I used to go every week when I lived in Utah. I moved to New England and have missed it ever since. I'm excited to be returning to Utah in December just in time for Aurora. It's been great to see Evermore's growth. I believe it has the potential to be one of the greatest theme parks there is. I can't wait to get back to working with the Black Hearts.
I heard about this place when it was opening and I'm finally getting the chance to go on my birthday in November, super excited! Definitely going to aim for grand champion 🏆
Ive wanted to go there since I first heard of it like 2 years ago, going to finally be able to go right before Halloween, it'll be a 6 1/2 hour drive but im so excited!!
At 15:57. Apparently no fountain in that location. Was going to be a fairly large and intricate fountain there as planned several years ago before opening. Do they even still plan on installing it?
@@everadventuress They are. New equipment arrives late October, early November. The ice rink is on the side of the fountain where the green turf is and they hold the concerts. The fountain is two levels and has too much stuff in it to make it a rink.
@@exsharkey32jj36 It was so fun you do quests with trading cards at different tents you can also buy stuff from tents to trade there are many magical actors that help guide you around and interact with I got do this one job with one of the actors to drag people into his shop for them to buy potions I got 1 gold. OH THERE'S ALPACAS/LLAMAS! That's how it was thanks for asking!
Hi, I'm planning g a trip next year (coming from Down Under) to Evermore- I'm wondering if it would be worth spending a whole weekend or just one night?
thank you so much for the video. I just found Evermore and want to go soooo bad. it's a 5½hrs drive Las Vegas for us. is it worth it to stay Fri Sat Sun and leave Monday morning?
The park is open Friday and Saturday nights presently, so you could head back on Sunday as needed. I think you'll have a blast going two days, but you can always start with Friday and see how you are feeling after that.
Have they brought back the rpg/quest element they had when they first started or is it now more of an event center with less focus on story and role playing?
During any story season night (Mythos, Lore, Aurora) there is a story and there are quests. There are sometimes non story times like Springfest (which was a few weeks in the Spring) while actors are in rehearsals that are not centered around story or quests. So yes, as long as you go during a story season night, the quest element is there!
There is no certified gluten free food there. The safest is food in Vanders keep. Gluten free options are labeled on the menu there. I would avoid the fries in park because of cross contamination. I haven't had issues with the salads and shakes near the front of park, but again it is not certified and there's always that possibility of contamination. The staff has not been trained to know what is for sure gluten free and how to keep it that way. I'd recommend eating beforehand or packing a snack you can go out to the car to eat if needed if you are worried.
I live in utah and was super excited about this place... but hearing about the concepts, to realization, and what it actually is. It makes me sad and I feel like it's not worth the trip. I'm sorry but I'm not satisfied with half built buildings and most buildings being closed to the public, fire dancing to electronic music, chalk board menus, hot dogs, and half thrown together scripts and half hearted tasks made up by actors on the spot. Every video I see, the immersion is broken everywhere with exposed wires and buildings filled with electrical panels. They ran out of money... but they could have finished the major parts of the park before spending money on real antiques and statues and grave stones. They have an art team that builds puppets and prosthetics in house... they could have saved thousands and done the same thing with their decor. Anyway... that's my rant on evermore park. If I was a millionaire, my passion project would be to help fix that place and make it what truly could be.
That's fair. Maybe it will be what you are looking for at some point and maybe not. You're not alone in wanting to be able to fix it up. It's gone through many different phases of having really excellent live musicians at times to electronic music other times. Food has been amazing some seasons and really lackluster other seasons. I personally prefer when the train ride is peaceful to when it has narration. The speakers are painfully loud if you are next to them. Perhaps I'm too lenient in wanting any part of a fantasy themed immersive experience even when it's still got so far to go. I think the main issue is Evermore hasn't gotten to a place where it's *consistently a magical experience. A lot of people who come are delighted and travel from out of state year after year to return. Others are underwhelmed. Sadly too much depends on if you happened to want food at a time it was fast to acquire and still available and if you happened to have super fun actor interactions or not. I personally don't get hung up on what the original park design was. That would have been amazing. I hope something like that is created some day. Evermore may not be that, but what it is is something I personally enjoy despite its many flaws. At the same time, I feel it's totally valid if someone doesn't enjoy it.
@@everadventuress everyone should watch Jenny Nicholson's video on the park. She's a major theme park enthusiast and goes in depth into not only the experience of the actual park but the operation of the park itself.
@@t-blood9358 When I heard about the injury that happened to the Satyr, and the CEO's message to everyone after of trying to incorporate it into the story, with the "break a leg! :)" at the end, my blood absolutely boiled. The performers make this place great, but the behind the scenes running of it when it comes to both physical and emotional safety makes me sick.
@@t-blood9358 I watched Jenny's video on Evermore and stopped planning a 2023 visit to Utah over it, her thoroughness seemed on point. Then the more of her videos started popping on my dashboard the more I realized she just seems to put out hyper negative videos about....everything. I'm looking for more videos on Evermore from different perspectives for sure.
Was just wondering! Are visitors allowed to wear costumes? Or is this only permitted during Halloween? I absolutely love the theme & have my own cosplay. But I don't want to be mistaken as an employee. I know major theme parks are very touchy about it. Was wondering the stance here. Thanks in advance!
Evermore is very different from other themed parks in this regard. Guests are encouraged to come in cosplay. Lots of people do. Just be sure that if someone gets confused and asks you for a quest that you tell them you don't work there!
What ive learned is its ok if your a regular visitor, the place has about 50 die hard fans and thats about it. If you arent one of those regular fan visitors they have gotten to know, its not fun, its lame with barely anything to do for most irregular people, not worth visiting for most people unless you are prepared for a huge let down, thats after watching around 100 videos of people that have visited the park and some more than once

Headed there for the first weekend in August! I'm super excited!

Excited for you!
We were there this week! Joined the Dragon Riders. It was a ton of fun for the whole family!!
Loved the Oktoberfest weekend , we enjoyed the chicken dancers and great music !
It was so fun!
Excellent video as always

It was an ice rink in the winter season and used as a stage in the summer season. I'm not sure if they plan on installing the fountain.

EEEE AMAZING! ILYSM!
Just came back! SO FUN!

I would say the whole weekend, but you can always go Friday and decide if you want to return the next day!
@@everadventuress thank you! I'm so looking forward to it!

Thank you! I’ve been there twice before and the story/quest element was so much fun-I don’t know if I would want to go back without it.
It looks like a permanent Renaissance Faire?
Is any of the food certified gluten free in park? I have a sister who is severely allergic to wheat, thanks in advance!

I think you can feel safe visiting. I'm so sorry you've have to deal with that fear.
