series when it first came out in in Sept 1966, I was 13. I still watch it to this day on DVD and Paramount. I also have seen all the new spin off series starting with the Next Gen. What a contribution to our culture Gene Roddenberry and the cast played a part in. Thanks again.
This is fabulous. Watching this just drives home how impressive the original set designers really were. If you want a good read of what went into the production (e.g., bees and birds and flushing toilets interrupting the production day), be sure to read Inside Star Trek: The Real Story by Herb Solow and Bob Justman. We grew up with TOS in syndication on WZTV 17 Fox out of Nashville. And though I own the series on both DVD and Blu-ray, there was something special about turning on the TV at 9 PM, knowing my "friends" of Star Trek would be there, taking me with them on another journey through our wonderful cosmos. Thank you for taking us on this tour, and thank you to all the hard work that the Neutral Zone Studios cast/crew put into the set pieces.
Star Trek Continues has done so much fantastic work! Years ago before they made their first episode, they had small vignettes. Those short clips did so much to hearten me. In particular the redone scene with Janis Lester...the final scene of STO AND IT CONTINUED past the point of where the original show ended...that was such a powerful moment and put us on notice that Star Trek DOES continue!
Not sure who the older gent was (a fan?) that was dressed like Scotty from the movies, but he was a spittin' image. I've watched Star Trek Continues, and I was flabbergasted at how well the actors portrayed the original cast. Thanks Adam, just added this to my bucket list!
My dad would die & go to Star Trek heaven if he ever steps foot in the recreation of The Star Trek Enterprise. When I was kid and an episode of Star Trek came on tv. I was not allowed to disturb him during his Star Trek watching hour. He just celebrated his 83rd birthday. He's a die hard trekkie.
I personally highly recommend Star Trek Continues. Great series. It's not an exact replica of the original series but it does succeed in filling out the five year mission. There's plenty of surprises. It's not perfect, but we wouldn't want perfection. We want Trek. It keeps the dream of the Great Bird in the Galaxy alive. It's worth watching.
yes, Star Trek Continues not TOS, but it looks like someone watched TOS before designing sets, writing scripts, and dressing the actors, 200% improvement on all the stuff that came aster enterprise, enterprise got lot stick, a lot not deserved, the last couple of episodes, what happen, the ship just went missing is hola-deck, and trip dyeing in the lamest way, not even for plot device, but after that it was now hill all the way, but Continues, it way better, like they lisend to the fans or something
Honestly, if I ranked all TOS episodes and STC episodes together, most STC episodes would finish at least in the top 2/3rds of that combined list. That's an impressive accomplishment for a fan production.
So interesting video ! From my country I have watched Star Trek s episodes each evenings with joy and it was a pleasure to see the studio where it was filmed in reality, the guides were kind and had good and living explanations. Thank you for sharing
Adam the Woo, what an outstanding adventure of satisfying the Trekkie in all of us! I live in Georgia and never knew this place existed. These people have brought “Star Trek” back to life. Thanks to Greg’s Game Room and you for bringing us along!
I love Star Trek so very much, Love long and prosper!!!! Thanks for showing us this, Star Trek is my favorite and my life, I still watch it on TV on H&I which is Heros and Icons!!!! Have a great day and a great 2023!!!!
Memories! I used to watch the original with my dad. Thank you for taking us here. I loved hearing the background sounds and sights, including die-hard fans. Hearing the heart-filled stories of how lives have been touched. Super fun!
This was so incredible! I don’t know how this trip can ever be topped! My eyes are still sweaty! It was great meeting Chris and Vic and seeing the set! ❤
Adam, you did it again! I LOVE this vlog! Growing up in the seventies I was “forced” to watch Star Trek when my two brothers and father watched it on our only television set. I am a Star Wars girl, when star wars came out I was loving space stories. Even though I am a Star Wars girl, your vlog interested me greatly because it had to do with the background of the magic of television and took me back to my child hood. The only episode I really remember is the one with the tribbles. Thank you for entertaining us.
Good to see that genuine Star Trek lives on through the fans - even when all of the official stuff has been pretty much action-schlock ever since the reboot films came out.
Absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing this. So incredible, this is a dream come true for those of us who have been Trek fans all of our lives. I'm glad you got to go so we could see it!
Wow, I think this is my favorite video ever!. It makes me so happy as a life long Star Trek fan. Thank you! I only wish I could have been on the tour in person.
Seeing Nichelle Nicholes autograph Reminds me of the time I met her at the GRAIL launch. She signed autographs and when we got our turn she was AMAZING.. She sung to my friends daughter and she signed my DVD of Star Trek the motion picture.. I wish I had filmed it she was so nice and took her time with us. We never felt like we were being rushed.
