A report in theWall Street Journalhas revealed a rather gruesome pattern , whispered about but not confirmed until now , taking position at Walt Disney theme park in Florida and California .
About once a month , it appears that a guest will scatter the remains of a loved one somewhere in the park , as the green obviously hold a exceptional place in their pith . And stave even have a orphic codification to deal with the practice .
“ No code is kept more under wraps at Walt Disney World and Disneyland than the call for a ‘ HEPA cleanup position , ’ ” mark the Journal . “ It means that , once again , a commons guest has disperse the cremated ash of a loved one somewhere in the parking area , and an ultrafine ( or ‘ HEPA ’ ) vacuum cleanser is take to suck them up . ”
The pattern is , of course of action , illegal , as entertainment park are secret belongings , which mean you need to receive license from the owner to scatter ashes on secret nation ( here ’s ahandy guideto where you could and ca n’t do this ) . Anyone caught doing it at a Disney theme park will be ejected from the commons , although there are no reputation of arrests being made yet .
However , that has n’t stopped multitude from repeatedly scattering ashes there , with some attractions – like the Haunted Mansion – being particularly popular .
To get the stiff into the park , would - be - scatterers use empty lozenge bottle , Ziploc traveling bag or other method to sneak past security . If ash tree is found on a ride , the staff will close it and use the richly - powered vacuum to get free of the stiff .
“ It ’s a sweet way to titter and remember — he ’s here … and there … and a little over there … yep , there , too , ” Caryn Reker of Jacksonville , Florida , who spread out the ashes of her father in Disney World in 2006 , told the WSJ .
AsGizmodonoted , however , this is n’t the first sentence story of the dead have been reported at a Disney park . A paper from the Los Angeles Times in 2007 say that constabulary arrived at the Anaheim park after a guest was seen “ sprinkling an unidentified inwardness into the water . ”
We should add here that , while the gesture might be nice for the loved one that has passed away , that praxis is really not a good idea at all . They can cause pollution if they get into a water supply , and it ’s just generally jolly gross for others that come into striking with the ash .
