When you take your child to Disneyland, you generally have a straightforward expectation: fork over your cash for a magical experience. So it’s no wonder that some parents were utterly shocked during a ride on Ariel’s Undersea Adventure when things took a horrifying turn—a decapitated Ursula, anyone?
Ariel’s Undersea Adventure is a quick, five-minute ride that invites guests aboard seashell boats to explore the enchanting story of The Little Mermaid. It sounds delightful and perfect for young children. You eagerly hop on, despite the Disneyland website describing it as “slow, dark,” and “loud.” And trust me, it lives up to that description. By the time you reach Ursula, the atmosphere shifts dramatically—the lights dim, the music turns ominous, and you pass by hissing eels with glowing eyes. Your kids are likely in tears and trying to escape the ride. But what if you suddenly saw this?
Yikes! Somehow, Ursula’s head has gone missing. Let’s break this down: First, the figure lacks a head. Second, she continues to sing. Third, witnesses reported that her face was still moving. Fourth, her head was hanging by wires or ligaments. Fifth, this is a serious immersion killer, Disney. Lastly, all this chaos occurs in a slow, dark, and loud setting.
A Twitter user, @happyfamily90, shared a video of this bizarre incident that quickly went viral. According to her, the children on her ride were understandably upset. “As soon as we got off, we were hurried out alongside everyone else, and the staff seemed genuinely concerned,” she told an online publication. “Many kids witnessed Ursula’s decapitation, and they were not okay with it.”
In an even stranger twist, this wasn’t the only character found headless that weekend. Reports indicated that the auctioneer from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride also lost his head. Seriously, Disney? It sounds like there’s a headless mystery unfolding. Let’s hope this gets resolved before any more beloved characters meet a similar fate.
For now, you might want to steer clear of that Little Mermaid ride. (Catch my drift? I’ve been sitting on that pun for a while.)
