Has anybody else had one?
I've had the following (this season)
Air x1 (camera)
13 x1 (breakdown)
Oblivion x2 (camara)
Sonic x2 (camara)
I still want one on nemesis to have the set.

It's happened to me once on Oblivion (yesterday in fact) and yep, it was because some twit was filming with their phone.
I was just pleased to be able to enjoy the view of the park and nearby landscape for more than 3 seconds :P

Stopped on The Flume last month! On the lift that goes into the indoor section, great fun watching all the boats build up behind!
Also stopped shortly on Nemesis, this was due to the operator despatching quick so they could clean up some spilt drink on the lowering floor.

Had a stop on Ripsaw on Thursday. We went up and it held us upside down. I noticed one of the ride ops going to press the button on the side of the operator hut and I had a feeling it had broken. It let us freely swing until we were the right way up and stopped towards the back. Took the engineers about 10 mins to turn up. They let us down and tested it and we were strait back on.

Not had any this year but have had one on Air for a camera.
And about 259,000 on Air waiting for the train before to clear the block in front but that doesn't count.
And 256,000,000 on the Skyride. But that doesn't count either. A trip on that when it DOESN'T stop is more of a surprise.

The Lonely end of the Rink- a great song, and it\'s usually the case when I go ice skating because I just can\'t keep up!
