[Other] My Most Terrifying Moment at Disneyland

[Not My Real Name]

I don't recall the exact day, but what happened is that I was riding the Skyway from Tomorrowland and in front of me were two young boys. Halfway to the Matterhorn, they started to swing their "bucket" from side to side. I was terrified. I had visions of their "bucket" (or mine) coming off the cable and plunging to the ground. Then I had the terrifying thought that their "bucket" would crash into the Matterhorn and then they would fall down. Then I thought of the cable coming off the wheels and the whole ride coming down. I screamed at them to stop, but they ignored me.

Fortunately, none of that happened. We passed through the Matterhorn with no incident and the kids didn't swing their "bucket" any more, but they were taken off the ride at Fantasyland and, I supposed, thrown out of the park and, I hope, banned from the park for life. Maybe it was incidents like this that led to the ride being taken down here and at WDW and why no other Disney park has ever had one.

Anything like this happen to you?

I should have been more clear. What I'd like to know is what was your most terrifying moment at Disneyland.

Re: My Most Terrifying Moment at Disneyland

we went through the castle walkthrough for the first time in a long time. we got to the part where you have to look in a really small window into what looks like a hallway of some sort.

we were looking in, and since it's so small, we had to get really close. our faces were crowding the little window. then the little monster/goblin pops up and all of us jump back and scream, falling and tripping all over each other. it was terrifying. but then we laughed at each other at our embarrassing fiasco.

We actually never found one, so my brother pushed some random door open. It made some really loud noise. I think we broke it because it never closed and was stuck so we had to run away. We never went back there again. (Not like I was planning on it anyways)

They really need to make the exits more clear.

The most terrifying thing that ever happened to me at Disneyland is I rode IASW 16 times, in a row, I've never recovered, sometimes late at night I have flashbacks and can hear the faint sounds of ......

Did you go upstairs first?

Re: My Most Terrifying Moment at Disneyland

there's an upstairs?

Re: My Most Terrifying Moment at Disneyland

Did you go upstairs first?

No.... well I guess that explains it. Still, how was I supposed to know that? They have no signs! I'm sure they could afford to put up a couple signs.....

And since when do you exit a building by going upstairs?

Ya kinda sorta do the same thing on Pirates.


Not that that answer has anything to do with anything, really.


Okay...I'm done now.

Re: My Most Terrifying Moment at Disneyland

my most terrifying moment happened on maliboomer and i will not get on this ride again because of it. I was on the ride and it started like every other time. Except this time when the ride shot us up in the air it felt to me that my shoulder harness came unlatched. I heard the click and the harness lifted up. Because of the seat belt attached at the bottom the harness did not fly completely up. I pulled the harness back down as soon as we reached the top of the ride and it clicked in again. and didn't happen the rest of the ride. As the ride ended i informed the cast member what i felt had happened and she took my account very seriously and shut down that tower to have it looked at. When i think back on it now i tell my self there was no way i was in danger. I know that the harness did move and i had to pull it back down. Did it move all the way up or was i just freaking out when it only moved to the next click up? I'm not sure, but i could swear that the only thing that kept the harness from flying all the way up was the seat belt at the bottom.

I'm glad the CM took it seriously. This reminds of a fatality that happen in Great America (Northern CA) back in the 90's. Some young boy wiggled out of the harness on "Drop Zone" and fell to his death. It was a very eerie experience being there that day.

I came within half a second of being run over by a Snow White ride vehicle.

Or at least, that's what it seemed like to me.
