Have you ever been evacuated?

I don't know if it was the occaision that RockNroller refers to above, but we were once evacuated from POTC (I think it was Halloween 2005 or 2006). Our boat "Stalled" on the main up ramp and we just had to wait there stuck at quite an angle while the cast members organised the evacuation. We didn't mind much except it was towards the end of our stay so we didn't have time to go back and make up for the ride we lost.

I have been evacuated from Rock N Roller Coaster, near the very top! :oops:

The music went off a couple of times and the car stopped. The lights came on and we sat there for about 3 or 4 minutes when a couple of cast members climbed up to us.

They talked to everybody individually about what would happen and then started at the front and evacuated everybody one by one - we had to stand to one side until everybody was out of the cars. We were then led led in a long line down to the ground. Unfortunately one person had a bad asthma attack because of the dry ice and needed medical attention before she could be evacuated.

One thing I noticed is that my hands were absolutely black when I got out and it took ages to get them clean - I assume it was residue from the dry ice!

What happened, when was it taken, where you in it? etc.

Off topic, do you happen to have a digital reflex camera?

It was taken last Saturday, in the morning, when I was taking pictures of both the Nautilus and the cannon at the same time. I was trying to catch the takeoff at Space Mountain. And I waited... and waited... till I saw the people walking there. I shot some pictures. This is the best I got. And yes, it was taken with a digital reflex camera: a Canon 350D.

Wow! :shock: That would truly be my dream come true! I hope that happens to me when I go next month!

I don't understand it - I've been on so many rides and roller coasters at loads of different parks yet I have never been evacuated of anything!

Ok, well you often see cast members walk up in the cannon when it's in 101 or in the morning, when you're waiting at the Discoveryland entrance before the rope drop.

I noticed you had a dslr, since you have quite some dust on your sensor. I had some on my sony alpha so purchased a Giottos' Rocket Blower last week, which is awesome to clean the sensor.

Hi

Last Nov We were in Snow White and the car stopped for 5 minutes no body else there then a cast member came and walked us out when all the house lights were on.

It was even more scary for my young daughter

Brervixen · March 06, 2008, 01:03:50 PM

I've been evacuated off the Haunted House in Alton Towers does that count :lol:

Never been off a Disney ride, been stuck for a while on the HM and Splash Mountain, Universe of Energy and Spaceship Earth.

I finally got the evacuation off Rock'n'Roller Coaster that I wanted!

We boarded the Soundtracker, it went round to the launch area, but then we just sat there for ages! Eventually all the lights came on, and the CM's unloaded us off the train from the front. We then had to walk back round to the loading platform and after a few tests all the lights went off again and we got our ride. :lol:

I would rather have been evacuated from the actual roller coaster part, but at least this was something!
