carsland - radiator springs racers ride breakdown / evacuation ... twice! (6/17/12)

we were pretty lucky to wait about an hour to get on the ride, and normally stand by line is about 2 and a half hours. during the race part of the ride, our car suddenly stops, but the car next to us keeps going. we get escorted out by cast members to get seated on the next available ride. the beginning of the ride went smoothly until we were about to head into the cave, then it stopped again. we were out in the heat again for a good 5 minutes until a cast member had to escort us out again. on our way out a cast member had said it was a "severe malfunction", we never got any other info on it, but it looked like we saw firemen with tool bags coming while we were walking out. oh well, it happens. they gave us fast passes to go back onto the ride when it got fixed that day, but we never got to use them.
