The name "Mickey's Death Wheel" for a ride at the Disneyland or Disney World parks has its origins in a blend of folklore and urban legend. Legend has it that many decades ago, when the park was still in its early stages, a mysterious carnival worker named Mickey arrived with a peculiar attraction—a colossal Ferris wheel that towered over the park's skyline. However, this ride soon gained a notorious reputation, as whispers circulated about the eerie occurrences that took place on it. Rumors of unexplained incidents, spine-chilling encounters, and even unconfirmed stories of fatalities began to swirl, leading visitors to dub it "Mickey's Death Wheel." While the veracity of these tales remains uncertain, the name has endured, becoming a part of the park's folklore and adding an air of mystery to the history of this captivating attraction.
