The only reason why I’m scared of water rides is that I fear to get stuck on it and therefore have to leave the boat and go into the water with these animatronics. Imagine going or swimming through these waters and an animatronic shark shows up. I would simply die
EXACTLY omg all the times ive been on water rides at theme parks i was always scared of the ride breaking down and us having to leave the boat to walk or step on the water around it to get to the land😭😩the idea that theres mecanic metal moving stuff down there is just so terrifying to me
I was watching videos of ride breakdowns because it's interesting to see rides with lights on. The Jungle Cruise was one of the rides that had a malfunction. "The water isn't that deep, so there's no real danger" was said. The depth of the water is NOT the danger, it is, in fact, the animatronics lurking beneath.
Yes! I watched a different video about the Universal Orlando Jaws ride and they showed the empty “lake” and it’s just deep cement pools with machine. You could easily be crushed by a moving part.
That's probably the most disturbing one on the list--next to King Kong and the sharks--because the others weren't eating something. Who decided this was a good idea? 😭
I saw it in person multiple times and it was absolutely terrifying as a child (': The thought of it still gives me chills. It was so freaking close to the ride omg
What makes me scared isnt the animatronics while they are moving, it’s after they are abandoned. Imagine stumbling upon something like this while underwater. That is more scary to me than seeing them move on water rides
I got chills just reading this comment. When I was little and I had swimming lessons I always imagined some creepy animatronic appearing out for nowhere in the pool and grabbing me.
What scares me most about Underwater mechanics is the idea of what you see on top of the water, is nothing compared to what lies under the water. All that scary machinery, and the idea of being near it when it suddenly turns on. It's the same idea of when your at the bottom of a cruise ship, and being underwater to see the size of the propeller. You've never felt submechaniphobia until you've seen a diver next to one of those. There is a sense of horrid dread that hits me when I see it lol
When they are coming out of the water I absolutely HATE watching the water flow off it also they have so much wires under water to control them and that’s probably what scares me most
I grew up scared of that shark at the Houston Aquarium. It’s even scarier as a kid because they give you this fake story about how they used to have a great white at the aquarium and it “escaped” and “they never found it.” That story scared the tar out of me as a kid.
When i was little and i would swim in my pool at night with the pools light on, it would light up a sort of green color and be super hard to see. i always imagined there being a giant squid under me or sharks coming out of the light at the end of the pool. i had no idea what this irrational fear was until i now at fifteen have discovered submechanophobia.
I had a similar fear but in the shower and it was a shark. But, after I watched a bit of "The Creature From The Black Lagoon." As a kid, I always imagined it was in the water with me. That was a fun time. 😑 I eventually grew out of the shark fear when I was 12.
6:23 the animatronic can scare guests and cause submechanophobics to be frightened of the attraction, but the demon slayers in the background can easily defeat the monster
That’s the one that made my stomach flip watching! Couldn’t imagine with the darkness of the ride and how gigantic it looked. Terrifying. Looks like it popped up pretty fast too
I mean, a lot of tropical areas have sharks in their waters. Not Great Whites, but smaller sharks. I guess they decided a small reef shark wasn't scary enough.
Doesn’t look like Kong emerges from the waterfall, looks like he’s kinda stuck in that position underneath it. It would be scarier if he did suddenly emerge from behind it instead of just hanging out there like a giant ape taking a shower .
I would make him Come out from Behind the Waterfall, what I mean by that is behind the Giant Rock that has the Waterfall cave in it and he would Roar at the guests. I would sh@(#*#* my pants if I saw that
I’ve had nightmares about those pirates! I remember being lost in the dark rooms, filled with murky water, and the lifeless pirates moving slowly, paired with an horrible metal scraping sound, trying to stay above the water, and not to succumb to the rusty metal machines underwater. There is nobody there. You can’t see much. The doors are long closed.
As a kid, i was on the pirate ride at Drayton Manor when it broke down. We were stuck watching the shark chase the pirate for around 40 minutes. The worse thing was, it was the boat we were going around on that broke down, the sounds and animatronics around us were still functioning! So you can imagine how terrified a 8 year old me was! I completely blame this for my submechanaphobia today!
