Worst Rides To Get Stuck On...

Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-12

[00:00:03]Welcome to For Your Amusement, a theme park podcast that aims to exhaustively evaluate the world's most popular theme park attractions to determine if they are world class. I'm Ryan Bgara.

[00:00:14]>> I'm Byron Moren. And for today's episode, we are going to be doing something very silly. We are going to be ranking the worst 10 rides to get stuck on. And you know, we'll we'll name the ride and we'll talk about the spec uh specific the specific places on the ride that are are truly the worst.

[00:00:32]>> The last 10 rides you want to get stuck on.

[00:00:34]>> That's correct. That's probably the best way to say it. These are the last 10 rides you would like to get stuck on.

[00:00:38]>> Now, I will admit I realized that there's a lot more rides that I would be okay getting stuck on than rides that I don't want to get stuck on.

[00:00:46]>> That was also something that I was running into when I was making my list.

[00:00:49]And we are going to be naming I guess dishonorable mentions in this case is a good thing because those are rides it's like hey it would be kind of good to get stuck here.

[00:00:56]>> Yeah it turns out most rides I would be like hey this is like there are so many other places I'd rather not be.

[00:01:01]>> That's kind of it's kind of neat. And then obviously we have some honorable mentions of the ones that don't make our list. Now, normally when we do these list episodes, we do an aggregate list, but for this one, because it's so wacky and variable, we're actually going to have our own individual top 10 list that we're going to be reveal re revealing to each other. So, this is very exciting.

[00:01:21]Let's just get straight into it. Let's start let's start off with your number 10. Number 10. And this is a little more of an objective one because I think between you and me, Ryan, we actually wouldn't mind getting stuck on this ride, but I think the majority of people would have a really hard time getting stuck on this ride. I'm going with the cat in the hat.

[00:01:38]>> Look at me. Look at me. I'm the cat.

[00:01:41]>> OH MY GOD.

[00:01:42]>> I think that would be a nightmare for a lot of people.

[00:01:44]>> Oh man, I didn't even consider that.

[00:01:46]That would rule.

[00:01:49]>> I would think that would be awesome.

[00:01:51]>> I think we would find it funny. I don't think a lot of people would find it funny.

[00:01:54]>> I think I would find it extremely funny.

[00:01:56]Depending on which room you're in, there's so many rooms to get stuck in.

[00:01:59]>> I think like no matter where you get stuck, >> it's chaos.

[00:02:02]>> It's going to be a lot. And there's like a caffeine of noises that are just torturing you or delighting you if you're me. Like the room where they try to kill you with the piano.

[00:02:09]>> I was gonna say like a loop of the piano killing you.

[00:02:12]>> Yeah. Or like the the spinning room is would be tough. I guess your vehicle wouldn't be spinning. Any room where you see the thing one and thing two guys doing their thing.

[00:02:20]>> OH, I FORGOT ABOUT THESE GUYS. LOOK AT THEIR LITTLE FEET GO.

[00:02:23]>> It might it might be fun for the first like 10 minutes. And >> this would be very much like getting stuck in the he lumps and woozles room in the Winnie the Pooh ride.

[00:02:31]>> Mhm.

[00:02:31]>> Equally fun. That one actually not as fun because I don't think any of those characters are as funny. Thing one and thing two, I think they're a riot.

[00:02:38]They're very, very funny, guys. And as I said before, I'd like them to be my sons. Anyways, that's a good one. I I like that you were trying to keep some integrity here and be objective. I'm going to have to disagree. I think that one is actually a great ride to get stuck on, but I could see why you would not want to. Um, number 10. This one's going to be pretty down the middle. I don't think anybody's going to I I don't think it's an exciting pick, but I do think when I start to get into it, it's going to be obvious why it's really hard to get stuck on this. I saw a lot of stories about this ride. Uh, and it's Expedition Everest.

[00:03:08]>> Really?

[00:03:09]>> That's right.

[00:03:10]>> Interesting.

[00:03:10]>> There's two points in this ride that you would get stuck on that are particularly awful.

[00:03:16]>> Okay.

[00:03:16]>> One is the giant lift hill that's on the outside of the mountain. This is the one you that you know you really see from all parts of the park. And as such, it means it's pretty much you're getting baked by the sun.

[00:03:27]>> It's a great view, though.

[00:03:29]>> Yeah. But if you're in that Florida area in the summer and you're stuck there for 30 minutes or an hour, like I saw some people on Reddit describing.

[00:03:36]>> Uhhuh.

[00:03:36]>> That sounds awful. It would take some time for them to get you off of it, too, I believe. Especially because of the lift hill.

[00:03:42]>> Well, they got the uh the special railing for that lift hill, though.

[00:03:45]>> Yeah, but it would actually be a pretty uh Well, I guess it doesn't really I don't think it they don't bring it down and up anymore cuz that was like the nifty thing about it. like they didn't want to break the immersion.

[00:03:54]>> Yeah.

[00:03:54]>> So, they had a uh >> a guard rail that would only come up when needed, which is like a rare thing on roller coasters, but now every time I see Expedition Everest, they just have it up. But the thing too is like even with that guardrail there, you're walking down kind of like I would imagine like a flimsy metal staircase.

[00:04:11]It's not exactly going to be the most comfortable walk down, especially if you're afraid of heights.

[00:04:14]>> Okay, this that's honestly the second worst spot to get stuck on the ride. the first worst spot. And I've actually been stuck here before, so I can attest to this, and I've I saw some people online who've also been stuck here. It's right before you drop backwards after the Yeti has torn the track apart in the shadow animation and you're >> Oh, before you go back forward, right?

[00:04:33]>> Or which whenever it's pitch black in the ride and you're about to go backwards, you don't know where you are.

[00:04:39]You don't know when the ride is going to start.

[00:04:40]>> It's when you're about to go forward when you're like stationary.

[00:04:43]>> Yeah.

[00:04:44]>> And the like Yeah. when the projection of the Yeti ripping it apart cuz you start going backwards when you're outside.

[00:04:49]>> That's right. Yes.

[00:04:50]>> And then you hit the brakes and the switch track kicks again before you go down the big >> Yeah. Wherever that actual switch happens, that's where I've been stuck before. And I remember being extremely disorienting just being in the dark and just hearing the Yeti.

[00:05:05]>> Yeah. If the block section ahead is not clear, that's where they'll hold you for a bit.

[00:05:09]>> They certainly held me there for a bit.

[00:05:11]>> I don't mind it. And I thought I was going to get my guts ripped out by the Yeti. It was just unsettling. That's more of a fear factor as opposed to like uncomfortable. But then again, I guess if you could kind of just close your eyes, it's dark in there. You could kind of just maybe take a little nap, I suppose.

[00:05:24]>> Yeah, I feel like I'm very comfortable.

[00:05:26]>> It's hard to do that though when the yeti ripping apart the track and they don't shut off the the audio loop.

[00:05:31]>> I'm kind of surprised. I thought you like that scary stuff.

[00:05:33]>> I do, but I could that's more like down the middle. I I saw some tales of people talking about this and I've been stuck there before, so I do know it's scary.

[00:05:40]Yeah, there's nothing scarier than being stuck on a coaster with a hungry Yeti or having an empty stomach of your own.

[00:05:46]Luckily for me, I've got these delicious chef prepared gourmet meals by Factor, which are ready to go in just a couple minutes. That's right. I don't have to worry about running to the grocery right now, rumaging through the kitchen, getting all that stuff ready. No, don't got the time, don't got the bandwidth at the moment. Which is why Factor comes in the clutch. For me, healthy eating isn't a willpower problem. It's a setup problem. And with Factor, I'm hitting my nutrition goals this season without the planning, grocery runs, or cooking.

