The ferryman one kinda made me feel sadness. That sculpture holds so much meaning to somebody who’s struggling with depression but yet unlike the ferryman they won’t give up the fight

“Submechaniphobia is not limited to animatronics” I think they’re gonna run out of animatronics to cover guys. I knew this day would come but I didn’t want it to be so soon. Love the videos.

La Machine have a very interesting style. Where most Animechanics would try to hide their mechanical pieces to make their props look real, they have ALL of their mechanisms front in center in what looks like a stylistic choice as well as a means of giving the machines extra fluent motion. A full video on these artists would be SO cool.

My submechanophobia is triggered by technology suddenly appearing, the entire thing not being fully visible leading to me imagining the rest

I think hippo animatronics are significantly more unsettling compared to sharks/alligators/crocodiles... These were all great picks for today's video!

SOMEONE GIVES US A SUBMECHANOPHOBIA HORROR MOVIE!!!!

You know what’s scarier about the Ferrymen’s End at 9:48 the thing it represents “a loss of connection with the outside world coming as a form of depression” that genuinely scares me cus as of now I’ve been really cut off from the world around me and have in fact dealt with depression from it… hearing its story and the fact it’s meaning is something I relate too gives me this primal fear. As though I’d one day turn to stone.

honestly as an artist, it's been a lifelong dream of mine to create a submerged/semi submerged animatronic, because i find the art of it super interesting yet horrific. I love your videos by the way, i always get excited when i see you guys post

Would love a video on La Machine. Those look incredible. Also 'The Bather' triggers my megalophobia... I hate it 😭

Do I, someone with megalophobia, wanna watch this at half 1 in the morning or do I wait when it’s light and I’ve had a good nights sleep… (clicks play button). Not gonna lie, the animatronic animals one is neat. It’s the human ones that have me hiding in the comments.

Currently watching this with my wife and I had to come on here and say that we both want to see a video on La Machine.😝

Would I go swimming with an Orca for money. In a word - no. In a longer word - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

“Would you swim for 5 minutes with the orca?” Absolutely not. I wouldn’t even stand in front of it outside the ride vehicle let alone be inside the water with it.

Giantess taking a bath in the lake, love it 🙌🏻🙌🏻

I never thought I'd see Enchanted Forest on this channel and it's great to see my home town get some love.

Fun-Fact; 'Mee-Shee' is far from the only "Nessie"-inspired movie the Creature Shop has been involved in! They actually did TWO "Nessies" for the 1995 TV-movie 'Loch Ness', starring Ted Danson and Ian Holm. And also the Scylla -monster for the 1998 'Odyssey' -miniseries on Hallmark. ; )

Walt is so cute! 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆

just discovered and was binging ur other submechanaphobia videos recently! so excited to watch this vid now (even if i may have unlocked a new fear lol recently)

Idk why but the giant woman in the lake gave me a weird chill down my spine

While this one isn't an animatronic, a really cool mention should've been the Jason Voorhees station that is sitting at the bottom of Crosby mine pit/Lake Pleasant

I once dreamt about a giant animatronic that was basically a gigantic elephant, but it was operated by Chaos Dwarves from Warhammer Fantasy. If you know, you know.

Would absolutely love to see more La Machine!!! Such intriquet creatures!!! Would love to see more of their machines

I find it a but sad to see such old parks being abandoned and things either rusting over time, broken and falling apart or nature growing over them, why do people not take them away for scraps instead of leaving them there? In a way that's kind of dumping is it not? Also it's nice to see too that people should restore these animtonics too for future generations to see. Finally cute Walt Plushie, I want one. Quack 🦆

Idk how one even gets submechanophobia but I realized I had it when I first played subnautica way back when. I didn’t care about the depth and darkness of the water, nor the hostile creatures like the reaper or warpers, but when I had to go to wreckages and the aurora i was FEEBLE. I even get uncomfortable going back to the life pod. Irl I get uncomfortable just being near any “vents” in pools, or those inflatable obstacle courses

6:09... i have gone to the enchanted forest so many times when i was a kid. I absolutely loved it there. At that young age, i wasn't afraid and didn't find anything creepy there. I just remember the good memories i had. I am so happy that they restored most of it and future generations can enjoy seeing it as much as I did back in the 70s.

I'd be terrified of walking past The Bather at night

Walt’s voice is great. Sounds like Thackery Binx from Hocus Pocus.

i lived right next to the enchanted forest when i was younger after it shut down !!! on my way home i could still see tents full of old props and things down in the woods, still as scary as ever :0 elioak farm was also a favorite especially during halloween :)

Vandrotten in BonBon Land is still there! I work there and it is fully operational. Although the huge figures have been removed due to poor maintenance of them during the years, but the ride is not closed!

I can tell you why those BonBon candy names are so popular. Kids at the time -- and maybe even still today -- laughed at gross stuff. The "cow b*obs" thing, IIRC, was an example of how, in Denmark, they saw breasts not as an object of s*xuality (sorry for all the censorship, I don't trust RU-vid) but as what they are: parts of the body. Basically, it was supposed to be bodily humor, like how a lot of family media these days seem to make jokes about butts.

The little Toot boat looks like Michael Jackson lol

I also find ships and submarines upset me. I can't even look at pictures of them. I often have nightmares about having to walk past ships. No idea where this fear comes from

That 'Little Toot' tug boat can go over a waterfall 😬😬

little toot was nightmare fuel

I am from Denmark and have visited BonBon-Land quite a lot, the rat coaster in Danish is 'Vandrotten', and has always been there, it's even running today and now, ! Besides that, great video!

You should definitely do a video on La Machine! And it's a good time for that; they unveiled their new Machine few months ago, Lilith or la Gardienne des Ténèbres, for Hellfest. Plus, there will be a new 3 Days long show in the streets of Toulouse featuring her and Astérion, the Minotaur, in october!

Saw the excalibur show when i was really little (i live in Vegas) and i will NEVER forget that experience

I miss the Excalibur Dragon, we never forgot you Murphy! ! His Track is totally gone from the visible moat area now (2024) Not sure if he's still there or not anymore

La Machine deserves dozens of videos. Haha please do one

Their machines look amazing and I would totally love to see a video on them.

Very cool! Thank you for your attention to detail! 💝🐱

One of my earliest vivid memories as a child was at the Jaws ride in Universal Studios FL. I remember being in the boat and pulling into this fake boat garage (I don’t know what you’d actually call it) where it was dark and an enormous animatronic shark coming up right in front of the boat. Now, this ride seemed a hell of a lot scarier as a child and it’s now closed down, but I don’t think I’d be able to ride it again even if it was still functioning. That ride was the reason I have this phobia!! Eeeek!

Not gonna lie here. I'm just barely too young to remember the Excalibur Merlin show, but, with that being said, seeing a recent video where someone snuck into where the dragon is under the bridge scared the hell out of me. Somehow it's 1000x more terrifying with no water anymore and seeing it half rotten. Nope. Big nope.

4:33 Yes. Please do it. Please. 😁🤭🤗

0:25 HES SOOO CUTEEEEEEE!!!! 🦆🦆🦆

Would boat propellers/anchor chains count as submechaniphobia? If they do, that was my first experience with it...

This channel and its lovely host, Walt, put me in such a good mood. It takes me back to my younger years and all the cool parks and attractions we went to. Yesterday’s video featured an attraction I had actually visited at Universal many years ago! Poseidons Fury.

@23:58 reminds me of one of my favorite movies as a kid called Magic In The Water, which I believe was also set in Canada

I just discovered your channel and this is the first video of yours I watched and I loved it! Not only I discovered a new phobia which I never heard of before, but I truly wasn't expecting to see Gardaland featured! As an Italian, you bring me so much joy! Also the duck is the cutest, subscribed ;)

alt just turned into a marketable plushie>>>lore cannon!

THAT PLUSHIE IS SO SO CUTE!

The dragon reminds me of the one the used to be at the west ed mall in the movie theatre I miss him

yeh i'd love a feel video of La Machine's work, i visited the squares a few time as it's in my region and it's amazing, would love a full video about the one behind these beautifull animatronics

Aww, it’s a shame that the attraction I proposed didn’t make it!

I am so, so happy I don’t have submechanophobia.

I vote for La machine

Whaaaaaat? Walt got a YouTooz?! Let’s go🥰

Came here for spooky underwater creepy things. Stayed for The Ferryman's End, and the description about it. Makes me think.

Entered the competition! The plush Walt is so cute!! Another great video!

I am surprised this robot duck does not scare away its viewers at this point

I wish the enchanted forest was still around, I was 4 when it closed so I never got to experience it. I have been to Elioak multiple times to see everything they have there. If you are a fan of the movie Cry Baby, they go to the enchanted forest in the movie.

The Murray Bridge Bunyip from here in South Australia would fit in this list perfectly! There's two versions of it too, both emerge from oily water and screamed at you.

Let me go watch Mee-Shee The Water Giant and be scared as hell! Also that statue of a woman bathing in the lake, NIGHTMARE FUEL! Attack on Titan 🤣😭

I'd do anything to either see or sit on top of Mee-shee, their design always stuck a cord with me and I wish it had a full bodied animatronic

“They are profound works of art.. what does this sculpture make you feel? …HIPPO-“

I would love to see a video about La Machine. I´ve gone to France to see the minotaur and the spider and knowing more about it would be great! There were many figures covered in this video :)

Min 22:37, I remember watching this movie when I was a child and really loving it. I think I should rewatch it at some point to see if I still think it's good, but anyway, thank you for reminding me of it.

