'Crazy Scene': Disneyland Computers Crash, Barring Guests From Park
Massive crowds were trapped outside of the park's front gates after computer issues prevented visitors from entering late Thursday morning.
ANAHEIM, CA — Disneyland guests were temporarily barred from entering the park late Thursday morning after a massive computer system crash brought operations at both Disneyland and Disneyland California Adventure to a sudden halt, multiple outlets reported.
The outage left visitors unable to enter the front gates or to use many of the features reliant on technology at the theme parks, according to Walt Disney World news.
The crash was reported at around 11:30 a.m. and was resolved in about half an hour, according to Disneyland officials.

"Crazy scene @Disneyland," Penfold wrote on Twitter. "Thousands trapped outside the entrance as ticketing has completely broken down. Nobody new can be let in until system gets fixed."