Every meal is crafted with functional ingredients, which includes lean proteins, colorful veggies, whole foods, and healthy fats.

[00:06:32]Factor also bans over 175 ingredients.

Factor meals are also fresh, never frozen, and there's over a 100 rotating weekly meals, including globally inspired flavors like Mediterranean and Asian, so there's always something new to look forward to.

And by all means, please see the website for more details. But I love factor meals and I think you will, too. Meow. Let's go get stuck on more rides. My number nine is this is kind of like a a generalization which is probably why it's uh lower on the list than many would consider, but I put the Zipper or in a more in a more general term like also just carnival rides that are flipping you upside down.

[00:07:47]>> The Zipper specifically cuz we've ridden the Zipper. It's a very popular ride and it obviously has a reputation.

[00:07:52]>> This doesn't seem legal. No, I'm sure many people have died on this route.

[00:08:00]>> Many numerous.

[00:08:01]>> I'm like, well, this is the way it goes.

[00:08:03]>> That's why there's these [ __ ] padded bars here. Look at these bars.

[00:08:05]>> I hope it's strong enough to >> These bars are padded.

[00:08:08]>> I hope it's uh strong enough to save us on impact.

[00:08:12]>> Every safety measure on this ride was ridden in blood.

[00:08:14]>> In addition to the discomfort of sitting in that that cage essentially, and you don't know where you'll be located, so potentially you could be upside down when this thing gets stuck.

[00:08:23]>> And it's not big. It's not that big. If you're on a date, that could get awkward. Or it could be a great bonding experience. It should have been an honorable mention. No, >> no, I don't think that would be a good bonding experience on a date.

[00:08:34]>> No. Uh, being trapped in a coffin. It's basically that that cage that they put Indiana Jones in in the Temple of Doom when they lower him into the pit right before they take his heart.

[00:08:44]>> Oh god. Or when that guy loses his heart.

[00:08:46]>> When they call him his ass.

[00:08:47]>> Oh, I hate those scenes. That scared the [ __ ] out of me as a kid.

[00:08:50]>> Well, that's basically what you're in in the zipper. You're just waiting for that guy to rip your heart out. Uh-huh. But the worst part about it for me personally is because it's traditionally at a fair or carnival of sorts, you're not like in the hands of like say a Disney or Universal type of staff, you might be at the mercy of some high school kid, right? For a little bit. And like these things are, you know, set up like within a matter of hours sometimes.

[00:09:15]I mean, we've seen, we did an episode on the zipper, by the way, which is a whole load of fun. I love doing that episode.

[00:09:20]But we saw plenty of footage of people assembling the zipper.

[00:09:24]>> It's a It's It's called a flat ride because they put it on a flatbed truck.

[00:09:27]>> Yeah.

[00:09:29]>> It's like a transformer. It just like this like a trailer just >> I highly recommend you don't watch them watch videos of them setting up the zipper because it's extremely unsettling to watch these guys with >> If you watch it and you happen to get stuck on the zipper, a lot of thoughts are going to be running through your head, which is why I felt like I had to make this list.

[00:09:46]>> No, that's sure. That's true. And I I I would imagine evacuation technique is not something that's covered in the safety meeting.

[00:09:53]>> I'm sure that doesn't exist.

[00:09:54]>> You just don't know. Yeah.

[00:09:56]>> You just don't know what you're going to get. You don't know. It depends on the state fair you're at. It depends on who decided to read the map.

[00:10:01]>> They're probably going to look up be like, "How are we going to get them down from there?" Like, "Didn't you attend the safety meeting? There was a safety meeting.

[00:10:07]All right. Well, I guess we'll just go home."

[00:10:10]>> Yeah.

[00:10:11]>> Meanwhile, you're up there swinging.

[00:10:13]>> I can only imagine that would be really rough. That's a good one.

[00:10:16]>> Yeah. Well, my number nine is this is this is great. We're just kind of just jumping into it. And look, I this is I'm not going for the joke here. I do think this would be an awful room to be stuck into. Um I think that's English, but uh Journey into Imagination, the fart room.

[00:10:32]Oh boy.

[00:10:34]>> You win one.

[00:10:38]>> I can't imagine the fart would run on a continuous loop, but you would certainly get the residual smell for a while. Like imagine just getting stuck after he's farted in your face and now you're just sitting there.

[00:10:51]>> And for most people, they don't realize it's coffee scent.

[00:10:53]>> No, they certainly don't.

[00:10:54]>> So they'll just be whiffing farts for a substantial amount of time.

[00:10:58]>> I I couldn't find any record of somebody getting stuck in this room, but if somebody has gotten stuck in this room, >> there's no way it off the comments.

[00:11:05]>> It has to have happened in all the times this ride has run. What like there the probability of it never happening >> because it's a stopping point anyways, right? So you like I feel like there's a world where like the next block session wouldn't like that has to happen a good amount. I don't know if they keep looping the farts.

[00:11:20]>> No, but if the fart happens you're like, "Oh, gross." And then the ride breaks down and then you're just sitting there.

[00:11:26]I can only imagine that would be the worst. And also very funny. But also any part in this ride getting stuck in it I feel like would be >> it'd be very trolly.

[00:11:35]>> It'd be very trolly. It would be mocking you. It's a ride that already mocks you for riding.

[00:11:39]>> I find it very funny. I actually had it on my list for a certain period of time and it like barely like fell off.

[00:11:45]>> But I mean, objectively speaking, this is a horrible ride to get stuck on.

[00:11:48]>> No, because it's a ride that mocks you and tortures you for getting on it.

[00:11:51]>> It's very much like Cat in the Hat where I think I'd have a like an amazing time with it and you would probably have an amazing time with it, but the high majority of people would be very upset.

[00:12:01]>> No, Figment I'd have a hard time reconciling how funny the situation is with how miserable I was. I there would be a large part of like the masochistic kind of battle in my head of like I do think this is extremely funny. I wish it wasn't happening to me.

[00:12:16]>> Yeah.

[00:12:17]>> Um but yeah, that's that's number nine on my list.

[00:12:19]>> You have Eric Idol's moon face just sitting at you like looking at you for an hour.

[00:12:22]>> Oh my god. Or the Figment Explosion Room. I couldn't even imagine. Uh what's your number eight?

[00:12:28]>> I have um and this probably won't be a a surprise to you. Finding Nemo submarine voyage >> at number eight.

[00:12:34]>> Yeah, it should be much higher than that. I you you'd think, right?

[00:12:37]>> That's crazy.

[00:12:38]>> Yeah. You know, I I could I could see that getting a little bit of flat.

[00:12:41]>> I'd love to hear the other seven rides.

[00:12:43]>> I know.

[00:12:44]>> No, I'm like second guessing now that I'm saying it out loud.

[00:12:48]>> That's insane.

[00:12:49]>> That's a >> That's an All right, let's hear it.

[00:12:51]>> You're underwater. You got what? Over 30 people in there.

[00:12:55]>> 40 >> in a 52. It's a 40 person vessel.

[00:12:58]>> Yeah. They're all fold down seats because that thing's only 6 feet wide.

[00:13:02]Yeah. um you are at the mercy of how the tourists around you smell.

[00:13:06]>> Yeah, >> unfortunately. And I don't believe it's air conditioned. It gets like fresh air flow from the top, but I don't think it's air conditioned.

[00:13:13]>> It doesn't feel like it.

