TRUE or FALSE: An actual policy at all Disney parks states that "no one is allowed to die on park property"?

Quite false.

Disneyland in CA has, in fact, had many deaths. They have been handled by the Orange County Coroner's Office. Disney has a full functioning hospital hidden in the park. They can handle any usual emergency including accidents. They are private property and so probably have their own ambulances. This is because their ambulances would get on the scene faster than waiting for an outside ambulance to arrive and make it's way to the victim.

Disney does not try to hide the fact of the accidental deaths and they may be found in many books, as well as public records. Deaths from heart attacks or other natural causes would not be a matter of public record. These do happen every year. A death is pronounced when a doctor pronounces it. Disney would have no control over when and where death is pronounced.

Examples of deaths in the park,

One of the Tinkerbells fell to her death when her highwire broke.

A rider stood up on Big Thunder Mountain and hit a overpass.

One of the cleats tying down the Columbia Sailing Ship gave and the cleat hit an employee.

At least 3 people have tried to swim in the Rivers of America and drowned trying to either get to or from the Tom Sawyer Island.

Probably the most famous, One of the rides had a movable stage. The operator got her heel caught by the mechanism and was pulled between the moving stage.

Lastly, Walt Disney had the idea for Disneyland when he wanted to take his daughters out for a Dad's day with them. He found himself watching from a bench while his girls rode the Merry-Go-Round. He found there was no place for the entire family to enjoy together. Most carnivals were rundown and dangerous places. He decided to make a place where the family could go that was fun for all and relatively safe. When he couldn't find backers for his grand plan, he turned to TV, which was still pretty new and was looking for shows to put on. His first television show, Disneyland, paid for much of the park.

During Walt's life, there was always money for the movies. If anything, the movies paid for the park and not the otherway around. It was only after his death that the park became the larger paying property.

If they have such a policy or not - it won't work. It is up to the coroner's office to decide who died where and when. It doesn't matter what any company would or would not like regarding this sort of thing. Every death is examined and every time foul play is suspected it is then investigated. This is all done by the government/police and has nothing to do with any company. If a company was to try to exert some kind of influence it would work against them, making them seem suspicious to the various investigators.

I'm sure that Disney goes to great lengths to, in every sense of the word, eliminate and minimize risks to its customers. That is probably what the policy is really about - to do everything possible to ensure a safe experience.

I don't work for Disney. I don't even live in the USA. I have been to Disneyland twice. Years ago.

I'm going with Stan.

Although Walt is remembered as a great entrepreneur, he said that Disneyland was just a way to finance the thing he loved, making movies. There was a stroke of genius in the problem of how to advertise a park that big: the idea of a weekly TV series that served as free advertising.

After World War 2, before the Baby Boom kids were old enough to go to theaters, the studio nearly went broke. Disney was depressed, and for a long time the only thing that interested him was his model train set. The idea of Disneyland may have originated there. He said that he hated monuments, because they always made visitors feel small. If he were to build an amusement park, he said, things would be scaled down so as to flatter the visitors.

False. It's an urban legend.

It does have some basis in fact, though. Disney maintains first aid personnel onsite and has a Disney emergency vehicle it uses to take people to the hospital etc. Disney has a practice (probably not a stated policy) of doing everything it can to remove seriously injured people using its emergency vehicle rather than letting ambulances into the park, because that would detract from the image of the park.

Oh, please, don't be gullible. Talk about an urban tale, this one is ridiculous.

The Disney Corporation has and has had a lot of money and clout, but they were not beyond the law.
