Have You Ever Been Stuck on a Theme Park Ride ?

Ask a Question

I love theme park rides, despite no longer being a youngster

The faster and more thrilling the better for me

Yes , i am one of those with their arms raised on the roller coaster

But i think i would draw the line at being left hanging upside down for half an hour suspended high up in the air, as happened here in Canada

Thank goodness the seat belts were working correctly

I think the worst i experienced was on a water slide where i got stuck half way down and was shunted forward from behind

Have you ever experienced a theme park malfunction ?

When I was a very small child my dad took me on the big wheel at a funfair. Within seconds I was screaming and the wheel had to be brought back down so I could get off. Not stuck as such but it seemed forever before I got back on terra firma. Maybe that's why I hate high bridges, especially driving over QEII bridge at Dartford crossing. I always stick in the middle if I can!

It’s not very common but does happen occasionally along with roll backs on launched rides.

Yes and had to be evacuated I was on a bob sleigh ride so lay down up the incline and they wanted us to get out and walk back down ha ha so I couldn’t even get up out of my cart let alone walk down

to say my legs went was an understatement so I said I am not getting out !!! 3 men later ok so I was walking back down

not been on a high roller coaster since im 54 yr and that’s it for me
