Back in 91 (while spending the summer working at DL) some friends and I all hopped on SM after our Sunday morning Mickey Mouse Pancakes at the Wheelhouse over in Frontierland/NOS. We took over the entire rocket. As we climbed to the top we could hear the breakdown spiel start - but we continued onward. Immediately after cresting the top of the lift we hit the first set of brakes and our rocket came to a complete stop as the lights on the mountain were flipped on. A friendly CM came out to let us know what was going on and we convinced him to take pictures/video of us. We had to wait for the rest of the rockets to be cleared out of our path and then we were sent down the mountain with the lights on. Of course we got to go again with the lights off too.

I'll have to dig out that video (old-school full size camcorder) and see about getting it online.
