The commercial is a very good reference to Great Wolf Lodge, a chain of hotels in the US that have a Waterpark built inside the hotel. The Medieval Cafe is probably a reference to the indoor scavenger hunt game MagiQuest, which is Fantasy-Medieval themed with electronic wands.
GREAT WOLF LODGE MENTIONED!! Have some fond childhood memories of that place.
Ahhhh I love that place! We have one here in MN that used to be the Waterpark of America. I love waterpark hotels in general
I'm Canadian, but I went to one as a kid! It was fun
@@dragonslayersworkshop8598 I miss Waterpark of America so bad I went once and it was super fun
GWL was my childhood! Still have my MagiQuest wand all these years later!
Never thought I’d hear SaltyDkDan in a Night Mind video but here we are.
whens nick gonna be on Have You Heard About
They're two creators that've been compartmentalized into two separate sections of my brain, so associating them in any way is bizarre for me.
Where was he in this?
@@mewt5358 He's "DAN" Sore Loser in the interview segment with all the other UA-camrs
@@mewt535818:03
Awesome project, I know this isn't really going to be seen by the creators but as someone who works closely with character mascots for a park, I absolutely love how these characters are portrayed, its very realistic to have them do silly shows where they're sort of talking to each other/to the audience in a kid friendly manner. My only true critiques are that the pink dolphin is a bit *too* bitchy to be family friendly, it is possible to have a sort of Mean-Girl character but I think she should lean more lavish and prissy than Regina George, if that makes sense. and my other thing, I don't like how they treat Sally Spider as scary; now, for the project it is a PERFECT way to get a good scare in for the youtube audience, and I really like that, but I think if this were a real park, a character should never be portrayed as scary or unfriendly, even if they are an animal that is usually "creepy crawly", it will help kids have empathy for real creatures because the characters they like are fun and friendly. Even Sally just jokingly jumpscaring her friends and joshing them about being poisonous strikes me poorly, as i would hate for a kid to be terrified by her and then subsequently try to hurt the mascot, animatronic, or every real spider they ever see again. Just felt like rambling about it because I really enjoy this and I also really enjoy park mascots.
"An underWATER adventure? _Wooooow..._ " -Elmo 199X
Props to Squeaks for helping a fellow creator put out such an engrossing project. And that Seal-It advert is just one of the factors that make it peak. Seriously, that was a true broadside of an advert, like the lovechild of Flex Tape, Powerthirst and Big Bill Hell's Cars.
And the chemistry of the cast... Yup, this is up there. A hell of a thing to start the night with, especially since Eyepatch Wolf just dropped another descent into the insanity of Riverdale. This is going to be a good-eatin' Monday night.
Yooo!! Thanks for the heads up on eyepatch wolf's new video! I've been waiting on that one and i really need the extra distraction tonight ❤
Gonna echo i aprecate the heads up on the Eyepatch Wolf video drop.
@@MamaWheelz Riverdale was always crazy, but it really went off the rails before Season 7. Hell, for a while it kinda turned into Smallville, if anyone remembers that show.
@@GmodPlusWoW I do and they definitely followed Smallville's blueprint when it comes to jumping sharks
@@GmodPlusWoW It's almost a shame Riverdale will almost certainly never happen again. I kind of want to see more shows based on a vaguely nostalgic property just get 9 seasons of insanity. I'm lowkey still sad that Powerpuff Girls live action got cancelled since it felt like for a minute we almost had another Riverdale to gawk at.
Something that catches my eye is that the default skin for the search bar. Despite many assuming it's an eel (and that would make sense given the hidden skins are also sealife animals facing to the right), it looks to me like a tanker, leaking oil, with the face on it's Stern. Maybe it's nothing and I'm just looking at it wrong, but given that Mr. Walters died in a shipwreck... I can't help wondering about that.
When you type EEL into the search bar, it changes the skin back to the default if it was any of the other ones. So yeah, it's just an eel in reality. Interesting interpretation though.

Hi hello this has my attention on those descriptions alone
12:53 BUT FIRST WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT
THE GODDAMN NEWS
“External combustion” is a phase we used to use for when a piston exited an engine block. It will always tickle me.
I love how much passion Nick has for this kind of media
Not only the praise for this project (which is 110% deserves) but as a whole, his beaming love for online horror is the kind of attitude I wish others had.
Not seeing Cory post anything on his own channel for months and then seeing this man just randomly show up in some ARG is just so good 🤣
bro Cory be anywhere except on his own videos 😭🙏
I thought I was crazy! I heard 'MoMo's protector' and saw the Samurai and was like...'holy..Was that a cory reference???'
And then he just.. comes back, because he can. What a man.
