Evermore - Immersive Fantasy Theme Park

[@meganpeveich8407]

“I need to find a clan that doesn’t require any actual skills.” 😂 This place looks great! They could make a fantastic spooky event here.

[@garrettflores1730]

September and October is their Halloween season. They make it really creepy

[@libbykline3049]

I about died when you said "Well, that kid's dead." This is truly interesting. This park seems comparable to the Holy Land in that it's not about the rides, but the experience.

[@shanesworkshop922]

Nice change of pace from the standard amusement park. Glad you could take a break from the gut churning roller coasters.

[@GreenKarateMonkey]

This place is like a Renaissance festival if they had a budget.

[@LindsayTVFilm]

It's more like a LARP (Live Action Roll Play).

[@MrGigabomb]

Which is exactly what a Renaissance festival is.

[@LindsayTVFilm]

@@MrGigabomb No its not. Even though guests might dress up for a Renaissance Festival, it has no effect on what happens in the world of the story being told. LARPing is kinda what the new Star Wars hotel will be like where people become characters within the world of the store and their actions have an affect on it

[@MrGigabomb]

@@LindsayTVFilm Well, not sure what Renaissance Fests you are going to but every one I have gone to has a story, performers, interactions, etc.

[@LindsayTVFilm]

@@MrGigabomb In a LARP, the people behind and partaking have a role in the outcome. A Ren Faire already has a basic outline, but there are a few examples I can mention where they go off script like when From the Hobbit dressed as Don Juan and Miguel-the real Don Juan and Miguel tag teamed them into Human Chess. That is not normal.

[@englandportugal91]

Looks so relaxing there! All those green areas and everyone dressed in old times clothing! Thanks for sharing! Take care!

[@gillygillyyt55]

Well that was a mixed bag 🙂

[@r.e.barnes1168]

Made it fun lol

[@Purplesubmariner]

Hey! That's me there at 16:35! I was Luigi attempting a Boffer tournament XD Back before I really knew what I was doing, and before I crafted my own themed sword and shield. I would frequent the park as Luigi, and sometimes when my friend could join me she'd come as Mario. It started as a gag, but kind of became a tradition and we always had a great time. I really miss the park of old...

[@Mischiefwitch1]

I love Evermore, the actors will get to know you. The quest are immersive, and if you go in character it adds to the experience. During Covid they have been keeping with social distancing and sanitizing stations throughout the park.

[@Zarozzie]

Jenny Nicholas’s video brought me here. She did a 3 hour video about this place.

[@michaelkoga2541]

I was hoping you visited Evermore. It's on my bucket list. Note to self: start archery lessons.

honestly it just takes a few shots to get used to it, not that hard.

[@hails510]

This is during the day, we just went the other week and the whole park was packed at 6. There was a line of at least 200 waiting to get in when the park opened. Once it get dark people are more involved, especially during Halloween

Halloween is very fun at Evermore especially for the vampires,goblins and witches that walk around the park you can interact with them but beware of the witches and goblins cause they like to take things from you as a show I only been there twice and it happen to a friend of mine they got the item back.

That is the oddest collection of larpers, costumes, bad accents and animals. Some cool buildings at least which makes me wonder how such a place came to even exist. There's a wealthy nerd in Utah who built their dream playground.

[@ShiningSakura]

I felt the same way watching this. I had been wondering if I should check this place out... I will give it a few more years to bake in the oven and see if it is less campy. Mountain man rendezvous events seem a bit more professional and fun to step back into time. This seemed awkward and everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Larping is definitely not for me as it weirds me out a bit.... I know that that community is alive and well in Utah from what I hear.

[@mikedavies9379]

[@BlakeBlackstone]

FOCUS on that monitor lizard!

[@isaakleblanc2518]

That is actually a Tegu Lizard. We own an Argentine Tegu. They are native to South America in the Amazon rainforest. As the name goes they're from Argentina,Paraguay and Brazil. They are omnivores. They need a diet of Fruit,Vegetables and Meat. They're actually really good pets if you get to know them. They're very smart lizards. They are mistaken for Monitors because they share a similar Evolutionary Niche. They're not related to Monitors at all suprisingly enough.

[@mattyl1735]

This place is AWESOME!

[@abbyboyd5111]

I'm sorry Carpetbagger but you were obviously bored there. I don't think you knew what you were getting into. They want you to be a part of the world. You need to explore to discover the ongoing story. They have new stories every season. You should interact with the actors, complete quests and learn the lore. I'll admit this isn't for everyone. But, if you play rpgs and go to Renaissance festivals chances are you'll love this. They do want to expand the park and have good plans for it. But, if I'm being honest I really don't know if they will last. I just don't see them making a profit. Partly because of the niche market and partly because of its location. But, it is an amazing idea if they can find some way to keep a consistent profit from it. Dont get me wrong I do appreciate you going there and showing us around. I would suggest going again with a character in mind and immerse yourself as your character into the world they created. Just my two cents worth (twenty dollars due to inflation). Once again thanks for going. It is appreciated.

[@abbyboyd5111]

@Mando Halrissian like i said it's not for everybody. Though i appreciate your opinion and you have every right to have that opinion, how about you act a little more like an adult and alot less like an asshole.

Only in certain counties and Utah County is not one of them but I am very surprised the employees don’t wear them either. Most businesses in Utah County require you to wear a mask to enter.

[@StickySauce101]

concept is there but it requires a little work - they should probably decide whether they want to go medieval fantasy or civil era fantasy - or do what Disney did and have different areas devoted to each.. take some tips from Efteling (I know not comparable due to budget restraints but still.. even Walt took inspiration from Efteling in how to make a fantasy-themed park). Also noticed they didn't promote much in way of social distancing and masks, which could be solved easily - for example they could have kings and queens who interact with guests (and thus explain why you'd keep a distance "in-universe") - have knights and whatnot who wear masks (if they went for civil era have cowboys wear bandanas).. plenty of ways to make use of masks and distancing while also keeping it fun.
