ANAHEIM, CA—A popular Disneyland ride was temporarily shut down recently after cremated human remains were scattered on the ride, according to numerous social media posts. The typically glossy black floor of the "Rise of the Resistance" attraction was smeared with bone chips and dust.

The ride was closed for several hours that day due to the necessary HEPA cleaning, the original Reddit poster said in a thread named "Ashes on Attractions." Still, the conversation has sparked numerous comments on the creepy practice of scattering cremains at the park and the psychological effects on park workers — Cast Members —forced to clean up the mess.

For the record, the Happiest Place on Earth isn't a legally sanctioned final resting place without written permission from the Walt Disney Company.

The Galaxy's Edge ride has joined the short list of places at the theme park where illicit cremation scattering has been witnessed. According to both the LA Times and Wall Street Journal, "It's a Small World," "Pirates of the Caribbean," and "Haunted Mansion" also share that dubious honor.

As a Disneyland fan, this makes me very sad.

1. As a labor fan, this makes me very sad.

Narcissistic assholes who think they or their families are the main character are constantly abusing or traumatizing workers, and not just at amusement parks.

Did these assholes think the cremains would just magically disappear? What the fuck were they expecting to happen after they scattered them?

2. What the shit is wrong with people?

3. "What should we do with Dad's ashes?"

I know! Let’s take them to Disney and scatter them all over a ride! There is something wrong with people. These people not only thought it. They actually did it. Where did we go wrong?

6. Ya really, there's like a cemetary at the Haunted Mansion.

Could have dumped it there but I think it's closed at the moment. Maybe that explains it rofl.

5. Looking at this issue

Is like trying to figure out why anyone would vote for Trump, why would I take either of my parents ashes and dump them in a public place almost on top of people's heads? It's one of life's great questions....

7. If it was indeed cremains, there would be no infectious danger.

That said, any debris can pose a slipping danger - and shouldn't be left on a ride.

8. Any one ever thought that this stunt might be political to bad name Disney?

That nasty De Santis would pull that kind of trick.

9. This was at Disneyland, not Disney World.

But you have a point, though given the fact this was not the first time, it might not be political.
