Evermore preview 2

Probably not in the majority here, but this is actually why I love Universal Orlando. Every time I go, I try to cosplay for the area I plan to spend most of my time in, and the staff never fail to reward me with involved, entertaining interactions. I've been in wand battles with Death Eaters... been behind-the-scenes at the dino-hatcing... and been mistaken for an employee multiple times. Even wearing a birthday pin there was a real treat. Great spot for teens and adults looking for that magic of character interactions that Disney (rightfully) reserves for the kids. In theory, I'd love Evermore, but even the clips of the actors you showed made me *cringe* in a way that Disney and Universal actors never make me do.

EverFraught. I mean... Christ, this is Westworld-level ambition on a Dinoland USA budget staffed by LARPers.

Michael Harle

god this is great. love the "binder full of theme park maps, a totally normal thing to have" i laughed out loud

Conor

I can't wait to see the full thing!!

James Peeler

TyBott was one of my few sources of joy during my tiktok phase of quarantine

Tiffany Clark

Loved the preview! Hilariously though, my dog saw the big spider and began growling and barking every time it was on screen. Doesn’t know how to respect a good plush, I guess.

Imagine visiting Jurassic World during the Running of the Rexes.

Stephen Gillie

That is a good website.

Steve Ray

FOMO? YAGNI! Edit: Yagni and Lacey are the guards outside the tavern. Yagni tells you how Quasifomo is embellishing and it was a lot more realistic. Lacey tells you about cities in WA State.

Stephen Gillie

Fantastic taste, a clear sign of a good upbringing.

They hand you plague doctor bird masks at the gate, the beaks are so long that you physically have to be six feet apart to have a face-to-face conversation.

If I had known you were going to be in the area before I was a patron (lol) I would have recommended Lagoon for a day. It's the largest family owned amusement park in the US, it's just owned by some random Utah family and it has musical entertainment, an authentic pioneer village, and a couple of bizarre haunted dark rides. I spent every summer as a child absolutely refusing to go on Terroride and yet ending up on it anyway. Look at the ridiculous green-face lady on the top right of the banner on this page. This is what horror is made of. http://www.lagoonpark.com/ride/terroride/

Honestly I was picturing what I would do if I were there with my kids and people started screaming and running to the exit and I think I would probably have a full blown panic attack at the least. Did no one say, "hey boss let's rethink" like...at all?

Mouskemeg

My favorite character in the park is the “You Should Have Been Here Last Night” guy. He sits by the entrance and tempers your expectations by regaling you with yarns of the revelry and frolics that occur every time you aren’t there. His name, Quasifomo

T. Fazekas

This is such a good point— and the idea of making a scheduled “big event” happen regularly is so smart. Like, if you’re a family with elderly people or young kids or maybe just want something nice and simple, you would be able to look at a calendar and see which days are normal and go then. And if you’re a teen or someone who wants crazy exciting stuff, you can see on the calendar when that will happen. The “night evermore went dark” could have been a secret scheduled event that maybe was just “rated for mature guests” or something. So they wouldn’t give away the secret, but people could know going in that there was going to be something scary

Sabrina de la Garza

I am super curious on what your experience ended up being. The fluctuation of what you could get is just bonkers.

That 'night Evermore went dark' is the most ill advised thing I've ever seen. After there was a shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival of all places, I don't feel safe anywhere, so I would have been traumatized if I were there. It really doesn't seem that hard to make a say, weekly, monthly, etc schedule of big events so people can at least plan to come to them, and also not be blind sided with terror. I really want to like Evermore as a concept so I am rooting for them to figure it out, but boy.

SweetAlissum

Ohohoho...

Jenny Nicholson

i hate to say it but the sheer random element of the lore reminds me a lot of the way the dream smp operates LOL.

Gussie Ruck

i’m so curious as to what could have possibly gone so wrong that you need lawyers to look over the footage. so far it just seems like a overly complex and poorly executed, although rather intriguing nonetheless, theme park :)

Gussie Ruck

"Ever...fear." Amazing.

flynnparadox

"Wonder what kind of night I'll get" was delightful foreshadowing. Eager to see where that goes.

Dan Gibbins

This is so interesting already! I was genuinely squirming at that final cut to black/cliffhanger! I think this video has high re-watch potential! The costumes are also really beautiful (just wanted to let that be known)

Mimosa

This is so bittersweet. I lived right down the road from evermore when it opened and was still living there for a few years before we moved, and I was so excited to go…but all of my family and friends who went were so “meh” about it. I always meant to go and just never got around to it…I guess I still can because I still live locally but if I didn’t go when I was a two minute drive away I don’t know if it will happen now haha

Mouskemeg

The thing about "previews" in theatre is they've been a standard tradition since...like, the 20's? Because in order to know if a show is working or not, you need an audience to provide a reaction, even if it's an especially negative one. That sort of thing with a theme park is just.....yeah that's not really gonna work (also it used to be standard to open a show outside of New York as a pre-Bway tryout, where the majority of changes would happen, but iirc Spider-Man decided to do its previews all in NYC, which is historically almost always a disastrous move).

Thomas Hartwell

all of this is reminding me a lot of my LARPing days, i had a lot of similar issues with not knowing all of the deep lore and being very confused about what was going on at any given time. All of this seems so so fun in theory and kind of a mess in execution.

