Ace Fest was boring

- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- I drove an hour outside of Los Angeles to Lancaster, California for the ACE Family official event, Ace Fest. Advertised as "Coachella meets Disneyland", it was speculated to be a scam from the moment it was announced. They promised too much too soon, and the overall "fest" was pretty underwhelming. I spent my whole day there, let's talk about it.
All of the clips I took will be in a compilation on my Patreon page.

the fact that you were afraid to bring any children to this event *for children* sums it up nicely
And that you couldn’t bring your own food or drinks. Like most parents always have little snacks for their kids, and with how hot it is, you can’t morally forbid people bringing their own water!
@@DeathnoteBB ik when I heard they couldn’t bring food and drinks honestly concerned me especially in the hot sun they better have food and drinks to sustain those kids who literally run around and exhaust themselves
@@DeathnoteBB Truuuueeeee
Exactly like people have dietary restrictions not everyone can just order food from a food truck and your not gonna let them bring their own food that's horrible
@@DeathnoteBB no seriously. you would have more fun at your county or state fair
You riding the rides COMPLETELY ALONE, like JUST YOU on the entire ride, with an expression like “🙂” is the best thing I’ve seen all week.
Dont forget the horse she named, it looks like the horse have suffered tons of things and is begging to be let free from its misery
@@jeanneann3545 it's begging for death, but death never comes!
My dream right there, hate the long lines and overcrowded rides
😂
🙂
The fact that a "good" ace family event is where they meet the absolute bare minimum of technically having things to do, people were able to get into the event, and nobody went to the ER, and they were there for most of the event, is APPALLING. Tanacon really left the bar at the floor
You kidding? The bar was under the ground
It's amazing she still has a platform after all the shit she's done.
@@manifestationsofasort its so low the Mariana trench is jealous
The problem was all of the promises they made and how much they charged. If they would’ve just marketed it as a carnival and meet and greet they probably wouldn’t have gotten as much “hate” for it.
Influencers should say thank you to Tana for doing that lol
Seems like everyone basically just overpaid for a glorified parking lot carnival.
Right? It's like a shitty county fair, for several times the price of a county fair.
It still makes me laugh that Austin compared it to Disney Land. 😄
@@mozmotheferret7913 hell for $380 you could visit the actual disneyland by yourself for 5 straight days
i hate the ACE family but to be fair you didn’t have to pay for rides. Maybe they’re way cheaper in the US but in Australia at a carnival you’re looking at $8-$15 per ride.
@@empod it's definitely cheaper in the US for that caliber of fair.
It feels dystopian. I'm sure a lot of people that attended experienced a moment of realization, like "why tf am I idolizing a random z-list celeb family"
I hope so!
It looks like a county fair and that costs maybe $50 between tickets and food. This was pretty ridiculous
Since I’m familiar with this fair grounds, the big fair that happens annually does cost on average $50 and it takes place the ENTIRE fair grounds, not just that small corner.
Yeah. That's what I thought. "Oh, it's like the Barnstable County Fair back when I was a kid on the Cape..."
But, way less cool and wayyyy less integrity.
yeah like HOW would any family even if they are fans be cool with such a lackluster event. $499 is like a VIP day a much better park.
The community fair doesn't even cost $50.
My county fair is maybe a $3 charge to get through the gate, ride bands are $25, and the rest of that allocated $50 can go to shitty games and greasy food :D
For a California resident, you can buy an individual 3 day Disneyland (Monday-Thursday) park ticket for 249 USD, which is like 89 dollars a day. You can also bring in your own food and drink. I’m sorry but that’s a complete ripoff especially if you didn’t even meet them
Really??! That's a pretty good deal!
@@JNB520 nah she means the acefest ticket was a ripoff
For an Ace fest VIP ticket, it’s around 99.80 USD each for 5 people so it really is a rip off for an event that I assume is probably a one day thing for a generic country fair with a meet and greet.
