I was wondering the same. I've been ' stuck' on it twice... Both at the first break run at the top of the wild mouse bit as you come off the turntable. Both times a normal member of staff has been the one to come and help you out and point you in the direction of the emergency exit stairs leading back into the park.

Very strange to need QFS to evacuate Scooby. Wonder if a ride stop kicked in at EXACTLY the wrong moment to evac normal or if there just happens to be a wheelchair guest who needs extra assistance. Could also be a loose item on the track. Elevator is also a possibility but strange its 4 not 8.

 

I've always been under the impression it's a case of take the cars off of the track for a stall.

Looks like it was guest related.

Side tangent - why say high zone? Do many people who aren't niche enthusiasts or staff know what that is? It's up there with precinct for me when it comes to words normal everyday guests shouldn't hear.

UPDATE FROM MOVIE WORLD 

 

Late this afternoon the Scooby Doo ride's safety system
was engaged following a minor guest behaviour incident
which resulted in a ride stoppage in the high zone.
Due to the location of the stoppage, we engaged with
Queensland Fire & Emergency Services (QFES) to conduct
the unload process.
The guests on board were completely safe throughout the
process and our expert team were in constant
communication with them. The four guests on-board were
all safely unloaded.
The safety and wellbeing of our guests is our highest
priority and our team conduct regular training with QFES
on these scenarios and we would like to thank them for
their assistance.
