A video of a Disneyland guest seemingly sticking their head into the water while on the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction has gone viral on TikTok.
Jeremy Sonkin, who visited the park on Labor Day, was there to capture the moment when the unidentified guest stuck their head and arm into the water twice.
“The ride was experiencing a short delay/downtime, and I was live streaming at the time, looking down the lift hill that brings you back to the station,” Sonkin told KTLA in an emailed statement.
“I saw the arm go first, followed by the rest of the person shortly after. I did not see anything drop or how the cast members handled the situation after the ride.”
The TikTok video has nearly 250,000 views as of Thursday afternoon.
KTLA reached out to the Disneyland Resort but didn’t receive a comment in time for publication.
While most visitors to the “Happiest Place on Earth” come and go with only great memories, videos showcasing disruptive behavior at the theme park resort continue to be showcased on social media.
In 2022, Disneyland and Disney World added “Courtesy” sections to their websites, seemingly in response to the fights that occurred at both theme park resorts.
“We ask all who come to this happy place to treat others with respect, kindness and compassion,” the section reads. “To help Guests have a safe and enjoyable experience, we regularly update our Disneyland Resort rules. Those who cannot live up to this simple wish or follow our rules may be asked to leave the Disneyland Resort.”
Other California theme parks have also implemented rules to curb this type of behavior.
Knott’s Berry Farm reimplemented its chaperone policy in 2023, which was initially created in 2022 in response to fights that summer.
More recently, Six Flags Magic Mountain announced plans to implement a chaperone policy beginning Sept. 7 for its upcoming Halloween event, Fright Fest Extreme.
