Credit: Inside the MagicDisneyland Resort guests recently experienced an unfortunate meltdown across Disney California Adventure Park. Visitors went from broken attraction to broken attraction, growing more frantic as it seemed like half of the park was shut down.
On July 24, Redditor u/fryeguy2020 shared their unfortunate experience at Disney California Adventure Park, calling it a “crazy day:”
We got either stuck on the ride, or were next in line on the ride when it broke, SIX times!!
It started to become comical. We had a lightning lane for the incredicoaster, but there were people stuck on it so we went the California Zephyr. It broke down as we were next. Then went to goofys flight school. Again broke down right before it was our turn. Then went on Webslingers, got stuck on the ride. Then went on Soaring, got stuck on the ride right at the end of the flight. Then went on the Toy Story Midway ride, I joked about “wouldn’t it be funny if went down while we were on it” and damn if it didn’t right after the first game.
Another Disney California Adventure Park guest, u/EscapeGoat81, made the most of their day–but it required a lot of patience.
“We had fun – but the rides had lots of issues,” the Disney Park guest recalled. “Incredicoaster was down all day. Radiator Springs didn’t open on time. Throughout the day, we saw almost every other ride break down. You definitely need to pack your patient pants!”
Some commenters shared similar experiences from other Disney parks. u/HiLLCoUnTrYHiLLbiLLy wrote:
Ironically we had the same kind of day at Disney world Hollywood studios on the same Thursday. Thankfully our other days at the park were successful. But Thursday at Hollywood studios was a great disappointment. I really feel like we should be compensated for a redo but I am guessing that isn’t a thing. Even the final show Fantasmic went wrong and got canceled. We went in early to get a seat and after 5 minutes it was over. Sorry that happened to yall. It stinks
Disneyland Resort didn’t issue a public statement about the operational difficulties at Disney California Adventure Park on July 24. Attraction breakdowns at the Disney parks are normal and usually resolve within a few hours.
