This was back in the mid 90s I believe, when I was about 10, on our last day of vacation.
We had just gotten off of Mr. Toad and I wanted to go on it again. My parents vetoed that and took my sister and I on 20,000 Leagues. There was about a half hour left until park closing (midnight) and they said that they promise that we would go on Toad after 20K Leagues--no wait with plenty of time!
Of course 20K Leagues broke down. We had just come out of the show building, and everything stopped and the lights went out and it got really, really stuffy inside the sub. Our captain said not to panic, that even though it feels as if the air is not working, it is working in actuality. I remember being scared under water in a sub and not getting enough oxygen. I remember a slight type of panic on the sub with a few people. There was a younger girl behind me that wet her pants. We were stuck for what really was the longest time, in a dark, hot, stuffy, stinky, sub.
We were "rescued" after park closing and thus did not get to ride Mr Toad that night. Needless to say, we never got to ride Mr Toad or 20K Leagues ever again.
If only I knew that was my last time ever on Toad...
