Disney World STAMPEDE After False Active Shooter Scare in Magic Kingdom?!

A balloon popping at Magic Kingdom sparked a false active shooter scare, leading to a stampede. hey guys welcome back to clownfish TV this is neon I am here with geeky Sparkles hello and it's time for another daily dose of dismal Disney there's some uh dismal Disney news last night yeah so last night around the time the magic kingd was closing so around 10:00 um apparently from the sounds of it a balloon popped there was like a fight going on and then a balloon popped and people thought someone shot somebody another day at Magic so yeah so someone said there was a shooter and this caused you know Mass hysteria and there was a stampede and it was insane the police came and then when they investigated it they said that you know no it was just I think a balloon so we're going to we're going to look at all this stuff um but what's interesting to me and no one else is already mentioning this is D's already in a lawsuit for some woman claiming she was stampeded before this yeah so I mean this this does tend to happen just even working your way through the lines at Disney I'm trying to get to flight of Passage first thing in the morning you will get oh my gosh we'll talk about that what happened to our daughter um and then you know and then you know people don't understand personal face Mackie anyway um before we get into it any further before we into it any further Please Subscribe for more pop culture news views and rans guys get woohoo if you do woohoo uh yeah so I was vaguely aware of this last night you know more about than I do so let let me know what's going on here okay so apparently like I said there the was coming into the main stre USA cuz at the end of the day the parks are closing that's everybody has to go out that way you know so and that's one problem they have with this park like Epcot you have a couple different exits here you have one exit and it's very narrow and people are on Main Street you saying you're allowed to still shop like about what like half an hour after the park officially closed or something they'll take your money so yeah so people were in the shops leaving the park it's probably very congested I mean at that point in time there's a lot of people who already left but you when the park closes that area gets very very very full so it was already full and then this happened so somebody here we to look at some of these videos somebody put on Twitter they have a picture of in the Emporium and they're walking through and there's just merchandise everywhere and there's strollers laying around some of these pictures like people literally left their strollers behind I mean yeah if I thought there were gunshots I I would leave the stroller behind yeah they so this is one the post everybody sharing it's from this this D on on X I'm going to play it for you guys you want to put your heads on okay you see the walking through the Emporium like there's a stroller there dropped everything want a Disney stroller so they probably didn't give a crap um there's just stuff thrown everywhere oh my God yeah there people laying on the ground trying to like you know hide people probably got hurt cuz they got stampeded look at this this is crazy so there's there's one okay um there's other ones who will post like here pictures there's you know strollers lying around stuff thrown over you know the place actually expected it'd be a lot more dirty than this right right um someone said the scariest experience of my life waiting in the queue to get on the monre rail everybody starts screaming and shouting everybody dropping to the ground suspected guns Scare at Magic Kingdom here's a USA Today video from somebody they got on on Twitter okay popping sounds people [Music] panicking I love the the music it's like they say there was a big police presence yes just you Masseria there's just people like waiting around there's the Montreal they shot the Montreal down I believe well okay so here's here's the A stampede occurred in Magic Kingdom after a false active shooter rumor sparked by a fight and a popping sound, with no evidence of a gun present. thing though like I mean I don't blame people for being scared because if you remember the Pulse Nightclub shooting um I guess originally he was going to try to go to Disney Springs MH but they they stopped him and then he wound up going the nightclub instead so yeah I mean if you're I mean how somebody would even get a gun into Disney World with the security Now is beyond me but you know stranger things have happened yeah so here someone said model reports of guns scared Magic Kingdom going through cops everywhere tons fi backstage mons closed items left on Main Street his families dit everything to hide horrifyingly scary situation the person said there was a [ __ ] Stampede in Magic Kingdom I think people thought there was a shooter scariest thing i' ever been in my life so what we're hearing over and over again there's the police was the Stampede uh was a big problem which we're going to talk about in a second then a little bit after that the sheriff's office said there was no active shooter a fight occurred and a popping sound was heard what we believe was a balloon guests began running and that's how the active shooter rumor started there is no active shooter at the parks disy did release a statement which is very nothing Burger over the whole thing they said we appreciate the immediate response of the Orange County Sheriff's Office to quickly assess and clear the situation normal operations have