Vandalism in Disneyland

[protostars]

BAD NEWS :eek:

Some Idiots vandalized the 2nd ramp down inside the
queue of Space Mountain Yesterday
(late last night, it was fresh, as the plastic wall coating material was all over the floor still).

vandalization picture...

click here for image (http://members.dslextreme.com/users/protostarsdlp/img/SM-VAND8-5-05.jpg)

it's bad enough to go on POTC and see spitwads everywhere and gum
stuck up on the brick archways, but this really sucks.

Some people have no respect for anything....
If I ever saw somebody doing any of this to any attraction, I would personal
drag them out of the park and kick their 'A--'!!!! :mad:

makes you wish they had even more security cameras up.
(it's a shame they need any!)

This was original posted as a follow up to 111702's thread "Space Mountain Review"
But as I thought more about it, I felt this needed a little more attention of the VF Members.

[barfownz]

omg this is horrible, vandizing out "home" i am going to email disney about this!

[Brer Rabbit]

Some people can be seriously messed up.:mad: As for the amount of trash I find in Disneyland, there are such thing as trash cans.

[Disneyland_Wolf]

That's a really big vandlized wall, WTH is wrong with these people, I want to kick out all of the rudes guests and litterheads to the gates and never come back. They must be dirty people, they damaged Disneyland Property, that wall is was fresh and new, and they F*** ruining it. No one cares about the damage on the wall of the new refurbished ride? When you break something, you must PAY it. I hate when people litter in theme parks and nature. Human flith....

Remember, what Walt said about the park that it will be clean, shiny, nice, litter-free, all lights on, and vandalism free.

[Piglet]

This really makes me sick. Some people are SUCH losers!! Why on earth anybody would vandalize anything, much less a ride people had to wait 2 1/2 years to ride again, is beyond me. Unfortunately, I don't have an answer to the question, "How do we prevent this from happening again?"

[PeoplemoverMatt]

Hopefully the culprits can be caught & prosecuted. I just don't get why people do this, but then again I don't get why people do a lot of things.

ok well i was in a log with some older teen (looked about 18 or 19) in splash mountain and this kid spit in the water and he threw his gum and one of the animatronics (spell check) and i said what the "****" did you do that for, do not do it ever again! sry for the language but i really said it. and he like chocked up and turned back around. it was funny. but he learned his leason

gross!!:eek: Do you remember which animatronic it was. I hope it wasn't my favorite.:mad:

[barfownz]

the bear where he is on a rope and the fox is holding him up from pulling a rope

[111702]

That is MY favorite animatronic on Splash Mountain! No fair!:mad:

It is also sad that people in this world are STUPID enough to ruin a BRAND SPANKIN' NEW WALL ON A BRAND SPANKIN' NEW RIDE!:icon_excl

I went on the Haunted Mansion (10 times) on my last visit about a week ago, and noticed that the Stretching Galley's wallpaper was all torn up and vandalized! What made me even MORE mad was that the guests I were riding with (a couple of times this happened) were complete JERKS! They screamed, "Marco! POLO!" through the ENTIRE attraction, ruining the experience, screamed REALLY loud and laughed REALLY REALLY loud to annoy people, AND they took FREAKIN' FLASH PICTURES! NOBODY DOES THAT ON MY FAVORITE RIDE! Didn't they even LISTEN to the Ghost Host!? ("No flash pictures, please.")

JEEZ!!:mad:

[Zip~a~dee~doo~dah]

When I was in the queue for Pirates, where it goes along the border between NOS and Adventureland, I noticed on the trees lining the queue that people had scratched their initials in, or failing that, just scratched the heck out of the wood. A pity.

[bow_wow234]

they better watch there A-- cause im going there soon and if i see them or people vandelizing stuff i will call the police and there heading Downtown

Believe me... Nothing's worse than an angry 6'4" guy who is going after a person because he desecrated a wonderful ride. I'm scary, too. :icon_twis

It makes me happy... :biggrin:

Why couldn't we write a letter to the suits at Disneyland and tell them what people posted on here (the vandalization) plus all the harrassing things that have happened to people while at Disneyland and ask them to do something about it? Is it possible that they're not aware of it and they need to be notified so they can do something to stop it? I mean, in a business sense Disneyland is one huge commodity and if people destroy it, they will lose money. Anybody think this would do any good or this is just me being hopeful that the wrongs can be righted??

