Today's (May 15) DCA Survey

[bennette]

My husband were in DCA briefly today to see what we could see with the changes and as always, jumped on the chance to be surveyed.

Today our helpful CM asked us the basics (home location, type of media, ages represented, etc.).

Today's questions included whether we were there for a specific attraction. Answer "No, just checking out changes in the park."

He then suggested trying the second level of the Trattoria or the Most Boring Ever Fun Wheel for views of Carsland.

He asked if we knew we could make a reservation at the Carthay Circle restaurant (he didn't describe it, just asked if we knew the option was available). Answer: "Yes, reservation obtained!"

That was about it.

As the Trattoria was not yet open, my husband graciously agreed to wait through a 25-minute line and nine minutes of loading for a two minute and ten second ride on the Most Boring Ever Fun Wheel (we haven't been on that ride since DCA opened!). The views of Carsland were not too bad, though, as they were testing cars on the track. We also saw some scuba divers out and about in the World of Color equipment.

Just have to say I love Mickey's Fun Wheel, but I've never had to wait that long to experience it. I do think the views are worth the wait!

I timed it because It just always look like the slowest moving ride in the world and then you only go around once.

I love ferris wheels, just not this one.

The Fun Wheel is not our favorite ride, but it will always hold a special place in my heart because of the first time we took the older nephew for a ride. He was 5, thought he knew everything, and chose the swinging gondolas. He was prepared to announce that the ride was boring, when the gondola starting to slide back and SWING. The shocked look on his face was absolutely great! :)

I will NOT go on MFW. Ferris wheels scare the heck out of me.

Mickey's wheel of death? Count me out.
Wonder Twins E. I always have a smile on my face and get the survey people as well. My friend noticed just how many approached me during our trip in December. Never her, occasionally Whistler, and I can't remember about her DH or not.

I think I would like Mickey's wheel if the loading didn't take ages.

I'm not sure I'm a smiler. I just LOVE doing the surveys. Especially when I get a "good" question. :) So if I see one, I tend to slow down and look approachable. Sometimes they clearly aren't interested in us because we are just two; yesterday was unusual.

I rode the MFW last trip and it was my longest line despite the fact I did NOT ride the swinging gondolas. I rode the stationery one on purpose to see.....CARS LAND. It was worth it for that but it is a rather dull ride unless you are on the swinging ones and I only like those if the wait is under 15 minutes.

You actually go around twice. Once with stop-and-gos for loading and once all the way around with no stops.

I don't consider loading part of the ride.

[carolinakid]

I always use the loading trip around to enjoy the great views!

On 5/14 I was only asked for my email address by the survey CM. I expect I'll be getting one by email. I just answered one about the Fantasmic AP party.
