Adam Hattan #18 Rollercoaster Tycoon

[alwaysbrowsing]

Seeing people prance around lounges, live it up in Upper Class and waste precious park time with silly private tours is one way of justifying ´quality of content’.

Adam wants to be a man of the people but just in reality he’s living the high life of luxury on other people’s money.

 

[Alltoowell]

And he does get freebies, so he can stop acting like he doesn’t, Universal always seem to be giving him tickets and express passes for his trips to Epic etc, that would cost the average Joe hundreds. He can’t be a man of the people and be saying things like “i don’t think adding an extra 60 dollars a night (x the 3 nights they were there so 180) is that bad” So many people have to compromise somewhere to even get to visit these places, but he isn’t willing to, and sounds completely out of touch, unless its pretending to be on a “value” trip. It’s this incessant need to have to stay onsite, and always upgrade everything thats the most annoying. All because he can’t possibly not have a theme park view, even on the shortest of trips, & that’s before an uber luxurious concierge cruise (that some of us can only dream of doing!) Who does he think he is at all, the audacity to start with the little sly digs or goes off on one like he’s in poverty, come on now Adam put your little faux violin away and stop trying to take the piss or your audience for fools.

For me its not so much the money people spend, its like a previous poster said; its the lack of acknowledgement its out of alot of people's budget.

Even daft things like water and snacks in the airport, I dont know why you simply wouldnt save a fiver and bring them with you?!

 

[GSquaredUWS]

Him talking about the costs is politician level BS and spin!

 

[GSquaredUWS]

Why does he always look like he’s just rolled out of bed in his pyjamas?
And he’s still wearing those minging slip-on Skechers. He looks like he stinks.

I gasped when he walked in. This trip is costing more than some people’s annual salary and he walks in looking like that? Disgraceful that he couldn’t spend £20 at Primark for a fresh outfit and run a comb through his hair.

Time must be running out on his Enterpex AI experiment…

Quoting High School Musical He really never mentally entered adulthood.

Just spent an insane amount on a holiday and now he’s back in his flat trying to find ways to grift more money. Such a depressing way to live. He could have stayed off site at Disney, balcony room on the cruise (or cruise with Princess) and saved himself 10K. Then used that money to have a decent standard of life at home.

Adam I think it’s time to get a real job, no offense. Just seems like the best option at this point in time.

 

[queenamber]

The way I ran here when I saw him quoting High School Musical with full sincerity

 

[Scottishfalpal1]

If he’s struggling that much why is he paying for his pal who is so much older than him on holiday

How can he be struggling that much if he’s got 2235 paid members on Patreon, even if they all was on the 4.50 a month tier, (which some are probably on 14.50 a month which would obvs be even more dosh for him) that would be £120,690 a year, patreon take 10% and then UK taxes of about 44k a year, leaves £64,621 a year / 12 months= 5385 a month, for a single man with no kids, pets or partner to pay anything for, that should absolutely be a comfortable amount to live on?! & that’s without Youtube Adsense or whatever he gets for the views in his videos. The problem is he has swanned around for so long thinking he was Bob Iger, that he’s backed himself into an expensive corner. No wonder he doesn’t know where to go from here as his expensive hobby just isn’t sustainable anymore. Maybe his next step needs to be back in the real world, with the rest of us.

This needs to be the next thread title

Just caught up with the Disneyland travel day and it might be one of the strangest videos he’s put out in a while.

The whole thing felt like someone going through the motions. Very little excitement, very little planning, very little curiosity. This is supposedly a dream trip for a Disney travel creator and yet Gary somehow came across as the more grounded and enthusiastic one, which is quite an achievement.

The usual formula seems to have completely run out of steam. Constant comments about how expensive everything is while simultaneously choosing the premium option at every possible opportunity. Complaints about the flight, complaints about the food, barely any useful information for viewers and then arriving at Disneyland with all the excitement of someone checking into an airport hotel for a work conference.

What I don’t understand is why he keeps forcing these trips when there are so many obvious alternatives. Singapore, Shanghai Disney, Hong Kong Disney, Europa-Park, Efteling, literally anything different. Instead it’s the same cycle of Disney hotel, Disney park, Disney cruise, repeat.

The irony is that viewers never seemed to want bigger suites, more expensive cabins or endless luxury upgrades. The channel was at its best when it felt like he was actually enjoying himself. Now every trip feels like content first and holiday second.

At this point he’s trying to be a travel vlogger, author, CEO, mentor, fashion designer, merch mogul and money-saving expert all at once, yet the one thing that built the audience in the first place seems to be getting less attention. The travel content increasingly feels like an obligation rather than something he actually wants to do.

For people with virtually unlimited flexibility, endless travel opportunities and an audience willing to fund it all through views, it’s remarkable how repetitive and joyless some of these trips have become.

It's so strange how it's radio silence from him in between trips too. He's backed himself into a corner when he needs to be doing constant expensive trips to engage his audience. He could throw them a bone and put up some low effort insta stories once in a while!

I'm genuinely fascinated at what he gets up to in between trips. He never shares anything that isn't a heavily curated luxury trip.

I know there's a million of these same type of videos out there but he could his top 10 list of everything in WDW, DL and Universal and he'd probably get a good amount of views. More than he gets putting out nothing anyway.

Adam's reaction when reading that....

 

[eloise b]

In latest video why on earth was he saying disneyland-land??

Because he is a moron. NO one says that. Also Adam as a self proclaimed Disney expert (I know you read) the ride that replaced people mover at Disneyland was called Rocket Rods not the Hot Rods!! You "write" Disney guidebooks so you are expected to know these things.

You also should have already known it was 1 lightning lane per guest, per hotel reservation not 1 daily! Again not doing your homework.

I don’t know why he did that. He said “we call it Disneyland land” but they have been before and I don’t remember that. Does he think it is funny or cute or different. I don’t know. It was just weird.
