I Tested 1-Star vs 5-Star Waterparks

I'm testing the worst one-star water park in America versus the best five-star water park in the entire world. I'll be testing the most thrilling rides, the most common complaints, and the amenities at each park in order to find out just how big of a difference is a one-star versus five-star water park experience. And as a grown man, I was genuinely terrified to ride the world's scariest water slide, which you'll see later in this video. Leaving my hometown of Dallas, let's fly to literally the worst rated water park in all of America. Starting with Six Flags Hurricane Harbor in Phoenix, Arizona. This is also opening day, I might add, so I think the vibe around here, everyone is really excited. And let's see if this park upgraded from last season because, folks, some of the reviews were quite terrible. It's about to open up in like two minutes. Now, despite looking cool, this park comes up as the worst water park in America for literally every search engine because of the thousands upon thousands of terrible reviews, with the biggest complaints being that it's dirty, overpriced, and extremely long lines. They're gonna get ahead of us. Come on, we gotta get a table, come on, hurry! Summer! Is this a good one or no? Honestly, off to a good start, the wave pool was crystal clear and I had no complaints. But let's see if that trend continues as we check out the rest of the park. Woo, that was nice. Starting with our first water slide. We're about to ride the Anaconda. It's a two-person ride. Let's do it. Let's go. Oh, by the way, on their website, they categorize all the rides by a thrill level, on a scale of one to five, and the Anaconda is evidently a three. There's only one level five thrill ride called the Bahama Blaster, so naturally, we'll do that last. Bro, this thing is twisty and turny. Is it supposed to be leaking like that? This is probably normal. I don't mean to be overdramatic. Please let me know in the comments, but it did frighten me. Oh, shoot! Ah! It's going faster than that! Oh my, she said heavier person in the back, I'm heavier than you! Ah, shoot! Oh! Ah! Let's go. Let's go, let's go! Let's go, let's go, let's go! Is this water available for us or no? Or is that just lifeguards? I'm pretty sure it's just for lifeguards. Okay, no worries. The reason I asked that is because Arizona is infamous for scorching heat, and a lot of the reviews did mention the park running out of bottled water. So just trying to figure out all my options, because I really don't want to resort to drinking wave pool water. What do you guys think of this water park? It's fun. It's pretty lit, I'm not gonna lie. Is this your first time here? No. We're on season passes. Oh, season passes, okay. You guys never had a bad experience here, though? Nah, never. It's just the lines are long, but that's gonna happen. Let's go, hey, maybe we'll go on a ride later. Appreciate you guys. For being the worst water park in America, according to the internet, it seemed like the vibes were good, although my feet were burning. So, they do have mist, which is nice, because if you're not in the mist, your feet are burning. Time to go on the Big Kahuna! The Big Kahuna is a level four thrill ride, and the line does not look too bad right now. Slowing it down a bit, is it just me, or is this lady a little too close to falling over the edge? I could be just being dramatic, but nevertheless, I was scared. Oh, shoot. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! The first two rides were actually a lot of fun. Right now, I'm gonna go look at the map. Oh. Show them the wave pool. It's getting busy out here, folks. Which is why I had to find the map, because I had to make sure I rode the best rides before this park closes. It's tornado time! Okay, I don't know why, but rides like this actually scare me, especially after seeing how rusted this stairwell is. My goodness. I mean, that's gotta break eventually, right? They should probably fix that. The stairs are decaying a bit. Are you guys ready for this ride? Yeah, yes sir, yes sir. Do you mind if I go with you? Yeah, let's go. I'm glad I found some riding buddies, but when I got to the top, I did see something rather strange. There was this huge pile of bracelets that seems to be some sort of tradition at this park to throw them here, which might seem like harmless fun, but low-key, I could picture some kid trying to reach and grab one, which is obviously extremely dangerous. They should probably clean this up. Oh shoot, here we go! Yo guys, are you having fun at this water park? Yeah! Is there anything about this water park that you don't like, or no? The wasps. There's a lot of wasps around here. And the wait time. The wait time, wait time. I actually