You step out of the train onto your feet,
You step onto your feet!?Anyway, what about the second lift on ID? I don't ride ID enough to notice anything, but how do you get off of that?

I got stuck on MF before. The train just pulled out of the station so we weren't high at all. Thank god i'm afraid of heights.

Iron Dragon has a staircase at both lifts.
ya but were do you go if you walk down the staircase on the second lift?
I was stuck on Raptor on closing day of the 2002 season, it was nearly closing time and we were stopped outside of the station after we had our ride, we were kept there for close to a half hour while the ops cleared the station and closed the ride, then they came out to get us, manually releasing each cars restraints and bringing by a stool to get us down. By the time we were down the rest of the park was closed.
I got stuck on my favorite coaster: Mean Streak. We were there for 35 minutes and had to walk down one of the last hills. I hate heights, so I was scared. We all got a free pass to ride any of the "big" rides without waiting in line, so that wasn't too bad.

I know ID has stairs, but are they really accessable directly from the train. Those trains are hard to get in and out of when you are in the station. I don't see how it's possible to get out of those and onto the stairs.
I got stuck on Shivering Timbers. When the ride was done, my lap bar wouldn't go up so they manually released it. I also got stuck on zack's Zoomer. The bar didn't go down all of the way in my car so they stopped it half way up the lift and i got to secure my lapbar the entire way. Weird cause they happened the same day.
I was stuck on magnums hill for like 10 mins this year thats to only coaster i have been stuck on.

I would not like to be stuck at or near the top of Mil. Force lift hill, and have to walk all the way down. It would be an interesting expierience at the same time though.

You cannot walk down from MF. There is a gas powered car that runs alongside the hill if they need to unload. However, they would only unload on the hill if the cable broke or they couldn't pull the train over for some other reason. Otherwise there is a backup system (I believe it is a gas engine, but it could be an electric generator) that they use to pull the train over and it runs the course until it hits the brakes at the end.
I've gotten stuck on Mamba WOF's hyper, and was on MF this year for an emergency stop because they dispatched the train without someone having their belt fastened. Stopped at least 200 feet up, and they brought up the car with two mechanics and one manager to check out the situation. It was about a 10-20 minute wait...
That'd be pretty scary to be stuck on Millennium Force. I guess TTD would be scarier since it's higher! Joking!

I think that it would be a fun and unforgtting expierience to get stuck on Milennium Force near the top of the lift hill.

My brother and I got stuck on Wicked Twister at the very end. The train was entering the station and I'm guessing the brakes had a bug and just stopped the train half way in the station. I must not complain though because my brother did write a letter and we got free passes to the Top Thrill Dragster.
Userx, yeah i was in the front row, it was in the evening other than being cold with just shorts and a t-shirt on it was fun. Some people were freaked out but most just seemed to enjoy the view.
