My DH and I experienced a first at WDW -- we got evacuated from a ride. We were on Splash Mountain when a traffic jam became longer and longer. Finally the music and animatronics turned off and we were told a CM would be out to assist us. They had to manually open the lap bars and we all went out back stage where we got a FP. No clue what the issue was.
Haven't been evacuated but want to say that 7DMT is not supposed to be only for little kids as some on the boards say. Although it's a "family coaster", it's supposed to be of interest to everyone, as opposed to The Barnstormer which really is supposed to be just for kids
DH and I were evacuated from POTC a few years ago. We were stopped in a jam right before the jail scene and sat there for about 30 mins before they got to taking us off. We got a little backstage tour of the ride on the way out and had to walk around the back of the building to get back in the park, that was pretty interesting. We got two any attraction FPs.
We were evacuated on POTC (2012) after a woman fell into the water upon exiting... the scary part was a boat ran right over her...
The ambulance/medical people were (doing their jobs) and people behind us evacuated through a side door, we had to "jump" from our boat to the one in front of us, and walk right by the medical team...
The weirdest part of all, (aside from whatever happened to that poor woman) was you really saw Disney-behind the scenes spring into action... there was NO way the people behind us knew anything really because the CM was singing pirate songs with them while they waited and they were escorted through a side door. The medical crew came in a different side door and took the family of the woman out that way with them... the CM helping us was handing out FP's like it was going out of style, (before FP+) and the men in suits were coming down the exit ramp (motorized ramp thingy) as we were going up...
We didn't use the FP's we gave them to a family about 20mins. later, it was DH's first time at Disney almost last ride of the day... he was freaked out by that one and wouldn't ride another ride!
Same one, twice now.My DH and I experienced a first at WDW -- we got evacuated from a ride. We were on Splash Mountain when a traffic jam became longer and longer.

Didn't get removed but ToT broke down when we were in the hallway section a little after they open the door and just before the drop. They had to turn on the lights and told us we would have to do the drop since it was the only way to get off. It actually was pretty cool, there were probably only 8 people in the car, we sat there for about 15 min. then did the drop. They told us we could get right back on if we wanted, strangely only DS and myself decided to do it, they walked us right down to the loading doors and back on we went. Best ride ever.