haven't seen a wasp. Oh wait, there actually is one on your head, dude. Huh? Ow, my feet, my feet. We still have to check out the most thrilling ride in the park, AKA the Bahama Blaster, but right now, I wanted to check out the Adventure River. We're waiting for a tube. We got one! Right now, this is more like the calm before the storm. I got water in my ear. It's bright as crap. It looks very clean, though. I don't know why the review said dirty. Probably because it's the first day of the season. That's a good point, Gavin, and this was not a good idea to try to get this shot. All right, guys, now we're looking at some snack options. The lines don't look that long for some of these. Maybe this is a restaurant? This line looks relatively long, but also, it's kind of moving fast. In here, it does smell a little funky, but what do you expect? Wet people, food. And although it smelled funky, they did appear to have some solid food options. And thankfully, waters were still in stock with electrolyte packets. Was the food expensive? Yes. I guess we are technically at a theme park, so keep that in mind. Nevertheless, that's a lot of money. Does it taste good? To be determined. Does it taste pretty good? Only downside was the price. What do you think, Gavin? There wasn't very much chicken in the chicken tenders, and the burger tasted a little bit like metal. In other news, we have the two best rides left at the park, and as you can see, the lines are getting a lot longer. I don't know if we're gonna make it, guys. As I was in line, I noticed the rust yet again. And look, I know we're in the desert with big metal structures and water, but I do feel like it's a bit excessive. Let me know what you guys think in the comments. Joe, do you guys think that's gonna break? Yeah. You do? Yes. No. It's going faster than I thought. Oh, my God. Oh, you're backwards. Ah, here we go. Oh, my God, some air time. I got hang time. Ah! Let's go, bro. We did it. All right, guys, the park closing soon. We gotta go to the Bahama Blaster. I would like to officially apologize for being so dramatic, but I did wanna catch this ride before the park closed. This is the craziest ride at the park. It's the only level five through. When I send you guys down, make sure you guys are always holding on to the handles with both hands. Oh! Ah! Oh! Ah! It's pitch black! Oh! Ah! Honestly, I don't think Hurricane Harbor deserves as much hate as it's gotten, and I had a good time. However, it absolutely pales in comparison to the next water park we're going to all the way in Tenerife, Spain. And folks, I'll say this, prepare to be amazed. And now we're at Siam Park, literally the best water park in the entire world for 10 years in a row. It's an hour before the opening, and there are people already lining up. And these people are here early at this water park from all over the world, because once again, this is literally the best water park in the entire world. I'm sorry, I'll try not to say that again. I just feel like I really have to clarify that because I know I can be a bit dramatic sometimes. We're getting escorted to the house right now. This is VIP treatment. That's right. I booked a house in the water park, AKA a casa, and it comes with all-inclusive tickets for unlimited food and fast passes on all the rides, which is music to my ears. And when you book the casa, you literally get private access to this section of the park. This is crazy, guys. I cannot believe this is a water park. Where are we? The vibe so far kept reminding me of those popular YouTube videos of those guys building the water parks in the jungle, which quite frankly was exciting. Let's go. Alas, we're at the private casa with the highlight definitely being the private balcony overlooking the front of the park. And now's a good time to tell you guys I have a confession to make. I am not by myself. That's right. I brought two other friends who are also YouTubers. I think it's a good time to introduce them. What's your name, chap? Daniel Dantic, Dantic for short. What's your name? Michael Chanin, hey. This water park doesn't know what's about to hit them. Dan, I've heard you're a little scared of water parks. Is that true? Only if the tower of power, that thing looks scary. That's because it's the world's scariest water slide. And naturally we will go on that last to end our day at Siam Park. Our villa's over there. There's like no one in this wave pool right now for some reason, which I made sure to change. But little did I know later on, this wave pool literally sends ocean-like waves that sweep you away. I'm coming back when the wave pool comes on. While the wave pool isn't on yet, other rides just opened up and we're starting out with a bang. We're about to ride the dragon. You