[00:13:14]>> Um >> it certainly feels like you're you're breathing in recycled air that is just trapped forever.

[00:13:20]>> This is not one for the claustrophobic type. Even that's the problem is like when you're on a regular cycle of this ride.

[00:13:25]>> That's what I was about to say.

[00:13:26]>> 6 minutes in, I'm like, "All right, get me get me out of this thing."

[00:13:29]>> This ride feels like you're stuck on it when it's operating properly. Mhm.

[00:13:32]>> I don't know how else to say it other than that. And I've read stories. I'll get into it when we go when we get to this on my list. And that's the other thing is and we we will if you haven't heard about it already, you will hear a lot about this in another episode.

[00:13:44]Spoiler alert. But it does, I believe, have to complete its cycle. Like they have to get it all the way back, right?

[00:13:51]That's a it's a brutal unload like >> like or a a recovery process.

[00:13:56]>> Yeah. Because they can't go backwards, right? or I just don't the access of getting into the submarine to get people off the >> in the water. You couldn't go backwards because there would be a submarine.

[00:14:05]>> They have to eventually get them all the way through the cycle and so yeah, that could be pretty brutal. So eight uh that's like honestly really generous.

[00:14:11]>> Unless you got stuck like directly after dispatch, maybe they could move it backwards then. But if you're like anywhere in the middle of this ride, you're you're screwed. There's there's no way.

[00:14:22]>> Yeah. I don't think they're backing them up though cuz you got other subs to deal with. They'll probably just keep moving the line forward. That's fair.

[00:14:28]>> So, that might be like the worst spot cuz it's going to take you the longest time to get back >> if you just dispatch.

[00:14:33]>> Number eight.

[00:14:35]>> Yeah. Now, yeah, now that I'm like talking about it and now now like I kind of remembered what the recovery like process is like >> or just being on the ride.

[00:14:43]>> Yeah.

[00:14:44]>> Uh well, either way, let's marinate on that and let's move to my number eight.

[00:14:48]This is I wasn't sure if I could list this cuz I don't know if it's a ride, but I do think it's a ride. Do you consider the Montreal a ride? Yeah, I do.

[00:14:57]>> Okay, then my number eight is the Skyliner.

[00:14:59]>> Really, dude? Think about it. No air conditioning, just vents. You're stuck on the Skyliner in the Florida heat in the middle of the summer in a little a little airborne coffin.

[00:15:12]And I know this is bad, >> but the windows are open, right? Yeah.

[00:15:15]>> Well, let me introduce you. Let's go to exhibit A here. This >> Okay, good. Cuz we have confirmation there is no AC. Cuz now I'm like trying to remember cuz I always have comfortable rides on the Skyliner. This comes from the Orange County Register.

[00:15:27]Here's the title of this article. These are the worst theme park rides to be stuck on when they break down. And then the number, one of the top ones. This is I'm reading directly from this article.

[00:15:37]Disney World visitors were stranded for up to 3 hours and had to be rescued by firefighters using ladder trucks when the new Skylander gondola ride malfunctioned. That to me means that is the recovery process. They have to call the fire department, much like some roller coasters. But the only difference with roller coasters is you're in an open air vehicle. There's you're not trapped in these like little bubbles.

[00:16:01]And I I guess there are kind of windows, but they don't open all the way. They crack. That's a little crack.

[00:16:06]>> Yeah. It's kind of like our Montreal at Disneyland.

[00:16:08]>> Like, you know, if you have you ever gone to like the supermarket and you see someone left their dog in their car, but they crack the windows. That's not comfortable. Like that dog's not stoked about that. Now imagine that that car was suspended 40 ft in the air in the Florida sun. It sounds awful.

[00:16:24]>> Depends on who you're with in there, too. It could definitely suck ass. I like the pick.

[00:16:28]>> I could be in there with my three favorite people that I would have always wanted to talk to. I could be in there with Steven Spielberg, uh, LeBron James, and uh, who else would I want in there?

[00:16:37]KM Del Toro.

[00:16:38]>> Oh, I can see it now. The tourists would like to get off the Skylliner, >> dude. I could be in there with all of them trying to pick their brain, and I'd still be like, "Get me off the Skyliner." The Skylliner is awful if you get stuck on it. I like it in general though. But, you know, in the in the short time span you're on >> in this brutal theoretical that I guess has has happened to people.

[00:16:56]>> Three hours.

[00:16:57]>> That's brutal.

[00:16:57]>> Not only is it brutal from the sun and just like the awfulness of all like just sweating out your body weight. But just think about all the rides you're missing out on. 3 hours. You're just stuck there.

[00:17:07]>> Well, you're missing out on other rides on any ride you're on.

[00:17:09]>> I know, but 3 hours is a lot. And you're not even in a park. You're just like suspended over a swamp or something like that. It's >> That reminds me of the uh maybe I should have had one of these on the list, but not I think a few rides have done this or like have come out on the news. I know KN knots had like that like 300 foot tall like >> the sky view tower.

[00:17:28]>> Uh it wasn't even the Sky View Towers that like it was like that swing one. Oh yes, it doesn't exist anymore. I wonder why. I read about they got like stuck for like hours up there >> in 2012 I think is when that happened.

[00:17:39]>> That's [ __ ] bonkers.

[00:17:40]>> It's hilarious. Uh what's moving on to number seven? What do you got for number seven here?

[00:17:46]>> Okay, I have and this is a generalization. This is a type of roller coaster. Any flying coaster I would hate to get stuck on cuz every time I get strapped into one of those and they tilt you down, you like your subconscious is like always at least for me it's always screaming at me like hey like you're you're just you're 100 plus feet in the air. If for whatever reason, like I know these restraints are insanely reliable just based on how they're designed. I know how they're designed, but your subconscious doesn't really register that and it just thinks, okay, this restraint is between me and falling face forward or face down into concrete like 100 ft down.

[00:18:26]>> And if I got stuck there for like an hour, >> I I would [ __ ] hate that.

[00:18:30]>> It's a marathon trust fall. Yeah, >> for sure. You're just sitting there looking at your death for over however long it takes to to do that. It makes you feel feel like you're falling forever.

[00:18:38]>> Yeah. So, this could be, you know, your Tatsus of the world, your Manta, your Flying Dinosaur, Superman Ultimate Flights, you know, the the B&M Flyer, or pretty much any flying coaster. No, >> getting stuck in that position, I don't think would be fun.

[00:18:51]>> I think it's a solid pick.

[00:18:53]>> Moving on to my number seven, staying in coaster land. Uh, we have Hang Time or any ride that has any 90° lift hill. We have Shellrazer and Fujiku Highland. Uh, Takabisha is another ride there apparently that I know of. Mystery Mine, The Smiler, which I've been on over in Alton Towers, uh Skyoop Coasters, and then uh uh Fahrenheit, which you've been on, I would imagine, at Hershey Park.

[00:19:16]>> I think it's a very underrated ride.

[00:19:18]>> Either way, these 90° lift hills, obviously, they have the anti-rollback system. Some of them, I think, actually have the dual chain, so they could actually bring you back down, >> but I think a lot of them have like a winch system to recover it.

[00:19:30]>> Yeah.

[00:19:30]>> They just can't simply like bring it back like, "Oh, our bad. Let's try again."

[00:19:34]>> Yeah. And that could be a process. I know Rip Ride Rocket.

[00:19:37]>> Rip Ride Rocket >> had some very notable evacuations that were like newsworthy.

[00:19:42]>> They had the fire department on speed dial.

[00:19:45]>> Yeah, it was crazy. Uh I just couldn't imagine being completely on my back looking up into the sun for an hour.

