WORST place you've gotten stuck on a ride!

[HopperFan]

Boat in Norway. Had to climb out onto small walkway, get taken out a back door to see (am still traumatized) employee parking and the real world, then walked around to the front. That is my only memory of stuck at WDW. Now at a Six Flags got stuck at top of large hill of metal coaster. After about 10 minutes I really wanted off, kinda lose that trust of the mechanics. We finally went but I didn't ride it again for a couple years.

Spaceship Earth, right next to the News boy yelling, "Extra, Extra Read All About It", over and over and over.

I don't think I have ever recovered.

We got stuck on Spaceship Earth too just a week ago, on the way down, the virtual classroom you know "how about a bee? Have you ever see bees make a bee hive? how about a dragon fly, make his body longer, cool! This is really good class" That for 7-8 minutes in a loop it was AWEFUL

Right infront of the giant glowing spiders in Haunted Mansion...unfortunatly I'm a bit arachniphobic, so at the wee age of 11 with a 12 year old male cousin next to me it was none to fun... But, it's still one of my favorites!

I have never been stuck on Space Mountain but I have been on the TTA going through it while they were evacuating people. I felt bad for them!

Kali River Rapids, the ride was fairly new at the time. We were 3/4 up the first hill (not a great feeling) high 80s, lots of humidity, you get the picture.
There was my DD, her hubby and DGD and another couple with a young child, the Mom of that couple, screamed almost the entire time. I actually found that to be the most upsetting.
We were up there for just over an hour, they could not figure how to get us down-out, being that we were on such a slant.

P.S. About 6-7 months later, I get my nerve to ride it again, just as we get to where you get into the ride, it breaks down again.

We got stuck at the begining of RnR. They turned the lights on for us to walk out. It kind of freaked me out because I never realized how close those tracks are to each other and how tight the turns are.

Hubby and his friend got stuck in the dark on Tower of Terror. The funny part was when someone hit the side of the car and Pooh sized Hubby freaked out and tried to climb on the lap of his not so pooh sized friend. He thought the car was going to freefall drop.

Oooh, this is a good thread. I have a GREAT story for this one, so here goes:

All Disney trips I have been on have included myself, DM, DD, DA, DU, and 2 DBs. Well, DA, DU, the older of the DBs (I'm the oldest in the family), and I went on Test Track. We loved it, but we couldn't convince the rest of the family to go on it until the next trip. We had talked it up for a year, saying how it was so awesome and everything. Well, DM, DD, and the younger DB (who I think was nine or ten, and still nervous about most thrill rides) finally got up the nerve to ride.

It was our last night in Epcot, and it was close to closing time, so we all got in a rather long line in order to ride it in time. Unbeknownst to us, it was progressively getting cloudier outside. By the time we got on the ride, it was raining a bit outside, but we had no clue. Since there were so many of us, DB1 (the older one) and I agreed to go alone. We were seated in the back of a car with a Korean family that didn't speak a word of English. Meanwhile, the rest of the family shared a car. They ended up being several cars behind us, so we couldn't turn around to see them.

Anyway, the ride came to a stop several different times. First, we got stuck in the room where it's cold. Then, we got stuck in the room that was hot. THEN, we got stuck in the last room of the environmental check, and a pipe was leaking right above DB1's head. The entire time, we were laughing and giggling about how terrible it was that our DD, DM, and DB were riding for the first time and getting stopped every few feet.

It literally took us an hour to make it all the way through the ride. When we got off, we hung around in the shop, waiting for our family. Another fifteen minutes later, they come through the doors looking haggard. DA and DU are trying really hard not to laugh, you could tell.

As it turns out, the rest of the family got stopped after the car went outside the building. They literally were doing the 60 mph loop thing and came to a screeching halt. On the part of the track where you're basically turned on your side. Rain was drizzling on them a bit, and they were stuck there for five minutes. DM, DD, and DB2 have refused to ride ever since. Meanwhile, the original four (DA, DU, DB1, and me) all still ride and laugh a bit whenever we get to the loop. Our poor family!

We got stuck at the top of the first lift hill on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. It was July the 4th, we were in the first car and we had a fantastic view of the fireworks.

We've also been stuck on Test Track but hasn't everyone and Spaceship Earth.

Last year when on went on that awful stitch ride we got stuck walking toward the main part of the ride. It was awful. The timing or something was off and we had to wait 30 minutes.

