Have you ever been stuck on a ride?

[crazeedizneefinatic]

Okay, every now and than a ride does stop for others needing assistance getting on. I mean being stuck on a ride for 20 minutes or so. I don't know what trip it was but we were stuck on Peter Pan for about 20 minutes. I don't remember the reason, I know something technical. We were stuck over the the scene almost at the beginning it was the ariel view of the town with the lights and cars. I Would love to hear others stories.

Lucky you getting stuck on Peter Pan!

My DH was stuck on Test Track for 22 minutes once. That is the only ride he has ever had experienced "shutting down" on him.

Other than the short little down times (for wheelchair transfers, etc) in Pooh, Snow White, etc, we really don't have that problem much!

DW and I were stuck on the Skyway for about 20 minutes several years ago. After that experience, we never rode it again.

We were about 30 feet from the end point.
The cast members kept telling us to be calm, they would get us down. We were not really worried until they said "don't worry".

We had visions of being lifted out by crane.
Thankfully, that did not happen. The ride started again and we swore never again.

We have had a number of small delays on some attractions such as the Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Car., and Peter Pan. We have only had one long delay and that was on Splash Mountain.

What is so frustrating is that in almost every case the delays were caused by guests doing things they weren't suppose to be doing. You know that is what happens because the ride stops and "the voice of God" booms out something like, "keep your arms in your boat'" or whatever.

When the stop happened on Splash Mountain it was caused by a couple of guests who decided to get out of the log and walk up to the sets! I don't remember exactly what scene we were in but I do remember that you could reach out and touch the "walkway" next to the boat. These two women were about three logs ahead of us and when the log stopped they hopped out. Needless to say the lights came on, the music stopped and the voice immediately yelled out.

What amazed me was how quickly the voice happened and also how quickly several Cast Members popped up out of nearby doorways! Unfortunately the two women involved were apparantly trying to prove some kind of point because they refused to cooperate with the CM's. The situation devolved into a shouting match by the women and the CM's basically dragging them out! To make matters worse for my family is that my two children who were about 10 and 9 at the time had to witness the entire thing! Needless to say my wife and I used that as an opportunity for a little education in proper behavior!

I also have to give the Cast Members a pat on the back for how well they handled the situation. One last thing that really impressed me is that one of the CM actually turned to the rest of us waiting in our logs and actually apologized for having our experience so rudely interupted! Needless to say we all gave the CM a round of applause!

Got stuck on several rides! The most memorable ones were being stuck on ToT for about 15 minutes - but it was very interesting to see them work on the ride vehicles with the lights on, LOL!
More scary - got stuck at the highest point of Indiana Jones before you go into the loop in DLRP! After about 20 minutes we had to climb down very steep steps (ladder like) and I am NOT good with hights. To make things worse I had two of my students with me!

[Bethanymouse]

We have been stuck on Snow White and TTA. The TTA was the longest, probably about a half hour to 40 minutes. Snow White was just a few minutes.

We got stuck on Soarin for 30 minutes. Computers went down and they had a hard time getting us down. It was a little scarry sitting way up there. We were in row 1 so we were up very high.

I got stuck on the Great Movie Ride. After about 1/2 hour (with the guide CM trying to do standup comedy), they turned on the lights and pulled built-in stairs out from the cars. We climbed down and were walked out to the exit. Unfortunately, we were almost at the end of the ride when it broke down, so I didn't get to see much backstage stuff.

Another time, I got stuck in the Carousel of Progress and got to listen/watch one scene 4 times before they got it going again. By the 3rd time, people were reciting the script along with the "actors"!

[T-Belle]

We had a great delay. We were on Kilimanjaro Safaris. I don't know what was keeping us from moving, apparently animals in front of a vehicle in front of us, but it was great to watch the animals along side of us. My guess is that we were "stuck" for about 20 minutes.

[Dsnygirl]

We weren't stuck on a ride, but waiting for one b/c of thunder & lightening. We were told it would be about 20 minutes, and since we were in queue, we decided not to lose our space, as lines were long. Well, 20 minutes turned into about 45, and we were right next to the speaker in the rocks that tells the story of Bre'r Rabbit, narrated by James Earl Jones. Can I just tell you that even now, 10 years later, my DH and I will quote the beginning of that story to each other and laugh??

[crazeedizneefinatic]

Great responses so far! I think the best is stuck on Soarin'! I cannot imagine being stuck that high up! Were the lights turned on so you could see down??

[trackbarroness]

I got stuck on Dinasour once does that count?

[vizsla]

We have been stuck on TT, Living with the Land, and Splash Mountain.

[pogo]

Stuck on Splash while on the uphill climb before the big drop. It was our first time riding it and the expression on my DW's face was priceless.

[WDWfeelslikehome]

DW and I were stuck on Nemo and Friends in the tunnel with the flashing lights, listening to crush say, "huh huh hear we go", over and over again.

[SBETigg]

We've been stuck on so many rides. Spash Mountain, three times(once halfway up to the big drop with my nervous daughter). Carousel of Progress(through the same scene three times, memorized dialogue, still quote it). Pirates of the Caribbean, 4 times(by the dog with the keys once for twenty minutes). Spaceship Earth, twice(once right when the cars turn to go down backward). Haunted Mansion(kids behind us fooling around made CMs stop the ride in three different spots).

And once we were evacuated from Space Mountain just as we sat down because cars collided on the ride and someone had a hurt ankle(but minor injury). We left with the lights on and got fastpasses to ride again any time the next day. Ran into EMTs coming in a back door on the way out.

We've been stuck on ToT, Dinosaur, Spaceship Earth and Ellen's Universe of Energy. On Ellen's ride we all had to walk out

I've been stuck on Pirates and Space Mountain.

Pirates was when I was my parents and we stopped for about 10 mins in the middle of the boat fight scene prior to the rehab so you could see how big the room really was and how much water was around you. Then again later on just before you turn to head through the last tunnel. The Cm's apologized to us on our way out for the delay.

On Space Mountain I was hanging out in MK when mom was back at Pop. We boarded our cars went around the first bend/tunnel then just as we began going up hill we stopped suddenly and the cars all snapped back a bit. Not only did it snap my back but it made my lap bar tighten. we were stuck for 30 mins and then got to ride through with the lights on. They offered to let us ride it again and I said no as did the others. After seeing it with the lights on I never want to ride it again until it is updated and less jerky.

[Goofeygal]

Yes the lights were on and you could look down!!!!
