    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...

    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!

    Winnie the Pooh ride, this past September. Right at the point where you start "bouncing" with Tigger. I would say it was something like 20 minutes. They had to go get a foot stool to help us down, as the ride did not restart and everyone was led out the side entrance.

    We were all given a magic fastpass good for any ride at any time, and that was good for like two weeks. We used it for Peter Pan, as Pooh wasn't long when we returned.

    I was stuck on Space Mountain. We had taken our position to begin, but we never started. We sat and sat and, finally, a CM came to help us out of the vehicles and walk us out.

    Like Nate, I hit 999,9999 on Buzz Lightyear. I like that one because I tell my youngest son he can never beat my record.

    This probably wasn't being "stuck".

    On omnimover rides, the entire tracks of cars needs to stop temporarily to allow people with mobility issues to board a ride vehicle.

    This probably happens to me 3 or 4 times during a week long trip. I just hope it happens in Buzz Lightyear!

    My cousin and I were stuck on Splash Mountain at the very top of the hill for about 15 minutes. A couple years ago, my family and I got stuck on Expedition Everest right before the yeti and they had to walk us behind the scenes. Other rides Ive been stuck on in the past have been: HM, TT, PoTC , TTA, & Space Mountain

    I've been stuck on rides a bunch of times but the longest was on the people mover. I was with my cousin and we wanted to see the inside line for Space Mountain. We were across from the ride when we heard a loud bang, like lightning hit something, and the ride stopped. It began to pour, then the wind picked up. We got down on the floor, I have no idea what we thought that was going to do, until cast members came through to get us out. We were on a path along side the track and taken through Mickey's Star Traders. We were completely soaked, our sneaked squished as we walked. We had to go back to our room and when we got there, we found out the resort didn't see a drop of rain.

    I noticed the stories about going through attractions without music/animatronics moving. My son and I went through Splash Mountain once when there was absolutely no music or movement in the animatronics. The cast members sent us through again and everything was working.

    We just got stuck on Haunted Mansion this past Saturday. We sat for probably 15 minutes or so, then they turned off the music, put the lights on, and walked us off.

    Was SO cool to get to walk out through the graveyard scene!!!

    I've been stuck on several rides, but this is my most memorable. My family and I got stuck on Horizons. CM's took us out of the car. The guy took a piece off the back of the car, and we climbed out. We were walked off the ride and came out in the back parking lot and had to walk up back to Epcot. What a cool experience!
