Every once in a while, the rides and attractions in Disney World may experience a temporary downtime. These downtimes can occur for a number of reasons, and they are often quite brief and don’t cause any major disruptions to the ride’s operations.

Brief technical hiccups are bound to happen, and from time to time, you may find yourself ON the ride when those hiccups occur!
That’s exactly what happened today to our reader Lisa F., who reached out to us on Facebook to share her experience on Dinosaur!

According to Lisa, their Time Rover temporarily paused while they were in the middle of the ride. Lisa told us that “We just got stuck on Dinosaur for about 10 minutes, lights on, and some lovely engineers came to fix our car so we could keep going!”

It’s not every day you get to see a ride with the lights on! It gives you a neat opportunity to get a small glimpse into a “behind the scenes” moment at how the magic is made in Disney World!

Though if you ask us, it was pretty lousy luck to be stuck RIGHT next to the Carnotaurus. Personally, we would prefer to be stuck next to a cuter, friendlier dino — even if it looks like the Carnotaurus is just taking a nap.

No evacuation was necessary and it sounds like the ride was up and running in just a few minutes! Thanks, Lisa for sending in these awesome photos! We’ll continue to bring you the latest news and updates from around Disney World, so make sure you’re following along.
