Soarin’ Around the World gives Guests the chance to experience some of the most breathtaking sights around the world.

However, some Disneyland Guests who were recently boarding the attraction experienced a malfunction that they dubbed a “really scary feeling” at first.
“The screen froze & all rows dropped down a level, it was actually really scary feeling at first! Coming down was not smooth sailing either. Got to see behind the screen when the door opened for CM’s to get us down.”
While we’ve seen breakdowns before where the screen goes blank, and the Cast Member opens the door on the screen, not many Disney Guests have reported that they “dropped down a level.” While this may have seemed scary, it should be noted that all Disney attractions are heavily inspected and have certain safety measures in place to ensure that, even during a breakdown, Guests are safe.

At no point is any Guest in danger when a ride breaks down as long as they follow the directions of Disney Cast Members, who have been expertly-trained to handle these situations. If an evacuation must occur, Disney Cast Members will safely get the Guests off the attraction and to the nearest exit. While this may seem alarming at first, there is no real danger and it’s important to remain calm and follow what the Disney Cast Members say.
