A 20-year-old man waiting in line for a ride at Disney's California Adventure Park fell 25 to 30 feet Wednesday night, Anaheim police spokesman Sgt. Rick Martinez said Thursday.

The man was in the building housing the queue for the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, when he put his leg over the railing and fell, Martinez said.

"The guest was standing in line with friends on a second-floor platform when he climbed over a barrier to the area below and lost his balance and fell approximately 25 feet," Disneyland spokeswoman Suzi Brown said in a statement.

Paramedics on site treated the man, Martinez said. A dispatcher for Metro Cities Fire Authority, which serves seven Orange County cities, said the man was brought to University of California Irvine Medical Center.

"The guest was transported by ambulance to the hospital. We understand his injuries were minor and he has been treated and released," Brown said.

The incident happened around 10:30 p.m., the Metro Cities dispatcher said. It caused Disney to shut down the ride briefly while paramedics attended to the fallen park-goer, Martinez said, adding that the ride reopened soon thereafter.

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is a ride that brings visitors to the top of an elevator shaft, then drops them. The Disneyland website says, "Join thrill-seekers at the mysterious Hollywood Tower Hotel for the ultimate adrenaline rush. For the longest 2 minutes of your life, rise and fall at terrifying speeds in the hotel's haunted elevator."

The California Adventure Park is adjacent to Disneyland in Anaheim.

Fool!!!

I'm sorry but if you go climbing over the railing, you deserve all you get.

The railings are there for a reason!

It's just unfortunate that some people will have missed out on riding the ToT because of one person's stupidity.

At least he won't do it again! Mind you, he's obviously not the most intelligent guy in the world so who knows!

I am sorry this fella got hurt, but what was he thinking?
Now Disney might have to think about protective netting to keep others from trying this and that would ruin the queue.

Some people need to use their heads!

[teacher2be84]

People need to remember that there are lines and barricades for a reason...to keep us safe! I'm glad the man is okay, but he's obviously not the brightest crayon in the box.

just watch. He's probably going to sue for too high of a queue line. haha. He's a fool. Why can't people just follow the rules?

Oh, he'll do it again. This time I hope he doesn't get noticed for a while. I know, that's mean, but the guy really needs to be taken out of the gene pool. We don't need any more of him around.

He will probably sue them for not making the barrier go all the way to the ceiling thus allowing him the ability to fall. Nevermind the fact that he is a grown man and should know better. Heck, my 7 year old son would know better.

That's what worries me. There's enough nut-jobs around suing Disney for stupid reasons without another °°°°° joining them.

I wonder if he beat the elevator?

[disneylovin']

As my grandma used to say... He's a fry short of a happy meal.

Sigh...I'm glad he was treated and released, seemingly ok. But, I just wish people would think sometimes.
