@@simplysaffire6162 I’ve been on rides that have broken down at Disney world, but we never had an in show exit. In 2016 when I last went, the haunted mansion and the little mermaid ride broke down so many times . We rode the haunted mansion ride probably 5-7 times and on three of those rides it broke down 2 times. The cast members said it was due to the weather. The same day the little mermaid ride broke 2 times on one ride. In 2012 the epoct ball broke down once and it was scary as hell
as someone with progressively increasing joint issues (don't use a wheelchair but likely I'll need a cane before I'm 30) the cast member casually mentioning *seventeen flights of stairs* to get off the mountain made me shudder. no one had problems in the clip but I'm curious how someone that did have mobility issues would be gotten out - I'm assuming an elevator is highly likely hidden somewhere for such emergencies but it's kinda difficult for me to picture one fitting in there. though I can't picture the staircase fitting in there either and it demonstrably exists so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The reaction of the jetskier holding Louie when he ripped is pretty great..instant face into hands, then quick right back into character, waving at the audience
@@Roadent1241 I would presume they have a workers' lift somewhere nearby that's just big enough for about 1 or 2 wheelchairs. Parts are heavy, and you can't expect people to haul heavy machinery up 17 flights of stairs. For that to not be present sounds like OHS violation

One of the most frightening experiences of my life (including a tour in Iraq in 2003) was riding "It's a Small World" when right after the ride began the music cut off. If you've ever rode through listening to all of the moving parts and really watching the animatronics, you know what I'm talking about. Like something straight out of a Wes Craven movie.
I herd that if you get stuck on it’s a small world they don’t turn off the music but I went on the ride and I didn’t actually hate it it was pretty fun and I liked the song
That Kite Fail with King Louie losing an arm is basically that one Macy's Parade fail when Barney the Dinosaur got torn at it's side in the infamous year 1997.
I remember riding tower of terror and someone's parents asked a cast member to stop the ride because her son had eye surgery. It stopped right before you move foward to begin the drop. We had to take a real elevator back down to the first floor. That room actually looked crazy cool with the lights on. The technology behind the effects was amazing.

I don't understand why anyone would want a ride to break down. I feel like it would just be disappointing to not be able to experience the full ride the way it's intended.
@@blueflare3848 It's kind of the one thing that annoys me a little about this channel, if I'm honest. To put it bluntly, the people who would tend to be actively happy about a ride breaking down are the people who are rich enough and/or close enough to a Disney resort to go to the parks a lot or at least fairly regularly, so breaking down is a more unusual experience for them than the ride running smoothly. Which is fine, but saying things like "Disney fans are always so excited to get an in-show exit" or "this is the moment every Disney fan wishes for" implies that anyone who *isn't* happy or excited about a ride breaking down isn't a "real" Disney fan; the reality of the situation is that some Disney fans (probably an ever-increasing number, honestly) simply cannot afford multiple or regular trips and would overall much rather experience the ride properly because they literally might not ever get another chance. Claiming a "Disney fan" will celebrate rides breaking down due to its relative rarity than experiencing the ride properly is...well, it rubs me the wrong way because from a certain point of view, it could be read as "you can't be a real Disney fan if you're too poor to go to the parks on the regular". I know whoever narrates these almost certainly doesn't mean it that way but that's how it can occasionally come across, especially regarding in-show exits rather than, say, animatronic malfunctions - and while there's never an excuse to be rude to cast members or maintenance staff over breakdowns and malfunctions or not follow evacuation instructions, let's be real, the average person - even a Disney fan - won't be *happy* about a ride breakdown, especially with how expensive even just a one-off visit to a Disney resort is.
@@blueflare3848 People generally like it when they get to see something that wouldn't normally be shown to them. Plus, they get FastPasses/Lightning Lane to ride again later when it's working again. (Plus, amusement park rides exist at the intersection of engineering and art, so it's cool to see the engineering that goes into the art.)
I've had one breakdown in my life and it was hysterical. Me and my family were riding Winnie the Pooh in WDW and we tripped a mat and broke the ride right as we were in the doorway between bouncing with Tigger and leaving the tree house. We were stuck for about 15-20 minutes since the maintenance people had to manually move our car so we could get out safely. (Most of us are not the smallest people in the world so we weren't able to squeeze out) So once we left and had our fast pass we tried to use it to ride Pirates (this was right after the auction refurbishment) and the Kraken escaped. So we just went back to the hotel with one of the best Disney world memories ever.
