(Bloomberg) -- A power failure at Disneyland temporarily stopped rides such as the Monorail and forced tourists to crowd together in the sections of the park that remained open, during one of the busiest times of year.
Workers at the theme park in Anaheim, California, escorted visitors off of rides, said Suzi Brown, a spokeswoman for Walt Disney Co. Disneyland remains open for guests who were already at the park, though new arrivals aren’t being admitted.
With areas near Toontown and Fantasyland affected by the outage, Disney encouraged guests via Twitter to head to Tomorrowland and Adventureland. Several tourists complained on social media about crowds and said they’d been refused refunds.
The power failure had no effect on areas outside the Disney property, Brown said.
