Disneyland Sued Over Fatal Accident on Ride
Disneyland has been sued over the accident that happened on Big Thunder Mountain over a year ago. They claim (maybe correctly) that "operators were afraid to take the train out of operation, even after hearing unusual noises, because of an 'atmosphere of intimidation' created by Disney management."
It is well known that under Paul Pressler's control the maintenance was lacking at Disneyland. Parts were used until they failed, instead of being regularly replaced. For more information on that, I suggest checking MiceAge's archives.
