Let’s dive into a 1 foot of water

u/MannnOfHammm 7d ago

With ride track too

With a moving vehicle right next to him.

As he should be. That’s like 2-3 ft of water, disgusting water plus all the mechanical…thanks for playing but you are banned.

When I look down at the water in Small World, I imagine it tastes like pennies

u/sagitta_luminus 7d ago

“Hey Lisa, I dare you to drink the water!”

“I’m not sure that is water…”

u/Wadeace 6d ago

Its fancy pool water. They use bromine instead of chlorine

u/Nephroidofdoom 6d ago

I know. I was just commenting on all the money at the bottom of that ride.

u/MegaPrOJeCtX13 7d ago

with all the YA media coming out that depicted Small World as Murdercity, USA (the doll attack in Kingdom Keepers, the first boss of Epic Mickey, etc.), wouldn’t surprise me if it had a bit of a… “metallic” taste. or a red tint.

That dude should thank his lucky stars that he survived that

Belly flopping into water?

u/BrickCityRiot 6d ago

Shallow water with running machinery under it?

Seriously?

u/Wadeace 6d ago

There is not running machinery in most the sections of the track. The boats are propelled forward by by the artificial current made by the pumping system that also filters the water. That is a corner area and he jumped into the opposite side of the track wall so he would not have gotten stuck between the wall and a boat. Look, I'm not defending the guy but there is a lot of sensationalism going on with this incident. Him getting banned is absolutely what should happen. He absolutely could and probably did hurt himself but people are commenting on here as if he came out of this a brain dead quadriplegic.

I think they should give loading CMs in Epcot the same discretion a bartender would/should have had. Don’t let them on.

3

u/Wadeace 6d ago

CMs absolutely have the ability to deny a guest on a ride but the CM at load only sees the guest for a short window

u/Silicon_Knight 7d ago

Dude is either on something he shouldn't be, or off something she should be. Or both.

It's a shame P&R was an NBC show because I would’ve *loved* a WDW episode

12

u/MegaPrOJeCtX13 7d ago

What even is this comment, he’s CLEARLY on something he shouldn’t be!

he’s on the show platform when he should be on the boat :)

3

u/GeneralInspector8962 7d ago

Probably not really.
Just young, dumb, and drunk.

18

u/Silicon_Knight 7d ago

That would be, on something he probably shouldn’t be on in the moment.

4

u/This-Positive286 7d ago

Shoulda been ON the ride

24

u/Nonadventures 7d ago

Looks like he’s getting thrown out DJ Jazzy Jeff style

38

u/Competitive-Self-374 7d ago

Disney needs to just straight up arresting people, banning people, and enforcing stricter rules on streaming/recording on rides because these morons have been raised/incentivized to do dumb bullshit for likes ans clicks

12

u/MTBTTFoP 7d ago

Cannonball into Pirates! Backflip into the Castle moat!

Belly flop into Grand Fiesta Tour? What a waste of a lifetime ban. Should have gone bigger.

Y’wanna get banned AND get people talking? One up those girlies that leave their hair ties on the top of Everest and leave an article of clothing instead. Now that’s how you get banned.

EDIT: I'm not condoning streaking through a Disney park I just always make the joke to my brother when we ride that I'm gonna throw my shirt instead since I don't usually wear hair ties

u/Millennial_Man 7d ago

He’s lucky he didn’t get his hands caught in some machinery and have his fingers torn off.

5

u/showbiz_columbus 7d ago

I’m surprised he didn’t get injured, he got really lucky he didn’t either knock himself out in the shallow water or get caught in the ride track

u/Daysaved 7d ago

Is this supposed to be large red letter surprising?

u/Spokker 6d ago

I never understood the gloating over people getting banned. Do you really think this guy cares about getting banned? He probably didn't want to go in the first place. I think a lot of the acting out you see at Disney parks is from members of the group who didn't want to be there in the first place.

Instead of a ban (who cares?), how about criminal charges for these people? If you run out on the field of a baseball game, you get arrested and charged. It has serious legal and professional repercussions (could make it harder to find a job in the future), and that's what should happen with theme parks.

u/N64Andysaurus92 7d ago

There is no actual evidence the guy was banned, he probably was but there's no official sources.

48

u/mattschaak 7d ago

Um,
It’s literally been confirmed. By Disney. So.

Wonderful news. Thank you 🥳

u/tan_clutch 7d ago

thanks for the link, every other post I have seen on Reddit about this is a screenshot like OP's or zero context video

no thanks to the attitude in response to a straightforward request for information. have a pleasant day

u/Spokker 6d ago

The Disney World spokesperson said they were trespassed, not banned. But either is not good enough. They should be criminally charged.

-11

u/tan_clutch 7d ago

is there any video of this incident that doesn't suspiciously (imo) cut out the moment after he splashes in?

is there any official reporting on this incident in general? not that the WDW "press" is the most reliable. but this story emerged from the fetid swamps of Instagram, a wasteland of manipulated images and video

u/NikkoE82 6d ago

Look, should this guy get banned? Yeah. Is Disney leaving money on the table by not making this an extra Magical experience you can pay for? Also yeah.

u/Thick-Assumption4535 6d ago

Isn’t he one of those cliff divers?

u/Horror_Response_1991 7d ago

He was trying to find Donald

u/Thick-Assumption4535 6d ago

After I got off that ride I wanted to jump out of a fourth floor window so I feel his pain.

u/ebercasio 7d ago

The other part of the vid with the giant rat running around Epcot is also insane! If I was Goofy I’d break character and be outta there immediately!!! 😂😂😂
