The only time I've ever been stuck on a ride is on Splash Mountain, I forget exactly in what part of the ride we were stuck on, but we were outside. It was only for about 15 minutes though, no evacuations or anything.

I've gotten stuck on Splash and got to walk behind the scenes. Pretty cool.

I also got stuck on Indiana Jones at DL. That was very cool! All the lights came on and we got to walk the track.
 
I was stuck in Haunted Mansion (no suprise) for about 15 minutes in Madame Leota's Room in the circle and I was with my singing group at Magic Music Days and we started yelling to each other even though we couldnt see each other. People werent very happy with us but oh well. We enjoyed it.

Was stuck on HM for about 10-15 mminutes in the Dining Hall area.It was fun to sit there and see the same scene over and over and .....

Also got stuck last Jan. on POTC first was at the scene where Davy Jones is in the Waterfall.We were there about 10 minutes then later on we stopped again.They told us we had way to may adults on the ride as there was about 20 adults so they had us put our hands in the air and sway back and forth to start to move again.Note to all who go in major groups of adults make sure there are alot of light weights on board or you will get stuck:eek:

The last one I remember getting stuck on was UoE.We were anbout a third of the way thru the Dinosaur part of the ride when our machine broke down.About 10 minutes later the engineers came out and tried to get it moving but couldnt.Our tram was only one broke down.The engineer opened the compartment on back of ride and drove us in manually.

Potc

It was at least 10-12 years ago that hubby and I got stuck on Pirates (POTC) it was just before the drop and no matter what they tried our boat and the one in front of us just would not budge. Finaaly they turned all the lights on and escorted us off the boat onto one of the little "land" area's . We walked throught the hallways behind the ride and it let us out in the back of the ride behind a gated section. It was pretty interesting to get off the ride when it was completely lit up.

I thought I was the only one this happened to on POTC. My adventure was in 2000. We sat for about 20 minutes before they came to get us. It was after the drop, so they pushed us to the side and we climbed out. I was in trouble because I had the camcorder going and they told me to put it away. Yeah right. This was too funny. We watch the video years later and still laugh at it. And we too were let out in the back of the ride. What an interesting adventure. There was paint on the sidewalks, not something you are used to seeing in Disney - but being it's off limits to the public, it doesn't matter. But it was just funny to experience!

I have also been walked off Test Track, but that appears to happen to quite a bit of people, so it must be a frequest occurance.

SSE doesn't really "break down" asoften as this string of post indicates, it's the loading of the handicap people that sometimes stops it for 5 minutes at a clip. We have traveled with someone in a chair and when they load her, the ride actually comes to a complete stop until she is out of the chair and safely in the seat.

first time i ever went on Mission: Space. I was with my 3 cousins, and it was near the end of the ride. My cousin Maggie didn't push a button... so we thought we "died" because of the lack of button pushing. But then we were stuck in there for about 30 minutes sooo... we figured out it broke down.

also several times on buzz, best ride to get stuck on because you can rack up points. We've been on splash a few times where "Brer Fox and Brer Bear have been naughty" or something like that.

And last, but not least... 45 minutes whilst on... It's a small world. It was really nice with a baby in the boat with us.. screaming and crying. :p

Just wondering whether anyone here has a story about (good one) having the ride you were on stop for whatever reason and what happened. We got stuck at the bottom of splash before the last drop, and had to be walked off through the happy place and out behind the attraction. And on test track we stopped right in between the hot and cold room. Which is where I found a hidden mickey.

We had the exact same thing happen on Splash. We had about 5 or 6 logs piled up at the bottom before going up for the last drop. We sat for about 20 minutes and then were lead out through the back. I have been on rides that have been slow and stopped for a few extra seconds, like SSE & HM, but that was the only time I had to be walked out before the ride was over.

Got stuck on Buzz - haven't we all :confused:

Twice, in the same spot!

"Guards! Seize Them! And their little green friends too!"

That gets old very fast! Once we were there for 5 minutes, then the walkway gates came up, CMs walked through the whole ride (Zurg continued yelling),
then about 5 minutes it started up again and the whole system reset...
we lost all our points!

test track numerous times - we complained once and got sent back on the ride straight to thge front

splash mountain a few times

worst was thunder mountain, it was night time i had been in a wheelchair for that day, so we was in the 2nd and 3rd cart from the front, my friend was with us who never rode it before, then at that really high climb it stopped, rolled back a bit then stopped completely.

we could see the other train far below us, and i remembered that awful crash at california so started explaining what happened and accidnelt freaked out the woman behind me

the loudspeaker came on and we was told to "remain in the vehicles" we were there for maybe 10 minutes beofre some CM came up, we all had to climb awkwardly out of the train which was surprisingly high up! my family told the CM i had been in the wheelchair and they was going to lift me out but i had pulled a rib muscle so i did manage.

we got walked down the stairs which were really shallow and slightly damp, went under all the ride and was reminded not take pictures

when we got out we was given a ticket like a fastpass for either splash mountain or thunder mountain for the next day but alas! we were leaving the next day

anyway i loved it all and thought it was great!

sorry so long

It really is funny how the "things", (phrases, scenes, etc.) we often look forward to and enjoy, can become really, really, really annoying after 20 or 30 time in a row. :lol:

Let's see.... the best was getting stopped on Buzz Lightyear in one of the big rooms. The car stopped its forward motion- but still turned 360 and the shooting function worked. Boy, did I rack up some major points on that round! It was my best score ever!


Worst- some idiot teenager "was missing" (read - jumped out) of his car on the Wedway (TTA). They originally stopped it to search for him. When they couldn't find him- we all had to disembark and walk the entire track back to the the unloading station. We were about halfway there- no shortcuts on that ride!

I would honestly have a panic attack if I was stuck in that little chamber for that long... I can just barely handle the 5 minutes I'm in there as is!! :eek:

We got stuck on Splash after the big drop.
We had to listen to "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" about 100 times! :eek:

We also got stuck sitting backwards in the attic on The Haunted Mansion.
 
Once at night, we got stopped on BTM railroad in the dark cave. We got to see a lot of interesting things. The train was stuck for about 15 minutes before we were escorted out and walked alongside the tracks out to the loading area.

I got stuck once in The Great Movie Ride in the Munchkin scene. The witch had disappeared in her puff of smoke, and the munchkins sang their yellow brick road song, and we didn't move. We sat there until the munchkins finished their song and then went to hide away in their homes. And all was quiet....

That was creepy, sitting in that munchkin village, knowing they are watching you. Waiting....

I was stuck on HM in the graveyard scene. The audio turned off, but the animatronics kept going. The only thing you could hear was compressed air and machine parts.
 
On our last visit, its not a ride exactly, but we were stuck in a non moving monorail for longer than usual as you approach the Contemp. We think a Monorail train got stuck loading along the line somewhere. It was at least 15 minutes. Later that day when we were leaving we waited forever for a Monorail. luckily it wasnt closing time. One train when whizzing by empty at one point.
