Our worst was getting a stoppage on IASW, where we sat for over 45 min listening to "that song"over and over and over again. I didnt want to go on the ride but only did it to keep DW company. After these several years she still owes me big time.
I hear that after a while, you start to hear the real meaning of the "IASW" song..
It's a world of hurt
it's a world of pain
It's a world coming up if you don't go away
Pack your bags, leave tonight
Or you'll end up in a fight
It's a hard, hard, world.

The worst malfunction - as opposed to ride condition - is either CoP or Ellen's Energy Adventure.
We got stuck in the same room on CoP for what must have been 15 minutes, with nothing happening, just the frozen stage set. Likely people were walking off in other rooms, so maybe you really can't call that a malfunction.
On Ellen's, they had to walk off the entire ride after everything went dead right by the dinosaurs.

My daughter and got stuck on the RRC @ DHS for over 30 min. Lights came after 5 min or so, and we realized that the building that houses the ride is basically a tall storage shed, complete with huge piles of boxes, crates, etc against every wall!

Simple. Trader Sam wandered in.
Similar experience with Radiator Spring Racers when it first opened. We were in the standby line that was supposed to be 70 minutes long.... as we got about 50 minutes into it we could see the end of the line... and then the ride proceeded to break down on a regular basis... 1 maybe 2 cars would go and then it would shut down for a while... it took over 4 hours before we got on the ride the bulk of that time was in the last maybe 60 yards of of the queue where we literally watched cars leave followed by 15 to 20 minutes reboots of the system... over and over. I have no clue how many times it malfunctioned only that because it was our last day there that we were committed to waiting no matter what.
My friends are at MK today and they said Splash looked amazing. How badly is it deteriorating?

I just rode yesterday and several effects and animatronics weren’t working
Out of the 3 frogs at the beginning, 1 was missing and one wasn’t working. Only 1 was singing correctly
raccoon with the harmonica was missing
the projection with Br’er Fox and Br’er Bear chasing Br’er Rabbit froze and reset halfway through the animation.
Br’er Bear caught in the trap wasn’t moving up and down
Million Dollar bunny wasn’t hopping.
Br’er frog who sings laughing place mouth wasn’t moving.
Br’er Roadrunner was missing
the speakers for the vultures who taunt you before the big drop are going out. They’re static-y and are barley audible.
Same to be said with the speakers at the end with Br’er fox’s tail getting chomped by the alligator. Static-y and barely audible. If I didn’t know what he was already saying, I wouldn’t be able to decipher it.
That's not TOO bad. When you said it was deteriorating, I was thinking a few notches above 2012-level Splash

I had to be evacuated once from Splash and also the People Mover because of how long it was down. I sat there watching Brer Fox try to push Brer Bear in the hole for probably at least a good 45 minutes and then finally Disney gave up and came and got us all. We wound up getting fast passes of course so at least there was that. My wife's cousin was at the Halloween Party a few years ago and watched the Headless Horseman actually fall down and have his horse land on his leg!

Nope, not nearly as bad. But if it keeps up, it will get there eventually.

Made me realize when I went Saturday I didn’t see it hop either.

Really cool video there and you’re right about how good the animatronics used to look. It’s been 3 years since we last rode Splash but it certainly wasnt anywhere near that level of operation. Splash is still one of my faves but I really have to be in the mood to ride it. You do notice the things that are missing/ not operating and that really does cheapen the whole experience.

We got stuck on TT in front of the 18 wheeler for a while. That horn gets old fast... I guess it could have been worse. We could have gotten stuck in the heat chamber
When I was there in 2016 he was frozen with both the beehive and his head raised all the way up. Looked like he was raising Simba

Absolutely. Things were looking pretty dire throughout. Since then there have been tons of refurbishments to the parks and the rides are generally in acceptable condition.
