once and only once. Riding Rockin roller coaster i was trying to video tape the launch for a video i was making for my college program. 3!...2!...1!... GO!!!.

..... but we didnt go and a cast member came over to me to put the camera away. a bit embarrassing to say the least
Same happened to me in April.

You probably have stopped the red button for me a couple of times because I am always tinkering with my camera LOL. One time when I was 12 I was on Spaceship Earth and I almost took an extended ride back into the loading dock shutting off my camera. I bolted my butt thru Global Neighborhood like the place was on fire I was so embarrassed.

That must have been a fun ride. :lol:

I was thinking the same thing. :) Though, I've never pushed the Big Shiny Red Button of Power during normal operation--just during power up and power down procedures. I did cause an intrusion once while I was working, but before I was in attractions. :eek: I've also taken Safaris 101 before, though it was really the fault of the ostrich who stood in front of my truck and refused to move.

I did not know the Safaris could go 101, that is interesting.

In Jan of 2010, they had to stop the Haunted Mansion for me. I were contacts, and it was late at night, so my eye's were very dry. When we got to the HM unload, I rubbed my eyes and my left contact fell out. Please keep in mind ... I'm blind as a bat (not to offend anyone, but I can't see 3 feet in front of me without my contacts), so, I yelled ... "Hold on please, my contact fell out" The CM stopped the ride, and I searched frantically for my contact, after about a minute, the CM said they had to get the ride moving again. I completely understood, so I said "Thank you miss, and I'm sorry for being a pain", in which she replied "No problem ". I had to walk back to the bus stop (with one eye open) go back to the room, and put in one of my extra contacts( I always bring extra on trips) . Anyway ......... that' how I stopped a ride :wave:

This has been a very interesting read.
I have never stopped a ride before but a few years ago at IOA my best friend and I pretty much got yelled at on every ride for trying to take pics. It made us laugh.
 
I don't think I caused it, but I was in the front of a Splash log and the log got stuck on a small incline at the end of the ride. I'm pretty sure that I leaned back to talk to my mom and sister and threw off the log's balance. I was so embarrassed! I seriously thought that they were going to have to manually push the log down. I heard the belt underneath struggling and after a moment or two we started going again. I was a bear causing some trouble that day. :ROFLOL:

on ToT i had a map fly out of my bag and set of a sensor or something, which caused the ride to make an emergency stop mid drop......niether the employees nor the other riders were happy. everyone got a fastpass to re ride except me and my group :cry::cry: I was embarrassed

Every time I get in line for Test Track it makes an emergency stop before I ever get in a vehicle. I have since stopped getting in line. :shrug:
I don't think the ride likes me.:lol:
