Indy (got to see the array of subs in the bolder drop room), PotC, and BTMRR.

In case anyone cares.

Pirates, twice! Almost capsized a IASW boat this last trip, at least it felt like it would roll over.

I've been walked out of Mr Toad's and POTC. We got taken out of the boats on IASW once; but it was outside the building, so it doesn't really count.

Wait- was that me and Teresa? Or a different sinking- cause all we did was get on another boat and saw nothing of interest.

I have never been walked off a ride- stuck certainly- but never walked off.

back to back pirate sinkings were and are my only walk offs so far (btw, one of the best DL times ever!!) . I fear hanging out with you folks, it'll be just the beginning

In all the times I've been to the Park, the one time I've been walked off an attraction was Pirates, right after its movie-novelization. Truly an unpleasant experience. The boat I was in was between the island of skeletons, with the new music that makes me want to find whoever's in charge and beat them, and the storm sequence. After 20 minutes of sitting, listening to "please stay seated" announcements, and the worklights coming up, we were inched into the "Dead men tell no tales" cave, and unloaded. From this vantage point we could see and hear Davy Jones' blathering projection effect. Over and over and over and over. If you don't know that I hate the Pirates re-do, you do now. 45 minutes to walk us out of the attraction from this point. 45 hot, crowded, "why is this taking so long" minutes! Why? Because they're interviewing each and every single person they've unloaded before they let you out of the building! Everyone was given a "come back anytime today" pass for the ride, which was very nice, considering the Park was about to close.
When they do thing right, they're very very right, when they do things wrong, they're spectacularly wrong.

I'm just thrilled and had to share!

When I was a sweeper, I loved walking through the Fantasyland rides after closing, how fun! Congratulations! They really should have a pin for this at City Hall, "I got walked off ___________ , during the Year of a Million Dreams!"

Subwoofers

10 Electrovoice sub(woofer) speaker cabinets, each with four drivers (I don't recall if they are 15" or 18"
