@@racheljackson4428 that has to be one of my fav videos of Defunctland, not only covered an obscure ride it had some of the funniest bits from the channel
Hey! I remember seeing video on tourist attraction with theme that it was holding "trophies" of monster hunters. I mean "taxidermied heads of werewolf, ogre and so on. taxidermied grendel, juvenile kraken and skeleton of a dragon, stuff like that. Does this ring any bells with anyone here? I tried to look it up but I don't even know what state it is located if its even around anymore.
A park needs to make a 5 night's at Freddy's dark ride where there is a fake power outage right after a short happy section. It would be the best dark ride of all time!
The fact Carpetbagger had to use a flashlight to even see in the Jurassic boat ride is literally sending chills down my spine, imagine hearing all the hydraulics and squeaky hinges in near total darkness knowing that some horrible dilapidated dinosaurs are lurking in the shadows, GEE-ZUS
Even props meant to go in water deteriorate extra fast (like Jurassic park or the old jaws ride at universal) it’s more “don’t puts props in water if you don’t have an infinite bank account to constantly fix them”
When I was a kid on the ET ride, they would have employees type down everyone in the group's names, and at the very end, ET would say "goodbye, ___" (if your name was a common one.) Hearing him croak my name with the syllables all drawn out was..an experience. Also, one of my favorite memories of that ride was hearing an exasperated employee tell someone behind me "No, you can't have Joe Mama as your name. Please pick something else."
That part with slow sliding Wags reminds me of a vine/short of a person going slowly down a slide, it read on the bottom “I had fun once, it was awful.” (Or something like that title)
I'm so glad you mentioned the knockoff Creature on the Jurassic Jungle Boat Ride; I was the one who identified it! (Albeit on a now-deactivated Reddit account, but IIRC I have a YT comment doing it as well.) I saw The Creature in person at a local fair, and recognized it immediately in tiny knockoff form. I got into contact with the manufacturers and they said it wasn't their work, either!
There's so much untapped potential for cool creepy dark rides in a lot of franchises. Like imagine a silent hill or Half Life dark ride, or even fallout, especially the first two games. A portal 2 themed dark ride would probably work really well
Oh I would give my left kidney for a good Silent Hill themed dark ride. Could you imagine hearing sirens and getting billowed in fog while the ride vehicle lurches into the darkness? Into a drop, into a room full of human faced bugs before some abomination of a twisted humanoid creature lunges from the darkness at you? Hearing Pyramid Head scrape his great knife behind your car, and the next scene you veer away from him trying to slice you with it over his head? Making it out unscathed to see a sign that reads "Now Leaving Silent Hill" as you roll into the station?
I'd do ungodly things for more videogame-inspired theme park rides, especially dark rides. Silent Hill is a big one, but Resident Evil? The potential for a mansion ride-through is so good.
As someone who rode the Hollywood Tour in Phantasialand more than once I can confirm that it smelled very bad. Each time you rode it you could see it decay more and more. That big spider is from the movie "Tarantula" that's why it's in the desert. There also was a scene dedicated to Hitchcocks "The Birds", which was later turned into that strange Wizard of Oz scene. On my first ride ever the ride broke down while we were at the King Kong scene and we had to hop from one boat to another till a staff member led us out of the ride through several backrooms. That attraction was wild.
There actually was a book called "E.T.: Book of the Green Planet" published in 1985 that takes place on Brodo Asogi (as it's named in the Star Wars extended universe.) It seems that was really where most of the ride drew its inspiration.
@@SchnarphStudiosI knew that E.T.'s species had representatives in the Galactic Senate, but I would've thought that cameo would be it and there wouldn't be any books or comics that actually name the planet.
It’s always a little disappointing when rides get infamous for being dilapidated and people want to come see it so the park restores it and takes away the deterioration charm lol
Delapidated, or just Dark Rides with a story that breaks the fourth wall that it's the story told in a dark ride, are dark rides that'll still be fun, they allow for attractions that don't seem right, and that gives the dark ride attention, giving the whole park featuring the dark ride attention.
That Big Red Car ride is a lot like slowly remembering a traumatic event from your toddlerhood, but you just can't quite grasp what the trauma actually was.
I actually had a dream about the Big Red Car Ride after watching a ride through. Then years later Defunctland finally made a video about it and it was exactly like my dream. It creeps me out, it's like a liminal space thing.
ive never been afraid of animatronics or park rides before but this video really did fill me with dread. if i saw some of these irl i would actually be so freaked
Dark rides have always been inherently creepy to me especially with germaphobia, but the promise of art and robots usually overpowers the fear. These would traumatize me 😂
I went to Oakwood on a school trip in the 2010s The Br’er rabbit ride at the time had failed completely, and I was tramitized in the ‘spinning rabbit room’ as their laughter has turned into a mechanical mess of screeching and wailing. The lights also flickered in there. when I was off the ride I needed a moment
Oakwood has always been followed by misfortune it seems. Besides the fact that a teenager literally DIED after falling from that one Hydro ride, I remember visiting around 2014/15, and not even an hour into our arrival the entire park lost power somehow and everyone had to leave 💀 iirc figuring out ticket refunds was also a gargantuan pain in the ass
i actually got stuck on the phantasialand hollywood tour once, and they had to evacuate us out of the boats. there were only a few people in the boat at the time, and we sat in a dark tunnel between the tarzan scene and the previous one, watching the jetski ape and the animatronics mechanically repeat everything for about 15min, wich was even more unsetteling. they evacuated us through a maintenance exit and we got a look behind the scenes. the staff seemed kind of used to the procedure, and we got single-use fastpass tickets as compensation, wich they had already prepared. crazy experience overall :D
eah happend very often in it's last years. I had the same expeience rigth after the Sindbad/before the Frankenstein scene. Was cool having a look behind the scenes and I am a litte sad the attraction is gone. sadly I bet the time is ticking for Geister Rikscha also...
weird-ass dark rides my beloved 💕 i honestly loved the E.T. ride as a kid, it was one of the few rides that DIDN'T freak me out back in the day-- surreal imagery has always been weirdly comforting for me. all the funky aliens were really cool to me but my mom was unsettled 😂 i have a lot of respect for the pigeon forge dinosaur ride even if the thought of actually riding it makes me wanna barf-- i have a very specific fear of very large and very loud animatronics lol. but the fact that it's a small passion project done for the love of it and that it's been up and running for so long...i just think that's neat!
@paranormalpredicaments4686 Speaking from experience, nah, it's just as chill as before. Also it has a really distinct smell that just kind of takes you back
I rode the Pigeon Forge Jurrasic Park ride in 2009 or 10. We were the only ones on the ride. It was...awesomely sad. Thanks for uploading the Carpetbagger's ride. I love Jacob, as well.
im so glad you gave monster mansion a shout-out! it came to mind immediately when i saw your video's title. ahhhh the whimsy of the reconstruction era South
The woman with the sexy back that turns around and is a decaying corpse is apparently an old stock carnival haunted house scare. I remember seeing a vintage one in an antique store on Melrose Ave in California in the 90s.
Holy crap! You referenced the haunted ride at Belles in Tulsa. That ride messed me up as a little kid back in the 80's. Between that and Large Marge in Pee Wee's Big Adventure that summer, I was horrified to leave my room.
The Jurassic Boat ride is special. The dilapidated dinos made it extra terrifying, for sure! I love that it’s a standalone attraction on the roadside in pigeon forge. I wish there were more roadside dark rides around the us! I’d be so interested to know the financial struggles of a business like that. An interview with the owner or manager of that ride would be fascinating.
At 13:09 the line, "Truly the perfect imitation of a Dollar Store toy with low batteries after being left out in the rain." Adding the "left out in the rain." made me chortle. I wonder why nobody uses chortle anymore as a descriptor for laughter, same for snicker or sniggle. Like, "I chortled gleefully and made beer go up my nose causing a wave of snickering and not just a few sniggles to erupt throughout my section of the restaurant." My wife on the other hand was mortified and acted in a most discombobulated manner that had me guffawing so much I set the restaurant goers chortling anew." Sounds okay to me.
This is the first time I ever watched your channel and believe or not, I made the above comment before I knew you read some at the end of your videos. New Subscriber.
Fun Fact: The figure seen in horror house is most likely not the same prop seen in Phantasmgoria. The prop (along with others such as the buzzard, green lady, and hanging skeleton) were taken to Ocean City to be used in their Haunted House after they bought the props off of someone who used to work at Bell's. Some were relocated to new places in the ride, and I can't find the prop of her anywhere (she was by the giant devil on the second floor last I saw) so perhaps this is the same prop, but I doubt it since they have differences such as hair. It would also be crazy to ship a single prop all the way to China as well. Edit: I researched the footage of the Ghost Train and Trimper's and I can confirm that the prop in the dark ride at China is NOT the same as Trimper's. The footage of the ride was 9 years ago, but footage from 5 shows her by the devil at Trimper's. So either she went to China sometime before Phantasmoria shut down and returned to the U.S. in 2011 (where photos show off her and the green lady), the prop was from another Tracy attraction, or the most likely answer: she was a horror prop from some kind of catalogue that made the same model.
I rode Phantasmagoria many times in the later years. I looked up some old videos of that prop, then saw the uncensored video from the one in China, and I think you're right. It's the same gag, but there are differences, not just that she was wearing bottoms and had longer hair in Phantasmagoria. The back seems more plastic and shiny with the China version, while Phantasmagoria's looks more real.
@@OklahomaCoasterFan Exactly. Most likely is some kind of catalogue prop. Tracy probably saw it when he trying to find a replacement stunt for a broken one (I heard that the owners would trash old ones for newer ones if they were to break), bought it to fill the empty spot on Phantasmagoria, painted it with his classic Day-Glo paint, and set it up in the attraction. In fact, some props from Phantasmagoria seem a little too advanced for what Tracy worked with: wood, papier mache, and metal wire fence. Comparing props from the Whacky Shack, which is a sister attraction to Phantasmagoria, the props look more company bought than handmade (besides the opening day stunts of course). The Green Lady and the Bikini Lady probably were bought from some company when they needed new stunts in a pinch.
As a fnaf fan. When i heared "The bite of 87.....million BC" It jumpscared me just hearing that. I wouldnt have expected a fnaf refrance in a theme park darkride video on a rollercoaster channel out of all places. That was fucking epic!
the phantasialand ride actually used to be a childhood fav of mine lmao, I've basically seen it decay over the years. the wizard of ozz section actually used to be a section based on ''the birds'' also can confirm that it smells musty af in there. i rode it the last year before it shut down
as a german i'm always happy when phantasialands hollywood boat ride is mentioned. Ridden it once as a kid and since i have arachnophobia saying driving directly underneath the spider scared the heck outta me is quite the understatement
While yes, I agree that flooded mines is a little creepy, I’m pretty used to it’s old times charm because I grew up going to SDC and I find it to have something that I don’t get out of other water rides.
I was already excited to see some spooky dark rides, and realizing The Big Red Car ride was included made it even better. (I only know about it from the Defunctland video) Love your analogue horror filter, and the spot-on deadpan humor in every video.
I went on the big red car all the time when i was younger at dream world, but now when i walk past there i dont even want to look. Its THAT UNSETTLING in person
It’s still baffling that Mine of Lost Souls is on here. It’s definitely an entertaining and interesting ride but disturbing would’ve been the last thing I’d call it.
The way you said no comment a5 yhe witch in the bikini made me laugh so hard for some reason. Something about your nonchalant delivery is so amusing to me. Also i love that it basically looks like they took a prop witch head and glues it to a clothes mannequin. Lol Also the makeup carrots are super freaky hehe
My child hood was spent in oakwood that brer rabbit ride was my fav looking back at it now god it was terrifying no wonder why I grew up loving scary rides after that I would go on it every time you had a photo at the end and it started with a shadow of a guy in a rocking chair telling you about the party and giving you an invite I would still ride it today if it was open
You definitely have to do a small story about Willy's Chocolate Experience. It was kind of considered a theme area that actually was a rip off. It would be great to see if you discover anymore about it then what's already been said.
Soft spot in my hear for the E.T. ride, but the others were creepy af!!! The Atlantis ride at Sea World Fl should've made the list too. Can you consider reviewing peoples' backyard roller coasters and haunted houses/dark rides? I've seen some amazing ones.
Back when I first rode E.T. in Orlando, I remember actually ducking to avoid the water from the water alien scene. For some reason, I was so horrified of the concept of water that even slightly touched those creepy animatronics that I tried to hide. From water.
Seeing canobie lake park's dark ride gave me whiplash, me and my friends have so many inside jokes about that ride... "Turn baaaack... Too lateeee" it cracks us up! Fun to see something local to me on one of these
I've seen the effect of the naked woman before in an Italian ghost train. Seems like there is just a manufacturer that builds those kinds of scenes. I was always fascinated with animatronics and dark rides as a kid (still am) but incredibly scared of puppets and dolls at the same time. So dark rides where always a big 'gulp' moment for me. The one that freaked me out the most as a kid was Sagenhafte Schwarzwaldbahn at Germany's Steinwasenpark. Idk man but it was eerie and even ended in a visit to hell Also, you show Brer Rabbits Burrow being removed, but that isn't the ride, its on the right with the big endless tunnel
The jurassic boat ride in pigeon forge is my favorite disaster. Its tradition to ride it every time we go there. Tales of the Okefenoke's sound track legit slapped though. The queue song is great. Sad i never got to ride the glorious nightmare
Since the current owner is rumored to be building condos where the remains of the park is, maybe another park can take this two-of-a-kind ride under its wing if it goes up for sale!
@@Thatsomethingfan1976 Unfortunately, the new owner is a scumbag AND an idiot, because he's just trashed everything so far. IDK why he didn't sell off any of the rides at least
Dark creepy rides are the best! what would be cool get a bunch of beet up rock afire explosion animatronics chucky cheese and anything old school have a scarry pizza ride with the animatronics scarring you something way more intense than five nights at Freddy's , that would be one hell of a scarry dark ride! animatronics are scarry no matter if they working or not they just are nightmare fuel!!! great work
no mention of blazing inferno at dollywood? dark flume ride in a burning coal mine fire? the most terrifyingly awesome ride ever, and it has a sudden blind drop into water. so good.
"Idk...somethings just don't have answers"... And "yassssified vegetables" lol love the sass sir... you create some really great content with really good funny narration..quite enjoyable... I'm def a fan of your channel...
There actually was kind of an infamous gum wall at Disneyland many years ago. Before Star Tours there was a ride in the same location called Journey to Innerspace. It was my favorite ride there when I was little. There was a giant snowflake where teens would deposit their gum when they took a break from making out in the very dark ride. The gum was quite visible though.
The dark ride at Conneaut was used in their haunted house (at least it was like over 12 years ago.) It was a walk-through. So kinda dangerous because the scare factor of it was just...it's dark? So we were walking along the side of the wall trying not to slip down into the tracked area. My uncle pulled out a lighter and so many people cheered him on for using it. Lol. The scariest part was trying not to touch the walls and fall. I don't know who signed off on that idea.
Great list, combining rides that are intentionally scary and unintentional ones. This could easily become a series of videos. PD: wasn't Terra Mítica's the labyrinth of the minotaur originally in the list for voting, or did I just had a weird dream a bout it?
@@ThemeParkCrazy oh okay, thanks for answering and confirming I'm not going crazy. A little sad to hear that honestly, that ride started my obsession with dark rides and theme parks in general, but still like the final list. As I said before great list and great video
I rode the Jurassic Boat Ride around 2009- 2010 and I have a soft spot for it. I went to the Dinosaur Walk museum that was right down the road before I tried this ride, but that location has since closed. I thought it was pretty great there was a stand alone Dinosaur themed ride basically neighboring that museum, and we caught it in view as we were leaving the town. There was a small gathering of people waiting to ride it (not the mannequins of course), enough that each family got their own boat with barely any wait time. So, it was overall hauntingly empty. Even in the dim light, the animatronics' condition wasn't nearly as bad- especially the broken jawed T.Rex. Looking at what it looked like in the video since I last saw it in person, it gives me the impression of a dinosaur that had an infected, rotting jaw- which is honestly even more unsettling. I definitely remember the big coiling snake too- I found that one pretty interesting and was wondering if I'd ever see 'the head' of it later in the ride. I think I remember the Allosaurus head functioning, and the sounds were definitely better quality. I'm happy to see that it got an upgrade over time though, even if the dilapidated animatronics have a special charm :) There's no other ride quite like it- once you experience it, you don't forget it- even if your opinion after riding it isn't positive. I'd visit and ride it a second time if I were ever in the area again. I always enjoy when this ride gets mentioned in videos like these.
I've been on Devil's Den so many times!!! My family comes from the area around the park, and my mom and grandparents both worked at the park when they were younger. I remember loving the actual interior of the ride, but HATED the gum wall. My cousins would always try and stick their gum on it, and I would start squirming just looking at it. I really hope the attraction does get to stay. With everything at the park closing, a lot of the town's history seems to be vanishing with it too. The rollercoaster at that park, The Blue Streak, was my favorite. I apparently broke the park record by riding it 66 times in ONE DAY back when I was 15 or so. And that was before the ride had actual seatbelts- it was only a single lapbar! My aunt's company helped demolish the rollercoaster after it was set on fire, and she managed to get a small piece of it and send it to me, which I know keep as a souvenir. Just the mention of that park or any of the rides in it make me a little choked up, knowing how important it was to my family and my own childhood.
Dude that is so cool. I wish I could have somehow snagged a piece of Blue Streak. That was my first "big coaster" back in the late 80s. My family, and the neighbor family would always go there a few times a year. I used to love that ride. Even though it was rough as hell. Last got to ride it in the summer of 19. I miss that place actually.
@@Spike-sk7ql I think it was my first coaster too!! I still remember that big bump to the side right as you turned to go into the small bunny hops. We won't see a ride like that ever again, that's for sure 😅
My Grandparents lived about 45 minutes away from Conneaut Lake Park. We went every summer with the cousins rode Devils Den many times. My Mom’s Senior Class trip was there in 1962, my Grandma talked about the Dance Hall. One summer they had a new water slide, scariest thing I did as a kid. It was a roller slide sat on a hard plastic slide used to roll down the rollers into the lake. The roller we’re like the ones used to move packages lol.
SDC MENTIONED RAHHH 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 WHERE TF ARE FLANDERS PANTS All jokes aside, I love these lists! They always scratch a special itch in my brain and send me down a rabbit hole of watching dark ride videos and researching them whenever I come across one. Dunno how I haven’t subscribed until now but better late than never! Also as an avid SDC fan/passholder (if that wasn’t already glaringly obvious), I always think of your videos whenever I pass that particular animatronic on Flooded Mine. Speaking of, I had my first SDC visit of the season the other day, and I noticed that they gave the ride some love in the off season! Several effects that haven’t been working properly for years have been fixed, they added some nice new lighting effects, they fixed up the guns a bit, etc. I just really appreciate that and thought that I’d mention it! Lol sorry I’m rambling at this point, keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing this video, woah definitely some creepy vibes in some of these dark rides it is sad when animatronics are just left to Rot like that especially in water I bet the smell would be vile mould etc ewww I think that rides need to update & repair any or all of there animatronics it's sad I'm glad Jacob did a video on the dinosaur dark ride it was sad it see so many in bad condition & in need of disrepair if that ride wants to remain open then they need to restore & recycle there animatronics it would be creepy seeing a t rex with his jaw hanging by some wires this dark ride will really lose business until they start improving there dark ride animatronics properly I miss the air gun game where you shoot targets & things would spin etc & make you laugh the western scene I remember playing was fun.
Went on the link to see the part of the ride you ‘couldn’t show’ and it was the most tamest thing ever 🙄 content creators sacrificing content so they don’t get told off by the content police
This is amazing! If you do a follow up, I would recommend the castle dark ride in holiday park in Germany. That one is deeply concerning, especially the medieval dungeon part. Also, Home, the naked woman animatronic that spins around and is revealed to be a skeleton was in multiple carnival dark rides here in the US, but after parents complain to the first painted them to have bikinis, and then eventually removed them all together
The one at Holiday Park has been re-themed to (I think) Tabaluga now. It is no longer the iconic medieval ride it used to be. But he wouldn't be able to show all of it here as well - it did contain one animatronic woman who "accidentally" went topless for a few seconds when someone pulled on a piece of cloth she had wrapped around the body. But with this being Germany, hardly anyone gave a flying youknowwhat. 😂
@@Colaholiker what confuses me is that that one has been filmed in it’s on RUclips with absolutely no issue same thing with the German word flume that has naked women statues in the fountain of youth and those have been allowed to remain up, so why would someone reviewing it have issues showing that?
@@wolfpackgaming1383Maybe it has to do with monetization. You *can* show it, but then you don't get paid? I don't know, I don't have videos on here, but that's one possible explanation.

I'm from Germany and Loved the Hollywood Tour Ride in Phantasialand when i was younger, i'm glad i got to ride it one Last time in 2018 before they shut it down in 2020. The giant spider in the Western Scene was an homage to Tarantula, a 1955 horror movie that's meant to take place in Desert Rock Arizona.
Dollywood in Pigeon Forge TN used to be Silver Dollar City. I remember going through it and The Blazing Fury as a kid back in the 80s and 90s. Both were awesome and creepy!
From Tulsa rode the phantasmagoria in the 90s, thanks for bringing that horrifying experience back to the front of my mind. Not a super long rode but it's scares where legitimately scary if youre the type that lets yourself enjoy being scared
Oh, wow, I don’t live far from Oakwood, and I did NOT expect to see it on this list! Beer Rabbit was a creepy ride, indeed. It’s not there now, though, Oakwood’s had a Peter Pan makeover now! Thanks for including it! 👏👏👏
I was going to mention the Hollywood ride in phantasialand! But you covered it. I visited the park years ago and we decided to try this ride. There was no queu which was a first and everything looked crummy and run down. The waterskiing ape reeked of mold and the creepiest thing was the fairy lady animatronic because the paint was chipped off.

There's a Defunctland video on The Big Red Car Ride and it really delves into the history of The Wiggles as well as Dreamworld. i highly recommend it.

Yeah! I went there a couple years ago and it was awful. Like not me crying when I was on it-
@@lpj-g3v He's the best! What a great channel.
I feel like an important lesson to be taken from this video is "Don't put props in water if they aren't specifically designed to hold up in water."
Exactly
it'll always unsettle me, knowing they're rotting and falling apart
Even props meant to go in water deteriorate extra fast (like Jurassic park or the old jaws ride at universal) it’s more “don’t puts props in water if you don’t have an infinite bank account to constantly fix them”
It freaks me out so much dude I have panic attacks
@@HopePapernacky Do you go on Disney water rides lol?
Not the yassified Okefenokee singing carrots 😭😭
Noooooooose
They predicted the gimme my lime trend
I gotta recreate Tales Of The Okefenokee ride in Minecraft. I can use animal addons for most animatronics, but for the crows, replaced with parrots.
🥕👁️👄👁️🥕
Idk I might make the yassified carrots as a drawing
When I was a kid on the ET ride, they would have employees type down everyone in the group's names, and at the very end, ET would say "goodbye, ___" (if your name was a common one.) Hearing him croak my name with the syllables all drawn out was..an experience.
Also, one of my favorite memories of that ride was hearing an exasperated employee tell someone behind me "No, you can't have Joe Mama as your name. Please pick something else."
oh my god I never even thought about putting Joe Mama as my name- THE YEARS IVE WASTED.
awesome name and profile picture
My family put our names as family guy characters and it was hilarious 😂
my family all gives the name steve
God I can imagine how many Seymour Butts they got... that would get annoying very quickly lol
That Big Red Car ride is the most unpleasantly liminal location I've seen in real life.
the dr seuss ride at universal is just as liminal. looks exactly the same. Super scary.
Chill, and comforting💕
The cat and the hat animatronics tho
TOOT TOOT CHUGGA CHUGGA BIG RED CAR

"Most unintentionally creepy family ride" implies the existence of an intentionally creepy family ride, and I'd love to see that
I guess that'd be stuff like Haunted Mansion or Pirates of the Caribbean.
@@TriforceWisdom64 pirates is only creepy for one part tho

Oooh ooh oga booga ooh booga booga!? (Was that the bite of 87!?)
I can confirm that Big Red Car was VERY creepy. Wags the Dog moving down the slide in that frozen position always freaked me out!
*That* dark ride, just needs more statues to express each character, then the dark ride will be good again💕
That part with slow sliding Wags reminds me of a vine/short of a person going slowly down a slide, it read on the bottom “I had fun once, it was awful.”

I'm so glad you mentioned the knockoff Creature on the Jurassic Jungle Boat Ride; I was the one who identified it! (Albeit on a now-deactivated Reddit account, but IIRC I have a YT comment doing it as well.) I saw The Creature in person at a local fair, and recognized it immediately in tiny knockoff form. I got into contact with the manufacturers and they said it wasn't their work, either!
That’s so cool!! Jurassic Boat ride is the best/worst thing ever!! 😂 My daughter and I ride it religiously when we are in Pigeon Forge.
Finally I found people on the internet that know what pigeon forge is and has been there
There's so much untapped potential for cool creepy dark rides in a lot of franchises. Like imagine a silent hill or Half Life dark ride, or even fallout, especially the first two games. A portal 2 themed dark ride would probably work really well
I'd kill for a suspenseful FNAF 1 dark ride
Oh I would give my left kidney for a good Silent Hill themed dark ride. Could you imagine hearing sirens and getting billowed in fog while the ride vehicle lurches into the darkness? Into a drop, into a room full of human faced bugs before some abomination of a twisted humanoid creature lunges from the darkness at you? Hearing Pyramid Head scrape his great knife behind your car, and the next scene you veer away from him trying to slice you with it over his head? Making it out unscathed to see a sign that reads "Now Leaving Silent Hill" as you roll into the station?
@@ThePhantomSafetyPin That would be amazing! :D
@@ThePhantomSafetyPin I'd give my right kidney for this. Who do we have to petition? We've got a full set here!
I'd do ungodly things for more videogame-inspired theme park rides, especially dark rides. Silent Hill is a big one, but Resident Evil? The potential for a mansion ride-through is so good.
As someone who rode the Hollywood Tour in Phantasialand more than once I can confirm that it smelled very bad. Each time you rode it you could see it decay more and more. That big spider is from the movie "Tarantula" that's why it's in the desert. There also was a scene dedicated to Hitchcocks "The Birds", which was later turned into that strange Wizard of Oz scene.
On my first ride ever the ride broke down while we were at the King Kong scene and we had to hop from one boat to another till a staff member led us out of the ride through several backrooms. That attraction was wild.
the ET ride probably had the original concept design in mind, or at least the planned sequel that never got made
I am... Skeptical on the latter, give it would have been a lot darker if that were the case, given the plans for Nocturnal Fears.
@@Titleknown true but ET would have been a character, and given a name Zhreck
There actually was a book called "E.T.: Book of the Green Planet" published in 1985 that takes place on Brodo Asogi (as it's named in the Star Wars extended universe.) It seems that was really where most of the ride drew its inspiration.
@@SchnarphStudios wow
@@SchnarphStudiosI knew that E.T.'s species had representatives in the Galactic Senate, but I would've thought that cameo would be it and there wouldn't be any books or comics that actually name the planet.
It’s always a little disappointing when rides get infamous for being dilapidated and people want to come see it so the park restores it and takes away the deterioration charm lol
Delapidated, or just Dark Rides with a story that breaks the fourth wall that it's the story told in a dark ride, are dark rides that'll still be fun, they allow for attractions that don't seem right, and that gives the dark ride attention, giving the whole park featuring the dark ride attention.
8:36 - "There's also a witch in a bikini. No comment." SHE ATE THAT UP THAT'S THE COMMENT 👏 😭 great video btw, this was a really fun watch!
That Big Red Car ride is a lot like slowly remembering a traumatic event from your toddlerhood, but you just can't quite grasp what the trauma actually was.
I actually had a dream about the Big Red Car Ride after watching a ride through. Then years later Defunctland finally made a video about it and it was exactly like my dream. It creeps me out, it's like a liminal space thing.
ive never been afraid of animatronics or park rides before but this video really did fill me with dread. if i saw some of these irl i would actually be so freaked
Dark rides have always been inherently creepy to me especially with germaphobia, but the promise of art and robots usually overpowers the fear.
These would traumatize me 😂
L pfp
that "AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" that the weird dino thing made is pretty much used in jumpscares
I went to Oakwood on a school trip in the 2010s The Br’er rabbit ride at the time had failed completely, and I was tramitized in the ‘spinning rabbit room’ as their laughter has turned into a mechanical mess of screeching and wailing. The lights also flickered in there. when I was off the ride I needed a moment
Jesus😂
Oakwood has always been followed by misfortune it seems. Besides the fact that a teenager literally DIED after falling from that one Hydro ride, I remember visiting around 2014/15, and not even an hour into our arrival the entire park lost power somehow and everyone had to leave 💀 iirc figuring out ticket refunds was also a gargantuan pain in the ass
This is hilarious. The Carpetbagger just did another POV of the Jurassic Boat ride a few days ago, and here you are bringing up an older go.
The video was probably written and edited before that new POV was uploaded
@@eemelimeemeli Of course. I just think the timing of this being released so soon after is funny.
i actually got stuck on the phantasialand hollywood tour once, and they had to evacuate us out of the boats. there were only a few people in the boat at the time, and we sat in a dark tunnel between the tarzan scene and the previous one, watching the jetski ape and the animatronics mechanically repeat everything for about 15min, wich was even more unsetteling. they evacuated us through a maintenance exit and we got a look behind the scenes. the staff seemed kind of used to the procedure, and we got single-use fastpass tickets as compensation, wich they had already prepared. crazy experience overall :D
I feel like for me personally the worst place on that ride to be stuck would be under the giant spider. I cant tell I would freak the heck out
I would have freaked out, was watching thinking it be a terrible ride to be on if it broke down trapped in darkness 😅😅
@@Sarah_SparklesI can't imagine if the hair from the spider started to fall on you
@@Sarah_Sparkles i would have petted it the whole time, it was my fav thing to ride Hollywood Tour once every single visit and pet the spider
eah happend very often in it's last years. I had the same expeience rigth after the Sindbad/before the Frankenstein scene. Was cool having a look behind the scenes and I am a litte sad the attraction is gone. sadly I bet the time is ticking for Geister Rikscha also...
Because of this channel, dark rides, submechanophobia, and broken animatronics have become my very niche fixations
Glad to hear that! I love all of those!
weird-ass dark rides my beloved 💕 i honestly loved the E.T. ride as a kid, it was one of the few rides that DIDN'T freak me out back in the day-- surreal imagery has always been weirdly comforting for me. all the funky aliens were really cool to me but my mom was unsettled 😂
i have a lot of respect for the pigeon forge dinosaur ride even if the thought of actually riding it makes me wanna barf-- i have a very specific fear of very large and very loud animatronics lol. but the fact that it's a small passion project done for the love of it and that it's been up and running for so long...i just think that's neat!
I've always wanted to check out the Jurassic Jungle Boat Ride! Would love to check it out this year!
Oh I also LOVED the ET ride as a kid! This video has me wondering if it would freak me out now 😅
@paranormalpredicaments4686 Speaking from experience, nah, it's just as chill as before. Also it has a really distinct smell that just kind of takes you back
Jurassic Boat ride should NOT be missed- I have ridden it manyyyy times, and loved every second of the creepy mess that it is! 😆
The Big Red Car might be the closest backroom experience we could get
That big red car ride would set off my liminal space fear so bad 😭
I rode the Pigeon Forge Jurrasic Park ride in 2009 or 10. We were the only ones on the ride. It was...awesomely sad. Thanks for uploading the Carpetbagger's ride. I love Jacob, as well.