Sounds like a plan to me! It's too bad that people feel the need to go and ruin something that does not belong to them. What is wrong with people. It seems like there is less and less respect in this world. This is sad. I remember someone saying that BLAB had been vandalized right after it had opened too! Sad, sad,sad.:mad: :mad:

[PeoplemoverMatt]

We ourselves can't really do anything to bring whoever did this to justice if park security didn't catch them in the act. What we can do is use this as motivation to discourage others from doing the same or similar childish acts to anything not just things of Disneyland which we value. I would encourage everyone out there enraged by this act to put that energy towards discouraging anyone who would do that in the future from doing the same or similar acts.

Oh my stars! When I saw the photo, I cried for hours. What I dont get is this, What about the people who were in line either behind or in front of these jerks. It is everyones duty to turn in punks like this. They couldnt have had someone walk out of line and have a cast member call for security? Thats what I would have done. Why waste precious oxygen talking to losers like this. Vandalism ruins the experience for everyone. Just you wait. Someday I'll be head of Disney security and stuff like this wont happen.

[bg byrd]

When I went to Disneyland in June like 5 kids were beatting Push, it got so bad that he was almost yelling at the parents who were just watching to make their kids stop beating on him.

Very well said matt,

I wish that I was further up in line to witness the act,
not just the aftermath. :frown:

and to happen in my own thread! Bonus!!!

Yes That's definitely off topic, but I just became a senior member a few weeks ago. It feels good. Oh yeah, and I didn't really see any vandalism while I was recently at Disneyland. Sorry to disappoint you guys.

I totally agree. There had to be other people around that watched this happen. Were they too scared to do anything or just didn't care? These were obviously some very immature children, even if they were older, who more than likely walk around beating up phone booths and pulling up flowers too. Cowards period. Someone could have, and should have, gone to find a CM right away or followed them until they could get a CM's or security's attention. The last trip to DL there were 2 kids in front of us in the line for Big Thunder shooting spitwads of paper through straws at people in line ahead of them. I looked at my brother and he looked at me and we each grabbed the straws out of their mouths as they went to shoot again. They turned in shock and I asked them if there was a problem. No answer lol. They continued in line like everyone else; normally. Little jerks. lol.

Kinda like the other day here in my neighborhood. A few punks pulled over in a vacant lot and were going to dump some large appliance outta their vehicle. I just stopped in the middle of the street and watched them. They saw me watching, so drove off without dumping. Maybe when we see people doing 'stuff' at DL, just stand there and watch them. Probably don't have to say much, just be sure they see you watching. Just be careful !! Some people stupid enough to do stuff like that , will do anything.

[jbuck]

I think someone should trash there walls see how they like it.

[HMFan26]

Well..for what i was told they when these low lifes get caught doing something in the happyest place on earth (disneyland)they only get banned for a whole year...thats like a slap in the wrist but i dont know if they made more tuffer rules..but they realy can ruin someones day..and for what they did to space mountain was horrid..and i hope they got cought and punished

[Eye Of Mara]

I'm a cast member and if some one gets caught for destroying Disney property. They have to pay for the damage.

A wise person once said that if you stand by and watch (vandalism, abuse, etc) and do nothing, it's the same as if you were doing it too.

But HOW do they ban them for the year? Are their faces on wanted posters plasted all over Disneyland so CM's can watch for them? I think this would be pretty tough to enforce.

[brunetteTinkerbell1955]

they need to ban them FOR-E-VER! (like the sandlot)

then i hold up my fist then say

"ill get u my ugly, and your little DL-hurting friends too hahahah"

(like the wizard of oz, but i messed with the words a little)

[Wendy Darling]

yea, it would be too hard to find everyone doing bad things, because no matter how hard it is to relize this...tons of people are a** holes, and they will do this no matter where they go. The best that we can do is try to catch as many as we can and make them pay. I do like that whole ban them FOR-E-VER thing tho!

[Liserbell]

As far as banning goes, if works the same there as here, they are leagally 'trespassed' from the property. That way, if secuity sees and recognizes them, and most security is good at that, they can be immediatley asked to leave. If they refuse, the person can be arrested for trespassing on private property. If they do it enough, it is considered a misdemeanor and they can face up to a year in jail.

There are people who are 'trespassed' permently. For most inteligent people the threat is enough.

Problem is most of the people who do this sort of things are young punks who think it's cool or fun. They will either grow out of it, or they won't in which case they do worse and worse things. If we don't tolerate it, say something or do something when we see them, they might grow out of it faster.

When Sleeping Beautys walk through was still open, I remember a CM telling me how often they had to replace the glass because some punk carved their name or words into it. :mad:

I'm glad to see, however, so many of you who have stood up to these people and tried to stop them. Gives me hope, you know.:smile:

[leokensakuchan]

people who vandilize disney properties are very very imature. they lack of appriciation of the park and probably a broken family who doesn't appriciate anything. i saw the picture and it discusted me. disneyland really needs to do something.

[protostars]

I'm thinking of going back to DL tonight
(if not tonight definatly tomorrow, need that space mt. fix)
I'll see if they have done any repairs or if the damage is worse

Thank you for the lovely comments :icon_roll

Actually, I'm a 6'4", 170-175 lb. muscular guy, complete with all-black clothing, red hair (ooh, scary! :p), sunglasses, studs, and spikes. That's just my "freakin' awesome" look, though.

I'm a guy that, when angry, they would not want to meet.

Good times. ;)

[hawkster9542]

The banning needs to work the same way as that Twilight Zone episode. If anyone thought any negative thoughts around the kid, the kid would "banish" them to a field.

Only catch is... they died in the process...

That was a cool episode, too!

[DaynaTheDisneyDork]

I saw the wall!!!!!!! You should have seen my reaction. Right when I turned the corner, I gasped and almost tripped down the corridor. My friend had to push me to get me away from the poor thing.

That's so stupid for someone to do something like that. And has anyone seen the Nemo wall?!?! It's REALLY ripped up!!!

I helped a little I guess. I saw a couple of 12 or 13 year old kids try to rip it up more and I said "Nemo will find you" with a very serious face and they kinda looked at me and stopped.

[~PrincessAriel~]

What is up with these rude people?! If you can't respect Disneyland you shouldn't be paying 50-some-odd bucks to visit the park and vandalize it!

[barfownz]

i want to volenteer and help disneyland, i love that park so much that if i work there it is going to be volenteer working

[~PrincessAriel~]

i want to volenteer and help disneyland, i love that park so much that if i work there it is going to be volenteer working

I'm totally with you on that! If I didn't have to work, I'd VOLUNTEER at DL just to have something to do.

[Space Mountain Mike]

That's a really big vandlized wall, WTH is wrong with these people, I want to kick out all of the rudes guests and litterheads to the gates and never come back. They must be dirty people, they damaged Disneyland Property, that wall is was fresh and new, and they F*** ruining it. No one cares about the damage on the wall of the new refurbished ride? When you break something, you must PAY it. I hate when people litter in theme parks and nature. Human flith....

Mission Bay Park every weekend, particularly 3 day weekends, look like a landfill afterwards, it burns me up to see it, and this isn't even an amusement park. Are people THAT lazy that they can't find a garbage can??

If I saw someone vandalize the park I would either follow them until I see a security guard or if someone in my group has a digital camera (mine uses film) I would take his picture then show it to security.

R U SERIOUS!:eek:

WOW! Thanks for helping out! (i wish i could catch someone...) It is so RUDE to just rip at a wall like a brainless monkey!:icon_conf Especially if the wall is so PRETTY!:tongue:

[celtic1]

I have already had to put people in there place at the park. I caught some kid 18 or 19 trying to destroy a display in one othe stores in NOS. Stupid a--, after I yelled at him I told security to keep a sharp eye.:cool:

[sorcerormickey]

Man, I think that vandalizing Disneyland is just so inconsiderate to all of us Disney Fanatics that enjoy the park. if I saw one of those little devils. I would be after them in a split second. I wonder what they would think when they got caught "Well Nobody told me that I couldn't do that" such immature people. It would be really comical if a lot of people saw a vandal in the act and all you see is a flock of Disneyland Fanatics (like us on VF) chasing down on or two kids. That would be the day.

P.S. Don't vandalize Disneyland property that.You will get caught and it wouldn't be all fun and games when you get caught.