resumed that the park is now closed for the evening that's they said yeah there's no reports they don't say who got injured or whatever yeah cuz I'm I'm sure they're probably giving them free uh free Power Aid or something free F we talk about that we'll talk about that in a minute yeah I mean they don't want the bad press are probably trying to downplay it as much as they possibly can right because I mean look their their attendance is already down people are already mad at Disney for the price gouging and all that stuff the last thing you want out there and when you're trying to get people to the park and people are already mad at you is oh yeah by the way you might get shot here too yeah yeah now we don't know how people got injured I can't think people didn't get injured if they were stampeding and and frantically like ditching their stuff and running um I know they had people going backstage behind the areas because behind the Main Street buildings what you don't see is there is a backstage area and like during the parades and stuff people need to exit sometimes they'll take you around the backstage and circumvent the area and come out by the exit you know so I know people were going back to the backstage area and stuff like that they were having them go out that way which isn't unusual but the main streak plugs it's very narrow and it will completely plug up so it was I'm sure people got hurt there's no way people didn't get shoved into things are hurt um we have personally been injured in Disney during stampedes multiple times because they have an issue with stampeding and we're you talk about there's a lawsuit involving that which is why I'm surprised no one's brought that up this Stampede and potential injuries occur at Disney World's Magic Kingdom after an active shooter scare causes guests to rush to popular rides and restaurants. is going to give that person way more leverage but like if you go to rope drop and you want to go to as you said flight a passage for example some of the big in demand rides you need a you know virtual cure lightning Lane for but a lot of them have standby lines so people were going to rush those lines I know like seven d mine train or the Tron or not Tron coaster but the uh Space Mountain things like that they have lines that people rush for yeah we were in this happened a couple times Animal Kingdom we've seen injuries during the Stampede because what happens is they might let you in the gate and then everybody runs to the bridge and right ahead of Pandora to get in line for flight of Passage um one time a girl got injured trying to pass you we were just trying to go to the restaurant that was certain breakfast at the time you weren't even trying to get in line for play passes she was afraid you were going to beat her she went across the rocks and the trees tripped and she probably broke her arm or leg I don't I think it was her leg I think her she might broke her ankle yeah she was trying to go across the uh the landscape little landscaped area there um it's kind of like a a triangular shape and there's you know multiple Pathways whatever but yeah she cuz she thought I was going to the ride and I wasn't I was going to the gift shop M we were going no we were going to the restaurant the restaurant yeah and and uh so she tried to get in front of me I'm like then she got hurt dad kind of like we had to wait to get cast members for her for that and her family caught up there I think she was running ahead which that Disney now I've noticed that they won't let you get in lines for a big attractions unless your part's with you I think because of this situation um another time we've talked about this before we were going to go to rope drop and we were there early we were at the front and we started going and this woman with a stroller a jogging stroller was running past us and cut our son off when she cut our son off like I mean literally like like an inch cut him off yeah he stopped short cuz he was going to get hit and then his sister ran into him and then she fell smashed her phone broke her phone cut up yep um I had to grab her and run because and she was upset she was so mad at me because she couldn't figure out why I wouldn't stop take care of her I couldn't if I stopped to take care of her she would have got trampled cuz we were at the front the pack was behind if we didn't if I didn't get her out of there and this is a narrow walkway with no place to pull off if I didn't get her off there we were going to get trampled so I had to run with her to the ROP drop well not run but we walked really fast to rope drop and then when I got to the Rope drop line to wait I could I could ask assess her injury and take care of her and decide if we had to take her to a restroom or something she would turn out to be okay um she was cut up pretty good I had first aid but I couldn't just stop because if I had just stopped we would definitely have gotten trampled this is how bad it gets so the stampeding thing A recent active shooter scare at Disney World's Magic Kingdom has raised concerns about crowd control and safety. is a big problem at these parks and they're facing a lawsuit currently um this is like when it's not and this is when it's not a panic okay so I can only imagine how much worse a panic would have been at that point people are going to lose all you know care about their people and they're going to trample you they don't care like they trample you for the for the line but they'll at least kind of like you know keep their distance but if this happen people thought it was like for