4 People Try to Climb the Tree of Life in Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Yesterday in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, 4 people tried to climb the Tree of Life on Discovery Island.  The above is a picture that was taken at the scene of one of the climbers.

Disney security reportedly caught up with the 4 park guests, though it’s not known what kind of discipline was taken against them.

This follows a trend of Disney park guests who feel the need to climb the various buildings located throughout the parks.  A couple years ago a drunk man decided to climb the pyramid in the Mexico Pavilion in Epcot, not to mention various guests who have entered the fountains at Jouney into Imagination or at the Epcot entrance.

I think guests who decide to go so far out of bounds to do something like climb the Tree of Life should be banned from the Disney parks, at least one year, if not more.  Or as some readers have suggested: Make them ride “It’s a Small World” for 24hrs straight!  That would make people think a little more before doing something so stupid that could risk their lives or lives of others!  What about you?

My name is Ziggy and I love Disney, everything Disney! I grew up on Disney and it has and continues to be a huge part of my life. I started young when my parents took me to Disney World when I was 18 months old. Little did they know that would be the first of an uncountable number of trips we would take. I have so many amazing memories going to Disney with my family and friends and it has been interwoven into my DNA.
