The Final Ride

Alpharad and friends race towards their final ride of the Disneyland challenge (where you ride all the rides in Disneyland plus California Adventures in a single day), the clock struck midnight, signalling the closing of the park. At first, Alpharad believed this was it, playing it up like a very bittersweet ending... when his tour guide reveals that the staff are obligated to give the people still in line when the park closes one last ride.