I've been to Triassic park countless times in winter to ski and know the place very well. As a child I used to dig around in the deep snow and dig out the dinosaurs some of which were completely hidden under the snow. In winter the water dinosaur is just floating in the air and it's even creepier than in summer.
I get what you mean by that but I think it's funny to imagine it just hovering high above the lake and suspended in the air, jankily turning and moving around some weird plane like an NPC in an old 3D game like Half-Life.
I've been to the Houston aquarium countless times. I was always scared of the shark as a kid (and I still jump even knowing that it's there), but honestly, after the jumpscare it's a lot more funny than scary. you have to sit in the right spot for the full effect. sit in the back and it goes off before you even see it, sit in the front and you'll pass it before it pops up. it even sprays water as you pass, but the timing it always off and it sprays you before the shark pops up. it's honestly amazing
As someone who’s been to the Downtown Aquarium quite a few times, I was pleasantly surprised to see the Shark Voyage make this list, especially at this position!
As a child my family would go to disneyland almost annually. The only ride i had a problem with was the jungle cruise. I remember being 5 or 6, kicking and screaming as my parents dragged me into the queue. Eventually they gave up and someone would stay with me while the others would get on the ride. They never understood why i was afraid, and tbh i didn't either. I just know that being in that boat surrounded by that murky water and those animatronics scared me. Now as an adult, i still get chills being in that situation. It all makes sense now.
I was afraid of everything there, especially the thunder and lightning. And I would literally cry if i had to go to the bathroom and walk under the doorway with the gorilla animatronic
@@unlimitedfunlol omg same the gorillas scared me. Also the lightning made me actually think it was raining. For some reason I actually felt rain idk if it’s just me
I know; it's just so deep, but there's also barely any wiggle room because of its small width. You can probably get stuck there easier than with most rides. It feels specifically made for the shark too, as if it isn't a natural creature but rather an invasive thing being shown off.
The old king Kong exhibit in universal studios hollywood tour was the first animatronic that gave me straight nightmares. I was pretty relieved to know the studio caught fire and was closed. But I can't imagine how a burnt up king Kong would look like 😵
Okay the crocodile at 2:38 is the EXACT same one that used to be in the fountain outside of the Rainforest Cafe in Niagara Falls! I completely believe that this guy is what created my submechanophobia. He would be so still and then randomly just lunge!
I actually went to the Houston zoo a few years ago I was completely in awe at the exhibit of the sharks but when we reach the mechanical shark it completely caught me off guard and scared the daylights out of me!
The King Kong animatronic at Universal Orlando actually terrified one of my friends and they actually went insane for a little while. The Serengeti Park one is even scarier than that. Glad they never went there!
The flashing multicolor eyes honestly make the repurposed flat ride King Kong look kinda derp, at least in that setup. They'd probably be worse (that is, more intimidating) in the actual flat ride.
I'm from Cleveland Ohio. Once a year my school would have a field trip at the zoo. That alligator still terrifies me to this day! 26 years of life and I never knew his name.
Imagine working at one of these places and having to be the one that quietly goes to the exhibit alone at the end of the day to turn it off. That would give me nightmares.
imagining what’s beneath, all the gears and such, and the depth needed to cover them completely honestly terrifies me more than the animatronic itself and its functions. i don’t like how i can’t see what’s going on 😐
I realized i had this fear when i would see a animatronic crocodile come out of the water at local Zoo. I think it's still there but it was so creepy because it was a dark room with fog everywhere Edit: OMG the Cleveland Zoo was the one i was talking about in this video!
I’ve been to the Downtown aquarium in San Antonio, it was an amazing and relaxing ride because we could see those sharks through the glass. I wasn’t expecting the animatronic shark at the end and I was recording the whole time so that thing actually scared me. Back in 2018
my whole life i've had recurring nightmares about being stuck on these themed boat rides and it's really great to know this is a legitimate fear but now i've watched 30 minutes of video of it before going to bed so...
