As it turns out, I pronounced "Terminus" horribly wrong. Apologies to Walking Dead fans. But let's just say I called it "Ter Minus" on purpose as a pun to emphasize its "F Minus" scenery lol. I also accidently used footage from the Hollywood version of Earthquake while referring to the Orlando one, mainly since I couldn't get usable footage of the Orlando one on short notice.

Terminus cant even be classified as a dark ride. That’s brighter than my phone’s flashlight!

Terminus is SO FUNNY to me like,, they couldn’t even put forth the effort to draw on the walls or something. They literally just threw together a box and called it good.

"The skeletons are back, and Garfield is nowhere to be seen..." is simultaneously hilarious and ominous out of context.

Honestly I knew Terminus was gonna be #1 before I watched this video. The only thing scary about that ride is how many people were lined up to go inside it. smh

That Terminus ride made me actually laugh out loud. What the hell

That T-Rex with the unhinged jaw is equal parts rad and terrifying.

That gorilla jumpscare would scare the living sht out of me 😭😂

Terminus is like one of those dark rides you'd make in roller coaster tycoon 2

I love falling apart animatronics, they're just fascinating to me.

The real horror in Terminus is the prospect of being microwaved by the Venus-like heat radiating from its featureless aluminum walls

"Earthquake The Ride" scared me so much I had my eyes closed through most of the ride. My mom had to tell me what happened after we got off.

14:42 The way he said “There is no f**king scenery” cracked me up!😂

I skipped through the video to see if Terminus was here because it showed up at my local fair, and I can assure you that it is the dumbest thing in the world. The outside looks so nice and like you're gonna get a nice, well themed traveling dark ride, and then I just find myself in a burning hot box. Literally, it had to be at least 120 degrees F in there

"They could have just called this ride 'boo, haunted earthquake'" I see that Angry Videogame Nerd inspiration

The way terminus just said "How much effort do you wanna put into this ride?" "no❤"

My family recently went to Tennessee, and I passed by Earthquake. Remembering the ride solely from this video, I really wanted to ride it and had my heart set on it for the whole week. I ended up paying $24 for two children's admissions, but personally, I think it was worth it. Sure, the scenery is really random, but I think that it's charming in its own little way. It's oddly terrifying because everything is so dang loud, and while the chairs are creaking back and forth, literally everyone is screaming at the top of their lungs. All in all, it's a great ride, and I'd give it 4 stars. 👍

well i guess number 1 is literally just a dark ride

Vin Diesel being the same height as a helicopter always cracks me up

As someone who's ridden the Jurassic Jungle Boat Ride in Tennessee this year (2021), the charm of the ride was incredible. There were some animatronics that weren't working, such as the one in the water and the unhinged jaw dino at the end, and some animatronics had even been moved around. The ride layout is pretty short, but there's so much to experience in such a short layout. The boat will stop and go and you'll be surrounded by dinosaurs. Some will pop out, some will run up to you. All in all, I love this ride and the 20$ fee to ride (17.99) is totally worth it. It's a piece of living history.

Man, my uncle worked on superstar limo when it was in development. He was an imagineer, said he ended up helping create set up some of the props too. He literally cringed talking about it and said it definitely wasnt his proudest moment. But in turn he was an architect at the park so thats really cool :))

#8 looks very much improved by the fact that the dinosaurs are falling apart tbh, actually makes them scarier

Just wanted to say thanks for including an epilepsy warning beforehand. My nephew has severe epilepsy, and one episode can set him back weeks, so we’re very appreciative of creators who are considerate of this. 👍🏻

From what I’ve heard about Terminus, it’s basically, just an old mousetrap/pretzel style funhouse ride that someone stripped, and painted black.

