The biggest digital craze of this year has been banned in the world’s favourite theme park, Disneyland.
The company has attributed its ban of selfie sticks – starting Tuesday – to safety concerns. The gadgets were already prohibited on rides, but now visitors won’t be able to take them into the premises. A spokeswoman told the BBC: “Handheld extension poles have become a growing safety concern for both our guests and cast.”
A number of football clubs, the National Gallery, and the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club in Wimbledon have already banned the sticks over concerns they could cause injury or be a nuisance to other visitors.