One time my cousin and I were on one of the shells together on the Little Mermaid ride and we stopped right underneath Ursula’s eels but they were still talking so whenever the announcement came on we got scared half to death. Luckily, the ride started to work again and we saw the rest of the ride😊
The only in-show exit I’ve ever had was in 2014 on Mike & Sulley. It was so cool walking through the scare floor though, and we were able to get up close and take photos with the Roz animatronic.
The one time I can vividly remember having experienced an in show exit was on Splash Mountain at Disneyland California. We had gotten stuck on the turn right before the first actual drop, and we’re sitting there for about 10 minutes. All the boats in front of us were completely backed up. After about 15 minutes the cast members came to evacuate us, and we got a close up of all the animatronics and scenes from behind. Almost fell in the water since the gap was so wide. Absolutely one of my favorite moments.
I was also on this exact breakdown on Expedition Everest. It was so amazing to be able to do the in show exit. We got to walk through the mountain, and see all the mechanics and hydraulics! Probably the most interesting thing was the fact that there were hair ties on the ground inside the mountain, they had fallen all the way from the top/broken track.
The only ride I ever technically got “evacuated” from was Crush n Gusher at Typhoon Lagoon. The water shut off just as we left the conveyor belt on the launch platform so we didn’t have enough speed to go up the first hill and we slid backwards into the middle of the two hills. Cast members had to open the netting to the side and we walked down the stairs to the bottom of the slide.
You mentioning being stuck on It's A Small World reminded me of when my dad told me about the time he got stuck on the ride. I believe when he was a teenager, he went to the Magic Kingdom as a school trip or with his friends, something along those lines, and he went on It's A Small World and ended up getting stuck for a whole hour. Not too bad, right? Yeah, if the music had stopped. My dad was stuck on that ride for a whole hour listening to the song be played, over and over again. At one point I even learned how to play the theme on piano so I could spite him whenever I wanted to.
These videos are always intriguing; Never been on a failed or in-show-exited-needed experience, so it’s really cool seeing these type of things! I hope one day this could happen, because either one is really cool!
My friend and I got stuck on Expedition Everest once as well, we got stuck when we were supposed to go backwards. It was so cool getting to go inside the mountain and seeing how it all looked and worked!
I got stuck on Expedition Everest in the same location as the video back in 2006 shortly after the ride first opened. Someone had a medication bottle in their purse that fell out and landed on the track setting off emergency sensors. We were stuck in that spot for almost 30 mins before being walked down the inside of the mountain
If there's anything we learnt from all these breakdowns and malfuctions, it's 1) people love seeing the behind the scenes of well engineered machines, and 2) people love walking through attractions sometimes more than riding through them. That's why I still believe Walt Disney's original idea for Haunted Mansion will have been popular today where people would just walkthrough the Museum of the Weird. The Great Movie Ride's final show looked to be a hit among park goers on that day where they just walked through the attraction and not ride it.
That's why horror maze in Hong Kong Disneyland are so popular. There's a maze before was inspired by the original idea of haunted mansion. People spend 2 hours on the line for that.
That's what I liked about Shrek on Ice when I was in middle school. We just got to walk through the building and look at all the cool ice sculptures based on Shrek The Halls.
I've never experienced an in-show exit and Im always so stinkin' jealous of the people who have experienced in-show exits. It seems so cool seeing what goes on behind the scenes, and its been a dream of mine to have a in-show exit. Fingers crossed tho.
When I was at disneys Hollywood studios I also had a breakdown in Rise of the Resistance and we were stuck for 30 minutes while an alarm was going off, until we got an in show exit through a secret staircase! It was so cool!
I just went to Cars Land in California Adventure, and the Radiator Spring Raceways is actually really out of shape. Most of the animatronics weren't functioning like Sheriff's mouth wasn't moving, Mater didn't back up as he was telling you about the racing experience either. But it was still my favorite ride
It seems like that happens to those animatronics more often now :( last time I rode as well Sheriff wasn’t moving his mouth and Mater didn’t move at all
@@AlexPerrine Unfortunately no, I almost dropped my phone on that ride! But I did submit one where we got stuck on Ariel's undersea Adventure. Scuttle wouldn't stop talking. It felt like eternity
@@TPMvids Yeah! They also changed alot of the ride's special effects and sound! The scene where Mac honks to alert you (jumpscare), you can now see him in the dark, And his horn is quiet. I hope they fix up the ride, its definitely a must see attraction.
i think its really cool how the cast is always so calm and explains what happens. For it would be very calming to hear what the cast has to say about the breakdown (and interesting) and not something like "it will be alright" without any explanation. Even if it something like "we will wiggle you free" XD
I was stuck on its a small world 7 years ago at the very end. All the animatronics were singing the song in different languages for 15 minutes. Pure hell...
