Man Jumps off Moving Disney World Train, Cast Members Rush To Stop Him

A recent TikTok video showed a scary sight at Magic Kingdom Park: a man jumping off the moving Walt Disney World Railroad as it pulled into the Main Street, U.S.A., Station.

Steam trains were vital to Walt Disney’s vision for Disneyland Park and have been replicated at Disney parks worldwide. In 2022, the Walt Disney World Railroad returned to Magic Kingdom Park after a years-long closure and rerouting due to the construction of TRON Lightcycle / Run in Tomorrowland.

There are currently stations in Frontierland, Fantasyland (Storybook Circus), and near the Disney Park entrance on Main Street, U.S.A.

While a 20-minute ride on the steam train is one of the most family-friendly experiences at Magic Kingdom Park, rules are still in place to protect guests. For everyone’s safety, guests are required to remain seated for the duration of their journey on the Walt Disney World Railroad.

An adult man recently broke this rule in a video posted on TikTok by @theapprovingofficial.

“How to give a cast member a heart attack on the train,” the TikToker wrote. “…Almost lost one off the train tonight!”

The man stood up, put his feet on one of the train’s steps, and swung around on a pole until a Disney cast member scolded him to sit down.

“Remain seated, please!” one Disney cast member exclaimed.

“Remain seated! The train is still moving!” another yelled from the platform, rushing toward the man.

Luckily, the Disney Park guest sat back down, and no one was injured. The Walt Disney World Railroad appears to have continued operating normally following the incident, but it’s unclear if the guest involved faced consequences.

Disney Parks fans were obviously disappointed by the guest’s actions.

“Guests do the dumbest things,” @bridgettrojas commented.

“We need to bring back public shaming,” said @lizzymcgyver.

Some commenters said the guest’s behavior would get Walt Disney World Railroad cast members in trouble.

“What sucks is they’ll get safety reprimands even though they can’t prevent that kind of stuff,” @corifrey wrote.

“Getting fired thanks to that guest….,” @mauricio.brickman replied.

Follow all posted rules while visiting Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Failure to do so can result in an injury or ejection from Walt Disney World Resort property.
