My wife and I rode POTC Monday morning at about 10:15. We're floating past the cabin just before the first drop, where the banjo player is sitting on the porch. Well there's a guy sitting there on the porch steps right below the banjo player! My wife says, "Must be a cast member". I said, "No, he wasn't dressed like a CM, he had a Pooh jacket on and one of those big Nightmare Before Christmas hats". He was just sitting there watching us float by.
Then we went down the drops and eventually made it to the gluttony scene, when the ride stopped for about 5 minutes. We figured somebody had spotted the guy. The ride started up again and then we stopped for another 5 minutes in the shoot-out scene.
When we got back to load/unload, my wife asked a CM, "So who was the guy sitting on the porch steps?"
The CM laughed and said, "Oh, just some guy who had a panic attack and decided to get out of the boat. We didn't know he was there until his wife got back here and told us he'd jumped out!"
Pretty strange, we'd never seen anything like that before. I feel sorry for the guy if he really had a panic attack, but obviously getting out of the boat wasn't too bright. He was just sitting there, not acting like anything was wrong. I have no idea what they do to you when you do this, maybe escort you out of the park? Like I said, it was an interesting ride.