If I HAD to go to this event (cause no way I’d willingly go) I would pay extra NOT to meet them. So I think she actually saved some value there lol
The only con is having to go into California. Yuck
The little speech Austin gave to that crowd at a supposedly “all-ages” event was absolutely horrible; completely bypassing the parents by having the crowd of mostly small children shout “F gibb” should show to every parent there how irresponsible this family really is
It shows where their Priorities are it was about making the detractors look like fools by saying the line about to the haters the event went on and not about what fans they still have
it was so cringey his speech when he said this, like there were fans in that crowd who paid hundreds and didn't even get the meet and greet they were promised. totally a scam
@@malpal777 it definitely made me cringe. He knows not to say it but just can’t help himself. Hopefully some parents wised up and won’t let their kids watch that trash anymore
This dude is the same age as me and he’s acting like a straight up teenager by doing all this. The fact you had to tell your kid fanbase to say “eff you” to the haters clearly goes to show you have a lot of issues that need to be resolved by a therapist lol
did they really need that much security to protect them from a crowd of children? felt very aggressive
There was something very "black mirror" to me seeing an event to idolize a family. Crazy times
That would be a pretty interesting episode.
Wtf do you think the Queen’s stupid jubilee is?
@@asmrtpop2676 The Queen and friends have an extended 1.000 year history of chicanery behind them. It's bizarre watching it happen with a group of people I don't even know. I thought Ace Fest meant something else (as in, an Asexual fest ^_^' lol)
@@asmrtpop2676 royal dynasty that governed one of the biggest world powers vs tweedle dee and tweedle dumb exploiting their kids for money
This is the comment.
I'm looking at a Disney trip in October and 499 would get me into all four parks over the span of a week. That is some wild prices for what is basically a county fair in the desert.
right?? when you put it in that perspective it’s absolutely ridiculous pricing
oh god, do you think there’s a family out there that cancelled their disney trip in order to go to this? that’s so sad.
I don't know why I always pictured a Disney trip being a few thousand. I guess I can stop saving and just go?
@@AndromedaD it definitely isn't 499....unless they're not counting the hotel and trip prices.
@@angietoonz6605 Yeah they said 499 would get them into the parks for a week, not that it would pay for an entire trip. Depending on the time of year it's like $110 for a park ticket for an adult, and for a 4-day pass it's like $90 per day.
@@AndromedaD they meant just the park entry fees
It was about $100 for each park per day basically.
If you’re interested:
When I went like 2 or 3 years ago the whole trip cost about $6,000
My hotel and flight was around $1600 for a week (it wasn’t a Disney World hotel but it was one of the way nicer hotels)
I spent about $1,000 eating out and buying food (but this included a lot of pricey dinners)
The rest of the money was for the park admission (about $500 for 6 days of park entry)
and then the remained was me buying souvenirs or additional things I paid for when I was there like outlet shopping at Disney springs
I’m confused why they didn’t assign meet and great time slots especially with children being present. No kid wants to wait in line for 5 hours when there are rides outside. But then again it’s the Ace family…. I guess I don’t need to be confused.
you expect Austin to actually use logic? you must be new
Hi Swell, I was the girl who worked parking and told you to go through. So sorry I yelled “Swell!” and made it an awkward interaction haha. Love what you do and keep up the good work!!
Nice!
Did you guys keep charging people for parking all day?
@@nerdythespian1212 most of the people coming at that time were vendors for another event so they weren’t charged. Attendees for Ace Fest and the other event were charged. Swell got a pass because I enjoy her content
Haha that’s not awkward at all! It was super kind of you to give her a pass. If I were in her shoes, having that positive interaction on the way into an unfamiliar event by myself would have def helped put me at ease.

this shit was literally at the fairgrounds in my city 😭😭 there is no difference between this and the normal county fair we have every year, same rides, same food stands, everything. i wouldnt be surprised if it was even missing stuff that the normal county fair usually has
Well yeah, county fairs usually have animals and local competitions and stuff. This looked like it was JUST rides and some snacks.
