“Breaking” being the operative word. . . Tonight, around 4:45 pm, an incident occurred at Tarzan’s Treehouse in Adventureland at Disneyland, causing the attraction to close and Cast Members to respond urgently. The attraction was evacuated and guests kept away from the entry to the Treehouse.
It appears that someone jumped on the rope bridge with enough force to break a slat, causing a dangerous fall potential. Guests in the area could hear the snapping of the board, which is how we became aware of the situation.
At this time, it does NOT appear that any injuries were reported, but a search was underway to identify the guest who created the incident.
If you were in the area or have additional information to share, please do so below or contact us with details and/or photos.
UPDATES FROM GUESTS IN THE PARK
The following photos and information were sent to us by guests in the park. We can not corroborate the information bellow:
A guest who claims to have witnessed the incident claims that an adult was jumping on the bridge to show his children that the bridge wouldn’t break. It promptly broke.
If you look closely, you can see that there is one board which has been cracked all the way through, a net appears to have been placed atop the broken board.
The attraction is closed until further notice.