Interesting that Safari World's safari river ride has a real snake in that log. And again another underrated channel Themepark Crazy is great. Also 6:25 did anyone notice those Demon Slayer cosplayers in the background?😅😅
@@GamerKidKid-ml4ur To some of us, the mere sight of it is scary. It doesn't have to grab us, hurt us, or throw shit at us to be scary. But I'm happy you aren't afraid of it. :)
Oh wow! I wasn't expecting the Cleveland Zoo to be on here! I go there all the time! That thing does freak me out but I still love seeing it whenever I go because of my small obsession with animatronics.
i would hate to fall in and see all the mechanics underwater just because the water is not very clear so you cant see anything in-front of you so you have to be close to see it, and the fact that the mechanics are probably huge underwater. just thinking about it scared me
I was raised in Houston Texas and I remember riding the downtown aquarium ride, me and my family wanted to ride that train so we got on the ride and little did we know. We regretted it. That shark scared the 💩 out of me It was so scary and the way shot out water really scared the living out of me
So would the lifelike Jason Vorhees statue that someone put in a lake count for submechanophobia? Not necessarily an animatronic but it is a manmade item submerged under water. I would legit freak out if I was scuba diving and ran into that 😣
@@heuuuuuuuuu According to wikipedia, "Submechanophobia is a fear of submerged man-made objects, either partially or entirely underwater. These objects could be shipwrecks, statues, or old buildings, but also more mundane items such as buoys and miscellaneous debris." Never mentions animation, and most posts within the community are of boats, stairs, and other buildings. Even statues like the ones at disneyland from the scuba diving attraction
Thank you for giving me the name of this phobia. I used to think I was crazy. Used to have nightmares of a sub coming at me underwater, no bottom in sight or top. I'm soooo glad I have a name for it!
Well done! What an awesome list! I haven’t heard of any of these and I considered myself a underwater animatronic connoisseur. The King Kong gorilla animatronic was jarring 🦍 Just the size alone was terrifying and the water just made it so much worse lol. Also the dark ride Orca literally made my stomach drop
The fact that I think Jungle Cruise is more scary than that Thailand version, is mainly because the Jungle Cruise ride has had too many sinkings for me to want to ride it.
I was always afraid of the Tokken from the Maelstrom ride from Disney. I grew up being afraid of it. Growing up, I was convinced that if I fell down in the water with an animatronic, the lower half wouldn't be gears or the other half, but an eldrich form underneath. I shake at the mere thought of it
Years ago, around 1971, was a paddle boat ride in a park called Lagoon in Farmington, Utah. The actual lagoon had carp you could feed and the before mentioned paddle boat ride. Its track was floaties and rope. When you got to a certain spot, an orange monster would come up from underwater. Over the years, they just made the orange monster into a statue instead. Man, that thing about made me terrified about falling into the water as a kid.
This alligator is, I think it’s a alligator but itself like I was a little kid. I one time we went there. I looked at it and never said that, and I scared the heck out of me
@@kooranaad1839 upon coming to the end of the video I realized it was a Fastpass Facts video. Strangely made on the same obscure subject of submechanophobia. what a coincidence!
@@FatherAxeKeeper Fastpass Facts and I work together on a lot of videos. Last year, we both got the idea to cover submechanophobia. They focus on animatronics more, and I also have an interest in them.
