My husband and I waited in line for Toy Story Mania as our last ride one evening near park closing time. We'd been lucky and had very short waits or fast passes for everything that day, so were willing to wait ~40 minutes. Got on the ride and just as we came to the first screen, where you practice your shooting, the ride stopped. We sat a while, then maintenance came around looking at the cars and finally we started again. However, we moved only to the first shooting screen and again came to a full stop. The only good thing was that for maybe 3 minutes we got to shoot and play the game. Then it was shut down completely (luckily before the music made us crazy) and more waiting, then maintenance determined our car was the problem. The lights came up and everyone was evac'd out. Our total "stuck" time was about 45 minutes.
I thought the CMs who handled the evac were very professional, but as we were escorted out a woman behind us with her ~4-year-old son was mocking them for pointing out oil-slick tracks on the floor and that we should not cross a particular line as we walked out. "Oh yes, safety first is sooo important." she said loudly in an ugly tone. She also asked loudly, "Are you going to do something to make up for this?" and the CM said, "Yes, you'll be taken care of at the exit." But the woman was too stupid to actually listen to the response so she kept muttering about how she expected them to do something to "make up for" the situation. Of course we were given fast passes at the exit, but I thought regarding the woman What a great role model for a kid!
Since we got on the ride close to park closing time and then were stuck so long, we ambled slowly toward the main exit through the very quiet and dark DS. We were probably the last group off the ride so the park was really empty. Got some neat night shots and enjoyed having the place "all to ourselves". The lucky thing was we had another day at DS so got to use our fast passes and had almost no wait the next day.
