Disney Creator's Mine Train Argument Goes Viral: Train Held in Station as He Insists Security Cleared His Camera Pole
At Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Florida, a TikTok creator recently filmed himself arguing with a cast member while seated in a Seven Dwarfs Mine Train car, with the train held in the station, and the video has gone viral on TikTok and X. According to The Disney Scoop, which transcribed the original video in detail on November 12, the creator posts as @beardedapostolic and the video was tagged at Magic Kingdom Park.
The video opens with him seated in a mine car in the station, explaining that his train has been stopped because of his camera, even though he says park security had already cleared it. The camera is an Insta360 mounted on what his caption calls a collapsible selfie stick. While the train sat in the station, he argued with the cast member working the load area, saying the holder was attached to the camera and did not come off, telling the cast member he was not giving up his camera, and saying he had been using the setup for the last two days.
During the argument, he told the cast member, "You're not even security," and later, "You're stepping out of your lane, dude." He said security had told him he could use it as long as he did not put it out. Eventually he told them to just take him off the ride. He then asked a second cast member whether the policy on this ride was different from the rest of the park, and that cast member answered, "To my knowledge, no."
The video then cuts to the next ride he visited in the same park, where a different cast member let him hold the camera after he promised not to extend it. He closed by asking viewers whether the cast member on Seven Dwarfs was wrong, or whether he was wrong for wanting to film as a Disney content creator.
Viewers in the comments mostly sided with the cast member. One viewer wrote that content creators always feel entitled to filming wherever they want, adding that the rules on a roller coaster are there for safety reasons. Another said the time spent arguing was time other families could have been enjoying the ride.
Walt Disney World's official property rules state that selfie sticks and hand-held extension poles for cameras or mobile devices are not allowed in any theme park or water park. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, in Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom, is one of the park's most popular coasters and opened on May 28, 2014. Disney has not commented on the video, according to The Disney Scoop.