I was surprised to see Houston pop up on this list! I rode the shark voyage train years ago and definitely wasn’t expecting the shark jumpscare, but I thought he looked too silly to be scary. Now I understand how being able to see the machinery under him is scary
Honestly I have this phobia and think the same thing most people worry about, being stuck on a water ride and having to be stuck or swim with these animatronics 😳😫😱
OMG THE SHARK VOYAGE FROM DOWNTOWN AQUARIUM!! I remember going on that ride for the first time as a kid. If you’re a little kid and it’s your first time on the train, it’s so much fun by the shark animatronic is a complete surprise. The train is advertised as a brief tour of part of the park and of course the shark tunnel like you mentioned. It’s p much the only way to see big sharks at the aquarium. They even have this huuuuuuge saw shark she’s so beautiful. Anyway, the whole ride is narrated by this automated voice playing on the speakers above your seats. As you enter and sit in the shark tunnel, the voice tells you about all the different types of sharks in the tank. It mentions that they used to have a great white shark, but it escaped after like this flood or something and now they can’t find it. And then the ride/tour is continuing as usual and you think it’s ending and THATS when you get that jump scare of the burst of water and the great white shark jumps out of the water. When I was little, the animatronic looked more like the picture you showed at the beginning, but they’ve updated it since then. I personally think the older version was wayyy scarier, but the newer version has that bright red paint dripping from its teeth, which is actually p dark for how family friendly the rest of the park is. I actually went back to that aquarium and that ride this past august just for nostalgia. I noticed that they’ve updated the great white shark’s escape story too. Instead of it escaping during a random flood, now the story goes that it got out specifically during Hurricane Harvey. It was cute seeing little kids on the train for their first time just like how I once rode it. Thank you for including the shark train voyage! Made my heart so happy
I remember an attraction with floating buoys in a huge pool, you could drive them it was a ton of fun but the idea of falling on that pool still haunts me to this day lol
This video helped me discover that I have this phobia. Idk why it never occurred to me when I would cry on the Jaws ride at Universal and the Jungle Cruise, while I love it, makes me extremely uncomfortable. Good to know
6:35 i went to kyoto with my dad and brother for a vacation once. Brother was busy with homework and so me and my dad went out to the studio park because we saw it yestersay and thought itd be interesting to go to. The dragon is located in the middle of the village portion of the park surrounded by port houses. I remember just walking around and realizing there was something in the water. I was about to yell that somethings in the water, I walked to the back area and it activated abruptly. It slowly emerged from the water and there were speakers playing roaring and snarling noises as it sprayed mist around it as it turned around. Jumpscared the Hell out of me. Me and my dad had a good laugh about it afterwards. I hate the thought of being in the mossy water with it, but still cool tho.
What if in hundreds of years once all these parks and animatronics are abandoned, someone goes swimming in a lake, river, or another body of water and then all of a sudden you run into one of these animatronics under the water. New fear unlocked😳
Light up eyes in animatronics always ruin it for me. Instead of letting my imagination pretend that it’s real, or admiring the artistry, all I can think of is “Why’d the put light bulbs where it’s eyes are supposed to be?”
Bro I can't tell you how awesome this channel is! I'm watching all these vids on my vacation!!!! I live an hour from Cedar Point and feel so privileged!
It has been so long since I have looked at these types if videos. Last time I watches this I couldn't sleep. Facing towards the wall and I didnt want to look behind me. Talk about nightmare fuel
I had actually went to Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium on my visit back to NZ and I'm very happy the dark ride is gone! But the spinning Ice tunnel thing is EXTREMELY trippy! I highly recommend going if you can!
I've never heard that version of the Kappa legend. I've heard of bowing and using cucumbers to escape. But never the soul out the backside. Also, almost all items on the list gave me goosebumps. Some actually are making me feel sick.

I mean, a lot of tropical areas have sharks in their waters. Not Great Whites, but smaller sharks. I guess they decided a small reef shark wasn't scary enough.
Bull sharks get quite large, and are capable of surviving in freshwater. They even exist in a few landlocked lakes.

The King Kong animatronic at Universal Orlando actually terrified one of my friends and they actually went insane for a little while. The Serengeti Park one is even scarier than that. Glad they never went there!
The new kong animatronic or the old one from the previous kong ride?
@@tyconnelly6879 old one.
The flashing multicolor eyes honestly make the repurposed flat ride King Kong look kinda derp, at least in that setup. They'd probably be worse (that is, more intimidating) in the actual flat ride.
4:57 the thing that gets me is how suddenly it stops. it's so freaky and uncanny
I'm from Cleveland Ohio. Once a year my school would have a field trip at the zoo. That alligator still terrifies me to this day! 26 years of life and I never knew his name.