I’m honestly impressed I had no idea this happened. I live a 5min drive away from the fairgrounds. I can’t stand them tho.
Same. I live near there too. So sad
Same!! My medium sized town brings this in literally every year, except all the local organizations are there to run used book sales and scavenger hunts and stuff so there's more to do, and all for a tiny fraction of the price
This definitely looks worse than my state fair here in wisconsin… and state fair is quite affordable comparatively lol
The bar was so low lol. "They said they were going to hold an event and they held an event." "No one died." "Everything was on time."
Thanks for doing this! Your commentary is always great.
You forgot about the part where they weren't shut down by the fire marshal. That's saying something!
tanacon put the bar in hell
@@analupelosi3319 , Lmfao 😭
The fact none of the winners were there and they claim to “email them” shows another one of their scam patterns and I don’t trust them for a second
My feeling is, if you're gonna sell tickets at premium prices, then the only unique attraction CANNOT simply be a meet and greet with you. To have everything they went through with the pricing, and the claims of selling out, or selling thousands of tickets... and then draw such small crowds is ridiculous. I know most people were in line for huge chunks of the day, but I really can't at any point say I believe there were more than 1000 people there attending the event at any point. I really don't see how they made any money from this.
They should've at least had a booth where you could get pictures and they would do it for an hour or so, then had the meet and greet later on.
As far as I understand they piggybacked another event and shared this day. This way they could have saved a lot of money
If their past events are anything to go by, the McBrooms will make sure _they_ get money out of it... even if they have to leave everyone else out-of-pocket to do so. I genuinely hope they don't screw over the small vendors this time.
They were also sharing the lot with an art festival I believe. It's pretty embarassing.
If everyone there paid $100.. the least they would have made would be around $100k. Now imagine if most paid for VIP (seems to be the standard for most big families).. then they would have made half a million ($500k).
Definitely was a reason they did it this way.
$500 for what looks like my local county fair for $15 is crazy
Honestly, you are an icon. i could never go to an event alone and be as calm and productive as you.
Im suprised at how many rides she got on cause honestly, I could never on my own
And she stayed there the whole time??? I would've been ready to dip out after an hour
Yeah well for me it's like I love roller-coasters the issue I have is I don't know many people who like them so for me my choices are go alone or don't ride them and it's like i guess I love them so much it's worth going alone.
@@jessicag821 well, it is kind of her whole UA-cam theme to review event like this. If she posted this video but only stayed for an hour no one would really watch it
@@jessicag821 on MY MAMA!!!
Thank you for taking one for the team. It is appreciated. Truly.
$400???
Social media events feel like mini Fyre Festivals to me.
At least Fyre Fest was in a beautiful tropical locale and not a hot parking lot?
Wow, they so clearly live in a different reality. Having your child fans chant “f chubs” in front of their parents, who pay for their merch and give them money, along with saying that people thought this was a scam, who in their right mind would think that’s a good idea? Also for the 7 hours of meet and greet, were their children forced to work that entire time? This is so fucked up
as someone who got hurt on a carnival ride once because it didn't follow safety guidelines, i do not trust the ace family to choose who they get rides from 😅
Was it a serious injury? And do you still ride rides today?
@@brib6046 it wasn't too bad the scare was the worst part but i had to get a few stitches over my eyebrow 😅 i went on that ride cause i've always been scared of heights and was trying to fight that fear but it did the exact opposite haha you'll not catch me doing rides again i think
@@joanacastanheira thank you for responding! I don’t blame you for not getting on rides after that, it almost justified your fear!
vouch for this, a good friend of mine almost fell off a super high ride once because _the entire harness broke_
@@goingsillymode terrifying omg
The fact that people are willing to pay that much money just to meet an internet celebrity family boggles my mind. They aren't a band. They aren't in movies. They are youtubers.