[barfownz]

[Legend_S]

This is just really sad, why would anyone do this, were there walls all torn down? lol Like I say "Wow god must love stupid ppl, because he sure made alot of them." lol Those are just little punks that have no respect for themselves and others, I never catch anyone doing stuff like that at disneyland, I just see the horrible after math of it, but if I do catch one, i'll personally drag him to a CM myself.

[Executioner]

I can't stand seeing the vandalism in places like DL. They try so hard to make things look good and you feel good. That is the kinda thing that makes prices go up or at least helps them go up. My mom was very strict about having respect for places we went to. She also carried a wooden spoon in her purse for those moments of disrespect or just being out of hand, and believe me, she was not afraid to use it. Those things can hurt. Tagging is another stupid and useless form of showing how much of an idiot you are. Great, you marked your made up territory that you don't even own and will never own. So i guess we can call them dogs. At least when a dog marks it's territory, it gets recycled back into the earth and helps out. Vandalism does not help out.

I LOVE the way you phrased that! :icon_lol: If it was ever at all plausible, all of us should get together and form a "VF Security" team or something like that, with each person at a certain area. At least then it would be legal to use force to stop these idiots. I'm never in Disneyland enough, though, but I did run a military-style force of about 300 people a few years back.

Really? Why?

It must be hard to patrol Disney in the summer, considering how many people go there. I think, all things considered, they do a pretty good job. The rest of us just need to help out when we can, try and stop it if we see it happening.

But, I think the key is parental control, or lack of it.

[hawkster9542]

Actually, I don't really patrol Disneyland. I was just saying that I don't go to the park enough TO patrol it, though it would be neat if I did...

The security guys do as good of a job as they can with the resources that they have. I really give it up to those guys, as they can keep the park great without being everywhere at once.

Also, You are right. Parental control is definitely a key, but only if the idiots have their parents with them, unfortunately. And about the army thing... it was more of a protection service, though it kind of worked like a military. It was great while it lasted, though!

[ClassicDisney]

Vandalism has to do with the target audience of certain rides... things like splash mountain and space mountain... the "BIG" kid rides attract idiot teenagers. IN ALL HONESTY, we know a five year old didn't do that. It is reallly freaking stupid that people are doing that, so please if you see someone, don't just talk about how stupid they are, tell a cast member, or tell them to cut it out and stop ruining the magic.

[hawkster9542]

Sadly, I've never been there to do anything when something was happening. I've never witnessed it firsthand; I've only seen the aftermath, like countless other people.

[mad about the mouse]

The other thing I really hate people doing, besides vandalism and littering, is ruining a ride experience. On 7/17 there were these teenage boys in front of us on Pirates. They started rocking the boat where there were no cameras (i.e. my assumption is that they are "regulars") and splashing water back on us. We finally told them that was enough and there were other people enjoying the attraction. That shut them down, especially an adult telling them. They may have called me every name in the book after that (like I care...) but they sure as heck stopped. I've also seen this happen with rocking on Small World too and teenage boys laughing at how "dumb" the ride was. Well, then...get off! Better yet...don't get on! Ugh. Parental control (or lack of) is exactly the problem. My kids would NEVER do something to destroy another's property or experience because they know the fury of mom :mad: (it would be mainly disappointment) and consequences that would follow :icon_shoc

[Liserbell]

I know what you mean. Growing up, I knew that if I pulled anything like that I would never see daylight again. I have nothing against 'Time Outs' I use them myself. But I see so many people at grocery stores and malls just let their kids run wild and they say "What can I do?"
Punks who enjoy destroying things, 12 year olds who think it's cool, where are their families to stop them?

[hawkster9542]

They're alone because their parents "trust them."

Yeah, really great idea there to trust a 12-year-old vandal. The police LOVE handling kids like that!

[vwbug1998]

Just curious, how long did it take them to fix the wall in space mountain- if its fixed yet?

[protostars]

I'm Not sure if it is fixed yet.
I was going to go last night and recheck it. but didn't get myself motivated enough.
(long day at work)

I will try to go either thursday or friday night this week and will update with a new photo then.
(if anybody else goes B4 Please update us.)

[Haunted Mansion Volunteer]

When I went to Disneyland in June like 5 kids were beatting Push, it got so bad that he was almost yelling at the parents who were just watching to make their kids stop beating on him.

OMG, not Push!!! Push is awesome and does not (Repeat) does not deserve that kinda punishment. It was bad enough that lady ran away from him when she threw her trash in him but to mess with Push is wrong!!! There got that out of my system.

