NOT THE HAPPIEST PLACE

Dozens of Passengers Rescued From Disneyland Monorail

Some 60 people are thought to have been stranded.

Dozens of Disneyland California customers had to be evacuated from the theme park’s monorail after getting trapped on it for hours, according to local reports. The incident at the Los Angeles amusement park left about 60 people stranded near Space Mountain on Thursday, after the monorail’s central beam lost power, a resort spokesperson told Eyewitness News. KTLA 5 reports that personnel from the Anaheim Fire Department responded shortly before 5 p.m., using ladders to get people down. No one was hurt in the fiasco, and all passengers were evacuated by around 7 p.m., Matt Sutter of the Anaheim Police Department said. NBC Los Angeles reports that its helicopter spotted two trains stuck on the track during the incident. No explanation has been given for the power outage on the 2.5-mile-long transport system at the time of writing, although the Daily Beast has contacted Disney for further information.
