A new account finds an audience
Although Pre-Work Park Rat is still a new account, Luke’s videos quickly began receiving thousands of likes as viewers followed his daily successes, setbacks and close calls.
“It has been exciting and overwhelming,” he said. “Do not get me wrong, I wanted to grow these accounts, but I expected to be where I am now [at about two weeks] to take longer than it has. The support has motivated me in a way I never thought possible.”
Luke has not decided when the challenge will end. Although reaching Day 100 is his current short-term goal, he views the routine as something that supports his physical health and hopes it can continue indefinitely.
He is also considering which other Universal Orlando attractions might work for a future pre-work adventure. One possible candidate is Stardust Racers, the dual-launch racing coaster at Universal Epic Universe. However, since annual passes to Epic Universe are not yet available, the option is not possible.
His workplace is aware of the unusual morning ritual, too. Luke says he works in IT and has received support from his boss and co-workers.
After all, Pre-Work Park Rat began with a co-worker wondering whether the idea was possible. Now, thousands of viewers are checking in to see if he can pull it off each day.
