Have you ever got stuck on a ride? I always seem to be on Test Track when it breaks down and I also got stuck on Maelstrom-all the lights went off and our boat was stuck in the bit at the bottom of the 'drop' for about half an hour!:mad: :)
 
Yes I've gotten stuck on rides a few times. The last time we went, Splash Mountain stopped about 5 times on one trip. And on it's a small world, we got stuck when we were almost at the end for about 15 minutes. For the rest of the trip it was closed down.
 
I got stuck on Spaceship Earth(the big ball) and it's a small world and pirates of the carribean and a lot of others. I think they stop sometimes because they have wheelchair entrances and they have to let them on.
 
There's a huge difference between getting stuck and having the ride stall!! The rides stall on us all the time...usually, we assume, so they can load a wheelchair. When they stop the ride and have you WALK from whatever point you were at to the begining... then the ride has REALLY gotten stuck!!
The funniest time was when we were on test track at the part just before you burst out the doors. I was on the ride with my whole family but I was the only one who had been on it before so I was the only one who knew something was wrong. You know how you're supposed to accelerate through the doors, with them opening at the last second? Well, instead of accelerating the ride went at a CRAWL! probably about 5-6 mph even though the screen was still reading the speed to be about 45mph! We go S. L. O. W. L. Y. up and down the curves before the ride just suddenly stops! It stopped just before the part where you wrap around the building the last time you bank a turn and just stopped. Now, this was in AUGUST so we are all sitting out in the Florida August sun at a 45º angle sweating our tails off! The day before we went to animal kingdom and I bought one of those little personal fans...at the time everyone called it a "waste of money" but you can bet they were all begging to use it!
Well, in the end a huge burly guy comes around and asks us if anyone had a camera and we thought they were going to break it so that we couldn't use it in a lawsuit or something! But he just took our pictures saying "No one else will have a picture like this!" And then they bought us bottled water and ice cream Mickey bars (after we got down)! It was definitely a memorable moment!!
 

i also got stuck on Tomorrowland Transit Authority in Space Mountain. I was yelling at the people on the ride and the when we got moving again the people at the exit said it was because of someone standing up and the ride immediately halted. We had to wait more than 30 minutes it seemed. When we got out it was bright out and we couldn't see where we were going. That was the worst one ever. I think that I might have gotten stuck in the Haunted Mansion but I'm not to sure of that one. Bye!
 
Hmmmmm YES! I've benn stuck on tons of rides! lol

Let me list a few...

Pirates of the Caribbean
Splash Mountain
Haunted Mansion
It's a Small World
Sky Way (when it was open of course)
Space Mountain
Buzz Lightyears Sapce Ranger Spin (great way to rack up points!)
Spaceship Earth
Horizons
Test Track
Univers of Energy (we actually had to be escorted off the ride)

Ummmm possibly a couple more... I don't recall too many of those experiences at either MGM or DAK.
 
Our ride has stalled, like in Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain, Spaceship Earth and Buzz, but never actually had to get off and walk. Luckily, although I 've always wondered what it would be like!! :D
 
i got stuck for almost an hour on splash mountain one time and it was at the christmas party so we had paid even more to get in and the worst part was that we were about 20 ft. from the exit and they couldn't let us off for "safety reasons" i got stuck on the haunted mansion before and on spaceship earth i never actually had to walk off but i think that would be kinda fun!!:bounce: :bounce:
 
ive been halted on many rides many times b/c of wheelchairs...i dont count that as being stuck

i have gotten stuck on TT like 3 times.
then one time on TTA we rode it to see the fireworks...well during the fireworks we got stopped in Space :rolleyes: oh-well
 
Well, when I was on Haunted Mansion and it stalled for about 5 minutes (so is that really stalling?) and I really didn't get stuck, but on Maelstrom after the ride you know how you have to walk through some doors to get out? Well those didn't open for like 15 minutes so we were stuck there while more and more people just kept coming
