I’m a Jenny Nicholson fan who is now very invested in the fate of this park. Thank you for the update! It’s too bad they’re still being shady about what they’re up to.
See, I was already a fan of hers, but when I first saw the Evermore video I was like, yeah I don't have four hours. BUT THEN. I am also one of those crazy rabid Sanderson fans. And suddenly people were tying his name to rumors about the park. And one day her video popped back up again. And I was like, wait, now I want to learn more. So I watched it in chunks over the past couple of days. And that led me to Bob's channel. And now I am super invested in what happens with this park. I mean. Spoiler alert, a big thing has happened since you posted. But. Still.
My school was supposed to hold prom there this year. We made the down payment, but they cancelled on us and we haven't gotten the money back. This was all just a few days ago.
I feel like they could’ve made more money by catering and advertising to host those types of private events especially after they took away the long storylines
@@BobAtEvermore yes! Sorry, I didn't see this. I was planning on responding to your more recent video and talking about the situation. We got to have prom there outdoors.
Yeah at first I just figured it was fake hair but it looked very real. I know costumers can do very realistic facial hair but I'm pretty confident he really did just record it in reverse and shave.
I wanted to say thank you for all you do with this channel, I don’t find many people putting out evermore content as frequently or as much as you do but this channel gives amazing information I wouldn’t have known otherwise. I really hope evermore stays open :)
This was really well done and cannot have been easy, filming editing, reviewing and explaining so much. The care for all the members of the community that form Evermore from the traders to the set designers really shines through. I hope you get to do debriefs of the cast and crew and dedicated fans and traders and admin from over the years so they can have a voice. Also I did not realise how funny you were and hope to hear more explanations of whatever new experiences you choose to review whatever happens to evermore
Appreciate the video and what information you could provide! I do hope they plan on opening for the next season. Also, very impressed by your facial hair growth when talking about the Aurora season. Must be the magic of Evermore!
I think that evermore needs to better monetize and structure it's systems. If you had a "season pass" (to use a video game term) for quest lines while having the park be free it would allow more people to get into it. Especially if the season pass gave you like an amulet that you added things to as you finished the season quest (Themed to the season). I think that would be a good keepsake, and be something for free guests to see and ask about. They could ask try making some signature drinks like butter beer that you could only get there. (There are so many easy ideas to turn things around financially)
They were selling season passes at one point on their website, but they were egregiously expensive for the time the park was open and they also didn’t really work because of the disorganization of the staff. People reported that you would show up with a pass and then staff would have no idea what you were talking about. So a good idea but they weren’t able to pull it off. Just Evermore things I guess
I would not take the google listing that its permanently closed as gospel. A company will do that while transitioning between ownerships, tradmarks/brands, etc, so it doesnt necessarily mean its gone forever (it also could just be bad information thats been reported, as google themselves has to take the word of whatever theyre told)
Is it a theme park or theme experience? I’ve heard about Evermore but have felt it lacks a cohesive idea? Is it Narnia, The Hobbit, something of its own, or Burning Man for kids? I think Evermore will be no more soon due to its lack of direction. As a consumer looking in I wouldn’t pay for travel, lodging and tickets for an experience that has no clear direction.
It’s an attempt at a themed experience but it’s lacking much to do so it’s more of just a themed outdoor kinda general fantasy “village” that could serve as a really nice venue. Though the concept of a burning man for kids is kinda hilarious.
@@zoeg5304 It's a tragedy to all who invested time and energy into Evermore, which is now, unfortunately, no more. Maybe that Burning Man for Kids idea would have been more profitable.
As an ex-theater nerd I love the idea of a park like this and it’s a bummer what’s happened to it. I’m just amazed though how small ball all of the numbers seem to be and how little the owner has cared over the years. There are plenty of Ren Faires that do exactly this even with stories and plots but like do it well so I know it’s a viable concept.
Subscribed! (And liked). Definitely wanna be in the loop if/when you get any more news. If anything comes out from Team Dragonsteel I'll try to pass it along.
I was desperately excited about this park before it opened but I could see from the beginning that they didn’t know what they were doing. There was no attempt to make people more aware of the characters outside of walking through the park which didn’t make people want to go. It was also badly priced for families which is the primary demographic given the location.
Idk man I think this walk through small attraction experience would be better for general audiences families and whatnot just looking for something quick during the holiday season. This also seems much more economical from a managerial perspective.
I think it's odd that I've spent more time watching videos about the park and it's dysfunctional apparatus / management than visiting. Such promise wasted so far.
@@sari9645 hey, I'm not saying it's not beautiful in theory. It just has NEVER worked being implemented 💯%. Because, humans are human and shitty and greedy. Someone will always find a way to have more than someone else and it gets all fuqed up. Like in the soviet union, North Korea, Cuba etc. At least in a capitalist place u can have ur own biz, make ur own rates, ur own $ when u feel like ur getting the shit end of the stick
@@carcrashjaysonNot directly related to the video at all, just a growing problematic movement that is turning young boys into toxic men. One of their key "red pill" talking points is that nerdy and sensitive guys that don't have an "alpha" body don't have a chance in the "sexual marketplace" (gross). Somehow that's all women's fault. Seeing this kind, interesting dude who is the opposite of an "alpha male" and has a wife and kids and seems to have a wonderful relationship and family, seemed to me like a great counter-point to the incel/red pill propaganda. And it's not a "if this guy can do it, anyone can" argument because he is just a regular dude who likes theme parks, it's just a clear example that you can be yourself and be honest and open about who you are and people will dig it and be into you.