Wait the one where you are on a raft and it's just the velociraptor, a T rex and a triceratops?
im so glad you gave monster mansion a shout-out! it came to mind immediately when i saw your video's title. ahhhh the whimsy of the reconstruction era South
The woman with the sexy back that turns around and is a decaying corpse is apparently an old stock carnival haunted house scare. I remember seeing a vintage one in an antique store on Melrose Ave in California in the 90s.
Holy crap! You referenced the haunted ride at Belles in Tulsa. That ride messed me up as a little kid back in the 80's. Between that and Large Marge in Pee Wee's Big Adventure that summer, I was horrified to leave my room.
The Jurassic Boat ride is special. The dilapidated dinos made it extra terrifying, for sure! I love that it’s a standalone attraction on the roadside in pigeon forge. I wish there were more roadside dark rides around the us! I’d be so interested to know the financial struggles of a business like that. An interview with the owner or manager of that ride would be fascinating.
I totally agree! The owners are definitely mysterious. They also own Treasure Quest Mini Golf and Earthquake the Ride in Gatlinburg.
My daughter and I love Jurassic Boat ride and really wish they made merch! 🤣
5:28 that dudes face is easily the scariest part of the whole video
At 13:09 the line, "Truly the perfect imitation of a Dollar Store toy with low batteries after being left out in the rain." Adding the "left out in the rain." made me chortle.
I wonder why nobody uses chortle anymore as a descriptor for laughter, same for snicker or sniggle. Like, "I chortled gleefully and made beer go up my nose causing a wave of snickering and not just a few sniggles to erupt throughout my section of the restaurant." My wife on the other hand was mortified and acted in a most discombobulated manner that had me guffawing so much I set the restaurant goers chortling anew." Sounds okay to me.
This is the first time I ever watched your channel and believe or not, I made the above comment before I knew you read some at the end of your videos. New Subscriber.
16:24 Why does his pose plus the music make me feel like Frankenstein's monster is rizzing me up here?
Fun Fact: The figure seen in horror house is most likely not the same prop seen in Phantasmgoria. The prop (along with others such as the buzzard, green lady, and hanging skeleton) were taken to Ocean City to be used in their Haunted House after they bought the props off of someone who used to work at Bell's. Some were relocated to new places in the ride, and I can't find the prop of her anywhere (she was by the giant devil on the second floor last I saw) so perhaps this is the same prop, but I doubt it since they have differences such as hair. It would also be crazy to ship a single prop all the way to China as well.
Edit: I researched the footage of the Ghost Train and Trimper's and I can confirm that the prop in the dark ride at China is NOT the same as Trimper's. The footage of the ride was 9 years ago, but footage from 5 shows her by the devil at Trimper's. So either she went to China sometime before Phantasmoria shut down and returned to the U.S. in 2011 (where photos show off her and the green lady), the prop was from another Tracy attraction, or the most likely answer: she was a horror prop from some kind of catalogue that made the same model.
I rode Phantasmagoria many times in the later years. I looked up some old videos of that prop, then saw the uncensored video from the one in China, and I think you're right. It's the same gag, but there are differences, not just that she was wearing bottoms and had longer hair in Phantasmagoria. The back seems more plastic and shiny with the China version, while Phantasmagoria's looks more real.
@@OklahomaCoasterFan Exactly. Most likely is some kind of catalogue prop. Tracy probably saw it when he trying to find a replacement stunt for a broken one (I heard that the owners would trash old ones for newer ones if they were to break), bought it to fill the empty spot on Phantasmagoria, painted it with his classic Day-Glo paint, and set it up in the attraction. In fact, some props from Phantasmagoria seem a little too advanced for what Tracy worked with: wood, papier mache, and metal wire fence. Comparing props from the Whacky Shack, which is a sister attraction to Phantasmagoria, the props look more company bought than handmade (besides the opening day stunts of course). The Green Lady and the Bikini Lady probably were bought from some company when they needed new stunts in a pinch.
Hey man, your upbeat attitude and great uploads always put a smile on my face. Keep going!
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoy!
19:22
o-oh... OH MY GOD! I have been acknowledged! xD
As a fnaf fan. When i heared "The bite of 87.....million BC" It jumpscared me just hearing that. I wouldnt have expected a fnaf refrance in a theme park darkride video on a rollercoaster channel out of all places. That was fucking epic!
Like i was just casualy watching this video not having fnaf in my mind since 2 days ago, and suddenly "BITE OF 87"
the phantasialand ride actually used to be a childhood fav of mine lmao, I've basically seen it decay over the years. the wizard of ozz section actually used to be a section based on ''the birds''
also can confirm that it smells musty af in there. i rode it the last year before it shut down
Really neat! I don't understand how someone would operate some of these rides knowing what they are really like. Thanks for the vid!
as a german i'm always happy when phantasialands hollywood boat ride is mentioned. Ridden it once as a kid and since i have arachnophobia saying driving directly underneath the spider scared the heck outta me is quite the understatement
While yes, I agree that flooded mines is a little creepy, I’m pretty used to it’s old times charm because I grew up going to SDC and I find it to have something that I don’t get out of other water rides.
I love the ride as well!
@@ThemeParkCrazy its great. Since the lines are usually low you can stay in the boat and ask to go again. Great memories
I was already excited to see some spooky dark rides, and realizing The Big Red Car ride was included made it even better. (I only know about it from the Defunctland video)
Love your analogue horror filter, and the spot-on deadpan humor in every video.
I went on the big red car all the time when i was younger at dream world, but now when i walk past there i dont even want to look. Its THAT UNSETTLING in person
It’s still baffling that Mine of Lost Souls is on here. It’s definitely an entertaining and interesting ride but disturbing would’ve been the last thing I’d call it.
I love how you completely skipped over adding the horror-face along with the black and white adjustment on the wiggles-ride.
I’ve ridden Br’er Rabbits at oak woods many times as a kid and I will admit it was very unsettling. Crazy to see a local ride be No.1! 😂
The way you said no comment a5 yhe witch in the bikini made me laugh so hard for some reason. Something about your nonchalant delivery is so amusing to me. Also i love that it basically looks like they took a prop witch head and glues it to a clothes mannequin. Lol
Also the makeup carrots are super freaky hehe
When I was a kid, Six Flags Over Texas had a dark/boat ride called "The Spelunker Cave" and it still finds its way into my nightmares in my 40s.
