In a social media post, Disney guests talk about a scary moment when their father wanted to ride the Tower of Terror at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. After they rode the Disney park attraction, the father fell ill and was unwell in the bushes for 45 minutes. They had to remove him with a wheelchair. Disney Cast Members helped give him a drink and made sure he made it safely to the car. This guest had to take it easy the next day.
“My dad had a severe vertigo episode after Tower of Terror (we did suggest he should give it a miss, but he had loved it so much in the past and insisted). He spent 45 minutes being “unwell” in some bushes, and we had to take him out in a wheelchair. CMs were incredibly helpful, gave him a drink, and even made sure the chair wasn’t taken off of us when we got to the edge of the parking lot (we returned it after we got him safely into the car). He was fine after a long sleep and taking it easy the next day, but he was 75, and we were all really scared. Forever referred to as the “Tower of Error.”
Disney World is dedicated to making its parks accessible to guests with different needs, including those with disabilities or medical conditions. The Disability Access Service (DAS) allows individuals who cannot wait in traditional lines due to their medical condition to access attractions with reduced wait times. Disney World’s Guest Services team is always ready to assist guests in need if you or someone in your party begins to feel unwell or needs assistance.
