The Big Thunder Mountain (le train de la mine) is one of the more famous attractions in Disneyland Paris. It was built 19 years ago, at the opening of the park. Sunday, April 24th last, during the Easter weekend when the crowd was several ten of thousand visitors, an accident occurred. A 38 year old man was transported by helicopter at the hospital following an accident in the Big Thunder Mountain. An artificial rock made of resin separated from the attraction and then hit five passengers. Four of the five have no serious injuries but one suffered a head injury. Officers and handlers cannot explain this accident because all attractions are verified each day. 

At the Economic side :

The accident comes at a bad time while the turnover of Disneyland Paris - Walt Disney Studios declined in 2010 about 2.9 million to attain $ 685 3 million reflecting a decline in attendance from 3% to 15 million visits. At the Paris Bourse, investors are indifferent to the news. Euro Disney shares win 0.57% to 8.78€ after the first half hour of trading, while the CAC 40 lost 0.24%.
