- Tales from the Okefenokee was a dark ride at Six Flags Over Georgia from 1967 - 1980. This second version of the ride began in 1968 and features the critters from Joel Chandler Harris' Uncle Remus stories.
Obviously this ride was a cute family ride, but the way this old footage is edited together, and the odd discordant music, makes it rather creepy.
This is my favorite David Lynch film.
I remember the carrots's compressed air sound and I remember "beware beware go back go back " before the swamp
That ride used to scare me to death when I was little! I think I kept my eyes closed most of the way through! lol
Because Sid and Marty Krofft were some weird dudes, dude. Keep in mind that they're the ones responsible for H.R. Pufnstuf and Sigmond and the Sea Monsters.
TexasCindy kinda rude
I wouldn't go near it as a kid. I was afraid of the dark, I think I made my parents promise not to make me ride it. I remember it like it was yesterday.
The actual music used in the ride was more dixieland than this psycho-techno riff. The dark ride had been redesigned by the Kroffts. It was a lot of fun at the time.
Yea. There was once "The World of Sid and Marty Krofft" at the Omni in Atlanta. They had something real close to this back in the mid 1970s, But had their own characters.
They were opened for six months to a year and then they had to close because their attraction was not popular.
i heard they closed because the area had wino's and hookers it's been said it would have lasted longer if it was in buckhead
I remember Tales Of The Okefenokee ride too , but it could not compete with Disney Splash Mountain . Six Flags did it first before Disney !
Who's here because of Defuntland?
Me
Me too✌️😁

Obviously I am, since I was born in 1990 and have lived in Western Canada for my entire life, I never would have heard about this ride any other way.
Why do people hate this is incredible for its time
ARE YOU FUCKING HIGH?
For a non disney park...yeah. I don't think a lot of people hate it, but rather enjoy the creepy vibe some of the weird looking figures give off. especially when their eyes move in impossible directions and the rest of their body remains still. This is similar to hallucinations people experience while on psychedelic drugs
Watch the language
ha very trippy XD i wish i got to experience this ride.. =.=

That is some trippy sh*t. Love it though!
This ride gives me nightmares 😣
It really was cool, had to see it to believe it!
cute ride
before disney's splash mountain there was six flags's tales from the okefenokee!
I'm in THAT area of TH-cam again! 😸🙈💀
I'm scared
The carrots are so terrifying
@@patrickisebola6390 I dont think im ever eating one again
Where did this footage come from?? It’s been driving me batty
Song?
Five Nights at Okefenokee
It's NOT FNAF, so shut up!
This goes by so fast.
If this ride would make you scared, splash mountain would make you catatonic.
Splash Mountain is actually less creepy bc the character designs aren't that scary as this one. I think it is bc this ride is older.
@@ThatMelonGirlWell of course they aren’t scary, two brothers named Sid and Marty Kroft worked and designed the characters for this ride, if you looked at their other creations they look rather unsettling, splash mountains only scary when you ride it late at night alone or the huge drops it has
@@SlushysSecret Or maybe it’s scary if the music and stuff is too loud for you. I’m not really a fan of noisy rides, a huge example is the Figment imagination one, which also has 2 of my misophonia triggers in it.
@@ThatMelonGirl you mean as in the sound in splash or okee?
@@SlushysSecret Either or.
My mom and dad went on that ride when they we’re dating I think it was in the 70s
Really? Is that true?
The Monster Plantation was 'improved' in 2009, but it didnt' change names or even features. The park hyped up the improvements, which were embellished after experiencing the ride for yourself. Nothing had changed with the exception of a new photo cam feature and practically all of the characters were now working as opposed to the 80% or so in previous years. Basically, the improvements should have been made all along since the ride's inception, not just a big PR campaign to renew its recognition
Lol it was made not racist in 2009. Which is why it changed from plantation to mansion. That's about the time we really cared about the losing side's statues and how they needed to go away.
@@aftersexhighfivesSure the name change was necessary, but the ovoverhaul wasn't because of racism, it was to upgrade the ride, since all the bots were worn out, nothing about the ride changed at all
@@SlushysSecret the name change itself was
@@aftersexhighfives to simply bring light to an attraction that hadn’t gotten anything since the 80s
@@SlushysSecret oh and it just was a coincidence it happened just as 95% if the confederate statues were taken down? Being blind to racism and the history of slavery on plantations doesn't mean you're somehow more refined. You're just a revisionist and doomed to repeat history you refuse to accept happened.
Please sir, may we have some more footage?
Search up Tales of the Okefenokee
This reminds me of Disneyworld splash mountain
Trippy..
Where can I find a video of the full ride
Okay This is Getting Creepy by Don't Hug Me Im Scared 😓
Fester was here!
@mjbivouac I know right? I mean if we heard what the characters were saying, then maybe we could get a better idea of what the ride was like.
What's this song you used? Also how did you get the footage? It looks professionally taped.
i also keep trying to find the song
@@jad3377 The song is "Sound Collider" by John Baker.
@@goatprince1 is it on spotify? i cant find it there. but thx
@@jad3377 You can listen to it here: www.universalproductionmusic.com/en-row/discover/albums/8568/quirky-retro-tech
You can't download it, however, so you'll have to record the audio with OBS or something
That is so scary
What musical instruments where used in this?
Was the plantation house always the facade? If not, what was the facade for tales from the okefenokee?
I'm over a week late on this, but as it turns out, that depiction of the facade on the map is 100% false - it was nothing more than an early proof-of-concept illustration of what the ride's exterior may have been intended to look like at one point. In reality, the building housing the attraction was essentially just a huge, borderline-featureless wooden box constructed with vertical board-and-batten walls, the building itself largely being obscured by a series of tall decorative lattices and other garden-like structures which boxed in the queue area.
Here's a picture of a nearby attraction taken from an angle that allows you to see the side of the Okefenokee building:

And here's a link for hard-to-find photographs of the ride which contains a handful of pictures that show off the lattice walls and queue area:

@@goatprince1 Pretty good pictures, thanks!
What's the music it's interesting
"Sound Collider" by John Baker; you can see it in the description of the video. It's from some kind of bizarre seventies-inspired synth album from the 2000s. I've heard that the footage in the video comes from a documentary or promotional film from 1969, so I'm hoping I can track it down and upload it with its original audio intact.
@@goatprince1 thanks
@@goatprince1 Do you know whats the video's called?
It's apparently from a documentary called, "Six Flags Over Georgia: The Early Years".
@@goatprince1 Do you happen to have it? I do want to hear this but without the music thats playing.
This video creeps me out
Does anybody know what happened to BrenBill's channel? He had uploaded what was essentially the full soundtrack to this ride, but about three or four days ago as of this comment, all of his videos went private or something and can't be viewed anymore. Here's the link to the video I'm talking about, which just shows up with the "This video is unavailable" message: th-cam.com/video/vY8awNR8LdM/w-d-xo.html
THE MAN Yeah I wanted to watch it today and it was gone I was going to make a animated short of the ride but No so I have to use the soundtrack from Chuck’s dark rides but I’m doing ALOT of pitch shifting
Yeah your right I finished editing the soundtrack because I’m making this for 2 reasons 1. This is for a friend and 2. I pitched it back and tried to edit with my lack luster skills I know I shouldn’t be using it anyway but I want to make it for my friends and you guys so you can see my talent as a Animatior I also made a joke in the script for when the characters talk before they get on the ride “The Animator wanted to get this out so that’s why the soundtrack is shorter then it should be” (looks at the camera) “Thanks” BTW why did you delete the comment
If you've seen my reply to AlTheGameFreak on the video featuring the 1967 version of the ride, I actually mention the uploads from Chuck's Dark Rides, which I think are particularly interesting for a number of reasons. First of all, even though the creator of the website seems to have contacted Tim Hollis (who runs a pop-culture museum and inexplicably owns the original audio reels for the ride), the quality of each upload is just absolutely appalling, and the fact that they're all pitched incorrectly doesn't help. Those files aren't exactly desirable, to say the least, but they're unfortunately the only thing we have until another breakthrough occurs. Secondly, there are countless instances of little bits and pieces of missing audio on that website, sometimes even major sections. The most egregious examples are the theme song that would play in the loading queue ("So the story goes in the Okefenokee..."), which the site only provides a measly little sixteen-second clip of (whereas the full song is supposedly a four whole minutes long going by the ride's DAFE article) and the first song from the Crow Quartet, which is missing altogether.
I wouldn't use any of the uploads from Chuck's Dark Rides for an animation, because until we have access to the original source audio again, we're basically just stuck with crude garbage. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no idea when we _will_ have access to the original audio again, and that's one of the main issues here. Even before BrenBill's video became private, I was trying to get my hands on it and attempt to make a video featuring it along with significant observations that I've made regarding both the ride and the audio. Aside from making three attempts to contact AlTheGameFreak to no avail, I've also tried asking CECArizona and BrenBill to re-upload the unedited audio files, because they seem like they have access to to them as well, but unfortunately I haven't gotten a reply out of anybody yet. At the very least, I'm finally getting to discuss this problem with someone again.
The reason my reply was deleted is because when I was trying to click the "Edit" button, I accidentally clicked "Delete" instead. Truly a tragic story, but I wrote another version immediately afterwards as you can see above.
It’s still I’m going to animate it and post it when the better audio comes out I will reupload it with the better audio is that a good deal? Since November I have been practicing drawing the characters so I finally want to make it after so long I fixed the pitching quite a bit it’s actually close to BrenBill’s but the quality is still bad but because it’s for fun and for my friend I think I’ll still do it
Why is that rabbit carving a turkey?
Is this real
monster mansion on top 🙏🙌❤️
WTF was that?!? 🤨😕
That music is nightmarish.
that looked a some what creepy to me