38:32 I love the 'aquatic ambience'-adjacent music here so much, it works for the time period but it's also such a funny bit to me
I remember when the first underwater wonders was uploaded and the stream they had, I'm happy nick is covering a series I stood by
Seems like squeaks took your comment about making the theater seat a little too literally. But I love it
When the shipwreck is 64 years old (idk i only played the normal version)
49:36 YOOOOOOOOO This is a very specific arcade cabinet version of Mario Kart, the Mario Kart Arcade GP series by Bandai Namco, that was available in some theme parks/arcades/entertainment centers around the US. I only ever got to play the game once and I was very young so idk which game in the series I played (they've made 3 of them) but it's really cool to see that level of attention to detail in this project.
NGL I'm impressed both by the fun fact itself AND the fact that you recognized the cabinet through size and low resolution! Good catch! :D
I'll admit I'm curious where this goes. The only thing that feels funny to me right now is the wanderer revealing his hand and the seeming self importance, but it is reminiscent of old school Anonymous type videos (esp the Microsoft Sam voice) and I am curious why the wanderer has an interest in the park. It'll be interesting to see if the narrative justifies The Wanderer seemingly not worried that people know they're investigating the park, perhaps The Wanderer very pointedly wants someone to know they're poking around, and I wonder what connection if any they have to the park and the mysteries surrounding it.
While I'm excited about this, I do hope they're able to have a more consistent upload schedule now that they had time to rework the project into a series. I'm concerned about its staying relevant if they continue only uploading one episode every 2-5 years. The details and ideas here are awesome though.
With all the feelings of nostalgia, the underwater tunnel at 1:05:15 reawoke a memory of when I visited an aquarium with one and had to rush through it because I was scared.
The 3D modeling is still impressive af
Honestly so funny having Squeaks in the chat and watching you after you dug so deep into his project. And he's pretty hilarious to boot.
If I was the spider mascot I too would enjoy scaring the pants out of everyone.
I'm so glad these vids keep getting posted cause I just never get the notification that your streaming
That Seal-it commercial reminds me of POWER THIRST. 🤣🤣🤣
Yes! 😂😂😂
Literally cried laughing when CoryxKenshin came up on the screen 😂
"Friendchip" and the smiley face reminded me of Chip Time
45:00 wow. this reminds me so much of the old Magic School Bus Games I used to play at the public library computers! Also, Nick, I am twenty and we definitely know about Flash lmao!! CoolMath in elementary, then Kongregate in middle school :)
COOLMATH GANG RISE UPPP
God I loved Coolmath. Especially the Papa’s games
@@dragonslayersworkshop8598 I liked the ones where there were little balls with faces and you had to like. grappling hook around the level? Forget what they were called.
“10 dollars a night per person”
WHAT A DEAL!
I never expected to see Underwater Wonders return--let alone this year--but I'm so glad it did! Can't wait to see where it goes next.
45:30 - The weight of this statement just floored me. "Do you remember what Flash was?" Yeah, a vector by which a shitload of malware got pushed. But it was also responsible for some of the best the early Internet had to offer. The fact that an entire generation now exists that will never know the horror of Flash, or the still greater atrocity of Microsoft Silverlight: know that you were born to bright and sunny days, and be grateful for the misery you never had to endure like we did. Also, this sea dragon looks like he goes to the same bars as Freddy Fish and Pajama Sam. Just throw the motherfuckin' Sierra logo on there already, they won't complain, didn't they get bought out by Microsoft like twenty year ago? The fuck even IS time...
I think Homestar Runner more than made up for all those terrible banner ads. Inherently INTERACTIVE animation. There was SO much potential to that medium, and they didn't want the end users to have that power. Same reason why Apple killed HyperCard imo
Its so crazy and amazing watching the characters go from looking like fnaf sister location to so much more realistic
Also love Danny, very reminiscent of real dragon animatronics, I can't recall names or places, but if you've watched submechaniphobia videos ykwim
Idk if you know this, but claw machines do have settings for better grips. In arcades they put the settings to random or lower grips to be used much more, then more stronger grips. That way people can keep putting in money.
11:35 i don't say this lightly, but it's almost on the level of Welcome Home itself!
This is an incredible project and much like Welcome Home I have to give props to both the art, and the voice acting, top notch😙🤌❤.
Also have you seen all these Jurassic park analog horror recently? if not will you react to them at some point? Thanks
Link?
Why does this smiley face keep making me think of Evil Otto.
I loved this video!. And I love seeing Cory again even in a small way I appreciate this project for that along with how well made it is
oh that sick jacket tough >.> also the edits are to funny XD
oh my god all the youtuber cameos!
man those guest stars drove me crazy, i wasnt even paying attention to the vod until i recognized a voice, looked over, and saw fuckin 8bitryan (cue heartattack)
Lmao I love seeing so many creators collaborate on a fun project.
It looks like so much fun!