[00:19:55]That sounds awful.

[00:19:56]>> Yeah. Uh and that's just it's that's fun and it's like, oh, this is really scary.

[00:20:01]We're about to go on this drop for the 10 seconds it lasts. But if I was there for an hour, nah, bro. That's absurd.

[00:20:11]>> If anybody has been stuck on any of those rides in this particular spot, I'd love to hear it in the comments because it sounds like a [ __ ] nightmare.

[00:20:19]>> That's a That's a great pick. Who knows?

[00:20:21]Maybe maybe it's somewhere on my list.

[00:20:23]>> Let's go to number six.

[00:20:24]>> All right. My number six is Tiana's Bayou Adventure. Let me explain.

[00:20:29]>> Oh, I'd love to hear. Well, yeah. I mean, I don't I don't I'm not like it was just a surprise.

[00:20:32]>> This is more of a personal pick for me.

[00:20:34]>> Yeah.

[00:20:34]>> The first time I rode Tiana's BYU adventure, I was in the front row.

[00:20:38]>> It was It was night time. It was November.

[00:20:43]>> I went to the annual pass preview. The first day it was available. I got a boarding group.

[00:20:48]>> I forgot they premiered it in the winter.

[00:20:50]>> My Yeah. My brother cuz it was broken down all day. So, my brother and I didn't get on till nighttime.

[00:20:55]>> Oh, boy.

[00:20:56]>> I got absolute And they didn't regulate the water at this point. This is the first.

[00:21:00]>> They still really don't.

[00:21:01]>> Yeah, >> especially if you're in that front row.

[00:21:03]>> I got absolutely soaked. Like I was saying after the ride, you could have just thrown me into the into the Rivers of America and it would have been exactly the same. And one of the parts where you get the most soaked, of course, is like when you're inside like in the belly of the beast, when you kind of do that Yeah. the bunny hill up into the splash.

[00:21:23]>> Y >> and I got absolutely drenched. every bit of my body, shoes and all, like completely soaked. And one of the most common places to get stuck on this ride is, of course, before the final lift hill. Obviously, they'll like stop the lift hill if like the block section ahead isn't clear, >> and that's just a common place where logs will get backed up and stuck. We didn't get stuck there for too long, but we got stuck there long enough where I might have even taken a video of me screaming like, >> "No, it broke down. You were soaking wet. It sucks.

[00:22:02]>> I was drenched freezing.

[00:22:04]>> Oh yeah, cuz you're at the top of that lit.

[00:22:06]>> I don't know. I'm like at the base of it like before they start like sending you up. And luckily I think they got it going within like a few minutes or so.

[00:22:14]But I just kept thinking, man, if I'm stuck here much longer, this is just a brutal, brutal experience. And like even let's say you are riding this under better conditions. It's not at night.

[00:22:26]It's You're still in a show building, >> so you're not even blessed with the sun to start drying you, which is which is why I didn't put like Grizzly River Run and other like water attractions.

[00:22:38]Specifically, Tiana's Bayou Adventure where you could potentially not only be drenched in freezing inside a dark show building, but you could be taunted by some animatronics that may or may not be working, >> especially how this was going in its opening week of operation.

[00:22:55]So, it was not a joyful celebration uh for me on that first go. I had a miserable experience.

[00:23:00]>> I think anybody who's been on Splash Mountain or Tiana has had the experience of getting on it, even on a sunny day, like you're saying, getting soaked and inside some of these show building portions when you're soaked, you're like, "Jesus, I'm [ __ ] cold, man."

[00:23:13]Like, cuz the air conditioning is so intense because it needs to be because it's a hot day, but they don't like it's not like they turn the heater on during night so that like it can regulate. So if you're like stuck in that portion and you're soaked head to toe.

[00:23:26]>> Yeah.

[00:23:26]>> I could imagine that being absolutely miserable >> November. So when we get when we got off the ride too. I mean we'll have a whole episode on this one day obviously but >> I can't imagine. I mean yeah I've been on Splash Mountain or Tiana and been cold in these in the show building parts. Like even like you know when you go off the drop the little section of like the before you get to like the big finish animatronic room that little like kind of like waterway is also really cold. Like it's really cold right there cuz it's in the shade.

[00:23:55]>> Uh it's I never really would have even considered how awful would be to be stuck in that part of the show that specific spot in the show building after that horrible bunny hill that always destroys you.

[00:24:07]>> It destroyed you even back in the Splash Mountain days more so during Tiana.

[00:24:11]>> Yeah. Pro tip, we haven't covered this ride yet on its own proper episode. If you haven't been on this ride and you don't want to get wet, do everything you can to get in the back because >> dude, do everything you can to ride the Florida version.

[00:24:24]>> Yeah, cuz the California version is merciless. Uh like people are wearing bags over their shoes kind of wet. It's crazy. All right, moving on to my number six. Kind of an offshoot or uh a reverse uno card of the hangtime choice. We have Siren's Curse coming in here at number six for me.

[00:24:42]>> Oh, that's a great pick.

[00:24:43]>> And that's because it happened.

[00:24:44]>> Is Cedar Point's new roller coaster Siren's Curse Cursed? The ride breaking down twice since it opened on Saturday, leaving people stranded, as you can see in this video behind me on the top of the roller coaster.

[00:24:56]>> If you don't know what Siren's Curse is, it's a tilt track. So, they bring you up and then the track tilts so that you are now perched 90° looking down before it drops you straight down. And on opening day or opening week, people got stuck after it tilted to the 90° where it holds you. And it these people were just looking straight down.

[00:25:20]Daddy, I'm scared. Don't worry, Timmy.

[00:25:22]They only hold you there a few seconds.

[00:25:24]>> Well, they're really letting this simmer. That's crazy. I I couldn't even imagine being on this train. I I beg I beg to the theme park gods that somebody who was on that train watches this show.

[00:25:35]Hit me up. I need to talk to you because I want to hear what it was like. That sounds crazy. I saw the pictures.

[00:25:41]They're so funny. I'm sure it was miserable for you, but it's extremely funny pictures to just see.

[00:25:45]>> You got a great story.

[00:25:48]>> Crazy. You made the news.

[00:25:49]>> Or PTSD. I don't you know, >> uh, but yeah, I I can't imagine. And and you know, there's other rides that do this. Hang Time, you know, it it suspends you before you drop. Any kind of like dive coaster, you're probably going to get something like this. But Siren's Curse, I think, is particularly evil because it tilts you into that, which is it's an added little sauce.

[00:26:10]>> Good to get the tilt coaster on there.

[00:26:12]>> Uh, moving on to number five. Top fives.

[00:26:15]>> My number five, and this is actually this is very similar to Siren's Curse.

[00:26:20]>> Oh, I'd love to hear.

[00:26:20]>> Uh, this is Falcon's Fury at Busch Gardens.

[00:26:24]>> Oh my god. Oh, that's such a good pick.

[00:26:28]Oh my god. I Okay. Yeah, that's great.

[00:26:30]So that is kind of the tilt track type of experience. You're except you're three >> you're 3, you know, 25 plus feet.

[00:26:39]>> Describe to the to the folks at home if they haven't been on Falcon's Fury at Bush Gardens. What what is this ride system?

[00:26:44]>> Falcon's Fury is a drop tower ride unlike any other. I believe it was manufactured by Intimmen. I mean, slam me in the comments if it was. I'm assuming it's manufactured by Intimmen because they just do they like doing this weird crazy [ __ ] and they've done drop towers before.

[00:26:58]>> They should put them on the uh the letter head. We do this crazy.

