When Disney says no selfie sticks on their rides, they mean it.

On Wednesday afternoon, the California Screamin' roller coaster at Disney's California Adventure park in Anaheim came to an abrupt stop when a rider whipped out a selfie stick. Guests are instructed to secure their belongings while on rides, and to make sure that rule is enforced, there are cameras everywhere so eagle-eyed employees can spot infractions. Officials say the ride was only shut down for a few minutes, and there's no word yet on what happened to the wayward rider.
