The simple security solution is to use thermographic or infrared cameras at security checkpoints and around the park.Dryice would stick out like a sore thumb. Cameras around the parks and backstage would also alert security if there were any dry ice spills from food carts or other sources.
Everything needed to do this (dry ice, water and a plastic bottle) is available inside the parks.I can see Disney not allowing anyone to bring any food or drink in from the outside after this.
Yes, Dave. Please change the title to "Minor Trash Can Loud Bang at DisneyLAND in Anaheim."
Good! Prosecute and fire him.@ABC7
#BREAKINGNEWS Anaheim detectives arrest Disneyland outdoor vending cast member for yesterday's dry ice explosion in Toontown area
$1M bail... Oh, snap!
Kid makes a loud bang in a garbage can, he is arrested and held for a million dollars. Two guys joyride in a golf cart, they're arrested and charged with Grand Theft.
Guy attacks a little girl, they pay to fly him to India.
I do not understand Disney at all.
I kinda understand where you are coming from, but ultimately I think that's the wrong attitude. Intentionally causing harm is worse than accidentally causing harm under every system of law I know, and I think that's right. Put another way, if I found out the CM involved in this story had set out to raise awareness for melting ice caps or whatever, it wouldn't raise my opinion of him. I think the larger point to make to "the youth" is that being an idiot could result in just as much pain and misery as terrorism.Thank god no one was injured. What really es me off is that this is likely some stupid punk kid trying to be cool/funny. As weird as it sounds, they make me angrier than terrorists. At least terrorists are trying to make a political (if evil) point. These types of pranks are just people being morons and potential causing injuries by "accident."
Sorry, vent over.
Same basic principal as diet coke and mentos, but with a lot more punch. The dry ice (solid CO2) rapidly turns to gas when you add a little water and will make a sealed plastic bottle explode.
Completely admit to not understanding it. In fact, did before! Not sure I even want to understand it.I think you are assuming that "Disney" is some sort of giant borg-like entity where all the strings are pulled in unison from a central dramatically-lit command center in a Burbank bunker.
"Green Sector, Arrest Those Drunk Tourists!" --- "Blue Sector, Check On That Ice Cream Vendor Playing With The Dry Ice!" --- "Orange Sector, Buffet #34 Needs More Shrimp Cocktail!"
That's not actually the case. Nor is it the case with any big company or organization. It's just people doing their jobs as best they can under a basic set of rules, and sometimes they make mistakes and sometimes they get it right.
I don't know the situation behind the Cruise Line thing with the Indian guy, nor do I really care as I'm not a Cruise Line fan. But to say "Disney" purposely decides en masse how to react to every nuance of every daily incident is either painting with a very, very broad brush about two miles wide, or is simply a lack of understanding of how any large company or organization works day to day.
That...would be me. Outdoor food vendor, eh? Sounds like...Ice Cream vendor?Whomever called Cast member, they win the prize.

Turns out it was a 22-year-old outdoor food vendor.
I think he did it on purpose, but probably didn't realize the impact it would make.A million dollars for bail is insane.
Guess that's what happens when you mess with Walt's park, though I have a feeling the CM didn't do it on purpose.
So...what is the prize?
What, no pie from the not yet "well known" member? Phooey!lots of "likes"
