How about how many times a day do they evacuate people off rides? - The DIS Discussion Forums

It seems every time I go to Disneyland the rides break down

.

Out of curiosity, about how many times a day do they evacuate people off rides?

Sorry

I've never been evacuated from a ride. When I went in April HM stalled for a few minutes, but they kept the lights off and we stayed on. When I went a few days ago Buzz Lightyear stalled for about a minute but they didn't turn the lights on or anything for that either.

I've never had to be evacuated off a ride. I have been in the Matterhorn line when they have stopped letting guest on it though.

DangerMouse · 09-27-2009, 12:35 PM

I don't think that's something you can calculate or even estimate. Rides are mechanical, they will from time to time have issues and stop working. Luckily, there are plenty of other rides to choose from if one or two happen to be down.

The only ride I have been evacuated from is Pinocchio.

We have been numerous times and only had to evacuate Pooh once!

I've gotten stuck on a bunch of rides but only ever had to evacuate Pooh.

sidenote: I have never gotten stuck on a ride at DLR, or had one breakdown/stall.

I have got stuck and have to evacuate different rides.

The last one I got stuck on was on btmrr last month and we evacuated on the 2nd chain lift. But the great thing about it is that I got to see the backstage of the ride.

Been evacuated from a couple of rides, Space Mountain and at the top of Splash Mountain (that was cool!). I took pics at the top!

Mugglemama · 09-27-2009, 01:42 PM

out of more than 100 trips to DLR in the past 8 years, we've been stuck on one ride (alice), and my DH and kids were evacuated from another (splash).

there have been, however, several times that rides broke down while we were in line. probably half a dozen or so.

but i guess when you compare that to the amount of times we've been there, it really doesn't add up to much. i have noticed in the last year though, that people on the disboards have mentioned ride breakdowns a LOT. the last time we were there was exactly one year ago, and i think space broke down just as my family was getting in line on one of the days. but i think that was it.

Same thing happens to me. Out of about 150 visits I only got evacuated from Splash once. I would say about 20 rides broke while I'm in line.

disneyfaninaz · 09-27-2009, 03:36 PM

Over 40 trips to DL and never have had to evacuate a ride. Rides have stopped, but started again very quickly.

Some of the rides at DL are over 50 years old and others are very technical in nature, so breakdowns are expected, but I don't think that rides get evacuated every day at DL.

bumbershoot · 09-27-2009, 04:12 PM

Note to self: do not go when the OP is going

We've been evacuated from Roger Rabbit and Monsters. RR was so annoying b/c we were *right there* at the doors to the unload platform, but we were the LAST walked out. And there was a man behind us who was yelling at and hitting his little girl, who was rightfully freaked out (they didn't turn off the music! it's loud!) and wanted to be in the vehicle with her mom, who was in the car behind them. She was freaked out, and his hitting and yelling caused my son to be freaked out...sigh.

Monsters...we were in the heart of the ride, so that walk-out was cool.

But there were some jerky fellow guests who decided to touch and poke everything, including Sully holding Boo...it was very rude.

ballarinamom · 09-27-2009, 05:55 PM

I've never been evacuated. But DH was at the park late while I was at the hotel with DD. We had to evacuate Splash around Midnight. HE LOVED IT!! It was right at the showboat part and her loved seeing the animatronics working with out singing and goind "backstage". He also got front of the line passes

DLR29 · 09-27-2009, 07:22 PM

I've never been evacuated in all of my DLR visits. But on my last one we were about to board Space when the lights went on. I wish we had been a couple rockets ahead and seen the mountain with the lights on.
