However, it does that by separate script function and not by [[Dialogue Queue]]. Because of that, a ding sound, which counts as separate dialogue, is forcefully played a short while (0.1 seconds) later, interrupting the fizzler dialogue and preventing the early Elevator Fade to happen. It is possible to avoid it by waiting for both ''cube- and button-based testing'' dialogues to end and then leaving the chamber, or interrupting the Dialogue Queue in a short break between these dialogues (0.5 seconds) with one of fizzler dialogues. |

Overview
Container Ride is the first map in the game, and subsequently, the first map of the Courtesy Call chapter. The map is mostly a long, drawn-out cut-scene designed to teach players basic movement, and introduce the concept of portals in the same way as the first game, but with Aperture Science's new run-down aesthetic to show off.
General Route
Be familiar with the announcers instructions, look up or down when you need to, stand in-front of, and look at the painting when needed, and tap +use on your bed after the music is done playing.
Once you're re-awoken, stand by the door so that Wheatley opens it and starts the next pseudo-cutscene. It's good practice to stand under where he goes into the ceiling, as the height of the ceiling is lower here, and you can jump quicker, for a fast response when Wheatley asks you to talk with him. After saying apple, the map is just waiting until the third slam into the wall. After the third slam, there is a small window where the player is stopped by an invisible wall. Once the wall is gone, circle jump into the room bellow, and wait for the announcer to tell you he is going to open the portal.
Once the portal is opened, circle jump out of the portal, and hop along the outside of the starting room.
Dialogue Skip (Recommended for new players)
Slightly Faster Dialogue Skip
Challenge Mode Specific
Because the map is basic and short gameplay-wise, every small optimization matters.
Container Pre-Hop
Note: Doing this too quickly can soft-lock the game, Wheatley's dialogue will stop the announcer's and you will soft-lock.
You should know if your pre-hop was successful if Wheatley and the announcer talk at the same time, and Wheatley is eventually cut off.
Elevator Trigger
This trigger will activate the elevator. It's located right before the fizzler that you need to stop in-front of for the fast dialogue skip, so hitting this trigger, but not the fizzler quickly will save time by bringing down the elevator quicker.
Elevator Pre-Hop
Jumping into the elevator at the end of the level is a common trick used in non-official challenge mode maps so that the elevator starts its movement down slightly faster. When the hitbox of the elevator disappears and you are able to hop through changes map by map, so making a save to test the timing is recommended.
