Geez Louise, I'll have to make sure my son doesn't watch the news tonight. He and my wife were on BTMRR in WDW when it stopped during a rainstorm. They were stuck on it for about 10 or 15 minutes in the open while buckets of rain were pouring down. When they got off, they were soaked to the bone and he was crying. I was surprised that nobody at the park even bothered to apologize. Maybe the sponsor of BTMRR should be Amtrak.

Don't be so quick to pass off what you think as fact. If it was just a freak thing, they won't do that. However, if it is a ride flaw, they will need to shut down a lot more than just the BTMs, they will also need to shut down all the Arrow (they are made by Arrow, correct?) rides with the same ride system.

eek! not to sound selfish (tho it is hard with the question i'm about to ask) - anyone have a list of those arrow supplied rides? I head down to WDW in a week and would be really bummed if the majority of the stuff was closed...
...though I understand BTMR at WDW is already closed for rehab, right?
