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!

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

If you had someone coming to bring you food and drinks when you needed it...and you had a container to store unneeded fluids

you could probably go a whole day without getting off.

That was the biggest problem that came to mind ~ I couldn't possibly go that long without a pit stop!!

And, of course, you'd miss the staircase room if you never got off.

I thought the staircase was when you were still walking to the doom buggies...?

It's approximately an 8.5 minute ride, with another half a minute to get from load to unload. So in an hour, a buggy makes about 6 2/3 trips around the Mansion if there are no stops.

Nope, it's the fourth show scene of the ridden portion, following the portrait chamber, the library and the music room.
The only walking portions in Orlando (once inside) are the foyer, the stretch room, and the load hallway (which is actually two show scenes, but one room).

The only downside to riding in the Doombuggies all day is that you would only get the stretching room one time.

That would be okay to me; the last 2 times I was in the stretching room people were talking so loudly you coudn't hear the narration. It ruins the experience.

Late night is the best time to visit the Mansion for many reasons.

I agree with mindflipper, people end up talking through most of it, or screaming and trying to scare their friends. But I also agree with BIG, I would love to include the stretching room in the HM marathon!
Question for you MansionButler, did you know anyone that worked out in the DL when those people won the night's stay inside the HM?

Yes, actually. I have a friend who I worked with for years in New Mexico, and we had kind of lost touch. Then in 2006, when I was coincidentally working at the Mansion in Orlando, I browsed his MySpace (lolmyspace) and saw he was working at the Mansion in California! So we ended up swapping a lot of stories about our opposing coasts. It was such a bizarre coincidence.
But, I have never talked to him about the overnight thing.

That is cool! If you think about it, you might ask him if he was lucky enough to be involved in that night!!

Y'know how they have the Steam Train Tour. I would love a post-close HM Tour.

That would be a very popular tour I'm sure!
