Credit: Disney A guest at Disneyland Resort recently reported a disruption on the Monsters, Inc. ride, which led to an evacuation and a temporary closure of the attraction. According to the guest, the incident occurred when a child was able to exit the ride vehicle during the attraction’s course, causing a system shutdown and a need for a reset.
Incident Details
The guest detailed the situation in a post, revealing that “We were just evacuated from the Monsters Inc. ride with show building lights on because a kid was completely out of the ride vehicle.” Cast members responded swiftly, initiating the evacuation of riders while the system was reset.
According to the guest, overheard conversations with cast members suggested that the child’s exit from the vehicle might have been intentional, with a parent potentially lifting the child out and placing them on the back of the ride vehicle.
It’s unclear how the situation exactly unfolded, but this type of incident requires immediate attention, and the attraction was temporarily shut down as a result. Guests were evacuated, and the system was being reset before the ride could safely reopen.

Monsters, Inc. on the Way Out?
In addition to the incident, the guest also shared an intriguing comment overheard from a cast member. The cast member allegedly said, “It’s an old ride that won’t be here much longer, so it takes a while to restart.” This remark comes with the news that Monsters Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! attraction is on its way out, with an announced closure in early 2026.
Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! opened as a family-friendly dark ride at Disney California Adventure, taking guests through the world of Monsters, Inc., where they join Mike and Sulley on an adventure to save Boo. The ride has been a hit with families and Monsters Inc. fans, offering a lighthearted experience through the iconic world of the animated film.
Looking Ahead
Thankfully, the attraction has been able to reopen after the child was collected and the area was considered safe for function. Disney fans and theme park enthusiasts will be closely monitoring any further updates regarding this incident and any potential changes to the attraction’s status.
As always, guests are encouraged to remain safe while enjoying the resort’s many attractions and follow all safety protocols in place to prevent incidents like this one from occurring in the future.
