Following a minor earthquake in California, Disneyland closes few rides.
Numerous rides had to close due to a minor earthquake that occurred on Monday near Disneyland, leaving guests with nothing to do while staff carried out necessary safety procedures before the rides were reopened. At least 35 rides had to be temporarily closed due to an earthquake that occurred in Fullerton, which is located about 2 miles north of Disneyland. “It seemed to be directly beneath our table during Jolly Holiday,” Shanna Fogelman posted on Instagram. “More than you would imagine, shook things up.” Fullerton was the epicenter of Monday’s 3.5-magnitude earthquake, which was reported by the U.S. Geological Survey at 8:10 p.m. A little aftershock occurred at 8:30 p.m. Disney California Adventure and Disneyland both reported no initial damage. While damage is extremely unlikely, guests will experience some inconvenience while rides are inspected. The Disneyland app states that as of Monday night at nine o’clock in the evening, most of the attractions at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure were temporarily closed. All attractions at California Adventure were closed, with the exception of Mickey’s Philharmonic, Luigi’s Joy to the Whirl, Mater’s Jingle Jamboree, and Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind. At Disneyland, only the Mad Tea Party and the Jungle Cruise were operating. Big Thunder Mountain, Indiana Jones Adventure, Matterhorn Bobsleds, Pirates of the Caribbean, Rise of the Resistance, Space Mountain, the holiday edition of It’s a Small World, and the brand-new Adventureland Treehouse were among the rides that Disneyland temporarily closed. Radiator Springs Racers, Web Slingers, Toy Story Midway Mania, Soarin’ Around the World, and the Incredicoaster were among the Disney California Adventure attractions that were closed. Photographer Elise Delamare from Napa stated on Instagram, “All rides are down, all lines are closed, and they are telling us after safety protocols are passed they’ll open them back up.” As a safety measure, workers from DCA and Disneyland evacuated a few rides.
