WHAT: "Reviews" of rides and attractions at theme parks the world over.
HOW MANY SUBSCRIBERS AT TIME OF WRITING: 740,414.
WHY SHOULD I CARE: One of my first experiences with a computer was watching a first-person POV video of a rollercoaster on my brother's Dell, which was in his room. I wasn't really allowed to go in his room, like all younger siblings, though always desperately wanted to, and being let in once was like being invited to the coronation of Jesus Christ. It was odd – I'd never seen a video quite like it, something that sort of, ever so slightly simulated the feeling of being on a rollercoaster, an experience I'd only had once or twice due to height restrictions. Anyway, Theme Park Review brings all those heady memories back, but with added videos of waterslides and Frozen parades at Disneyland.Theme Park Review (which always annoys me, because it should really be "Theme Park Reviews"; Theme Park Review makes it sound like a quarterly magazine) is a collection of videos of people riding rides. You can search for basically any coaster in the world and chances are TPR has uploaded a video of it. Japan, USA, Germany, the UK, they've all been documented. They even upload CGI previews of rides that won't be completed for years, in places you've never heard of. They also claim to have ridden over 1,000 rides in the six years since they started, which isn't too hard to believe, given the sheer amount of stuff on their channel.
