RNRC launch abort

[twilight mitsuk]

Ever had a launch abort on Rock'N'Roller coaster?

Nope.

I'm sure there has been at least once since it opened. But me personally? No. And I don't see how it'd be all that exciting...no backstage area you'd get to see or anything.

I would think they would just say to get out of the car and show you the exit. Now if you had a post launch stop that might be different.

It happens daily because people attempt to pull out their cameras right before the launch and such. It's happened to me a few times. You will hear the music continue as if you launched, but the train does not move. After a few seconds, the music cuts out, a CM walks over to the train and tells the person to put their camera away or whatever the situation was, walks back, and you hear the launch countdown again and continue as normal.

do they push a button or something to cause the abort?

One of many reasons

I just now realized watching that video that a phenomenon exists...most people waddle at Disney! I am sure none (or very few) of us do this in our normal day to day lives but now in thinking back in my mind I see it in every single queue. The pronounced shifting of weight from one foot to the other with an associated lean not unlike penguins walking. Nothing much to add to the OP...just an observation.

You can take it on. You just can't use it.

Weird. I've filmed a front row POV of the ride, guess they didn't notice

It's almost exclusively the one ride you aren't supposed to have a camera out for.

Me...I'm guilty. Yeah it happened to me too. I wanted to get a few shots of the countdown screen before launch, so as it began I started clicking off some shots. Then a CM walked over and asked me to stash the camera away cause the ride wouldnt start until I did. Sheepishly I put the camera away. Delayed the ride for only a few seconds. ( But I did get some good pics ) Not going to happen again... I promise.
