Over the years, we’ve seen guests do a lot of crazy things both inside and outside of the Disney parks and resorts. From fistfights in Fantasyland to getting naked on the Walt Disney World Skyliner, there’s no end to the absurd things guests are willing to do at these magical theme parks.
That is not to say that Disney does not have rules for its guests because it certainly does. Guests visiting Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and the rest of the international theme parks will find that there are dozens of rules they are expected to follow.
Getting guests to follow these rules is quite a challenge, however. If you’ve ever been to a theme park, you’ll certainly know that the #1 rule is to keep your hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the ride vehicle at all times.
Not only does this protect you and other guests, but it also ensures the attraction itself is not damaged. Guests who do not listen to these rules can negatively impact hundreds of other guests, whether they be waiting in line for a ride like Space Mountain or if they’re on the actual attraction.
Unfortunately, this is exactly what happened at Disneyland’s iconic ride Space Mountain, with a video shared online that went viral.
When you think of Disney roller coasters, you probably think of Space Mountain. Sure, rides like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Matterhorn Bobsleds, and even Expedition Everest. However, none of Disney’s roller coasters are as timeless or beloved as Space Mountain.
A video shared online showed an entire family hopping out of their ride vehicle after Spice Mountain encountered a technical issue. Rides coming to a halt are pretty common, not just at Disney but at every theme park, such as Six Flags, Universal Studios, and SeaWorld. It’s crucial that guests remain seated during these stoppages, as it’s usually quite common for the ride to start up again.
However, when the work lights come on, you can guarantee your Mickey Ears that you’ll be evacuating very soon. When this happens, guests are supposed to wait for cast members to assist them when disembarking their ride vehicles.
In the video, the guest, along with their party, take matters into their own hands and hops out of the ride themselves.

This type of behavior is strictly prohibited by Disney and can even result in the party getting banned from the Disneyland Resort as a result. It’s crucial that guests follow these rules so that they remain safe and in good standing with The Mouse.
…I would do the same thing. If the incompetent pedophiles at Disney can’t keep their ride in safe, working order it should be shut down. I’d sue them for putting my family’s life at risk. Whomever made this video is an idiot, and Disney is going to kill someone someday with crap like this. I hope they go bankrupt before that. And who wrote this tripe article? They didn’t “jump off” the ride…they got off the broken down piece of wet-feces ride because it broke down. Liars.