[mr.squirrel]

PUSH!? What, why would someone do that? I know the guy who does the "push" puppeteering, and he never said anything about that (so it probably happens alot). :eek:

[Disneyland_Wolf]

Ignorant stupid human kids.......they should learn some respect. I will bet a werewolf will stop the kids from beating up poor Push.

[Liserbell]

Ignorant stupid human kids.......they should learn some respect. I will bet a werewolf will stop the kids from beating up poor Push.

Umm. . . what?

[micksmom]

I will always say something. If people are talking or taking flash pictures in a ride like POTC where I have direct contact, I will calmly ask them to be a little quieter or inform them that flash photography is forbidden. Sometimes I have to wait until a ride is over to let them know that due to their disrepectful behavior, they ruined the experience for others. It's more difficult if you don't know who it is like the Marco Polo incident in the HM.

Any act of vandalism must be reported to a cast member. I've trailed someone while my husband finds one, keeping in touch by cell phone. Once the CM was there & we explained the situation, we left them to handle it offering our information if they need a witness.

Bottom line is we have no authority. Getting in someone's face, especially if they are rude enough to vandalize or steal, can turn ugly. Use a calm tone, the "I'm very dissapointed in you" one that every parent has used and every child has heard along with direct eye contact. People who have no respect for themselves or a treasure like Disneyland are cowards & looking them in the eye with a calm tone works for me more often than not.

[DaynaTheDisneyDork]

I had to get a kid off of Push once. I know the guy that does Push and he just kind of gave me a 'get the kid off' look. So he made Push move over to me and hide behind me and go. "Dayna be my body guard!" And I was like, hugging him as he went back to the little green alien's shop.

ok what is "PUSH"?

[DaynaTheDisneyDork]

Push...heh...Push is a talking trash can normally found in Tommorrowland. He rolls around and talks to people. That's the simple version.

He also sings, dances, spins in circles, and freaks people out!

I was at DL July 17th from 5am till 12:30am. It was the first time I saw PUSH. I found it to be sooo cool. Seeing so many kids tripping out trying to figure out how it works is so fun. But if I had seen any of them kicking or hitting it I would have stopped it. I might be 4' 11'' but as the HULK would say "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."

he came out during VF's meetup and then went back in as well. We got to have some fun with him, especially when some old lady came up smiling to put some trash in and play with the push can and then got scared when it started going after her.

And then it was going backstage through the gates and one of the workers back there thought it was a real can and tried to get it and it moved and even shocked him ;)

[111702]

This is REALLY off topic, but I just wanted to say it anyway...

When I went to DL a couple weeks ago, I saw a little girl talking to a trash can, and I was like, WHAT!?:eek: Then, I saw it move and talk!:icon_lol: When I passed by them, the little girl said "I'll see you tomorrow Trashy!" HOW CUTE!:tongue:

[joeknex]

I saw people carving there intials in the in while they where in line for BTMR

What!!!! stupid punks, why did they do that?

Space Mountain Update! RU42 just went on Space Mountain and did not notice any damage so it must be all fixed up again. Woo Hoo!

Yay!! Let's hope those same vandalisers don't come back and break the same wall again.

[Spetsnaz]

I am a teenager and I can say with all my heart that I hate teenagers. I really do. They need to mature. I was on Splash Mountain and this kid kepts getting up and down behind me making them stop the ride multiple times. Luckly he got banned from the ride for the rest of the day.

[PeoplemoverMatt]

Yep, I didn't notice any vandalised wall when I was there yesterday. I got on the ride & I asked the guys, "Did you notice a vandalized wall?" because I totally missed it. Not only is it fixed, it looks like nothing ever happened. :smile:

that is great that they fixed it = )

[sorcerormickey]

Yah it is great that they fixed it becuase it shows that they care about what the park looks like. But I never thought that they didn't :p

why will you be back in 2030?

[BigMikeSD]

I work at a facility which handles thousands of guests daily. We used to have a problem with vandalism. What we found is that if it doesnt get cleaned up right away, more of it will surface, as the vandals see that they are making a lasting mark. The key to stoping vandalism is to clean it up right away. At my place of work, the second we spot damaged property, it becomes our number one priority to fix it. Most of the time it is repaired within an hour or two. From the vandals point of view, its very discouraging to them. Since we have started to be so vigilent about this, vandalism has droped to only about a quater of what it was.

