Ramble: Creepypasta Park (& also Life Day)

I like Snoopy but I never would’ve guessed that he was still so popular in theme parks.

dead watchinh this after going to epic universe

"Hi, Creepypasta Park complaints department, can I help you?" "Hi, my friend and I got Luna Juices at the Pink Opaque plaza and uhhh you ever feel like there's this hole inside of you and it isn't closing and no matter what you do-" "Sir, did you want your money back?" "It's 'ma'am' now actually"

Does anyone else ever think about how male scifi writers wrote holiday party planning lore that involves fighting a tree for some fruit My favorite beanie baby is a bulldog missing its nose button and a kangaroo missing the little baby and they still live on my bedside table. Its strange though because they're the only 2 with no tags? I feel like I am a clumsy person that unwittingly spills and trips a lot and I cant keep clothes in good condition, but I have a bag of approximately 80 beanie babies and I played with all of them all the time, but they're in like perfect condition with tags, I guess I was just very careful with them because I loved them so much. They are exceptionally beautiful kids toys, and the quality is so surprising to me in today's context. I have no idea what to do with them all now though, I have the princess diana one somehow?? I even have a little bag from the beanie baby club... I gave some away to friend's babies, but I still could never part with all of them lol spot and foxy got gifted to my best friends baby and are now the matted and grey tagless favorites, that feels right haha i even randomly found extras to send to them (including a Roo with a tag and a baby that I had to get) at a random thrift shop.

Im guessing this mystery lodge video will top the star wars hotel video runtime by how long she has been working on it.

To its credit I will say the lego special does make it canon you can time travel only on life day

I love that this Video is now on Youtube Kids! All these little children, under the age of twelve that cannot watch this Video about fictional mass murderes, because their parents would need to give you money on here are gonna be so happy! No but really, just bc you talk about a theoretical theme park does not mean this Video is for children 🤣 wtf youtube

I think the jeff the killer character is genius but would it be like the scary horrifying og jeff the killer or the emo moody anime hair fanart jeff the killer

Jeff the Killer the ride. Like the Mummy ride at Universal

It took a while to find the full Dionaea House story, and now that I did I won't be sleeping for the next several days, but now that I understand the reference I thought that was very funny

Great video. Just joined the Patreon. Lots of excellent content. And I agree: that Universal Monsters Land sounded incredible. Hope it actually happens one day.

dude i might buy a higher tier to message you this but if you’re visiting weird theme parks or places in general there’s a train themed park in North Carolina called “tweetsie railroad” that i went to when i was super young and a really sick vintage dark ride about mice, i’ve been meaning to go back myself since i live closer to it now than i did back then but they’re closed atm bc of covid

you said the words "pasta town" in this video, which sounds like a much better theme park that i'd definitely want to go to.

My parents lived in Santa Rosa and there's peanuts stuff all over the town, so that's kind of a shitty theme park in itself

omg please do beanie babies

omg Jenny, my heart SOARED when you mentioned Dionaea House! it is my favorite creepypasta-style story and I re-read it every October and recommend it to my friends but I don't think anybody reads it. it's nice to know someone else remembers it fondly! I also loved the cave story so it was great to have it mentioned too

I kind of want a tattoo of photo-negative snoopy now..

Love all your theme park content, even the fictional stuff! Your enthusiasm for other topics is contagious, though, so I'm looking forward to whatever comes next. :)

i need a creepypasta about the Creepy Pasta from creepypasta land

mads mikkelsen is going to save the fantastic beasts franchise you just want

i have not seen one second of the vampire diaries but i watched ur entire vid and loved it so much! also, i saw the percy jackson and spider man musical on bway!

I came into the Vamp Di video as an earnest fan of seasons 1-6 (well, 1-3, but I watched through 6), and my best friend went into it as someone who had never watched an episode. Both of us loved it and watched it in one sitting. She might even watch the first season now. If that's not success in hitting disparate demographics, I don't know what is.

Life day gives off the same energy to me as boonta Eve

Having watched the Lego Life Day Special, I just recall it being a Chirstmas/Thanksgiving stand-in. Poe Dameron wears a knitted green-and-red sweater and wants to have friends and family over to enjoy his Star Wars equivalent of a turkey.

