An entire attraction could be built with submechanophobia as the core design principle. Maybe with a fantasy theme so you could have glowing eyes underwater. The vehicle should tip. Because getting in the water with all that gnashing metal would be enough to make any sane person white-eyed and screamy much less a submechanophobe.

Great video(s). I'm in awe of the quality of the host's exterior!

[Kilohe]

Most of these don't scare me, but that Medusa one is so creepy!

[mchell-x]

I think there might be enough for a king Kong animatronic ranking now 😂

[Hypagemie]

The belly flopping dolphin is so weird hahahaa

[olyviasweetorange]

As a Nashville local I can say that Mr. Hippo is just about on his last leg. Kids have been throwing coins in the water recently and the poor employees have to fish em out at closing.

I think the most horrifying part about Exalibur is that the ride is still there, nothing has ever replaced it nor has not been removed even after 20 years, but it’s access is blocked off to the public. You can still see a glimpse of the knight tower beside the serpent, through a gap in the fence in the zoo at the park, creepy!

[jazzklyn]

The Medusa statue scared me so much as a child it looks bigger when looking through the glass as it’s magnified had to go through the tunnel with my eyes shut and my dad guiding me safe to say this was the moment I realised I hate submerged statues

[rvawildcardwolf]

Yes I want to know more about how parks maintain animatronics.

While I understand not every park has a Disney or universal budget, or Efteling artistic standards I'm always disappointed and a little fascinated seeing broken down and beaten animatronics in otherwise active parks. It's neat that Disney airlifts some out, that makes a lot of sense.

A new Fastpass Submechanophobia video? It's going to be a good day.

The dragon from Lakeview Farms is actually what started my submechanophobia when I was a little kid. I've never seen anyone talk about it before though so I'm kind of strangely happy to see it listed here and know I'm not the only one it creeps out. Also they weren't kidding about that sound, I remember hearing them before seeing them, actual nightmare fuel.

[ThemeParkCrazy]

Seeing Walt introduce this video made my day!

when you showed the Medusa statue in the intro my soul sank, I think unlike a lot of the other animatronics on this list I don't think I'd be able to look up at that thing without feeling genuinely intimidated along with a sinking feeling of dread in my stomach

[lombriese]

I literally grew up going to the Nashville Rainforest Cafe, and it's a part of the reason why I'm now studying engineering to build animatronics. I'm so happy that you mentioned a part of childhood!

6:45 EXCALIBUR! YES! This incredibly neglected ride was the source of my submechanophobia as a kid.... shudder. The ride was left to rot, the animatronics visibly worn and sad looking, and 9/10 the speakers in the boats didn't work, leaving you in an eery silence as you slowly drifted around the ride. To board the boat, you had to be quick getting off the spinning platform and into your seat, as the mechanics under the boats didn't stop, leaving you with this sense of dread that... if you fell... you'd just be crushed in all the machinery as it just kept going without you. Despite all this, I went on it every time I went... only ever heard the speakers working on it two or three times. It was so neglected, the poor thing...
Also, funfact: The Lady of the Lake's arm used to move, swaying back and forth as you heard her trying to speak, but it just came out as garbled bubbles.

That King Kong animatronic just reminded me of this recent event in London I've seen videos of for the new movie Godzilla x Kong. They have these statues of Kong and Godzilla displayed and I was instantly reminded of these submechanophobia videos when I saw the Godzilla statue which is made to look like he's swimming in the water, he even has light up eyes and dorsal spines.

[NatYourAverageNerd]

The creepiest one on this list for me is the incomplete, rusted metal shark from the defunct Lakeview Farms attraction. Not only am I a bit biased for my love (and fear) of shark animatronics, but the fact that it's more or less a rigid statue that pops up and abruptly flops down backwards into the water to hide again is what makes it unsettling to me. Once it's out of sight, it's really out of sight, too -- and with missing the entire tail, it's such an odd prop. You can see the teeth, at least!

[VelocityRides]

Correction: Lakeview farms was located in oregon, not ohio, also as someone who has met the owners of lakeview farms, I can confirm that the animatronics are still there, rotting in the lake, good video!

[melrwill]

That Medusa statue is horrific! She is final-boss level intimidating

[sophieviersen]

There is a second animatronic in Hellendoorn. A crocodile hiding in the shrubs who appears when the boat approaches. But he is disfunctional many times

[Unknown-fpme]

It sends shivers down my spine. But another good ranking!🦆!
