- Two viral TikTok videos posted on Sunday show a woman exiting an Epcot ride while it was moving.
- She was also seen fighting with other parkgoers who remained seated and urged her to sit down.
- The person who posted the videos claims the woman was drunk and removed by security.
Epcot, one of the most relaxed parks at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, became the site of a chaotic moment this month as a parkgoer exited a ride while it was in motion.
In two TikTok videos posted on Sunday, a young woman is seen standing on the emergency-exit platform of the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros while yelling at those who remained seated in ride boats.
TikToker shianne_1995 who shared the clips — which have now been viewed more than 1.5 million times — claimed in the caption of her first video that the woman was drunk.
The TikToker and representatives for Disney World did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.
Some parkgoers can be heard yelling back and urging the woman to sit down. The woman, however, can be seen unhooking a security railing and walking to the ride exit.
There, she was greeted by an employee who said: "No. Ma'am, you cannot leave the station right now. You are not leaving." Still, the woman was seen jumping over the queue dividers to leave.
The TikToker who shared the videos wrote as her second post's caption: "Part two. She screamed. Tried to fight with the people in the boat behind her. Swung on two young workers. Scared kids and pissed everyone off. Then ran and had to be taken out by security."
The attraction in Epcot's Mexico pavilion is a gentle, child-friendly boat ride that follows characters Panchito and José Carioca as they search for Donald Duck. It lasts under 10 minutes and relies mostly on screens and short animatronic sequences.
The ride is similar to another boat attraction at Epcot called Living with the Land, which was the site of a similar incident in June 2021 when a woman was filmed jumping off one of its boats and stealing a cucumber.