can kind of see the outside of it from the other side of the park. I guess we'll try to get a view of what the dragon looks like on the inside. I'm scared. Bro. Hang time. Huh? Hang time. What's that? YouTube. Talk about an epic first ride. Let's keep exploring, shall we? I love this little rock bridge they have going on here. What I've noticed is this park is very nature-y. Like, it feels like we're in the jungle. And to keep from getting lost in the jungle, they have maps everywhere, which helped me find the next ride we're going on, The Giant. I love the Siam Park themed tubes too. I would expect nothing less from the best water park in the world. The Giant. Fast pass. Dan, was this ride named after you? Yes. Oh, and good news. While I was in line, I found out that I was allowed to wear my camera on my head. Wait, I'm not in. Oh. Oh! Oh, bro, this is sick. Oh, it's like a thumbnail. Oh, shoot. Oh, wait, I'm backwards. I'm backwards. Ah! Dude. My friends and I were having an absolute blast so far, but I'm curious what other people thought. How are you enjoying this water park? We are enjoying great. We are coming with our school. Oh, what school? Instituto Mediterraneo in El Bendre. What do you think the scariest ride is? Tower of Power. It's amazing. You can breathe because of the water in your face. Yes, yes. You can see anything. You can't breathe? It's like three seconds, but you go so fast that it's scary. It's really scary to me. I'm going to go on that last in my vlog. These guys were super nice, but I got to admit they made me more scared to go on the Tower of Power later. But right now, it's time to find the other best adrenaline rides that this park has to offer. Right after I check out this map to figure out where I'm going. We're about to go on a streak of three insane rides. Starting with Saifa, a high-speed race water coaster. Nothing like being at the best water park in the world. Am I right? We're almost at the very top of Safiya. What's up, bro? And as you can see, they've got those cool flags up there. Are you guys scared? No. No? I'm scared. Me? How much do you weigh? I was asking Dan how much he weighed because it's heavier person in the back and I'm actually heavier. Also, we're definitely above the combined weight limit. So, let's see how this goes. Oh! Bro, it's actually way too fast. Oh my goodness. Oh! Oh, that's sick. That's sick. Oh, wow. Oh! Oh, wow. Oh! Wee! Oh, air timing! That ride was aggressively fun. Let's move on, shall we? I like how this park is very interactive. Look at that waterfall. While this park is very nature-themed, this next ride called The Volcano gives some very futuristic vibes. Guys, we're at the top. We're about to go on The Volcano. Things are about to get pretty explosive. Where are you from, guys? Texas. America, Texas. Oh! We're stuck. Oh! Honestly, I was not expecting the light show inside of The Volcano ride. This was a cool surprise. Would you look at that? The gigantic wave pool just started. Let's go check it out. What's the scariest ride at this park? I think it's the power tower one. No, no, no. You cross down one by one. Have you been yet? No, not yet. I'm going on that last. I appreciate you guys watching the channel. This is going on the video, so anything else you want to say? No, that's it. That's it. What was it? I hate Cedric. Cedric's my dog, by the way, in case you're wondering. I was going to bring him with me, but he hates water, so this place would have been his nightmare. The wave is coming! It's coming! Oh, no. That was quite the wave pool. Felt like we were in the ocean. Moving on, we still haven't tried the most insane rides yet at this park, and as we kept exploring, we stumbled upon this ride called Canary, which had a huge-looking exit tunnel. Let's check it out. What? I don't know what that says, though. Nivelle de Difficultad Level... Oh, oh. It says Level of Difficulty Red. It says Extreme Difficulty, however, some of the people coming off this ride didn't look like it was that crazy, so I was a little confused and decided to ask someone who was recently on it. Did you just go on the Canary? Was it scary? Oh, it's friendly? Yes, it's friendly and fast. Oh, that guy. Show him, Michael. He said it was scary. It's a red difficulty. Look, it's red, look! It's a jute. Oh, okay. Okay, it's not scary. Thank you. Well, time to see if my guy was telling the truth about the Canary ride. Either way, all I know is, like every other ride in this park, you have to climb a lot of stairs to get to the top. Lean forward. Why? I'm scared. Hold on tight. Hold on tight! Bro, that wasn't that crazy. No, it wasn't that bad. So far, the guy we interviewed was right. That was not bad at all. However, I do think there's a bigger drop coming. Wait, is