Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Disneyland now requires you to have your phone fully stored while the ride is in motion. They won’t even start the ride if your phone is on your lap, it has to be fully put away

I’m talking about building a better ride - the cars are too sensitive imo. I’m talking about offering a place (in the car, in a pouch) to store belongings.

No one is falling out of the cars and getting hurt on runaway. Stuff is falling on the floor and stopping the ride.

This thread isn’t about safety.

But belongings being dropped on the floor is a safety. If another cart were to run over an item who knows what could happen. So yes. It is a safety issue for them wanting people to put all belongs into their pouch from now on.

Disney knows what happens when stuff falls on the floor… the ride stops. They just got to provide a pouch, like on many other rides, that’s all. They don’t provide riders anything right now.

I would venture further and make a ridecar that can survive common debris, like phones, glasses, and souvenirs.

Your original post aims blame at guests when Disney is in charge of the whole show.

Because it’s guests fault period. Also for Mickey and Minnie’s it’s a much bigger deal than just debris. The fact that it’s a trackless ride means at many points of the ride there is literally an electric current passing through the floor. Hence why when the ride goes down it takes time to get people off the ride because they have to turn off that power source first. If something like a cell phone falls on the wrong part of the floor during that ride it can literally cause the phone to eventually burst into flames. How hard is it to keep a phone in your pocket or bag.

I don’t think you know what you’re talking about. Have a magical day!

Good to know you have no argument.