Terminus was originally supposed to have a large amount of zombie actors which fell through after actors weren't payed. It was supposed to be a permanent haunted hayride type of thing where park management would decorate. Instead of doing this they put people through the big metal box

Pretty sure a buddy and me rode that Terminus thing at the fair when we were kids. During that S turn section our car derailed and started shorting out the tracks and arcing and spraying sparks out everywhere. It was pretty exciting until the showman came over and just had us walk out. Lol.

To be fair, Terminus still features more scenery than most Ghost Trains people make in Rollercoaster Tycoon.

Terminus is incredibly nostalgic for me. It was one of my first (technical) dark rides, and, even though it wasn't very good, it did somehow spark my love for them.

I suddenly realize how lucky I am to grow up within short driving distance of Disneyland, Magic Mountain, Knotts, Legoland, and even Seaworld.

I love dark rides! Yes, the Old Mill was ruined when they did the Garfield overlay. I remember riding the Old Mill back in the 1980s when it was still a haunted dark ride. So glad to hear that Kennywood finally brought it back last year. Hard to believe it’s 120 years old.

The only interesting thing about “Superstar Limo” is some of the animatronics were covered and used for the Monster’s Inc. ride 😊

I personally LOVE Figment as he is now. I see the childlike mischief in him as he gets into everything and is constantly told no but continues to do what he wants, when he wants to and doesn't listen because he's having too much fun. That's exactly how a child behaves.

I went on terminus with one of my friends and we had so much fun on it because it was just us turning around the corners really fast and my friend almost fell off at one time LMAO

"On the left we have some random guy laying on a bench" I mean, sounds like the LA metro to me.

Funny story: The day we got married, my wife and I decided to go on the Jurassic boat ride in pigeon forge. We already knew before we bought tickets that it was gonna be a laughably enjoyable ride. I really wish they would renovate the animatronics.

13:00 Either that's a tiny helicopter or a giant Vin Diesel

“Inspiration falls, more like inspiration walls.” Had me wheezing

“brer rabbit’s (audible sigh) HAPPENIN PLACE” is possibly the funniest thing i’ve ever heard

Garfield's Nightmare was a truly weird ride. Around the time it opened, Garfield became a temporary "mascot" for Kennywood alongside Kenny the Kangaroo. Garfield characters were depicted on park merchandise, Garfield-themed murals appeared in the park, and if I remember correctly, the park even had an actor walking around in a Garfield costume. All of that stuff fell by the wayside within a couple of years, but the Garfield ride remained, completely incongruent with everything else in the park.

You brought back a ton of memories mentioning the fast & furious ride lmao. When I rode that abomination I don't remember seeing a single person who I rode with that looked like they enjoyed the ride even a little bit.

I remember being SO excited as a kid to go on the Luxor boat ride and then so disappointed after I asked my parents when it was over in like disbelief “that really it???”

"THERE IS NO **HONKINK** SCENERY!" lmao im dead

I wasn’t expecting him to say something to the affect of “if there’s something missing from Disney, it’s a rabbit getting sh*t-faced and taking a dump”.. I literally laughed out loud at that one 😂🤣😂

That part about the worst dark rides having their fans struck home with me after you put Garfield's Nightmare on there. Having grown up in PA in the 90s, I loved the Old Mill. It was definitely the superior ride, without a doubt, and was historical just like the ride it sat next to near the entry way. However, I couldn't control them removing it for Garfield's Nightmare so I just enjoyed that for what it was. It always helped that I watched the cartoon a lot growing up and really love the character and cats, but I never felt it was totally awful. So to see it make it in the top 10 kind of opened my eyes to how much else is wrong with it. Some of which isn't the ride's fault but the ride that it replaced and the history that was destroyed for a generic mascot dark ride. For all the dark rides, Garfield's Nightmare made it on your worst list and I totally understand that sentiment while also always saying that I enjoyed and liked Garfield's Nightmare. In many ways, I'm sad it's gone and that the Old Mill returned. I haven't been back to Kennywood since they replaced Garfield but I expect to love the new Old Mill even if I'm sad Garfield is gone. I will always have love for Garfield's Nightmare, in spite of me now seeing more clearly why it was so hated.

