Disney should have an event where all the rides have their lights on, just so people can see how some things work!

[@TPMvids]

That would be the best thing ever!

I love how energetic the first cast member is for the pirates of the Caribbean in show exit. It lets everyone know they're safe, so safe that she can joke about what's happening and still be energetic about the situation too (especially if any kids are on the ride)

I just adore her energy.

[@ghostlyboos6864]

speaking as a former attractions attendant for disney, god we wished there would be downtimes, especially if your attraction was a busy one(like mine, I was opening team for MMRR in Hollywood Studios). Everytime I went to the "Tower" Position (AKA watching the cameras to make sure everyone is good and keep an eye for anything in the ride path) I PRAYED TO THE GODS for a down time cause 1) Evacs are fun af 2) Downtime was great, until you were outside dealing with guests but i digress 3) if you're preshow at least at MMRR you get the coldest rooms possible for your down time due to the nitrogen gas they use for the smoke!

I remember being at Epcot recently and although the ride didn’t break down I remember looking very closely at the shadow of the robotics for the anglerfish scene and thinking, “what kind of crazy device is this?” Now I finally know after two months! Thanks to whoever submitted this.

[@LocalTorchwoodIntern]

its crazy to see how it worked!! the two times ive been on Nemos ride (both as a kid and then a few years ago in 2019) I've always wondered how it worked. the more I know!

Funny story: I recognize everyone in the Pirates video so I believe that may have been a day I was working. I was in Adventureland Custodial and the ride was down for at least half of the day. I stopped to say hi to the Pirates crew and they had a cardboard boat out front with a script book to give me “Pirates Abridged”. IT WAS HILARIOUS! All of them came together to deliver the best performance of their lives from some of them meowing like cats to them holding a tape dispenser like the keys at the end to them debating who would play Jack or the barrel he was hiding in to them asking me to “remain seated”. It was the greatest experience I’ve EVER had at Disney World and I’m sad I was working and couldn’t record it lol. The Pirates team is the BEST!!

[@jaketheaccident]

I used to work at a PR firm with the cast member who escorted the guests off Big Thunder Mountain, I remember him telling us he worked at Disney on the weekends and certain nights of the weekdays, he was a cool dude glad to see he’s still going strong at Disney

[@daycarestudios8647]

I’ve been in an in-show exit at Disney World on Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. It stopped in the last picnic scene. It was the last ride I rode before leaving. The day before, I was riding Splash Mountain for the first time, and right before the drop, with the vultures, the ride stopped, and the lights turned on. A few minutes later, the ride resumed.

[@disneyparksstarwarslover7638]

Hi there, I work at Nemo; not only is the net there to protect guests from the Angler Fish, but occasionally the angler fish catches Marlin and sends him flying, so that's also what the net is there for.

Can we just appreciate the first cast member from POTC ride, I love her dude she's putting up a show for people and that's great, specially knowing their job is already hard enough

[@foxythegreat9768]

I used to watch this channel in middle school and it really helped me during the pandemic, I did end up losing this channel a little while after I graduated from middle school, so rediscovering this channel is so much fun and reminds me of how much I loved this channel. So I wanna say thank you 😊

[@jahjahpipi]

I had an in show exit when I was on splash mountain at Disney World. At this point, I was a kid and my parents were waiting outside because they didn’t like to get wet. Right as I was going up the lift hill, everything stopped except the sound, so all the animatronics were staring at me creepily. by then I was scarred out of my mind, especially when I heard the people a few logs in front of me scream (they were teetering on the edge). In the end I got down safely and went through a door that was blended into the wall and got to see the pumps and stuff. That was quite the experience!

[@-cotton-8963]

Huh. Terrifying.

[@mackenziecollins2688]

😮 I have always wanted to be part of an in show exit but this one just sounds scary!😟

[@jahjahpipi]

It was terrifying

[@darkstrifequeen1458]

that's pure nightmare fuel right there. yeesh!

[@BellaTeter07]

I remember my first trip to Hollywood Studios at Disney World, I rode the Rock and Roller coaster, and at the very end, we just saw a white screen. After a minute, the light went off. Everyone was a bit freaked out, but after about a minute, they said over the speaker “we’re facing a few technical difficulties”, but after about 5 minutes, they basically said “alright, we’re good”. Everyone was excited for a possible in show exit (even if it was at the end), but I was just like “is this part of the ride…?” 😂

[@The_squip]

That happen to me it was at the end at ratatouille’s adventure ride thing but it was so cool I guess I have been in two rides that have at an in show exit now that I think of it one at Disneyland on pirates of the Caribbean and the other in Epcot on remy’s ratatouille adventure both almost at the exit tho but oh well

[@gleniogoalhornsstudios]

8:31 I love it when he says that.

