God's patience only lasts so long.
If a lot about what Disney does is projection and programing then consider the theme song of one of their more recent attractions..."Nothing Can Stop Us Now" it does seem the Mouse has/is being shown otherwise day by day since the attraction opened in Florida. The slide has been fascinating..."refrains from lifting an eyebrow"
A woman was crushed to death by spinning walls and the last sounds she heard drowning out her own screams were animatronics singing patriotic ballads. This is nothing.
I had to look that up, as I wasn't alive yet when it happened.
Death of Deborah Gail Stone Edit See also: List of incidents at Disneyland Resort On July 8, 1974, nine days after the attraction opened, an 18-year-old hostess, named Deborah Gail Stone, was accidentally crushed to death between two walls of the building between 10:35 p.m. and 10:40 p.m. A narrow channel between a stationary wall and a rotating wall was open and Stone either fell, stepped backwards, or tried to jump from one stage to the other as the rotating wall began to move (it moved every 2 to 4 minutes, which was how long each act was). Her death was pronounced at 11:00 p.m., when the carousel was being reset for a new cycle. One of the audience members heard Stone's screams and notified park staff. Others thought it was a part of the show. By the time the audience member and the staff got to her, Stone had already died from her injuries. Stone's parents sued Disneyland for the death of their daughter, which resulted in a small settlement.[4][5]
Following Stone's death, the attraction was abruptly closed down, remaining closed while Disney installed safety lights and had the area where the incident occurred cleaned. Later, the walls in the theater were remodeled so that they would break away in case a similar accident happened. The attraction reopened on July 11, three days after the incident.
