Besides Rise it's probably easier now even with the shorter hours. Especially if you go on a weekday. Just looking right now most rides at MK are under 30 minutes (Space Mountain is only 10).

What the people in the past who accomplished the "ride every ride" challenge didn't tell you is that they were exploiting the disability pass. Up until a few years ago, you could make up some story at Guest Relations and get a pass that was basically an unlimited Fastpass. This became such common knowledge and so widely abused that it reached a point where 1/5th to 1/4th of all riders on any ride entered using one of the disability passes. Disney had enough, rightfully, and changed the pass so that if the line is more than 15 minutes, you are assigned a later time to return based on the current wait time, Since it's no longer a "golden Fastpass", abuse of it dropped significantly.

My friend and I did the all open ride challenge at Disneyland in the late 90s. The ride count was pretty similar and it was pre fastpass but there were also slow days back then, which isn’t a thing anymore

I didn't use it at DLR and I actually have good reason to grab a disability pass. I just wanted to be nuts and see if I could manage it (we did, we were so tired). It was really nice to have last time I went though. Dren posted:Aren’t some attractions straight up closed though? Dunno if they would be on the list. It's whatever is open but you try to do it at a time where nothing is shuttered.

The challenge that popularized and tracked attempts to complete every ride wasn’t created until 2013, which is the same year that Disney changed their disability policy to be time based instead of instant front of the line access. So there may be some who took advantage years ago, but it would be rare in the last 8 years and never part of the Parkeology challenge.

Oh wow.... I didn't realize it's been that long. I still think of it as only a few years ago, probably because they were such a mess to deal with while working there.

Alpenglow posted:The only "in one day" thing I remember among millions of guest interactions was a family that showed up at Peter Pan's Flight for their assigned Fastpass time... at Disneyland. The original 1-row meager capacity operational nightmare at Disneyland does not have a Fastpass*. My cousin did the WDW college program in the early 90s. At some point he got CM (not sure if they were comp tickets or he bought them) park tickets for WDW that, like all tickets at the time, didn't expire. He never used them at the time. Queue over a decade later he is in California and has one of these old tickets. He wants to go to Disneyland and decides to see if they will let him use the ticket instead of buying a new one. He said it took a bit of discussion but eventually the admissions supervisor decided to let him into the park on this 10 year old ticket for the wrong resort.

, ugh. This was in the days when the park was half full of APs pulling passes for 9am return and getting to use them at their convenience (read: hundreds of latecomers overwhelming what should've been a small trickle of FPs after parades) because of spineless policy.

The “all rides in a day” video I remember watching (2 middle age guys) included videos in line and they definitely weren’t using a disability skip. I think it took them two attempts to complete it because of weather closures. I always find it interesting how park hopping back and forth is more efficient even with the travel time. The fast pass strategy is also interesting. Anyone that abuses disability access for any reason is super scummy though.

There's a lot of little roads, is what I'm saying. I dunno how they'd stop those folks? We constantly have Floridian folks up for the livestock auctions and whatnot. I mean my gods I'm sure as hell not going to disagree about harsher covid stuff when I want to shut down everything I'm just interested in how the heck they'd do logistics.

It may not stop 100% of travel, but it will dramatically reduce it. I'd imagine something crazy like 95% or more of travel would be stopped if they set up checkpoints on the interstates and airports.

Yeah, all the White House really has to do is order the FAA to ground all passenger flights and order the National Guard to shut down I-95 to passenger vehicles. There'll be a mask mandate within 48 hours.

But not really this. The National Guard answers to the governor of the state assigned that guard unit. That's why states have volunteered to move their guard resources to DC. Quarantining a state from the rest of the nation would be an idea that would be tied up in the courts so long that everyone would get the vaccine by the time we ran out of cases to fight over it.

Actually Florida started it by requiring a quarantine period for travelers from NY. Then NY did the same when Florida became the new hotspot. Neither were enforced at all. Hawaii is the only US state that was seriously enforcing a quarantine period.

I'm glad you asked! My top choices for being the most interesting and well-researched are: Midway to Main Street - formerly Rob Plays, he takes seriously in depth looks at long time Disney park questions, rumors, or questions no one ever thought to ask before. Yesterworld Entertainment - Similar to Defunctland, but I prefer it for various reasons and it's much more focused on just theme parks. Expedition Theme Park - My third pick. He's good, but his videos feel more like Wikipedia articles than the in-depth analysis videos the first two do. Martin's Videos - Obsessively in-depth look at theme park attractions, great if you're an ultra theme park nerd, but might be boring to most. He has a massive archive of rare and historic footage, images, and audio that most other channels could never compare to. Honorable mentions: Offhand Disney - Yet another theme park in-depth channel. He's okay, but amateur-ish, and a decent amount of his information is wrong or stems from online rumors. Theme Park Crazy - A dude does in-depth analysis of -just- roller coasters. His nasally voice is a hurdle for some. The Queue Line Lectures - Getting philosophical over theme park design; discussing it as an art medium. Might be pretentious for some. Doesn't update very often. Bad, but I still subscribe anyway: Theme Park History - Straight up Wikipedia entries about theme park topics and a somewhat grating narrating style, but occasionally he'll pull out some cool footage. This might seem excessive, but none of them upload very frequently so it's not like my subscription feed is dominated by this stuff.

I get recommended "Abandoned" a lot and it's decent, the production quality is really high, although I guess they only talk about Disney like half the time. SweetMercifulCrap! posted:
