Park officials told an ABC News affiliate that guests were escorted off “about a dozen” rides, after the blackout was caused by a transformer issue. The park’s popular Monorail ride was among those that unexpectedly halted.
No one was injured by the outage.
“We’ve determined that the issue is with a Disneyland Resort transformer and our team is currently assessing and working to restore power,” a statement given to the news outlet read.
