I'll start..
On Dinosaur my step son must have been pretty scared because when we viewed the picture taken at the end when the HUGE dinosaur pops out everyone in our party was in the pic except for him, all you saw was one arm! He had actually ducked all the way down! It was a hilarious pic!
Then on Splash Mt he was afraid of the big drop and cried and screamed on the little drops but when the big drop came he never uttered a sound while the rest of us screamed..
Back before the Stitch ride when it was Alien Encounter I sat between my two kids with my mom on one side and my DH on the other, at the part where the lights go off and the alien smashes out of the tube (mind you we are front row) Im scared and screaming bloody murder gripping my kids hands, my mother is laughing hysterically (think she was scared too) and all of a sudden I realize neither one of my kids have made a sound and that I must be scaring the daylights out of them so I stopped screaming. Once we got out of the attraction both kids told me my screaming was the worst part of the attraction for them :teeth: I felt so silly..
 
Going through IASW, we suddenly hear behind us...

"Oh, my God, IT'S CHUCKY!"

Then I snorted really loudly when I laughed...I only wished I'd thought of that.

Everyone else in the boat laughed, too. Even the kids.
 
On splash mountain I was on a log with the heavier load in the back of the log, and just before going down "Splippin Falls" there was a ride stopage and the logs were stopped around the bend. The problem is, the water keeps running and the water starts to build up behind and around the logs as they are in the water flow.

As our log was heavier in the rear we actually started taking on water.

The guys in the back of the log, stood up and walked up a couple rows (they were empty rows in between). I was amazed that something like this would happen.

if they didn't move, our log would have flooded (unless there is a release somewhere, but they would have been nearly wading in water before it was over.

while I love that ride some of those dolls are a bit creepy..lol
 

We were in Norway riding the boat ride and we had done it probably 3 times in a row. My girls love this ride! Anyway the 4th time we get in with an older couple that told us they were trying out rides to see what ones their small grandchildren would like when they brought them next weekend. Well..... right before the drop, both of my girls (2 and 7) raise their hands up and start screaming like they are going on the wildest roller coaster in WDW! The older lady starts screaming because she thinks she is about ready to get dropped down a huge cliff! She was sooooo embarrased when we got to the bottom of the very mild drop! :banana:

Ha ha ha...we've done that too...and on Pirates before the drop...and on Spash at that very first little drop...and on Tot when the doors first close... :rotfl:
 
I forgot to mention the rather large group of Hare Krishnas I once saw heading for Space Mountain. In a downpour. I don't know why I thought it was so funny... :flower3: (I can't find a Hare Krishna smilie so I'll just use the flower one :p )
 
I may have posted this before but it bears repeating... my mom screams in line. Loudly. For rides like... IASW. And Dumbo.

I also saw a group of hare krishnas queing for splash mountain.We were further ahead in the queue so after our ride we waited on the bridge to watch them whizz down the drop.They really made me smile as they were all wearing the robes.Bet that was a great photo!
 
I have another one.Mum likes to talk to the characters on rides (and wave at them).Last week she did it on snow white, splash mountain, winnie the pooh and peter pan.
On winnie the pooh the woman behind us couldn't stop laughing,at the end of the ride she told her she won the prize for most embarrasing mum!!
 
The only thing I can think of was when we were on Star Tours and it was storming outside. We are in the middle of the ride and it just shuts down. My mom was like (to my little brother) "OMG we are gonna be stuck in space forever!" HAHA My brother believed it too.
 
We were going through the Fastpass line for Space Mountain, flying past lots of kids in the regular line, when someone, grabbed my bottom. A couple of the moms in front of my said they grabbed them too. It was pretty dark in there. It was pretty surprising. I was moving too fast and it was too dark to see who it was. I was tempted too, just to embarass them, but there were too many people behind me. A minute or so later someone yelled out something I can't repeat here so I guess the shadow struck again.

My DH always says i scream like a little girl on some rides--

we were on TOT i was in the 2nd row and a young boy maybe 8 was with his family in front of me-- i guess i dont realize how loudly i scream but when we got to the bottom- and we were all ready to get out- the boy just HAD to turn around and take a looong look at me to see who the psycho was sreaming behind him! :crazy:

This is what happened to me on Splash Mountain. My husband convinced me to go on so I went and was freaked...screamed all the way down the big drop and buried myself in my dh's shoulder. But I wanted to buy a picture to prove to people I had been on. When we saw the pic...you saw everyone including my husband (we were in very back). But of me? All you saw was my left arm. :lmao:

My DBF said this really loud when we were there the last week of Sept 2005. My DS is afraid of Chucky, so when we were on IASW, DBF couldn't help but tease him! :rotfl:
 
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! :rotfl:
 
In 2000 the 3 of us were riding IASW. Now I have to tell you the boat was loaded down and we were on the next to last row of seats. As we turning the first bend the boat began list to the left side, very badly...so far over that I was sure it was going to tip completely over. Behind us in the last row was an older Asian couple (very petite people) and all of a sudden he began to scream in an Asian dialect for his wife to move over. I did make out a few words he was screaming, "we are sinking!" :rotfl2: It was pretty funny the rest of the ride. Now every trip we make and we pass IASW, we think of the Asian couple.