Name of song
Sound Collider by John Baker
Can you show me link
It's on this page: www.universalproductionmusic.com/en-row/discover/albums/8568/quirky-retro-tech
I can't find it, will you upload the song on youtube
@@GiantSquid-ie4gn It's in the bottom third of the page. Just do crtl+f and type "sound collider" if you can't find it. You can't download any of the songs directly, so you'll have to record the audio with OBS or something.
What’s with the weird music
This is creepy
I thought that was chuck e cheese 0:28
That’s a Bear not a RAT!!!
Guys, that's a fox.
@@cutiecookiecreme That's their version of Br'er Bear
@@alexdionisos Look at the hat
@@cutiecookiecreme I see it now. That's mr. Fox
What the fuck did I just watch? 🤔
I don't remember this
What year were you born? The ride existed from 1968 to 1980.
THE MAN th-cam.com/video/WuOvb-hP7c4/w-d-xo.html j made a history video about it!
Idubbbz.
Back when Georgia was White.
Imagine feeling threatened by the mere existence of other races of people.
@@goatprince1 existing allover the land my people fought for. Same thing when I lived in Sweden, covered in africans. You're just antiWhite.
@@Whitejesselink The descendants of African slaves who were brought to the state of Georgia against their will _don't_ deserve to live in the state, correct? Yet the descendants of the British, who colonized Georgia on their own accord, _do_ deserve to live there? There is no reasoning with you daft morons.
@@Whitejesselink Also, I find it very interesting that you didn't comment on the fact that Tales of the Okefenokee was a ride based on the folktales of Br'er Rabbit, a character squarely belonging to the very race of people you wish would be eliminated from the state of Georgia.
nonWhites be creepystinky
There maybe that helps you understand.
Hi there! This footage is amazing. I am doing a fanmade story about this ride for youtube and would love to use this footage. If that would be ok, I would include a link to your channel as well as credit you in the videos description.
If you haven't already found it, I have the original eight-minute Tales of the Okefenokee "sample reel" that the footage in this video comes from on my channel. It contains shots of every scene except for the arsenal cave, and it isn't totally blurry and discolored like the footage here. My upload actually isn't the best in quality, but I have a download for the native-resolution version in the description.
