Unresponsive Guest Pronounced Deceased Following Ride on Classic Disneyland Attraction
A guest at Disneyland Park has died after riding the classic Haunted Mansion attraction, according to confirmation received by Entertainment Weekly. The incident occurred on Monday, and the guest was transported to a local hospital, where she was later pronounced deceased.
The Anaheim Police Department confirmed the details, stating that Anaheim Fire & Rescue responded to the Disneyland Resort after an unresponsive woman in her 60s was found just after exiting the Haunted Mansion attraction. Disneyland security personnel provided CPR until paramedics arrived. The Orange County Sheriff-Coroner will determine the cause of death.

The death comes less than a month after a man died following a ride on the Stardust Racers rollercoaster at Universal Epic Universe in Orlando.
The Haunted Mansion, which first opened in 1969, is one of the park’s most beloved attractions. It currently operates under its temporary seasonal overlay, “Haunted Mansion Holiday,” themed to The Nightmare Before Christmas, which has run annually since 2001.
Notably, the Haunted Mansion is one of the few Disney parks attractions that features an explicit image of human death. The ride’s opening sequence, which utilizes special visual effects, ends with the narrator revealing a dead body hanging above visitors. Former Imagineering creative director Kim Irvine had previously indicated that her team discussed removing the hanging corpse scene during a 2021 refurbishment due to concerns that “such an image could be triggering for some guests,” though the change was deemed structurally complicated.