On the Expedition Everest malfunction, the malfunction was very likely the turn-table. My guess would be the computer never alert from the sensor confirming successful flip of the turntable. It's important to remember that most ride "breakdowns" are due to sensor errors, and nothing really broke down. The way most thrill rides are built, a full restart of the computer is required to bypass any sensor faults. In the case of complex rides with track switching elements, I would assume the best procedure is to evacuate the ride to ensure no accidental collisions with the turntables.
I used to watch TPMvids all the time but i stopped for like a year. and now i come across this video and i am in it! I was like 10 in the peter pan ride through in the dark. cool surprise
Wow! I would love more of that last boat evacuation because it was the first time I have discovered a boat stop/ hydraulic malfunction and subsequent in show exit. Fascinating!
I've been on one of the Rise of the resistance stops and where we got stuck was RIGHT before going into the pod. We couldn't unbuckle so it was really scary, but it was fun to see the behind-the-scenes! lucky me got to go on 3 times. (bc of my parents)
The only in-show exit I’ve been a part of so far was Alice In Wonderland. Unfortunately it was right at the end by the tea party so I only got to walk past that and the cake, but it really is so cool to see how small and relatively simple that ride is! The pictures I got are some of my more treasured Disney souvenirs.
With the breakdown of Rise of the Resistance it is nice to see that in case of a breakdown the First Order and the Resistance can work together after all.
Ngl the cast member that walked the birthday boy through Ariel’s adventure really warmed my heart. It’s so nice to see people voluntarily go out of their way for the experience of another, I feel like it’s not common anymore. That would’ve made my day as that child or the parent
I've never experienced an in-show exit, so they are always interesting to see! The only ride fail I've experienced was on Ariel Undersea Adventure, my clam shell didn't turn and I experienced the whole thing from a stuck angle. It was fine, just boring. Got to ride again in a working vehicle right away though!
A very timely video for me because yesterday I was at Disneyland, and I noticed a few things. First and foremost, I got my first (true) evac! We were on Incredicoaster and were evaced after sitting on the launch track for about 15 minutes (which must be theme park standard because I work at Magic Mountain and I know that after 15, we call an auto evac). It was awesome cause me and my best friend perform evacs all the time but this is the first time we were evaced ourselves and we were really excited. Second - I have noticed that for about 3 weeks or so, Radiator Springs Racers has had a lot of issues. Last time I was at DCA (3 weeks ago) Sheriff and Mater were static whereas they would normally be moving; Luigi's mouth at the starting line was out of sync with his motion (though this is actually somewhat normal); and Lightning's mouth at the end was completely off. This time around, only Sheriff and Mater were still static, but also the curtains that would normally reveal our whitewall tires in Luigi's did not open. Third - apparently trying to unlock Chewie mode to quickly on Smuggler's Run will give your cockpit an error. At least, that's what it seems like because we tried that yesterday and were almost immediately told to board a different cockpit. Lastly, Rise broke down twice the last time I went. Once right during our briefing from Rey, and then the second time when we were on the transport ship. That was technically an evac for us because we were escorted into a backstage area. So yeah, things have been happening pretty frequently at Disneyland as of late. Believe me, it's not uncommon for all theme park rides to go down at least once in a day, but it's pretty interesting how often I've personally experienced it in my last couple of visits to Disneyland.
The last time I went to Disneyland (early April) my sister and I kept going in the single rider line for splash mountain. I saw that almost every frog animatronic had malfunctioning eyes. It was super creepy, and made the ride feel so eerie.
I have been to Disney a lot of times and I have never experienced a ride break down or an animatronic break down but I really like watching these videos so thank you very much for uploading these videos 😁
The first time I rode Expedition Everest, I got stuck up RIGHT when it stops for a moment before you go down backwards. We were up there for at least 10 minutes. The timing was just impeccable.
Great video as always! Me and my family had a breakdown on Radiator Springs Racer back in 2021. We were at the end of the ride and near the area where you board off the ride and it stopped for about 20 minutes. A few cars up (one that just got boarded) , I noticed that it almost seemed like there was a “truck” on the car that opened and they were wires in that truck. I got a video of it, but it was too late and the car was out of frame because it had gotten pushed out of view at that time :(. We did have to wait for a cast member to get to our car and get us out and it was a great experience even if we didn’t get an in-show exit.
i just submitted a breakdown or more likely a temporary one on spaceship earth it was my first ever breakdown that happened for epcot it was very cool while staying inside the globe with the show lights
I love these videos! I don't go to Disney often so I don't get to experience these. I don't have a video but when I was little, I got stuck on the pirates of the Caribbean ride for two hours. Right after the waterfall it stopped.
