A man on Wednesday night fell 25 feet from the line of the Tower of Terror attraction at Disney's California Adventure Park. The man was treated by medics on the scene, and according to a Disney spokeswoman, the man was taken to a local hospital for minor injuries, treated, and released. For more on this click this link:

Was this in the queue area where it splits and part goes up stairs after the "library and the preshow room"?  That's the only area I can think of where the queue line is elevated. 

Sounds like "rider error" to me.

Agreed.  Sounds like he was doing something he shouldn't have.

I saw another article yesterday (can't remember where) that mentioned drunkenness as the reason.  :dunno:
