Aladdin Central Messageboard

I just saw on the news that last night at Disneyland, the Aladdin float in the A Christmas Fantasy parade hit four people, sending one to the hospital. It sounds like everyone's okay, but not without bumps and bruises. The news article is here: http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/news/122804_nwAP_disney_accident.html

Here's a pic of the float:

Ouch.

Doesn't look good for Disney in the PR department.

The past year has not been good to them at all in the theme park safety PR department. Sad

Three crashes at DL's Big Thunder within a year, the death at WDW's Magic Kingdom during the Share a Dream Come True Parade, and now this. Sad

Thankfully, everyone is alright. Geez, and I thought Aladdin was only damaging to my social life. Wink

The funny thing with the Big Thunder accidents... after the first one, I said "Oh, well after all that, now it's gonna be the safest ride in the park." And less than two weeks later, it crashed again. So I said, "Oh, come on, lightning won't strike three times." Apparently it does. After all that, though, it's still one of my favorite rides in the park, although I admit that I cringe when I enter that tunnel...

Today was the last day of the Christmas parade, and I was at the park. The float is still in the parade, but Genie drives WAY more slowly than before, and doesn't go anywhere near the audience.
