The two truly defining factors, the bridge and the last waterfall, are both very finicky, and so they aren't really possible to master to the point where you can get them near enough every time. It requires an extreme amount of patience to finish a solid run which nails these two parts on all three laps.
To achieve splits that are of a world record standard isn't an extremely hard task for the very best players, providing that these two parts are absolutely spot on. For instance, Thomas and I both have splits to go under 58.9, yet we both only have high 59.3s. This is why a lot of the best all-rounders are not close to the world record, and why the top 10s, both worldwide and regional are very spread out despite the track being short, and also why the last two world records have stood for so long.
Given these circumstances, the rYF world record is a very tough one, and whoever holds it next will almost certainly need to invest a lot of time into the track. It is not something you accomplish in a few days.
This pretty much sums it up.
Personally I would say that the last waterfall is harder than the bridge and more important for getting good runs. I've done a few 10 minute sessions in the last 1000 days and it's always the last waterfall that I'm way too rusty at. So I never made a serious attempt at improving this WR.
When I originally got this WR it was the motivation of beating Omega's time that really pushed me to play the track. Without having that motivation anymore the track just isn't that interesting to me.
