Amusement parks are, by and large, a subjective experience. Some
people like rides that twist you upside down, while
others prefer a more tame day of swings and arcade
games.
But what if it wasn't up to you?
Downtown Vancouver's Playland is currently running a
campaign called the Hot Seat, where people on the
Internet choose every move that the park's attendees in
the "Hot Seat" make.
Gulp.
Launched on Thursday and running until Friday, the Hot
Seat will see a total of six contestants take their turn
being told what rides to ride and what food to eat
(people won a seat by sharing a photo of their best
scream face with the hashtag #PlaylandHotSeat).
Viewers control each contestant's moves by clicking
options on the Hot Seat website, as well as assigning
additional tasks — such as trying to eat a large amount
of cotton candy in one minute — on Facebook and
Twitter. Oh, and they have to do it all while wearing a
GoPro. The whole thing is live streamed online and
hosted by comedian Ryan Biel.
These contestants are very brave…and very trusting.
Would you take a turn in the Hot Seat?
