A Whole New World (of Malfunctioning Magic Carpets) at Disneyland

Aladdin and Jasmine experienced a whole new horror on Sunday afternoon during "Disney's Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular" at California Adventure. While soaring over the audience, the not-so-magic carpet malfunctioned and left both performers hanging above the crowd by their harnesses.

The 4:45pm show was suspended as crew members scrambled to fix the carpet. A calm, robotic male voice explained via the speakers, "This performance cannot continue. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused you." Audience members were instructed to evacuate by the voice. "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. At this time, we ask that you please exit through the doors on your right. Thank you."

No injuries were reported. "As is our safety practice, both performers were harnessed and they were uninjured," said Disneyland spokeswoman Suzi Brown, according to L.A. Now.

Here's how the famous ride originally triumphed.
