Some context is nice here. This is the list of most evacs where they had to call the fire department to assist in removing guests. With that in mind, it's no surprise three of the top four are water rides. They are some of the most difficult to remove guests who may have disabilities.

Summarized, other rides may break more, but they don't require the fire department to help remove guests as much as water rides or a coaster like Space Mountain.

This is a bit skewed though b/c it opened just before this timeframe began though...and it was down a lot in the beginning.
When it first opened, didn't Disneyland encounter a lot of bugs too? I think this is a lot more common and they are just trying to make it a big deal...:cautious:

Doesn't FEA still contain most of the original Maelstrom ride mechanics, but with new show scenes? If that's the case, then I can understand the issues, as it would be a 30 year old attraction that probably didn't get as much attention maintenance wise over the years than other attractions like SE, JII, etc.

They reconfigured the ride path some, but most of the attraction uses the Maelstrom ride path. I don't know what kind of repair work was done on the main infrastructure. To be honest, all rides that include water have an additional set of problems that non-water-based rides don't have. Can you imagine what it takes to combat mildew and wear on the electronics? It's a miracle any of the water rides have been able to last as long as they have.

You are right, most of the rides on the list are one that are hard to evacuate. It's interesting to see Winnie the Pooh and Toy Story Midway Mania on there which you would think would be very easy to evacuate.

Winnie the Pooh has a very high step off, and they have guests use a ladder to get out of the honey pot. I can imagine that if there's a wheelchair on the ride, there would be and issue. The same is likely true of TSM. It's probably better for them to call the fire department if there's a wheelchair since they are experts in handling these situations.
