Evermore Park preview

Salt Lake City resident here, I corroborate this.

Gunther Huettlinger

The Theranos sponsorship of Ripper Cove should have been a dead giveaway.

Could you imagine living somewhere promoting a big theme park based expansion and you see Jenny Nicholson filming content in your front yard? You’d be crushed.

T. Fazekas

@Jenny; it may be fun to mention that the CCO of Evermore at the time of the park opening was himself a former Disney Imagineer

Taycen Timothy

Evermore?! More like Nevermore. It's not often these days that one can use a Poe inspired put down.

Mr. Creosote

Thanks, that works!

They've all moved to a new channel (with playlist embedding disabled) but you can still reach them here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/ramble-video-48198277 (Or click on Jenny's name at the top of any post and the masterlist is pinned to the top)

I have all the ramble videos and other patron only videos in a list on my Youtube channel (a private list). Lately it seems that all of them are now private and I can't view them except the most recent one. Has anyone else experienced this? There are a few rambles or other Patreon exclusives (like the MLP song) that I like to go back to but can't seem to access them anymore.

Michael DeBellis

Hopefully they paid the royalties to use it.

Stephen Gillie

did they straight up use a Thomas Kinkaid painting to illustrate the English garden? they're all kinda in that style but I swear that one looks like it might actually BE one

Tech is massively toxic from this, with Shark Tank on one side and CryptoCoin/Tesla Stock on the other, and in the middle is a forest of side-projects trying to turn into the next DuckDuckGo or TikTok. "Your day job is just building someone else's dream and making them rich" is a common sentiment. So is "everyone's getting rich except you, bro." Sites like Ycombinator's HN are cesspools of racist and misogynistic mansplainers remaking the world from "first principles" by worshipping at the altar of Elon Musk's cofounders at PayPal. Whole other sites like n-gate have developed to give catharsis to those of us in recovery from that toxicity. Drug and alcohol use is encouraged for performance-enhancement - use cocaine or sativa cannabis to write code and alcohol & indica cannabis to sleep. And this multiply-toxic behavior is cultivated to optimize professional output. Every employer "has a drug-free workplace policy" but nobody tests except Nintendo. But yeah this guy sounds like "Elon Musk for Theme Parks".

They could hire Jenny to do their marketing and demistify their product line for customers.

Stephen Gillie

Already learning way more than I ever knew about Evermore from this preview. I had no idea those VR experiences were the same person behind Evermore. I do remember however the project going through the "gardens" version of the pitch. That's the first version of their website I remember seeing and was super confused because I was googling it thinking it was a theme park. I'm glad you're connecting the dots since finding the answers to my confused questions was a bit beyond me at the time.

I wish this video came out before we took our summer vacation to Bedrock City! Now I know where we’re going next year!!

I remember when the advertisements for this started coming out. And it looked so so cool and I really wanted to go. The idea of basically having a gigantic LARP session with strangers just seemed totally up my alley.

Rachel Sassafras

The link to watch on YouTube doesn’t do anything when I try to select it

Aramis Calcutt

Maybe the English Garden recreates London in the 1970s

Jerry Nicholson

The backstory is already crazier than I expected, I love this. But I will spend my day haunted by questions as to what, precisely, is the difference between "English Garden" and "Victorian Garden," how are those not the same garden, how did the Blue Sky phase of garden development settle on those two, what happened.... Then later, when darkness sets in and all is quiet... my mind will drift back to morbid dread about what the "bathroom experience" would have been.

Dan Gibbins

I really think a lot of these tech bro millionaires are guys that got lucky with a good idea. But because they made a ton of money suddenly they decide they are business geniuses. But often, like with this guy you soon see the difference between a got lucky once millionaire compared to the likes of Walt Disney who have a vivid imagination but actually knew how to turn it into reality.

Kyle Williams

Aragog has the most expressive eyes!

Luis

Do what you want because a pirate is free.

Stephen Gillie

Wow - sounds like this guy bought the property from California without even traveling out east to Utah. Can't wait to see the whole video.

Stephen Gillie

I have a vague recollection from one of her Ramble videos that she doesn't do it because she thinks it's disfavoured by the algorithm. Wouldn't have occurred to me either but, as you say, we're not the experts.

Kav

Yeah, I’m getting that too.

Chelsea Clark

Is anyone else getting a video unavailable error message? It’s 8:45am est on June 27th *shrug*

Devin Beliveau

YAYYY so excited n_n

Getting an error that this can only be watched on YouTube

Aramis Calcutt

Best thing to wake up to!!

Will

I love the level of detail Jenny crams into these videos; you find yourself being drawn into the subject matter more than you think you'll be at first. It also adds a lot of rewatchability, as there's always something new to focus on during subsequent viewings. Excited for the full video!

Rushka Unverricht

I'm so hyped for the full video!

Ellie Holly

That was an amazing preview! Really looking forward to this deep dive. Also the look is really cool and the “vlog” style inserts very refreshing!

Mimosa

Have you ever considered serializing your uploads into part 1, part 2, etc? I know nothing about YT minutiae so for all I know it could be a bad thing for your channel but its just something that occurred to me

Aaron Fontes

Super excited about this, I had wanted to go a few years ago but even the website it looks a lot different now than what I remember seeing. Can't wait to get all that sweet, sweet theme park history!

Theresa

I kind of love this guy’s attitude about Pirates of the Caribbean. You just know he has a much longer rant about not being able to get off the ride and explore.

AppleSnaps

I just noticed the flower crown on Aragog 🥺

Haley Fichter

Easily digestible!

Carl Sage

As a fan of the novels myself, I recognize fellow readers of the 'Dream Park' series when I see them (immersive VR, high tech storytelling and role play, etc). Too bad that - based on the video so far - it looks like they couldn't engage in any selectivity or focus.

Carl Sage

I've never been to a theme park, but this preview makes this one sound really fun. Next time I get some vacation time, I'll have to sit around and fantasize that it exists and I can go there.

Citizen Calmar

This is so tantalising! Can't go wrong with a story that begins with an eccentric millionaire with a pet project.

That guy is really proud of the idea that you're gonna get off the boat.

Bryan Sutton

lol that top hat guy was sort of aggressive also lol that hotel window I can't wait for the rest it's really great so far!

Luis

I'm excited!

Alx Windsar

I'm so excited! That preview left me so on the hook for more.

James Lacey

Mine too!!

Aurora

I've never even heard of Evermore Park so I wanted to look it up but had to stop myself. I'm so excited to hear about this for the first time

This means my first YouTube credit is coming!

Tiffany Clark

Numbered lists!
