(SFGATE reached out to Disneyland regarding the cause of the ride’s malfunction, but did not hear back by time of publication.) Rokos said he overheard a Disneyland cast member mention a number of people who were supposed to come into work that day had called in sick. But many people had the same question: How did this happen?

A little boy behind Rokos started to play a handheld video game, while a baby on the boat remained sound asleep the entire time. Then, a voice came over the speakers, relaying a public service announcement for cast members to come down and help the stranded guests.Īll things considered, the guests on the ride were relatively calm - even the kids. The lights came on and the ride audio stopped playing, though Rokos could still hear a mechanical grinding sound coming from the animatronic couples as they continued to move. ZG0vjKWqMC- Brian Rokos November 1, 2021 Boats have not moved for about 10 minutes. We are stuck on Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland. “Finally, I guess they gave up on restarting the ride.” “I was thinking, this is really unusual,” said Rokos. But as 10 minutes passed, and then another 20, he started to have his doubts. “Then suddenly, we stopped.”Īt first, he thought this wasn’t a big deal.

“We were at the point in the ride where the women are chasing the men around in circles, and Jack Sparrow is peeking out of a barrel at a pirate who’s talking about the location of the secret treasure,” Rokos told SFGATE over the phone on Tuesday morning.
