Been stuck on Big Thunder for about 10 minutes and Alice for about 10 minutes but Indy was the worst.

It was only a short walk back to the loading area, but I'm really glad we got off at the beginning, and not next to the giant snake! Creepy!

That would be a nightmare, I'm thinking, especially if: a) You were on a moving one. b) You were way up high. (Were you?) <---off to calm down from her extreme case of the jibblies.

Separate question, what is the best compensation provided to you by Guest Relations after being stuck on a ride? Normal comp is fast-passes I think. We got 1-day park hopper tickets for the Sun Wheel thing. I wonder if anyone has done better than that??

Originally Posted By iamsally Deep in the bowels of Pirates for 2.5 hours. I am not exagerating. We had three small children; one a baby with a poopy diaper.

The CMs entertained us for awhile too but they and we got tired. It was really a long hard wait. Then, when they finally evacuated us into a back lot my poor 3yo grandson started crying, "WE"RE NOT IN DISNEYLAND ANYMORE! ! ! !" Terribly tramatic for a 3yo. All we go was passes to go to the front of the line on any ride.And they expired that day and the day was over. (We did go to City Hall the next day and we were given fresh passes.) My favorite has to be Gadget's Go Coaster. We were actually evacuated off that little thing.

Originally Posted By Kathi K We didn't get stuck but on Saturday we saw a group right at the top of Splash Mountain who were stuck there.

Originally Posted By TheParsec The First Time I went on Toy Story Mania got stuck for about 40 Mins. Then they took us off the ride to the back and gave us Fast Passes.
Originally Posted By iamsally >>>> I wonder what the problem was and the delay in evacuating...<<<<< I think it was in 2003. They tried and tried to get it moving. Then we had to wait for a special code or something before the guys in their hip waders could actually get into the water and start pushing the boats. The people in the boat behind us were positioned well and were able to leave within half an hour or so. We could have climbed over our boat into theirs but they would not let us. We were among the first to be evacuated so there were folks down there even longer. And we had family waiting for us at F! The CM's were not going to let us through cuz the show was starting but we told them what had happened and they found our place for us.
Originally Posted By ecdc 2.5 hours. Ouch. Pirates is far and away my favorite ride, but I think 2.5 hours would be too long even for me I'm not really an entitlement kinda guy - I can't stand it when guests think a broken-down ride is worth a Premium AP or something. But for 2.5 hours you should've gotten a lot more than some fast passes. I was stuck on Splash Mountain for 30 minutes once. That was the first time. The next time we were stuck on it for 20 minutes. Then the next time we were stuck for 15. That was all in one day. It took us four tries before we finally made it all the way through the ride.

The first person off our "raft" fell and cut her elbow really bad so they took her down right away. It was really fun seeing it from a cast member's view! All we got was the special fast pass to any ride - except Midway Mania, which is what we really wanted. Think we ended up using it for Space Mountain.
