Full articleTOKYO (AFP) — Tokyo Disneyland on Wednesday cancelled parades for the first time since it opened 25 years ago after a massive ornament broke off on a float, narrowly missing visitors.
A 300-kilogramme (660 pound) ornament fell off the float during a parade on Tuesday, said Oriental Land Co., which operates the park.
After the accident, the park suspended parades while it conducts an investigation and does not know when they will resume, Oriental Land said. Amusement rides were functioning as normal.

This is what the float looks like. Any guesses as to what fell off? Could have been nasty. (Yes, buzz goes round on the little mini monorail track!)
