Happy Halloween Theme Park Crazy!🎃🎃🎃

[@rjrball1227]

Well U Forgot That Carnotaurus Jumpscare Was Added In 2000 Before That Was Added The Jumpscare Was The Asteroid

[@sodziarzz]

Thank you

[@liladjgal1204]

Thank you for your videos! You do an amazing job and I look forward to your uploads

[@jacobcoburn3269]

I actually love the Cat in the Hat ride at IOA. The moment where the Things push a piano onto you is IMO much more startling than their first appearance.

[@Jason0binladen]

I mean spoilers for a ride that's from 1999 isn't a thing

[@ultimatedisneycruiselinefa5112]

Same. I don’t care what anyone says.

[@Melanie_Al]

I love thi Cat in the Hat ride for when you need a little break from the heat or when it’s raining its very cool inside and never long waits so its a chillen ride to take a little break on.

[@DJROCKSTAZ]

I know! I always forget about that!

[@sealy1]

It’s my favorite ride there. I love it.

[@Polarized_Vision]

Honorable mention: The window crashing on Tower of Terror at Hollywood Studios. That thing is incredibly loud and always catches you off guard. And the low-quality amplified speakers add on to the sound. That sound always catches me by surprise and makes me flinch to this day

[@scataplaft]

It is super loud. Lol. Agree.

[@mistlyplays]

I just get scared that the elevator would drop 😭

[@skunkman9815]

That ride looks like a death machine

[@ThePirateprincess23]

I actually don't find the window crashing on Tower of Terror to be incredibly loud at all. Maybe that is because I know that it is coming and I have walked under Superman: Escape From Krypton at Six Flags Magic Mountain so many times (honestly, the launch on that coaster is actually loud enough to shatter glass) 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Mr3dit]

I don’t consider it as a jumpscare

[@1ROCKET-]

The Angler fish scared the absolute shit out of me as a child, I would always cover my eyes at that part lol

[@braxbro7602]

The Hungarian Horntail jumpscare really got me the first time I rode it because up until that point everything is portrayed on screens, I was definitely not expecting a giant dragon animatronic to show up in my face!

[@KaijuForceNeo]

The Giant Spider was the one that got me! Thankfully, I’m no Arachnophobe!

[@braxbro7602]

@@KaijuForceNeo funny story about that, my uncle was on the ride once and it broke down at the part where one of the spiders spray water at your face so he was just stuck there while one of the spiders just sprayed water at him for like 10 minutes lol

[@isabelpompa9051]

@@braxbro7602 I would cry haha that’s funny tho I just would hate being in that position. The spiders, the dementors and the dragon are the worst😫

[@Tobertobee]

When I went on this ride, The Horntail didn’t scare me, the Dementor did. Each time I rode it, I purposely sat in the same seat because my brothers would die laughing because I would curse out the Dementor, my dad even told me My screaming made it more enjoyable.

[@Wickedfan219]

Same here! Also, I may be the only one, but I honestly did not like it whenever the ride would lean back. I honestly thought that I was going to fall off when that would happen.

[@raysouls6713]

Holy moly the dinosaur ride is way more intense than it has any right to be.😅

[@zingkoinko1231]

Which one dinosaurs ones?

[@zingkoinko1231]

There is tons of scary Dino rides out okay?

[@kyle21843]

it used to be even worse but they toned it down slightly due to kids being terrified

[@campbellburnett1259]

@@zingkoinko1231 it’s literally called dinosaur

[@zingkoinko1231]

Disney dinosaurs ride isn’t the only scary Dino ride around you now. You know some people think Jurassic park or Jurassic world is scary.

[@VelocityRides31]

The test track one reminded me of a section of Disney land's Radiator Springs Racers, I remember going into a cave during the ride and then Mack all of the sudden showed up and was right infront of the ride vehicle, scared me as a kid

[@acornheart465]

Radiator springs racers is extremely similar to test track so that makes sense

[@ScoodleNoodle]

I can distinctly remember the angler fish jumpscares making me and my little brother (aged: 5 and 3) burst out into tears since we were so close to the windows. Other riders were not impressed lol.

[@PokemanzMasturAithen]

Not sure which version of Cat In The Hat is more unsettling: the ride or the live action Mike Myers movie.

[@ChibiProwl]

The Mike Myers movie.😌The ride at Islands of Adventure is cute, compared to that thing.😌

[@Spiderific]

Spot on for number one. Been on that ride a few times, and kids scream in horror every single time. It's such a great ride.

[@GanondorfsWife]

I was 17 when I rode it and holy hell. I came off the ride bawling. Mostly because my seatbelt popped off.

[@buttbuttmcgut2377]

As a former kid I can say that I freaked out for a good forty seconds during finding Nemo submarine voyage during the anglerfish scene when I was really little

[@vectorwolf]

Those pop up ghosts in Disney's HM were my nemesis when I was a kid. But they don't hold a candle to the guy in the literal suit of armor that scared the absolute hell out of me once. I only saw him the one time, because that was a very short lived feature, but I lived in fear of that guy turning up for years afterward.

[@andrewschannel4259]

There's one part of Journey Into Imagination With Figment that scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. It's the part where figment says "Imagination is a blast" and then there's a sudden hiss of air.

[@thegovialjiraffe]

TRUE!!! I have no idea why it's SO AGGRESSIVE! 🤣

[@Wickedfan219]

That part still gets me every time I ride that ride! I would also immediately cover my nose during the smell part since I know when that skunk smell will come.

[@berrypie11]

I'm SO glad you put the clock dragon from Knoebels on here! I remember that thing scaring the crap out of me during my first time riding, and since then, I know to not look in its direction or close my eyes when passing it. Also, I give a massive middle finger to the Aragog animatronic and the entirety of that scene! I have really bad arachnophobia, and the sight of all the spiders made me scream so loud that my throat hurt. Thankfully during my second time on the ride this past summer, I knew to close my eyes at that part.

[@Spindler2007]

The Hungarian Horntail on Forbidden Journey didn't make me jump but the spiders and Dementors certainly did. I yelped when Aragog appeared in a flash of light as I didn't expect to see him so close. When it came to the Dementors, I actually screamed when one of them lunged towards me out of the darkness like a towering figure of death. I can still remember coming off the ride shaking lol.

[@VeggieSwiftie]

I didn’t know what a 4D ride really meant before I went on the Harry Potter ride…as someone who is scared of animatronics, large objects, spiders, and the dark, it was not my best ride choice 😂 I also swear something touched my foot during the dementor portion which was extra terrifying

[@Digital_Devil15]

same, I'm pretty sure i accidently kicked the basalisk skeleton when i went on it

[@LadyMiir]

The under-the-seat bug effects in "It's a Bug's Life" in Animal Kingdom got me. I jumped up and yelped in surprise, lol.

[@clearhero7487]

I’m happy other have gotten touched from the demoentors omgg.

[@borederlands5387]

The jumpscare on radiator springs racers got me a few times and it really resembles the one on test track mentioned

[@katashworth41]

No matter how many times I ride Thrill O Matic (and it’s a lot, it’s my favourite ride in the park) the Wererabbit gets me about 50% of the time.

[@spongebakesquarepansgaming]

it only got me the first time

[@CrackingCody]

When going on that Harry Potter ride, I knew nothing about it. Basically every animatronic section acted as a jumpscare for me.

[@ciellover13]

As a grown woman who loves these rides & has experienced most of these jump scares, I can confidently say, I still close my eyes 😂😂

[@lpsgalaxy2463]

Same 😂 sometimes I close my eyes or I just don’t look

[@ThePirateprincess23]

If you want to experience Test Track's original jump scare, just ride Radiator Springs Racers at California Adventure. Mack comes out of nowhere with that loud honk of his.

[@readingwolf164]

Thank you for the warning (/said with all my heart). I have horrible anxiety about car crashes and even something as fake (for lack of a better word) as dark rides can make me panic.

[@elizabethcoen]

On the subject of Mack, I liken that Super Liner to a Shire Horse or a Great Dane dog. He may be big and incredibly powerful, but Mack will always be there for you when the chips are down.

[@olliesyoutubeadventures5394]

And actually on this subject for mack, his facial expression when he shows up, he looks as if he's more scared of you coming at him

[@elizabethcoen]

@@olliesyoutubeadventures5394 No kidding, I bet even someone like Mack would be terrified of any car(sentient or not)coming towards them at high speeds. If I was in Mack’s place, I would be equally horrified.

[@sarahtonin2621]

oh my god the wallace and gromit one gets me everytime

[@Jingjo]

The final scene set reveal of Journey into Imagination with Figment at Epcot is one of my favorite jump scares. I can never expect it!

[@Adar512]

Man, I love haunted houses, always great to get spooked and enjoy some scares on halloween

[@leonard5033]

The lightning strike on Journey to the Center of the Earth at Tokyo DisneySea is very frightening because it's so real that it's the most scariest jumpscare I have ever experienced.

[@braxbro7602]

One jumpscare that got completely robbed due to it not being on this list is the train horn at the end of Terroride at Lagoon. It’s probably the one jumpscare on that ride that still manages to get me, even when I can see the headlights in the dark. It was such an effective scare that when they did a complete remodel of the ride, they kept it in at the end! Though the ride does have another great jumpscare they added in the new version, there’s a part where you’re going down a dark hallway when all the sudden the lights come on and your vehicle is going towards a bunch of spikes, turns out that it’s only a door to the next scene, but I remember how badly that scared me when I first rode the remodel!

[@Wolf_Tycoons]

Finally! Someone talks bout my favorite dark ride! Used to be my home park 😭That honk is so nostalgic and scary for me!

[@toddbendall518]

I love the remodel!

[@Wolf_Tycoons]

@@toddbendall518 I always see everyone downtalk it, but I agree! I would’ve liked to ride the original though, of course

[@annielanier6042]

I love Terroride! Lagoon is one of my home parks. Such a fun place.

[@hudsonruff9208]

I thought that ride was so-so. I was 10 or something and my grandpa and I waited in line for about 20 minutes, and the ride itself was pretty underwhelming. The train did give me a good scare, though.

[@Sneaky_Snail_Pie_02]

I remember being a kid and seeing the angler fish on the Finding Nemo submarines. 😂 I thought it was just me at first when the lights flashed again and I was more interested in wanting a better look at them than I was actually scared.

[@ScottyMania313]

Awesome video as always. I hope there's gonna be a part 2 and 3 and 4.

[@RaijuZilla]

"Imagine being a kid and seeing those scary anglerfish" Dont have to imagine on that one, the anglerfish jumpscare got me good when I was a kid 🤣 I leaned forward to look at the lights and BAM lovecraftian horror

[@jaimelubin6497]

There's also an anglerfish scene on The Seas with Nemo and Friends at Epcot. That moment is a pretty decent jumpscare as well because the rest of that ride is so gentle and slow.

[@TylerFG]

Plus it *moves*. Quite fluidly as well, which doesn't help.

[@Ceej_MM]

That thing is terrifying

[@XanderandFriends773]

Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey’s spider part was so unexpected. Got chills when I went on it with my uncle

[@latiadaniels8084]

I love your channel I have been watching it for years! I always get so excited when I’ve been the places! I went to the #1 ride on this twice! Each time that scare got me

[@cinnamonshorsess]

When I was riding Harry Potter and The Forbidden Journey at Universal Studios, Osaka, the spiders also sprayed moist on me and my family. One guy also screamed and I realized he was chanting that spell. Most nostalgic and memorable moment ever. 😅😅😅

[@PetaHatingChris42]

Yeah that Clock Dragon at Knoebels is a pretty good jump scare, but tame when compared to the truck after you leave the cemetery. That carnotaurus finale still gets me even when I know it's coming.

[@PetaHatingChris42]

@The Spooky Troll The whole ride is basically one jump scare after another.

[@Psyduckk2]

“The cat animatronics look like something out of an 80’s pizza place”💀

[@RoyaltyTrader]

Great video! When I went on Dinosaur, the Carnotaurus that jumpscares you was broken so he was just stood there frozen while t-posing so me and my friend weren't scared but rather laughing 😂

[@HiroshiHatamaki]

That Dinosaur ride traumatized me as a child to the point where it was completely wiped from my mind. Few years after that I got on the ride again not knowing what ride it was until I was strapped in and the trauma started all over again 🥲

[@varitsvq9002]

Great video as always!

[@KaijuForceNeo]

I especially remember the Semi on the early days of Test Track. Since 2012, the ride got a huge makeover alongside a Sponsorship by Chevrolet Motors.

[@jefftorres3990]

This nailed every Disneyland and Disney World jump scare I've experienced since childhood, thanks for the reminders!

