Incident Details

The guest recounted the experience, sharing that “We were just evacuated from the Monsters Inc. ride with show building lights on because a kid was completely out of the ride vehicle.” In response, Disneyland cast members acted quickly to evacuate the riders while the ride’s system was reset. Overheard conversations between the cast members suggested that the child’s exit from the vehicle may have been intentional, with a parent possibly lifting the child out and placing them on the back of the vehicle.

Though the exact details of how the incident unfolded remain unclear, the quick shutdown and evacuation highlight Disney’s commitment to safety. The attraction remained closed while the system was reset, preventing any further operation until everything was deemed secure for guests.

Rumors About the Ride’s Future

Adding to the intrigue surrounding this closure, the guest also shared an interesting remark overheard from a cast member. According to the cast member, “It’s an old ride that won’t be here much longer, so it takes a while to restart.” This comment ties into the fact that the official closure is planned for early 2026, with Disney focusing on new projects and attractions in the future.

The ride has long been a favorite for families, offering an immersive and family-friendly adventure through the world of Monsters Inc. Guests board vehicles for a thrilling journey with Mike and Sulley as they try to save Boo. However, with new developments at the park and the ongoing evolution of Disney California Adventure, the fate of the attraction is closure.
