* The ride takes on a different level of scary when you realize that the station is designed to resemble a [[UsefulNotes/BayAreaRapidTransit BART]] station. This isn't just some movie-themed ride, this could be you on an actual trip in the BART system. If you grew up around San Francisco in the 80's, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Loma_Prieta_earthquake the premise will sound very familiar]].

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* E.T. Adventure is a great example of unintentional nightmare fuel. Firstly, the animatronic policemen are heavy in the [[UncannyValley Uncanny Valley]] department. Plus E.T.'s friends on the Green Planet look rather...disturbing, to say the least.

* NightmareFuel/JurassicParkRiverAdventure



[[folder:Jurassic Park River Adventure]]
* Right from the start of the ride, even the herbivorous dinosaurs are a bit unsettling, especially the Stegosaurus that suddenly shows up to the right of the boat.
* Even before you start seeing all of the bloodthirsty carnivorous dinosaurs, you know things are going to go downhill when you see another boat stuck at the entrance to the Hadrosaurus section, causing your boat to detour under electrified wire that's been cut into a restricted area marked with danger signs.
* The Dilophosaurus is depicted here in all its glory, first acting all cute and innocent, and then switching to ferocious as it spits its venom at you (even if it's just water).
* Velociraptors popping out of the dark at you when you're inside the building. The Hollywood version even has a raptor that pops out at you ''from the ceiling''.
** Also at Hollywood, they amplify this 10x during Halloween Horror Nights by placing statues of Velociraptors brutally ripping JP scientists apart and lighting it all up with strobes.
* And of course, there's the massively imposing Tyrannosaurus itself getting so close to the vehicle that you could almost touch it, before you're sent down in ''85 foot'' drop.
* The Japanese version is a lot more intense, the finale has you going through the shipping area, which is much bigger here, and you see shadow of the dinosaurs moving about and some trying to get into the doorways, which a few are rattling about. While it eventually has the dinosaurs pop out, it does a much better job at unsettling you and making your really believe your in a danger zone.
