Evermore Park was so weird, just from videos it seemed like a cross between a LARP and a not very good themepark.

And based on Jenny Nicholson's video, the LARPing is probably highlight of the whole thing but they ended up cutting corners on even that aspect.

In other news, Billiam's new video of him touring the non-Disney tourist places around Orlando actually make me want to go to Florida.

I can tune a fish.
Weirdest drat thing is that I had never gotten around to watching Jenny's Evermore video and then I decided to do so like, yesterday. And then in the recommends was one from two weeks ago that was like "Updates on the Evermore situation" and then the one from two days ago about it being officially closed.

Did the algorithm get into my head somehow.

Edit: Actually now that I think about it, I had watched some of Jenny's old videos like two months ago and then stopped and they only popped back up in the last couple of days, so maybe it kind of did. :tinfoil:

Ok, I'm not going to defend Fray Bentos pies because they're awful, but like... those pickles they start out with are not intended to just be eaten by themselves with a cracker or something. You have branston pickle in a sandwich or with some cheese. And Vegemite isn't British!

From watching all of Jenny's videos about it the whole thing comes across as something with more ambition than money. Like they straight up couldn't afford to do the things they wanted to and instead of trying to do something designed to be in their range they just kind of half assed the more expensive thing.

Yeah, my read on the video is that the owner thought he was rich enough to make his own theme park to compete with modern day Disneyland without realizing that, while he was rich, he was not modern day Disney rich. Opening day 1955 Disneyland kinda sucked with a bunch of cheap bad rides and if he had shot for that instead of a three story explorable ghost pirate ship and animated sea dragon he probably could have done it and tried to build something that would grow into profitability and expand but from his other projects that doesn't seem like the kind of thing he would want to do.

At least you can eat plain yorkshire puddings, putting some branston pickle onto a cracker by itself marks you as an idiot.

Also the owner probably could have spent some of they money on prop graves and statues instead of "importing" them from Europe and had a few bucks left over to make the park more good.

They also disappointed by doing the exact same thing every "american encounters a marmite" thing does; take a substance with an impossibly strong flavour and then just clart a load of it on something and eat it neat.

No! it tastes awful, of course do not do this! it is to be used sparingly, preferably on well buttered toast.

also as noted in that closure video guy spent an ungodly amount of money on stupid poo poo nobody cares about, like importing REAL STATUES instead of just paying some guy to make one, and then refused to pay the actors who are 99% of the parks concept.

I mean didn't the video also state the guy's on record as being an antiques afficionado? Seems pretty clear to me that the park itself was just kind of an excuse for him to go whole hog on his decorating and costuming hobby. It'd at least explain the very weird priorities he seemed to have had al throughout the park's existence.

It's fine.
Don't worry about it.
Evermore is the result of one guy with no practical experience building a theme park, ren faires, organized LARPing, and any business with customer-to-employee relations, etc. deciding he could do all of that because he made his family home into a haunted house every fall.

And all of that is hard as poo poo. I don’t even know if there’s any place that offers those kind of experiences that perfectly protects employees from physical and mental harm or has managed to maintain the quality of the themed world. Like look how Disney fumbled so much of the execution of their star wars land and that dumb hotel.

His Grid VR maze business is a far better idea that even Disney licensed. Yet somehow he didn't make it part of Evermore.
