just for fun, re: broken rides..

[mom2morgan]

Reading the broken rides stories, some made me laugh. But my question is - what would be your personal WORST to get stuck on? Think real nightmare moment, triggering your own phobias ;-) My daugher said getting stuck in "It's a Small World" would be enough for her to need life long therapy! And mine is to be stuck in Stitch's Great Escape - those restraints wig me out and make me claustrophobic at the best of times - but I can't imagine being STUCK there with no clear end in sight! *shudder*

Tower of terror. I actually don't think I'm ever doing this one again. I did it once, waited 4 years, then did it again in August. I hate the buildup, I hate that feeling. I can't even tell when I'm going up, and when I'm going down. My whole body feels weak when its over! I hate it!

Been there done that - IASM. Over a half hour in one spot. That SONG over and over and over and overand over....Thirty years ago and it's still haunts me.
I have gone back on it a few years ago and thank goodness I made it through. Still have nightmares though.

Getting stuck going up the hill on EE would totally freak me out!! And there's NO WAY I could get out if I had to walk down

[disneychick62]

I wnt on SSE and the freakiest thing happened...all the animatronics had their heads hanging down with their eyes blinking. it was so freaky...

[prttynpnk]

Ok, maybe this isn't exactly horror inducing, but I'd probably get stuck on Aladins Flying Carpets at the spot where the camel spits in your ear as you pass.

This mad me laugh becuase I was thinking the same thing! That first hill is soooooo scary. Even worse would be being stopped upside on rockin roller coaster.

Okay you guys...don't laugh but the ride that I would be terrified on if it broke down would be the Dinosaur ride at AK. I know, weird right? I have been so scared of dinosaurs. Why, I have no idea. It's not like they are around anymore but they scare me. Maybe it's because I saw Jurassic Park when I was little and that scared me. I have reoccurring nightmares sometimes of being in a forest with dinosaurs.lol.

One time at Universal's IOA our boat got stuck in the Jurassic park ride inside where the raptors are and I literally started crying because it scared me so much . My imagination started running wild.

You all should see my pic on the first time I went on the Dinosaur ride at AK. I had my head shoved between the seat and my bf's back. Of course he had to buy the pic. I remember when I first went on the ride as soon as I heard Raptor I closed my eyes tight and hid my head ! And I was 18 at the time! I still like to go on the ride but I would NEVER want to be stuck on that ride !!

I actually know someone who was on the Tower of Terror and right as the doors opened (right before your fall), the ride froze. She said it was awful sitting there waiting for something to happen - either for her to be calmly escorted off the ride or for the ride to begin and suddenly fall!!

I think that CoP would be a little creepy to get stuck in...
I can't get "It's a great big beautiful tomorrrow.." out of my head from five years ago, and I did'nt get stuck in it...

How about getting stuck upside down on a corkscrew on RnRC!! That would be soooooo cooooool!!

[ThanxForNoticin]

We had an experience on Test Track. The cars in front of us got stuck inside the 'heat test' tunnel and also the 'cold test' tunnel - not a very comfortable place to be stuck for several minutes!

From what I understand, that couldn't happen. Gravity would be allowed to bring you to an upright position.

BOOOOOOO!

But just think.....wouldn't it be fun?

[MississippiDisneyFreak]

I agree that getting stuck in IASW would be mental torture....

I have a friend who was stuck on RnRC just before the corkscrew because of a power outage. She said the car ahead of her was hanging upside down, but instead of allowing that car to be given a little nudge to be placed back upright, cast members raised a scissor-like platform up from underneath them and manually lowered each person out of their seat (from the upside-down position) onto the platform. I just can't imagine that being safer than just moving the car down the track until it gets upright, but she swears that is how they did it.

I really question the accuracy of this story, but that is what she told me...

We did get stuck on CoP back in Dec 2005, it was horrible! I haven't been back on it since and I don't think I ever will!

[ravsluvdisney]

We've had two. One on Stitch a few years back which was awful. It was just getting to the creepy,dark, foggy part, my younger DS is in tears and then it all stops for 5-10 minutes before we're given the boot.

Got stuck on Splash during an Extra Magic hour night. We were somewhere DEEP in B'er Woods or wherever and it tookthem forever to get to us and then lead us out. Was kind of cool but creepy makin our way out.

My personal "what if" scenario would be if in the middle of HofP the Presidents all came to life zombie-like and started heading for the aisles!!

The SSE is so creepy and The TOT story is soooooo scary!!!!!!!!

Hmm, I think the worst ride that I've been stuck on is Space Mountain. The reason is that they put on the lights and I was able to see all the tracks, control station and the floor. It just kind of killed the allure of a dark ride for me.


I've been caught on Tower of Terror just before the traveling cage tries to enter the elevator. There was a problem and the lights came on. A cast member walked us to the back door and we had to pass the scene where there are plastic ghosts, the 'eye', etc,... I don't want to ruin it for others so I'll stop at this point. No here.

The funniest time I've been stuck on a ride was POTC right where the pirate is trying to get his cat to drink up. For exactly 22 minutes, I heard, "here kitty, kitty".

I now hate cats!!!

Oh wait, I've always hated cats!