[00:27:00]>> We do this crazy [ __ ] >> The shrug The shrug emoji.

[00:27:04]>> It's that old guy that says, "Guess I'll die."

[00:27:07]>> Yeah. And we had the pleasure of riding Falcon's Fury last year.

[00:27:11]>> That's right.

[00:27:12]>> And Yeah. So, it takes you up slowly, like over 300 ft in the air.

[00:27:16]>> And And one thing to stress here, >> when it takes you up, it looks like any other drop tower ride.

[00:27:22]>> Yes.

[00:27:22]>> You're sitting in a normal way, >> much like Supreme Scream or your Lex Luthther. When you hit the top, it decides to take all the seats and kind of push them forward. So, you're kind of like in a flying coaster type position and you're just facing down over 300 ft toward the bottom.

[00:27:42]>> It tilt. It's like a tilted chair vehicle. It's It's insane.

[00:27:46]>> And I knew about this prior. I had not been more scared to ride a ride in many years.

[00:27:52]Uh, and I could only imagine cuz you hear a collective amount of people panicking.

[00:27:59]>> I clearly got like forced on the ride.

[00:28:01]Did you know about it? I did not know about I didn't tell you about it.

[00:28:04]>> No, Byron didn't tell me about this. And like, you know, even from like the bottom, it's kind of hard to see what's going on up there. I've been on a lot of drop towers, so I was like, "Okay, you know, I know what's going on." I didn't bother to look up. And so when we got up there, I was like, "Okay, I wonder how long they hold us up." Wait, wait.

[00:28:18]What's going like like I was literally midthought of wondering how long do they let you sit here before they drop you?

[00:28:23]Like what's the sizzle time? And as I was thinking that, it got interrupted by the chair moving and I was like, wait, what the [ __ ] going on right now? And then before I knew it, I was looking directly at the floor. Uh, and it was extremely unsettling. And I did have a brief panic. I I which was really nice cuz it's it's fun to panic on a ride and you don't get that many many times now, especially, you know, after starting this pod. We've been afforded the opportunity to go on so many more rides than we would have uh which was already an insane amount. So like it's a lot. It takes a lot to make me pay.

[00:28:56]>> I can only imagine that if it got stuck up there, you're going to be stuck for quite a long time.

[00:29:02]>> A long time >> cuz if they're having malfunctions and you're stuck, they're talking about, "Okay, drop them. We figured it out."

[00:29:08]Like it's >> Well, there's one way to get them down.

[00:29:11]>> Uh so a lot >> I don't know. We should we should figure that out. I It can't be fun though if you get stuck up there.

[00:29:19]>> Get up zoo loopers. We went to Buschard Zud Library. He's the He's the Busushch Gardens king.

[00:29:23]>> The the ambassador of Busch Gardens at this point. At least for us.

[00:29:27]>> For us at least. If Zudter Loopers, if you're watching, how do they get people off Al Falcon's Fury when they're trapped?

[00:29:33]>> Oh my god. There's no way. They have to like somehow wench them down. It'd be funny if they made them climb down a giant ladder.

[00:29:39]>> I don't know. Maybe there's like a there might be like really tall ladder. Yeah, like ladders that get up there, but I'm climbs to do the trinity test.

[00:29:46]>> Kind of like a cable, you know, they probably hook on. They kind of like do like a little spelunking journey.

[00:29:50]>> Oh, that'd be crazy if you repel down or if they give you like a >> what is that thing when you like a zipline zipline to a different tower? Have you seen that's a really good pick? And that's your number five. I'm curious what >> honestly that's almost Yeah, it's a little generous. That could be even worse.

[00:30:05]>> That could be even worse.

[00:30:06]>> Yeah, like not having progressive insurance. You're listening to this podcast, so I know you've got a curious mind. Here's a helpful fact you might not know yet.

[00:30:58]Potential savings will vary. My number five is bad, but it's situ situationally bad. There has to be a very specific set of circumstances for this to be maximum bad. And that's Riddler's Revenge over at Six Flags Magic Mountain.

[00:31:15]>> Oh, okay.

[00:31:16]>> Now, if you don't know what Riddler's Revenge is, it's probably the world's most famous standing coaster. I looked that up to make sure I could make that kind of >> It's one of the few left at this point.

[00:31:25]>> There's a reason why there's not many left. And what do you mean by standing coaster? You might be wondering if you've never been on one. Well, it's a coaster where you literally stand and you have over the shoulder restraints.

[00:31:34]And you're probably thinking, "Well, that doesn't make any sense because then you could just kind of crouch down and get out of the restraints." Exactly.

[00:31:41]They had a way to prevent that, which is basically having I don't know how to describe this other than like a ball catcher, >> a pelon seat.

[00:31:50]>> It's like a bike seat that has like a curved bill up and you just slide your your you straddle it.

[00:31:58]>> Yes. And it makes it so that you can't like, you know, >> and it could bob like up and down. So it'll lock into place depending on your height.

[00:32:05]>> Exactly. Now, unfort designed to be nice and snug up there, too.

[00:32:09]>> You know what's funny is you have for anybody who wears watches out there and you're trying to fit the watch for your wrist and there's links that decide how big the watch is. Sometimes you're stuck in between the two different links and it's not perfect. It's too tight or it's too big. Or if you have a snapback hat, you're in between the two dots. You're in between snaps. So, it's like either too tight or too big.

[00:32:31]>> Or even with your standard lap bar, you're know like, do I go another click or >> Yeah, but that's never going to be an issue from a a pain standpoint if you're in between clicks on a lap bar. For Riddler's Revenge, this crotch grabber, this thing that you're like trying to get to adjust to your height while standing. If you're in between clicks, you're either going to be kind of like bending your knees or you're going to be on your tippy toes and basically just being hanging hanging by your balls like you're just hanging by your crotch like your feet kind of like just barely touching the ground if you don't lock it in properly. And I have to say, being on this ride several times, they don't do exactly the best job of giving you time to really work that out. They're like, they're trying to get the line moving.

[00:33:12]So, like, they just lock it into place.

[00:33:14]They only care that you're not going to be able to get out of the restraint.

[00:33:17]They don't care how comfortable you are.

[00:33:19]So, if you are unfortunate enough to get locked in a position where you are basically hanging by your nuts and then you get stuck somewhere in the ride, you are now basically just just being suspended by your balls in the sun. As Def Funklands joked about in his Green Lantern episode, you you might be uh tainted by that experience.

[00:33:40]>> Yeah. No, that's really good.

[00:33:44]This is the Tate Buster 3000 for sure.

[00:33:46]>> Yeah, there is a way around this. I'm just saying like I go I go to great lengths every time I get on Riddler's Revenge to push that seat down and I just hold my hand there until they lock those seats.

[00:33:59]>> Oh, yeah. So then you could just have the wiggle room.

[00:34:01]>> Yeah.

[00:34:02]>> Yeah. But if you are an unsuspecting tourist coming onto this and you don't understand how the locking system works, it's more than likely that you're probably going to be locked in a very uncomfortable position. Uh and honestly probably equally uncomfortable for the ladies, I would imagine, as well.

[00:34:17]>> Yeah, I could see it.

[00:34:18]>> And uh being suspended, hung by just that one pressure point on your body in an un ideal position. Maybe a liftill maybe. Maybe somewhere up the at the top of the ride in the sun. I can't imagine that's a good experience. It's never happened to me where you I've actually gotten stuck on this ride, but this ride does break down. So, I know people have gotten stuck on this ride. So, if you've been stuck on Riddler's Revenge, this is great because this comment section is going to be so fun for me to read later of just aggregating all these horrific stories, we could all share in our misery here. So, if you've been stuck in Ridley's Revenge, please comment on the video. Uh, let's move on to number four.

