By the time we got back into the midway, it was almost an hour. Everyone asked if the park was going to give us something for our troubles, but they didn't do damn thing. They didn't even let us go again for the full ride. Many people were upset... me and my friend had planned to go on X-Flight afterwards, but our schedule had been pushed back by an hour, so that was not possible. In fact, we had to leave right away.
I feel like SFWoA could have done something considering all said and done, 1 hour of our park experience had been zapped.

They gave us passes for the front of any ride, except Millennium Force, which would be the only coaster I would use it on, as nothing else was crowded. So I just saved mine.

RollrCoastr00 said: When you have been stuck, did the ride ops give you a pass to go up the exit of a ride? What do you think they would give you if you were stuck upsidedown? Or in a really bad place? -----------------Most parks have some sort of courtesy item to pass out when people are stranded for a considerable amount of time, traditionally its a exit pass to any ride in the park, so you can bypass the line. In extreme situations, or high profile incidents additional gifts of regret may be issued.
Imagine the embarassment of the VP of Paramount Parks Marketing as He and I rode the Flight of Fear 1st row on it's maiden (lap bar only) trip at PKD only to hit the first set of brakes at the end and come to a dead stop, not proceeding into the unload station...... We did get to discuss alot of things that were going on in the park:)
But we got back into the station eventually and got a exit pass. which I gave to some enthusiasts visiting from out of town.
