    Funny Story:

    It was my parents' first time to Walt Disney World. They've never seen anything like it. We were on Dinosaur when the ride broke down for an extended time. Even when the ride is down, the audioanimatronics keep moving. You could hear them in the darkness. After a long period, my mom said, "Maybe we should dial 9-1-1." She was truly frightened.

    To this day, if we're on a ride and it breaks down, someone says, "Should we call 9-1-1?"

    We got stuck on POTC last year for 10 minutes at the beginning of the ride in the mermaid area and had to listen to "Jolly Sailor Bold" over and over and over and over again...

    Most recently, we were stuck on Expedition Everest. The ride shut down just as we go to the very top where the tracks are torn up and we should start moving backwards. We sat there for about 15 minutes or so before the ride restarted and we began moving again. I will say we had a wonderful view from that vantage point!!

    Got stuck on Toy Story Mania at Disneyland around the time it was just opening. Had to wait about 5 to 8 minutes until someone came to let us out of the vehicle. They then walked us through the ride to the exit.

    We've been delayed many times on HM, PoTC, TT and waited in line at the gate for RnRC...but in all the years we've gone we have never gotten stuck on a ride. Knock on wood! IaSW would be the worst! I pity anyone stuck on it!

    Last year we were on the TTA when Space Mountain went down. So we got to see it with the lights on. People were stranded all over! We got a pretty cool video of it from the TTA!

    My brother got stuck on "It's a Small World" for a good 1/2 hour. He told me that he had nightmares after that for a long time! I'm sure he was exaggerating but I do agree that it would be the worst to be stuck on!

    Yes!! We were stuck on Splash Mountain in one of the last scenes... the "zip-a-dee-doo-dah" scene with the singing chickens on the big riverboat! That 15 minutes seemed to last forever before they got our logs moving again. Holy cow those chickens can sing loud! LOL

    The boat in front of us sank and got stuck in the fire scene on Pirates of the Caribbean. We were stuck for over 20 minutes. The guests on that boat had to get out and walk out. They pulled the boat to a spot where they could take it out of service and then we rode the rest of the way through.

    We listened to "Pirates life for me" over and over for about 10 minutes and they finally turned the music off but the dog kept barking and about drove us crazy.

    Default Stuck on a ride

    Yes about 10 years ago on test track right as it was turning the corner for it's final 65 mph turn. My wife took my older son to Universal for the day and I stayed back with my younger son and daughter. We went on test track and the two kids were just thrilled and could not wait to tell their mom and brother about it since they did not go on it yet.
    The next day we went back to Epcot, waited in line, and got on. As it was starting to turn the corner for the final fast part of the ride it slowly stopped and we sat there, sat there and then my wife said " this is different" how long do we sit here for. Well, we sat there for 10 minutes, never knew why.
    Needless to say we got off and got back in line so they could get the true feel of the ride.

    I've been stuck on a few rides.

    The one I remember the most was the Carousel of Progress. I lost count of how many times we watched the same scene over and over. It's always been one of my favorites but I didn't go on it for quite some time afterwards.

    We've also been stuck on the final section of Buzz Lightyear, Pirates of the Caribbean, It's a Small World and the Haunted Mansion.

    When you go a lot , it's inevitable that you'll get stuck on something that's not working!

    DH got stuck on ToT about 6 yrs ago. We were doing ride swap. DS and I kept waiting and waiting. It was right before the drops. They had to be escorted off and climb safety ladders to get out. He said it was a little scary but pretty cool to see!
