Gumball Rally Stats?

[CUatDL]

Wow!! Looks like everyone hada a great time at The Rally and Quest and Dessert. I couldn't make it (boo hoo) but I'm still curious about the results.

If there is a thread with the stats I didn't see it, (sorry if I missed it)

Congrats to all the winners of both events, and win, place show or whatnot, or just competing, sounds like all had a great time!

But, what were the winning stats for The Rally?

How many rides and attractions?
How long?
Which rides and attractions?

It would be neat to see stats for win, place and show.


Thanks,

Re: Gumball Rally Stats?

Dusty did state that the info on the results will be available sometime this week online at the Dessert Party.

A LOT of work happened on Saturday, and there was VERY little time between the turn in time and the awards ceremony.

But you should see info in the next few days.....

Thanks, I wasn't at the desert party, so I did not know. Looking forward to it. Thanks,

I know people are dying of curiosity, so I'll answer as best as I can. I know I'd be curious too.

But, what were the winning stats for The Rally?

How long?

DPC won, finishing at 7:32pm.
A single rider team (sorry, don't remember the name) finished second at 7:33pm.
I don't remember anything about the third place team.

How many rides and attractions?

35

Which rides and attractions?

Alice in Wonderland
Astro Orbitor
Autopia
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters
Casey Jr. Circus Train
Davy Crockett's Explorer Canoes or Mark Twain Riverboat or Sailing Ship Columbia
Disneyland Railroad
Dumbo the Flying Elephant
Enchanted Tiki Room
Fire Engine or Horse-Drawn Streetcars or Horseless Carriage or Omnibus
Frontierland Shootin' Exposition
Gadget's Go Coaster
Haunted Mansion
Honey, I Shrunk the Audience
Indiana Jones Adventure
Innoventions
it's a small world
Jungle Cruise
King Arthur Carrousel
Mad Tea Party
Main Street Cinema
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
Peter Pan's Flight
Pinocchio's Daring Journey
Pirates of the Caribbean
Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin
Snow White's Scary Adventures
Space Mountain
Splash Mountain (single rider)
Star Tours
Storybook Land Canal Boats
Tarzan's Treehouse
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
Tom Sawyer Island

I didn't expect it when they announced in the morning that the Splash Mountain single rider line was allowed, but it makes perfect sense. That leveled the playing field between single person and multi person teams.

I also didn't expect that we would only have to ride just one Main Street Vehicle and just one Rivers of America vessel. Since many of us finished with time to spare, they'll probably make people ride all of them next year.

We had a very nice booklet of questions to answer about each ride/attraction as proof that we rode it. Questions like "What color is the scarf of such and such pirate in such and such scene?" There were extra questions for some rides so there were more than 35 questions. Different questions were worth different points, but it didn't really matter because many of us successfully rode everything.

By the way, we had to ride the Disneyland Railroad all the way around because there were questions about each segment.

There were a bunch of spotters around the park to make sure we didn't run, team members didn't separate, etc. When we checked in at the finish line, my wife happened to notice that they did have notes about a few teams that broke the rules (probably accidentally). Supposedly, points were deducted for breaking the rules.

Re: Gumball Rally Stats?

WOW!

Sounds like everyone had a great time! From that we also learned that it is possible to ride all the rides one day. I really didn't think it would be possible.

Hmmm... It really sounds like the advantage could go to single rider teams. He who travels alone travels fastest, but maybe not.

Thanks for the info. It also looks like some fun "Rally trip reports" might be on the horizon.

Re: Gumball Rally Stats?

I don't remember anything about the third place team.

Third place was "Ends of de URT", with the fabulous Chernabog and his friend the lurker (who told me he would be signing up as Zipper).

Re: Gumball Rally Stats?

What about the Indy single rider? They don't promote it but I've seen people do it before.

Re: Gumball Rally Stats?

as Darkbeer stated, official results should be posted sometime this week once everyone has recovered fully!

***Is a current Indy castmember***
We dont promote it and it hasnt been done for over a year. The only exceptions that I know of are rider switches or a really exceptional sob story. Granted it still may happen as each CM is different but there it is largely agreed that we dont do single rider.

Question: What are rider switches?

[Owen13Ghost]

Re: Gumball Rally Stats?

Rider Switch Passes are passes that CMs give out at attractions that have a height requirement. In the event that a child in the party does not meet the minimum requirement, they are given a pass so that one person waits with the child while the rest of the party rides. When the party returns, the person who waited is allowed to take one person with them through an alternate enterance (Fasspass Queue at Indy) so they can also ride the attraction.

Re: Gumball Rally Stats?

I know this is off topic but welcome Owen! I am sure I have probably seen you working indy a few times I go on it like 4 times a week. (back to topic) I was a little bumed I had to work and could not do this event but next time I will!

Also :ot: but Indy is my favorite ride at Disneyland. Second at DLR behind ToT of course.

Re: Gumball Rally Stats?

I wish I could of been there.

Once I found out that I couldn't be there ... I tried my own rally on some random saturday in late Augest, I was able to get everything done by around 8:20.. good to see that I am not too far off (an hour, I could shave that off with practice!)

maybe next year!

Hope everyone had fun!

I second that. Owen defended my coolness when another Indy CM had an issue with my whining - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPM8hhuTIYk

I :love: you guys so much! I wish I could work at the park

Haha yup the third place team was my friend Nick and I ... he is joining us on the AIDS Walk too.

We finished right around 8:00 I think.

There WERE teams that finished before us -- but they apparently either missed a ride (i.e. the Main Street Vehicles were a big one that people missed) or they totally screwed up on some questions. Apparently the end "score" was a combination of time and number of rides/points done (there were 101 total points for the Rally).

Really, we were surprised that we placed, since we chatted with a team that finished before us and couldnt for the life of them figure out what they goofed up on.

Lol hey, it's me Pizza from Team CoolPizza, remember? I'm one of those teams you're talking about who missed the Main Street Vehicles, but we did finish around 7:40. I remember talking to you two on Dumbo at around 7:30... oh memories!

pizzamousechips, are you alright? You seem to be taking it rather well, or are you feeling the agony of defeat? I admire you even for getting that close so I hope it doesn't hurt.

Oh thanks for the concern, it truly does hurt! It set in around 3:30 when we got to Main Street and were denied the ride! I knew right then and there we'd lose even with a stellar time, but we still kept going!

My teammate is taking it worse than me, with non-stop rants about how we could've placed, but in the end we're both just happy to have the experience. Plus, we're in a pretty good position to come back next year and ACTUALLY place.

So yeah, it does hurt (especially seeing those awesome prizes), but what's the use in complaining? We had fun, and we'll be back. :ccool:
