The Story Behind Why Disneyland Is Apparently Removing Lamp Posts From The Theme Parks

Mickey Mouse in Magic Happens parade at Disneyland.

It’s far from uncommon for construction, or deconstruction, to be happening inside a theme park like Disneyland. I don’t remember the last time I was in any theme park and didn’t see construction barriers up for one reason or another. Right now, you'll find Splash Mountain undergoing a major transformation, and the Adventureland Treehouse only just reopened after a several-month closure. One of the side effects of parks continuously evolving is that work is always happening. But some of the work you may have seen at Disneyland in the last few days is a little bit different. 

If you’ve seen work being done on light posts and other fixtures around the park, that’s due to an incident that took place last week in which a lamppost was blown over in high winds, resulting in three park guests being injured. As a result, crews have been out doing work on similar lampposts, with The Blast reporting that at least one similar to the one that fell has been removed and other lights have been removed from posts.
