[ what is a roller coaster? he never understands what stephanie is trying to say. and such a picture would serve no purpose, hence it would be foolish—
how fast is a little fast? surely not faster than an archangel can fly. seems like they'll be experiencing this firsthand, so he decides not to ask a pointless question. ion is better equipped to carry a conversation than him, anyway. ]
Well, if you say that it will be a good introduction, then I suppose it must be.
[ he actually has no qualms at all about however fast 'a little fast' might be. and a roller coaster is... clearly what stephanie is going to be taking them on, sandalphon, keep up. ]
[ at this point stephanie has accepted that this is going to be sandy just quietly brooding as she and ion have casual conversation, until something happens that sandalphon has to verbally object to. it's fine. she is okay with this setup. ]
Right! Onward!
[ and towards tomorrowland, which is where this specific ride resides!! ]
[This broody old-timer doesn't see the point of entertainment, much less understand anything Stephanie is saying (seriously, he can't follow this conversation); however, in deference to her and Ion, as well as the fact that he can't just leave, he shall dutifully follow. At least he's not digging his heels about going on a ride.]
[ and luckily for them, and for the sake of this thread, they managed to catch it while the wait time is something not terrible, like 10-15 minutes. as soon as steph sees that number she picks up speed. ]
Come on, we can't waste this opportunity.
[ she... does not elaborate what she means by that. ]
[What? What manner of opportunity is this? Frowning, Sandalphon follows suit. All questions shall be answered upon experiencing the wonder, he reckons, though it doesn't escape his notice that people are congregating into a lengthening line with many more approaching behind their trio.]
Oh. That's Fastpass. Basically, you get a pass that lets you skip the line, but you can only go at the time period that's on the pass? So if we got one now, we wouldn't be able to actually go on the ride until a few hours later.
[ this thread is just steph explain disney customs to them. ]
[Wait till they get to the part where the terminals have taken photos of them. In any case, Sandalphon has never seen so many people crowding around one thing before. As ever, mortals come up with the strangest customs while he remains a boring sourpuss who refuses to engage with anything.]

It's a roller coaster! It's super fun, but-- it goes a little fast.

Is this what the people of your world expect their future to be like...

I have no idea. A few decades ago? Leave Disney alone.

[ It's quaint enough that he snickers a little, acting his age for once.
But anyway, he also glances at Steph expectantly over Sandalphon points out the building. ]

Except, there's also...? ]
And what of that, over there? It seems somewhat shorter, if that's what you mean by opportunity...
Is there something that stops people from simply waiting in that line?
[ That's the Fastpass line, Ion. ]
