My "Stuck on Small World" story
In 2012, we were on Small World and pretty much had the ride to ourselves. We were waved off, passed the Village Haus, and saw a teenaged boy sitting on a the platform next to the reindeer in the first room. Just as we were about to pass under the arch, his parents started screaming from the exit ramp. The CMs saw what was going on, and shut off the jets that propel the boats. We ended up sloooooowly floating through the ride, with extra lights on. For a little while the CMs turned off the music, but that was really creepy, because you could hear all of the moving parts of the dolls creeking. Since we were alone in most of the rooms, moving slowly, and had extra light, my husband suggested that it would be a good time to take the pictures that I always wanted but would never come out. I did end up with some fantastic photos.
When we FINALLY got off the ride 45 minutes later, I asked the CM's if everything was okay. They denied that there had been a problem!
Small World is still one of my favorite rides but it was very hard to convince the family to ride again that trip.
