Pirates Evac'd / Pirates Merch Closed / RCFD responding

[wild01ride]

Not sure of details at this point, but we were about one boat away from boarding POTC when we were hastily told to turn around and exit the way we came. In actuality, when we turned around, they sent us out the closest exit rather than snaking through the line.

After exiting, they were clearly preparing access for some type of rescue personnel.
Minutes later, the store was closed down as well.

We saw someone from RCFD enter from the main walkway, but we haven't seen anyone else.

Lots of Cast/Managers surrounding the attraction now.

Hopefully someone can provide more info!

Wow... Medical emergency ? Keep us updated pls!

 

[HMF]

So, does this mean we get the original attraction back?

No doubt! LOL!

Oh dear, really anxious to know what happened :/ First thing that conmes to mind is someone has fallen out of the boat during the drop and has been crushed by a oncoming boat.. But that's just me being morbid. I strongly hope this is not the case.

There is no way to fall out of boat during the drop - or at any other part of the ride - unless you're acting like a pretty serious [insert another word for "idiot" here].

The problem is, if this is indeed what has happened, we will soon see lap bars on Pirates.

Probably a seizure/heart attack/stroke

Hope this is the case

What an odd thing to say.

 

[pheneix]

Wow. Morbid crowd on here hoping for a calamity to only befall on one person instead of the entire ride.

Hope everyone there is safe and this is just the typical RCFD 911 response. Bear in mind that if POTC had a full ride stop RCFD basically has to assist in certain evac situations.

According to Disney, the ride is operating again, with a 40 minute wait.

Oh dear I quoted the wrong bit! I was suppose to quote-

What I originally put sounded really horrible! Sorry if I offended anyone with my mistake!

Maybe the mermaid's claimed someone so now they will have to be taken out....no?........damn.

Thanks for the reminder!

Most likely means that the ride went down and needed Reedy Creek to get to the boat that had a mobility-impaired guest. I'm guessing they needed the store/queue area as proper entry/exit points. I don't know whether or not that's the case there, but I do know BTMRR has entry points into the ride path from the queue area, so I'm guessing that is most likely the case.

I heavily doubt it was something serious, especially if it reopened later on in the day. Swarms of managers come in usually come during an all-hands on deck situation, even if some go and look busy while just being plain nosy.

How about this, Nutcase, dummy? Does that help?
