Mr. Toad's Lit Ride

Somebody took pictures of Disneyland's Mr. Toad's Wild Ride with the lights on after a mechanical failure occurred. Pretty cool stuff. That ride freaked me out when I was six - I thought the on-coming train light was a real train.

Many, many years ago I got to ride Space Mountain with the lights on after a mechanical failure. We had to sit on the ride, lights on, for half-an-hour while a faulty brake sensor was fixed. Once it was fixed, they ran us through the rest of ride at full speed with the lights on. Talk about scary. You don't realize how close the tracks are when you're in the dark. Of course this was before the big, year-long refurbishment in 2005, so the tracks might be totally different now.
