‘Disney Adult’ Caught Crying Over Disney Closure
Space Mountain, one of the iconic attractions at Disneyland Park, was closed on August 5 for essential refurbishments. These refurbishments are crucial for ensuring the ongoing safety and optimal performance of this beloved roller coaster ride. Visitors and fans of Space Mountain alike can look forward to experiencing an enhanced and improved ride once it reopens its doors on September 6.
During this temporary closure, Disney enthusiasts can explore the many other enchanting attractions that Disneyland Resort has to offer, creating lasting memories in the magical realm of Disney. While this change is accepted by many, not all fans are having such a calm response.
In the now-viral video, the fan is seen crying in a car, visibly upset, and animatedly expressing his disappointment. His over-the-top reaction, complete with exaggerated gestures and vocal distress, quickly caught the attention of TikTok users.
The fan, who is listening to the Space Mountain soundtrack, appears to be on the verge of tears, dramatically lamenting the temporary closure of one of Disney’s most popular attractions.
Fans Relate to Hysterial Viral Clip
Due to the fact that the video was posted by a group of online TikTok comedians, many viewers have speculated that the fan’s meltdown is a satirical take on the intense emotions that Disney fans sometimes display, especially when faced with ride closures or other park disruptions.
Whether or not the video is intended as a humorous exaggeration of the passion that Disney enthusiasts have for their favorite attractions is yet to be determined.
However, some view the video as a genuine outburst of frustration, reflecting the real emotions that can arise when a cherished attraction is unexpectedly closed. Commenters relate, saying:
“This was actually me as a kid when we were on our way there and I found out splash mountain was closed.”
“me when i renewed my magic key in Feb then hearing Haunted Mansion was going to be closed majority of the year.”

Disneyland Resort has not officially commented on the video, but it is clear that ride closures are a routine part of park maintenance. Space Mountain, like all major attractions, undergoes periodic maintenance to ensure safety and performance.
As the video continues to spread across social media, it serves as both a reflection of the deep affection many have for Disney and a testament to the power of internet culture to turn everyday moments into viral phenomena. What do you think about this viral clip?
