I would love to take some LPers with me and have drinks/cocktails in the front room (where you enter), a wonderful supper in the Great Hall, and dessert in the graveyard.

Space Mountain is intense too, with all those sharp turns. Contrary to how people joke about IASW, I think I could deal with that one.... I know I could fall asleep after awhile, even with the song playing over and over.
Originally Posted By TMICHAEL I'll take 24 on the Mark Twain. You can walk around, sit, take in the view and talk with a bunch of different folks. Plus there is(was)a cot up in the wheel house for naps.
Originally Posted By wonderingalice trekkeruss and I could do this together... *LOL* The Teacups would definitely be the worst for me - with any coaster coming in a close second. And I agree that the best would be the scenic rides (though the DLRR fumes might get to me after awhile) ... And I could do IASW with no problem, too. I'd thought that the Fantasyland dark rides would be good, but with the exception of Peter Pan, most of them either jostle or "BOOM," i.e., the cake exploding in my namesake's attraction.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I could do IASW, Splash, the scenic rides mentioned before, Storybookland, Dumbo/Astro Orbitor, the Jungle Cruise, the Tiki Room, or pretty much anything else that is outside, doesn't have too many sharp turns, blacklights, or fumes (like Autopia, Casey Jr, and the diesel version of the Subs). Blacklights could give me a headache after a couple hours, the turns would inhibit sleep, fumes would be obnoxious, but being outside for some part of the ride would make it interesting and constantly changing.
Originally Posted By tiggertoo KA's Carousel would be the worst. Imagine the pain after just a couple hours on that. I wouldn't be able to walk for a week. I think I could to Pirates for 24 though.
Originally Posted By sherrytodd No way I could do Pirates for 24 hours. Those seats are hard and hurt my butt! I don't think I could sit still for anything for 24 hours unless I was heavily sedated. I think I'll go join the campout on Tom Sawyer Island.
Originally Posted By tiggertoo I have a fun story sort of related to this topic. When I work Autopia a few years ago, there was a lady who lied her way into a second ride. Well, those of us on track thought, “Okay, we’ll show her.†So what we did was, every time she came around, we would hold her at the Y location, then escorted past the loading area and sent her on her merry way again. We made her ride Autopia 8 times in a row. By the time we let her off, she was literally running away from the attraction. That was a fun day! Anyway, I guess 8 times is all anyone can stand of Autopia.

He agreed that that would be pretty special. Coincidentally, when we rode the Matterhorn that very same trip, the ride came to an end and we started to unbuckle as we pulled in. Right then, a CM mumbled something about the length of the line (which was long, so it didn't make sense), and our portion of the track moved over to the left, the cars behind us were brought up and emptied out, and then we were moved back over to the right side of the track and offered another ride! We could not BELIEVE IT!!! It was absolutely amazing, since it had never happened to me in my 37 years or my son before -- and since we had talked about that very thing happening just days earlier! We still laugh about it to this day. As far as riding anything for 24 hours, only thing I think I could tolerate for that long would be the Mark Twain!