[@danielmassoud4490]

YES!!! My family has absolutely loved the Dinosaur ride ever since we first rode it and the picture we got had every one of us with our heads in our laps because we were so scared. We always make it a priority at Disney. It’s truly terrifying in the most surprising way and it makes for great stories down the road 😆

[@liladjgal1204]

Hey TPC I really love the warnings you provide regarding your videos (arachnophobia, epilepsy etc...)

[@julienicol9202]

I love your channel and your content, it’s always so interesting and informative.

[@realmackle]

I'd definitely say the old lewis and clark ride at oaks amusment park was a contender. It had this giant deformed looking grizzly that roared at you as you went past it.

[@boilercoasters8442]

The Knoebels haunted mansion has so many good jumpscares but the truck horn at the end of the ride really got me

[@fastpassfacts]

Happy Halloween! 🎃 great video as always! 💀🎃

[@Gavin6168]

Love your vids! great video. Also you should do a q and a video where you answer questions about coasters and your channel. subbed a long time ago ;) .

[@juliakelley6921]

I have subscribed and love ur videos!🤗

[@jakewimzy1988]

Another jump scare moment that I can think of that is similar to Test Track. On Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man ride at Islands of Adventure, you nearly have a head on collision with an animatronic garbage truck before swerving into the next scene.

[@Spark_is_right_here]

I agree, although the thing that scared me the most on that ride was being in line and walking through a door only to find yet another snake line lol.

[@JimesYT]

2:53 The Duck has actually returned after all this time as a broken old toy in the Attic of the 'Curse at Alton Manor' Dark ride. It's pretty cool seeing it again where it truly belongs; in a horror ride.

[@Lord-Ember]

Just today I went on Cat in the Hate ride at IOA and we were screaming the entire time. We were legit horrified. It was hilarious and scary at the same time. I remember when Thing 1 and 2 walked out we screamed super loudly. They literally stopped the ride because they thought we were dying. 😭

[@nctrnm]

Thanks for the Informative Video on 10 jump scares on dark rides, I haven't been on any recently Great Video.

[@AnimeChibi90]

I've found the Dragon, spiders, and dementors to be all scary. XD And at the ripe old age of 32 and having been to Disney world 3 or 4 times, I still can't go through the whole dinosaur ride with my eyes open. 😅🤣

[@SlipperySoap]

Good work!

[@panthina7140]

I love these videos. Our band had such a fun time on Dinosaur and we’re really mad it’s being removed.

[@ThemeParkCrazy]

I don't recall any news of it being removed.

[@elijah5573]

@@ThemeParkCrazy they're replacing the whole dinosaur area with a zootopia thing, so dinosaur's most likely getting removed or rethemed

[@CinemageddonReviews]

I had to subscribe after seeing this, because the Dinosaur ride traumatized me so much as a kid, that as an adult, I became fascinated with it. Now it’s one of my favorites.

[@MattMcIrvin]

The original mode of the big yeti in Expedition Everest probably should be here, though it only worked for a few months and relatively few ever got to see it.

[@elijah5573]

with a fear of strobe lights, that carnotaurus jumpscare absolutely shook me when i rode on dinosaur for the first time back in febuary lol

[@colbyburchfield]

The Carnosaurus scared the life out of me and my brother as a child, we were literally crying through all of the ride everyone looked at my parents funny because we were so little. the ride used to be way more scary but still lives up to the hype today

[@anastasiamarkova824]

I have subscribed to your channel Peter!

[@asswiper-yb9uy]

Ah! I remember the ghosts from the haunted mansion ride. I got really jumpscared by it once and I never really saw it again. Brings back memories!

[@katdoodlebug7114]

One that always gets me is the one at the end of Monster Mansion at SFOG. They’ve had this horn that blasts at the end for ages, but they recently changed it and added a SECOND even louder noise after. So unnecessary 😅

[@Shortstack732]

My first Disney trip in 1997, my grandma told my parents that both Snow White and the Haunted Mansion would be too scary for me. I religiously watched ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK at the time, so I doubt it. Never got to experience Snow White. Went to Disney World for my honeymoon in 2020. My husband had never gone to Animal Kingdom. I deliberately did not tell him about the Carnotaurus. Wish I had bought the on-ride photo because his reaction was hysterical.