13:25 That exact hypothetical happened to me when I rode it's a small world about 10 years ago. They had loaded too many boats and so they turned off the currect/tracks that move the boats. We were stuck in there not moving for 30 minutes. I hate it's a small ride so much now!
My mom and I got stuck on Splash Mountain right before the lift hill to the drop, and we had to listen to the vultures monologue for 7 minutes before the ride got going again. It was the highlight of that day.
In January my family and I were riding Indiana Jones: Temple of the Forbidden Eye, and the ride broke down right after Mara (the mask looking thing on the wall for those of you who don't know) had said, "You looked into my eyes! Your path now leads to the Gates of Doom!" Right after that was when the ride broke down. We sat there for thirty minutes (no Cast Members came to let us out), but then we continued the ride. After the ride, the Cast Members let us go on it again without leaving our transports, and thankfully, the ride didn't break down that time! It was a great experience for us to be honest.
I got suck on expedition Everest this July , but at the very top, where the track is broken, we were stuck for about 30 minutes! The funny thing is that we got stuck earlier for about 30 seconds at one of the first turns. When we were finally stuck for good, we had to get escorted down inside the mountain, it was pretty cool!
I've been in a few breakdowns in my life, but the three I remember most are in 2006 and 2013. It was my first-ever visit to WDW, and our first day was at EPCOT. On our first ride on Test Track (the old GM version), the ride broke down in the Heat Room. Fortunately, they shut off the heatlamps, and while stuck, we started noticing all the details, including a Hidden Mickey made out of donuts. There was no In-Show Exit, and when we got back to the loading area, they let us go through again to experience the ride uninterrupted. Towards the end of our trip, me and my dad went on Body Wars. It was unsurprisingly a walk-on since the entire Wonders of Life Pavilion was on its deathbed. We got in the simulator, and it was cast members' birthday, so they played audio of Goofy singing "Happy Birthday To You". The film starts and...the shield goes back up abruptly. We were stuck in there while the other simulators cycled through, and to keep us entertained, they started piping "A Pirate's Life for Me" into the cabin (I like to think they directly spliced into the audio control over at the Magic Kingdom). After the other simulators cycled, we were rescued, put into another simulator, and the ride went without any further issue. The third was a breakdown on Peter Pan's Flight at Disneyland in 2013. You can go on my channel to see the two-part video (be aware that I had just received an iPhone, and therefore there's a lot of needless commentary from me and my dad). Other breakdowns I can remember include when we got stuck on Toy Story Mania at DCA just after the screens showing the scores, another where we got stuck on Hyperspace Mountain RIGHT when we returned to the loading area (they still use the same 1977 breakdown spiel for the overlay), plenty of stops on Omnimover rides (I remember on one occasion, Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters at Disneyland was stopped long enough for the safety rails to pop up, and back in 2019, there was a lengthy stop on Haunted Mansion caused by an apparent medical emergency at the unload, just after me and my family had boarded). Every time I ride Space Mountain, I always will it to break down so I can ride with the lights on. To date, no such luck.
So about Everest, I was on with my sister and the ride stoped right after the yeti pulled the track but it didn’t move for around 5 minutes but finally it started up again, not sure what happened but I’m sure it was nothing big
That kid getting to be on a ride breakdown on his birthday when he loves watching them, that brought me to tears. Its like the universe gave them the gift they wanted.
I have experienced a breakdown on Splash mountain at Disney World! Me and my dad were about to go up the ramp onto the drop when the boat stopped and we waited there for about 10 minutes until the ride started back. Sadly I did not get a video of it but it was still a fun experience!
I was at the Magic Kingdom in March of this year, and my ride vehicle stopped at the ballroom scene in the Haunted Mansion. I was just about to whip out my phone when a cast member announced that the ride would be moving again, and my dreams were ultimately crushed. I did have fun while I was there, though.
I work at Everest and it actually makes sense that it hasn’t been featured much on this channel for breakdowns because when we get to each train, we have to ask the guests to put their phones away and be able to follow our instructions safely. The inside of the mountain can be very complicated to find your way through and we don’t want anyone getting lost or hurt.
Hey TPM! I wanted to answer your question and I would rather listen to Small World 24/7 any day. The ride is LITTERALY one of my very top favorites!!!❤
I love how that maintenance guy explained things to the guests. Being honest is great way to keep them calm and give an idea of how long it might take.

Thank you for that. You lost out on a good chunk of your day at the park, but gave us all a glimpse into a once in a lifetime malfunction.