death they're going to trample you but Disney's already facing a lawsuit we talked about it before um August 23rd there was mentioned that this woman from PA Deborah o oin oston uh was visiting the park in June a crowd rushed her heading to an unnamed event it was probably either one of the fireworks shows or like a parade most likely a parade and she said defendant was having an event defendant was having an event starting soon and a crowd of people rushed plaintiff and knocked her over and stampede on Main Street again Main Street which is very narrow and she has permanent injuries which include permanent injury to her body lost wages and lost of ability to lead and enjoy a normal life because she got trampled by this stampede so they're already in a lawsuit currently which I was surprised they haven't yet used the Disney plus defense on this one the terms of service on this one um or if you had the app she apparently claims that she was there as for a business dealing they said that she was a business invitee she was there to do business with land owner so I don't know if that's like she was a media person or what but uh they didn't she's arguing they properly notify her that there was danger and they didn't control the crowds so there's already an ongoing lawsuit about this ahead of this incident happening yeah not not not good no it's not it's not a good look like look every bad headline scares people away from going to Disney and they're already dealing with negative headlines from again the rivers of America debacle the potential closure of Muppets the price gouging mostly the price gouging and the politics and the price gouging and also the price gouging and and then to be like oh yeah and you might not be completely safe at Disney either you know uh if it's not if it's not an active shooter it could be uh just you getting run over by a bunch of car right you're more likely to get run over by a bunch of people then you are to get you know shot at Disney but you know never say never yeah it's I mean I broke my A stampede occurred at Magic Kingdom due to an active shooter scare, causing people to run and potentially leading to injuries. ribs I cracked my ribs that wasn't a stampede stroller that was stroller stroller is terrible can you imagine the Stampede with people running out their stroll they grabbed their kids in a stroller and started running yeah there were a there were I can't even imagine the injuries from this there were a couple of strollers there but like every other party has a stroller and sometimes you got like 12-year-old kids sitting in these damn strollers adults in the strollers and the kids pushing the adults I'm not kidding they're probably using their kids as a battering ram to try to get out now I mean the good news is it was later in the evening so they might people with kids mostly probably left at that point I would assume I mean there strollers there so not everyone but I would assume most people with little small children would have left already but they said there was kids crying and stuffff I can't imagine I mean you're just sitting there minding your own business and this this wall of people starts running at you screaming about a shooter I I mean this now I want to make it very clear this is not a I was going to say it's not a normal Occurrence at the parks it's not normal occurrence to have a stamped over a shooter it is a normal Occurrence at the park so to have a stampede yes I don't think this I think this level was far worse than anything you'd see with rope drop but it happens and you got to be aware around you um I think your most dangerous times would be rope drop at the end of the day when everybody's leaving the parks and I would say anytime there's like a parade or something or show that people are wanting to rush to go get a good spot for those are your most likely chances of being smashed in a in a stampede most of the time You' probably be okay even though they do pack them in really tight in in you know Main Street yeah I um I don't know this this isn't this isn't Chaos erupts at Disney World's Magic Kingdom due to a power outage, active shooter scare, and monorail issues, causing stampedes and guest disruptions. gonna I mean I hope everybody's okay I hope so too because I have got a feeling that there's people that were injured and you'll never hear about it because they'll give them free Power Aid and and fast passes okay so yeah um once upon a time we were one of the ones that were in the in the group that was you know in a in a position that they felt like they had to do something we were on monreal we were on Montreal blue the time that the piece fell off the Montreal and hit the car and then the Montreal was smoking kind of sparking and um that would we were in there we were in there yeah I think I was actually on the news you were um you we finally picked up the you picked up the phone and called the the driver like hey it's smoking bad hey yeah I think The Montreal's on fire or something so do they ended up shutting the whole power down so you couldn't even have like normally if there there something happened and they stopped they these run air conditioning they had no air conditioning so we're in the the the PE smelling Montreal with no air conditioning and the windows don't just open I mean they do but ours wouldn't open and then yeah that didn't even work they have a safety feature that they're supposed to be you can pop out some of them did but ours wouldn't even open ours wouldn't even open it so crusty um some of the people open the windows and po the