Over the weekend, a Disneyland guest was arrested after he was filmed tearing off his clothes and crawling around the iconic Small World ride in front of terrified and confused park-goers. The unidentified 26-year-old man was filmed in his boxers climbing over the animatronic figures and sitting in the pool next to the miniature Taj Mahal. Castmembers immediately went after him to get him to stop.
One rider confirmed to Entertainment Weekly what she experienced. Disney enthusiast Maegan Carmona, a Disney enthusiast who has her Instagram dedicated to her Disney visits posted a reel with the situation.
Carmona told EW that she and other riders noticed something was off at around 3 PM local time when their boats began to slow down. She then noticed a guest walking around in one of the off-limits parts of the ride, which prompted the ride to pause operations for around 20 minutes.
More attendees caught the act in real-time and posted their own reactions on social media.
“I am on Small World and there was a streaker,” Ashley Esqueda posted on Twitter. “I cannot believe this is happening.” He was then pictured walking around the park without his clothes as he left them in a pile on the side of the ride, which was shut down during the incident.
KTLA reported that Anaheim Police officers also arrived on the scene and arrested the unidentified man on suspicion of indecent exposure and being under the influence of a controlled substance. The ride resumed shortly after.