[00:34:54]My number four, this is probably way too high on the list, but I just think it's really it's a really funny visual. Uh, Yoshi's Adventure. O, that's a good one because you wouldn't think about it, but yes, specifically Yoshi's Adventure in Orlando.

[00:35:13]>> Yes, >> I would imagine >> because more days than not, especially during the summer, it's going to be absolutely brutal. I could just see a lot of really pissed off dads who waited an hour to get on this really slowmoving attraction just sitting out there in the sun getting taunted by all these funny colorful things looking at the eggs.

[00:35:37]>> You're just sitting there like a rotisserie a rotisserie chicken just getting baked by the sun. We always talk about it when we go out there. It's evil people mover. First off, Nintendo World, you're not there's not a lot of shade to begin with. And then secondly, this is a two-story Nintendo World. So Yoshi's on the second story.

[00:35:54]>> Yes.

[00:35:54]>> And it's just a track that's purely just exposed to the sun.

[00:35:58]>> Yes. And I would say a majority of the ride is up there like outside.

[00:36:01]>> And it's an extremely slowmoving ride.

[00:36:03]So even if you don't get stuck, you're still getting baked by the sun.

[00:36:06]>> Yes. When we rode it, we're like, man, this sucks ass. It was like a like 90 plus degree day, too, when we went on it.

[00:36:12]>> Oh, no. I remember thinking to myself, I'm extremely uncomfortable.

[00:36:14]>> I feel like I was getting sunburnt just off the few minutes that we were outside traversing that.

[00:36:19]>> I couldn't even focus on the egg hunt.

[00:36:21]Moving on to my number four. Look, this is this is a pretty uh layup pick here.

[00:36:27]I think most people would have this on the on their lists. And this isn't so much from an a pain standpoint like getting burned by the sun or having your balls busted, but more so just like the mental strife that you would be going through on this ride. And that's Small World. I'm I'm looking at your face to see if you have Small World on your list.

[00:36:45]>> I actually don't, but I love this pick.

[00:36:47]>> You don't have Small World on your list?

[00:36:50]>> No, but I could see like I could definitely see that driving people insane. Well, here's another thing to think about. I And I saw this I this could be verified by a cast member, but somebody was mentioning that for water rides in particular, it could take 90 to 120 minutes to offload just because of the water element. Yeah.

[00:37:11]>> Uh, and sometimes they'll actually have to have like cast members go out there in like the fly fishing outfit where like they have to like kind of like pull the boats through the >> And who knows how long it takes if someone's naked in the Taj Mahal.

[00:37:22]>> That's true. I've always wanted to bathe in the Taj Mahal. That's what that streaker said. Here's a story from somebody on Reddit. Evil Queen Mindy.

[00:37:30]They say just over 90 minutes stranded on Small World. This just happened to them. After about 20 minutes, they shut off the music. Bless them. But the dolls still moved around and no sound comes out of them. It's unsettling. We had my 2-year-old niece with us, her favorite ride. She was super good. To this day, I shudder to think of how badly it would have gone if we left her blinky blinking and blanketing in the shoulder stroller as we discussed. That's a good point.

[00:37:52]But uh no, I I I actually think uh this ride without the music would be extremely unsettling. Very uncanny valley.

[00:37:58]>> Yeah.

[00:37:59]>> But also hearing the small world loop for that long. I like I know there's a popular creepy pasta about getting stuck on Small World that is like, you know, there's a reason that exists. It hasn't happened to me yet, but I can imagine this would not be the most pleasant place to have a sound loop.

[00:38:15]>> I have to deal with that sound loop for 15 minutes anyways. What's another couple hours?

[00:38:19]>> I just I'm trying to think of like what other sound loops and rides are worse than this to get stuck in front of.

[00:38:25]>> They have a new verse and everything you can enjoy over and over. Then what if they like what if that sound started coming like they cut the sound all of a sudden he's like play with us forever.

[00:38:38]>> Or what about like uh I guess maybe getting stuck in Haunted Mansion Holiday by those reefs that are going that would also be pretty bad. That probably is a contender. But this is like I had to had a p have a pick that was purely just off the environment being too much. I guess that was your Cat in the Hat pick >> kind of. Yeah. But this is my Cat in the Hat pick of just an audio loop that would drive you absolutely insane. And then when they shut the audio loop off, it's completely haunting.

[00:39:06]>> Pretty common knowledge that a lot of people are creeped out already by this ride when it's just operating like normal. So I like this pick.

[00:39:13]>> No. And and in fact, and throw on top of that 90minute evac time, maybe 120 minutes listening to Small World over and over again and if not watching a bunch of animatronics just open their mouths silently. It's rough.

[00:39:25]>> It's a rough thing to think about. Uh, moving on to yours top three.

[00:39:29]>> I'm guessing this is going to be your number one. It's my number three.

[00:39:33]>> Oh, no.

[00:39:33]>> It's Mission Space.

[00:39:35]>> How How is this your number?

[00:39:37]>> Hey, that's pretty high.

[00:39:37]>> It's pretty high.

[00:39:38]>> That is pretty high. It's not like I like omitted it like cuz I think that's a fair a fair choice for me. I have gotten stuck on this twice. Uh, >> me too.

[00:39:48]>> Um, >> were we together for both of them?

[00:39:51]>> No. Okay. So we we were together for the second time because when we got on for the bachelor party and of course this was after some like world showcasing type of activity.

[00:40:01]>> Yeah.

[00:40:02]>> And the first time it was a similar situation for me. So when we got on for your bachelor party we were laughing it up. We were having a good time obviously and I started joking about like guys the last time I got on this it was like stuck for like 20 minutes before the ride started and I was like kind of you know >> having a panic attack.

[00:40:24]>> I was in the same >> I was having a lowkey panty >> and it was absolutely brutal. It was but like like anyways like apart from that I love this ride. That's how I was like, "Hey, like except for that last time.

[00:40:37]That was atrocious." And then like within like 2 minutes of me saying that, it's just oddly quiet. And then someone like came on the like, "We're experiencing a delay." Like this kind.

[00:40:47]And we all just started busting up laughing just because of the the timing.

[00:40:51]And then we were stuck there for like another 15 minutes or so.

[00:40:54]>> I remember both times I've been stuck on this two times as well, but that time was so much worse because we were laughing about it like, "Wouldn't it be funny if that happened again?" And then it happened again. And then it was not funny.

[00:41:08]>> And I already had like I had I I already knew how bad the experience was. So like when you know that you're going to go through it again.

[00:41:16]>> You cuz you can't move. You can't move your body already pressed up against your face.

[00:41:21]>> Your face. And >> luckily they have air flowing.

[00:41:24]>> No, the air actually made it worse. The air made it feel like I was going to throw up because it was like blowing like throw a little torture device.

[00:41:30]>> Yeah, dude. I was like strapped into a torture device and I >> It is a pretty restrictive uh restraint system.

[00:41:36]>> Again, I don't think I'm claustrophobic normally. Like I could go through tunnels. Like even when you go through haunted houses, you know how they have those rooms where they have like the airbags that make the tunnel shrink.

[00:41:45]>> Oh yeah.

[00:41:45]>> I don't care about that.

[00:41:46]>> I hate that [ __ ] >> I don't mind it.

[00:41:47]>> I get a little claustrophobic.

