I went to Disney when I was 18, which was in 1981. We were waiting in line at Space Mountain talking to some guy who said he used to work there. He said when he worked the Space Mountain ride, some loudmouth guy from New Jersey was in the back seat of the back car and kept putting his hands up in the air. The employees kept saying "keep your hands down and stay in your seat". The ride goes and comes back and the New Jersey guy is missing his head. This guy we're talking to said everybody was freaking out and they had to shut the whole thing down and hunt through the whole building for this guys head. I said, "yeah, right, I never saw that in the papers" and he says "when did you ever see an accident at Disney in the papers ? They don't let that stuff leak out." Freaky, huh ?
I went to Disney World when I was 10. I rode the Jaws ride first, and I was sitting right on the edge of the boat. I freaked out and pushed everyone in my row to the opposite edge of the boat when Jaws popped out the water.
