Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion opened in 1969 and is a low-speed ride that ‘contains some mildly frightening scenes’ but no gore, according to the theme park’s website.
There are Haunted Mansion rides at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom park in Orlando, Florida, as well as Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris.
Last month 32-year-old wheelchair user Kevin Rodriguez Zavala was killed on Universal Orlando’s new 62mph rollercoaster, the Stardust Racers.
It’s unclear what caused the trauma, and police continue to investigate, but the lawyer representing Mr Zavala’s family claim several people have come forward to say they had been injured on the ride since it opened in May, the Daily Mail reports.
