for 30 minutes because it broke down. You can't get off the ride, you are stuck there and the music/voices are still continuing on, but the vehicle is stopped. Which ride would you choose?

I would choose the People Mover. The only bad spot in that ride is the complete pitch black part for about 15 seconds. I would be totally fine being stuck on that one. Maybe Big Thunder would be okay too.
 
it's a small world.

Just kidding, of course!

Hmmm, I've never really thought about it. I probably wouldn't mind being stuck on Spaceship Earth. I have a (probably abnormal) love for that ride and I would probably find it relaxing to sit in the cool dark atmosphere for a bit.
 
I've been stuck on People Mover. They do turn the lights on so you're not in the dark, but listening to the roar of SM or "Paging Mr. Morrow...Mr. Tom Morrow" ad nauseum is a bit much. LOL

I've been stuck in the ending part where you stare at the earth for probably 20 minutes. That was not fun. But maybe if I were to stuck in a different scene, I could handle that.
 
I've been suck on kali so many times where I either baked in the sun or got more than soaked by rain that I'll take any ride that isn't outside and be happy to wait no matter what is around me or playing....
 
Happened to us in July. We got stuck on PoC for literally 45 minutes. We were in the very last room before the end where Cpt Sparrow is (the one with all the fire). After about 20 minutes, they stopped the music. 10 minutes later, the special effects stopped. Then the lights came on. They had to have CMs get in the water and push our boat back to the previous room where there was an emergency exit. Everyone on the ride took it in stride. People were laughing and pointing out really cool things we'd never seen before, since the lights came on. There were no less than 15 CMs lining the path we had to walk, all were so polite in apologizing (and making sure nobody took pictures because we were "backstage"). At the end, CMs were giving out free ice cream bars and FP+.

DS loves the weirdness of the Heffalumps and Woozles room on Pooh and has said he'd like to get stuck there. (Yes, DS is odd. :D)

I think Peter Pan where you're flying over London would be cool.

I hadn't thought of that one, but yes! That would be neat. There's so much to see there.

We've gotten stuck for a few minutes at a time on so many rides, and my first choice of those would definitely be People Mover. It's not so bad being stuck in the open air vehicles, especially since they're under cover.
 
The only ride I've ever been stuck on was HM. At least it was cool and I was sitting but was by one of those door knockers Gave me a headache.
 
I forgot to say that the worst place I've been stuck is on the ramp up to the big drop on Splash Mountain. I had two of my kids with me, and we were right underneath the vultures. The ride had been having issues that whole trip, but that was the worst. The kids--who had ridden the ride many times--were so freaked out by the time we made it to the top that I wasn't sure I'd ever get them on the ride again.
 
I know where I wouldn't want to get stuck cause I have been there. We got let out the crash door of Test Track right before it started pouring. Had my then 10 or 11 year old twin boys and my brother in the car. They shut it down right as we got back tot he building but we were on the sideways incline all leaning at about 60 degrees to the left. Pouring cats and dogs. Instantly soaked, laughing hysterically as the water came off the top of the building right on top of us. Only thing that worried us was shock hazard because the car was filling up. We probably sat there a minute or two before they crawled us back in. The people waiting to get on the ride were laughing their heads off at all the soaked rats like us coming around the corner to disembark. Me and the boys still laugh about that ride.

I've been stuck on HM towards the end, before you get to the Hitchhiking Ghosts. It was painful to have the screeching pop up ghosts, the singing busts, the fat lady singing, and all the other HM sounds.
 
I've also been stuck on Ariel in MK, right at the beginning as the clam shell rotates around Ariel. Thankfully we were just past that when it stopped, we were stuck a solid 15-20 minutes. Stuck on Buzz in MK also for about 5-7 minutes. I got a really high score that game. :tongue:
