Rumors Of Disneyland Haunted Mansion Death Have Been Clarified By Local PD, But Questions Remain

by

Just weeks after a death at Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe following a roller coaster ride, another incident has occurred at a major theme park. This time, someone died at Disneyland after riding an attraction. While details are still emerging, initial reports confirm a death occurred.

A Woman Died After Riding Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion

According to reports, a woman in her 60s died Monday evening after riding the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. Rumors circulated online about a death on the ride, and those rumors have now been confirmed. After exiting the attraction, the woman was found unresponsive. Paramedics were called and transported her to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Authorities haven’t yet determined how the person died. TMZ suggests a heart attack might be the cause, but it’s unclear where they got that information. They also report there was no evidence of wrongdoing. The Haunted Mansion ride is still open and operating as usual, meaning investigators don’t believe the ride itself played a role.

If you haven’t experienced it before, the Haunted Mansion is a slow-moving dark ride – it’s not fast or rough. Although it’s often considered Disneyland’s scariest ride, it’s more fun and silly than truly frightening.

This is particularly noticeable at the moment because the ride is currently decorated for the holidays with a *Nightmare Before Christmas* theme. The few spooky parts of the original ride are swapped out for things that are more suitable for families.

Opened in 1969, the Haunted Mansion is a favorite ride for many Disneyland visitors, often considered one of the best. It’s a special attraction because Walt Disney was involved in its development, though it was finished after his death. Designers debated making it truly frightening, but ultimately decided on a lighter, more playful tone. The ride does feature one potentially disturbing image – a ghostly figure who appears to have hanged himself – and there’s been recent talk about whether to change that element.

Haunted Mansion Incident Follows One At Epic Universe

It’s incredibly sad to hear about another death at Universal Orlando. Just recently, a guest was found unresponsive on the Stardust Racers coaster at Epic Universe and sadly passed away at the hospital. This follows a similar tragedy in Orlando where Kevin Zavala died after suffering multiple injuries. The investigation found the ride itself was working as it should, and it actually reopened this weekend, but it’s still a really tough situation for everyone involved.

Despite the rumor that no one has ever died at Disneyland, sadly, that’s not true. There have been a few deaths at the park over the years, but usually these were due to health issues or other causes unrelated to the park itself – it’s simply where the person happened to be when it occurred. Given the millions of visitors Disney Parks receive annually, unfortunate incidents are statistically possible. Our team at TopMob sends our condolences to the family of the woman who recently passed away at Disneyland.
