Power outage hits Tokyo Disneyland, people tweet sad photos
Tokyo Disney Resort was hit by a powerful lightning strike on Tuesday at about noon, resulting in a sweeping outage across its theme parks.
The resort complex comprises two theme parks, Disneyland and DisneySea. It appears the park went silent, as many attractions ground to a halt and other landscape features such as fountains and music speakers stopped.
No one was injured, but at 2 p.m., many of the park's rides were not resumed yet, reports the Asahi Shimbun.
