EPCOT Test Track evacuation today

[SingleRider]

I was evacuated from Test Track this morning, and apparently some guests in a car ahead of us had gotten out before CMs got to their car. They were making announcements about being able to see us through the monitors, and while we were walking there was an empty car and the CMs mentioned that those people had left.

How would these people have been able to do that? I glanced at the car when we walked by and it didn't appear that the seatbelts had been cut, so how would they have been able to free themselves otherwise?

What would have happened to these people? I'm assuming they would have at least been kicked out of the park for the day.

Have you not noticed that people are awful? Anyway, it might not have had anything to do with the stop. That might have been a car that previously was a participate in an untimely "protein spill" or worse and they just let that one go empty and stopped it where they can pull it off line at that time to reclaim it at the return empty trip. I doubt we will even know.

I doubt that - if there was a protein spill they could have taken the car off the track at the turn-off right after the seatbelt check. I saw that happen with a car (not this one) that had trouble on one of my previous rides when the CMs were checking seatbelts. They escorted those people off and then sent the car away to the left at the seat belt check.

I don't see how that matters as it just could be a car that was left empty for whatever reason or if someone did get off early still had to get back to where it was loaded and they had to find the ones that got out. That could have happened after the seat belt test area and no matter where the vehicle was it still had to get around where the exit area is.
