It’s always a unique experience when an attraction at a Disney Park goes wrong or breaks down.
From live show fails to technology failures, attractions at Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney World, and Disney Parks across the world sometimes suffer mishaps beyond the magic they create for Guests.
And on Friday, Disneyland Paris suffered a power outage that closed most popular attractions.
The power outage at the theme parks, located in Marne-la-Vallee just outside of Paris, occurred around 12 P.M. on Friday and led to many major attractions being unavailable to Guests.
DLP Report showed that Big Thunder Mountain, Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast, and even rides over at Walt Disney Studios Park like Cars Race Rally, were all “closed”:
Due to a power cut, most Attractions at Disneyland Paris are currently closed.
