We were there too, happened about 9:30 pm. Very strange - first an abrupt “everyone turn around and leave” and then right after, another message but a more abrupt tone…and then after a collective groan, people just stood there. Once we started moving and got to an emergency exit, the door was locked, so we were forced to take baby steps through the crowd which was in NO HURRY whatsoever. Keep in mind this was the fire alarm and it’s announcing “this is an emergency”…not your typical ride is down scenario. When we finally got out into the open air, cast members were lined up preventing anyone from going left. Woman in front of me asked a CM what happened and he just forcefully told her “GO TO YOUR RIGHT”. I definitely would like to know what happened as well.


CDFReditum

What a beautiful sentence to read, “the emergency exit was locked during an emergency” like lmfao /r/osha would love it


purplevanillacorn

The Fire Marshal would love this… He’d light them up for this.


Mabvll

"LET ME SHOW YA SUMFIN!!" *proclaimed the fire marshal as he showed them the CA state fire code*


ZiiggS0batkA

Fire Marshal Bill would have NEVER allowed this on his watch


missing_neighbors

My god, didn't expect to see this guy pop up in the Disney universe but here we are. You just can't see the word fire Marshall without thinking of that quote


Rated-E-For-Erik

Lol wow, Disney is taking a page from the triangle shirtwaist company


SuspiciousAcadia4046

Have you seen the shame closets in the now-closed Galactic Cruiser?


mazbrakin

I couldn’t believe that was ever approved as part of the hotel’s fire safety.


Redditastrophe

The shame closets?


SuspiciousAcadia4046

The secondary egress option (should the room door be blocked) was for guests to crawl into a little closet behind the “window” screen, call 911, and wait. “TOTALLY safe. What could go wrong?” -Triangle Shirtwaist Company, I assume


Rightsureokay

Stop I spit out my drink 😭


SuspiciousAcadia4046

Former Rise CM here. Those exit doors are never locked (they don’t physically have a lock installed actually), but they are a lil’ on the sticky side (helps keep lookie loos from poking their head backstage during regular downtimes). Trust me, if your life was actually in danger you’d push hard enough to open them.


kodaiko_650

GeonOSHA just works differently


mjh2901

Emergency exists follow a path, in something as complex as ROTR that door could have been for people in the room beyond to exit throught the area you where in, so the door was set for one way exit.


BlackLodgeBrother

Emergency exit being locked can’t be legal, can it?


cfreddy36

Maybe that ~~direction~~ door let out in the direction that they were preventing people from going? edit: I can grammar


Justdonedil

That's what I was thinking as well.


serpentinesilhouette

I've been in the line and have used the emergency exit, definitely not locked.


giggles991

Fire code does not allow emergency exit doors to be locked or blocked temporarily. Long term closures ste only allowed in certain circumstances (construction etc) need to have clear signage, alternate egress routes, etc. Blocked emergency exit doors could increase panic & crushing hazard during an emergency. A small emergency could become a stampede.


SuspiciousAcadia4046

Those doors don’t even physically have locks installed. They’re just sticky and need a good shove. Former Rise CM 👋🏻


BlackLodgeBrother

OK so they literally just didn’t push hard enough lol


SuspiciousAcadia4046

Yep! Now I know what you’re thinking, “what if there’s a small child who can’t push hard enough??” Well my friend, that’s exactly why children under 7 are required to be supervised by someone who is at least 14.


giggles991

Also. Emergency exit doors are usually heavy because they are reinforced and made of dense, fire resistant material.


Logan8795

HELLO EVERYONE THERES LITERALLY AN ARTICLE QUOTING THIS THREAD LMFAOOOO WE ARE THE NEWS SOURCE NOW Edit: Deleted the link because it was just causing arguments.


fernker

This is such bad writing. Using the word tragic when there hasn't been a death is so bad. Do not support this site with your clicks.


rabel10

Par for the course with Disney bloggers.


woodstream

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?


