I class that as one of many reasons both physical and psychological, one might not be able to handle the drops.Zazu wrote:I wish there were a chicken experience for those of us whose ears can't go up and down that far, that fast, without giving us a migraine for the rest of the day.
YES! My husband is the same way. He keeps hoping they will run one elevator slow so he can ride it too. He has done the dropping one once and it messed up his stomach for the rest of the day. He is fine for just about every other high thrill attraction in WDW (EE gets him sometimes too), but can't do TOT.TechieSidhe wrote:That would be awesome. I'd love to ride ToT, but I'm afraid for my back and blood pressure. If they could do one elevator that just went up, opened, and came down without the drop, I'd love that. I'd even be amenable to waiting a little bit for that elevator to be available, so they could run it normally most of the time. They could do like they do at Mission Space, a red card, and a green card, and every half hour or so, run an elevator in no drop mode.
You WILL set in the doom buggy, you WILL put your hands on the bar, you WILL look stright ahead at all the wonderful things, you WILL hold your comments and fun till then end and are off the ride. You will NOT react to all the spooooky goings on at HM!!WaltsFavRob wrote:Last week at Haunted Mansion a Dad was trying to scare his son,they were in a buggy between me and my son and my wife.He was making OOOoooo sounds up to the library.I said "Please...you're ruining it for everyone" :( . My wife said "SHUT UP" :mad: . He was quiet the rest of the ride. :D: You don't mess with my Evil Queen.

Non Disney but still relevant. SWMBO and I were at a showing of The Return of the King. A middle-aged couple two rows behind us was talking loudly from the start of the film. Finally, I'd had enough, got up, walked back, sat next to them and said in a very loud voice:KingsIslander wrote:Okay, so we were at Spaceship Earth. First time on since it was changed in 2007 (I miss the old descent...), so I kind of wanted to hear the narration. This couple behind us in line talked loudly the entire time in line, but I assumed this would stop once they were on the ride. It did not. The entire time going up the first tunnel: talk, talk, talk- loudly enough that I couldn't hear the narration at all. It was quite dark, and I had enough. I just went, "SHHHH!". The talking stopped... briefly. Literally, they talked the rest of the ride.
Finally, in the unload area, they ended up in front of us. "Hey, Mom, don't you think it's SO RUDE when people TALK DURING THE ENTIRE RIDE when some people might want to actually LISTEN to what the ride is saying?" If looks could kill, I'd be dead right now... but it was worth it.
(Bonus stupidity: in the big queue room at The Great Movie Ride, someone turned to my dad and asked him "Is this the ride?". I wanted to die laughing.)
I can imagine the guest complaints when that special CM forgets to flip the switch. :whistlng:TechieSidhe wrote:That would be awesome.

I believe that there's a Florida resident Epcot After 4pm Annual Pass. It seems like it's mostly meant for people who are going to dine in the restaurants, since Epcot has perhaps the biggest variety of restaurants on property.Nobleman wrote: Then again, I've wondered why WDW hasn't had a 40% off after "4pm" or "6pm" pass.
There is an Epcot "After 4" pass available and like goofyjoe said it is aimed at people wanting to dine (at least I'm pretty sure it is). IIRC the water parks have something similar as well.Nobleman wrote:Then again, I've wondered why WDW hasn't had a 40% off after "4pm" or "6pm" pass.
