This was some 20+ years ago, and happened to two MD-80s. The MD-80 elevator is not powered, but controlled by tabs. Residue of deice fluid (type IV, new at the time if I remember correctly) build up inside the elevator system and jammed it. The flight control check only moves the tabs, so nothing unusual during the flight control check. Both aborted above VR and managed to stop. Luckily, and the correct decision by both captains.
A GO decision would most likely have killed a lot of people. Yes, a long runway did help.
