ACCIDENT

Disaster at Disney World

A 21-year-old Walt Disney World employee was killed on Sunday when two of the park's futuristic, elevated monorail trains collided. The crash occurred near the entrance to the Magic Kingdom, at around 2:00 a.m. No tourists were seriously hurt, though six were on the train that crashed. Disney World has closed the monorail system—normally used to carry tourists between parks and resorts--for the day but the park is otherwise operating normally. The cause of the crash, the first fatal accident in the monorail's decades-long history, is still being investigated.

Or just a nasty accident. Stop seeing things where there might not be any.

Is there a chance the track could bend?

More Disney
Orwellian hush-hush.
I'm sure anything messy
Was hurried off via underground passages
Where Donald and Goofy
Usually strong-arm anyone who misbehaves
Out of the park by way of
Secret passages.
Disney creeps me out.

I think they also determined many of the employees were child predators and they had to clean that up. Not a good place to lose your kid in. My boys thought it was great but that was years ago and I kept them close.
