Me too! I love surreal stuff that makes people uncomfortable without even knowing why. I noticed a few things that might have caused some people to feel this.
- The blurriness of the faces (Just like in your dreams, the faces of the people in the clips are extremely vague and you can't identify real facial features)
- The music and sounds (The volume is fading in and out, screaming can be heard over the music, even though the camera is extremely close to some of the attractions the music still seems very distant much like in many dreams)
- The smoothness of the animation (The animation is so smoothly done that it's almost as if it moves slightly slower than it should. This is exactly like in the dreams of most people)
Could be totally wrong idk. Just love this kinda stuff!

Spherethon: For the spherethon to make riders float, it would need a top speed of 40 MPH, plus, the top level riders, couldn't float upside down, without a sort of "electric machine" to be able to elevate the top row riders upside down, also, how will you get them up there, and since these elevated carousel rides are slow, how will you float, and what restraints will you use.
The Wedding Cake: for the wedding cake, the speed of how it would elevate up is 60MPH, with G forces of 4.5, and how quickly it decelerates, restraints would be completely unstable and snap off, launching riders into the air, and plummeting about 40 ft. if it was waist restraints if would slide you out, dislocating and breaking your legs and kneecaps, if that didn't happen the swinging on the final time would be enough to reach 6 G's and launch you out of your seat, killing you on impact.
High Altitude Conveyance: like mentioned, the high altitude conveyance takes 14 hours, and waiting another 14 hours for new passengers to board, you would go 28 hours without food or water, which is dangerous for the human body and especially for kids, since you would pretty much um... starve, not to death, but you would start going absolutely bonkers, as the human mind cannot go more than a day without food before it starts to go crazy.
The Expander: The expander goes up to 5.3 G's when extending, and for a kids ride... you would um... faint, and plus, since it would use seatbelts, the chord would snap off and fling you 20 feet into the air, causing major injuries when hitting the ground, possibly even, death.
Dandelion: The dandelion is a really fun and compact design, although rides like this do exist, the don't have the 2 extra frisbee like seats, also, when the seats are expanding you would hit a max of 2.7 G's final, but how would people board, without waiting a max 4 minutes hanging up there, combined 12 minutes for full boarding ,and an extra 30 seconds for carefully and slowly lowering the frisbee like seats, for a max of 13 minutes and 30 seconds, which could cause a blackout, or even, a red out for hanging upside down for too long
Steam Pressure Catapult/SPC: the SPC would hit a max 10 G's, which would kill you in 10 seconds without protection (AS DEMONSTRATED IN TOP GUN MAVERICKS 10G STUNT) plus, the route is connected to the main one, which would snap off the whole disk and send passengers flying, also, where is the track to return, its just a death ride pretty much, also, it would be enough to dislocate all you limbs due to the max speed of about 220 MPH
ScwingingMachine: The Schwiningmachine would break your spine, and dislocate both of your arms, then dislocate your ankles, worse yet your eyes would be pushed back by the wind, keeping you blind forever, and since it decelerates so fast, the restraints would break your ribs, although if it was one that goes to your waist it would dismember your torso keeping intact your arms and head, and when hitting the ground fast, you would travel about 140 ft from the ride, and your legs would land somewhere else, to achieve that you would need a WHOPPING 67 G's to pull that off, and astronauts on the Apollo 11 only reached 6.1 G's, on the other side, the rides G forces would destroy the entire ride in just a couple milliseconds, which would launch you out of your seats and kill you instantly.
NOT A GOOD WAY TO DIE PEOPLE, NOT A GOOD WAY
PS: these are actual facts
Edit: I’M NOT CRITICIZING THE FILM I’M JUST TRYING TO GIVE YALL SOME INFO ABOUT THE RIDES
Edit 3: Thx for the likes Y’all made my day 😃

I love this video. I've been clinging to the mental images for like four years. It's such a solid settle into a sudden uncanny valley per each ride. And I think it's due to the concept that humans innately have a basic understanding of how physics work, even if it's not by name of numbers. they can look at something and go "something about this doesn't seem right." Not to mention they all start out pretty damn plausible (look at the Wedding Cake, for example) and actually based off of real amusement park rides, but then they suddenly and rapidly devolve into unreality. That switch is enough to catch you off-guard.
And the scale of everything invokes a fear too on an instinctive level. The "Steam Pressure Catapult" is a fantastic depiction of that scale in conjunction with the physics because it almost looks like it could work in theory until you see the cars launch and actually notice the paths of the tracks and how there seems to be no real way for the cars to change tracks like they're shown to. But at the same time, it makes you sort of question it.
High Altitude Conveyance doesn't delve so much into uncanny valley due to the absurdity of the concept, though. Especially when you hear the "14 hour ride" part. That's literally the travel time from Virginia to Florida by car. That one is simultaneously the most feasible and the most ludicrous, even if just by description. And yet, it still feels like it might be possible.
At least that's my interpretation of why all of it comes across as dreamlike or almost creepy to some folks. The actual graphics work is outstandingly realistic though. You can only really tell when each one goes from footage to 3DCG fabrication if you know what to look for. It's just subtle enough for most people not to notice it though, and in terms of technical ability that's fantastic and honestly better than I've seen in some Hollywood films. Not even for just an independent filmmaker, this is amazing. This stuff is amazing with a team of people who've been doing this for 30 years. As weirdly pretentious as this sounds, it looks almost like it could be real in a different universe just off-kilter from parallel to this one. One where physics work ever so slightly different, or humans can withstand just a little more extreme physical strain without injury or death. It all looks PLAUSIBLE, just not here.
Also apologies for any janky topic-switching. I have severe ADHD (borderline autism?) and my god is this a hell of a lot to take in no matter how many times I watch it. But I also have a special interest in horror and film design so I kind of have a feel for why things have the effect they do.
@ElNingyou
These clips are the most genuinely dreamlike footage I've ever seen. It's like looking at actual dreams, and it's quite unsettling.

+ElNingyou Incredibly interesting point.

Agreed, that is a really interesting point of view. Thanks for sharing, that definitely rattled my perspective a bit.
@honeybunny222
especially the Ferris wheel one... I love how hazy the camera is. Maybe that's why it's so dreamlike ❤
