>>A close adviser to the new King of Disneyland told that “my friend Sam” broke the sword during a visit on Jan. 8.
“He literally ripped it out,” an eyewitness told . “It was his first time at Disney and he’s a pretty buff dude. I told him if he pulled it out he’d win a prize and he just used brute force I guess.”
Disneyland employees took the “broken and jagged” Excalibur and taped over the hole in the anvil to keep visitors from cutting their fingers on the broken blade of the sword, according to the eyewitness.
Another eyewitness told they watched a “very burly man” remove the sword from the stone.
“At first it seemed as if he had pulled it out, but a (cast member) quickly came over (because) he had in fact broken it,” the second eyewitness said. <<
