EPCOT Security Steps in Fast After Altercation at Cosmic Rewind
Cosmic Rewind garners long wait times, which leads to Guests being frustrated while waiting in long standby queues. However, we did not expect to see this happen at Disney.
Disney Guests Behaving Badly
Over the last few years, we have seen our fair share of poorly behaved Guests. Whether that be someone dressing up as Mickey Mouse, brawls breaking out, or a man assaulting Mirabel for a photo and an autograph, we feel like we have seen it all.
Disney even went so far as to post a courtesy reminder on the website.
Be the magic you want to see in the world. You must always remember to treat others with respect, kindness and compassion. Those who can't live up to this simple wish may be asked to leave Walt Disney World Resort.
Cosmic Rewind Changes
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is one of Walt Disney World's most popular attractions.
Guests must pass through 3 different preshows, reshuffling and turning back into a line. Some guests get a bit overzealous and rush, and perhaps even run and push to get from place to place. It can make for a bit of an unpleasant experience.
Due to negative Guest experiences, Disney has made several operational changes to help keep Guests safe while moving quickly throughout this attraction queue. However, the most recent Guest altercation happened even before the first preshow room.
Cosmic Rewind Altercation
In the video shared by MeluskiO on TikTok, two adult males became agitated with one another while in line for Cosmic Rewind. While it is unclear what led to this altercation, the TikTok user implies that this had been an ongoing issue while the Guests waited in the 2 hour standby queue for Cosmic Rewind.
Walt Disney World security intervened when an incident took place in the queue for Cosmic Rewind.
Thankfully, Walt Disney World security intervened before the altercation escalated further. Security sent one man toward the exit, while the other removed his shirt while still in line.
It is uncertain what led to this disturbance and what happened to both individuals. We are thankful that no Guests were injured during this incident.
Have you witnessed a similar incident while at the Disney Parks? What do you think Disney should do to help prevent this type of behavior? Share your thoughts with us and share this news with your Disney pals.
Irritated guests waiting for two hours in line, for a two minute ride. If they had just spent an additional fourty dollars each, Disney security would not have had to show up after the fact, to eject the combatants.
Never really saw this behavior when Fastpass was the line skipping method.
The two hundred dollar a day free loaders are the ones causing the problems. Unless you have lighting lanes purchased you should not even be allowed into a cue.
Disney should Warn Guests that they may have to defend themselves until security shows up to write reports and provide care for the injured, after guests break up altercations inflamed by the for profit line skipping shakedown.
No one wants a vacation experience that turns out to be another rush hour on the #4 train headed uptown in sweltering heat.
Disney created the problem and now bellyache about the unruly customers they pitted against each other.
No suprise people act badly when they realise they paid big bucks to just walk into a park, for further financial shakedowns on top of the expense of getting through the gate.
Fastpass made all equal, Lightening lane created class warfare.
Thanks for making a Disney vacation into the rat race customers once paid to getaway from. Turning it into the antithesis of exactly the opposite of what it was meant to be !
