What compels one to strip down and run through an amusement park ride clearly targeted for the enjoyment of small children?
This was the question at the top of many's minds after a streaker running through Disneyland's "It's a Small World" was photographed and then arrested yesterday afternoon.
Ashley Esqueda snapped the picture and reported about the incident from the scene. She said the ride was stopped for an hour while police arrested the 26-year-old gentleman for indecent exposure and acting under the influence of a controlled substance.
Videos of the incident also spread across social media, though many with the key section of the incident have been removed for fairly obvious reasons. The man was swimming in the water of "It's A Small World" until he was caught.
Naked man at Disneyland!

As news about the incident spread on social media, many were astounded that the man performed such an ill-advised stunt on one of America's most well-known children's rides, and they were ready to fire off jokes.
Apparently, the allure of water at Disney is too much for some attendees. In October, a man was escorted out of Disneyworld in Florida for jumping into EPCOT's World Showcase Lagoon.