I was there I met the ace family
Shitty UA-camrs at that
Fair play to you to last the ENTIRE day. I wouldn’t have lasted 3 hours
I would have been over it after an hour
I honestly would be hesitant to buy a ticket with my own money
@@XxdextriousxX I would buy the $15 soul fest ticket just to walk around 😂 I heard they weren’t checking unless you were riding rides or doing the meet and greet.
For $550..
I thought that too. How did she do it? Has Amanda just gotten used to being alone at a weird fests? I could never!
That raffle at the end of the night to win prizes reminds me of when they held a raffle for their basketball charity event. The same exact thing happened, they called out a bunch of names and no one responded to claim their prizes… Very strange. I feel like it’s a lie or rigged
Oh, so it's just a grossly overpriced county fair that comes with only one meet-and-greet with the McBrooms. Just a question, what do you get out of waiting three hours to meet someone like Austin McBroom as opposed to someone in a character costume? I mean, one is a Muppet, the other spends hours sweating in a costume.
Don't insult the Muppets like that
That is rude to the muppets at least the muppets are entertaining
come on the muppets are entertaining
u take that back RIGHT NOW i was about to agree with u until u had to go and diss muppets like that
@@marceabrann2166 The Muppets also teach good values to children and don't exploit and sexualize 4 year olds.
They should have had a time sign up for the meet and greet when you purchased your ticket. Like only so many people could buy a ticket for a certain time so that people show up at their time and there isn’t a super long line
I'm glad there was no animals out in that heat . A blessing in disguise.
I'm sure there are rules. CA is very animal rights oriented. And yes, thank God no animals! 💗🐆
I know!!!!
I was so surprised when you said that was the end of ace fest, for 500$ i’d expect 2-3 days of stuff
Girl 1) this is some commitment you stayed there all day 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 2) your make up looked great 3) was he really trying to get kids to curse dude so cringe! 🤢 4) can’t believe you choose to do this for a living like good on you for the hard work and sacrifice. Bringing the truth to the people.
They probably also opened with package deals to inflate attendance numbers. Those numbers are important for attracting/retaining investors and vendors as well as future show prospects. "We ran an event with 5k attendees" sounds more impressive than "We sold 2k packages/tickets"
Just recently stumbled across your channel after the Smosh crossover. Hilarious that you went to Ace fest. We live in the area that it was held and had no idea what it was about. We got free tickets to go then promptly left after two rides. On the way out we finally learned what the whole Ace fest was about
Austin McBroom is a perfect example of what a narcissistic person who will ruin his own downfall in the future and no one will give a crap about when you have to tell your entire fanbase at your own festival to say “eff you” to the haters. People like that never win. It just spurs more hatred in the end, kinda like someone who we all might know that was running our country. Look how that ended lol
Well Amanda just gave them $500 so they’re not going anywhere
Please don’t call them fans, they’re subscribers, they’re NOT celebrities
Lmao, this looks exactly like the shitty traveling carnival that is set up in our mall's parking lot twice a year. And paying 500 dollars for 5 people is still a ridiculous price no matter how you swing it.
I don't know why the speech about haters & getting everyone to say 'f you haters!' gives me cult vibes... I think it's because it gives me the same vibes as MLMs vibes when they talk about the 'negative energy' and 'haters' too
they rlly charged $500 for a county carnival ☠️
I'm surprised to see someone give a very honest review and not just hate from the top. That said, I'm an Ace family hater. But I wanted the truth of it and you're one of the only ones to give it so far. 👍🏼❤️
Not allowing people in unless someone already inside the festival vouched for them instead of checking their tickets is wholly unacceptable not just because of the prices people were paying. That's a huge security breach, and could have potentially led to a loss in ticket sells if enough people found out about it and started exploiting it by vouching for their friends to get in free.
Love watching your reports on these sorts of events. I guess they missed the Coachella part of 'Coachella meets Disney'...oh and they missed the Disney part, too...but glad you didn't die there LOL
No no they included that. They brought the hot ass weather for Coachella and the high ass prices for Disneyland 🤪
They couldn't even scrape up Aaron Carter who lives there, to perform?