Also, I got stuck in the haunted mansion but it was a pretty cool place we were watching the dancing scene. We were stuck on that one for about 15 minutes.

 

[MScott1851]

We got stuck by the ballroom scene in HM, too. I was tickled pink, because I had never felt like I had ever had enough time to check it out in the past!

We also got stuck coming back down Spaceship Earth one time; you know, the part where you're basically lying on your back...

I think my least favorite "stuck" time was when we were on RnR and got stuck. I was all pumped about the ride and it was completely shut down for 30 minutes or so.

 

[fan of the TTA]

we've broken down a few times. snow white, big thunda mountain railroad and most reecently indiana jones adventure at disney land parris.

we were riding it and we got stuck upside down. we were told over the speak that we had to actually ivacuate the ride. so...they bort it back to uprite position and we had to rush down a ladder.

god...that's put me off that for good

We got stuck on Pirates before and found out later that it was our boat that caused everything. I am sure that several people were a little upset with us afterwards.

 

[hogwartsdropout]

I got stuck just at that little waterfall place on Splash Mountain after the drop. There were boats stuck behind us and one man on the boat behind couldn't stop laughing at us! We were getting soaked!
My brother in law got stuck on Dinosaur, just as the T-Rex is there!

 

[time101]

My DW and I were stuck on the previous incarnation of the ride at the Imagination! pavilion, JIYI. First of all, it was a horrible ride. Second, we got stuck in the part where you were in TOTAL DARKNESS. You couldn't see a thing, not even your finger held up 1 inch from your eye, which I tried several times out of sheer boredom!

Also was stick on ToT near the drop, but I didn't mind that as much as JIYI.

 

[Sleepy]

I'd have to say Dinosaur in AK. We were stuck in the dark with sound full blast for about 10 minutes. The kids in the front row (not mine) were screaming hysterically.

Then, there was POTC....the end of the ride where the guys are in jail....again over 20 minutes with complete sound. Uggghhh..the music, etc. Our boats made it fun though. We kept screaming "Get us out of here....we want out!"

 

[safetymom]

Stuck on the part of the track at Splash Mountain where you are going up for the final splashdown. I didn't really want to do the ride and was getting a little scared sitting there for quite a while.

Last June we got stuck in Haunted Mansion for about 25 minutes right in front of Madame Leota!! We had to listen to her chanting her spells the whole time and we had them stuck in our heads for the rest of the day!!

 

[scgustin]

We actually got stuck on Test Track. We were going full speed at 60 mph when the brakes locked up. It was only the 2nd time I rode it, so I thought it was another anti-lock brakes demonstration. But, we sat still, then it started back up but at only like 3 mph. We then WENT THROUGH THE BANKED CURVE AT 3MPH! I seriously thought I was going to fall out. We were screaming at the people through the window waiting in the que.

Scary, but honestly, pretty fun.

 

[tidoublegger]

In front of the fire on Spaceship Earth (stinks!).

We got stuck in the exact same spot! Peeeeeeewwwwwwwww! The smell made me sick to my stomach!!

My fam (DW & DD5) got stuck at the highest point of BTMRR at night. It was last October, the day hurricane Wilma blew through Orlando. The MK opened up at 1:30PM that day and was staying open until midnight. Well, this was the last ride of the evening and we got stuck at the top of lift hill 2. CMs came up to relax us while maintenance was dispatched.

The CMs came up with candy from MNSSHP from the night before and MK Fast Passes. They handed everyone in the train 4 Fast Passes each.

Maintenance showed up 30 minutes later (It Was COLD)! They tied the train down (Procedure) and got each of us out of the train. We walked down the steps from the lift hill and underneath the ride. I had never seen the mechanics of BTMRR, but it was pretty fascinating.

Once we got back to the ride queue, a Manager told all of us to stop at Town Hall on the way out of the park and pick-up a free one day park hopper admission ticket. We were extremely surprised at the generosity.

When we got to Town Hall the nice CM told us she knew nothing about this. She made a few calls and got all her facts straight. She went to the back and came out with several one-day Park Hopper tickets and more MK Fast Passes. She gave everyone their admission ticket and 3 or 4 more Fast Passes.

I still have all the Fast Passes 23 to be exact. I plan to use them on our upcoming trip at the end of March. We'll probably need them as the Spring Break crowds will be rather large and stand-by lines will be lengthy.
