When planning a trip to a theme park, what comes to mind? Exciting attractions? Thrilling roller coasters? Classic dark rides? Amazing food? Probably all of the above. Each one of these is a normal experience for guests visiting any of the Universal Studios theme parks, but things can still go wrong.

Not every guest follows the rules, which can, unfortunately, tamper with the experience for other visitors. From ride breakdowns to fistfights, when guests do not follow the rules, things can sometimes go haywire.

A video posted to TikTok a few years back is a great example, explaining how an attraction at Universal Studios was forced to be evacuated due to an unruly rider.

As you can see, the ride was allegedly shut down and evacuated after a guest refused to stay seated in their boat. This is not only an annoyance to other riders but a safety hazard as the guest could have hurt themselves or others on the ride. Everyone else was forced to leave the ride because of this one guest, resulting in a rather annoying experience for all involved.

This also likely caused the attraction’s wait time to skyrocket as it struggled to catch up with the delay.

Things like this tend to happen on slower-moving rides like Jurassic Park River Adventure at Universal Studios or Haunted Mansion and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Disney and it is always a hindrance to the overall ride experience.
