It seems that lousy Guest behavior has been a repeating issue at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort. Both of these Parks have been suffering from a larger-than-normal influx of Guest issues. These issues range from some “Karen” attacks to shocking and disturbing criminal behavior. 

Unfortunately, these disturbances and pushing fans further away from the Parks. Some fans don’t feel that the Parks are fun and wholesome anymore.

As a cherry on top of the neverending recent list of issues, Guests are now reporting that there was an arrest made at Disneyland Resort today. The arrest reportedly took place on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, a thrilling roller coaster located in the Frontierland of Disneyland Park.

As of now, there is limited information about what the arrest was for. One Guest reached out on Twitter to investigate if anyone knew more about the situation on the arrest at Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, saying;

“Any one know the details of why someone was apparently arrested after being escorted off BTMR?”

This arrest, as well as several other recent issues at Disney’s theme parks, has exposed a terrifying trend within the Parks. Disney is meant to be a safe and wholesome place for all ages, and hearing about these incidents all the time paints the Parks in a negative light.

Disney Star Dead at 29 After Suffering Devastating Fall

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney+

A popular Disney star has died at the young age of 29 after suffering a devastating fall.

Actress Park Soo Ryun died over the weekend when she succumbed to injuries she sustained from a devastating fall down a flight of stairs. She was only 29 years old at the time of her death.

Ryun was a South Korean actress who rose to stardom after she made her acting debut in 2018 in the musical Il Tenore. She then made the move to television in 2021, appearing in the Snowdrop series on Disney+ alongside Blackpink singer Jisoo. The series follows the story of a young woman at a university in Seoul, Korea, who chooses to go against her better judgment and “risk being expelled to hide a man [who showed up at her dormitory with major wounds from an attack] from his attackers and tend to his wounds. Unbeknownst to her, the man has a harrowing secret that threatens to put her friends’ and family’s safety at risk, and the two young lovers will have to work together to overcome the obstacles.”

The actress reportedly slipped and fell down a flight of stairs on Sunday, June 11, at a property located on Jeju Island, South Korea’s largest island. She was scheduled to perform on the island, according to The Mirror. Ryun was rushed to the hospital in hopes that she could receive life-saving emergency treatment. According to Ryun’s mother, the actress was unconscious, but she still had a pulse immediately following the fall. Sadly, however, she was pronounced dead after paramedics’ efforts to save her life were unsuccessful.

Following the news of her death, her family made the loving but painful decision to donate her organs.

“There must be someone who desperately needs organs,” Ryun’s mother said. “As her mother and father, we will be able to live comforted by the thought that her heart has gone to someone and is beating.” The family further requested privacy and respect as they process their loss.

“We sincerely ask [you] to refrain from sharing rumors or speculative reports, so the shocked and saddened family can reverently commemorate the late actor,” a representative said.

Ryun is the second actress from the Snowdrop series to die. In January 2022, Kim Mi-Soo, another actress in the series, also passed away at the age of 29.