"... and this... thing." Perfect description. xD

Years ago, I went on a dark ride at Captain Spaulding’s Horror Museum, Gas Station, and Fried Chicken. The fried chicken was great, gas was reasonably priced, but the dark ride he had was pretty mediocre. Just a silly tourist trap, but I admire the little guy, Ravelli, for having the strength to push the cart through the whole dark ride even with all of the passengers in it.

I waited an hour to ride Garfield's Nightmare for the memes and I don't regret a second of it.

I’m glad I actually found someone who knows what that fair ride was and that it’s awful. Like 5-4 years ago, me and my family went to a fair and found that same ride, but it was completely rebranded to The Waking Dead. So me and my dad got on it, him being a big Walking Dead fan, and needless to say he was disappointed.

Dark rides used to terrify me as a kid, and they still do as an adult. I remember this one that was in a stripmall parkinglot fair when i was really young. It was ocean themed. I dont like things that lurk under water. Things with tentacles creep me out… My brother dragged me onto the ride, And oh lord. The rest is a blur of me peeping through my fingers while squinting. I just remember being very uncomfortable seeing what i did manage to get a glimpse of, and dim green lights

“What happens if you take (insert big name attraction) and make it with 10% of the budget?” Is how to describe most of Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge (which is why I love those places)

Watching this while drinking tea. Gotta love Garfield’s Nightmare on a kitsch level though.

Oddly enough, I have chronic nightmares about being a little kid and being forced to go on a really junky looking dark ride, and I'm always terrified because I know the creepy animatronics are real somehow. I remember looking into the black, soulless eyes of a purple dinosaur and screaming YOU CAN'T BE REAL!!!! Fun stuff.😳

14:37 I don't know why, but the set up and the delivery of those two lines made me laugh SO much harder than it should of.

Looks like Terminus owners spent the entire budget on the façade.

I’ve seen some strange stuff on the NYC subway, but a passenger slapping, jump scaring gorilla is a first for me.

As a lifelong Pittsburgh area resident who grew up going to Kennywood every summer, I’m glad I got many years experiencing classics like the Old Mill and Noah’s Ark, before major changes happened. I was so happy they brought back Old Mill. Now if only they also reconstruct the Turnpike ride I loved as a kid, always was my first one every time…and would be cool if they restored the Kennywood train ride to its former state but that’s just my feelings. Hoping they never change the Merry Go Round. I know they have to add and subtract some things to stay relevant but so much of what makes Kennywood so special is it’s traditions and the classic hometown amusement park feeling.

I think my favorite bad thing about Fast & Furious supercharged is that they couldn’t get the whole cast into the studio at once, so the cast was filmed individually and then digitally added to the scenes. 🙃

I remember being a kid at the fair riding a dark ride with the same layout as Terminus, but it was full of effects and terrifying. At each turn there was a jump scare or effect.

Fast and Furious: Supercharged should be renamed Projection Screen: The Ride.

That rabbit isn’t scary he just looks like he’s contemplating his life

I've been to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge about a dozen times and I can thankfully say I never rode Earthquake or that Jungle/Dinosaur ride. They are blatant tourist traps and are super expensive too! It's pretty easy to point out the lame rip-offs from the really fun stuff to do there. It's a great vacation destination. Dollywood is awesome!

The vest part about the “metal box” dark ride is when they decide to add random loud sounds...

Please note: This list was based on a viewer poll. Some options like Monstars of Rock just missed the top ten, even though I'd personally put it in the top five. I'll see how I can discuss it in a future video.

I still remember going on something similar to Terminus and it literally had a witch "jumpscare" and a Halloween decoration of a Ghost with a Boo under it 🤣

There used to be a ghost train in Southport, UK, which was basically just a shed with lights which came on as the car came past a skeleton or a witch. But this meant that you could see the other cars lighting up ahead of you, so any jump factor was completely cancelled out. It was so bad it was good, much like the one you showed from south Shields. It was about forty years ago, so I hope it’s been taken down now!