This was too awesome, growing up with this show, amazing that you can actually walk onto this set, like Vic said did you ever imagine as a kid you would be able to be here….This is def on the bucket list…. 2 sets from childhood, this and the Falcon in Star Wars…already been to that one.
What a thrill it must have been to take this tour. I would have just been in awe. Bless those wonderful folks who came in costume or uniform. I'm so jealous of you, Adam lol Thanks for sharing this with this old Trekkie. 🖖
Adam, one of my favorite episodes you've produced. Brought back my childhood and having watched the Star Trek Continues You Tube series this was a full circle. Vic was excellent as Kirk. Professional and his passion shows in the details he has brought to reality. Thank you for the tour!
Love, love this experience! I was excited as you and Greg. I watched the original Star Trek when it first came out and remember how the ship was laid out. Thank you so much for sharing!
One of your finest videos Adam! Enjoyed it so much. This set was fantastic and it is so apparent that everyone on the crew of Star Trek Continues certainly put their heart and soul into this. I went and watched the first episode of Star Trek Continues on RUclips and I was amazed at how spot on accurate and entertaining it is… and is a faithful and wonderful continuation of the original series. Some of the best “new” Star Trek that I’ve seen in years. If you haven’t seen it… I highly recommend it! I will certainly be completing the entire series. 👍🏻🙂
About to turn 64... my parents were both school teachers and let us kids stay up to watch TOS because it was one of the more interesting and intelligent things on TV in the '60's. I'm pretty sure no one expected things to live on this long after only 3 seasons. I grew up in LA and Hollywood is nothing but a business. If it isn't making $, move on. Pretty clear this show transcended that from the beginning but no one understood that then. Anyway, thanks for the peek under the tent. God bless and live long & prosper!
This was AWESOME!! They did a study once on trek fans, did you know that the majority of trek fans are also Disney fans? At the time I thought that was a bit silly. After giving it some thought I realize that both Disney and Star Trek have one thing in common, "the promise of a better tomorrow". I was sad when this "fan" series was stopped. I am so glad you did this and we got to see it. Some day I hope I can see this in person, but for now I'm off to Disneyland in March!
Yes, some Disney vibes... But, Lucille Ball was instrumental in getting and keeping Star Trek on TV in 60s (yes, Lucy). And, both Universal Studios Theme Parks had a Star Trek bridge set (like this one). Using green screen, your family could be recorded as crew members to Kirk, Spock, etc. (c 1990) and you got the videocassette as memento!
That was awesome guys! Vic and his crew did such amazing work on Star Trek Continues. The Mrs. and I visited the Trek tour in Ticonderoga, and met James Cawley, aka Cpt. Kirk in the ST: Phase 2 episodes that were filmed there. Highly recommend it if you're up that way. Thanks for sharing!🖖🖖👍👍
This was so neat to watch - one of my oldest and dearest friends help build parts of that set, and married his bride on the bridge in a themed wedding. Thanks for sharing.
This is beyond cool! I've seen the episodes and they do a great job of recreating the originals. This was such a great video and wonderful place to visit. I'd love to get there someday. Thanks Adam! Live long and prosper! -Jon
Oh my God! That video was so good. I was living vicariously through you for over an hour. That's my childhood. I saw the original episodes. I was born in 55... I'm going to be on the phone tomorrow morning finding out how to make a reservation to take the tour. I live about 6 hours away in South Florida. I can't wait to see that place. The detail was spectacular. Still a huge fan today like all of us, and thanks for letting me know that it was there. I know that James Cawley has a place upstate New York but I certainly didn't know that this one was so close. God bless you guys for doing this. The one thing that I noticed and was surprised at was that the powers that be had no problem with the fans sitting in the chairs and touching the controls. I think they know the kind of reverence that people have for the show and nobody would ever intentionally hurt anything there. I want to sit in that chair. Thanks again. Steve
This video was so great I am 66 and I have been a Star Trek fan since I was 11-years-old. Star Trek has changed my life in so many great ways. I admire all of the actors, producers and creative staff of every series. For me Star Trek will live forever.
awesome....I want to say to Vic and all the rest of the ones involved, what a great job and a labor of love...I remember watching Balance of Terror years ago, and always wondering what happened after the crew got back to the enterprise and you guys did it perfectly with the episode Fairest of them all.....great job....
My jaw is on the ground you are so amazing to take us on the trip of a life time grew up watching the original series with my dad and brother so many memories I have tears in my eye I have met William Shatner and George Taki they were awesome bucket list item to do great great video ❤️🇨🇦
Adam - A final update. We went on a Neutral Zone tour yesterday and it exceeded expectations. Thanks again for making us aware of its presence and the one in NY too. Live long and Prosper🖖
Adam I have watched you for a few years and have loved just about everything you have done but this one brought me to tears. Some of my first memories were of watching Star Trek with my Dad. I watched reruns and all the DVD's in order. This was the series that showed me what our future could be. Where women were just as cable as men and people of all colors could co-exist. When I moved to Vegas one of the first things I did was go to the Star Trek experience.
Great video Adam, I've been a Star Trek fan since '68, "The Gamesters of Triskelion". I've also been a fan of Star Trek Continues since their first show almost ten years ago, "Pilgrim of Eternity". Vic Mignogna is a top-tier Trekkie. Thanks for a look at the sets, keep the videos coming, I always enjoy them.
Thanks for the video. So far I had the pleasure to visit the studios twice, first time in 2011 together with the crew of the USS Haven and second time in 2018 with my friend Rick from St. Cloud, FL.
Adam, thank you for sharing another great video. As I approach 57 years old, I’m challenged with many negatives in my life. As we all live thru you vicariously, your positive outlook on a daily basis is therapeutic and uplifted. Your parents did a great job of raising you. Thank you for making us laugh and smile.
Adam is awesome.
So true with me at 60.....
Completely agree
@@markandrews2942 I got another birthday next month, I'm staying zipped 😁

92? Holy moly. That means we only have about 4-8 years left with him.

I love Star Trek Continues, it has great production values like the original, Vic and Chris were great in it, I wished there were more episodes.
There would have been a few more episodes to finish the season of STC but for the fallout from the Prelude to Axanar debacle.
The details are unbelievable. Pretty mind blowing
Vic, Chris, Grant 🙏 RIP, everyone who worked on this project did incredible work putting this production together.
@@phillosophy3925 grant imahara did in 2020, he was known for his time on mythbusters and he played sulu on star trek continues

Very much so
I know right I'm trying to find this place to get tickets for a tour but can't find anything on it. 😭
...when you were all on the bridge interacting and we could hear the Enterprise in the background...
Music to my ears! Thank you from Seattle ♥️
Just think of the impact these shows and movies will have in a few thousand years. Thanks for putting this video up!
This is amazing! Startrek has always been the feel good nostalgia show for me. I still watch TOS, TNG and Voyager daily on Prime Video 😊

Honestly, if I ranked all TOS episodes and STC episodes together, most STC episodes would finish at least in the top 2/3rds of that combined list. That's an impressive accomplishment for a fan production.
So interesting video ! From my country I have watched Star Trek s episodes each evenings with joy and it was a pleasure to see the studio where it was filmed in reality, the guides were kind and had good and living explanations. Thank you for sharing
Adam the Woo, what an outstanding adventure of satisfying the Trekkie in all of us! I live in Georgia and never knew this place existed. These people have brought “Star Trek” back to life. Thanks to Greg’s Game Room and you for bringing us along!
Wow! I was completely unaware of this place. Now, I have to see it with "my own eyes"! :)
I love Star Trek so very much, Love long and prosper!!!! Thanks for showing us this, Star Trek is my favorite and my life, I still watch it on TV on H&I which is Heros and Icons!!!! Have a great day and a great 2023!!!!
18:22 Grant Imahara. Respect. Rest in Peace, Robot man.
Memories! I used to watch the original with my dad. Thank you for taking us here. I loved hearing the background sounds and sights, including die-hard fans. Hearing the heart-filled stories of how lives have been touched. Super fun!
Absolutely loved the behind the scene functionality! Excellent presentation!
that was a fun vlog tour, now my hubby Storyteller Dony wants to take that tour, he loved Star Trek, he grew up on it
This was so incredible! I don’t know how this trip can ever be topped! My eyes are still sweaty! It was great meeting Chris and Vic and seeing the set! ❤
Just…. Omg!❤
Glad you got to go man! Excellent experience
Dude it was great
Adam, you did it again! I LOVE this vlog! Growing up in the seventies I was “forced” to watch Star Trek when my two brothers and father watched it on our only television set. I am a Star Wars girl, when star wars came out I was loving space stories. Even though I am a Star Wars girl, your vlog interested me greatly because it had to do with the background of the magic of television and took me back to my child hood. The only episode I really remember is the one with the tribbles. Thank you for entertaining us.
Good to see that genuine Star Trek lives on through the fans - even when all of the official stuff has been pretty much action-schlock ever since the reboot films came out.