Imagine working at one of these places and having to be the one that quietly goes to the exhibit alone at the end of the day to turn it off. That would give me nightmares.
That Bunyip ended up looking like the melting guy from Robocop.
imagining what’s beneath, all the gears and such, and the depth needed to cover them completely honestly terrifies me more than the animatronic itself and its functions.
i don’t like how i can’t see what’s going on 😐
It’s fnaf all over again
6:00 I’m distracted by the fact that the socks say “Parmesan Cheese.”
14:52 The sheer AGRESSION in the way the boat driver says Kong's name had me on the floor
I realized i had this fear when i would see a animatronic crocodile come out of the water at local Zoo. I think it's still there but it was so creepy because it was a dark room with fog everywhere
Edit: OMG the Cleveland Zoo was the one i was talking about in this video!
He's no longer there
@@capybara455 Wooly Bill came back for summer 2023 and will probably be back this year
I have this fear of big objects in water
Why am I watching this lol
Have you ever thought that water itself is big like the ocean or even the earth under the water is huge? Enjoy ur new fears 🤣 oops
I’ve been to the Downtown aquarium in San Antonio, it was an amazing and relaxing ride because we could see those sharks through the glass. I wasn’t expecting the animatronic shark at the end and I was recording the whole time so that thing actually scared me. Back in 2018
The pirate adventure at Drayton Manor was way before pirates of the Caribbean. I remember going to it in 1992 !!
my whole life i've had recurring nightmares about being stuck on these themed boat rides and it's really great to know this is a legitimate fear but now i've watched 30 minutes of video of it before going to bed so...
Interesting that Safari World's safari river ride has a real snake in that log. And again another underrated channel Themepark Crazy is great. Also 6:25 did anyone notice those Demon Slayer cosplayers in the background?😅😅
same lol i was like wait a minute isnt this that one place cosplayers love going for pictures
Yes I did your not the only one
My mind immediately started looking for Doom Slayer before I realized my error
@@wiseguy1512 pfft lmao
yes haha, i was waiting for someone to comment this
Me with my submechanophobia: consistently pressing "L" when I chickened out.
The King Kong animatronic is very scary, more than universal animatronic.
Yeah, but you have to admit, the sheer scale of it is incredibly impressive.
@@DeCostaPictures8526 Yes.
It's not even that scary all it does is stand under the waterfall looking like a giant monkey taking s shower
@@GamerKidKid-ml4ur To some of us, the mere sight of it is scary.
It doesn't have to grab us, hurt us, or throw shit at us to be scary.
But I'm happy you aren't afraid of it. :)
@@retrofun1479 ok.
Oh wow! I wasn't expecting the Cleveland Zoo to be on here! I go there all the time! That thing does freak me out but I still love seeing it whenever I go because of my small obsession with animatronics.
Don't ever stop this channel
I don’t even have submechanophobia but that King Kong would give me heart failure
Every single one of these made me want to peel my skin off 😃 I hadn't seen any of these before so this was amazing! Fantastic video as always 👏🏻
... made me want to peel my skin off 😀
Ya good bro?
I think the fear is that:
If it were to be abandoned it would be even more terrifying, and more destroyed, and that once it was used.
i would hate to fall in and see all the mechanics underwater just because the water is not very clear so you cant see anything in-front of you so you have to be close to see it, and the fact that the mechanics are probably huge underwater. just thinking about it scared me
I was raised in Houston Texas and I remember riding the downtown aquarium ride, me and my family wanted to ride that train so we got on the ride and little did we know.
We regretted it.
That shark scared the 💩 out of me
It was so scary and the way shot out water really scared the living out of me
So would the lifelike Jason Vorhees statue that someone put in a lake count for submechanophobia? Not necessarily an animatronic but it is a manmade item submerged under water. I would legit freak out if I was scuba diving and ran into that 😣
Yeah, it counts. Any manmade item counts including architecture
@@royalblanket it doesn't because it's just a statue, not animated in any way
@@heuuuuuuuuu According to wikipedia,
"Submechanophobia is a fear of submerged man-made objects, either partially or entirely underwater. These objects could be shipwrecks, statues, or old buildings, but also more mundane items such as buoys and miscellaneous debris."