Oh my god I literally JUST rescued all my old beanie babies from my dad’s house! I’ve gotten really into old toy collecting over the pandemic and over the last month I’ve been driving my family insane talking about how funny I find the whole craze. I’d be super down for either of your toy-related videos. (Also my favorite beanie baby when I was growing up was a puppy named Darling)

Omg the dionea house joke has made my week

I like the idea of there just being a Denny's somewhere random in the park. Like this completely normal Denny's and none of the staff mention it being in a creepypasta theme park

Double plus, plus hats!

I watched the LEGO special and it's really cute, lots of fun little Easter eggs and silly humor. I think there are a couple of new little Life Day things. Poe tried to cook

The idea of walking around creepypasta park and seeing a snoopy and being like “oh hey, there’s Snoopy” cracks me UP

I follow the siren head creator on twitter @slimyswampghost, they're a talented horror artist. They design a lot of creepy stuff. You could probably find a ton of viral horror artists online and pay them to feature their creatures in a creepypasta park

I'm REALLY interested on adults' perspectives of beanie babies? Like even as little kids we knew, to some degree, the idea that they were going to be investments was made up and no one really controls what an investment is. But for some reason, adults really seemed to believe they would be worth something even though they were mass produced. Even my older relatives were interested in buying me beanie babies over any book or art supply or toy I actually wanted. Like what was it that appealed to adults so much and did it appeal to kids in the same way or were kids just taking what they could get and adults found them to be a more valid purchase...?

I think the smallest/cutest SCPs could be in the giftshop and they need to be adopted because the scientists are overrun with the big dangerous ones! When you bought one, the cashiers would be like, "thank you for Serving, Containing, and Protecting! and you could sign a contract that says you'll keep it safe and stuff. I'm spitballing bc I think a lot of them are buildings and playground equipment while I'm obviously picturing a plush of some sort.

Your hair looks SO GOOD. Whatever you're doing, it's awesome.

would absolutely love a beanie babies video

I think if you made a beanie baby retrospective it would be my favorite thing you’ve made

The things I would do for a Sirenhead plush hat. Or helmet so you ARE Sirenhead.

I think the beanie baby thing sounds really interesting too!

Missed opportunity to serve a dish called “creepy pasta” at the 5 nights at freddy’s Italian restaurant.

When you're running around to theme parks you should do some urban exploration/abandoned theme park filming too! (if you want). I wish I could travel too blahhh Then again there's like an abandoned theme park and ski resort just down the road and I haven't bothered myself to go visit those either

I GASPED when you mentioned the beanie baby video. I would love to see that!

Jenny scolding us about our poor video topic choices while wearing a Hedwig hat is a very powerful energy.

Beanie baby video sounds amazing.

Petition to add the traumatizing nightmare tunnel from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Great ramble, as always! I did watch the new LEGO Star Wars holiday special, and as a casual fan I quite enjoyed it, but remember literally nothing beyond that. Nice to see Rose Tico getting some scenes at least! Obviously I’m hoping the vaccine is rolled out quickly and successfully for many reasons, and seeing you tour theme parks around the country/world is very high up on that list! :) Also, I kinda love the idea of a “Siren Head” parade, where they just blast out old-timey air-raid alarms at the audience for half an hour, as a line of malformed stilt-creatures lumber clumsily along, and bump into each other. Fun!

Now people can write defunct creepypasta park creepypasta where it’s a double negative, so it’s actually a lighthearted adventure comedy

I just checked Bing for images of Siren Head and they made my day :D

Oh man I JUST helped my dad clean out some old boxes with all my beanie baby magazines, and my TY beanie baby club swag. What a trip that was

I think for the Russian sleep experiment it could be a themed hotel thing! Like you are the control group so you get to sleep, but the Experiment happens right next door so you can sometimes hear creepy voices and it all looks like a laboratory. It wouldn't be a comfortable night, but scary

Ask Lauren about Life Day craft ideas.

For the lego special, it mentions life day as a method of starting the plot in the opening scenes, and its overall a cute special, nothing crazy but worth a watch if youre looking for cutesy lego fun

Honestly SomethingAwful itself would be a really interesting topic especially now that it has changed ownership.

I've been keen on a theme park (+ whatever) world tour for at least a couple years now. Sadly I think it'll still be at least 9 months before vaccines are widespread enough that it'll be an even moderately safee option. But yes please do it, go hard then go home, which are both things everyone should do.

