Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney World Resort, Tokyo Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris all have a version of the attraction, and each one is spectacular in its own way.

Disney theme parks pride themselves on having something to offer every Guest who walks through their gates. Whether you are looking for delicious food, incredible character interactions, or thrilling rides, Disney has something for everyone. While Disney does offer some fast and scary roller coasters, they realize that these attractions are not for everyone. For many fans, the irrational fear of a track coming derailed is the biggest deterrent when it comes to riding roller coasters.

Unfortunately, this nightmare became a reality for fans, according to one recent TikTok video.

However, some Guests seem to think that this is not the full story. Numerous commenters have pointed out that this is not a derailed vehicle but apparently a “ride switchback.”

The full story of what happened here is not known, but regardless, this video ignited the worst nightmares of many fans. Definitely do not show this to your friends who are afraid of Space Mountain!