One time my cousin and I were on one of the shells together on the Little Mermaid ride and we stopped right underneath Ursula’s eels but they were still talking so whenever the announcement came on we got scared half to death. Luckily, the ride started to work again and we saw the rest of the ride😊
Well that's good did you have fun?
Dude that ride stopped literally four times when I went on it as a kid, it's just really janky
The only in-show exit I’ve ever had was in 2014 on Mike & Sulley. It was so cool walking through the scare floor though, and we were able to get up close and take photos with the Roz animatronic.
The one time I can vividly remember having experienced an in show exit was on Splash Mountain at Disneyland California. We had gotten stuck on the turn right before the first actual drop, and we’re sitting there for about 10 minutes. All the boats in front of us were completely backed up. After about 15 minutes the cast members came to evacuate us, and we got a close up of all the animatronics and scenes from behind. Almost fell in the water since the gap was so wide. Absolutely one of my favorite moments.
I was also on this exact breakdown on Expedition Everest. It was so amazing to be able to do the in show exit. We got to walk through the mountain, and see all the mechanics and hydraulics! Probably the most interesting thing was the fact that there were hair ties on the ground inside the mountain, they had fallen all the way from the top/broken track.
The only ride I ever technically got “evacuated” from was Crush n Gusher at Typhoon Lagoon. The water shut off just as we left the conveyor belt on the launch platform so we didn’t have enough speed to go up the first hill and we slid backwards into the middle of the two hills. Cast members had to open the netting to the side and we walked down the stairs to the bottom of the slide.
That sounded so interesting until I looked it up and now I dub that my worst nightmare oh my gosh
We was crush n gusher at typhoon lagoon it was thunder lighting we have this close
You mentioning being stuck on It's A Small World reminded me of when my dad told me about the time he got stuck on the ride. I believe when he was a teenager, he went to the Magic Kingdom as a school trip or with his friends, something along those lines, and he went on It's A Small World and ended up getting stuck for a whole hour. Not too bad, right? Yeah, if the music had stopped. My dad was stuck on that ride for a whole hour listening to the song be played, over and over again. At one point I even learned how to play the theme on piano so I could spite him whenever I wanted to.
Man i would definitely need therapy after that
😂😂😂
That would be my worst nightmare.
13:51 it’s almost like we are stuck underwater with the attraction suddenly stopped
The little kid being so excited that he was part of an in show exit will forever make my heart happy
😎
These videos are always intriguing; Never been on a failed or in-show-exited-needed experience, so it’s really cool seeing these type of things!
I hope one day this could happen, because either one is really cool!
My friend and I got stuck on Expedition Everest once as well, we got stuck when we were supposed to go backwards. It was so cool getting to go inside the mountain and seeing how it all looked and worked!
Hey the same thing happened to me my dad and my friend too. Imagine if we all got stuck on the same ride of Everest.
I got stuck on Expedition Everest in the same location as the video back in 2006 shortly after the ride first opened. Someone had a medication bottle in their purse that fell out and landed on the track setting off emergency sensors. We were stuck in that spot for almost 30 mins before being walked down the inside of the mountain
I can honestly believe you guys with the fact that "There is no experience like an In-Show Exit". We all love those
Also, 13:54
If there's anything we learnt from all these breakdowns and malfuctions, it's 1) people love seeing the behind the scenes of well engineered machines, and 2) people love walking through attractions sometimes more than riding through them. That's why I still believe Walt Disney's original idea for Haunted Mansion will have been popular today where people would just walkthrough the Museum of the Weird. The Great Movie Ride's final show looked to be a hit among park goers on that day where they just walked through the attraction and not ride it.
That's why horror maze in Hong Kong Disneyland are so popular. There's a maze before was inspired by the original idea of haunted mansion. People spend 2 hours on the line for that.
Learnt?
That's what I liked about Shrek on Ice when I was in middle school. We just got to walk through the building and look at all the cool ice sculptures based on Shrek The Halls.

I've never experienced an in-show exit and Im always so stinkin' jealous of the people who have experienced in-show exits. It seems so cool seeing what goes on behind the scenes, and its been a dream of mine to have a in-show exit. Fingers crossed tho.
1 year later, has it happened yet?
@@emqtychxir Sadly no, but hopefully next time I go.
@@thegreatestcomplainer 😭
“Rise of the Resistance is such a masterpiece.”
Well, yes, but only when you’re in and on it instead of 6 hours of line waiting 😂
When I was at disneys Hollywood studios I also had a breakdown in Rise of the Resistance and we were stuck for 30 minutes while an alarm was going off, until we got an in show exit through a secret staircase! It was so cool!

