Hello Everybody, Just wondering your experience & insight to most common ride breakdowns & malfunctions in IOA/UStudios??? Seems like maybe Spiderman with effects not working or sound out of sync? Any and all ride past experiences much appreciated!!! Any rhyme or reason in regards to time of day and crowd volume related or is it just luck of the draw? Thanks everybody!!!! :wave2:
 
I've been to IOA/US 11 times and only two rides have "malfunctioned". The first was The Hulk. It was shut down for about an hour then was back up & running. The second was Ripsaw Falls. It kept being shut down for 15-30 minutes at a time but was up & running smoothly for the last 4 hours of the day. In both cases I wasn't sure why the ride was being shut down. The wait times for both rides was around 30-40 minutes at the time they were shut down. Oh yeah, then of course there are the rides that are shut down when it starts storming...but I don't think that counts. :)
 
When i was on revenge of the mummy jan. 14-17 on my 3rd day the mummy wouldnt come out of his tomb and a face was just projected on the sarcofagus. Also on jaws on 1 ride in the boathouse the boat was stuck so jaws woodnt come out and the flames didnt work on the gas station(but that was just 1 ride)
 

Spiderman malfunctioned during our last trip, we were allowed to ride again without having to wait in line again but it malfunctioned again unfortunately! :guilty:
 
MIB broke down on me :( We were in there for about 25 minutes, stuck. Where the big bug eats you, and burps. Imagine hearing that burp about 5 or so times.. Thank god we didn't get stuck where they do the white flash to "make you forget" .. Of course they just sent the cars back out and then it was going again operational.
 
Dueling Dragons malfunctioned on us. First one track, then the other. We were in line FOREVER...at least it seemed like forever. The both tracks were up and running in about 45 minutes.
 
I'ne Been To Oniversal And Islands Of Adventure 4 Times Since June And I Have Never Had To Endure A Ride In Working Properly, Maybe I Have Just Been Lucky, The Only Compaint I Have W/ Islands Of Adventure Was The Character Breakfast, Had A Bad Experience And Food Was Lousy And The Characters Name Came By Or Table Or Near Us And I Had Rsvp Because It Was My Daughters 7th Birthday, I Assumed That The Characters Would Have At Least Stopped By Our Table After Spending $80.00 On Breakfast (not Including Tip).
 
There's no rhyme or reason to breakdowns.

JRPA - Boat stuck at the bottom of the lift for about 10 minutes before it started up again. Sound effects going up the lift and under the giant raptor were off. Kinda weird going thru this with no sound.

Spiderman - Ride was out of sync with projectors. Screens would go blank as the car passed into each zone.

Also rode the Mummy where he wouldn't come out of his tomb and they just project a picture of it. I have that one on video. Scroll down here if you want to see it.