windows out so we had air good for that was after the storm ended cuz we were in it was like really hot and there was a storm and we were stuck up on the mon in Florida imagine that yeah and um they towed us back we weren't that far out from the the Magic Kingdom yeah and they towed us back in and we got off the Montreal cuz we were up there like wow like an hour and a half or something like that oh my God yeah was so H and and had Gatorades and Waters and and they had a bus ready to take people to we were headed to we were head to Epcot so they had a bus take us to Epcot and they gave people fast passes for everything but Frozen everything but the good ride good ride Everything But the good ride if you want to use it at Hollywood you could but you couldn't ride anything the good rides either yeah and um then immediately people got thinking they were making the money saine with their fingers like we want money we want money oh my God yeah dude we were only on the Montreal it wasn't that bad so this is where no one was injured it just hot this is where where it's I mean this is where I'm torn on this one because Disney gets sued a lot but they also have a because they're Disney and they have Deep Pockets there's a lot of frivolous lawsuits so you know even going back to the uh the restaurant the Disney Springs thing I'm kind of like you know that the lawyer is probably like making the money symbol and Disney's like well I signed up for Disney plus so I know I know these people were like you know thinking paid I'm like well I mean you you weren't really injured dude but I mean these A possible active shooter scare at Disney World's Magic Kingdom led to a stampede and likely injuries, but the incident may be kept under wraps due to liability concerns. people here are probably injured it's like oh like the Skyliner in where people were injured on that one and they were trapped for hours remember yeah and then that then all of a sudden never were allowed to talk about it just went away I very much doubt you unless someone that files a lawsuit I very much doubt you'll hear much about it because I'm sure they were you know what would pay you off if you promis not to do anything can you imagine what their liability insurance must cost oh I'm sure it's awful I can't imagine I mean it's I I read one time that the just the cost of operations of running Disney World every day is just mind-blowingly expensive I'm sitting there thinking just just like what you know cuz we're small business owners and I know what we pay in insurance and I'm like what are they paying the insurance I'm sure it's insane especially since they have claims all the time sure yeah so anyway like this is an isolated incident it's not something that happens all the time I want make sure it very clear it's not like oh my God Disney's like you know terrible because it's it's understandable you know misunderstanding but unfortunately it probably led to injuries and the takeaway here is Disney might want to look into doing something about their crowd control issues because you know there you get stampeded on a normal day I can't imagine what it was like on this day so um you know I don't I don't think this is going to happen all the time but be aware of what's going on around you especially at rope drop especially at the end of the day and during parades because it's very possible that you can get trampled and that's what happened to this poor woman and she's already suing Disney and no one even is tying that in but she's already suing Disney for injuries for a stampede I don't know what's going to happen with this situation it's it's been an issue for a very long time so yeah that's a really narrow exit there Disney might replace Main Street USA with a more generic, IP-based area, sparking potential fan backlash. it's hard it's very narrow oh don't don't don't tell them that because they'll be like you know what we're going to get rid of Main Street USA trying to I I I've been hearing actually you've been saying that since um they did the uh d23 event that you were hearing right away that they were worried that they might take away me USA because it's too American well they actually have in in Shanghai they have uh like a Mickey's Toontown Main Street which is very generic oh my God and it's IP IP better not now the one thing that's cool the reason they did that though the reason they did that in China is China has no connection to you know turn of the century American yeah so it makes total sense to like let's just do Toontown as a you know a main street but I could totally see them doing it they better not I can see CU if they're oh you think the people were rote over the rivers of America if they mess with Main Street oh mama that's not going to go well based on Walt's Hometown let's just let's just throw some IP in the Main Street think with li Square I'm going to throw hands so anyway they're going to I I I can almost guarantee it they're going to get rid of every trace of uh turn of the century Americana that's and I guess you go to Dollywood at that point cuz that's all that Park is I mean you they think frontierland has people mad and America they dick with Main Street in Liberty Square too oh I I feel for them I hope they aren't thinking that um even though it's rumored that they are Mick's going to dick you Micky Mick's going to get no money and if he get that people are just going to not go they're going to refuse so anyway we going to wrap this up yeah let's wrap it up please subscribe for more pop culture news views and rants we'll talk later bye
