Creator's Key Takeaways
The rule with the children pick the day video is that it does not matter what the wait times are. If this what he is what he wants to ride, then this is what he gets to ride.
I think James has picked the longest line in the park every single time. Well, he hasn't picked Rise. That's the longest. He's picked the second longest line in the park. Pretty much every time.
We're going to do the double rider. Even if it were 10 minutes, maybe even five, I would still consider double rider cuz I get to skip the pre-show that way.