The people who made Spiderman the Musical: Turn off the Dark definitely didn't edit their own wikipedia page

I had that crocodile beanie baby as a kid!

I remember finding the Ted the Caver website through some random link sharing thing so there was no context which definitely made it super weird. Also I can't remember if you've mentioned watching it before but Candle Cove got turned into a TV show, it was the first season of the Syfy channel anthology series Channel Zero.

The SCP wiki used to be really poorly curated, but now it’s a lot higher in quality. However a large number of newer SCPs reference other older ones so it can be a bit of a commitment to dig through the entire series of articles for the full story. Still I’d recommend checking out articles with high user ratings, those are generally much higher quality.

lego holiday special was cute, but you don't learn anything about life day

If you want to see spooky Negative Jenny: https://imgur.com/gnEaAg5

90 seconds in and my fears about the life day topic were confirmed, i.e. that it was mostly submitted as a funny meme title for a topic without there being that much content to actually draw inspiration from lmao

I thought I saw Vampire Diaries but turns out it was True Blood. I guess that's the thing with vampire content too - nothing new.

My CreepypastaPark Ideas: Left/Right Game version of Star Tours Hall of Dead Residents (no idea other than the name) A VR set you can walk around like Secrets of the Empire, but it's for P.T. (or a PT knock-off) Cannibal Dinner Theater A series of short escape rooms you have to go through with monsters chasing you from room to room

I love all your theme park content! More more more!

Wait, have you played the Sirenhead Dating Sim yet?

The LEGO Star Wars holiday special is great! It's very cute and funny, but ... I'm not sure that you learn anything else significant about Life Day. And the LEGO Star Wars shows aren't canon either way.

I love the idea of traveling to theme parks! If you’re ever headed down to Virginia, I’d happily spot you a free friend pass to Busch Gardens Williamsburg 💘 (it’s got the title of most beautiful theme park in the world, take that Disney)

I was [un?]lucky enough to see Turn Off the Dark while it was still on Broadway, and, man. Oof. It was somehow both not as bad as, and much worse than, the stories you've heard. Got a cool t-shirt, though, and naturally I kept the Playbill, so that's a neat little part of history, such as it is.

Couldn't the SCP thing be like the Stitch thing? Just redo the Stitch's Great Escape but maybe longer? or more rooms "oh no! the thing has gotten out wtf?" Okay but there is something I must say. Astroworld had a luney toons land. Not a Snoopy land. I am so sorry to be that person.

As someone who’s seen an injury-free preview of the Spider-Man Turn off the Dark musical I’d love to hear your take on it!

Haha, I was 11 when the original Star Wars Holiday Special aired. I had looked forward to it so much! I had to make special arrangements to be sure I'd be allowed to use the tv that night because it was the middle ages. That was the night I learned about bitter disappointment.

I am very excited about anything Turn off the Dark related. I got way into Hadestown last year, which led me down a rabbit hole that ended with Turn off the Dark. Which, if you think about it, is basically just Hadestown! Patrick Page loves his wife but also capitalism and so he ends up kidnapping Reeve Carney's girlfriend. Really makes you think.

Percy Jackson has a project in the works over at Disney+ with Riordan actually involved unlike the movies. I think in the lead up to that releasing would be the best time to drop a video on the musical.

2 videos in 2 days, u spoil us too much

I’m so glad you included the caving adventure! That’s one of my old school faves

Mads Mikkelsen is replacing Johnny Depp in Fantastic Beasts

i would fully lose my shit for a Jenny Beanie Babies video. I was obsessed with them as a kid, used to make stop motion music videos of DDR songs with mine. And there's a whole side of youtube dedicated to them? That'd be a great intro to it.

The LEGO Holiday Special was cute, and goes by quick. All I remember learning is roasted tip-yip is also a Life Day food. I rank it CANON.

VPD worked very well for the uninitiated! - I think that's really always the case with a Jenny Nicholson video. Everything is always well-explained so that you can join in the fun even if you're completely ignorant of the source material. (The only vids I can't say that for are the Marvel ones because with those I've *not* been completely ignorant beforehand. For aaaaaall the other ones, though - well, I guess I know a little bit about Star Wars but usually I don't have a clue what's going on and yet the Jenny vid is all you need)

32:03, did you hear about the Divergent attraction at the new Lionsgate park in China? I think it may be like a VR obstacle course, but I’m not sure. A lot of strange choices were revealed in the park’s preview video.

"Take any glass orb, put it in your hands, now it's a Life Day Orb" was just perfectly on-brand for the Hallmark DIY channel.

What I learned here is that when teenage boys write fanfiction they gotta call it creepypasta instead. Game and tv show creepypasta stories just, are fanfic with a dark story?

I went to Star Wars land in December last year and when I was buying a hotdog taco the woman at the stand told me “enjoy your Ronto wrap and happy life day!” And I was so happy about it I basically screamed “you too!” lol.

I watched that Lego Life Day thing. Not much learned about the holiday itself, seems like it’s basically space Christmas. It’s fun in a fan service-y self-referential kind of way, and my kid liked it. I wouldn’t go out of your way to watch it, but if you’re looking for something to watch around the holidays next year, you could do worse.

Can I just say I feel bad for the guy who made siren head, Trever Henderson? He does so much cool art but he’s been kinda pigeon holed as the siren head guy.

im voting for the TOY COLLECTION video <3

Hey Jenny, indigenous person here, I would stay away from the Native American lore. You're not even supposed to talk about it or say it's name.

i watched and enjoyed the lego life day special. it's not good.

I wrote a creepypasta about Jenny buying new video-editing software on the Dark Web. The software was a secret experiment that added a mind-control signal during rendering. The output file would always be called DONTWATCH, so they could say they gave fair warning, but people who watched the video would become crazy cannibals within the next 48 hours.

You should do a video about Dollywood. I went there so many times as a kid and I loved it.

Didn't see talk about the creepy pasta park on the Defunctland podcast or am I misremembering ?

As someone who had multiple phases where they would endlessly read the SCP archives, it hurts my bones to hear you didn't really find any SCPs you really jived with. But the bit about weird jam made me chuckle, so i'm not too upset Also, your confusion regarding the ownership of Great America is because there's actually two, one in California owned by Cedar Fair and one in Illinois owned by Six Flags. They were originally built by Marriott before both were sold to two different owners.

I think for the Russian Sleep Experiment, the theme of the ride would have to be something like, "here's the ride that the subjects designed while in the middle of the experiment."

I’m pretty old so I laughed at the Dionaea House joke. 10/10

Also, Chessington World of Adventures had “Count’s Cauldron” which was essentially a Dracula themed Burger King (and then McDonalds?) next to the Vampire rollercoaster and right opposite the “Professor Burp’s Bubble Works” boat ride? Tonally confused but either way they beat Universal to it

Okay okay I’m SO excited about the prospect of a beanie baby video!!!! I’ve also recently gotten into the history a little bit. There’s some videos on it but I think one going in depth would be amazing. Have you seen that video of the guys in the 90s just fuckin screaming about beanies that are about to be “retired”? Also for the creepypasta park I also would have eyeless jack as a walk along character because I think teen girls also like him? Oh and the five nights at freddys restaurant would be attached to a security room ride. You know that men in black ride at universal where you have to shoot aliens and stuff then you get scored at the end? I was thinking something like that but avoiding getting jumpscared. Have you heard about the five nights at freddy’s knockoff movie starring Nick cage? That’s apparently coming out soon?

Happy New Year Jenny! Proud to be your patron. :D

Dracula’s castle restaurant sounds great! I’ll totally order a medium rare veggie burger with fries w Xtra ketchup.

In the LEGO special Yoda vaguely explains Life Day and how it’s about family! and friendship! and LIFE! and then we see them set up a Life Day party which further establishes it’s cottagecore aesthetic and basically reinforces that it is in fact a festival based on Life and not much else

These hot Life Day tips stolen straight from the Hallmark YT channel

I feel vindicated I didn't vote for the Life Day one.

Wow, Jenny has gone from Pro Gamer to Super Hacker. I'm a little scared to see what's next!

omg is that a toy crystal necklace from the McDonalds toy run of Disney's Atlantis on that stuffed animal back there?

Over 3 hours of fresh content in 2 days we are so spoiled

Happy New Year!

i thought youtube rigged the spell so you would die instantly!

First the VPD video and now this? Tis a good day to be a patron.
