I was evac'ed from POTC in DL, in 1999. We were hung up at the very first drop. Not very exciting, that one.
Then, in 2006, we got stuck on ToT! The car stopped moving, and we were sitting in the pitch dark. We could hear Rod saying from below us, "A warm welcome back, for those of you who made it." All of us in the car were just looking around, using our cell phones for light, wondering WTH was going on.
We must have sat in the pitch black for what seemed like 5 minutes (probably not that long, but FELT like it!). We had a view of the little niche with the mannequins. Some of the smaller kids were starting to cry, and I just keep thinking of the Final Destination movies, lol. Finally, the announcement about the ride being halted, etc etc, then we were moved to a level where we could get off, and took the elavator down to the ride load. We were allowed to all get right back on another car if we wanted. It was explained that two of the riders in our car were coming up waaaay too far out of their seats, which they observed on camera, and they decided to shut it down for safety.
Made me feel better to know it was a planned thing, not a malfuntion, and that we were being watched throughout.
