"Anaheim police confirmed that fire and rescue units responded at 6:30 p.m. and found a woman in her 60s unresponsive. She had just finished riding the Halloween version of the Haunted Mansion, which combines characters from Tim Burton's famed "The Nightmare Before Christmas" movie with the classic features of the iconic ride. Disneyland security performed CPR until paramedics arrived, according to Anaheim Police Sgt. Matt Sutter. She was moved to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead."
"There is no indication of any operating issue with the attraction, which reopened soon after, Sutter said in an email. The slow-moving ride shuttles guests on "doom buggies," which are seats that travel approximately one mile an hour. Dennis Speigel, founder and chief executive of the leisure and attractions consultant agency International Theme Park Services Inc, said the ride is more apt to cause unexpected naps than medical incidents."