50:00 - NGL To me the best part of the "skipping the swim safety section" bit is that the person skipping it could have been doing so for completely innocent reasons in-universe. As someone who can only tread water at best, I ALSO would have skipped the swim safety rules section as I would have been sticking to the rides and other such attractions and not be anywhere near the swimming pools at all!
I wonder if the Smiley face might also be a real world clue. Throughout the years a number of college age men have been found dead with some form of smiley face besides them. They are called the “smiley face murders”. It’s not confirmed the cases are connected or if murder is actually what happened (often the men are found in bodies of water after disappearing from a night of drinking thus, the idea is that they just got shit faced and drowned. But the autopsies of the cases are always weird. Example; after weeks of being missing a man’s body was found in the water and ruled an accidental death but the thing is the autopsy suggested he had only been dead for a short while, not weeks).
Came for the underwater wonders, stayed for the dream daddy vtuber model XD
Holy crap, I didn't even know this actually started after seeing that one trailer from so long ago.
That commercial segment from Info55 quite literally reminds me of Big Bill Hell’s Cars spoof advertising lmaoooooo 😂
52:58 BOUGHT THE CLAW MACHINE
I can't wait for the rest of this series, Shipwrecked was amazing so I have great expectations for this (are you gonna upload the Shipwrecked vod btw?) The level of effort and attention to detail is just staggering.
Will you also do more "mascot horror analog horror" like Battington's Harmony & Horrors, The Walten Files, and Rainbott's Welcome to Dreamworld/Dreamworld Entertainment?
Welcome to Dreamworld! I love that one!
I know of Battington and Walten, but do you have a link to Dreamworld?
That would be awesome!! :DDDD
@@lunabruce1804Here’s another analog horror you wanna check out!
The Man in The Suit by Ytuber Unkowningly. A Godzilla analog horror series that’s based around a lot of the incidents that occur during the filming of the early Godzilla films.
Never thought id see Baz in a series but you know its decent if it has people like Cory, Dawko, Baz, etc involved
I love everything about this series. The acting, the energy, the animatronics, everything
Edit: I love you, Radical Ray
"Do we *have* to invoke the spider?"
That's foreboding.
The Virtual Tour is, as you say, very much a reminder of old style 1990s games and instructional videos. Though perhaps due to so many years now of ARGs, I need to ask, is the number button pressing really "random" or is there a message inside?
Wait - BOUGHT THE CLAW MACHINE???? That's Kubrick-level detail for movie making!
The website is disturbing to me - The Wanderer's mascot resembles the Hydrophis platurus, or Yellow-bellied Sea Snake ( Without the black markings) , which is the most venomous sea snake in the Pacific and by elimination in New Zealand.( Our only snake, since we count continental shelves now ). Am I the only one who finds that a bit of a concern?
Such a tour de force.
❤️
Hey! It's the guy who made the thing! Good job!
HOLY SHIT ITS THE WAFFLE MAN HIMSELF
I didn't see anyone mention the legend of momo's protector. It's a reference to CoryKenshin. It gave me such a warm feeling when I saw it, almost made me cry T-T
Also this project is FUCKING AMAZING. It reminds me of all the shitty games I'd play in school for education purposes or on my mom's xp laptop. I love the crunchy audio and the janky animations... It's so beautiful. I also remember having old tvs and gaming systems despite being born later than all of them. I hated sesame street. The animatronics remind me of sesame street a lot, very... Not necessarily scary, but uncomfortable. Also, the music is ON POINT!!! I was jamming to the tour music.
The map reminds me of poptropica for some reason.
So the new video posted a month ago, if you enter "STORYTIME" in the bar, you get a crayon drawing of a tree stump with a brown circle trying to obscure something maybe?
I wish I could go back in time and subscribe to the channel when I first found that video! But oh well, I'm here now and I will be waiting VERY. PATIENTLY. to see where this goes!
I can't stop thinking that the narrator sounds like the dude from the "HOLY SHIT, IT'S THE SLENDERMAN! AND HE'S COOKIN WEINERS ON THE STOVE?!"
Big fan of this project, cannot wait for more ❤
23:55 stupid nitpick but all these UA-camrs just makes this feel cheap. Its like seeing someone holding up a sign that says laugh when your supposed to laugh. I can understand having cameo's but when there ALL UA-camrs it just screams "hey look we're cool. See we have all the cool people." It just takes me out of the story and experience. Then again maybe its not meant to be taken seriously.
I think not being taken seriously is a major point to that choice; this project has a strong awareness of its existence as Yet Another Mascot Horror and is playing into that meta comedy, which is great for providing quieter commentary.
For instance: new mascot horror drops! What happens? SUDDENLY A BUNCH OF UA-camRS ALL OVER IT, WOW! Life is now the art.