I used to love the Excalibur show as a kid, when we used to visit Vegas it was among my favorites 😬 it’s a shame that work of art was abandoned

I love soap and glory products! I was not expecting them to be mentioned here

can you do the croc at the end of splash mountain when it’s pulling brer foxes tail?❤

I don’t have this fear but wtf was that boat 😂😂😂😂😂 , I couldn’t help but laugh . Little toot you said it was called , I wasn’t a boat to have a face. It’s expression is hilarious

Not really submechanaphobic attraction, more of a megalaphobic one, is the Heritage of the Sea display in House on the Rock. Seriously, it's genuinely unsettling to be in the same room as that monstrosity!

15:33 thank you guys so much 🤩

ALSJFJDKS I was truly not expecting the enchanted forest to be mentioned. I live in ellicott city and even the pieces that went to Clark Elioke farm still look fairly run down but that might just be because they always have

Great video as usual! I would love to see a whole video on La Machine!!

Cute plushie! Lmao, I actually do currently have an abandoned animatronic living with me. I took an animatronics workshop at my SFX makeup school in Burbank. We sculpted and fabricated our own animatronics. I wanted to make a clown head and ended up making a huge bust that I ended up not being able to finish. 🤣 The foam latex skin on the stone mold has just been chilling on my desk for months. Hopefully I can finish it so I can put it in my window and confuse my neighbors. Or toss it in a pool to make my own submechanophobia nightmare. 🤡

My fear is not just of submerged objects or whatever, I generally have a huge fear of artificiality, i am terrified of being surrounded by a completely fake environment. Like rides at Disneyland are so scary to me because in so many of them, you are in like a fake cave surrounded by fake rocks with fake plants and fake animals. I guess its just the uncanny valley? But uncanny valley videos dont capture my fear as well as these videos always do. I think submechanophobia is just a more intense version of my fear because something about the water feels like a trap, like if you were to be in the water with the object, then you are kind of trapped with it because water can pull you and slow you down, you cant just run away and you can easily be forced within the proximity of the object. And even though i know those objects are harmless, touching them is my worst fear. Like even just the thought of my toe touching one of them gives me goosebumps, and i know its a stretch but even touching the water that they are in is like touching them.

I always wonder with abandoned-but-excellently-designed animatronics like the dragon from Excalibur, why do they not auction them off instead of having them lie around unloved, unmaintained and taking up space? The buyer could even pay removal and transport. I'm certain there are animatronic/robotics enthusiasts and even those just passionately nostalgic for the show that would gladly buy. Its obvious they're never going to use them again. Why not make a quick buck instead of just . . . leaving them there forever? I think they maybe aren't certain someone would buy them, but someone absolutely would. People pay thousands for all kinds of silly things. And you should never underestimate the dedication of some fans. As someone neurodivergent with a huge amount of passion for animatronics and robotics, if I had the money I would buy the dragon in a heartbeat. I love dragons especially, they're my favorite mythical creature.

Is that a 50 ft human animatronic in the water?!

There also way back in the days like in the real early 2000s and the mid 90s. There were some more obscure films like the water horse and magic in the water. Were the main focus of the films was on a lockness monster like creatures.

K the video is secondary to the REAL awesomeness on display. I NEED that plush. Omfg I love him. How muc- I dont care Im buyin him. Edit: so you're tellin me I CAN'T buy that ducky plush? Challenge to a fight to the death ACCEPTED.

I don’t believe that jumangi ride is the only ride in the world as Chessington world of adventures has a whole section themed on it

Yoooo loving the animatronic duck! I remember seeing it unveiled in a short and I was hoping it would see some use!

Omg I forgot about Mee-Shee😭 I loved that movie growing up!

i have a phobia of people with phobias.. it causes me to smack them involuntarily

Please do that video about La Machine - I am fascinated by their creations, I want to know everything 😅❤️

Ur puppet and sona is so cool wtf!!!! Subscribed :D

idk who did your research but the Ogopogo isnt canadian folklore. Its Native. Specifically the Indigenous Secwepemc tribe. its name literally means "water demon"

Great video FPF! Can you please do a video on Disneyland’s most missed attractions? And also on Disney’s best attraction replacements/rethemeings?

Hi

Gardaland is restoring "i corsari" so we will have a new aquatic monster

Im so high off of weed right now the thumbnail alone scared the shit out of me

What sick bastard decided to put a dead freaking seal in the orca's mouth?!

Honestly after my experience through Jurassic Park river adventure, and seeing it without darkness around it. My fear of mechanical amusement rides are dead like the dodo.

I'm not going to sleep tonight why did I watch this I actually have submechaniphobia I literally curled up crying when I was on Jungle Cruise😭😭😭😭😭😭

DUCKS ARE GOOD BOIS :D

this channel made me realize my other phobia…. but it isnt thhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaat bad!!

BonBon land was my childhood 😭 Denmark isn't Very known to have animatronics in their theme parks Most people Dosen't Even Know what I'm talking About when I Call them animatronics so I have to Call them Robots instead

Cute plushy looks like the ducks from migration