So it's just the "meets" part?
@@SaltyShale and not even everyone who wanted to got the "meets" part 😂
austin's speech reminds me of a kid that got his feelings hurt and thinks saying 'f you' is the greatest comeback
I rarely care or watch content surrounding youtubers's events (like tea spill made a video about ACE Fest and I was like meh), but THE SECOND you upload something like this I just have to watch it, your reviews are always SO GOOD
Because Amanda comes with first hand receipts!
Also because Swell doesn't pretend that she's trying to keep anyone accountable, versus someone like Tea Spill and other gossip channels.
literally! When I saw her tiktoks filmed there I was so excited knowing this video was coming
@@gilded_lady now that you mention it, yeah, it’s probably cause I’m just so tired of the constant drama (even if it’s true)
You always look so refreshed, and in that heat too 😭 Heat wave over here and we’re melty wellies
Always with a joyous smile, so inspiring! Idk how you do it 😭 Glad also you’re keeping facts clear
I been to better fairs in parking lots that were way cheaper. Thanks Amanda for spending your money dollars.
"Money Dollars" made me chuckle. I'm steeling that phrase!
I'm surprised they gave you the other wristbands. You could have easily turned around and sold them? Espeically if t hey were trying to make it seem like it was sold out.
It was also attended by local residents and they were able to pay $15 to get in the door.
I grew up in that area and would go to the Antelope Valley fair as a kid… That’s a waaaaaaay smaller event then the fairs in that area normally have 😬
I appreciate you being more honest in your reporting rather than just saying that it's just UA-camrs here and a couple of kids who dragged their parents there.
Sure it's funny when people say it like that but it does get to a point where people are just being a bit too silly and taking the piss too much.
This reminds me of an event a local church would put on every other week in summer. Couple of rides and food trucks in a parking lot and call it a day. It's honestly not that hard to put on, so I don't know if they deserve much kudos for being able to do it. Really the ride techs are the heroes of these kinds of events because I'm sure they're the ones organizing around each other saying "I need x amount of space and put me over here" etc.
You can get a wrist band at those carnivals for 30 bucks for all the rides
They couldn’t call it Ace Con because it would be a little too mask-off :/
Edit: lmfao he really just announced the real reason for their carnival. This wasn’t for the fans, this was for the people who said they wouldn’t do it. How cynical 😐
This is literally the morbius meme lol
"There was an event"
"People were there"
"It was an experience"
I had no idea what this was and you just kept Tweeting about "Ace Fest" and I thought it was some late Pride thing. Oh, if only it was.
I think it's safe to assume that the entire LGBTQIA+ community wants nothing to do with them. I know I don't!
as an Ace, oh, if only
This just looks like all my local county fairs that cost $25 for entry this is that just up-priced because of the ace familys name and “brand” smh
Because it is. That’s my town, all the rides there were left up from a festival we had 2 months ago lol
@@megiddo7664 assumed pretty much, cheap on the ace familys party but what do u expect from them they str8 up scammers.
I've been waiting to see how lame this was. Thanks for the reverse FOMO, the video of you on a ride alone in twitter made me cough up a lung laughing.
Reverse FOMO, I like it!
For that ticket price, you could’ve went to Disney or Universal 💀
My local fair, it costs $20 for unlimited rides and they had more rides, live entertainment for free, free parking, and local shops selling stuff.
This is pretty much what I expected. They over-hyped the event and overcharged ticket prices, but they did put some planning into this. It was good to see that they had a free water stand and some seating that was in the shade. They obviously can't control the weather or heat, but it appears that they tried to accommodate for that. That being said, I was pissed to see that Rich Lux and the Catster guy didn't make it in, despite paying for the over priced tickets and they were really rude to them. They also should have met every single person who paid for a meet and greet. If I was getting $100+ for every ticket, I would stand there and meet every damn person in that line and stay late if needed.
They were giving out prizes... and didn't even prepare a stage area? Damn. Who did the planning for this event?