[00:41:48]>> See, I actually don't. And even when I went to the uh the pyramids and you have to climb through like you have to crawl through all the tunnels, that didn't even bother me. But I saw a lot of people having panic attacks in there.

[00:41:58]>> Mhm. The only place that has actually given me a panic attack, I think, like where it actually happened and I was like, "Oh my god, I'm I'm freaking out right now is is Mission Space cuz I just I it was too much for my brain to course correct, I think, of it would be funny if this happened. Oh, it's happening.

[00:42:21]It's not funny. I want the joke to be over. Oh, no." It's like when someone's tickling you for too long.

[00:42:26]>> Mhm.

[00:42:28]It starts funny and then it ends very unfunny. But I I just remember breathing like really focusing on my breathing >> to try and not >> like calm yourself down >> to try and not panic cuz my heart was beating so fast >> cuz when you start thinking about it too much it gets worse.

[00:42:43]>> Dude, I was like I I was really going through it. I was like if I didn't breathe through that I would have had a full-blown panic attack cuz like my mouth started to salivate too and I was like oh no I'm I'm in trouble again. We also had some drinks at the World Showcase, too. And like it it's it's just it was a bad situation. It was a really bad situation. And the wor all I could think about, too, was oh my god, the worst part about this is after this ride fires back up, we have to ride it.

[00:43:11]And I didn't want to get on the ride either. So, I was just like, dude, this sucks.

[00:43:16]I know for a fact I'm going to be in this stupid like cage, this prison for at least another 30 minutes. That's That's terrible. I I And that even Oh my god, I'm working myself up even thinking about it right now. Like I that made me have to breathe through it even more cuz I was like the relief is so far away.

[00:43:32]Man, what a horrible experience. My hands started sweating. That was really kind of traumatizing. I really don't like that ride.

[00:43:38]>> Well, thank you for uh thank you for sharing.

[00:43:42]>> My hands actually started sweating. It was so terrible. My number three already been mentioned. It was one of yours.

[00:43:49]Which one do you think it was? Oh, Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage.

[00:43:52]>> No, no, my number three is Tatsu or >> Oh, yeah.

[00:43:55]>> or any other flyer is actually what I wrote.

[00:43:58]>> And the reason why is because of what you said, you're it's just obviously it's made for this, >> but the amount of faith that you're putting in that flying restraint. I already think that when the ride's operating normally, like you go down, it puts you into the flying position, it's that, oh, this is scary because it's it is. It's like I I don't know if this thing is going to fail or not, and if it does, I'm screwed. Like if a a restraint fails on a normal roller coaster, it's like, okay, maybe I have a fighting chance if I like wrap my arms around it or something like that, but on a flyer, you're you're pretty screwed. I actually did get stuck on Tatsu. Um, and I didn't luckily I didn't get stuck on Tatsu in the outside portion of the ride. We got stuck coming back into the dispatch area just before you get to it, that little stop area. And I was stuck with our friend.

[00:44:44]>> Yes.

[00:44:45]>> Daniel Tucker >> and Henry. And uh and I just remember >> and that's a common thing by the way.

[00:44:53]>> I remember one of my friends freaking out like freaking out. And I was like like screaming I need to get off this ride.

[00:45:03]Uh just because not even from like oh I'm going to fall down but just the feeling of being trapped and just your face looking down. It's not the most comfortable position either. M.

[00:45:11]>> And I remember him kind of like like spit throwing up, you know, like that like that pre-throw up spit >> dry heave.

[00:45:18]>> Yeah. And I was he was like right next to me too. So I was LIKE >> it was a miserable experience >> that final break run because obviously complications with the loading process.

[00:45:30]>> The loading process. But we were there for >> are common.

[00:45:32]>> We were there for 30 minutes.

[00:45:33]>> That's awful.

[00:45:34]>> I was reading online somebody was there for an hour and they said it was absolutely miserable. That's awful cuz I've only had that for like 5 to 10 minutes before and that's mainly not necessarily that's not a malfunction of the ride. It's more just complications with passengers or getting people loaded operations and what have you. But even in those few minutes that was when the idea registered like this would be a real [ __ ] ride to have like an elongated >> oh my god >> breakdown. That's awful.

[00:45:58]>> I was start I was trying to keep it together but luckily like the fresh air it's like this is like the mission space scenario except without fresh air.

[00:46:06]>> Yeah. or with fresh air rather and and uh yeah, it was just an extremely uncomfortable thing to have happen. I remember when we finally got back and like the the seats went back to normal and they finally let us off the ride. He did throw up. He would throw up right there. Right in the the trash can in the exit hall, right? Right. Or to the when you go down the stairs. But uh yeah, it's it's not fun.

[00:46:26]>> That's not something you want to experience right after going through a pretzel loop, too. One of the most intense elements out there. It's it's any flyer I imagine would be absolutely miserable, but I could attest to this one cuz I went through it personally. Uh and I and I guess it is common. Uh but moving on, what's your number two?

[00:46:44]>> My number two is >> Well, you actually already uh you already brought this one up a long time ago. Yes, it's hang time or anything with a vertical lift hill. Yeah, I think we've said enough on it, but that's my number two.

[00:46:58]>> And my number two also treading some ground here. We got the Nemo subs.

[00:47:01]>> Yeah, >> which means my number one is Mission Space.

[00:47:06]>> Yeah, >> we kind of went into Mission Space, so I'm going to go a little more into Nemo.

[00:47:10]I I did actually see a fair amount of people getting stuck on Nemo. And it sounds torturous cuz 40 minutes you're trapped in a small room that's already uncomfortable with 40 other people or 39 and almost all the stories involve children eventually crying because it's like I need to get off this but they can't get off this. And then like parents screaming at cast members being like get us off. They're like we're trying. We're in the water.

[00:47:37]>> We're calling NASA >> and we're like we're not in the water. I could see the Matterhorn. We're actually outside of the water. Like I know what you mean, but we're not we're not, you know, we're in the water. And just like the whole just the feeling of being trapped. Cuz the thing about Nemo that's special, if you want to say that, you get stuck on a ride, right? You're stuck in that ride with your ride vehicle, which is usually your friends or your family with the exception of a couple bigger ride vehicles. Like even a roller coaster, you're stuck with the person next to you in your row. Indiana Jones, you're stuck with four people in your row. Technically 12. But Nemo is very unique in that you're stuck in a room with 39 strangers for a long period of time where you have no elbow room.

[00:48:23]That's terrible. Just outside.

[00:48:25]>> No one's rope dropping this either. So, everyone everyone's walked around long enough to have an aroma. If I like just went out on the street and was like, I grab gathered 40 people and I was like, I want you guys to all squeeze into my garage and I want you to stay in there for 40 minutes and I'm not going to turn on the air conditioning cuz it's a garage.

[00:48:42]>> You're also not allowed to fart.

[00:48:43]>> Well, they will be. Babies will be [ __ ] themselves and just talk amongst yourselves. We'll see how it goes.

[00:48:50]>> Yeah.

[00:48:51]>> No food or drinks.

[00:48:52]>> Like, could you imagine the hysteria that will be caused by that? That happens regularly on the Nemo subs. And again, this is a ride that I don't enjoy getting on when it's operational, let alone dysfunctional. It's a nightmare.

[00:49:06]I've never been stuck on the Nemo subs.

[00:49:07]I hope I never do get stuck on the Nemo subs. That might be the end for me. And of course, Mission Space number one. But let's move on to some honorable mentions here. Are there Is there any honorable mentions that you want to talk about that didn't get onto your list that you just kind of want to point out? If you don't have one, I have one ready to go.

