Based on a screenshot taken from the Disneyland app, several rides were “temporarily closed” following the quake. Those rides included Hyperspace Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, the Haunted Mansion, and Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters.
“Several (not all) attractions at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure are temporarily closed/offline due to the earthquake. Inspections normal after seismic activity. Expect impacted rides to reopen soon,” Tribune Media reporter Scott Gustin tweeted along with the screenshot.”
