Hello!
Welcome back to Most Amazing Top 10!
I am Rebecca Felgate….
And today we are talking about the Top 10 Disneyland Horror Stories….
I don’t know about you but I am not sure I am going to feel the same way about the
most magical place on earth after this list.
10 - Stuck on It’s a A Small World Can you imagine the horror of being stuck
on creepy creepy ride, It’s a small world.
This is what happened to a paralyzed man who was stuck in the ride’s Goodbye Room for
45 minutes.
Jose Martniez was stuck as the ride broke down and stuff were unable to provide him
with an exit like other riders.
The Dolls in that ride are so scary, I can’t imagine being alone with them….while they
sing and I can’t not listen.
9 - The White Lady In Disneyland California, many people have
reported seeing a lady dressed in 19th century clothing along Main Street in the park.
The woman is thought to have died in the area in the early 1900s, which of course was before
Disney was even built.
The woman seems to be a benevolent presence in her new home, and helps lost children find
the Baby Care Centre.
Another ghost said to haunt Disneyland is none other than Walt Disney himself …he
is coming in at number 8 While many rumours have circulated that Disney
has had his body frozen and stored under the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, that gossip
has been debunked.
What has been said though, is that Disney’s haunt’s the park itself, especially his
old office above the fire station.
The story goes that Disney always put a lamp in his Window when he was in the park to let
people know he is there.
After he died, a cast member was cleaning and saw the lamp was lit so she turned it
off.
She claims when she went downstairs and looked back up from the street, it had lit itself
again.
Now the light shines all the time as a signifier of Disney’s continued presence in the park.
7 - Pluto Killed in Parade Disney World Worker, Javier Cruz, was killed
in 2004 in full Pluto costume amid a parade.
Unfortunately the 38 year old, who had worked at Disney for 8 years, was run over by a rogue
parade float.
The incident took place backstage by the east of Splash Mountain as the performers were
lining up just minutes before the parade was due to start.
Cruz was about to go through a fate into public view as the accident happened, and it is not
known whether or not any guests saw the incident.
6 - Gator Death In 2016, Disneyworld Florida was at the centre
of a horrible tragedy when a 2 year old boy from Nebraska was killed by an Alligator at
the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa Hotel at Disney World Orlando.
The little boy, Lane Graves, was playing by the 7 seas lagoon, where allegedly there were
no gator warnings.
Before his parents had chance to rescue their son, he was dragged away and drowned by a
gator…
It was later admitted that the alligator population was not being monitored and that they had
no idea how many gators were living in the waters surrounding the parks.
Recently, the boy was honoured with a lighthouse statue, commissioned by Disney.
The boys parents decided not to sue Disney, and instead established the Lane Thomas Foundation.
5 - Cancer in California Disneyland California is OLD.
It is the first ever Disney location and when it was built in 1955, back when people were
using lead based paint.
Lead, as we know now, can cause cancer.
Attractions with the highest lead levels were found to be the Sword in the Stone, in Minnie’s
House, and Cinderella’s Castle.
The park’s reaction?
To place warning signs.
The signs read: Warning – The Disneyland Resort contains chemicals known to the state
of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Working at Disney doesn’t seem like such a dream job now!
4 Phantom Manor electrocution In spring 2016, a cast member was killed at
Disneyland Paris’s haunted house.
The ride that features ghoulish ghosts and spirits needed some maintenance and unfortunately
the 45 year old man was electrocuted while in the house of horrors.
3 Matterhorn Death In 1984, a 48-year-old woman was killed when
she was thrown from a Matterhorn Bobsled car and struck by the next oncoming bobsled.
The woman, named Dolly, appeared to have fallen out of the ride as her seatbelt was not buckled.
As she was riding alone in the sled, it is unknown if she unfastened it herself or if
the ride malfunctioned.
The area she died is now called Dolly’s drop by cast members, some of whom think her
presence can still be felt.
2 – Thunder Mountain Death In 2003, a 22 year old man died as a result
of internal bleeding from blunt force trauma as train derailed on big thunder mountain.
The train became airborne and hit the rides celling before falling into another passenger
car, crushing Marcelo Torres.
The death was ruled as a result of poor maintainance.
Christmas at Disney seems all the more magical….
But sadly at number one, we have a Christmas Catastrophy on the Columbia Sailing Ship.
The Sailing Ship Columbia is an old and supposedly tame ride in Disneyland California.
It is a replica of the Columbia Rediviva – the first American ship to circumnavigate the
globe.
The ride is very gentle and takes passengers on a 12 minute sailing trip.
Unfortunately on Christmas Eve in 1998, part of boats metal cleat hit two passengers waiting
to board, killing one 34 year old man man and disfiguring his wife.
The incident happened in front of the couple’s two children and other horrified guests.
A Disney employee was also injured.
So that was the top 10 Disneyland Horror stories, we have had ghosts, ghouls and death…..which
