I don't remember this from previous trips. Have the brakes gotten less smooth? Has my gut gotten bigger? Has anybody else noticed anything like this? [Actually, the best question is why, having had this happen once, I went and rode it again. ;-)]

Originally Posted By nemopoppins I never felt it on Space Mountain, but sometimes Mulholland Madness stops very harshly and I know the feeling.
