However, not everything can be magical all the time. Sometimes rides and attractions break down, making Guests wait, either in the queue or aboard the attractions, and in some cases, even having to evacuate them from the ride they are on. It would appear that rides breaking down are becoming more and more common at Disney Parks, or at least Guests seem to be sharing their experiences more frequently than before.

Avery Morton (@missaveryelaine) gives us an interesting example, as she recently posted a video on TikTok sharing her experience during a lengthy evacuation from Hyperspace Mountain at Tomorrowland. The video shows the building and tracks for the popular coaster, and other stuck Guests stuck on their trains. As the video shows Avery’s camera looking around, she added the text, “Thinking about that time we got stuck on Hyperspace Mountain in literally the WORST spot… while my labrum was still torn and I couldn’t do stairs.”

One viewer took the opportunity to ask Avery, who happens to be a Disneyland Cast Member at Fantasyland, what happens when a Guest can’t walk or go down the stairs if they have to evacuate an attraction at a point like the one seen in the video or the top of Splash Mountain.

Avery commented that Cast Members would have to call emergency services to handle a situation like the one described by this viewer and that she and her party almost agreed to accept that help during their evacuation. However, Avery mentions that, fortunately, she was with her parents, who helped her get out of the attraction. She details that she had to be lifted from the rocket and that it took her about twenty minutes to get down the stairs, but that she had been able to walk through both launch tunnels, making the whole experience worth it.

More on Hyperspace Mountain

Guests visiting Disneyland can experience Hyperspace Mountain, a Star Wars overlay of the beloved Space Mountain attraction, for a limited time. The official Disneyland website describes the attraction as follows:

Rocket Right onto the Battlefield

Fend off crossfire from swarms of Rebel X-wing starfighters and Imperial TIE fighters amidst an intergalactic onslaught!

Your mission begins with a briefing from Admiral Ackbar—the Rebel Alliance needs help flying reconnaissance vessels to survey an Imperial Star Destroyer. After being escorted into hyperspace by an elite X-wing squadron, you arrive only to find the Star Destroyer waiting with a swarm of TIE fighters—it’s a trap!

As Rebel forces valiantly battle Imperial vessels, you’re caught up in a barrage of blaster fire. Maneuvers become more intense as you join the Rebel squadron for one final, courageous assault on the menacing Star Destroyer. It’s an epic Star Wars combat scene taken straight from the films—but hurry, Hyperspace Mountain is only open for a limited time!