Awesome!! Reliving my childhood. This is definitely on my bucket list. I need to go there. Thank you for this. Big fans Veronica and Todd
This was so enjoyable, and interesting. The dedication of those behind it is so obvious. Thanks for taking us along... 'Beam us up, Adam.' 👏 BRAVO
Best video ever Adam. This would be a dream come true. Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful piece of fantasy with fellow Trekkers🖖
I am not remotely a Star Trek fan, but that location was absolutely amazing. Well done to those folks.
Absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing this. So incredible, this is a dream come true for those of us who have been Trek fans all of our lives. I'm glad you got to go so we could see it!
Thank you thank you thank you Adam! What a wonderful surprise this vlog was. Live long and prosper…
Absolutely awesome!! Thanks for this journey back in time. Star Trek was always on in our house.
In my neighborhood! Glad you liked it.
Wow, I think this is my favorite video ever!. It makes me so happy as a life long Star Trek fan. Thank you! I only wish I could have been on the tour in person.
Seeing Nichelle Nicholes autograph Reminds me of the time I met her at the GRAIL launch. She signed autographs and when we got our turn she was AMAZING.. She sung to my friends daughter and she signed my DVD of Star Trek the motion picture.. I wish I had filmed it she was so nice and took her time with us. We never felt like we were being rushed.
Love the sound effects/beeping coming from the bridge….brings back memories💫
I have just been rewatching Star Trek Continues - they did such a good job!
This was a great watch, Adam. Loved this show since I was little. Thanks for sharing.
A+++++++++ video! Thank you so much for taking us along. Loved it!
This was too awesome, growing up with this show, amazing that you can actually walk onto this set, like Vic said did you ever imagine as a kid you would be able to be here….This is def on the bucket list…. 2 sets from childhood, this and the Falcon in Star Wars…already been to that one.
Star Trek Continues is actual a really good show. All episodes are free on RUclips. Very faithful to the original.
ADAM ! Love this one, Thank You so much for covering this amazing place !!! STAR TREK was the Best of the Best part of our childhood !! :)
This makes my lil Trekkie heart happy 🖤 so glad you got to experience this 🖖🏻
What a thrill it must have been to take this tour. I would have just been in awe. Bless those wonderful folks who came in costume or uniform. I'm so jealous of you, Adam lol Thanks for sharing this with this old Trekkie. 🖖
As a true fan, I really loved this episode. I loved every second of it. Like I was there too.
Adam, one of my favorite episodes you've produced. Brought back my childhood and having watched the Star Trek Continues You Tube series this was a full circle. Vic was excellent as Kirk. Professional and his passion shows in the details he has brought to reality. Thank you for the tour!
Love, love this experience! I was excited as you and Greg. I watched the original Star Trek when it first came out and remember how the ship was laid out. Thank you so much for sharing!
One of your finest videos Adam! Enjoyed it so much. This set was fantastic and it is so apparent that everyone on the crew of Star Trek Continues certainly put their heart and soul into this. I went and watched the first episode of Star Trek Continues on RUclips and I was amazed at how spot on accurate and entertaining it is… and is a faithful and wonderful continuation of the original series. Some of the best “new” Star Trek that I’ve seen in years. If you haven’t seen it… I highly recommend it! I will certainly be completing the entire series. 👍🏻🙂
Star Trek Continues was so good that Paramount made them stop because their new Trek paled in comparison.
About to turn 64... my parents were both school teachers and let us kids stay up to watch TOS because it was one of the more interesting and intelligent things on TV in the '60's. I'm pretty sure no one expected things to live on this long after only 3 seasons. I grew up in LA and Hollywood is nothing but a business. If it isn't making $, move on. Pretty clear this show transcended that from the beginning but no one understood that then. Anyway, thanks for the peek under the tent. God bless and live long & prosper!
Super cool video. One of your best, Woo-ster. Thank you taking us along. It's appreciated..
You guys are awesome for the way you have brought this to us. You covered everything I wanted to see.:)
This was AWESOME!! They did a study once on trek fans, did you know that the majority of trek fans are also Disney fans? At the time I thought that was a bit silly. After giving it some thought I realize that both Disney and Star Trek have one thing in common, "the promise of a better tomorrow". I was sad when this "fan" series was stopped. I am so glad you did this and we got to see it. Some day I hope I can see this in person, but for now I'm off to Disneyland in March!
Yes, some Disney vibes... But, Lucille Ball was instrumental in getting and keeping Star Trek on TV in 60s (yes, Lucy). And, both Universal Studios Theme Parks had a Star Trek bridge set (like this one). Using green screen, your family could be recorded as crew members to Kirk, Spock, etc. (c 1990) and you got the videocassette as memento!
