The fight broke out in the queue of a popular ride at Disneyland Park, in Shanghai, allegedly over one family trying to cut the queue and others trying to stop them
A brawl broke out at Disneyland after some visitors became angry over queue cutting with the whole thing caught on camera by a shocked onlooker. The fight, which was filmed by a witness, involved a couple, and a family of three and shows a man wearing a black t-shirt had grabbed the other man, in a white t-shirt, by the neck.
They both wrestled each other as a woman wearing a hat with rabbit ears attached to it repeatedly flailed out her arms. She tried to hit both of the men before running at a visitor, part of the family of three, who carried a child. The woman hit both of them, including the little girl, which caused the mum to break down into tears and crouch on the ground.

She kept the child tightly in her arms and held her close to her chest. As she cried, the focus went back to the two men as the woman wearing the rabbit hat went to join in on the scuffle.
The man in the white t-shirt who appeared to be part of the family, was wrestled to the ground after he fell on some steps. When he hit the floor, the woman who was still holding her child became hysterical as she reached out her arm to the man.
She then stood up and grabbed the woman wearing the hat, and began to shout. The shocking scenes attracted a large number of tourists who watched in horror, as reported by NeedToKnow.
According to local press, the couple and the family engaged in an argument over a queue. It has also been reported that the couple tried to have a photo together which was blocked by the family.
What began as a heated exchange quickly turned into a physical confrontation. The fight took place near the ride called Crazy Animal City, at Disneyland Park, in Shanghai, China.
Security personnel who work at the park intervened and were able to break up the fight. It is not known whether those involved suffered consequences as a result of their actions.
Local press have reported that tourists may face a permanent ban on entering the park if they engage in violent behaviour. On the official website for the Disneyland park in Shanghai, their rules include several remarks on guest’s behaviour inside the park.
“Please show common courtesy, both on-site and online, to fellow Park guests, our Cast Members (including but not limited to staff and performers) and the Disney Characters, and do not use profanity or engage in unsafe, illegal, disruptive or offensive behavior,” states one rule. While another says: “Please respect fellow guests while queuing.
“Be careful not to bump into and push others in the queue. Guests are not permitted to use personal belongings of any kind, including but not limited to strollers, raincoats, and blankets, etc., to reserve viewing places while waiting for shows. The entire party should wait together.”
If these rules are broken, the park warns: “We reserve the right to deny admission to any person, or to require a person already admitted, to leave the Park immediately, without refund or compensation, for failure to comply with any of the Park rules, relevant rules for attractions or theater shows, or specific rules for Annual Pass, Disney Standby Pass, Disney Premier Access, Early Park Entry Pass, Disney Concierge Services, Disney Premier Tours or other entitlements, for unsafe, illegal, disruptive or offensive behavior, or for behavior that causes suspension of attractions or entertainment performances, to ensure safety, security or order, or if we consider that the circumstances so require.”
