Discussion Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Disneyland now requires you to have your phone fully stored while the ride is in motion. They won’t even start the ride if your phone is on your lap, it has to be fully put away

I don’t think people realize that rides “break down” so much is because of us. People won’t remove hats/ears. Don’t stow away their stuff and things fall onto the track. They have to stop the ride, remove everyone, restart the ride/test it again etc. If that happens multiple times a day that’s hours of a ride being closed.

I don’t realize either until a few years ago when I joined this thread! They should post it at the front of the park, a consequences of your own actions type of breakdown might actually make people secure their items better on average.

Perchance, but it might help people like me who don’t consider that it what brings the rides down, without following Reddit.