That was awesome guys! Vic and his crew did such amazing work on Star Trek Continues. The Mrs. and I visited the Trek tour in Ticonderoga, and met James Cawley, aka Cpt. Kirk in the ST: Phase 2 episodes that were filmed there. Highly recommend it if you're up that way.
Thanks for sharing!🖖🖖👍👍
The one in NY looks cool, but they won't let you film inside. Plus Kingsland was a lot closer to Orlando than Ticonderoga!
@@GregsGameRoom We're in MA, so it was closer for us. Definitely want to check out Kingsland next time we're in FLA. Thanks again!
I took lots of pictures when I visited The Star Trek Original Series Set Tour during Christmas Break 2018.
@@SeansModelBuilds - Pictures, but NO video. Can't do a daily vlog with pictures.
@@GregsVlog Narrated Picture slideshow is what I will have to do when I post it to my Travel Channel.
Thank you for doing this. It means a lot to us fans who can't actually go in person for various reasons.
This was so neat to watch - one of my oldest and dearest friends help build parts of that set, and married his bride on the bridge in a themed wedding. Thanks for sharing.
This is beyond cool! I've seen the episodes and they do a great job of recreating the originals. This was such a great video and wonderful place to visit. I'd love to get there someday. Thanks Adam!
Live long and prosper!

Oh my God! That video was so good. I was living vicariously through you for over an hour. That's my childhood. I saw the original episodes. I was born in 55... I'm going to be on the phone tomorrow morning finding out how to make a reservation to take the tour. I live about 6 hours away in South Florida. I can't wait to see that place. The detail was spectacular. Still a huge fan today like all of us, and thanks for letting me know that it was there. I know that James Cawley has a place upstate New York but I certainly didn't know that this one was so close. God bless you guys for doing this. The one thing that I noticed and was surprised at was that the powers that be had no problem with the fans sitting in the chairs and touching the controls. I think they know the kind of reverence that people have for the show and nobody would ever intentionally hurt anything there. I want to sit in that chair. Thanks again. Steve
Excited that the word is getting out for this set! It’s amazing and needs to be preserved! Hope you go soon!
Thanks for all your patience w the fans !! So awesome seeing the Enterprise!!!! 🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️!!!
This video was so great I am 66 and I have been a Star Trek fan since I was 11-years-old. Star Trek has changed my life in so many great ways. I admire all of the actors, producers and creative staff of every series. For me Star Trek will live forever.
awesome....I want to say to Vic and all the rest of the ones involved, what a great job and a labor of love...I remember watching Balance of Terror years ago, and always wondering what happened after the crew got back to the enterprise and you guys did it perfectly with the episode Fairest of them all.....great job....
My jaw is on the ground you are so amazing to take us on the trip of a life time grew up watching the original series with my dad and brother so many memories I have tears in my eye I have met William Shatner and George Taki they were awesome bucket list item to do great great video ❤️🇨🇦
Adam - A final update. We went on a Neutral Zone tour yesterday and it exceeded expectations. Thanks again for making us aware of its presence and the one in NY too. Live long and Prosper🖖
Yay! Glad you enjoyed it!
Adam I have watched you for a few years and have loved just about everything you have done but this one brought me to tears. Some of my first memories were of watching Star Trek with my Dad. I watched reruns and all the DVD's in order. This was the series that showed me what our future could be. Where women were just as cable as men and people of all colors could co-exist. When I moved to Vegas one of the first things I did was go to the Star Trek experience.
Great video Adam, I've been a Star Trek fan since '68, "The Gamesters of Triskelion". I've also been a fan of Star Trek Continues since their first show almost ten years ago, "Pilgrim of Eternity". Vic Mignogna is a top-tier Trekkie. Thanks for a look at the sets, keep the videos coming, I always enjoy them.
You win 100 quatloos for this comment!
Adam, thankyou THANKYOU for this tour!! I’ve been watching you for years, and this is my favorite of your vids. Bravo!! 💙
This was such a fun video. Thank you for sharing this with us! Great job Adam!
I think I might play some Star Trek games today. What an amazing adventure!
So awesome man !
Wow. These Star Trek episodes are amazing. They are on RUclips. Great job ATW 😎
Thanks for the video. So far I had the pleasure to visit the studios twice, first time in 2011 together with the crew of the USS Haven and second time in 2018 with my friend Rick from St. Cloud, FL.
Adam thank you! This 69 yr old lady remembers watching TOS when it first ran. I love hearing the sounds! Awesome!
This place is so amazing!!! I had no idea such a place existed, thank you for sharing !
This is amazing! And what a coincidence that I just subscribed to Paramount Plus yesterday so that I can watch TOS.
