Do you know what happens if they overload the Pirates of the Caribbean boat...

[SuiteDisney]

...with about 10 200 lb. + people???

Well, first the boat bumps and scrapes the sides. Then it sort of drags along the bottom. Oh, and it sort of tips to one side. Then it stops and they have to make an announcement that the ride has stopped temporarily. Then a CM has to find the stopped boat and have everyone rock back and forth until it unsticks.

Groosch!! That sounds....Magical!!!

 

[TinkerPixie]

LOL!

 

[browneyes]

So, these 10 people can officially say they rocked the boat at WDW.

Hey Laura.

 

[BarryHom]

Now what happens if you overload a IASW boat?

 

[JasonLyons]

i always wondered what was going on when they made that anouncment

 

[Towncrier]

I know what happens if you overload a boat at the Maelstrom in Norway.

The boats really do drag the bottom, don't they.

 

[CaliforniaDreaming]

Oh, my! What an experience!

 

[Barb]

I hope I never have that experience, Laura!
ROTFL, John!

 

[Jeff in BigD]

Arrrrgh! It sounds like ye scurvey lubbers were heading straight to Davey Jones' locker!

 

[catsrule]

Do you know what happens when the ride breaks down and all the lights go off for 10 minutes, and then the lights finally come back on?

Roaches and waterbugs go scurrying everywhere....I know from personnal experience......

 

[zurgswife]

LOL!!!

You make me smile

 

[Pooh93]

Roaches and waterbugs go scurrying everywhere

Ewwwww...somehow that's not the magic I dream about!

 

[imgoingtodisney]

hey thanks for that bit of news - yuck

 

[abaldacci]

those things happen to me i will freak out

 

[Taryn]

John,

Thanks for the giggle... I was thinking the exact same thing...

*trying to think of ways we can get into trouble in December*

 

[Kermit]

I thought that getting stuck in a boat didn't sound like too much, but I think I'd prefer that to the roaches! I know there's no way to prevent them in Florida, but I'd rather not see them.

 

[DocRafiki]

Hmm... and I got in trouble for rocking the boat at Splash Mtn!

overhead announcement:
"Please refrain from rocking the boat!"