there another drop? There is another. There's another big drop. No way. This is ridiculous. Wait, Matt. Oh! I just got hit by a branch! Bro! Okay, was it the scariest ride ever? No. Was it still awesome? Absolutely. I mean, look at this screenshot. The British Giant is basically sideways at the top. Also, just for good measure, you get whacked in the head with a branch. So that was fun. However, if you're anything like me and love food, this next segment is arguably more fun. My tummy is rumbling, which means it's food time. I think we do have free food too because of our VIP wristband. Well, it's technically not free. I did spend like 1,000 euros, but you know what I mean. I was blown away with how many food and drink options there were here. And let's just say I didn't hold back. We're about to get our grub on. I'll let you know how it tastes after. The food here was amazing. The best way I can describe it is high-quality fast food. And hey, that might sound like an insult, but honestly, for a water park, that's exactly what I want. What do you think the scariest ride at the park is? By far, our grandchildren say it is that drop one. You know, the really tall tower. The tower of power? I think. Are you guys gonna go on that? Probably not. No way. We're near enough to death as it is. We don't want to speed it up. All these interviews kept adding to my anxiety of trying the tower of power for myself. So I decided to check out the Lazy River in hopes of relaxing a little bit. But little did I know, the Lazy River has a thrill ride of its own that gets you nice and close to the tower of power. Let's see what the Lazy River looks like at the best water park in the world. It's very beautiful. Very beautiful and relaxing indeed. So much so that I almost fell asleep. However, what happens next certainly woke me up. All right, we're headed to an actual ride on the Lazy River. I'm genuinely not sure where this is taking us. This conveyor belt takes you up to higher elevation and folks remember what goes up must come down. Oh. Wait, what? Whoa! I was maniacally nervous and excited because I did not realize the end of the tower of power is a clear tube that goes through this water. And there are literally sharks and stingrays in this water. Unfortunately, I did not see a shark in time before we left this area, but they're in there somewhere. Unless of course they escaped. I am thoroughly sorry if that jump scare caused you any harm. To make it up to you, let me show you the best dessert at this park. Bro, what the heck? Ice cream taco. This is the best dessert I've had in a really long time. My friends also got some ice cream. And speaking of friends, I think it's time to show them who's boss in this racing slide. I'm gonna face Michael first and then Dan. Michael, you think you're gonna beat me? No, you're good. This guy's going down. Who do you guys think's gonna win? Me or Michael? If you're not guessing me, what kind of subscriber are you? Michael won. Now I'm taking on the Brit. You think you're gonna beat me? I can't go 0-2. Although I still think I won the last match. This is America versus the UK right here. Who won? Me or him? The fun and games are officially over. We have one more ride to go on at this park. The time has come. I hear screams. And that is because we are close to the Tower of Power. The ride of all rides. Literally every interview at this park, people said that this was the scariest ride. My biggest concern is I'm rather top heavy. So my biggest concern is as I'm sliding off, I just like go forward and tumble down. But I'll really just try to lean back, I guess. I don't know. I think they thought through the physics of this pretty good. At least I would hope. And because I was scared, I wanted one more look at the ride and decided to interview someone who just came off it. I'm about to go on the Tower of Power. However, you just did it, right? Yes, that's right. How was it? It was good. It was very quick, but it was fun. I would do it again. Sir, did you do it? No. Why not? Too high for me. Too scary. No more stalling, folks. It's time to man up. Even though in that relationship, it seemed like the wife was the only one who was brave enough to go. But you know what I mean. Bro, you can hit your head in the tunnel. Have you been on this ride before? See me? You're not scared at all? Where are you from? Scotland. Scotland? From America. I'm getting out of here. I'm next. Let's go! My stomach is in my head. That was absolutely insane. If you're staying on YouTube, check out the video being shown to you on screen right now. I'm sure you'll love it. And please subscribe if you haven't already. I really appreciate you guys watching. Until next time, Lord Willen, grace, love, peace, and mercy.
