An unfortunate experience for me, was seeing someone on this board who thinks there is an A in the word EXPERIENCE. 
Sorry all, had to have a little fun with that one. :lol:
But for real, a bad experience for me was when we got stuck on RnRC, in the tunnel right before the exit. The vehicle kind of stopped abruptly, and the shoulder harness tightened on me and I had trouble breathing. We sat that way for a good 4-5 minutes. I had to take shallow breaths in order for it not to hurt and dig into my chest. Pretty frightening!!

In 1972 - about 6 months after the Magic Kingdom opened - my parents took us there. It's A Small World broke down. We were stuck inside for about 30 minutes. A very long 30 minutes. It was over 20 years before I was able to go on it again. Only because my kids dragged me on. Serious psychological damage

Now that could cause some serious life-long trauma.

Yes, I noticed that after I made my post. However he did correctly spell it when he was writing his post. But on the other hand, everwhere he used the word EXPERIENCE in his post, he spelled it with an A.Edeyore said:
Sorry bubbles, not trying to be mean, I'm sure you were typing in a hurry, or you were tired, or something (I hope:lookaroun).

No bad experiences with the mechanics of the rides . . . just with the rider!!
1. Even as an adult, the snow white ride scares the bee-g-bees (spelling?) out of me. My last ride was in 1998, I was 27. When you go in, see the queen looking in her mirror and she turns around -- watch out, I'm scared!
2. ToT. Yeah. I chickened out. I love roller coasters and other thrill rides but the thought of a falling elevator did me in. There was no line when I visited so we walked right in. Got all the way to top and started having heart palputations and severe sweats. I got to ride the chicken elevator out and was even afraid to get into that. The CM had to convince me that it was a "real" elevator and not part of the ride. (cheep, cheep, cheep, I'm a chicken!).

We were on UoE when it broke down. It was right at the end but, we had to remain seated for about a half hour while tech's who looked like Bob the builder ran all arround jiggling switches and playing with wires. I don't know why the wouldn't allow us to leave? But, it was a nice post-show.

The CM's had a good ol' laugh when they were in the ride, then we boarded, pity we didn't see her after the ride, i'm sure it would of been an amusing sight.. hehe :fork:

Stuck on Small World
They did NOT stop the music. I remember it like it was yesterday. I do get a bit crazy when I hear the tune....

We were stuck on ToT right before the elevator was to turn to the exit doors. A CM checked up on us three times and said it was the usuall computer problems. We actually got to glimpse some of the antiques that were around us, and able to see where the elevator cars went back in. After 20 some minutes it started working again, and took a different elevator back down to the ride load station for a complimentary ride.

We were all on BTM and as the train goes around the first turn then up the next hill. The one inside the cave and comes out the water fall type water mist thing. The train stoped. We sat for about 10 mins. we were in the 2nd seat int he first car. The very first seat was sitting right under the mist nozel which a CM had turned off when the train stoped. However, the nozel was still dripping on the guest in the front seat. so the CM took his cowboy hat off and held it upside down to catch the water over the guest heads. The ride started again and went all the way through. wehn we pulled into the station EVERYONE in the train was shouting "Go again! Go again!" so we got another ride, but once again it stoped in the same place. but only for a min or two, then it went around and up the next hill and stoped again. A CM came around and we all had to get out and walk back. It was cool to see the inside of BTM.
Sorry so long.
