We've broken down on 2 rides:

Pinocchio - we broke down in the last room and the clocks drove us mad. Luckily it was only for about 5 minutes.

Snow White - this was the worst as it was for about 20 minutes, it was really hot and it was in a really boring part of the ride where we could only see walls and the odd skeleton.

Quote from: "smurfy74"ive been evacuated from SMM2 just at the launch and all i can say is sitting in the launch position at that angle for a long time is far from comfortable, was exciting though. i did get told off for taking pictures :-)

Did they erase the pictures of your camera or something?

To make people less scared to go on Rock and Roller coaster: You cannot get stuck in the loop. IF the ride is stoped by either automatic or manual e-stop the train will stop either before the loop (from 0 to 48 MPH in 2,6 sec and back to 0 in 1,2 sec, not fun i can assure you) or if you are between 48 - 60 MPH the ride will stop you in zone 3, which is the straight piece of track on top of the first hill after the loop. So nothing to worrie there!

Surely it's impossible to ever stop on the loops since the loops aren't powered - the car goes round them on its own steam so to speak.

Most coasters have designated stop points and unless it's a drastic emergency, the cars ride through until these stop points.

Well, actually, when you get out of the train, there's a door that connects the cannon directly with boarding/station area. So it hasn't been a very long walk for me, but I can imagine that when you get evacuated from the second lifthill, inside the mountain it can be a long walk.
The difficulty is to get out of the train when you are on the 'launch slope' in the canon. You need to grab on to something so you can't fall down. It's pretty strange, as the Cast Members are secured with a line to the side and guests need to get out of the train by themselves.
Got evacuated after 5 minutes, as it was at parks closure. Got a FastPass 101 for the next day though! :)