"SOMETHING AS STOPPED US NO POWER 😌"
I just went to Cars Land in California Adventure, and the Radiator Spring Raceways is actually really out of shape. Most of the animatronics weren't functioning like Sheriff's mouth wasn't moving, Mater didn't back up as he was telling you about the racing experience either. But it was still my favorite ride
Did you record that, TPMVids would really like it.
It seems like that happens to those animatronics more often now :( last time I rode as well Sheriff wasn’t moving his mouth and Mater didn’t move at all
@@AlexPerrine Unfortunately no, I almost dropped my phone on that ride! But I did submit one where we got stuck on Ariel's undersea Adventure. Scuttle wouldn't stop talking. It felt like eternity
@@TPMvids that could mean that Cars Land isn’t being taken care of
@@TPMvids Yeah! They also changed alot of the ride's special effects and sound! The scene where Mac honks to alert you (jumpscare), you can now see him in the dark, And his horn is quiet. I hope they fix up the ride, its definitely a must see attraction.
i think its really cool how the cast is always so calm and explains what happens. For it would be very calming to hear what the cast has to say about the breakdown (and interesting) and not something like "it will be alright" without any explanation. Even if it something like "we will wiggle you free" XD
At Mickey and Minnie's runaway railway, they were having technical difficulties and I gotta say that this is perfect timing
14:05 - "Nothing can stop us now~"
"More like 'something has stopped us now~'"
LMAO 😂 I also love their energy just laughing it all off.
I was stuck on its a small world 7 years ago at the very end. All the animatronics were singing the song in different languages for 15 minutes. Pure hell...
DUDE!!! YOUR SINGING MIKEY IMPRESSION IS UNBELIEVABLE
The rare break down like the Frozen one is AMAZING! 😆
I would give everything to experience this 😂
On the Expedition Everest malfunction, the malfunction was very likely the turn-table. My guess would be the computer never alert from the sensor confirming successful flip of the turntable.
It's important to remember that most ride "breakdowns" are due to sensor errors, and nothing really broke down. The way most thrill rides are built, a full restart of the computer is required to bypass any sensor faults. In the case of complex rides with track switching elements, I would assume the best procedure is to evacuate the ride to ensure no accidental collisions with the turntables.
Guy: Is this some kind of way they do Universal?
Frozen music: *THOU DOTH SPOKETH THE TONGUE OF THE DARK NETHERS.*
I used to watch TPMvids all the time but i stopped for like a year. and now i come across this video and i am in it! I was like 10 in the peter pan ride through in the dark. cool surprise
Wow! The last one took forever to get those riders evacuated. Very rare that one.
Wow! I would love more of that last boat evacuation because it was the first time I have discovered a boat stop/ hydraulic malfunction and subsequent in show exit. Fascinating!
I've been on one of the Rise of the resistance stops and where we got stuck was RIGHT before going into the pod. We couldn't unbuckle so it was really scary, but it was fun to see the behind-the-scenes! lucky me got to go on 3 times. (bc of my parents)
I would have clapped for the boat guys. What a show-stopping save
The only in-show exit I’ve been a part of so far was Alice In Wonderland. Unfortunately it was right at the end by the tea party so I only got to walk past that and the cake, but it really is so cool to see how small and relatively simple that ride is! The pictures I got are some of my more treasured Disney souvenirs.
Thanks!
With the breakdown of Rise of the Resistance it is nice to see that in case of a breakdown the First Order and the Resistance can work together after all.
Applause for TPM Vids Mickey impression 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
our favorite Canadian Disney RUclipsr is back with another video!
Ngl the cast member that walked the birthday boy through Ariel’s adventure really warmed my heart. It’s so nice to see people voluntarily go out of their way for the experience of another, I feel like it’s not common anymore. That would’ve made my day as that child or the parent
I've never experienced an in-show exit, so they are always interesting to see!
The only ride fail I've experienced was on Ariel Undersea Adventure, my clam shell didn't turn and I experienced the whole thing from a stuck angle. It was fine, just boring. Got to ride again in a working vehicle right away though!
5:20 imagine the mom telling the staff “can you put me on a ride most likely to break down” lmao
A very timely video for me because yesterday I was at Disneyland, and I noticed a few things.
First and foremost, I got my first (true) evac! We were on Incredicoaster and were evaced after sitting on the launch track for about 15 minutes (which must be theme park standard because I work at Magic Mountain and I know that after 15, we call an auto evac). It was awesome cause me and my best friend perform evacs all the time but this is the first time we were evaced ourselves and we were really excited.
