They wait 2 hours before starting to evac a train stuck on the hill? Ouch.

They take a funicular up the side of the track, and unload the train one row at a time.

Give or take. I didn’t have them on a stopwatch. Just noticed it stuck on the lift hill while I was sitting on the boat. The train is still sitting on the lift hill.

That would be more than mildly traumatizing.

Are they still having motor issues? I thought they got a new motor last winter

I talked to a couple on the train who said they were stuck on MF lift hill for 2 hours. They said that they were hooked up with Fast Lane Plus, all day dining, and a bunch of skip the line passes. They seemed ok with it, although the guy said he desperate need to use the commode lol.

As I said on another thread, when I was taking the train to Frontiertown there were 6 maintenance guys working on the lift motor.

They did a good job at making them whole. I would hate to be stuck on a ride and have to use the bathroom. After my visit to Surf Lounge and drinking that Long Island Iced Tea, I had to use the bathroom about 3 or 4 times in an hour.

That would suck, especially if you had been waiting in line for hours. Wonder if the perks are greater for those who actually soil themselves whilst stuck on rides?

Ok, that’s odd....there’s an old bartender trick for bad customers... squirt Visine in their drink and they will need a bathroom visit quickly.

That stuff was strong. Just one of those gave me a bit of a buzz. I also drank some water right after to try to flush out the alcohol so that was certainly a contributor to the bathroom visits.

ROFL

I'm not usually the person that constantly needs to use the bathroom on park visits, just when I drink alcohol.

We visited over Labor Day weekend for the first time this year and rode Millennium in the front and back over the course of a day and a half. You're all smoking crack, Millennium Force was just as butter-smooth and amazing as it was the year it opened.

They must have put all the wheels on facing the right way that day.
