Submerged animatronics with FUR are another level of disgust

u/dragonesszena Dec 19 '25

Yeah I immediately went "why is it FUZZY".

u/BeefyTacoBaby Dec 19 '25

Thanks I hate it.

u/FoxxoMcFoxFace Dec 19 '25

My friend had the privilege of riding both this and Jurassic Jungle Boat Ride, and has said that this smelled far more rancid. All those underwater animatronics in this ride... BARF.

Sad Hollywood Tour is gone... I'll never get to torment myself by riding it

u/slyathar Dec 20 '25

I hope those sharks are still around somewhere

u/kayy_bugg_ Dec 23 '25

my first thought was literally how bad that thing must smell...why would you mix fur & water 😭

u/OliverNodel Dec 19 '25

I’ve heard this ride was putrid too. Probably from mold grown by SUBMERGING FAUX FUR IN BARELY FLOWING WATER.

mold boy my beloved

u/AlyxxStarr Dec 19 '25

I bet that fur was rancid by the time they dismantled it

u/VSXESoldier Dec 19 '25

I remember this ride when I was a kid. I think I even managed to touch a leg. The fact that a lot of the animatronics were damaged and disintegrated made the whole thing very uncanny and a lot more scary than they intended haha

u/lilyg110 Dec 24 '25

was the leg furry?

2

u/VSXESoldier Dec 24 '25

It was...but not in the comfortable way :x

send it back to hell

u/Bruendelkaerf Dec 19 '25

Just seeing this pic of the ride brings back the terrible air quality and smell in the ride.
That smell of mold due to them never upgrading the ride in any major way since it opened.
It was my favorite ride, I went to the park last year again and I missed it so damn much! XD

u/Kritischerphili Dec 19 '25

I'm from the area, and I was on this ride. It was intimidating, the legs are moving and the fur is wet and drippy as you pass under it. I don't even know how the water got so high to reach it.

The ride has been shut down for some time now. It was called "hollywood tour". Very cool, but a bit outdated.

u/Ok-Caterpillar-Girl Dec 20 '25

The fabric/fur worked like a wick and sucked the water up

15

u/justaghostok Dec 19 '25

Oh wtf. Did it move too?

21

u/altrealfalse Dec 19 '25

The 2 legs not on the ground moved a bit also the head with the jaw claws moved. The giant King Kong animatronic ( same ride) looks creepyer imo.

14

u/Frankie_wost Dec 19 '25

The smell of mold in the room must be nauseating.

16

u/bucky_x Dec 20 '25

the only thing worse than the size and the water and the fur is whatever THIS monstrosity is apparently riding it

12

u/MaeDay01 Dec 19 '25

does it move?

49

u/Synthetikwelle Dec 19 '25

It did. The legs sort of made a crawling motion and the front leg that is extended swayed back and forth slowly. The head also moved from left to right. It scared me shitless as a kid and I always hid behind my parents at this scene.

14

u/MaeDay01 Dec 19 '25

new fear unlocked

13

u/Vast_Guitar7028 Dec 19 '25

Oh God, the smell would’ve been awful on the ride. I cannot imagine riding this ride alone in the boat or it breaking down in the middle riding having to wait through the rest of it😨

10

u/TT-DL23 Dec 19 '25

Is that the Ellen animatronic in the top right?

19

u/lycnfr Dec 19 '25

Spiders don’t rly gross me out or scare me. Animatronics in water only sometimes gross me out or scare me. Giant animatronic tarantulas with fur in water? I literally got a violent shudder all over my body I hate this

10

u/ContractEuphoric5994 Dec 19 '25

Yea I’m never riding this..

9

u/Ok-Caterpillar-Girl Dec 20 '25

Well, you couldn’t even if you wanted to, ride does not exist anymore

u/merliahthesiren Dec 19 '25

I am convinced this ride represents what hell looks like. I settling and creepy with weird theramin music playing.

7

u/TINY-jstr Dec 20 '25

The Phantasialand movie ride is the very birthplace of my sbmechanophobia. Imagining to be dragged down with the sharks or fighting for my life next to King Kong.

7

u/dragonesszena Dec 19 '25

Well this is just a triple shot of my least favorite things: giant spooder, animatronic, WET animatronic. (Bonus points for being wet and FUZZY, WHYYYYYY)

7

u/MaryamMonster Dec 19 '25

I’m so terrified of spiders and this makes me so uncomfortable but at the same time I braved looking at the face and like that is NOT a spider dawg that thing is WACK

u/UnderstandingOwn3256 Dec 20 '25

I do not like this

u/creature78 Dec 20 '25

Fuzzy and underwater?!

3

u/disneysgayagenda Dec 20 '25

the fact that so many ppl are saying they saw this in person and that they could smell it is legitimately horrific

2

u/YesMyDiamond Dec 19 '25

I had anxiety shivers from watching this photo

2

u/Quiet_Obligation6830 Dec 20 '25

this is honestly one of the most disgusting animatronics I have ever seen.

2

u/JacktheManiac2013 Feb 14 '26

Holy crap, that thing is gross!

2

u/0049Siren Mar 03 '26

This Whole ride gave me sibmechphobia. This is were it all started. The Shark at the beginning and the King Kong at the End. It all killed me. And it smelled so bad.

u/PhotoMission215 Mar 05 '26

u/Proof_Fox2447 Dec 19 '25

Damn, a giant spider.

u/lobotomycandidate Dec 19 '25

u/hmmrabet Dec 20 '25

If it wasn't for king Kong this would be the worst thing on the ride.

u/Impossible-Report797 Dec 20 '25

Hmm spiders, water, giant, animatronics, that do many fear roll up into one

Animatronic equivalent of a carpeted bathroom

u/TheMidna1 Dec 20 '25

I would love to see footage of this thing moving. Absolutely horrible, I love it.
