Disneyland Closed after 7.2 earthquake

Disneyland has precautionary measures in place if there ever was an earthquake. Today after the 7.2 Earthquake that hit the Baja Mexico but could be felt very well in downtown Los Angeles, was the real deal.

The local television news station ABC7 says that the Disneyland security has shut down the park and there are people stuck in elevators. Here is what was put on Twitter only minutes ago.

'BREAKING: Disneyland security reports that all rides are shut down and some people are trapped in elevators after the quake.'

Disneyland prepares for this type of situation and so does Disneyland security. While nobody ever wants to be stuck in an elevator, officials know exactly what to do to help individuals.

The media are reminding everyone not to use up all their time on the cell phones. Instead use your text messaging to notify family and friends of your condition while emergency workers use the lines of communications for emergency use.

Probably afraid that the quake loosened the supports for the Skyway and Peoplemover attractions.

Yikes, I'd be freaking out! Did they say if it was an elevator on an attraction or in one of the resorts?

Wow, that is pretty interesting. But considering the number of things that could go wrong with that much rattle and shake, guess it is a good idea to shut down and inspect.

The two parks are now open, however Disneyland is about 50% open. By now everything should be back to normal. Lets hope everything is ok, like the monorail supports and ect.
