Disneyland Resort recently made an “expensive” fix after a guest reportedly tore off part of a support pillar at Disney California Adventure Park.

Redditor u/Izzy_Forreal recently shared this photo of black Gaffer tape covering up a broken chunk of a pole at Disney California Adventure Park:

Another Disney Parks fan said they observed a reckless scooter crash into one of the same poles during a recent visit, damaging it.

“I saw a kid drive a scooter full speed into that wall and one of the metal pieces fell off like last week,” u/BreakfastQueeen wrote.

It’s unclear whether this scooter incident caused the damage seen in this photo. Some Disney Parks fans suggested the weather could’ve caused part of the pillar to deteriorate.

“Probably the rain,” u/snobrotha replied.

Others joked that the Gaffer’s tape used as a temporary fix was probably more expensive than the original pillar decorations.

“Dang that gaffer tape probably costs more than the piece of wall that is missing,” u/ChewieBee commented. “…[It’s] ~$20-25 and up for a roll. I can get 6 rolls of packing tape or duct tape for that much. The roll I’m finishing up was $50.”

Walt Disney Imagineers plan for guest behavior when building any new structure at Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park—even the guarding on support beams. As u/Tara_Cloudtrader pointed out, even the simplest details are made with guest safety in mind.

“I know it sounds crazy, but those kinds of bumpers on pillars are made of Styrofoam with a thin veneer to hide it,” the Disney Parks fan wrote. “Someone with a cart, stroller, or other hard object probably crashed into and tore a bit off, exposing the Styrofoam. They’ll probably fix it soon.”
