List of incidents at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a summary of noted incidents that have taken place at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort in Hong Kong. The term incidents refers to major accidents, injuries, deaths, and significant crimes. While these incidents are required to be reported to regulatory authorities for investigation, attraction-related incidents usually fall into one of the following categories:
- Caused by negligence on the guest's part. This can be refusal to follow specific ride safety instructions, or deliberate intent to break park rules.
- The result of a guest's known or unknown health issues.
- Negligence on the park's part, either by the ride operator or maintenance.
- Act of God or a generic accident (e.g. slipping and falling) that is not a direct result of an action on anybody's part.

Festival of the Lion King
- On December 28, 2023, a male performer was injured during a segment of the show in which the male performer was to spin a female performer around, whilst being attached to a rope, then releasing to allow the female performer to spin whilst the rope raises to allow the female actor to be airborne. However, the rope attached to a female performer lifted up prematurely, causing the rope to rise with both performers, as opposed to just the female performer. The weight of both performers, and the spinning momentum exerted onto the female performer caused the male performer to twist his arms with the female performer, unable to remain grip, and falling onto the stage, injuring the performer, and temporarily stopping the show.