Some Idiots vandalized the 2nd ramp down inside the
queue of Space Mountain Yesterday
(late last night, it was fresh, as the plastic wall coating material was all over the floor still).

vandalization picture...

click here for image (http://members.dslextreme.com/users/protostarsdlp/img/SM-VAND8-5-05.jpg)



Well, I finally got back to SM, and yes it is fixed:

Fixed wall (http://members.dslextreme.com/users/protostarsdlp/img/SM-FIXED.jpg)

however they covered the wall in the silver/grey color now, not the prior maroon that it was in it's pre-vandalised state.
(the silver lookeds to be painted on were as the maroon was sometype of vynal covering)
hopefully this will stay untouched for all to enjoy now... ;)

I hear that. Anyone who purposely yells and screams during a ride must be really ignorant and immature.

[carlosbrown45]

really though.thats really idiotic

[WendyDarling1955]

I cant believe that some punk would ruin a bad new ride... I agree that people that cant respect the park should be kicked out on the curb and never to return. I mean really, do you think they will ever learn their lesson if they keep getting away with it? Anyways, Along time ago I witnessed vandalism at Disneyland too.. You know the Hungry Bear Resteraunt, across from the line of Splash Mountain, right next to what is now The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh? Well you know that wood carved bear that stands in front of the entrance to the resteraunt? Well this punk kid that was surrounded by his friends, climbed up on the wood, and was pulling the bears arms, screaming "GIVE ME A HUG BEAAAAR!! GIVE ME A HUGGG!!!!!" just being really stupid, and he broke the bears arms OFF!! I couldnt believe it I wanted to Cry soooo bad! :confused:

[TopCat8]

What!!! He broke the bear? I would have been so mad. Is it fixed again? I didn't notice on my recent trip.

stupid kids u should have kicked there a**s.

[WendyDarling1955]

Yeah everytime I go I check out the bear, and It looks like he was repaired, but you can still see where he broke off. I was soo mad and upset I didnt know what to do! I was like 12 when it happened, it was a long time ago. These kids were like 16-17 years old. I was heart broken. That was my favorite place to eat in the park, and I always remembered the bear and here we are on our way for lunch and I saw some kid break his arms off! It was soo sad!

i am serious we should tell disney about this! show them pictures and everything (maybe photoshop a few lol jk)

[damxcnsxcn]

thats horrible! i just would have gone up to them and told them off. i mean your 12, and what can they do to you? i 16 year old beating up a 12 year old? common, they would be kicked out from the park so fast! as well as probably facing some legal actions for defacing disney property and physical, verbal harrasment by beating up an innocent 12 year old

[DisneyResurrection]

Just so we are all on the same page I think she is saying this happened A LONG TIME AGO. She was twelve when it happened and according to her biography on the Entry Thread she is now married. (Just happened to read it a minute ago lol) :p

[Disney Man]

Im a teenager and i hate that just cause i am a teenager dosent mean i vandalise DL. those punks give bad reputation to us and now nobody trust me anymore. i was alone last time at disneyland and i saw this family just staring at me probably waiting to see what i was going to do. i love disneyland and i would never vandalise DL. all teenagers have a bad reputation cause most of them do those thing.

[sorcerormickey]

I believe at least some of all teenagers are not vandal.... I don't believe that you are vandal Disney Man. But those handfull of teens that are vandals give the teenage grouping a bad sterotype and then everybody assumes that all teenagers are like that sterotipical bad boy.

[hawkster9542]

Exactly. It's the same thing for every group. No one group is completely good, and no one group is completely bad, either. Each group has its losers. I HATE some of the metal heads at school, but I'm friends with the rest.

A few people can bring an unbearable stereotype upon the group.

Yea Thats true But i hate That tho it sucks
(i love VF i though it was going to boring but it so cool i mean were else can you talk about all thing disney im new to this so if i make mistakes can yall tell help me so i can fix it thanx)

[Stephen]

Push is the most AWESOME trash can eva! HE NEVA DIE!

[gotsomegetsome]

stealing is also a huge issue

this weekend i was at disneyland
and i just bought an indiana jones map
then someone went into my backpack as i was watching fantasmic and took that and a few other things

the nerve of some people..

