Disneyland Visitor Dies After Riding Haunted Mansion

She suffered a heart attack on the attraction and was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

A Disneyland visitor has died after suffering a heart attack on the Haunted Mansion attraction at the California amusement park, officials said. The woman in her 60s was visiting the Anaheim park Monday when she experienced the medical episode, police told Entertainment Weekly. Disneyland security provided CPR until paramedics arrived to transport her to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Her identity has not been released. The Orange County Sheriff-Coroner “will determine the cause of death” at a later time, Matt Sutter of the Anaheim Police Department told the outlet. The woman’s death comes less than a month after a man died while riding the roller coaster, Stardust Racers, at Universal Epic Universe in Orlando, Universal’s newest theme park that opened in May. Disney’s Haunted Mansion, which opened in 1969, is one of the park’s most beloved rides. The spooky attraction was also one of the last that had input from Walt Disney, who died in 1966. Guests are taken on a ride through rooms that have a host of “ghosts,” including a floating head and a dining room filled with specters.