@@NickNocturneAL honestly with that context i get it. Siren head was just a cool monster until UA-cam got there hands on them and sucked the life out of it. Or dare i bring up the back rooms
this is completely valid. these youtuber lines weren’t collected after the project transitioned into a series. they were actually meant for a skippable intro cutscene for the fan game. emphasis on skippable. I figured it’d be fun to incorporate them into the series, but it dragged on quite a bit (not to mention i had more planned for this video specifically, but i felt rushed to put something out after the success of the trailer). lessons were learned, hence it being my least favorite.
I was daydreaming then suddenly heard my name being shouted… my name being Sally, and it being a little jarring
Saltydkdan just jumpscaring me in a Nick Nocturne video
39:14 its the ride from the beginning of the video
Why does that life vest look like it's made of lead? TvT
The "Come to rip roarin' rapids" vibe
That plush is adorable and I want one.
"Thoughts and Prayers"
Ah claw machines. One of the oldest scams. The original gacha mechanics ahaha
"Welcome to UWU Park- no wait"
I remember going to the shark tunnel at Marine World! It was really cool.
I'm not sure how I feel about the smiley face segment. Since we know how made the original smiley face it feels a little like a weak point to imply it's been around since like; the caveman days or something like that. Awesome psychedelic effects though.
Ooh, I can't wait to see more of this one.
This is cool and all, but can this Wanderer fellow please drop the Caps Lock and use spaces?
Ok. First time seeing his llivestreams. But why is Nick's model giving me feelings?
I remember this when the early FNAF fangames were big. It was just a teaser then
It's unrelated but I really want night mind either live or in a regular night mind vid format to cover gemini home entertainment. Somewhat new to the channel so not sure if it's been addressed already or not but I'm curious on his thoughts due to it being rather creepy and interesting and not having many analog horror tropes or at least not many of the annoying ones.
I didn't expect CG5 XD but given the FNAF inspo in makes sense
Sorry guys, that was actually me outside the cabin. I forgot my phone 😔
WAIT I saw a trailer for this, I completely forgot about it!!!
I’ve watched your stuff and I definitely didn’t know you had a big cat Vtuber model
Neat!
UA-cam rerecommended the Shipwrecked 64 recap to me and I watched it and I enjoyed it and I still wondered why
Now I know xD
That was crazy!
SEAL-IT reminds me of POWER THIRST
I want to play with the spider in the ballpit 😊
I love your vtuber model :D
Oh my god its CG5 23:22
Omg Cory was like a jump scare
OK, yeah, I'm breaking my learking to say that your fursona is so hot 😭 it's unfair!
Has anyone tried "Harvey Ross Ball"? That's the name of the yellow smiley face. IDK if it would do anything, just asking.
...Okay Nick, I'll bite. Why are we going back to animtronics?
Cause this one's actually pretty great.
@NickNocturneAL Too true friendo, too true! Forgot to make an update, but DEAR MERCIFUL LORD THAT WAS AWESOME! I look forword to uncovering... Whatever's going on here! (I'm still kinda confused but I'm fairly certain that's intentional, and not my natural slowness! ...I think!)
will you bite of 87 though
@ExValeFor Check back in 62 years.
18:04 SALTYDKDAN??
does anyone know the names of the voice actors?
The trasharks are cute, my PArtner and I JUST watched a vid on this and im so hype that you did a video too. Something to sink my teeth into!
5:15 I hope they make theses for reals.
Your avatar is so handsome!
Is this fnaf?
nobody in america says 10 dollars 99. its 10 dollars and 99 cents.
I have to actually watch Underwater Wonders. Nick's thick body is way too distracting to focus on anything else.
I cant find the scary
Love from a AstroKnot and Vaush fan!
16:15 Cory jumpscare
Hello, Twitch chat
Yeah no this just dosent hit for me.
Theres a line between tounge in cheek humour and obnoxious and it crosses it very fast.
Scary movie is a apt comparison, as that film is also stuck up its own comedy ass
who hurt you
And yet... I absolutely love Scary Movie! Lol. Different tastes, friend, but that's quite alright. 👍
@@GabeTheWaffle many people but thats unrelated
@@NickNocturneAL No! Everyone must like what i like, this is what the internet has taught me!
Love this video! It finally convinced me-after years of tolerating the insufferable forced personality you inject into your videos-to unsubscribe. There’s nothing wrong with being yourself, but it really gets old after at least three fake laughs. It's a shame because your analysis was genuinely good, and you work really well on scripted videos. But it’s obvious you’re more interested in branching out as a content creator than in providing meaningful analysis anymore.
Also, you can’t and don't do horror (unless of course your minor tangeants and skits are meant to account for anything), so it’s baffling to me why you feel the need to lecture on writing unfiction. But hey, let’s just let your extensive catalog of published horror pieces speak for itself.
Found 3 more key words for the website: LILWONDERS, SEALIT, and DOUG
