Splash Mountain evacuated 3/22

[Tim_4]

7DMT is going to have swinging cars, so will there be special considerations to keep the cars from swinging while they try to evac the cars if it stops in the middle? I have to believe there'll be a way to lock them into place so its safe to get in and out, otherwise even loading the cars in the station would be tricky.

They aren't freely-swinging. The swing is programmed.

My boyfriend and I got stuck a LOT on Splash Mountain when we rode it opening day, the first time around, but rode it again and it was fine.

Yikes! We've been stopped many times on Splash. I have never ridden the ride the entire way through w/o hearing "Brear Bear and Brear Fox must be up to..." Here's hoping they work those "bugs" out soon!

I heard the "Brer Bear/Brer Fox" announcement 3 times on one ride through. From what I've heard, that recording is used whenever some idiot tried to stand up or get out of their log. This is one of the reasons why lap bars were installed.

better to be evacuated than the time I went on a roller coaster at a shopping mall and the lap bar didnt work , they saw me stand up ( It went round twice. stopping at the station mid way) still sent me round again then when I got off put a " do not use" sign on my seat.

You know with 42 trips averaging about 10 days per trip and a month spent in Disney out of the year and I've NEVER been evacuated off a ride at WDW? I went to Disneyland once and got evacuated off of Pinocchio. It was cool; we got to walk through the entire ride. And we were allowed to jump to the front of the line later. I would love to be evacuated off one of the coasters or the water rides just for the heck of it. Maybe when I go back to Disneyland in June...

Come to think of it I've only been evacuated off of two rides.... BTMR at the former rock shaking lift-hill and on Test Track 1.0 right as you are coming to the station... my luck would have been nice to breakdown near the middle of the ride... out of the hundreds of times I've been there I can't believe I've only been evacuated off of two rides.

You know how you can tell a TRUE Disney fan? If they actually like being evacuated from a ride. LOL.

Thats cool just as long you were not evacuated because your car got stuck in the loop section of the coaster. That would suck.

Thankfully we did not get stuck upside down

I anticipate that they will be somewhat free swinging. I also suspect that they can be located in certain locations (like Primeval Whirl). The concept ride throughs and mock vehicles all suggest that they will be free swinging.
