Cool Picture. where did the ride go wrong?? and where did you guys come out at?
We were just going through the door, into the drop shaft. We were in the dark for several minutes, then they turned the lights on. 15 or so mins later the ride restated and we were dropped with the lights on. we saw the palstic people in the shaft.
Then to cap it all it stuck at the very bottom thats why they pulled the lift cabin out. The maintensnce guy said not to worry as it was only the safety system being over sensitive.

I was on it once, about four years ago, sitting in the middle seat when something went wrong as we were passing from the shaft onto the track, we got stuck halfway in between, one half of the car was on, one half ws still in the shaft, and we were told not to move or stand or rock the car. The lights came up after about three minutes, and we were told that some people were coming up to remove us, and to still not move around too much. We were removed very dramatically, one by one, onto the track platform, which is like plexiglass and metal tracking. On the walls, where you see the eyeball and breaking window and all, it's like, mesh curtians covering over the T.V.'s that show the images. You can see all the way down to the dropshaft, too, when all the lights go on, and it's a basic brick wall, red. We went down stairs, about what seemed like 8 stories, down to the boiler room, and right back on the ride, in front of everyone, it was so cool!!! :slurp:

Hey!
That's cool. Must have been better with the lights on, right?

Hey!
So did they give you a pass to ride again, without having to wait in Line?
We were offered a chance to ride again or a pass to come back later and not Q. Nobody took them up on the offer, I think it took over 25 minuted to get out from when the ride first stopped. They were very appologetic, Im assuming that the tie wearing guy wasw someone more senior than a normal CM. What surprised us was that the other shaft was running normally so very few people new that anything was wrong
And no it wasnt as much fun with the light on, and that area in the picture is looking back towards the base of the shaft, im assuming that the work shop area is normally screened by a removeable wall. The biggest surprise was how far off the ground the lift car was we had to use a few steps to get out.:hammer:

2 of the 10 vehicles have had seatbalts installed across the entire back seat, with plans in place to refit the entire fleet thusly within a short time.

Seat Belts
We went on three different times over New Years week and two of three had seat belts in the back row. I asked to have a back row with seat belts for my small children who can just get on and the seat belts keep them from flying around. When I asked they put us to the side till the car that had it came up for boarding.

hey everyone! this is my 1st post!:wave:
i think it is always the same elevator that has trouble (if im not mistaken, the 1 to the very left) because the last time i was there, we were with another family and not only did our family get stuck on it, but they did as well on the same elevator.
as for the seatbelts, i didnt know about them getting new ones. Are all the seats supposed to get seatbelts? if so that would be really neat!

Heh...downtimes are an equal-opportunity demon. They don't play favorites, in my experience (except when it comes to those seatbelt vehicles, but that's another story).
Plans are in place to fit all of the backseats with belts, but the lapbars will probably be in place in the front 2 rows for a while. The seatbelt indicators on the vehicles are designed with a light for every seat in the vehicle, but that doesn't necessarily mean every seat will eventually have a belt.