[00:49:22]>> Go for it.

[00:49:23]>> It's not a bad one in the sense this is more anecdotal because it's I don't think this is actually a bad ride to get stuck on. I've been stuck on it a couple times and it's actually kind of cool because you get to walk out of the ride vehicle and see like the show building Indiana Jones adventure.

[00:49:35]>> I like I like getting stuck on that.

[00:49:36]>> I love getting stuck on this usually, but there was one time where I may or may not have taken an edible that was way too strong and we it was a group of us and we got stuck in the boulder room and all the lights shut off and we were just sitting in the pitch black for 20 to 30 minutes. And I don't know if you've noticed this, but when you're perhaps a little too much on the sauce, time stretches out in in a certain way where you start to kind of panic a little. And it was pitch black. We were in there for 20 minutes. And the only thing that was running was the audio loop of the boulder rolling going.

[00:50:20]It was just that continually for 20 to 30 minutes in pitch black and people in our car were freaking out and that was freaking me out and it was a miserable experience and um I think that's a very specific set of circumstances. I think other than that that's a delightful ride to get stuck on. I remember I got to walk by the snake once. That was really cool.

[00:50:41]>> But that was a that was >> and objects are always flying off that ride which is the most common reason why they show.

[00:50:46]>> Were you there with me when the AirPods >> Yeah.

[00:50:50]you were there.

[00:50:51]>> Yeah.

[00:50:52]>> So, there was a person who backpack got thrown off the vehicle. Their backpack happened to be open. Like the zipper, like the big pocket was open and all of their [ __ ] just got thrown out of the bag onto like the track floor and one of those was an AirPods case. And of course, anybody who's dropped a pair of AirPods knows that as soon as that thing hits the ground, it explodes and then those buds go flying somewhere. So, there was cast members literally on their hands and knees crawling around looking for these AirPods, like the singular AirPods for to fit this case.

[00:51:23]And I remember we were all just sitting on the ride vehicle watching them because we couldn't they we couldn't get off. And I felt bad for them cuz I was like, "Oh, if you let us all off, we could all look for these AirPods." But of course, they're not going to let us roam around. But, uh, yeah, it's it things fly off that thing all the time.

[00:51:38]>> I think if anything, my honorable mention was Journey into Imagination.

[00:51:42]But, >> yeah, and we talked about that.

[00:51:43]>> We talked about that plenty. Yeah. You got a a dishonorable or one that you would like to get started?

[00:51:47]>> Oh, yeah. I have two.

[00:51:48]>> All right.

[00:51:49]>> And I'm curious what yours are.

[00:51:50]>> All right.

[00:51:50]>> You want to go first? You want me to go first?

[00:51:52]>> Go for it. Give me one.

[00:51:54]>> Spaceship Earth.

[00:51:55]>> Oh, yeah.

[00:51:56]>> Now, I saw some people online talking about how this is a bad ride to get stuck on specifically.

[00:51:59]>> And it does happen a lot.

[00:52:01]>> It does. We got stuck on this a bunch of different times and people complaining about different show scenes you get stuck in front of. I saw one person complaining about >> getting stuck in front of the newspaper boy. the extra extra we all about.

[00:52:14]>> That's bad.

[00:52:15]>> And does that loop over and over again, but some people were complaining about the part that I love getting stuck on.

[00:52:21]>> Gosh, like these Why do they like they really want me to thank these Phoenicians?

[00:52:26]>> The part that people were complaining about getting stuck on, which I have gotten stuck on before, and it was a a dream, is when you're descending down at the end of the ride in the star in like the star tunnel.

[00:52:38]>> Dude, leave me there all [ __ ] day.

[00:52:39]and you get stuck and your your your vehicle is kind of tilted back and you're listening to Dame Judy Dench.

[00:52:45]>> Yeah, it's my favorite part of the ride.

[00:52:47]>> I've been stuck there before. The most delicious nap I've ever taken. And I saw some people were like arguing about this cuz like they're like, "Oh, I stood there and we were lean back and it hurt my neck." And I was like, "What are you doing? Like just sleep." Everyone was like, "Yeah, that's my favorite part to get stuck." That's my favorite part to get stuck. There's one other place that I prefer to get stuck other than that.

[00:53:05]>> It's got to be like Haunted Mansion where you're going back down to the graveyard. Going to the graveyard from the attic. I've never been stuck there.

[00:53:11]I've always dreamed of getting stuck there because like that's just like a nice part of the ride where like you're not really looking at any theming.

[00:53:17]You're just kind of looking up at that like spooky tree and the crow and there's really like I wouldn't feel guilty if I closed my eyes there.

[00:53:24]>> It's the perfect angle of tilt.

[00:53:25]>> And it's the perfect angle of tilt.

[00:53:27]You're like in a recliner.

[00:53:28]>> Those dune buggies are exact. They're like a lazy boy. Like a zerog lazy boy.

[00:53:32]And just getting stuck there would be a dream. It's never happened, but one day maybe it might. Especially because like you know if you don't have if you're not if you're just going to the park like Byron and I often do where you're just popping in for the day. You're not staying at a hotel. You're not getting a midday like rest. A nice little little nap on the Haunted Mansion Dune Buggy.

[00:53:50]Pretty good. I I wouldn't mind it.

[00:53:53]That's my That's my dishonorable I guess.

[00:53:55]>> Great. Yeah.

[00:53:55]>> Do you have any others or are those the ones that you were >> No, those I mean those are great. But I I'll add uh for a dishonorable I guess.

[00:54:02]Or you know one I would like to get stuck on a Kilamanjaro Safaris. Oh yeah, that'd be kind of nice.

[00:54:07]>> Cuz usually when you get stuck on Kilamanjaro safaris, it's because like an animal's crossing the rug or Yeah.

[00:54:12]And they don't want to, you know, mess with that. They want the animals to do their thing. I think it's like a really cool way to kind of take in uh I don't know, animals doing something that you wouldn't have normally seen on a or just being stubborn and standing in the middle of your way. Either way, I like hanging out out there and seeing the animals. So, if I'm stuck there a little while, I don't mind it. I guess the golden grail though would be getting stuck on Space Mountain because then they turn the lights on.

[00:54:36]>> Oh, that's right. And then they give you the they push you >> and then you get the lights on >> rock section and then >> I've never had a lights on ride. So I think that would actually maybe have to be my number one. I was basing my Dishonorables mostly off of comfort and where I could take a nap.

[00:54:48]>> But I think like in terms >> like getting like a unique look, >> a unique experience. Yeah. Like getting stuck on Indie. You get to walk like the track. Getting stuck on like we've been stuck on um on mini Mickey and Minnie.

[00:54:59]That was actually kind of annoying cuz we got stuck in a very unfortunate spot.

[00:55:04]>> Were they singing the song to you?

[00:55:05]>> They were singing the song.

[00:55:06]>> Yeah, >> but it was the ukulele version.

[00:55:08]>> Okay. I'm saying most rides I I wouldn't mind it as long as I don't have to be somewhere.

[00:55:13]>> That's true.

[00:55:14]>> That's the worst when you're like on a ride and you have like a dinner reservation or something. You're like, uhoh.

[00:55:18]>> It'd be cool to see Lights on Cosmic Rewind just to see the full scale of that room.

[00:55:22]>> I would love that.

[00:55:22]>> That would be so sick. Well, if you can't think of any more, I think that's good. I think we did it.

[00:55:27]I had a lot of I had a lot of fun doing that. It's a very silly episode. I hope you guys enjoyed.

[00:55:32]>> I I would love to go get stuck on some rides.
