Disneyland Power Surges 2 days in a row
From the OC Register
Some rides were shut down at Disneyland today because of a power dip, at roughly 1:30 p.m., for a second day in a row.
Disney spokesman John Nicoletti said the outage affected some attractions.
“As a precaution, about a dozen rides at Disneyland were temporarily out of service to allow our teams time to ensure they were working properly after the momentary power dip,” said Nicoletti in an e-mail.
Nicoletti said more than half of the rides were running within a few minutes, with all of the rides expected to be in operation within 30 minutes of the power dip.
Some rides did take longer to get going.
(AroundDisney had hustled out to the park to see what was going on.)
Shortly before 3 p.m., Space Mountain re-opened. Employees had told guests that they were checking out the ride before re-opening it.
Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters also remained shut down for a while, but other Tomorrowland rides were up, including Autopia and Star Tours.
The Monorail was initially closed, but started again after operators ran it around a few times, an employee told guests.
Disneyland visitor Patrick McCarthy, at about 1:30 p.m., and family went to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and found out that it was down. When they returned about a half hour later, it was open again.
Margie Otto, a spokeswoman for Anaheim Public Utilities, said a circuit went down for less than 10 seconds. Disney is not on that circuit but experienced a dip in voltage.
Disneyland guests first reported on Twitter that a power outage closed down Disneyland rides for the second day in a row. The blackout lasted just a minute. (The Register’s Anaheim office, just down the street from Disneyland, had the power go out.)
Here are what some Twitter users were saying:
@meggggan said, “all rides shut down.”
@araxi said, “DL experienced ‘full blackout’.”
@oc_tony responded to a message: “yes I am here now and monorail
matterhorn buzz were closed. There may have been more. These I am sure of.”
@AshleeDarling says: “Disneyland just had a full on power outage Hahahah.”
In Monday’s outage, Otto said: “One of our auto-transfer switches failed, causing a momentary dip in voltage. Disneyland was not on that circuit, but they experienced a momentary dip in voltage.”
Nicoletti said all the rides were back up within 30 minutes on Monday.
