WDW rides seem to run almost 100%
But sometimes the WDW rides have a twitch :badpc:

What ride at which park and how long it was down, did you have a problem?

We were on the Pooh ride and it stopped for about 3 minutes, maybe for a disabled person to get on the ride ?

What happened to you ?
 
Today I was stuck on Kilimanjaro Safaris for almost two hours in the sun with no water or explanation of what was happening.
 
We got stuck 3 separate times on Splash mountain during one ride. We eventually just got evacuated from it, but we were on it for about 45 minutes...
 
Pirates at WDW, that song, it just wouldn't end. Finally, they turned the sound off, and then back on again for another 10+ minutes before we actually started moving. Grand total over 45 min stuck in the same spot on the ride, with most of it being subjected to that mind numbing song.

RSR at DL, our car didn't accelerate at all at the final race sequence and we were walked off. We were put on the next ride but none of the audio was working, we gave up at that point.

We have been stuck for 10 or so minutes on many other rides but these two were obvious issues.
 


We got stuck on EE. We got stuck at the top right before you go backwards and just sat there. Probably got stuck for 5-10 minutes before we started again. Later got stuck coming around a curve, probably another 5-10 minutes. Pretty stressful because while we were waiting at the top, the music randomly clicked back on and made it sound like another train was coming up the mountain and I thought we were going to get hit, lol.
 
TSM a few years ago. We were stuck for awhile then CM let us out of the cars and we were escorted out. I was bummed because for once I was winning.
 
I also had to walk off of Universe of Energy during the dinosaur part. That was actually cool.
 


once we got stuck on the people mover right over tomorrowland speedway bridge 20 minutes... then evacuated... another time on splash mountain... thy turned the lights on... waited about 10 min... Got a free fastpass for people mover...:)
 
DH and 14 yo (who was 4 at the time) were stuck on it’s a small world in the white room for 30 minutes. To this day they both list that as their best thing ever at WDW.
 
Once on Dinosaur the ride stopped, all the lights went off and the sound stopped. It was only like 5 minutes but we sat in the dark with no idea what was going on and the only thing you could hear was the dinosaurs "breathing". Also we got stuck going up the hill on Miss Adventure Falls. After about 15 minutes they evacuated us. They gave us bottles of water and passes to come back to the front of the line.
 
We have been stuck on Haunted Mansion for a good 20 minutes. They turned the lights on, but eventually it started back up without evacuation. I've also been stuck on Splash Mountain, but for only about five minutes.
 
Not WDW but at DLR we've had Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain, Pirates, Little Mermaid and Snow White all break down while we were on the ride. We were escorted off of Splash and Snow White, the rest we had to wait on the ride till it restarted.
 
Earlier this year, I was at DHS and on Tower of Terror. Got on the ride and it started. We got up to the room where we go forward. We started to go forward and right before we reached the doors to start our "drop" sequence, the lights came on. As we were stuck, everyone in our elevator could hear the people in the elevator that was in the drop sequence singing "Let It Go" and other Disney songs. We would cheer and clap after they were done. Also, there was a CM that came over the speaker about 5 times saying..."Look to your left. We can see you." This continued for about 20 minutes before we were evacuated off our elevator, walked over the area that our elevator just went straight, and into another elevator to go back down. Lets just say getting into another elevator to go down was a little freaky. We would get 3 fastpasses to use later that evening or the next day in another park since it was late. Also, since Tower of Terror is operated on two separate systems, we were able to walk to the other side, get on another elevator, and ride the attraction. We were all very happy when we got past the point that we previously broke down on.

Definitely one of the best things to ever happen on any Disney attraction that I have witnessed. :)
 
Pirates at WDW, that song, it just wouldn't end. Finally, they turned the sound off, and then back on again for another 10+ minutes before we actually started moving. Grand total over 45 min stuck in the same spot on the ride, with most of it being subjected to that mind numbing song.

We must have both been at WDW at the same time. haha. The good thing though is they gave us fast passes after they let us get off.
 
Stuck on Little Mermaid for so long that we had to evacuate. Also been stuck on HM (who hasn't been??), Test Track, Splash Mountain, TSM, EE, IASM (ugh that song), and the People Mover. I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting. This has happened numerous times on each trip.
 
We got stuck on Dinosaur once, with a poor kid in the same car as us that was terrified even before it stopped. We were just sitting there in pitch darkness, and the car was still bouncing around as if the ride was still going.
 
Wow - I was never stuck like anyone on this thread
Sorry you had a bad experience - nice to get extra fast passes ;)
 
Buzz stopped at the end for a few minutes when I went in 2016. There was a CM over the PA saying it got stuck, but nothing major. We got moving in no time.
