When we were trapped at Magic Kingdom. By the Spectromagic parade. We couldn't move. At all. We were stuck in a giant body to body crowd, we couldn't even see anything except the hair on the back of the fat man's neck in front of us. We could just hear the Spectromagic music. It was like a nightmare, and all we wanted to do was LEAVE. My version of hell now includes Spectromagic music.
Rides don't scare me, crowds do... D=
except, we weren't leaving, we were trying to get further in.
So, it was in Auguest 2006. Our most recent trip. We were in the magic kingdom, and we were in 2 groups. Me, my cousin brittany, my mom, and my aunt. the other group was my dad, my brother and sister, and my other cousin tyler. It was emh, and group 2 was at splash mountain, and group 1 was heading towards the hotel, only, me and brittany didn't want to go, we wanted to ride splash mountain one more time. So our moms let us go off on our own to Splash Mountain. Yeah, Spectromagic was on, but we thought we could like...walk our way through. WRONG. Omg, it must've been the worst experience ever. Sooo...we had to walk our way out of main street USA. On the hardness level, I give it a...7/10. For some parts, we could walk through the air conditioned shops. but other than that, main street was PACKED to like...capacity. And it's a pretty narrow-ish street.
So, we're at the end of Main Street, by the castle, on the Tomorrowland side. We shove our way through to tomorrowland. Couldn't we get to fantasy land through tomorrowland? Lets go! So we're walking fast, because group 2 was already at splash mountain and they were waiting. So we're in tomorrowland, and trying to get to fantasy land. And we get there...and...oh no! So is the parade...and 347230482309483029482309482 people. >.< We try to get through, but we need to get to the other side! So it was a pain, we were going a TOTALLY different direction from the crown.
We finally get to Liberty Square. That. was. AWFUL!!!!! I mean it. We COULD NOT move. People were sohuting, pushing, and impatient. We got trapped. We couldn't move. We had to stay in that spot. At that time, I was hot, sticky, and sweating, squishing against all these people. I couldn't breathe. There was no oxygen. We got stuck, and ended up having to wait for the wholee parade. So it passes, and we runn to frontier land.
And guess what? There was the parade. And the 834093840932840239840239840293 people. We just couldn't get away! I was about to DIE. I wanted to collapse. And then Brittany was like "OMG MELISSA! Do you smell that?!" And I smelt. And I smelt....chlorine! I could smell Splash mountain! And with that boost, we dodged and ran our way...all the way to splash mountain. Ugh, it was soo awful.
But luckily, by the time we got to Splash Mountain..there was no line and we rode like...5 times. Lol!
My advice to you. NEVER, get stuck in Liberty Square when there's a parade. It's the worst spot. I'd rather be stuck on Hall of Presidents than go through that again. I thought I'd never be able to breath again. Lol.
