The Cm on ST said it was going down in Aug and reopening in May. I love that ride, but had a horrible experience on it last week. My hubby and I were riding in vehicle #2 when we felt a bad jerk and the ride quit moving. The Andriod was still driving and we had no video, but we still had audio. The ride ended and the seatbelt came unlocked, but the doors to the ride vehicle never opened. We sat there for a few minutes before the ride told us to put our seat belts back on as if the ride was going to restart. There was people freaking out about feeling claustrophobic and needing to get out of there, and we have not heard anything from a cm at all. My hubs opened the emergency exit latch on the ride vehicle door to let everyone out, but we were still stuck at the automatic doors and couldn't open them. This little girl was freaking out and banging on the door yelling help us help us, but still nothing from a cm. We waited about 15 minutes for a manager to come unlock the door to let us out. Up until then, no one even came over the intercom on the ride and acknowledged us. They cleared the queue line in front of all the simulator doors before they let us out. If there had been a fire, we would have been trapped. The only way out was a ladder near an exit door one story down, and the only way to get it would be for someone to jump down to it. We were really surprised at the response time of the Disney CM's and how they handled the situation.
I dont think its true but it would surely stink.
