So, I have only been stuck on a ride twice, and both occasions happened within the past year.
August 2013 - In my first trip back to Cedar Point (and first time Elaine ever went there), all was well... until we got on Mantis! I do like Mantis (since it was my first stand-up coaster), but we somehow got stuck on the lift hill. Of course, I was the one who told Elaine to ride Mantis really quick before going to the bathroom since it was a a near walk-on at that time. 20 minutes later, ride operators unlocked us, and we walked down the lift hill... Upon returning to the loading station, they took down our names, and they gave each of us two front of the line passes to use that day for the inconvenience.
[Not too shabby]
June 2014 - During the Coasterthon, we got stuck on the lift hill SFOG's Mind Bender. We did not have to walk down the hill/ramp because the got the chain motor back in action within 10 minutes! I guess our perk was that we were allowed to stay on the ride all day long (lol). At an ACE event earlier in the spring, some of my friends got stuck on the Mind Bender lift hill, and they ended up having to be unlocked from the ride and walked down the lift hill ramp. While their names were taken, nobody received vouchers of any kind.
So, which rides have you been stuck on and for how long? And... what perks, if any, did you receive for the inconvenience? I am curious if all Cedar Fair parks give out those front of the line vouchers. I hear that Disney tends to offer families a bunch of cool perks if a ride malfunctions and they are on it... and get hurt (in lieu of going to court, etc.).