Second - I have noticed that for about 3 weeks or so, Radiator Springs Racers has had a lot of issues. Last time I was at DCA (3 weeks ago) Sheriff and Mater were static whereas they would normally be moving; Luigi's mouth at the starting line was out of sync with his motion (though this is actually somewhat normal); and Lightning's mouth at the end was completely off. This time around, only Sheriff and Mater were still static, but also the curtains that would normally reveal our whitewall tires in Luigi's did not open.
Third - apparently trying to unlock Chewie mode to quickly on Smuggler's Run will give your cockpit an error. At least, that's what it seems like because we tried that yesterday and were almost immediately told to board a different cockpit.
Lastly, Rise broke down twice the last time I went. Once right during our briefing from Rey, and then the second time when we were on the transport ship. That was technically an evac for us because we were escorted into a backstage area.
So yeah, things have been happening pretty frequently at Disneyland as of late. Believe me, it's not uncommon for all theme park rides to go down at least once in a day, but it's pretty interesting how often I've personally experienced it in my last couple of visits to Disneyland.
the best one i ever saw on youtube was magic mountain breaking down. they turned on the lights and you saw the treack. that was cool!
I love how excited that kid was on the Peter Pan ride because they got to film a unique breakdown evac and knew they'd get on TPMvids X'D
Thanks for making me smile 😊
YOUR MICKEY IMPRESSION MADE MY DAY
The last time I went to Disneyland (early April) my sister and I kept going in the single rider line for splash mountain. I saw that almost every frog animatronic had malfunctioning eyes. It was super creepy, and made the ride feel so eerie.
6:55
I love that you can see the cast member face plant in the corner lol, they must be thinking "oh no, I'm so getting fired"
Amazing how the guests are also pretty chill about it 👏
Everyone seems very calm and that's important+really cool to see
I have been to Disney a lot of times and I have never experienced a ride break down or an animatronic break down but I really like watching these videos so thank you very much for uploading these videos 😁
I love these kinds of videos because my dream is to break down on one of the rides!!!😁
The first time I rode Expedition Everest, I got stuck up RIGHT when it stops for a moment before you go down backwards. We were up there for at least 10 minutes. The timing was just impeccable.
YAYYY. Always looking forward to your next video!! Thank you for keeping us updated and entertained!
There's something about your voice combined with the music and clips that make me feel just as good as if I were at Disney World!
Great video as always! Me and my family had a breakdown on Radiator Springs Racer back in 2021. We were at the end of the ride and near the area where you board off the ride and it stopped for about 20 minutes. A few cars up (one that just got boarded) , I noticed that it almost seemed like there was a “truck” on the car that opened and they were wires in that truck. I got a video of it, but it was too late and the car was out of frame because it had gotten pushed out of view at that time :(. We did have to wait for a cast member to get to our car and get us out and it was a great experience even if we didn’t get an in-show exit.
i just submitted a breakdown or more likely a temporary one on spaceship earth it was my first ever breakdown that happened for epcot it was very cool while staying inside the globe with the show lights
I love these videos! I don't go to Disney often so I don't get to experience these. I don't have a video but when I was little, I got stuck on the pirates of the Caribbean ride for two hours. Right after the waterfall it stopped.
The sheer happiness I get when TPMVids uploads Disney stuff is shocking. I am a giant Disney fan and these videos make me the happiest boy around!
13:25
That exact hypothetical happened to me when I rode it's a small world about 10 years ago. They had loaded too many boats and so they turned off the currect/tracks that move the boats. We were stuck in there not moving for 30 minutes. I hate it's a small ride so much now!
I LOVE elsa and her ride's breakdown is my favorite on this video. Thanx Daniel and person who sent it to him
My mom and I got stuck on Splash Mountain right before the lift hill to the drop, and we had to listen to the vultures monologue for 7 minutes before the ride got going again. It was the highlight of that day.
In January my family and I were riding Indiana Jones: Temple of the Forbidden Eye, and the ride broke down right after Mara (the mask looking thing on the wall for those of you who don't know) had said, "You looked into my eyes! Your path now leads to the Gates of Doom!" Right after that was when the ride broke down. We sat there for thirty minutes (no Cast Members came to let us out), but then we continued the ride. After the ride, the Cast Members let us go on it again without leaving our transports, and thankfully, the ride didn't break down that time! It was a great experience for us to be honest.
Your video’s always make me laugh and smile :D
I got suck on expedition Everest this July , but at the very top, where the track is broken, we were stuck for about 30 minutes! The funny thing is that we got stuck earlier for about 30 seconds at one of the first turns. When we were finally stuck for good, we had to get escorted down inside the mountain, it was pretty cool!
