"Anyone who's spent a fair amount of time at Disneyland has likely seen it: a group of people pushing their way through a long line, trying to catch up to the rest of their party farther along in the ride queue. At best, it's an annoying inconvenience to let that many people cut ahead of you in a line you've been waiting in like everyone else; at worst, the breach in basic etiquette and park rules can result in unpleasant altercations between the line-skippers and people they've offended."
"According to witnesses, the line-skipping family fled the scene and left the park. As of Jan. 5, the member of that family involved in the altercation has not been identified, though KTLA-TV reports, "Sutter said investigators have strong leads on his identity and believe he is a Southern California resident." When SFGATE asked for an update, the Anaheim Police Department did not respond in time for publication."
"The man who was punched was visiting from Washington state with his wife and teenage daughter, according to KTLA-TV. He was reportedly treated on-site by Disneyland medics and went to the hospital for stitches on his forehead. He then returned to the park with his family for the rest of the day. A Reddit user who says she's the victim's wife, @wittwitbarista, said, "He refused to hit back (which took a lot of discipline) because he didn't want the rest of the family get kicked or us blacklisted."
On Dec. 30, a confrontation over line-skipping at Disneyland's Indiana Jones ride escalated into a bloody fistfight between two guests. A family of six reportedly cut through the queue to reach other party members, prompting a man waiting in line to speak up. Witnesses say the line-skipping family fled the park after the altercation, and the involved family member had not been identified as of Jan. 5 despite investigators having strong leads. The punched man, visiting from Washington with his wife and teenage daughter, received stitches and later returned to the park.
