Maybe you were just numb from the cold? Everyone else in the photo is dressed like its cold that day. Mouseoholic has on coat, scarf, and gloves, and Boilerdude looks like he's wearing the only jeans he packed for the trip. And then Mousekedude is in...shorts. Did it get chilly that day?
Actually it was one of the warmer yet still cold days. M-dude also brought mostly shorts and jumped at the chance to be able to wear them that day. As for his hand, he is still in therapy but expected to make a full recovery. At least until our next trip...LOL I did managed to eventually work up to not having to hold his hand. On our last ride of EE I even almost got my hands all the way in the air on the drop. Next time!

I may be going to California for work later this year and will have to squeeze in a few days at DL. Now that I am running with the big boys, maybe, just maybe I can ride California Screamin in DL. Does anyone know how the drop on EE compares to the largest drop on CS?

If not, I will check out the DL threads.

Haunted Mansion is my #1... as of yesterday, 157 rides on it. :D Never seems to get old and I always notice something new I've never caught everytime I ride. Ah, the beauty of all those details...

I wouldn't pass up on California Screamin'. I rode it at night and it was fantastic. Does it still run at night? I didn't know if they changed its hours due to WoC?

Spending one whole day just to ride the HM 157 times - wow, that makes you a bigger HM fan than me! Do they reward you with your own doombuggy?

I don't think she has ridden HM that many times in one day...I don't think that would be possible even if they allowed you to stay on the ride continuously from park open to close...would it?

May have to suggest that for the next MM meet-up as a separate day event...

Yeah, I'm guessing there would be few takers for this :lol: I'm guessing by the end of the experiment we might be so slap-happy and obnoxious that we would get thrown off the ride :shock: :mrgreen:

My guess is the HM is the ride I have rode the most (including all of its variations).

Haunted Mansion, by far. I never rode it until I was 10 (scared), and rode a few times on my two vacations as a kid since that. Then I ended up a Cast Member there and rode it constantly. Not only riding it for work purposes, i.e. training, checking for show quality, and other such things, but riding it constantly because it's awesome and never has a line, and because I have friends there.

Splash is easily No. 2, and probably was No. 1 until a month or so of working at the Mansion. I rode Splash over and over again on vacations, and for a long period of time would ride it almost every day before work (literally, I'd go early, ride it, then put on my costume and clock in). I ride it less frequently than I use to, but it's still up there.

Everest may well be No. 3, but I don't know what the list looks like after Splash. I rode Everest 20 times, including 15 in a row one day, during the Cast Member preview and have done it almost as frequently as other attractions outside of the Mansion since then.

Pirates of the Caribbean (thanks to being my favorite childhood attraction that still exists), the People Mover (another I loved as a kid that still exists and never has a line), Star Tours (massive Star Wars fan, and another favorite from childhood), and the Tower of Terror are likely also in contention with Everest.

Dream Flight is also pretty high on the list for something that closed years before I was in the park every day, too. I made my family go on that constantly as a youth.

If they let you stay on the attraction and there was not a single downtime, you could only push 120 ride throughs on a day where the park opened at 9 and EMH last to the 3 A.M.

And you could never get off.

Dare you to try! :lol:

I wouldn't make it, but I bet mindflipper could do it ;)
Thanks for the info on how many ride cycles there are...that isn't as many as I imagined there could be in an 18 hour day :shock:
