In a social media post, Disneyland guests were waiting to ride their first “big kid” ride which was Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain when the car returns to the starting point and another guest is found unconscious with a child looking up at her. After a few minutes the guest woke back up and seemed to be okay.

“About to jump on our first ‘big ride’ on day 1 earlier this week and the car pulls up with an unconscious woman and a slightly bewildered ~9 yo looking up at her. Think she was ok after a few mins but she was out cold as it pulled in. Gave a few members in our party pause for thought before jumping on.”

Experiencing unconsciousness while on a Disney attraction is rare and concerning and can occur due to a combination of factors, including physical and emotional responses to the intense sensory experiences provided by the attractions. Disney theme parks are designed to be immersive and exhilarating, but for some individuals, the combination of excitement, motion, and other factors might lead to fainting or loss of consciousness during the ride.

If you experience any issues while at the Disney parks, let your nearest Cast Member know and they will get you the help that you need.
