Going to the WORST REVIEWED Amusement Park in my City! **bad idea**

FaZe Rug bet an entire afternoon on a 2-star amusement park nobody else would touch.

On July 27, 2019, Brian Awadis — better known to his 20-plus million subscribers as FaZe Rug — dropped a vlog with a title that doubled as a warning label: “Going to the WORST REVIEWED Amusement Park in my City! **bad idea**.” The premise was simple and borrowed from a trend that had been running through YouTube all year: find the lowest-rated business in town and go find out why. In this case, Awadis zeroed in on a local amusement park sitting at a 2-star rating with more than 100 negative reviews stacked against it.

Rather than take the complaints at face value, Awadis packed up his camera crew and went to test the rides, the food, and the general upkeep for himself. It’s the same formula that’s turned his channel into a factory of “worst-reviewed” and “world’s most dangerous” stunts, and this time the target was a park that customers had already trashed online before he ever bought a ticket.

  • The park Awadis visited held a 2-star rating with over 100 negative reviews at the time of filming.
  • The video followed the “worst-reviewed business” format Awadis has used across multiple vlogs in 2019.
  • Awadis structured the trip around testing three specific complaint categories: ride safety, park conditions, and overall quality.

Negative Rating Captures Executive Attention

A 2-star average with triple-digit negative reviews isn’t a park having a bad month — it’s a pattern. Awadis has leaned into exactly that kind of red flag before, treating a wall of one- and two-star complaints as a dare rather than a deterrent. The bet with these videos is always the same: either the reviewers were exaggerating, or the place really is as rough as the internet says, and either answer makes for good footage.

It’s the same instinct that’s driven some of his other stunt-first uploads, including his trip through the world’s most dangerous escape room, where the hook was likewise a reputation nobody wanted to defend in person.

Underlying Causes of Customer Complaints

The reviews driving the park’s 2-star score clustered around a handful of recurring gripes: rides that felt unsafe or poorly maintained, facilities that visitors described as run-down, and customer service that reportedly did little to address complaints when they came up. Awadis built the video around checking each of those claims directly rather than just reading them off a screen — riding the attractions himself, walking the grounds, and documenting the state of the park as he found it.

Over 100 negative reviews and a 2-star average — and Awadis went anyway.

The Bigger Pattern in His Content

This wasn’t Awadis operating outside his lane. Testing out warned-against experiences and reporting back on whether they live up to the hype — or the horror stories — has become a recurring engine for his channel, in the same family as oversized-stunt videos like World’s Largest Challenge!. The amusement park trip just swapped scale for risk, betting that a place everyone online had already given up on would still make for a worthwhile watch.

The Real-World Case Against Low-Rated Parks

The complaints attached to parks like this one tend to fall into a few consistent buckets, and they’re worth spelling out plainly. Poor customer service shows up when staff can’t or won’t resolve issues on the spot, turning small problems into ruined visits. Ride safety concerns stem from deferred maintenance — inspections and upkeep cost money, and cash-strapped parks cut there first. Low-quality facilities, from dirty restrooms to subpar food, are often the most visible symptom of a park running on a thin budget. And thinner crowds at unpopular parks can mean lighter security, raising the odds of theft for anyone who leaves valuables unattended.

Awadis’s video treated those categories as a checklist rather than a lecture, letting his own reactions on camera stand in for the verdict the reviewers had already delivered.
