Classic Disneyland ride malfunctions, sending guests slamming into doors

Decades-old Disneyland ride based on classic animated movie malfunctions, as mishap is caught on video by a resort guest earlier this month.

Some recent Disneyland guests did not get their chance to "glide through the White Rabbit’s House, Tulgey Wood and the Queen’s Garden" as the Alice in Wonderland attraction's website says, after it malfunctioned and gave guests a fright.

Amanda Poole was filming her ride experience on Aug. 3, and it appears she knew something was off before reaching the ride's iconic tunnel that features glow-in-the-dark teapots.

"Broken," she can be heard saying while doors shut between her ride carriage and the one in front of her that had just gone through.

"Ah!" she screams as her carriage runs into the doors. "Oh my God!"

"Just got smacked by the door on Alice in Wonderland," she explains to the camera while donning a pair of Minnie ears.

The ride then quickly stops, and the lights come on in the once-dark tunnel while an announcement is made over a loudspeaker advising guests to remain seated until assistance arrives.

"It was kind of jumpy throughout the ride," she continues. "The doors opened, then went ‘Bam!’ right on our caterpillar."

Alice in Wonderland originally opened in 1958, paying homage to the 1951 Disney film that features Wonderland's The Mad Hatter, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Cheshire Cat and more. 

The ride is a Disneyland exclusive, leading to its popularity among guests. The attraction experienced updates and upgrades in 1984 and 2014, Disney's website states. 

"After 50 years, Alice in Wonderland continues to be a favorite stop in Fantasyland for both children and adults," Disney says.
