A tourist has died after passing out on a Frozen-themed ride at Disneyland Hong Kong.
The 53-year-old, from the Philippines, boarded the Frozen Ever After ride at the resort on Friday but soon lost consciousness.
The man’s wife was sitting next to him and immediately alerted staff after he became unresponsive, Mail Online reports.
He was given CPR by first aid responders as soon as the ride returned to the dock and was taken to hospital.
Tragically, he was pronounced dead a short time later.
Police were alerted to the incident at 10.18am and were given his medical history by his wife.
She told officers he had a history of heart disease and high blood pressure going back more than ten years, and needed frequent treatments.
A Disneyland Hong Kong spokesman said: “The resort deeply regrets the passing of the guest and will do its utmost to provide necessary assistance to his family.
“The initial investigation has shown the incident is not related to ride safety.”
Today, the Philippine Consulate General in Hong Kong confirmed that a Filipino national had died and that it was working with authorities to assist his family.
The Frozen Ever After ride is the centrepiece of the park’s Frozen area and opened to much fanfare in November 2023.
It is a water lagoon ride set against a backdrop of scenes inspired by the 2013 animated film Frozen and the 2015 animated short Frozen Fever.