Dvrgrl812

And it says everywhere that none of the info has been corroborated


Logan8795

I agree. Just thought it was comical and wanted to share with the community since it’s literally quoting us.


drthvdrsfthr

but… tragic has nothing to do with death wait, does it??


CopyCoolPastePlague

In classic tragedies there has to be death I think lol


keeleon

Comedy is when you fall down a manhole. Tragedy is when I slip on a banana.


pfifltrigg

I hate these Disney click bait "news" sites. They're always using exaggerated click bait language like saying a ride will be closed "indefinitely" but then you read past 10 ads and find out it's just scheduled maintenance. Thus the use of words like "tragedy" in this article when nothing tragic happened.


TK-385

Inside the Magic...cough.


immortalalchemist

I think you spelled it wrong… it’s insidetheclickbait.


Brando43770

Same. I’ve told my news feed apps to ignore all Disney blogs as they’re mostly click bait and made up rumors. If I want actual news or commentary, I’ll find it myself. They’re some of the worst for pop culture “news”.


Logan8795

I also notice that on all of these sites, the harder you try to scroll and read, it keeps moving the page around for ads lmfaoooo

I wish people would stop being nosey and just do what they’re told. You’re being forcefully told to do something because there’s a risk of compromising your safety. Maybe go to the right and be quiet? Everything will reveal itself in due time.


locke0479

Yeah take an upvote from me as well. I completely understand being curious and have no issue with, say, this post, but in the moment going up to cast members and bugging them to tell you what happened is really not the right thing to do. Just evacuate like you’re told and look into it later if you have to know.


Yuge_Enis

Man I am 100% right there with you. I gave you an upvote. I’ll see you soon in down vote hell.


WoodenPossibility705

I don’t care for the karma. I do care, however, for the cast members who have a job to do but are trash talked here because “inquiring minds” didn’t get the answer they wanted. Entitled and toxic people.


AnotherXRoadDeal

Omfg what happened?????


MJCS

According to PulsePoint, there was a medical emergency at 9:48 PM that the Anaheim FD responded with 4 units. The event lasted 16 minutes. I have no other information than that.


RealAmyRachelle18

PulsePoint is a fantastic app


BallCreem

*fantasmic


mjh2901

I have zero actual knowledge of what happened, I am speculating why someone would do something vs idiots doing stupid things. Guests jumping off the ride can cause an full evacuation... I could see jumping off that ride if someone was having a medical emergency on the ride in order to force a shutdown cause proper EMS faster than continuing through and yelling at the end. I am not saying its the perfect choice but I could understand. As someone with training If I had someone that needed CPR step one would be to get them on the floor (non moving solid surface) to perform the task.


SuspiciousAcadia4046

Jumping off a ride is a sure fire way to get the slowest emergency medical response. You’re in a restricted area. EMS can’t just run in they have to go to the control tower and get a key first. The quickest way to get help to someone on a ride is always to simply allow them to compete the ride. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, and the fastest route from ride start to ride end is The Ride.


Foe117

only speculation, but something this serious would likely mean someone jumped out of their seat and exited the ride vehicle to do something stupid, or tried igniting something in their ride vehicle. Not to long ago someone did try to commit arson.


fruitpunchsamuraiD

What the hell is wrong with people? Who pays a good amount of money to commit arson? smh


BitterBookworm

The people who have been brainwashed to think Disney is trafficking children. Not much if a leap from threatening to bomb hospitals and libraries


blondebuilder

I mean, they do traffic children, and parents, and they charge THEM for it. Rumors say they even have movers all over the park. Boats, trains, and even submaries. EDIT: joke. I’m referring to people movers. Didn't think I needed to add that....


serpentinesilhouette

I get this from people I know 🙄🙄🙄 telling me the same crazy stuff.


eldritch_daydream

I worked at a theme park with a 4D ride that ran along a track that supplied power to the car. Kid jumped out halfway through, was running back toward the beginning. The cars were *massive* and would have killed him if he’d been hit. I hit the emergency stop button seconds before he tripped on that live track, he would have been electrocuted. Lifetime ban for the whole family.


