Vortex

I count myself lucky!

Define "getting stuck."

For me, sitting on a lift hill, on the mid-course brake run, or the final brake run, waiting for a block to clear does not qualify.

Nor would a roll back.

Beast and Adventure Express

[A.S.Coasters]

Adventure Express, in the middle of the second lift hill.

Slightly off topic, I also got stuck in The Curse of DarKastle at BGW right as you go into the fireplace. All effects and lights turned off, and the car stopped for about 30 minutes.

[CoasterGeek101]

Adventure Express
Diamondback

But I am not sure what your definition of "getting stuck" is

[jcgoble3]

None so far.

[BB1]

Only the Blue Racer, in front, at the top of the lift hill.

[ohiocolts]

None so far.

I'm with you.

[beastrider97]

Never been stuck at Kings Island, or anywhere else for that matter!

[jdawg1998]

I wasn't stuck, but The Beast stalled on the lift hill for maybe a minute or so.

[KI FANATIC 37]

You guys saying Diamondback, where were you and when did you get stuck. Ive never seen that thing stop!

[Dalefan]

Adventure Express for me. I was on FOF early in the year when i thought we were going to roll back or stop mid course.

[Jr for Birdy]

You guys saying Diamondback, where were you and when did you get stuck. Ive never seen that thing stop!

Not sure about them but i was stopped on Diamondback mid-course last year for about 20 minutes.

[coasterfanatic2012]

Diamondback and Boo Blasters

[stashua123]

Blue Racer this year. We were stuck for about 30 mins. before they evacuated us. It was due to faulty sensors that were messed up because of the rain

[TombRaiderFTW]

Never been stopped on any KI coaster before, except for once or twice on Adventure Express's second lift due to blocking, back when I was young enough to have been terrified enough to remember. The second lift was the scariest thing that ever happened to me as a kid at KI--so much so that getting stopped there was memorable to both me and my family, who rode the ride with me. (Or I assume the stop on that lift was due to blocking, anyway. This would have been in the mid-90's--did the ride run 3 trains at one time?)

Oh, and even though it's not a coaster, I once had a sensor misalignment (or whatever you want to call the control system losing track of the gondola) on The Crypt back in 2008. The ride very slowly lowered itself back to the loading position, with the music and lights still doing their things all the while. The thing took forever to finally park, and once stopped, the ride ops acted as if nothing had gone wrong and told us to enjoy our day. The ride was declared down immediately afterwards.

[LongliveKingsCobra]

Your last bit was a very common occurrence back in the TR:TR days! Usually right before the upside down dive into the "lava" pit

[ohiocolts]

I still think it would be scary if I were stuck on AE's second lift hill. And then you got evacuated, and had to walk on the stairs by the, whatever there called dudes. And then you walked up to the lava guy.

[Mr. Christopher]

A topic on which rides people have been stuck on ... now I've seen it all.

[KingsIsland1972]

How do you all get so Lucky? I'd pay to have an experience like that! Even if it was on Woodstock Express! (Sigh)

[Voicetek]

I remember the last couple of seasons Phantom Theater was there, it seemed to stop quite a bit during the ride. Sometimes the ride would just stop, other times the ride would stop and so would the music and all the characters. I assumed some of that stopping had to do with trying to load people, perhaps handicapped people. Other times, I'm not really sure what was going on. It was always fun to get stopped during that ride though although I don't know if I would've liked to have had to evacuate and walk through the dark along side of the animatronic figures though lol. That would've been an interesting experience!

Getting stuck on a ride is fun..... for the first 5 minutes.

After that, someone is bound to say "I'm glad I went to the bathroom before this" which immediately makes you start to think "I should have went" then you have to go too.

Then there is the "girl who won't stop screaming" because, ya know, the longer & louder you scream always makes things go faster....

There will also be the "I'm gonna sue" or "I'm getting my money back" guy. (although I did get a free day pass @ CP for being stuck on DD for 45 minutes)

My favorite: "This doesn't happen at Cedar Point".

Forgot one: "I should have got a locker".

My fav, "This better not take too long!"

off topic, I like your new avatar picture.

I was stopped on the midway brake run on Vortex. It was probably intentional though.
