Longest Time Stuck on Ride

I was just curious how many people have been stuck on a ride in DL or DCA and what is the longest you have ever been stuck. I was stuck on Pirates twice in the same spot on the same day, but they were only for about 10-15 minutes each.

Re: Longest Time Stuck on Ride

I got stuck on BTMRR once right at the end when you go by the town for about 25 minutes.

Re: Longest Time Stuck on Ride

I've gotten stuck on the Peoplemover, the Skyway, and the Haunted Mansion (several times on HM).

The Haunted Mansion happened so frequently - and the longest we sat there was 15 minutes. But several times it happened in the same spot - at least where my doombuggy was - at the floating candleabra down the hallway. The last time we rode it it stopped at the crystal ball, but only for a minute or two.

Once on the Skyway for about 10 minutes - but I was freaked out.

And the longest ever was on the Peoplemover. We sat there for over an hour until finally a CM came by the little tiny path next to the track, getting everyone out of their cars and we walked off the ride, down the track. It was 100% shut down.

Re: Longest Time Stuck on Ride

I've been stuck on Splash several times, jammed up in front of "the big hill." The longest was probably only 10 to 15 minutes, but it felt like 20 or 30!

But the Haunted Mansion is the WORST when it comes to getting stuck! I loved riding it by myself at night while DH was still working, but almost every single time I rode it, I got stuck, usually for about 10 minutes at a time. The worst time was when I got stuck in the room that has the "ghost bride" with the really loud heartbeat, y'know?? I almost started to cry because all of the doom buggies around me were empty...and heartbeat was resonating through my whole body! It was the only time I've actually been scared in the HM.

I'm racking my brains but just help me out...whats BTMRR stand for?

I was stuck on the short lived Rocket Rods and they gave us one of those "front of the line" passes, so we went again and got stuck again! So they gave us TWO passes :) Very nice CM's

Another time I got stuck on the matterhorn for about 25 mins then a CM came and took us through the underground of the ride, dripping pipes and slimy floors! It was VERY cool to see the back stage. Then they game us special hand stamps that said "I survived" and a front of the line pass and a 10% off at any store. It was a very exciting day I must say!

I love everyone's use of abbreviations on this forum...great for dyslexics...

I've never been stuck on a ride in WDW, DL, or even EuroDisney....lucky I guess.

Re: Longest Time Stuck on Ride

I was stuck on Pirates for about 1/2 hour this past january, it was right before the drop, out of nowhere came the managers with the suits and ties. We were just about to get off, with their assistance, boat to boat, but then it started up.
But the worst time, was in Test Track (yes, I know Florida...but), we were stuck under the heat lamps for about 10 minutes, we were very very hot, the bad part was we were on with a friend and it was her first time, the good news....we got to walk the track to exit the ride, and the CM showed us ALL the hidden Mickeys...

Re: Longest Time Stuck on Ride

I've never been stuck on a ride for over 30 seconds .. The only ride i've ever been stopped on was the Haunted Mansion for about 30 seconds. I never even got stuck on Rocket Rods.. or anything! I guess the rides like me

Oh wait, once I got stuck right before the huge drop on Grizzly River Rapids. But that was only for about a minute. It was pretty freaky staring over that edge of the hill for so long with out ever moving!