[@quinntresin7117]

Got stuck on Splash Mountain years ago, pre-cellphone cameras unfortunately (I am old yes). We stopped at least twice with lights on, but I guess they had to keep moving logs to evacuate some areas? Anyway we eventually ended up stuck at the top of the drop. A very sweet but very apologetic cast member informed us that they couldn't quite reach us to get out, but they could give us a "little nudge" down to her friends at the bottom to help us out that way. Most terrifying moment of my young life at that point lol

[@Lauryn_mejia]

It was so funny when the cast member when he said ^ Just stay seated

[@lilismehname]

I was with my dad in WDW roughly a year ago and we were SOOOOO CLOSE to getting an in-show exit on Test Track. We were near the end of the ride. I got excited and had to explain to my dad what was happening. All the signs of an in-show exit were there, but they got the ride moving. I wouldn't have seen much, but it would have still be exciting.

[@Elfan4]

I love how during the breakdown the pirates didn't even assist the cast members to push the boats 😜

[@beckyy9826]

I feel so dumb for not recording one time where at DCA, the Web Slingers attraction broke down at half of the ride everything was shut off till the screens said “Thank you for enjoying web slingers”. When a cast member came for us, we got to ride it again

[@SpaceEmos]

The pirates cast member was fantastic. I broke down on hyperspace mountain in Paris in a section of elevated track a few years ago. We needed the fire service to get us down ladders etc and it certainly wasn’t your normal evacuation. My dad was loudly joking with the cast members and a few people came up to him afterwards to say how thankful they were for keeping the mood light. Things like this can be very stressful for some so a simple joke can make a huge difference!

[@WackoMcGoose]

That's honestly what I admire about Cast Members, even when things "go off-script", they have an amazing ability to remain in-character through it all. They really do make the magic real 👍

[@heene]

Number 3 looked better with all the lights on as you could see all of it together which looked very impressive.

[@MushyGoose1770]

I love how the first cast member said “please remain seated” so many times.

[@Wiiguy1606]

About the splash mountain one I didn't realize the water flowing down a drop was actually not necessary. I purposely thought it was needed so it would keep the ride vehicle from damaging the down ramp itself

[@superdamanx2680]

Pretty recently I broke down on thunder mountain Disneyland, it was going up the lift hill in the tunnel with the explosions, they brought us through a little door that brought us into the cave at the very beginning of the ride!! The show exit was a awesome experience!!

[@KirbyVR]

I have been watching this channel ever since you did Disney videos it has been great to see you grow over the years!

[@r_sebud]

11:40 I actually had something similar happen to me! Basically, the boats somehow got stuck, and mine was on the auction scene. It played over and over for like.. 15 minutes? Then, they turned the lights on and muted them, which was a cool experience! There was no in-show exit however, as they got the boats moving again (can't remember if it was still muted or not though).

[@MarcStouferIII]

[@MarcStouferIII]

@@TPMvids Hey, TPMvids is always my first thought during a ride breakdown (well, second- after "oh wow cool!")

[@serenemeloetta]

For those who are curious about how often rides stop themselves, I’d say it really depends on the ride! It depends on the age of the ride and the amount of maintenance it receives. As a ride operator I can tell you that Flight of the Hippogriff at Universal Orlando does have somewhat of a tendency to stop itself, although in most cases an evacuation isn’t necessary. Rides like Forbidden Journey and Hagrid’s Motorbikes usually don’t end up stopping themselves very frequently (at least, not that I know of.) TL;DR, Rides are complicated! Us ride operators do a lot to make sure everything runs smoothly, but sometimes it’s completely out of our hands.

[@FilmThePoliceFTP]

I’ve wanted to see the anglerfish mechanics for so long. I noticed the last time I rode it in 2021 that you could see it better in the dark for some reason.

10:03 Often. All rides, but especially roller coasters are overengineered to the point where a falling leaf obstructing a light beam could trigger the ride to go into complete motion stop. For BTM, chances are the trains weren't getting sent out of the station fast enough, or a sensor somewhere felt something it didn't like.
