A startling moment at Magic Kingdom Park left fellow riders stunned when a man defied safety rules and jumped from a moving train on the Walt Disney World Railroad. Captured in a popular TikTok video, the dangerous act sparked a wave of criticism online.
A Reckless Move on a Classic Attraction
The Walt Disney World Railroad has been a staple of Magic Kingdom Park since its opening, providing scenic rides around the park with stops at Main Street, U.S.A., Frontierland, and Fantasyland. While the experience is designed for Disney Park guests of all ages, strict safety rules require passengers to remain seated during the ride.
This rule was flagrantly ignored by one guest, whose actions were posted on TikTok by user @theapprovingofficial.
@theapprovingofficial 😳Almost lost one off the train🚂 tonight! 😡😡#waltdisneyworldparks #questtocomplimentdisneycastmembers #visitorlando #veterans #dostuffwhileyoucan #metarayban #wdwtiktok #wdw #disneyworld
“How to give a cast member a heart attack on the train,” the caption read. “…Almost lost one off the train tonight!”
The man was seen standing up as the Walt Disney World Railroad neared the Main Street, U.S.A., station, placing his feet on the edge of the train and swinging around a pole as the steam train continued to move.
Walt Disney World Railroad Cast Members Respond Quickly
Walt Disney World Resort cast members immediately stepped in to stop the dangerous behavior.
“Remain seated, please!” one cast member yelled.
“Remain seated! The train is still moving!” another cast member shouted from the platform, running toward the man to ensure his safety.
Fortunately, the man complied, returning to his seat before anyone was injured. The Walt Disney World Railroad appears to have resumed operations shortly after the incident, but it’s unclear if the guest faced consequences for his actions.
Outrage from Disney Fans
The video quickly gained traction online, with Disney Parks fans condemning the man’s reckless behavior.
“Just why would you do something stupid like this at WDW?” wrote TikTok user @doublc94.
“We need to bring back public shaming,” added @lizzymcgyver.
Some commenters also voiced concern about the impact such incidents have on Disney cast members.
“What sucks is they’ll get safety reprimands even though they can’t prevent that kind of stuff,” said @corifrey.
“I got fired for doing that exact thing… raising my voice after saying remain seated multiple times in a regular tone,” @coldsteppadaniel commented.
While the man’s actions did not result in injuries, they serve as a reminder of the importance of following safety rules at Disney Parks. These measures protect both guests and Disney cast members, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the magic of the Central Florida theme parks safely.