Shiny Skunk

Can’t wait to see the whole thing! My 18 month old has been obsessed with hats lately so she loved your hat, and she cheered with you when the gamer lights came on.

Rachel Cook

I’ve seen content on this place and holding it to Disney standards is unrealistic, holding it to Six Flags standards is unrealistic, holding it to the standards of the second-year of an annual regional Ren Faire is unrealistic.

T. Fazekas

When a thing is cursed it’s generally two causes, the first is an innocent child is bedeviled by an evil witch. The second is a unwitting agro-bro dunked on the wrong person. This feels like the latter….

T. Fazekas

I am on tinterhooks to find out why you're being so cautious. So far, it's a very interesting story of a overly ambitious theme park that didn't really pull off the execution, but I just gotta know what happens to make you bring in lawyers.

So fascinating, and it really does remind me of HHN in times past. At least at the Orlando event, there have been elaborate ARGS and website updates to get guests excited about the lore and even existing IP houses were incorporated into one overarching theme under an icon character. But the event still has to work on a "normie" level so people who show up on the day of the event and just want to drink Jello shots and get scared aren't confused. I do wonder if Universal largely phased out these experiences because it was too difficult to manage that kind of multi-layered event at that large of a scale. But seems to me like a park the size of Evermore should be able to pull that off with less difficulty.

AK Barratt

I hope Amazon is paying you for that product placement

Jerry Nicholson

The christmas clips with cast members wearing masks was so jarring

MW

Not gonna lie, as just a concept the evacuating the park as the creatures attack seemed really cool to me. Actually executing it is probably so problematic safety-wise I don't think it could actually be done safely, but the footage had me hype lol.

Sideshow Bob Stepping On Rakes

“Plague comes to Evermore” ‘cut to black’ I hope this is the ending of the actual video

IHateBerwald

That honestly sounds like such a cool concept, from what I've heard the execution is bad but I'm rooting for them tbh

Deanna

While the whole unclear storylines isn’t good for visitors it would be so cool if there was one weekday night only season long passholders could enter and have their own ongoing storylines. And like form their own characters. Just the most expensive dnd / rp group ever.

Spencer Hastings

so what i've learned as a security guard watching these updates is that being a security guard at evermore must be a NIGHTMARE

Julie Adams

Thanks for the update! This is a minor issue but from 2:28 to 2:36 your vocals sound distorted and echo-y, like they're going through a weird sound filter.

Mire

Thanks for all your hard work hope this means you can sneak off to the movies now for a little break!

Luis

The park seems like it should be so much fun, at least conceptually. It's a pity it doesn't look like it lived up to its early promise. And I would definitely be concerned if people at a park started running by me shouting and yelling like in the clips, especially after dark! When Jenny says to laugh after the Lore joke I started half heartedly laughing at the screen. Then when she said "that's long enough", I sort of self consciously shut up lol.

Rushka Unverricht

Great preview and can’t wait to hear about your experience in the park! Wishing the best with the lawyers!

It's been incredibly difficult to not Google anything after you specifically asked us not to, but I'm hanging in there!

Bryan Sutton

Right, perhaps if you were in like the town center as saw the creepy things rolling up and got the whole experience, but as someone on the periphery when that happened? Absolute panic. I was at a park for an after dark event when a fist fight broke out that was enough to get people freaked and clearing an area. Running and screaming? Yeah, that’ll go reeeeeeeeaaaaal well.

Mel Curtis

The worst part is this is something I would likely get really into the lore of if I live close to it, but as someone from the Midwest who would likely only visit once, it’s hard to justify.

Mel Curtis

The _concept_ of this park is so fun, but yeah if I saw a bunch of employees running towards the gates screaming and urging guests to leave, my first thought would not be "Oh boy, a fun, safe, scripted event."

Monica McFadden

I got an embarrassingly long way into imagining the park as a medieval plague village before I realised you probably just mean boring real world coronavirus.

TyBott?! Someone i went to high school with is in a jenny video?!?

Caden Meyer

Sam Penrod is blinking like no other

Caden Meyer

Dang Jenny’s doing the shiny-nose look. I do like it. But it does make me feel old. And I’m 30. The end is nigh.

Reina Woods

Well that was am auspicious ending.

Maeghan

I like to see how previews are doing with monetization standing and the 2nd channel doesn't have monetization capability. But fwiw people don't usually bother leaking the previews, at least not in the same way where they make big playlist compilations (and they probably wouldn't bother since the previews become irrelevant when the video comes out)

Jenny Nicholson

As covered in Part 8: [REDACTED] there's a precedent for the owner filing ill-advised lawsuits, which he might do anyway but I want to make sure I'm not making myself an easy target

Jenny Nicholson

Wait you should probably upload the preview from the cooler jenny channel and not from the main one so it won't get accidentally leaked/public

Yoav Fine

You know a video is going to be REALLY good when lawyers have to look over it beforehand. Looking forward to hearing “allegedly” get dubbed over half the final cut.

Winona Honey

Oooooh can't wait to watch this.

Todd Christiansen

im new to your patreon, are these previews spoilers for the full video? if i dont want repetition, should i wait for the full youtube release?

roses are red violets are blue pickleball is dumb and golf sucks too

i gotta say, i am very expectant for your next video, not based on content or quality, but just because its been a while and i CRAVE you explaining something in great detail that i dont know anything about

roses are red violets are blue pickleball is dumb and golf sucks too
