Guest Gets Stuck on Broken Down Disneyland Space Mountain – Cast Member Use’ Excessive Force’?

In a Reddit post from the r/Disneyland subreddit thread, a guest could capture photos from a video they were not allowed to post. In the pictures, you can see the moment Space Mountain broke down and the guests got stuck on the attraction. Cast members were then forced to “push” the guests to restart the attraction train and get them through to address the maintenance issue.

But no worries, the “excessive force” used by the cast members was intentional and was not to harm the guests but rather to get them through the attraction safely after getting stuck on Space Mountain with the lights on. The guest posted to social media with a positive attitude, stating the following:

Ah, realized we’re not allowed to post video here but included a screen grabs.

Space mountain broke down while I was on it last night and after the lights being on for a 5 or so minutes , some CMs came up to us and push started us to get us back to the bottom. Got to stay on and ride it again. So cool riding through with lights on. Spoiler of space with the lights on in the video.

As you can see from the photo above, the guests were unharmed and could record videos and take pictures while the lights were on inside Space Mountain, an iconic and beloved Disneyland attraction. Other guests were quick to jump into the comment section to post their ride break-down stories similar to the one assigned to the subreddit thread you see above.