[linklewtt]

^^omg, that's horrible! to think you are trying to enjoy a show and they steal from you. how horrible.

[gotsomegetsome]

ANNDDDD

i was on HMH with my cousin and all of a sudden they stopped the ride and turned on the lights
then a CM came into the ride and took three kids from the doombuggie behind us
later on we took a look at the doombuggie and there were scratches all over the inside

i hate punks who think they can do whatever they want
especially to the place i love more than home
i hope they get whats coming to them.

[Ezra]

there were scratches all over the inside
i hope they get whats coming to them.How would you like it if somebody came along
and scraped the insides out of you!

[kodiak]

I am surprised that what little vandalism that happens in the park ever takes place at all. security is world class at dl.I have walked through metal detectors and been felt up by uniformed guards at six flags and other places. I know dl has security, but I have never noticed them. I have never seen uniformed security. I have seen someone get taken down by them. it was fast. they came in, took the guy into a building, and we didnt see them again. it was super fast and efficient. I am surprised that the space mountain vandals didnt get tagged in the act or directly after.

[rememberthemagic]

WOW..reading all these posts is just sad.Disneyland is one of my most loved places on this earth.I can't imagine seeing anyone doing something like all this.I personally haven't seen anything (and i go once a year for a week each trip).I've seen people litter just a few feet away from a garbage can.WOW.Talk about stupid and lazy.Anyways,If I ever do see anyone vandalize anything there, i'm gonna go get a CM right away.Afraid if I say something they'd run away.I'd love to see them get caught, that would make my day .

[barfownz]

Most tourists don't give a darn about "our" park.

[PeoplemoverMatt]

^ Most people don't give a darn period.

-- PMM :cool:

[debijeanm]

People who vandalize any place, but especially special places like Disneyland, remind me of the idiots who write stupid things in other people's yearbooks. They think they're being clever, when all they're doing is leaving their Mark of the Moron.

[Disneyland_Wolf]

It's easy, they are human.

[dctrdez]

Time to Mobilize a VF Anti-Vandalism Task Force.

We have a paintscratcher in sector 12! Splash Mountain queue!

Move out, move out!

*"Swat" theme music plays, VF Members running in slow motion*

You are going to lose this war. We are VF. *Hang up phone*

[dreamscometrue555]

as quoted by hobbes(the tiger!)
there are times when its a source of personal pride to not be human

its too bad people vandalize ....

[DisneyResurrection]

Most tourists don't give a darn about "our" park.
I care.

[ryguy222]

^^what he said i guess im considered a "tourist" since i live in AZ and i care too. Thats why they need to put more cameras in. There are such things as small cameras that can't be easily seen

[Mikokat]

Jerks. That's just wrong! They should be fined. Space Mountain is one of my favorite rides. I hate to see it vandalized:frown:.

[Peglegin98]

People just drive me crazy. I thought the fun of Disneyland was going on the rides. I'm surprised that other people in line didn't tell the vandalizers to stop. Unless it was a gang, but I really haven't seen any gangs in the park before. I just wish that people would quit being evil for no good reason. Don't we learn from Disney movies that the evil people never make it out in the end!

You know what I hate... When you see peopl stick their gum somewhere. I see people do it all the time on POTC, they do it on one of the low bridges.

[Ratty12345]

"Tourists.....why'd it have to be tourists....?" ;)

[k_peek_2000]

This is what you do when you see people vandalize the happiest place on earth. You pull out a 12 gauge shot gun. Then make disneyland the least happiest place on earth momentarly:smile:

[Disneyland_Wolf]

Let's remove the 12-gauge blank cannon from the Columbia Ship use it against vandalizers.

[k_peek_2000]

I don't like that idea because of the fact that it shoots blanks. Unless you put it next to there ear then im all for it. Plus you guys know they repaint the park nightly. So it's not THAT big of a deal. Even tho it is dipressing.

[luvwaltdisney]

I have seen stuff like this - gum wads, etc. It's horrible and very un-Disneylike. Those people need to go back to Knott's Berry Farm where they belong (filthy). That stuff really irks me - and spitting - YUCK!

[WeHaveIgnition05]

wow

thats really messed up

[tony]

heck they should have real cops work for disney so they can haul them away.

[WeHaveIgnition05]

well

have u heard about the "Happiest" JAIL on Earth?
lol

so

they do have cops
just they can't catch people that fast
