“To others, evacuating an attraction, especially a Disney one, is a coveted and rare experience, giving Guests a unique look into the ride itself.”
That is true. It happened to me recently on the Rise of the Resistance ride. The ride was stopped when I was at the part where giant laser cannons shoot through windows, and the windows show an enormous animation of space ships and things. For the immersive experience to stop, and regular lights come on, offered a sort of eerie experience. Like everything freezing to a stop in Westworld, a series from HBO. Walking on foot in the space I’ve ridden through a number of times.
I did years ago on Splash Mountain just before the final steep plunge. It was precarious to say the least. It was also late at night so the darkness only added to the uncertainty. The cast members seemed to work well together using a obvious evacuation plan.
We broke down on the Peter Pan ride and it was an eye opener when the lights came on and we walked out to see all that it took to make it go. Our 4 great grandkids were very impressed to see what it really took to make it go. It was a good day.
One does not evacuate a train like that, you get off and walk the short distance to the next stop. Unless handicapped or limited stop being pathetic and walk.
When did this happen ? because I was at Disneyland Monday and Wednesday, it be great if your added dates. I experienced long delays and it was broken down several times during my time there.
I’ve had a few experiences with Disneyland rides breaking down. One of the most memorable was on the Matterhorn. We were more than halfway up the mountain and everyone had to get out of the cars and walk back down and exit the ride completely. The “best” was on Splash Mountain. The ride malfunctioned and we ended up stuck next to bottom of the big splash. We were waiting to go up to the top ourselves and had to sit there while all the boats ahead of us came down and completely soaked us. We had no idea how many there were and it just got funnier and funnier every time another one came down and splashed us. It was the first week of January 2002 – I remember because we were on the second part of our honeymoon – so it was a little chilly … especially as it was evening. It definitely gave us something unique to remember.