I've been in a few breakdowns in my life, but the three I remember most are in 2006 and 2013. It was my first-ever visit to WDW, and our first day was at EPCOT. On our first ride on Test Track (the old GM version), the ride broke down in the Heat Room. Fortunately, they shut off the heatlamps, and while stuck, we started noticing all the details, including a Hidden Mickey made out of donuts. There was no In-Show Exit, and when we got back to the loading area, they let us go through again to experience the ride uninterrupted.
Towards the end of our trip, me and my dad went on Body Wars. It was unsurprisingly a walk-on since the entire Wonders of Life Pavilion was on its deathbed. We got in the simulator, and it was cast members' birthday, so they played audio of Goofy singing "Happy Birthday To You". The film starts and...the shield goes back up abruptly. We were stuck in there while the other simulators cycled through, and to keep us entertained, they started piping "A Pirate's Life for Me" into the cabin (I like to think they directly spliced into the audio control over at the Magic Kingdom). After the other simulators cycled, we were rescued, put into another simulator, and the ride went without any further issue.
The third was a breakdown on Peter Pan's Flight at Disneyland in 2013. You can go on my channel to see the two-part video (be aware that I had just received an iPhone, and therefore there's a lot of needless commentary from me and my dad).
Other breakdowns I can remember include when we got stuck on Toy Story Mania at DCA just after the screens showing the scores, another where we got stuck on Hyperspace Mountain RIGHT when we returned to the loading area (they still use the same 1977 breakdown spiel for the overlay), plenty of stops on Omnimover rides (I remember on one occasion, Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters at Disneyland was stopped long enough for the safety rails to pop up, and back in 2019, there was a lengthy stop on Haunted Mansion caused by an apparent medical emergency at the unload, just after me and my family had boarded).
Every time I ride Space Mountain, I always will it to break down so I can ride with the lights on. To date, no such luck.
Then that ruins the point of riding space mountain.
He’s so under rated
So about Everest, I was on with my sister and the ride stoped right after the yeti pulled the track but it didn’t move for around 5 minutes but finally it started up again, not sure what happened but I’m sure it was nothing big
maybe someone with a wheelchair or a scooter had to get on and since you were sorta close to the unloading area you had to stop?
@@kaylawilliams5486 oh yeah
Number 4 at 11:03 is my favorite. The woman is riding with 2 kids but is talking to the animatronic the whole time! LOL
I LOVE RIDE BREAKDOWN VIDEOS!! YES
Frozen ever after!!!
That kid getting to be on a ride breakdown on his birthday when he loves watching them, that brought me to tears. Its like the universe gave them the gift they wanted.
Cool 😎 I wish a ride breakdown what happened at Disneyland to me that would be awesome 😎
13:05 a hearty welcome from Walyrin
I have experienced a breakdown on Splash mountain at Disney World! Me and my dad were about to go up the ramp onto the drop when the boat stopped and we waited there for about 10 minutes until the ride started back. Sadly I did not get a video of it but it was still a fun experience!
14:08 OMG!! @TPMvids That voice imitation actually made me laugh!!🤣🤣
I got stuck at the exact same part of Frozen Ever After. It was really interesting seeing them drain the water.
Omg the first video was sent in by my sister I started freaking out that's so cool
the frozen one is so interesting, it's cool to see how the ride system works
Yes! I love you’re breakdown and malfunction videos! Thank you!!!!
2:39 looks like it’s the first breakdown for exhibition Everest ride for this clip
The Rise Of The Resistance is my favorite ride! So seeing what it looks like with the lights on is super cool! Honestly, I find this fascinating!
13:15 I wonder if they’d like to welcome us...
6:57 It’s the Jetski guy putting his face in his hands for me 😂😂😂
6:09 look at that the kite of king Louie has been knocked out after failing to catch the wind
At 6:50 when the monkey ripped the cast member on the back of the jet ski look so disappointed and putting his hands on his helmet. 😂
I was at the Magic Kingdom in March of this year, and my ride vehicle stopped at the ballroom scene in the Haunted Mansion. I was just about to whip out my phone when a cast member announced that the ride would be moving again, and my dreams were ultimately crushed. I did have fun while I was there, though.
I work at Everest and it actually makes sense that it hasn’t been featured much on this channel for breakdowns because when we get to each train, we have to ask the guests to put their phones away and be able to follow our instructions safely. The inside of the mountain can be very complicated to find your way through and we don’t want anyone getting lost or hurt.
16:20 They had to let it go.
Those kite fails are AMAZING!
I thought they were CG at first!
It's cool to see dark rides when the lights are on, but then you notice how unimpressive it looks. 😆
Hey TPM! I wanted to answer your question and I would rather listen to Small World 24/7 any day. The ride is LITTERALY one of my very top favorites!!!❤