@@macmay3042y’all watch more hours of mindless content tbh while on shorts or tip top
"2024's gonna be a good year for us."
4 weeks later - aaaaaaand, it's closed.
Jenny is going to be devastated.
"you'll see a pretty big change coming up"
~closes park~
It’s concerning that he was willing to say all of this on the record but they make no attempt to communicate this info to the public.
My school was supposed to hold prom there this year. We made the down payment, but they cancelled on us and we haven't gotten the money back. This was all just a few days ago.
oh shoot that is so wild
Aww that would've been so fun :((

hey @marymohr2799 is it true that the new owners still let y'all do the prom there?

The facial hair time reversal was surreal as hell. Loved it!
About halfway through the video, I expected it to end with Bob having a ponytail and a beard to his navel🤣

8:30 not the glasgow willy wonka experience 💀

thank you so much for saying this
Each of the Era's cuts has me dying. 10/10
Bob you truly are the hero of Evermore
Oh Evermore, you know how to draw me in, and then you always find a way to disappoint...
Another banger
Also you grew a mustache halfway through this.
yeah, it keeps doing that, it's super annoying
16:55 These cuts for the moustache to look naturally implemented are hilariously creative

this is an extremely kind comment, thank you so much for taking the time to say something like this.
Honestly, you could narrate the painting of a brick wall and it would be one of the most engaging things on CZcams. Well done!
All the information you broke down, plus all the video clips, this is one of your best yet! Very well executed. :)
Thank you so much for making these videos bob!! Our reporter on the ground! The information you put out is so important.
thank you, that is so nice
@@BobAtEvermoreI really hope you continue making videos even now that evermore is closed.
Bob in his Swiftie era
Lot of great information. Well, not 'great' information. But information I need to know. Thank you. Also, I love the growing facial hair.
I appreciate what you do it’s always nice to get updates from your channel they’re always well balanced
Appreciate the video and what information you could provide! I do hope they plan on opening for the next season. Also, very impressed by your facial hair growth when talking about the Aurora season. Must be the magic of Evermore!
Very informative video, longer than usual ones on this channel, but still i found it helpful to know what is happening with Evermore Park currently.
Thanks for the update and finding these answers. One day I'll re-enter the portal if it's still there

Great vid Bob! Thanks for all the hard work and research you put into these updates. Looking forward to whatever the park has in store for us.
As of today (3/21), Google says the park is permanently closed 👀
yep! accurate.
And now (3/30) temporarily closed 😅?
relationship status: it's complicated
I've heard the park just got repossessed by the bank. So I would say it's most likely gone forever.
Who did you hear that from?
No one is going to mention bob’s ever changing facial hair in this video??? Just me????
The effects of being a world walker
I was not expecting to see my drawings in this 23:10

My wife and I traveled to Evermore every october for Halloween. Them closing is very sad news.

thank you so much!!
My question is this. Do they have a place like Evermore anywhere else in the world?
if there is, I'd like to make videos about that place instead
There is something similar being built in Gainesville, Florida.
Meow Wolf is a sci-fi version of this concept, and there are three. Highly recommend!
I saw the evermore train and multiple shipping containers in the parking lot of the Grid.
lol homie literally moved it across the street?

I miss you so much Bob. ❤❤❤
this made my day. i was literally just thinking of you earlier this week. one of my favorite people of all time.
I hope they are fixing all the problems and then will reopen it for the better. But i've been burned from them before.
Permanently closed
Bob this shit rocks
I see what you did there. I saw the thumbnail and thought that maybe they were hiring Joe Rhode.
oh, lol, they couldn't afford a pinky toenail of that wonderful man

Well…this hasn’t aged well 😢