I felt the "PISSED. OFF!" in my SOUL when talking about Figment and the Journey into Imagination ride

the last one was me building stuff in rct3 as a kid, sorry guys

I was fortunate as a grade schooler to take a field trip to Epcot in 1983. I recall the Journey into Imagination ride vividly, and it was amazing.

I use to love the Imagination ride at Epcot, but then when it changed I remember crying and being afraid of the dark tunnel train part. Great job Disney, you made a child go from loving a ride to terrified of a ride and crying.

I'd love to ride Terminus just for the experience of being boiled alive in an aluminum box

Can you do the top ten worst flat rides?

3:52 hahahahahahah, yeah I’m an adult and that ride was terrifying the lights were all off when we road it and the boat got stuck in the middle of the right in the pitch black.

I have to say, Jurassic Jungle Boat Ride has been one of my favorites for years.

I was like "they probably won't mention my local amusement park, garfield's nightmare" LMAO I have been on it many times not by choice it is so so very bad-

As someone who has grown up and still living here in East Tennessee, there’s a helluva lot more fun things to do here besides the Earthquake ride and the Jurassic Jungle ride, like watching grass grow.

My family did the earthquake ride at Wonderworks in Pigeon Forge and both times I had an excuse to not get on. My first time I went in the buildings effects (visual and audio) gave me a severe anxiety attack. When I went through the inversion tunnel, the floor went sideways and I began to panic thinking it was real. The second time I had to use handicapped entrances because my leg was broken

I went to the Jurassic Park boat ride in pigeon forge when the ride worked absolutely phenomenally. My little brother actually had nightmares from the creepy animatronics that I actually loved and laughed at. It’s disappointing and sad to me to know how bad of shape it’s in now.

_You can’t go wrong with a new Theme Park Crazy video_

Fast and Furious is actually my least favorite ride anywhere. It is inappropriate, beyond boring, and simply impossible to enjoy. At least the King Kong ride has cool theming. Universal is my home park and I really hate this ride.

The haunted castle ghost hunt reminds me of that one episode of The Simpsons where they go to a carnival haunted house and it just underwhelms in so many ways.

With the last ride. It almost looks like you are suposed to wear VR glasses on the ride.

I was a tour guide on the Nile River tour many many years ago. You actually have it backwards. The intent was originally just to move people around the hotel and so there were loading docks built but never used in each of the ride sections. Then when the hotel opened they thought "why not turn it into another attraction and they added the tour guides and charged per person for a complete tour of the outskirts of the hotel. So all of the decorative stuff that really was never intended to be more than decorations not became stuff that the tour guide was to go on about, as well as discuss the Legends in Concert show that you go by and the coffee shop (which you see in the footage). The last section of the ride was the most exciting and also confusing if you went with the official script (I was the only one who stayed with that part that I know of). In the original version of the hotel there was a big obelisk that shot up through the center of the hotel which was seen on the attractions (ride) level that was like their midway and family friendly area. They tried to be like Disney and have a story behind the hotel that story is that there was supposedly an archeological dig on the land where the hotel sits and they uncovered that giant obelisk. On the obelisk were the instructions telling them to build the Luxor hotel. So they built the hotel around that giant obelisk that somehow managed to be buried beneath the dirt yet reached about the 5th story in the hotel. The full story would only be kinda figured out if you went on all three of the upstairs attractions (i only did two because on training day one was broken, which was quite often). I would tell the final portion of the spiel with complete seriousness and get enjoyment when a few people actually showed looks of confusion and like i lost my mind. Normally by that point most people tuned the boring spiel out. And jokes of "its all fun and games until Horus loses an eye" having the boat yell "throw me a steak" to the restaurant, had was not working through that section since there really was not much else until the waterfall. Which that was the big climax was that the boat headed straight to a waterfall which "magically" turned off as the boat is just about to get wet. (god that ride was bad) Another of the attractions had live actors originally, but they had already been removed by the time I worked there in 95. I a month before working there They had made plans to shut it down and turn it into a real dark ride, although that never happened and the hotels realized that wierd trend of early 90s Vegas where everything was a theme park came to an end by the late 90s. I actually only lasted working there about two months. I was performing in the parades at Disneyland and I then moved to Vegas for a gig that ended up falling apart. So I took that position and it was boring as hell. I started in July - Sept. I left when the school year started and my nasty boss scheduled me to work despite the schedule change I submitted. So I quit. Although I did make a friend who I still am close with, so it wasn't all bad. Its amazing to see that footage though.

