News New security measures

[s8film40]

Other parks had these rules and metal detectors for years actually.

I remember when Six Flags started this, it was really more a part of the type of crowd those parks attracted. They had a lot of gang violence at the park that was near me. This is really more similar to why HHN used the metal detectors. Also Six Flags was't too smart about implementing it either. They applied the no gun rule to police, police were not allowed by Six Flags to go in with a gun and not allowed by law to go in without a gun and so they were essentially banned from the park.

The media shouldn't be covering this so heavily. It's terrorism in its purest definition. People are afraid to live their normal lives. This cannot be the first time someone has been caught bringing a weapon to the park. It's absurd to ban adult costumes for the Halloween parties. Why? Banning toy guns as well? Why? They will lose a lot of business..

Oh yeah, it's the media's fault that there's a serious mental illness problem in this country and more guns than people.... /Sarcasm

You don't see Disneyland Paris,Tokyo Disney Resort or Hong Kong Disneyland pulling security to that level.

Disneyland Paris has day old Baguettes to defend themselves.

DLP has soldiers walking around the entrance with assault weapons (this was before their terrorist attack) and some serious equipment to run your personal belongings through.

So guests won't be able to sword fight with Captain Hook or Peter Pan anymore?

There's a tweet from @MousePlanet stating they confirmed with Disney that plastic swords/light sabers not part of the ban at this time.

We agree they are insane then.

I will agree it takes a very corrupt mentality to do what they do, I don't think they think they are going to eliminate our population this way. They could easily do far more damage with less high profile targets. The only reason you choose a well known guarded target is to get attention. Meaning your first priority is to get media attention, the people being killed are just the means to that end.

If the media and the population reacted with the same intensity and shock to terrorist stealing cupcakes as they do killing people they wouldn't harm anyone at all.

This can be applied to every single security measure we take then. Check points at military bases? Terrorists win. Extra police at the Jet game? Terrorists win. Lock your door at night? Terrorists win.

See what I'm saying?

Except those measures aren't about planned acts of violence.

And I believe bag scanners to look for those non-disney sourced baguettes being brought in since 2009.

Let's look on the bright side...at least they've put an end to adults wearing costumes.

The solution is somewhere in the middle. Honestly after the media made a sad attempt to stop talking about the shooters after a recent murder spree. Im of the opinion that the major outlets go way too far and almost glorify the message of these maniacs... But having said that, open carrying a rifle in starbucks is not a good idea. It doesn't help anyone and it only makes problems.

Can't we all agree that the Sara Mclachlan commercials with abused animals need to end?

That's an interesting image to see before entering a Disney Park.

DLP has had heavy security at the gates, the esplanade, the Village and the Resort hotels for a decade now. It's gotten heavier since 2005.

The soldiers are in the public areas - the esplanade. It's not Disney owned.

 

[thomas998]

Well... It won't really do anything except make Disney a less enjoyable experience. They installed metal detectors at Six Flags Over Texas a while back and it lengthened the time it takes to get into that park by several orders of magnitude.

I know they are initially saying it will not be everyone getting scanned... but just wait as soon as they scan some muslim their will be a outcry of profiling and then Disney will either be forced to abandon the scanners or scan everyone which will make the lines for 7 dwarves look short compared to getting in to the park.

 

[thomas998]

It is a public space in the sense it's open to all who purchase a ticket - it's just not publicly Owned

Maybe that's the answer. Turn it into a private resort and vet people before they are even allowed to buy a ticket to get in... Profile people and if they come from a high risk country or have anything that flags them as a potential threat they are blacklisted.

 

[bhg469]

Oh thank goodness

Well there is another Pirates movie coming and something about space coming out today... Disney will not let those kids go without their props. Probably nothing to do with that though.

Anyone claiming discrimination would have to prove that there was a disproportionate screening of certain groups versus others. As long as they are screening randomly and screening enough people, that will be impossible to prove.
