I remember for one year, during the Haunted Halloween thing, they stopped the King Kong ride, and you had to walk around the city below trying to escape zombies  that was kick ass. |
That sounds so cool. I remember I got to walk around the city part too, but I think it was because there was a problem with the ride and we had to exit out of cart and walk the rest of the way out of the ride. I do miss Kong though.
I once had to do the same with the people mover or segway ride at Magic Kindom. The one where it takes you past Space mountain in the dark. The ride broke down and we had to walk on the thin side walk and actually climb down a ladder. Kind of weird. Not sure what they would have done if there was anyone handicapped. I remember that day, it seemed like every ride I went on broke at the Magic Kingdom. I got many fast passes that day that allowed my family and I to cut in front of anyone at my will. I also got to see the inside of Space Mountain with the lights on in that people mover ride. It looks just like one of those small coasters you'd see on a NJ shore boardwalk.
Did anyone hear about a guy who got decapitated on Space Mountain? I heard that the person sitting next to him didn't even know it happened since it happened in the dark and by the time the ride came towards the end, the guy's head wasn't on his body. I think it happened in the early 90s or late 80s. I do remember it being the guy's fault though. Apparently he stood up when he wasn't supposed to. Whoever sat next to him must have needed years of psychological help.