As someone who has lived in the AV and worked the fairgrounds a couple of times, This looks exactly like the AV fair which you can get into for a $15 ticket and that also covered multiple live music stages and a petting zoo.
It is the AV fairgrounds 😂😂 she showed a sign, I live in AV and I recognized it immediately
I love your dry sarcasm 😂 I also love when REAL people get in front of the camera, it's refreshing. I subbed, liked and commented for the algorithm. Best of luck on your YT journey!
Hey Swell? I'm sorry if this is rude, but can you tell more stories about life as a vendor kid? I'm fascinated by it all whenever you tall about it.
Ill say this isnt rude at all but i genuinely wanna hear about it too
What is vendor kid?
@@prachiarora6245 at the end she talked about how her dad was a vendor at a carnival growing up
How would this in any way be taken as rude?
@@kitten-whisperer some people see everything as rude these days, so I somewhere understand the comment
TanaCon lowered the bar for UA-camr events so much that the facts that the event went the entire duration and wasn't a complete disaster made me genuinely impressed.
For a moment I lived in a world where family youtubers didn't exist and this was for ace folks.
Yikes! I was just at Disneyland and California adventures (one full day each) for 2 adults and paid $510. I thought was expensive but had a great experience since I got to see my childhood favorite characters and I felt like it was as too expensive. Given that, I would not have paid that much to go to the Ace Fest! 😅
Kinda bittersweet ending for the Ace family, i heard they're plan on leaving UA-cam in 2023 to go traveling around the world, but theyre still in a lot of debt and hot water from their lawsuits n stuff. If they really leave, i wonder what will happen to them.
I dont really care about Austin or his wife at all,but i hope the kids turn out okay.
I thought they were getting divorced, what happened to that? And they're planning to travel the world even though they declared bankruptcy or whatever? With what money, exactly, are they planning to travel the world with even though they've complained about being SO POOR that they didn't even have hot water in their house for 2 years?
I will be like 50 years old and I will always love those mega slides. Also I cannot imagine dropping almost 500$ for a meet and greet and not being let in
For a second I thought you meant ACE as in American Coaster Enthusiasts and I was worried lol, I was confused how having an entire theme park to yourself could be a bad event!
The pure amount of narcissism the ace family has to put on a fest all about themselves..🤦♀️
Are you aware of how many influencer festivals there are?
@@MapleLeafAce are you aware of how narcissistic social media has made people?
Wow, I actually live out there and had no idea this was going on, guess no one cared 🤷🏻♀️ Good thinking not bringing those kids with you bc it does get unbelievable hot out here. This event is way worse than our actual fair that we have every year and that definitely does not cost $500 🙄🙄
Same haha I live in Palmdale and never heard of this event
Amanda: What should I name my horse 🥰☺️
The horse: 👹
Smth from horror movie
I’m so glad this popped up on my feed😂loved this!
I love hearing about these ridiculous "cons" that Amanda goes to. The very first video of hers that I watched was Tana-Con!
You are the BEST sport ever, Amanda! 🏆
“Why do you think I went?” - best line of the whole video 🤣
i wasn’t sure considering the price of the event but after watching how much this one was, will you be attending rhett and link’s mythicon? i’m really interested to see what the event is like
I was scrolling looking for a comment mentioning Rhett and link! I feel like the event they're putting on is the exact same thing, so I'm super curious the differences. Fans weren't happy in the community posts about the "con" so I'm really curious the state of it!
@@iluv2cheer176 I wouldn't consider myself a fan of them anymore but I do casually watch their show, I was surprised to see them announcing a con and at pretty extreme prices too. I really hope amanda goes and covers the event it would be perfect for her content and so interesting for us to see.
I cant imagine being a big enough fan of anyone to stand in that meet and greet line
Yesss queen! I was WAITING for this one! Lol Thank you for attending and getting so much information Swell!
I get the impression it may have been busier than it looked because of the amount of people concentrated in one specific area, namely the meet & greet! There were no major disasters and I guess the kids would have enjoyed themselves on the rides and seeing the McBrooms in person, but I bet their parents probably felt a bit short-changed on the whole... & that "eff you" chant, I mean seriously?!
Sterling coverage as always, Amanda.
I haven’t been recommended a video of yours in so long. This made my day
Feels like a church parking lot festival but at least those have like an animal man with a banana snake or a magician.
..Looking at the overall event set up, I just hear Nene Leak's voice echoing in my head "Ooh The Ghetto, The Ghetto..." lol Great video coverage on your part though =)
Your face at 14:23 says it all 😂 gosh that event was such trash. Thanks for reporting on this scam fest and yes it was a scam. You truly stuck it out till the very end.
You riding those rides alone and going, "Weeee!" got a major chuckle out of me
your videos have been so comforting to me lately thank u for the content u make 💗
The way this looks like a shittier version of my state fair, which is like 30 dollars and has sooo much more stuff to do.
I'm so glad you are honest and fair and don't just hate or over exaggerate the circumstances, I'm no fan of that family, primarily their parents, but it's nice to see you take the approach you do to all of your videos. You're just honest in telling your research, experience and you personal thoughts and feelings.
Great video, I like how you were honest and didn't just put down the Ace Fest like other youtubers. I'm sure a lot of people and their kids did have fun. typical fair rides and I loved them when I was a kid.
I can't be the only one who thinks they faked the raffle winners right😅 like how was NO ONE that won still there present idk I get that it was a long event and I'm sure no one wanted to stay longer than they had to but idk it seems a bit sus
Maybe it's like at that event they held a few years ago where the grand prize winner was Austin's friend.
@@FrenkTheJoy I was thinking that too, like maybe they just chose people they knew. Amanda did mention that a lot of the people there were family or personal friends so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch imo
You deserve the add revenue on this especially after paying that much!! I so condone you for putting up the money and time for an event like this. I can't even imagine how cringe it was.
One Video Ago: "I'm just here at Vidcon to enjoy myself. Not here to review."
Amanda Now: "I come to these events for the express purpose of reviewing them."
*Shocked Pikachu Face*
I mean, Vidcon is a legit event, not something put on by a random youtuber who suddenly woke up one morning and decided to put on a "convention"
I think its the difference in events, where vidcon is and established event!
I mean she said she wasn't going to review Vidcon before ppl pressured her. It's just different circumstances
@@despicablepenguin I'm aware, just memeing
The fact that I recognize the company that did the rides a the food vendors by the branding and look of the coasters is hilarious. I feel like it's the same company and vendors that does the neighborhood carnival/festivals over where I live, I pay at most 40-50 bucks for tickets and can go on about every ride but the Ace Fest tickets are $160-500??

I'm sorry that you been through that but I'm glad you went so the rest of us get to know what happens.
The whole vibe I got was you went to a carnival, not a branded event/gathering. They should have spent a lot more money on posters, banners, maybe even wood/cardboard cut outs of themselves to take photos with. I don't even know who the ace family is, but for a branded event I should have walked away from this video at least recognizing their faces. 🤷🏼♀️
This was definitely a scam, but you seemed to make the most of it and that's definitely an energy I need in my own life. Glad I stumbled onto this
If I were to never know about ace fest and I was blindfolded and put smack center of the festival… I would have asked why was at a basic fair in the middle of a desert after having my blindfold off
Those mega slides are fun as hell. But this is just..I have no words. I used to go to the LA County Fair every year, and I would only buy single tickets for rides that I would want to go on because I don't trust fair/carnival rides. I would never pay 400+ dollars to go to this sad excuse of a "festival"
UA-cam randomly recommended you prob cuz I love commentary channels like yours. And I’m happy it did cuz you are awesome and happy to have found your stuff!
This reminds me of my school’s popular sporting week without the rides. And we had a concert. And it cost $0 except for admission to the sport event.