The Terminus ride looks really similar to a dark ride at a local-ish park my family used to go to at the end of every summer! this one was decorated, however, and somehow the carts were big enough to cram two 17yos in together for us to ride at the same time. pretty impressive, now that I think about it. I don't want to state too many details about the park itself but there was a long stretch of track where people would put their chewed gum, and it actually became a selling point for the ride...

13:40 “died in a limo crash while evading the paparazzi” so we were told by the royal family...

"There is no fucking scenery!" 🤣🤣🤣

I just want to thank you for the epilepsy warning, it means a lot. I wish more channels would do that

4:43 Is it just me or does that pterodactyl seem as if it could pass off as the pterodactyl ghost?

Having visited the South Shields ghost train only a week ago - I can confirm that it has since had a design overhaul (on the outside). It now looks quite scary on the outside, with the carts having been changed to matte finished Jeeps without guns. It's still terrible!

The Terminus are basically just my attempt at making a dark rides in rollercoaster tycoon

I went on F&F supercharged. It is so bad it's hilarious. One thing to note: it was the only "ride" in the park that had no line. That says something.

Christ, I'm grateful to know The Old Mill was returned to what it was. What's a shame is that they did the same to Noah's Ark too in that park. As for Journey into Imagination- I remember both versions.. and man, I couldn't agree more. I was so pissed off at the lackluster attempt at a revamp.

My dad looked heartbroken after riding journey into your imagination for the first time. I remember he came off walked up to the first cast member he saw and said "it is a sin what you guys did to that ride, it use to be a work of art and you replaced it with a toilet on the celing"

I’m glad Empire of the Penguin isn’t on the list. I actually kind of like it. Riding in one of those automatic vacuum cleaners is somewhat fun.

I just like how you pronounced the last one as "Ter-minus" rather than "Ter-minnis" like I expected. It goes so well with your description of what a crappy ride it is.

I think this is one of my favorite KZfaq videos ever! Definitely top 10

The south Shiel’s dark ride feels like every single back alley British scary ride. Compared to America and a lot of other places, we don’t have that many big theme parks, and a lot of our rides come from beach parks, that usually have about 5-10 fairground rides in a small area. The dark rides however were usually unique. They weren’t all the same, and always seemed jumbled together in different ways. Every time you had no idea what would be inside, and a lot of the time there were no clues whatsoever. It was kinda exciting to go in, not knowing what you’re gonna see. They usually amp them up around Halloween, but during a mid May is the best time to see them in their usual working order. Terrible in all the good ways, and always a surprise.

9:29 Fish sticks? Not in the UK, they're called Fish Fingers here! Also those looke like Virtua Cop guns!

As a regular to Kennywood, I truly miss the old mill. It was actually pretty spooky. It’s a loss to what I consider a really awesome park. I haven’t been to the new old mill yet but I hope to go soon.

As a kid, I used to ride n°5 everytime I visited my grandparents. This ride means a lot to me and definitely marks a period of my childhood. When this thing was installed around 2004, it was the most badass and frightening ride I had ever been on. However, 15 years later, half the props don't even function and the ones that do are held together with duct tape. It suffers a huge lack of maintenance for sure.
