Disneyland Paris Ride Shut Down

Five guests sustained injuries this past Monday at Disneyland Paris while riding that park's "Thunder Mountain" train ride.

A piece of fiberglass and wood scenery broke off and fell into one of the ride's carriages, resulting in "light" injuries for four guests and serious injuries for another guest. At the time of the accident, twenty-five guests were on board.

The ride remained closed for the rest of that day while the park itself stayed open. The park's operator, Euro Disney, could not be reached for comment.
