RideMax - Spend Less Time in Line at Disney's Theme Parks



RideMax - Spend Less Time in Line at Disney's Theme Parks The Wizard hopes this story from The Internet Tour Bus helps with your visit to Uncle Walt's home !!!!!
RideMax Audience: Windows users planning to visit Disneyland or Disney World--------------------------------------With Disneyland a scant 13.9 miles from my home in beautiful Irvine, California, I tend to spend WAY too much time inside the gates of the holy rodent empire. In fact, three Sundays ago I spent an entire day in Disneyland with my girlfriend and her two nieces. We rode the Matterhorn [twice], Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Peter Pan's Flight, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, Mad Tea Party, Autopia, Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, The Haunted Mansion [twice], and the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. And then, at 12:30, we stopped for lunch.No, you didn't just misread that. We rode 13 rides before lunch! On a Sunday! In May! In a Disney theme park! How did we do it? Well, before we left the house, we used a commercial Windows program called "RideMax." RideMax computed the historical wait times for each of the rides we selected and then created a printable, minute-by-minute, ride-by-ride itinerary that routed us around the longest lines We printed our personalized RideMax itinerary, took it with us to the park, and then proceeded to completely wear out my girlfriend's two nieces [who actually fell asleep at lunch.] Our longest wait time was approximately 10 minutes [Autopia], and on most of the rides we simply walked on without any wait time at all.RideMax isn't free, and it only runs on Windows. I normally don't promote commercial software on our little bus of internet happiness, but after buying and using the software -- I am a full-paying RideMax customer and the company has no idea who I am or that I am reviewing their software in today's post -- I was so impressed with RideMax I thought you should know about it.Two versions of RideMax are available, one that covers all of the theme parks in Orlando's Walt Disney World [US$29.95] and one that covers the two theme parks in Anaheim's Disneyland Resort [US$26.95.] Both are available at http://www.ridemax.com/Once you download and install the RideMax software on your personal computer, using the software is relatively easy. In fact, check out the "How RideMax Works" page at http://www.ridemax.com/howridemaxworks.phpto see what RideMax looks like and learn how the software uses historical wait time data to create the optimum itinerary for you, one that helps you and your family spend more time riding Disney's rides and less time waiting in Disney's never-ending lines. You then print your RideMax itinerary and bring it with you to the theme park: http://www.ridemax.com/sampleplan.phpIf you are thinking about spending any time at either Anaheim's Disneyland Resort or Orlando's Walt Disney World, check out RideMax. The software isn't free -- it costs between US$25 and $30 depending on the Disney property you'll be visiting -- but it should help you avoid Disney's "Infamous Adventure of the Endless Ride Queue."
