Controversial Topics Several months ago, I added a private sub-forum to allow members to discuss these topics without fear of infractions or banning. It's opt-in, opt-out. Corey Click Here
SAFD: Our post-race celebration wasn’t something we originally planned. After our first marathon in 2013, my sister and I were pretty much a wreck. We made it back to our room at POR well enough, but after an afternoon of showering and resting (we were very new to running and had zero knowledge...
No need to apologize. It’s the system runDisney has set up. Until they change it, everyone is forced to adhere to the relatively silly behavior it encourages.
As detailed in my previous post, my extended party had about 20 browsers open in total across multiple states. I have no idea what devices or browsers they were using, but the only link that went live before sellouts was mine on Edge Incognito. It seems like this was truly random and that there...
I’ll have to go through the 25 or more pages of stuff I missed out on while the craziness was happening. Like many I had 6 windows, all more than an hour to start. One of them started the progress bar after about 5 minutes and updated to 31 minutes about 10 minutes after 10. During this time I...
SAFD: No real tips or tricks. Registration is frustrating, partially because of how rD does it but also because it’s simply a lot of people trying to accomplish similar goals at the same time and it’s always going to be a bit of a mess.
Sign in to your rD account, open a few windows (whatever...
It’s all speculation for now as to how quickly this year will sell out. The last couple years have been very fast, but with the race dates moving back to the second weekend in January there is a possibility of lower demand since fewer schools will be out and people might not be as willing/able...
I’ve run at least one race at Marathon Weekend since my first in 2012. There is certainly a difference in the race experience and I think there are diminishing returns for any activity you do more than once. I’ll never have the experience I did finishing my first Half Marathon, first Marathon...
SAFD:
Although it already feels a bit futile considering the early vote count and that so many have previously explained they can’t ride it, my vote goes to Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.
It is pretty interesting that an opening day attraction and one of the newest thrill attractions...
I’m late to the party answering but figured I’d throw in my 2 cents anyway. Huge difference between Hulk and Velocicoaster starts with the seats. Velocicoaster is a lap restraint only whereas Hulk has the shoulder pull down. I have more head issues on shoulder restraint rides because of the...
It’s fairly notorious for causing motion sickness/being bad for people who get motion sick. Your specific case of nausea may have had other contributing factors but this is something that definitely affects a lot of people.
I’m a massive Star Wars geek (although more of the “enough with the Skywalker Saga timeline, you’ve got a massive creative universe to explore and you’re telling the same stories about the same characters” type), but I’m also a thrill ride person. When we first rode Rise, my whole family had a...
I’m planning on doing the 10k with my niece and Half with my nephew next year. Probably won’t do any more than that unless a bout of insanity hits me on registration day. I like the themes, but you never really know what the shirts, merch, and medals will look like until Marathon Weekend. I...
SAFD:
Epcot
Guardians over LwtL
Soarin’ over Spaceship Earth
HS
Midway Mania over Tower of Terror
Runaway Railway over Rise
MK
Splash/Tiana’s over Anything
Big Thunder over Pirates
AK
Flight of Passage over Everest
Safari over Jungle Trek
SAFD:
I was somewhat shocked at how much I enjoyed the Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas Half Marathon a couple years ago. I loved running at dusk vs. early in the AM. Running the full strip, being a virtually 100% out and back so we could see all the other runners the whole time, and having it turn to...
If they made this there would be fights to be the gunners (yes, I mean between myself and my family) and I would never be able to take anyone arguing Rise>MF:SR seriously again.:rotfl2:
When you aren’t alone with your own group the option will always (from what I’ve seen) be given to the larger party to choose their roles first and they will almost always choose some amongst their group to be the pilots. Most of the time, for obvious reasons, groups with kids (even very small...
I also feel this way, particularly if you are a pilot in Smuggler’s Run. Smuggler’s Run would’ve made my list if there was a little more interactivity for the gunners and mechanics outside of pushing buttons when they light up. Not sure how they could’ve added more interactivity for those...