My child hood was spent in oakwood that brer rabbit ride was my fav looking back at it now god it was terrifying no wonder why I grew up loving scary rides after that I would go on it every time you had a photo at the end and it started with a shadow of a guy in a rocking chair telling you about the party and giving you an invite I would still ride it today if it was open
You definitely have to do a small story about Willy's Chocolate Experience. It was kind of considered a theme area that actually was a rip off. It would be great to see if you discover anymore about it then what's already been said.
Willy's Chocolate Experience immediately came to mind when the unlicensed Roald Dahl land came up.
Soft spot in my hear for the E.T. ride, but the others were creepy af!!! The Atlantis ride at Sea World Fl should've made the list too. Can you consider reviewing peoples' backyard roller coasters and haunted houses/dark rides? I've seen some amazing ones.
I grew up in Southern NH and the Mine of Lost Souls at Canobie Lake was nightmare fuel for little kid me when I convinced my parents "I was brave" lol
Back when I first rode E.T. in Orlando, I remember actually ducking to avoid the water from the water alien scene.
For some reason, I was so horrified of the concept of water that even slightly touched those creepy animatronics that I tried to hide. From water.
Seeing canobie lake park's dark ride gave me whiplash, me and my friends have so many inside jokes about that ride... "Turn baaaack... Too lateeee" it cracks us up! Fun to see something local to me on one of these
I've seen the effect of the naked woman before in an Italian ghost train. Seems like there is just a manufacturer that builds those kinds of scenes.
I was always fascinated with animatronics and dark rides as a kid (still am) but incredibly scared of puppets and dolls at the same time. So dark rides where always a big 'gulp' moment for me. The one that freaked me out the most as a kid was Sagenhafte Schwarzwaldbahn at Germany's Steinwasenpark. Idk man but it was eerie and even ended in a visit to hell
Also, you show Brer Rabbits Burrow being removed, but that isn't the ride, its on the right with the big endless tunnel
Thank You for the Epilepsy warning!! It usually gets omitted from most videos!! Nice job!!!
The jurassic boat ride in pigeon forge is my favorite disaster. Its tradition to ride it every time we go there.
Tales of the Okefenoke's sound track legit slapped though. The queue song is great. Sad i never got to ride the glorious nightmare
15:22 The camels with radiation poisoning got me ☠️
Devil's Den was not disturbing, disgusting maybe but not disturbing.
The park it was in was disturbing, but that's what made it so great.
Since the current owner is rumored to be building condos where the remains of the park is, maybe another park can take this two-of-a-kind ride under its wing if it goes up for sale!
@@Thatsomethingfan1976 Unfortunately, the new owner is a scumbag AND an idiot, because he's just trashed everything so far. IDK why he didn't sell off any of the rides at least
@@Spike-sk7qlMy boyfriend has family that lives up there so he grew up going there. It definitely turned into a shitshow
@@BooglePoots I'm roughly 30-40 mins away, depending on traffic. Grew up going there in the 80s and early 90s.
Dark creepy rides are the best! what would be cool get a bunch of beet up rock afire explosion animatronics chucky cheese and anything old school have a scarry pizza ride with the animatronics scarring you something way more intense than five nights at Freddy's , that would be one hell of a scarry dark ride! animatronics are scarry no matter if they working or not they just are nightmare fuel!!! great work
no mention of blazing inferno at dollywood? dark flume ride in a burning coal mine fire? the most terrifyingly awesome ride ever, and it has a sudden blind drop into water. so good.
"Idk...somethings just don't have answers"... And "yassssified vegetables" lol love the sass sir... you create some really great content with really good funny narration..quite enjoyable...
I'm def a fan of your channel...
Thank you for the kind words 😁
Here before the video blows up. Crazy Thumbnail 😂
9:42 "ahh, my favorite ride... Peter Pan's flight... The best part is the infamous GUM WALL"
There actually was kind of an infamous gum wall at Disneyland many years ago. Before Star Tours there was a ride in the same location called Journey to Innerspace. It was my favorite ride there when I was little. There was a giant snowflake where teens would deposit their gum when they took a break from making out in the very dark ride. The gum was quite visible though.
I'm guessing it played a role in Disney parks not selling chewing gum.
The dark ride at Conneaut was used in their haunted house (at least it was like over 12 years ago.) It was a walk-through. So kinda dangerous because the scare factor of it was just...it's dark? So we were walking along the side of the wall trying not to slip down into the tracked area. My uncle pulled out a lighter and so many people cheered him on for using it. Lol. The scariest part was trying not to touch the walls and fall. I don't know who signed off on that idea.
I remember that one too.
The E.T ride in my opinion, is a great one
this reminds me of “Garfield’s Nightmare” at Kennywood! I watched a little doc about it two years ago and now it lives rent free in my head lol
Great list, combining rides that are intentionally scary and unintentional ones. This could easily become a series of videos.
PD: wasn't Terra Mítica's the labyrinth of the minotaur originally in the list for voting, or did I just had a weird dream a bout it?
It was on the original list but it didn't make the finalist poll.
@@ThemeParkCrazy oh okay, thanks for answering and confirming I'm not going crazy. A little sad to hear that honestly, that ride started my obsession with dark rides and theme parks in general, but still like the final list. As I said before great list and great video
As an epileptic fan of your content, I thank you for the flashing lights warnings! 💜
theme park crazy you make amazing vids. they are always super entertaining.
I rode the Jurassic Boat Ride around 2009- 2010 and I have a soft spot for it. I went to the Dinosaur Walk museum that was right down the road before I tried this ride, but that location has since closed. I thought it was pretty great there was a stand alone Dinosaur themed ride basically neighboring that museum, and we caught it in view as we were leaving the town. There was a small gathering of people waiting to ride it (not the mannequins of course), enough that each family got their own boat with barely any wait time. So, it was overall hauntingly empty.
Even in the dim light, the animatronics' condition wasn't nearly as bad- especially the broken jawed T.Rex. Looking at what it looked like in the video since I last saw it in person, it gives me the impression of a dinosaur that had an infected, rotting jaw- which is honestly even more unsettling. I definitely remember the big coiling snake too- I found that one pretty interesting and was wondering if I'd ever see 'the head' of it later in the ride. I think I remember the Allosaurus head functioning, and the sounds were definitely better quality.
I'm happy to see that it got an upgrade over time though, even if the dilapidated animatronics have a special charm :) There's no other ride quite like it- once you experience it, you don't forget it- even if your opinion after riding it isn't positive. I'd visit and ride it a second time if I were ever in the area again. I always enjoy when this ride gets mentioned in videos like these.
I've been on Devil's Den so many times!!! My family comes from the area around the park, and my mom and grandparents both worked at the park when they were younger. I remember loving the actual interior of the ride, but HATED the gum wall. My cousins would always try and stick their gum on it, and I would start squirming just looking at it.
I really hope the attraction does get to stay. With everything at the park closing, a lot of the town's history seems to be vanishing with it too.
The rollercoaster at that park, The Blue Streak, was my favorite. I apparently broke the park record by riding it 66 times in ONE DAY back when I was 15 or so. And that was before the ride had actual seatbelts- it was only a single lapbar!
My aunt's company helped demolish the rollercoaster after it was set on fire, and she managed to get a small piece of it and send it to me, which I know keep as a souvenir.
Just the mention of that park or any of the rides in it make me a little choked up, knowing how important it was to my family and my own childhood.
Dude that is so cool. I wish I could have somehow snagged a piece of Blue Streak. That was my first "big coaster" back in the late 80s. My family, and the neighbor family would always go there a few times a year. I used to love that ride. Even though it was rough as hell. Last got to ride it in the summer of 19. I miss that place actually.
@@Spike-sk7ql I think it was my first coaster too!! I still remember that big bump to the side right as you turned to go into the small bunny hops.
We won't see a ride like that ever again, that's for sure 😅
@@snowyoreo663 we actually lost a piece of roller coaster history when that douche canoe burnt it down.
My Grandparents lived about 45 minutes away from Conneaut Lake Park. We went every summer with the cousins rode Devils Den many times. My Mom’s Senior Class trip was there in 1962, my Grandma talked about the Dance Hall. One summer they had a new water slide, scariest thing I did as a kid. It was a roller slide sat on a hard plastic slide used to roll down the rollers into the lake. The roller we’re like the ones used to move packages lol.
SDC MENTIONED RAHHH 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 WHERE TF ARE FLANDERS PANTS
All jokes aside, I love these lists! They always scratch a special itch in my brain and send me down a rabbit hole of watching dark ride videos and researching them whenever I come across one. Dunno how I haven’t subscribed until now but better late than never!
Also as an avid SDC fan/passholder (if that wasn’t already glaringly obvious), I always think of your videos whenever I pass that particular animatronic on Flooded Mine. Speaking of, I had my first SDC visit of the season the other day, and I noticed that they gave the ride some love in the off season! Several effects that haven’t been working properly for years have been fixed, they added some nice new lighting effects, they fixed up the guns a bit, etc. I just really appreciate that and thought that I’d mention it! Lol sorry I’m rambling at this point, keep up the good work!
I been waiting for this video and it’s out.🎊
Thanks for sharing this video, woah definitely some creepy vibes in some of these dark rides it is sad when animatronics are just left to Rot like that especially in water I bet the smell would be vile mould etc ewww I think that rides need to update & repair any or all of there animatronics it's sad I'm glad Jacob did a video on the dinosaur dark ride it was sad it see so many in bad condition & in need of disrepair if that ride wants to remain open then they need to restore & recycle there animatronics it would be creepy seeing a t rex with his jaw hanging by some wires this dark ride will really lose business until they start improving there dark ride animatronics properly I miss the air gun game where you shoot targets & things would spin etc & make you laugh the western scene I remember playing was fun.
Sometimes the scariest animatronics are the ones that aren't built for it...
My favorite was Alien Encounter, which was in the Magic Kingdom. My niece held my arm through the entire encounter.
That one was TRULY something. Terrifying and brilliant!!!!

This is amazing! If you do a follow up, I would recommend the castle dark ride in holiday park in Germany. That one is deeply concerning, especially the medieval dungeon part.
Also, Home, the naked woman animatronic that spins around and is revealed to be a skeleton was in multiple carnival dark rides here in the US, but after parents complain to the first painted them to have bikinis, and then eventually removed them all together
The one at Holiday Park has been re-themed to (I think) Tabaluga now. It is no longer the iconic medieval ride it used to be.
But he wouldn't be able to show all of it here as well - it did contain one animatronic woman who "accidentally" went topless for a few seconds when someone pulled on a piece of cloth she had wrapped around the body.
But with this being Germany, hardly anyone gave a flying youknowwhat. 😂
@@Colaholiker what confuses me is that that one has been filmed in it’s on RUclips with absolutely no issue same thing with the German word flume that has naked women statues in the fountain of youth and those have been allowed to remain up, so why would someone reviewing it have issues showing that?
@@wolfpackgaming1383Maybe it has to do with monetization. You *can* show it, but then you don't get paid? I don't know, I don't have videos on here, but that's one possible explanation.

I'm from Germany and Loved the Hollywood Tour Ride in Phantasialand when i was younger, i'm glad i got to ride it one Last time in 2018 before they shut it down in 2020. The giant spider in the Western Scene was an homage to Tarantula, a 1955 horror movie that's meant to take place in Desert Rock Arizona.
10:45 ✨yyyaaaaaasssssss✨✨✨😂😂😂😂😂
Dollywood in Pigeon Forge TN used to be Silver Dollar City. I remember going through it and The Blazing Fury as a kid back in the 80s and 90s. Both were awesome and creepy!
VERYS SPOOKE
SO SPOKKA🦅
SUPER SPONKY🤑
From Tulsa rode the phantasmagoria in the 90s, thanks for bringing that horrifying experience back to the front of my mind. Not a super long rode but it's scares where legitimately scary if youre the type that lets yourself enjoy being scared
Thank you for mentioning the Mine of Lost Souls
canobie lake park’s mine of lost souls finally making a top 10 is making my new england heart soar
saw E.T. and clicked immediately, that ride is literally the foundation of my childhood nostalgia
Dozing off to this video is crazy because one second I’m intrigued and curious, the next moment I’m opening my eyes to a new terror
Oh, wow, I don’t live far from Oakwood, and I did NOT expect to see it on this list! Beer Rabbit was a creepy ride, indeed. It’s not there now, though, Oakwood’s had a Peter Pan makeover now! Thanks for including it! 👏👏👏
3:20
Alright, that's just 1:1 the popcorn stall from rollercoaster tycoon 1 and 2
Awesome video, by the way! These are all so interesting, and I wouldn't expect any less from you.
bro hearing the mine of lost souls again brought some nostalgia. i loved that ride so much
I was going to mention the Hollywood ride in phantasialand! But you covered it. I visited the park years ago and we decided to try this ride. There was no queu which was a first and everything looked crummy and run down. The waterskiing ape reeked of mold and the creepiest thing was the fairy lady animatronic because the paint was chipped off.