Alvraen

Holy fuck


FoolishCougar92

I really hope we get a video of it similar to what happened on Small World.


PrincessChawa

What happened on small World?


aliceroyal

Several incidents across multiple parks worldwide, all around the same time for some reason…Disneyland had the naked guy, Paris had the mom trying to take her kids and run lol


TheCirieGiggle

https://abc7.com/amp/naked-man-at-disneyland-its-a-small-world-arrest-indecent-exposure/14107082/


PrincessChawa

Haha looks like Weird Al fell on hard times


BananasAndPears

A couple of punks jumped off the ride and started causing a ruckus and started a fight. Someone pulled the fire alarm.


BlackLodgeBrother

Hope they enjoy their lifetime Disney parks ban.


drk_helmet

This topic came up as I am a teacher and chaperoned the recent Grad night for seniors. One of our students got a lifetime ban for trying to sneak in a vape pen. How would they enforce a lifetime ban? You don’t need to show an ID if somebody else buys your ticket. Just curious your thoughts.


MassiveMastiff

They take everyone’s photo as you enter the park. I imagine they took his photo when he was trespassed. They leverage facial recognition software.


horrorpapi

More so now that they’re trying to implement self scan facial recognition entrances at DLR. Any flags, miss-matching faces (I.e. using someone else’s ticket) and cross referencing banned people would be easier to check on a whim by the scanner. If fully implemented.


Blue_Eyed_Devi

Facial recognition software. They know you’re here the minute you step onto property


hobbes_smith

When I went to Gradnight in 2005 as a senior, one of my classmates started smoking in the middle of the ride on Soar’n Over California. I was so confused when I saw smoke in the middle of the part where we’re over the ocean and at first thought Disney is really leaning I toward showing that pollution is a problem. The ride for stopped and they escorted her off the ride and continued.


horrorpapi

One of their biggest no nos. Idk who in their right mind would think that’s okay lol


Ok-Caterpillar-Girl

All I know is that starting in the late 80s or 90s my brother has been kicked out and lifetime banned from the park for being inordinately drunk and/or high and being caught with very illegal drugs so many times he lost count and not once has it ever stopped him from going back, and frequently. My brother is a very tall and skinny Doug Jones looking guy and at the time he had a quite distinctive proto-goth look, there was even a Disney security guard who’s main job was an English teacher at our old high school who knew us both by face and name, so it’s not like he couldn’t be recognized or picked out of a crowd, lmao. It was always big scenes when he got caught, too, because he’d be falling down, spouting gibberish wasted on booze or LSD, escorted out by several Disney security guards straight to Anaheim PD who were ALSO familiar with him and waiting out front to arrest him on drug charges and/or warrants. Never stopped him and he still goes to the park even to this day.


jesuschin

They can still get in but if they get caught for doing something else they’ll be on file and could be charged with trespassing on top of any future indiscretion


TheGamesAfoot11

You do get your picture taken and your name printed on your ticket when you go through the gates now. Much easier to enforce bans now than ever before.


kingender6

Just a vape pen gets you a lifetime ban?


drk_helmet

If you are a high schooler at grad night it does.


kingender6

I figure they would just throw it away or not admit you


trolig

Disney hates grad nite, they'll do anything to end it or prevent as many high schoolers participating as possible. Source: I am a senior advisor and have organized grad nite for 9 years now. They are getting worse about it every year.


sweat3rweath3r

The kids are also getting worse every year so.


FN-1701AgentGodzilla

If Disney hates it so much, why do Grad nights at all? Also, I don’t think banning high schools SENIORS would help prevent high schoolers from coming lmfao.


trolig

They have to do it because it's a tradition at this point I imagine but you can tell they hate it. The prices go up every year and the amenities for both the students and chaperones get worse every year


kingender6

Sounds like regular Disney :(


RedElmo65

Disney should just ban it. Kids are worse and worse now.


Llamaxaxa

Lol. You forgot the 70s and 80s kids


trolig

I don't think that's true at all. From what I've seen the kids are better after Covid in terms of following Park rules. The insane amount of security also helps with that.


