Originally Posted By gardenrooms Never had to be rescused from a ride (though sat on quite a few in some very uncomfortable positions in non-Disney parks). I always loved the Carousel of Progress and all the other similar attractions, and was so sad when it left DL. So when we were last in WDW, of course I had to ride it. Well, there was a huge rainstorm while we were inside, and the CM's asked everyone to stay put. We were in the last scene - so it kept playing over and over and over... (Why couldn't they just have sent us around again? That would have been fun!) Some people were exiting, but it distressed the CM's, so we sat there patiently until we just couldn't take it any more, and finally, we exited, too (we were about the last one to leave). Granted there were some huge puddles and no one out and about, but no big deal, not even from a liability standpoint. Think I finally got my fill of the Carousel of Progress. I think you already had the worst - IASW. It could be fun to walk out of HM or TOT. I wouldn't want to get stuck upside down on any ride, so that could put Rockin' Roller Coaster on my list, too. Can't think of anything claustrophobic - I think that would be the worst (haven't been on Mission Space yet - is that?) (Those uspide-down Pirate Ship rides in other parks would be the absolute worst in my opinion - you can't breathe they cinch you down so hard!)
Originally Posted By jaymo I've been stuck on Big Thunder, Test Track and Spaceship Earth. On all three we had to get out of the ride vehicles and walk to the exit. It was cool walking down the steps in Spaceship Earth cause we were up high. I definetly would not want to get stuck on Rock 'N' Roller Coaster.
Originally Posted By stitchcrazy I think I get at least temporarily stuck on Spaceship Earth every time. But 3 weeks ago on my last trip we were stuck for a very long time. My realistic guess would be 10 minutes (my annoyed guess felt at the time like 30). But its hard to tell when you're bored and sitting stuck in the dark listening to the newscasts around the world section loop through 50 times over. A CM came through with a tiny flashlight and my husband and I were like wow-how the heck can she see anything with that tiny light! It got to the point where everyone in all the other cars were talking really loudly. My husband & I started putting our bets down on how long till mutiny and somebody tried to actually get up or out of their vehicle.

They "rescued" us first and then we had to walk forward and go to each vehicle to get other riders out. The CM had an orange flag to lead us out. It was quite a sight!
Originally Posted By pbjshakelover Oh! and to answer your second question, I think IASW would be the worst. You say it was "borderline" torture, I think it would definitely be torture all the way! Once that song is in your head, it's impossible to get it out!

Originally Posted By mrkthompsn I've been stuck on the WEDWAY. That's a good long walk to the station. The worse place to be stuck? On the monorail in the morning - on the way ~to~ the MK.
Originally Posted By bloona I got stuck on test track, just on the steep first curve of the outside part. I was hanging from the seatbelt with my sons weight all leaning on me.

One good thing was we got to stay on the ride and go around again, the look on the peoples faces at the front of the queue was priceless!....lol My aunt had to walk out of Splash Mountain, I wouldnt like that, too many steep bits and water about.
Originally Posted By Boardwalkbum I've been stuck on Pirates, Wedway, Splash, SE & CtoE (Dino) but never for more than five minutes and never had to be "rescued". One time we were stuck on Malestrom for almost 20 min. at the point where you can see the ride vehicle from the pavillion. I could've sworn we were going to get rescued but the ride system started up again. Least like to get stuck on Space Mountain. In all the times i've ridden it over the years, I've never seen it with the lights on and I dont want to. If I ever got stuck on it and it was necessary to walk down I think I would do it with my eyes closed.

Originally Posted By Kylesmom I was walked out of Splash at DL several years ago. I thought it was cool, but then again we were passed the Splash. I'd hate to get stopped in IASW or the loop of any of the looping coasters.
Originally Posted By wam0418 I can honestly say The longest I have been stuck was 10 min on Caroussel of Progress...and holy Its a great big beautiful tomorrow...Man was that harsh to listen to that song... But I wouldnt want to get stuck on Its A Small World...I think I could prove how small it was when I would destroy all of them dolls after listening to that song over and over again....HELP! The pain!

The ride wasn't moving but we could still shoot and score points. I finally made Galatic Captain!!!!
