Man who had to listen to 'It's a Small World' for three hours sues Disney

A disabled man has been awarded $8,000 (€6,107) by Disneyland in California after the “It’s A Small World” ride broke, stranding him for three hours while its theme song played continuously.

Jose Martinez was the only passenger not evacuated when the ride broke down and staff failed to call the fire department to free him.

Mr Martinez uses a wheelchair, suffers from panic attacks and high blood pressure, and needed to urinate for much of the time he was stranded.
