Funny things that happened on rides..

[TinkerTracy]

One time while riding Splash Mountain towards the end when Brair Rabbit is sitting back in his Brair patch (I hope you understand where I am talking about), there where these two guys riding in our log and our log stopped momentairaly and they got impatient and actually got out of the log! They then walked along the 'grass' and towards where the wooden signs are that say 'it's the truth...it's factual....everything is satifactional' then they must have tripped a wire and a red flashing light went off and some people came and took them away.
Welcome to Disney's WHAT WHERE THEY THINKING?

OH MY!

Astro Orbitor - My husband and I decide after years of visiting that we should try this. My husband is 6'4" - 275lbs, I am 5'2" - none of your d___ business -LOL. Anyway, he gets in first and I get in front between his legs, and all I can say is that we are WEDGED!!!! Well - we can't get to the seat belt and the ride won't start, and finally after all of the struggling, the CM says "Oh well, just hold on to her, you should be fine". I don't even remember the actual ride, because we were laughing so hard I almost wet my pants and the tears were flowing down my face - part pain, part funny!!! It took us forever to get out of the car - quite the embarassment - quite the memory

My dad went on Dumbo the Flying Elephant. While all the little kids are laughing, you hear him screaming, "PUT IT DOWN, NOW!! PUT IT DOWN, NOW!!" over and over again.

While my brother, dad, and I was on Splash Mountain, the thing about the ride stopping momentarily came on twice, but we never stopped.

I was on the Haunted Mansion with my mom, when we stopped in front of the self-playing piano and the creepy window. All of a sudden my mom shouts out, "Look, it's a squirrel! Oh, wait, never mind."

My brother and I went on Astro Orbiters, and my brother told the CM that there was only one buckle, and she said in a funny tone, "There is only supposed to be one buckle."

In the Stretching Room in the Haunted Mansion, when it gets dark all of a sudden, I saw flashing lights. I turned to look and it was a little girl wearing one of those flashy necklaces. Everyone started laughing. Then, out of no where, a girl screams really loud, right before the lights came back on. The CM was trying so hard not to laugh.

On our Expedition Everest photo, my mom is laughing, I'm screaming, my brother's got his hand over his face, and all you can see of my dad is the back of his neck.

My mom, dad, older brother and I were all standing in line for IASW. Now, we aren't fat, but we aren't small people. Both my dad and brother are a couple inches over 6 feet. Me and my mom are about 5'9". So there's 3 full sized adults, and one 16 year old (me!). We tell the CM 4 people, thinking we'll be divided 2 & 2, like we usually do. But no, this CM decided to put ALL of us into the first row of those boats, which is the smallest row too! So me and my brother were practically hanging over the edge, and my parents were almost sitting on eachother's laps. Our boat was holding everyone else up, since the front end was almost dragging against the bottom. Looking back, it was a good laugh and we always joke about it, and when we go down together again, we'll divide ourselves up, and tell the CM 2 people. That way, we won't have another IASW incident!

Thank you for the laugh. All I can see is a boat where the front it dragging the bottom and the back in out of the water.

One time when DH and I were on Dumbo DH decided to keep going up and down with the switch really fast. Weeeeeellllll Dumbo stopped going up and we spent the entire ride going around the bottom. Felt like idiots. The next time we rode I made him get his own Dumbo. Now when we rides he begs me to let him ride MY Dumbo with me and he pledges not to touch the controls.

I lied to my Mom. As we passed Splash Mtn., she asked if that was the ride we were going on. "Oh, no!" I said. "It's too scary." Once we reached the big drop she became quite scared and called me names a mother should never call her daughter all the way down! I about peed my pants laughing at my joke.

These are just too funny! Mine's tame after this. DS about 12 at the time and I were riding Splash. Just as we came out at the top it started raining so hard you couldn't see. I never knew we even hit bottom because it was raining.

this happened on our last trip to MGM. my DS and myself were loaded into TT into the second row and in the front row there is a group of 5 or 6 young women about 18 years old. well the ride stars to move and one of the girls just starts screaming at her friends " every time we go on one of these rides we always have to be in the first row!!! you know i really dont like these rides!!!" she went on and on and was so loud that i thought she was part of the attraction. well after a few minutes she calmed down a bit and then my DS decided to wind her up a bit, every time we slowed he would ask me if this is where the drop is. he did this numerous times. i could hear her muttering to her friends about never again. well when we finally got to the drop zone my DS says to me " i think that the drop is just around the corner" down we go....needless to say that girl set a new record for the loudest uninterrupted scream of all-time. well when the ride stopped the girl turns around and looks directly at me. little did i realize my DS was pointing at me. telling her i did it. so she turns and looks at him and say to him " your dad must think he is funny"

Some people have no sense of humor at all

Last year DS and I were going to ride Astro Orbiter at night. We were in the elevator that takes you up to load and when the elevator first started up I did my hands up like on a roller coaster and said "Wheeeeeeeee!!!!!" Everyone laughed........I guess you had to be there.

My mom and I spent an entire IASW trip behind an Asian father and son. The son was trying, successfully, to practice the pronounciation of the ride name. "Small World, is that right? Small World?" Dad was extremely vexed and kept prodding the kid to "Say it right! It's "Small Willow. Willow WILLOW!!!. Say again."

And the poor kid would say, once again with perfect diction "Small World." And then dad would yell "NO! NO! Say again-small WillloooOOOw." Repeat, ad nauseum. Worse than the theme song.

My mom and I were hysterical the whole time.

We were on the Kali River Rapids, just ready to go down the drop when it stopped. That's were the fires are roaring & just sitting there it was getting pretty hot. We kept anticipating the big drop, waiting at the edge ready to go. After awhile, they shut the fires off. Then they started draining the whole thing and about a 1/2 hour later, when there was no water left, some CM's came up & told us to get out of the raft and walk across the "rapid bed" to the ground & they led us down some steps. Not really funny but different.

Wehn we went in JUne the first ride we rode at MK was the Magic Carpets and I was so hyped I burst into "A Whole New World" and my DD6 was moritifed. The look on her face was priceless!

I sympathize...I've been stuck under the fire too and it is HOT!

Okay, not actually "on" the ride, but in line.

DD then about 10, my parents, and I are in line for Star Tours (yep, there was actually a LINE back then). DD is standing facing backwards with her hands on the two rails. Chewbacca comes up behind her and just stands there. She gets that "someone is behind me feeling" and turns around. She did one of those slow motion pans as she keeps looking ever upward to his face which is towering above her. All the while her eyes kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger!

The look on her face was priceless...

What is it about IASW? On the first trip my then BF and now DH took together, we were at DL for our friends' wedding (on POTC). It was late on a Saturday night in November and the parks were fairly empty. We rode IASW and were the only occupied boat in a long row of empty ones. At the end of the ride, we had to stop for a while to allow a wheelchair to exit. It must have taken longer than usual to unload, as many, many boats began to back up, and then the force from the boats behind us began to push us forward. Well, as there was nowhere to go, and our boat was heavier than all those around us, the nose of our boat took a dive underneath the tail of the boat in front of us, much more quickly than I would have thought possible. I have a very vivid memory of seeing the tail of the boat in front coming at my head at an alarmingly rapid pace. I just sat there, a little dumbstruck, and would have been literally struck if my friend sitting behind me didn't have the wherewithal to pick me up under my arms and pull me back into her seat. My tush got a little bruised, but better than than my head! The CM, a very young man, didn't even seem fazed by the incident, even though the two boats were a Small World sandwich by that time. We had all hopped out before the empty boat completely covered ours, and got lectured about not waiting for the CM to come and get us. Hello! Squished by a Small World boat! Not the way I want to go.

I can't say it is the funniest thing ever, but one of the cutest things I remember....We were waiting in line at the Haunted Mansion. A family was in front of us and the dad was in a wheelchair. A cast member came to the back of the line to get the family to get them on the ride. The young daughter (obviously experiencing Disney Magic all day) looks up at her father with the most estatic face and says "Daddy, I am so glad you are in a wheelchair!" My family just giggled and giggled!

This wasn't at Disney, but it had to be one of the funniest ride moments I've witnessed. At Six Flags in GA there was this ride (forgot what it was called) that would pull you waaaaaaaaaay up in the air & then drop you, similar to TOT but not nearly as cool, and the track was L-shaped so you'd end up lying on your back. A really fun ride, BTW! This little girl, maybe 7 years old or so, was in line in front of me with her dad. She was SO excited to ride this, Dad was... not so much. The line was a looooong wait, the ride only had one car & it took forever to load & slowly pull to the top. It was super hot outside & very humid too.

Anyway, when we get to the loading area, the girl decides, hell no, I ain't going on this ride! Her dad told her "you made me wait in this long hot line, you're riding it!" (This is NOT the funny part). So we all load into the car, the poor kid is whimpering all the way up. At the top, the car moves forward and you can feel it sortof hanging in space for what must be the longest 2 or 3 seconds ever. Just before the drop, the girl started yelling at the TOP of her lungs...

OH LORDY, DON'T LET ME DIE!

She ended up really liking the ride, which is why I can look back at it as funny and not a sad example of bad parenting. To this day, whenever I am a little apprehensive about a ride, I always say quietly, Oh Lordy, don't let me die!

These stories are too funny! Thanks for sharing!

We were on the great movie ride at mgm in the very first seat. We got hyjacked by the gangster, went past the aliens, and into the next scary parts. Our gangster driver was scared of the snakes and my friend said to him, very seriously, "You've got the gun, shoot it". I cracked up. The poor gangster just looked at her.
