Which Dark Ride Would You Prefer To Be Evacuated From?

[Soarin2u]

If you got stuck in one of Disney's classic dark rides and had to leave the vehicle, which one would it be? Why do you want to have a quick walk through on that attraction and, at which part? Tell me your ideal 'Evacuation trip.'
You can choose a ride that your family makes you go on but, it is one that you despise so much that an evacuation would be a life saver. You can choose a favorite scene that you'd love to get closer into the action. Even choose one that'd you'd love to see the engineering and magic behind it! If you never want to be evacuated tell us why! Last but not least, which ride would you hate to vacate?

I'd love to leave the Pirates of the Caribbean ride during any of town scenes, mostly the one with fire. I choose that scene because it is to me one of the funnier scenes and I'd love to see what effects go into it!

The ride I'd hate to evacuate would be Soarin. That is the most magical ride in all of Disney to me, and leaving it would ruin it for me! I also question how'd they'd get us out, if we get stuck up high, would they need a latter for it? If so, that makes it sound even less appealing.

DHS Tower of Terror and I would like to be evacuated after the elevator starts to move forward. I would just like to see the engineering behind it.

I've always wondered how an evac from Peter Pan's flight would happen.

I prefer not to get evacuated from anything that means something is wrong lol.

I would like to be evacuated off of Pirates of the Caribbean during the auction scene, even though animatronics up close freak me out XD

It would be neat to be evacuated from POTC, Splash, or TOT. I'd hate to be evacuated from Rock n Roller Coaster.

@Soarin2u, I believe I read somewhere that the scene with the "fire" is the only scene in POTC that doesn't have a direct exit (you'd have to paddle the boat to the next scene to get out), although that might have changed since the source was from the 1990s.

Haunted Mansion
Splash Mountain
Pirates
Space Mountain
Carousel of Progress after they wake me up.

Me personally I would say Spaceship Earth or Haunted Mansion. The one that would be odd would be Soarin'. Just imagine being up in the air for some time.

 

[jw24]

I wouldn't want to be evacuated in normal situations but I'll go with Spaceship Earth. It would be interesting to see how the evacuation process goes.

I'd like to get evacuated from IASW so far it's the only evacuation proven that can net you 8 thousand bucks for another Disney world trip, assuming you would be the kind of person to sue for being on the ride for a Half hour. and can live with saying it caused you stress and ailments you still have yet to recover from.

actually scratch that, my dignity is worth a least 8500! my new pick is now dinosaur. I'd love to argue with a cast member.

"sir in sorry we need you to follow me to this exit"

"WHAT!? are you out of your mind man!? we have to stay in the time rover, dude a meteor is coming we gotta get ourselves back to 2013!!"

I would LOVE to be evacuated from Haunted Mansion and tower of terror my family forces me to go on these rides and I HATE them, sorry HM and ToT fans. I would hate being evacuated from space, thunder, and splash mountain because they are some of my favorite rides with some of the longest lines. Imagine waiting 2 hours for splash mountain and then being evacuated. I would like to be evacuated from ToT ( not for any bad reasons) to see a. the engineering and b. Since I am 13 my dad is always trying to get me on that ride so if I said yes, went on, and right after that creepy video we had to be evacuated.

Those animatronics creep me out a little too much... and a lot too much also those big characters just randomly walking around the park have scared me since 2

Haunted Mansion - around the graveyard.

like uncanny valley creeps?

CNN actually was just running an article about uncanny dip issues with prosthetics where they are basicly at that cliff now and as a result it makes everyone a bit more uneasy.

they also highlighted viktoria modesta. she's apparently a singer and her prosthetic leg tends to be on the extreme side and basicly functional art, it was being discussed how it's easier for her and others to not deal with the awkwardness of looking "almost real" it also mentioned how it actually was even better for some because those around these more artistic devices aren't as nervous. people are less afraid of it and them and in the end tend to compliment the peices.

I realize thats a huge leap coming from pirates in Disney but for many, its in a way the same issue. it's an interesting problem to navigate around in things from prosthetic devices to even things like rides and video games. it's got to be hard
for imagineers to find a combination of exaggerations to keep things clear of this. I know for game designers it's like torture.

(viktoria is probably the only woman who could say guys love her legs...... all 47 of them)

Splash or HM. SSE might be cool too.

 

[PUSH]

SSE or HM. Splash and PotC would be neat, too.

On my most recent trip in March we were riding pirates during EMH and were evacuated at about 1am from the room with the guy on the bridge with the dirty foot hanging down... Cm's had to put on rubber waders and hop in the water to push the boats back to a spot next to the set so we could get out. We were ushered through a door and through backstage until we were outside... Cm's were there the whole time making sure no one was taking pictures. It was about a 5 minute walk around the outside of the building, backstage, until we were back in the park.... It was a super fun experience and I'm pretty glad it happened lol!

haha oh man, you should have started talking to him in character as he got in the water to push. "put yer back into it ya scurrvy seadawg!"
or in something that won't make him want to slug ya
"I always thought you guys would have sea turtles for just such an occasion. "

It doesn't always mean that. For example, Space Mountain will e-stop if a train is held for over 30 seconds because it runs out of room in the final holding brake run.