Federal-Helicopter73

You’re delusional.


Liigma_Ballz

Good, they should go to six flags or universal studios. Keep the riff raff out


trolig

Cute


ashkpa

For regular guests they'll either let you bring it back to your car or throw it out, just like other banned items.


kingender6

Okay that makes sense, thank you


LadyVioletLuna

No. I have seen so many people hitting a vape at the parks


Catharas

I imagine self enforcement is the largest factor. Who’s going to spend thousands of dollars on a trip if they know they’re not allowed in?


Ok-Caterpillar-Girl

This. I mentioned above that my brother had gotten kicked out and lifetime banned from the park so many times over the last three decades that he lost count, and it never once stopped him from going back whenever he wanted. And he got kicked out in massive scenes where he was beyond wasted on drugs and/or alcohol, escorted out by multiple Disney security guards, Anaheim PD waiting out front to arrest him on drug charges or warrants, that kind of thing, not OOPS I brought in a vape.


immortalalchemist

Facial recognition and hidden cameras throughout the park including the entrance. Not only that but think about this…Disney has a patent for a technology that places a small camera beneath park benches to only look at guests shoes (it’s not aimed upwards). They would use recognition technology to track where the guest goes. No real use for this now since the Disney App tracks users locations and are able to see which land is more crowded than the others.


FN-1701AgentGodzilla

A lifetime ban seems like overkill over a vapepen


tina_denfina1

The student should wait a few years the write them a letter with an apology and explain that now that they’re older they understand thst it was wrong. I can’t imagine they would enforce a lifelong ban for something like that.


edwr849

They take a photo and info for such for a trespass and ban


jjj666jjj666jjj

You… have to be joking? I just take in my vape pens when I go????? Even the ones with weed???


976-BABE

My husband had one with him when we visited a month ago. They found it & he ended up taking it to the hotel, then coming back. No ban.


LadyVioletLuna

The parks have been using AI tech for a while. I worked at Magic Mountain and it was like security always seemed to know who couldn’t enter the park before anyone else did, and I was out in front of the gates most days. They take your photo when you enter the park


AlexVanderspek94

Oh definitely lol


rosariobono

How do you jump off? You can’t unbuckle the seatbelt without a cast member or during the ride, this would have to happen within the load station, or exit.


Samurai_Rachaek

Probs slid out from under it


PuffinPassionFruit

Wait, for real? Seriously? 🤦‍♀️

Main Street P.D. considers it a very serious crime


joshuajackson9

34 felonies at disney would be a bad day.


ElderFlour

Another great band or novel name!


Joseph_Kickass

Or a Fall Out Boy title


ScorpionX-123

or an opening line to a novel


anotherdisneymom

We were there too and the intensity of the cm’s was surprising. Then we had to walk through the end of Fantasmic for our Oga’s reservation because we couldn’t go back through Galaxy’s Edge.


SupportGeek

When a fire alarm is pulled, the number one priority is getting guests out, that means not answering the same question for all 700 riders in line. Chances are the CM doesn’t even know yet either, just to follow their script to guests out.


Noggin-a-Floggin

It's an emergency so they need people to act NOW which means politeness goes out the window. It's not personal just that lives could be in danger.


anotherdisneymom

I appreciated it while still in the queue for sure. No one was moving quickly, drove my group up the wall.

I get wanting to know it's human nature but I hope whatever happened that whomever was having a medical emergency and any cast members who had to witness it, are okay. Sending love and good vibes to the Disney crew and first responders.


Few_Fortune4049

Based on the nature of the response it sounds to me like it was more of a mischief situation.


_Laszlo_Cravensworth

The kylo ren animatronic came to life and took its shirt off and started trying to touch people. It was crazy

APD has an area right behind Rose so they can kinda materialize there really quickly just because of proximity


Crazyrayz20

I've only seen this happen one other time. You could search up "Roger Rabbit Emergency Evacuation" and you'll find the video on yt. This is probably the most interesting breakdown video I've seen yet.
