Checking into a hotel isn't enough for Ryan Trahan. In "I Stayed in Waterpark Hotels", each stop comes with a rule that makes the room almost secondary: "I must sleep there overnight, and I must ride every waterslide."

The new travel challenge drew roughly 240,000 views in just over two hours today. Trahan sets out to visit four American waterpark hotels, moving from budget accommodations toward luxury. For someone whose travel experiments include testing airline seats and one-star hotels, this itinerary gives the amenities a rather more physical inspection.

He starts at Comfort Inn Splash Harbor in Ohio before heading to Holiday Inn Resort Orlando Suites in Florida, where the promise of two waterparks meets an inconvenient thunderstorm. With the outdoor pools temporarily closed, he heads to the arcade and joins children playing hide-and-seek. When the sunshine returns, there's a surfing simulator to try and a closing-time deadline to contend with.

The Texas stop at Great Wolf Lodge brings an indoor waterpark, a ropes course and a Build-A-Bear visit. Trahan names his new plush companion Reginald. Later, the hotel setting prompts memories of traveling to high school track meets, a quieter connection between this elaborate trip and the places he stayed before making travel videos.

The upload includes a sponsored Shopify segment. Elsewhere, the encounters supply their own comic interruptions: viewers are picking out questions about whether he's FaZe Rug and whether his actual occupation is "waterslide influencer."