[@ChibiProwl]

That’s a bit evil, but funny.😂😌

[@thoughtengine]

My favourite was in the Gold Coast, QLD Ripleys Believe it or Not museum. You didn't even get on a ride. You wound through a section dealing with Death, and walked out onto a small balcony in a small diorama display of old buildings where you would read the story of a certain "bad person" from history, and then the balcony would drop around 4-5 inches after a loud creaking noise. Sounds like almost nothing, but the girls who went in there after me almost screamed their lungs inside-out. Not to mention the clear tile in the floor over a dark shaft which lights up to reveal a monster inside, climbing up to get you, with a loud horn sound, for some reason.

[@riversong4997]

Thank you for mentioning Knoebels!! I grew up in central PA, and I _love_ Knoebels.

[@thrillsparks9573]

The truck on test track and the alien on the great movie ride scared me as a kid

[@Wilshaffner]

My family still has the photo from Countdown to Extinction where the picture got taken right when my sister got scared and we often talk about how funny it was!

[@Wolf_Tycoons]

You should do one of these excluding big parks like Disney and Universal. It’d be really interesting to see!

[@hotsaucepizza]

The dinosaur ride really got me. Keep up the good videos.

[@thecinematicmind]

That Yellow Duck on the Flame scared the hell out of me with the few times I rode it. The loud quack effects. Yeesh.

[@Roze_aye]

The Dinosaur Ride thus far is my favorite dark ride to date. The Carnotaurus absolutely scared the mess out of me when I was younger, and I even knew it was coming too! Carnotaurus is also now my favorite dinosaur, so yeah. thats great! But that ride is amazing in everyway. I especially love how realistic the asteroid landing is.

[@TadzioEtGustav]

Be careful there is a screamer at the end of the video

[@ThemeParkCrazy]

I didn't put a screamer at the end.

[@stalkedd]

I went to Disney paris last month and went on the snow White ride. When the evil queen turned around at the mirror I was impressed. Good work there 👏

[@Jiggygirl13]

The Terror Ride at Lagoon is a pretty smooth yet spooky ride, it all ends with a loud honk and a flash of headlights coming at you. I ride it constantly and still jump every time

[@therexsystem4818]

So proud to have amazing UK Parks!!

[@ItsAmaliaB]

Surprised Mystic Manor's medusa mural didn't appear on this list, that one is one of my personal favorites that I've done.

[@BrockEditsStuff]

The truck on test track gets me no matter how many times I ride it that day

[@kathrynwoodruff354]

The clock dragon might be startling, but I think I get even more startled by the truck lights and loud horn later. Also, occasionally I get startled by the Aztec native character near the end of the ride.

[@mattwilkinson5605]

I remember being genuinely shaken after the dinosaur barges at your vehicle, he picture after was me looking shocked crouching down, everybody had a good laugh that day

[@Turanga1i1a]

Yes, that giant spider and dinosaur had me yelping while watching this video! There happens to be a classic jump scare in the defunct dark ride Gold Rusher at Kennywood. On your right side, the light shows a woman being attacked by a giant spider, and just before the scene is over, an even larger spider descends upon you from the ceiling! While this instant might not be as prolonged as the spider from the Harry Potter ride, its movement and positioning totally make up for it!

[@zehn39]

The steam/fog shot by the dragon in the Harry Potter ride, is pretty warm from what I remember. And it makes a loud ass hiss too.

[@TheJFish94]

I remember the Haunted Mansion at Magic Kingdom having those pop-up ghost in the attic scene back when I went in 2004, and it scared the living H.E. Double Hockey Sticks out of me!

[@ChibiProwl]

Ditto.😌I hated that stupid ghost.😨

[@SwaveyyPlayz]

The forbidden adventure scared the hell out of me the first time I rode it, I got off crying 😭

[@saftabi1511]

I miss that Duck! The first time I rode on the rethemed flume at Alton Towers I had no idea it was going to be there. But after the jumpscare happened, I couldn't stop laughing at the fact it was such a hilarious silly thing. The Quacks still live in my head rent free.

[@weownthisknight6766]

Forever thinking about the alien that would pop out on the great movie ride.. scared tf out of me as a kid

[@ceilingfen9878]

The Carnotaur jumpscare definitely gives me the reworked Jurassic World ride, it used to be T Rex back when I went, but now its Indominus Rex jumpscare. Twas a good one.

[@bootleg_b]

If you’re ever in Santa Cruz, CA, you should check out their haunted castle on the boardwalk. Pretty impressive scare mechanisms
