I must have been on Haunted Mansion with Jim,england. We really got tired on hearing the scream when the guys head popped up. Then my son decided to scream along with it continuously. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Jim,england - Were you there in November? Maybe it was my son you heard, too.:o

Has anyone ever been stuck in tot?!?

I've gotten stuck once on the Haunted mansion. It was right in front of lady zioda. I was only stuck there for about 10 minutes but it was still boring. I want to find someone who got stuck in tot, if anyone has reply. I once got stalled in it going up, it stalled for about 30 seconds probably just from being over capacitated.d :D

My fiancee got stuck in ToT in the part where they show the photo they used to take of you early in the ride (with the eyeball). They had to turn on the lights and take them out down some stairs. She said the floors in that area are clear so the room appears to be bigger than it is.

I've been stuck on Small World a few times - I never swam for shore, but the thought did occur to me. I got stuck once on Spaceship Earth when they had to turn all the lights on...what a disillusionment!

When I went for mardi gras it was seriously the attack of the "get stuck in rides" monster! lol:lol: hmm...let's see....I got stuck on Splash Mountain several times during the week....and it wasn't in one particular spot...it was stop and then start again and then stop and start...etc....& I got stuck on Test Track (well, not exactly stuck....but we were going like 2 miles per hour around the hair pin turns when you are supposed to be picking up speed..lol)....I also got stuck on Tower of Terror....as much as I love that ride, I was sooooooo scared! lol

I realize this is an old topic, but that incident on Titan was just something the media overhyped because at the time there was absolutely nothing to report. Rollercoasters get stopped on lift hills all the time, almost daily. Its a safety feature, actually. Every coaster today is controlled by computers that determine where each train is on the track. The track is divided into "zones." No more than 1 train can be in a zone at one time, and to prevent this, you may get stopped on the lift, or in a brake section somewhere on the ride. On Titan, they just couldn't get the lift started again.


Ok, now that I said that, here are the rides I've been stuck on

Splash Mountain - before Laughing Place drop - 5 minutes. The lift before the final drop - 25 minutes. They had to turn the lights on and stop the music that time. It was uncomfortable facing upwards for that long, and for half of that time we had to hear the vultures repeat themselves over and over.

Big Thunder Mountain - On the outdoor lift - 5 minutes, no big deal

Pirates - By the prisoners & dog - about 10 minutes

Haunted Mansion: Ballroom scene, in the knocking door hallway, and right in front of a tombstone with a head that pops out, which was annoying to watch and hear for 10 minutes.

Buzz Lightyear - 5 minutes, in a spot with no targets (just my luck)

TTA - not really 'stuck', but we rode through Space Mountain when its lights were on, and the cars were stopped on the lift.

Horizons - Right at the very start, for about 30 minutes, then another 10 by the classroom scene. "Don't even Seahorse around!"

Dinosaur - Right after "They're not gonna make it!" for about 15 minutes.

Spiderman: the ride basically had a meltdown. The entire ride shut down, all the lights went off, and all the cars stopped moving. We sat in darkness and silence for 10 minutes, then finally some of the effects turned back on and our car started moving again. Unfortunately, none of the screens worked for the rest of the ride, or the sound in our car.

Heading for the great escape.
May be Ive been on the rides at the same time as some of you. But ones that I can remember;
Its a Small World, right at the end.
Spaceship Earth, near the top when it was like an oven,
Splash Mountain, just after the drop,where you get splashed we were there so long we got soaked.
Chair Lift at BB my 3 kids were in the chair in front and the eldest one had a panic attack when her two younger sisters bounced the chair.

Too many have stopped to remember them all.
I remember being on PotC when it stopped for about 10 minutes when you pass the pirate ship. Those guys with the cannon are pathetic. We were sitting ducks for ten minutes and they couldn't hit the pirates or us.
Spaceship Earth stopped, many times, but the worst was when we were on the descent and had to wait 5 minutes sitting back/lying on the seat - very uncomfortable.
I can remember Haunted Mansion stopping also, and Buzz Lightyear (I just pointed my gun at a high scoring target and kept firing).
The only ride I've had to get up and leave was Ellen's Energy Adventure, which ironically seemed to be having some energy problems. This also happened at Cat in the Hat (kind of relevant) and we got passes to any ride at IoA.
Countdown to Extinction (as it was at the time) broke down twice as I was about to get on it so we got passes to get straight on after complaining.

My worst stuck experience was on the Universe of Enery. My wife and I do not like this ride but we hadn't been on it for a few years and it was hot so we decided to go on it. We were in the first row - first car. We were entering the dinosur room when the car just stopped. The was an announcment made that the ride was having technecial problems and the ride should be operating momentarlly. We waited 30 minutes in the smelly dinosur room until a cast member showed up. She was making us laugh and taking pictures of us if we wanted to. Then the Disney engineers showed up and made the cars go in reverse mannually. They had to drive each car one-by-one. Becuase the floor is so slippery and we were two feet off the ground, they could not open the doors and let us walk out. This took about another 30 minutes and because we were the first car in...we were the last one in reverse. The only cool thing about the experience was the car we were in got a "Go to the Front of the Line" Card. We used the card for Test Track.

i've never really been stuck for a long period of time on a ride. one time on the mansion though my brother, sister and i were stopped for about 5 minutes in the hallway with the eye following paintings. i remember this because the whole time we were pointing and cracking up at the fact that someone decided to dispose of their 20oz. coke bottle right there. it was great. "The ghosts seem to prefer coke over pepsi too!" (yes i know disney only sells coke in the parks but i couldn't resist)
 
I've been stuck on the HM going down backwards, and once on the TTA the ride stopped because some idiot jumped off the ride, and literally off the track back onto the ground. A bunch of personell were running along the side, and then we continued going through SM where the light were on. I saw the whole track. :)

Ok this might not count as being stuck on a ride, but when my family went to WDW (i think it was in 1999) the new Rockin' RollerCoaster was opening. It wasn't officially opened yet so anyways, Each time we went on it something was wrong. One time all the lights were on and just the music played, another time the music wasn't playing and it was saying something very annoying but i cannot remember. And another time nothing was working the lights or the sounds!! It was kinda neat b/c we got to see what it really looks like!!
