Originally Posted By SleepingBeauty82 Does Splash Mountain break down a lot. We never ride it (not a huge fan of the drop) but it seems like it's down a LOT when we're in that area of the park.

They said it was down for 45 minutes. Wonder what the problem is...

She was a champ though and held it ok. We got free annual passes for the following season for our entire group. Definately a first class operation in my book.

Originally Posted By ophellia I always enjoy getting stuck on HM and try to stay in line near people in wheel chairs to increase the happening... at my wedding reception with 10 in our group we got stuck on the train just before it goes through Splash for 15 minutes, we just made it the party car... during DCA construction we were stuck on the monorail inside DCA for about 20 minutes and we got to 'drive' the monorail later...
Originally Posted By Sara Tonin I've never been evacuated from a ride, I feel so left out. Alice went 101 while we were waiting and people were evacuated. We were so close to the front of the line that we just waited for it to come back up.

While you are moving along too it isn't so bad but when you are stopped and they are still moving...well...I was getting a bit seasick.
Originally Posted By MTTB I was stuck on pirates for at least a good 30/35 mins. The thing with Pirates is they always seem to forget that only two or three boats can use the up-ramp at a time, caring only about sending as many guests as possible...Actually, make that boats, since I got on Pirates as a single rider, an they decide to give me a whole bench to myself...heck, they could have put a group of 2 or 3 next to me, but they just sent the boat off. The Pirates ride should definitely not run all 52 boats, despite the fact that I really wonder why the heck they need 52 boats anyway. There is no room in the POTC for 52 boats. PERIOD. Run 45 of them at the most. I know they have a boat storage area in the ride, it's not all that hidden. This goes on park management, for clearly over-looking the balance between good guest capacity, an guest overflow. Every ride, I end up backed-up, at least in the arsenal scene, and one time I was backed-up all the way to the bridge that the boat goes under to enter the burning town! Good-God! Guest captcity means nothing when you send half-filled boats in 10 second intervals! Disney and there People-Eating rides...at least fill the boats to full captcity instead of making more, causing the ride to back-up!

Originally Posted By Disney_Binky My friend and I needed to go to the bathroom and we were near the bathrooms in tomorrowland but it was packed with a horrible line.

The ride all of a sudden stopped just over casey jr's train, so we were only a few feet from being let off. I could actually see the Wonderful bathrooms, we ended up stuck there for almost 30 minutes!! We were fortunate to see the happy faces coming out of the bathroom. Oh the Happiness, and there was I willing to give anything just to get to those bathrooms... What a day.
