No, getting stuck on IASW would be worse in my opinion, simply because the song is essentially the same throughout the ride. At least with the caterwauling cats, it's typically just a few seconds and you're past the sound when riding PotC.

The IASW incident happened to me probably five-or-six years ago, sitting next to BTD for about 15+ minutes while the ride was backed up. We were stuck at one of the loudest spots in the ride. No one came to save us. The ride was effectively ruined for me, and I shudder to consider riding that again. I've ridden it only three times (that I remember) since getting stuck... one of which was at the recent LoT swanking, and only because everyone else wanted to say goodbye before rehab. /puke

It was, thankfully, made enjoyable by the ever-awesome Mousepod.

It's horrible. I was stuck at a place where they couldn't walk us off..... for about 30 minutes. I've blacked out in my mind where it was, but there were big dropoffs to the left and right of the boat. No flat area to walk out on.

The first 15-20 minutes of the music was torture. Then, thankfully, they turned off the music. It was just creepy with the dolls clicking, clacking and moving. When the ride started up again, they left the music off.

At the end of the ride, there were cast members apologizing like crazy and handing out "Admit 4" Fastpasses.

Add to that we only ended up on the ride after a bunch of "what do you want to do, I don't know, what do you want to do"s. The suggestion was made in jest (never was a fan of the ride), we ended up on the ride and it backed up at the end - the load/unload area was beyond full. I don't think the ride went 101, it was just backed up.

Yes, but at least the IASW song is intelligible noise. It is already intended to be listened to for 17 minutes (if with variations). There's a reason you're generally only exposed to the wailing cats for a few seconds: because being exposed to it for 20 minutes straight is simple cruelty.

Yes, but I can't imagine hating an entire ride for something I will likely only hear only a couple of seconds every time I ride it when it's functioning properly. Everytime I ride IASW, I am reminded of being stuck as I listen to the song go on and on and on.

I should amend mine to read more like "everytime I ride IASW, it's like being stuck at the same point, even if the boat is moving.... because the ride sucks, and I regret going on it about half of the time."

I have been walked off of Mr Toad...we were stuck in the entrance to Hell.

We were semi-stuck on Small World, but the 2 boats in front of us took it upon themselves to push us backwards out of the ride.

It's a world of laughter, a world or tears
its a world of hopes, its a world of fear
theres so much that we share
that its time we're aware
its a small world after all

CHORUS:
its a small world after all
its a small world after all
its a small world after all
its a small, small world

There is just one moon and one golden sun
And a smile means friendship to everyone.
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small small world

You're welcome.

Just what I needed to see first thing New Year's Day.....

We only had music in the first room, which took 20 minutes to get through. The music went off at that point and we crawled through the next 2 rooms to the clicking and clacking of the dolls. We hit the blockage at the end of the 3rd room and at that point the other boats started pushing us backwards. The only thing that stuck in our heads was the thoughts that the people in front of us were a bunch of idiots.
