An 83-year-old Disney World visitor with an undisclosed pre-existing condition had a “cardiac event” and later died after riding the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover ride at the Magic Kingdom on Sept. 25, an injury report released by the state Tuesday revealed.
The man’s death involving the slow-moving tram attraction is the first reported by a major Florida theme park since May 2021, when a 58-year-old man with an unknown pre-existing condition passed out upon leaving Epcot’s Spaceship Earth attraction and later died at the hospital.
Twelve people were injured on Disney and Universal rides from July through September, according to a Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services report. Injuries included guests passing out and experiencing various types of body pain, and one guest went into labor after leaving an attraction.
