73. I was on Space Mountain when it stopped once

Sat Mar 29, 2014, 01:11 AM

Mar 2014

The ride slowed to a stop partway through, and the lights came on.

There were cars stopped at various safety zones throughout the ride.

Someone had to come up and verify that everything was ok (which it was), and then each of the cars had to be push-started to finish the ride (with the lights on). It was kinda cool.

When we got to the boarding zone, we were given the option of getting out or riding again normally. No one got out (Someone in line grumbled about "how come they all get to go again?&quot
