Stuck on a ride?????

[eandrsmom]

I don't know if the monorail counts as a ride, but my kids consider it a ride. Several years ago, we got stuck on the monorail between CR and TTC. It was after MK had closed, when the monorails used to operate more than an hour past closing time. We sat just off the platform at TTC for at least 45 minutes in complete darkness. I don't know if there was an electrical issue. or the exact problem, but I do know that after 20 minutes with no air circulation, those cars get hot! Finally, the train made it to the platform. The CM's had to manually pry open the doors. None of the CM's acted like anything out of the ordinary had happened. The whole experience was strange.

Most recently, we were stuck on Pooh and had to walk out. Kinda a weird feeling walking out.

This past trip, Splash Mtn. stopped twice on one ride. Both times the lights came on, and the second stop was right before the hill to the big drop. Definitely ruined the feel.

On the flip side, one of the times we rode Haunted Mansion there were no stops!! First time in several trips that we've gotten all the way through that ride without it stopping.

Well, since in Florida 1 in 3 people use a scooter at WDW, they stop all the time to let those folks on. I've always felt they should limit the number of assisted folks on the ride as to not ruin the ride for everyone else.

a few times.

1. Haunted Mansion in the spell room, with the levitating instruments. Sat there for about 10 minutes, but it was a really hot day and I welcomed the stay in the dark, cold room. Plus I got to notice the little details more.

2. El Gran Fiesta right at the end where they have the fireworks and the stage. It's about a 30 second loop of traditional Mexican song "Adelita" and Donald screaming "HASTA LA VISTA!" 15 of the longest minutes you'll have. Still, I get a chuckle thinking about it actually.

3. TTA People mover right between the two launch/lift tracks inside Space Mountain. I didn't mind this one bit, again, as it was a hot day and I love SM. I was there long enough to snap some pix and record a video of myself explaining what was going on.

Like someone said before, you go to WDW enough you'll get stuck at least once, but I see getting stuck as bonus time on the ride so to speak, and a nice story to tell later.

Just got stuck last Friday morning on Tower of Terror. We were there about 15-20 minutes. Once they got us out we were ushered out to the next elevator and all went fine. My only annoyance about it was I had timed out my ride so I could get a good spot for the Star Wars parade. By the time I got out it was packed. I got a reasonable spot but had to stay wrapped around a tree practically to keep my spot and get pictures.

We got stuck on Toy Story Mania during the soft opening for live forever! Honestly a good 45 minutes maybe an hour. The poor family in front of us had several young children and 3 of them were seated on 1 side together. When we stopped, both parents stopped facing each other and the set of 3 kids stopped facing a wall practically. We were in that last turn. The poor mother was screaming for help. It was traumatic to say the least. Now every time we get on the ride I make sure to leave some wiggle room in the seat just incase we need to get out. Its by far one of my favorite ride but I will never forget that experience.
