Rides you always get stuck on

[The Magical Genie 123]

Disney World's rides break down from time to time. Some more than others (Splash, HM, CoP). But besides those 3, what's a ride at the World that you've gotten stuck on more than once or twice? For me it's Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. It seems to get randomly stuck a lot, but it's a real advantage, allowing you to get more points. So, what's a ride that you get stuck on a lot?

HM and Buzz have ride systems that require stoppage to allow physically challenged guests to board. They are not necessarily broke down.

We seem to have frequent stops on buzz which doesn't bother me if I get stuck in a spot where I can keep getting a lot of points. We used to always get stopped on test track too.

Besides those 3, I got stopped on BTMRR a few times

 

[AllyInWonderland]

Pooh. Almost always at the end of the ride.

That one tends to get stop to let wheelchairs on. Last time I was there, though, it was getting stuck pretty frequently. A CM told me it's due for a refurb next year.

Before Space Mountain got it's refurb several years back, I would walk up to it all the time and just say, "Down again?" And the CM's would act surprised like "Oh, it's never down!" PeopleMover stops a lot as well

Were actually the family that caused a ride to stop. On HM my sons light saber fell through the crack of the buggy door and on to the track, the ride stopped and as we realized what happened I could see the saber being passed from buggy to buggy until it got to my very upset son!!

Dinosaur, I think I've been on the ride when it has stopped 3 or 4 times. One of those times they turned the lights on and castmembers walked into the ride area to check something with the vehicles.

Seems like we always get stuck on Spaceship Earth. Once the ride took almost an hour. Also COP, but it was neat seeing Space Mountain lit up inside.

 

[Clowd Nyne]

Test track! Then the audio is all off for the rest of the ride through

 

[zurgandfriend]

It's a small world, we always get stuck on it and that song just stays in my head for hours.

 

[Marc Gil]

Wow this is a lengthy list for me (kind of):

MK- POTC, HM, IASW, Winnie the Pooh (the ending), Splash Mountain.

Epcot- Spaceship Earth, Grand Fiesta Tour.

DHS- None

AK- Primeval Whirl

 

[Fantasmic]

We always get stuck on the TTA! We got Evacuated off in 2009 and nearly evacuated the other week!

 

[SyracuseDisneyFan]

Haunted Mansion

There's a huge difference between "getting stuck" and "breaking down"

 

[Britt]

Splash Mountain! It's never a bad thing to be stuck on Splash though

Do the Haunted Mansion "stops to load/unload every disabled or ECV guest" count?

I know I've harped on this on other threads, but last time we spent over 20 minutes getting through the 7 or 8-minute ride at the Haunted Mansion, because we stopped 5 times for 2-3 minutes each time!!! I HATE what that does to the continuity of the attraction (and we tended to get stopped in transition zones, with nothing to look at and that "michevious spooks" announcement playing ad nauseum). I wish they'd "fix" it by loading all of the disabled/transfer-assisted folks at once every 8 minutes, or by designing a loading procedure for folks who need assistance that doesn't require them to shut the entire attraction down every 90 seconds. I'm sure the folks who need assistance in transferring would appreciate a ride with only 1-2 interruptions just as much as the rest of us.

I always get stuck on splash in the laughing place for what feels like forever, even though it's probably a time short of 5 minutes. Once evacuated off of Buzz, it was weird. I didn't like it. Once got stuck on TTA for what also felt like forever, this one actually was close to at least half an hour, it was alright though I didn't mind because we at least got stuck in the shade and got to sit for half an hour haha

ooooooo Yes, we got stopped on this one for 2-3 minutes and we were in that weird backwards laying down position for what seemed like forever! Not cool!

I've never been stuck because of a breakdown. [face_happydance]

The only times I've been on a stopped ride were because
a. Loading and unloading handicapped guests on an omnimover
b. Running too many boats (Splash, PotC, Small World)
c. The animals decide not to move out of the truck path on Kilimanjaro