Never mentions animation, and most posts within the community are of boats, stairs, and other buildings. Even statues like the ones at disneyland from the scuba diving attraction
Thank you for giving me the name of this phobia. I used to think I was crazy. Used to have nightmares of a sub coming at me underwater, no bottom in sight or top. I'm soooo glad I have a name for it!
Well done! What an awesome list! I haven’t heard of any of these and I considered myself a underwater animatronic connoisseur. The King Kong gorilla animatronic was jarring 🦍 Just the size alone was terrifying and the water just made it so much worse lol. Also the dark ride Orca literally made my stomach drop
The fact that I think Jungle Cruise is more scary than that Thailand version, is mainly because the Jungle Cruise ride has had too many sinkings for me to want to ride it.
I was always afraid of the Tokken from the Maelstrom ride from Disney. I grew up being afraid of it. Growing up, I was convinced that if I fell down in the water with an animatronic, the lower half wouldn't be gears or the other half, but an eldrich form underneath. I shake at the mere thought of it
1:52 my niece gained her fear if alligator's and crocodiles from this animatronic(one of my favorites)
Idk why I find underwater animatronics so fun! I just think they’re neat!
Years ago, around 1971, was a paddle boat ride in a park called Lagoon in Farmington, Utah. The actual lagoon had carp you could feed and the before mentioned paddle boat ride. Its track was floaties and rope.
When you got to a certain spot, an orange monster would come up from underwater.
Over the years, they just made the orange monster into a statue instead.
Man, that thing about made me terrified about falling into the water as a kid.
Great video as always!!! Keep pumping them out!!!!! Love watching them!
This alligator is, I think it’s a alligator but itself like I was a little kid. I one time we went there. I looked at it and never said that, and I scared the heck out of me
i feel like i'm experiencing deja vu. i coulda sworn this video was just uploaded a day ago lol. in any case, wonderful video as always
I think it might have been a post for the voting poll
@@kooranaad1839 upon coming to the end of the video I realized it was a Fastpass Facts video. Strangely made on the same obscure subject of submechanophobia. what a coincidence!
@@FatherAxeKeeper Fastpass Facts and I work together on a lot of videos. Last year, we both got the idea to cover submechanophobia. They focus on animatronics more, and I also have an interest in them.
@@ThemeParkCrazy yo that's awesome! I quite enjoyed both videos
@@ThemeParkCrazy Your video is definitely better than FPF's imo. Keep up the good content :)
dude i didn't know that the croc at the bottom of the snake slide had a freakin name. That thing scares me still and I'm 15.
I was surprised to see Houston pop up on this list! I rode the shark voyage train years ago and definitely wasn’t expecting the shark jumpscare, but I thought he looked too silly to be scary. Now I understand how being able to see the machinery under him is scary
Omg I just watched the last one XD And this is only my first time watching you,ima sub :3
.....I never knew this fear of mine was an ACTUAL fear.
I have a huge fear of man made objects in the water (that aren't boats)
Honestly I have this phobia and think the same thing most people worry about, being stuck on a water ride and having to be stuck or swim with these animatronics 😳😫😱
I literally JUST watched the previous video an hour ago. I thought it was a re-upload!
The demon slayer cosplayers at 6:26 💕
I was searching to see if somebody else noticed
OMG the Kappa part had me in stitches with how you told the story XD
OMG THE SHARK VOYAGE FROM DOWNTOWN AQUARIUM!! I remember going on that ride for the first time as a kid. If you’re a little kid and it’s your first time on the train, it’s so much fun by the shark animatronic is a complete surprise. The train is advertised as a brief tour of part of the park and of course the shark tunnel like you mentioned. It’s p much the only way to see big sharks at the aquarium. They even have this huuuuuuge saw shark she’s so beautiful.
Anyway, the whole ride is narrated by this automated voice playing on the speakers above your seats. As you enter and sit in the shark tunnel, the voice tells you about all the different types of sharks in the tank. It mentions that they used to have a great white shark, but it escaped after like this flood or something and now they can’t find it. And then the ride/tour is continuing as usual and you think it’s ending and THATS when you get that jump scare of the burst of water and the great white shark jumps out of the water. When I was little, the animatronic looked more like the picture you showed at the beginning, but they’ve updated it since then. I personally think the older version was wayyy scarier, but the newer version has that bright red paint dripping from its teeth, which is actually p dark for how family friendly the rest of the park is. I actually went back to that aquarium and that ride this past august just for nostalgia. I noticed that they’ve updated the great white shark’s escape story too. Instead of it escaping during a random flood, now the story goes that it got out specifically during Hurricane Harvey. It was cute seeing little kids on the train for their first time just like how I once rode it.
Thank you for including the shark train voyage! Made my heart so happy
I remember an attraction with floating buoys in a huge pool, you could drive them it was a ton of fun but the idea of falling on that pool still haunts me to this day lol
This video helped me discover that I have this phobia. Idk why it never occurred to me when I would cry on the Jaws ride at Universal and the Jungle Cruise, while I love it, makes me extremely uncomfortable. Good to know
the only fear i would have with these animatronics is that they malfunction/electrify me lol
6:35 i went to kyoto with my dad and brother for a vacation once. Brother was busy with homework and so me and my dad went out to the studio park because we saw it yestersay and thought itd be interesting to go to.
The dragon is located in the middle of the village portion of the park surrounded by port houses. I remember just walking around and realizing there was something in the water. I was about to yell that somethings in the water, I walked to the back area and it activated abruptly. It slowly emerged from the water and there were speakers playing roaring and snarling noises as it sprayed mist around it as it turned around. Jumpscared the Hell out of me. Me and my dad had a good laugh about it afterwards.
I hate the thought of being in the mossy water with it, but still cool tho.
I love how dramatic these videos are. I don't have submechanophobia and they just kind of facinate me more then anything
The amount of anxiety this video gave me. 😅 I seriously thought I was the only person in the world who was afraid of animatronics in water.
The alligator/woody Bill at the Cleveland zoo was one of my fav things to watch I was so fascinated with how realistic it felt
I haven't been down there in years. I wonder if he still works
The Kong one is the scariest. Imagine been held on to his hand while looking at him closely... I’d die immediately! 😣
Im not scared by any of this but I am amazed about how cool it is, Great Video!
What if in hundreds of years once all these parks and animatronics are abandoned, someone goes swimming in a lake, river, or another body of water and then all of a sudden you run into one of these animatronics under the water. New fear unlocked😳
Good news: I now know my fear of submerged man made items is called submechanaphobia
Bad news: I decided to watch this ;-;
The King Kong one was my favorite!
Light up eyes in animatronics always ruin it for me. Instead of letting my imagination pretend that it’s real, or admiring the artistry, all I can think of is “Why’d the put light bulbs where it’s eyes are supposed to be?”
@@jennycraigadventures3314 I thought the same thing about the eyes! If they did away with the multicolor lights it would be haunting
@@jennycraigadventures3314 For some it helps, but in others it DOES make the effect seem forced.

Bro I can't tell you how awesome this channel is! I'm watching all these vids on my vacation!!!! I live an hour from Cedar Point and feel so privileged!
It has been so long since I have looked at these types if videos. Last time I watches this I couldn't sleep. Facing towards the wall and I didnt want to look behind me. Talk about nightmare fuel

Which time stamp?

Well, at least you gave them some cucumbers to gain its trust
@@ItzKyIe yes
4:28 I love that shuttle/bus!!!
I know
I had actually went to Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium on my visit back to NZ and I'm very happy the dark ride is gone! But the spinning Ice tunnel thing is EXTREMELY trippy! I highly recommend going if you can!
I've never heard that version of the Kappa legend. I've heard of bowing and using cucumbers to escape. But never the soul out the backside.
Also, almost all items on the list gave me goosebumps. Some actually are making me feel sick.
