Former Disney employee threatens suicide atop Space Mountain in Hong Kong Wed Oct 12, 2:32 AM ET

HONG KONG (AP) - A former Disney worker climbed to the roof of the Hong Kong park's most popular attraction and threatened to slash his throat to protest his dismissal, a Disney spokeswoman and newspaper reports said Wednesday.

The 48-year-old man, a former security guard at the theme park, climbed to the top of the building housing the Space Mountain roller coaster on Tuesday and remained there for two hours, Hong Kong Disneyland spokeswoman Esther Wong said.

Photographs published in the Apple Daily newspaper showed the man sporting a white T-shirt with the words "blood," "reveal the truth" and "SOS" written in red paint. He was also shown placing a small penknife at his throat.

The man was unhappy that he was fired three months ago for allegedly violating park rules, including using obscene language during working hours, the paper said.

He climbed down unhurt after a two-hour negotiation with police and fire fighters, Wong confirmed.

A Hong Kong trade union has received about 60 complaints of alleged labour abuse - including long hours and lack of rest time - from Hong Kong Disneyland employees since the park opened last month.

But Labour Department spokesman Ricky Chan said Disney had not violated any labour laws.

Wong stressed that the park has already made labour-related improvements after discussions with unionists.

well if it made money or increased attendance Disney would repeat it every hour on the hour. Don't forget Disney is the guy who made billions by killing one or both of his characters parents in the first few minutes of his movies.

Ever seen or heard of the abuse the people in the huge stuffy costumes have to endure? And that includes never being allowed to unmask, even if the temps inside the costume make the wearer vomit.

Heh..there was a guy playing Gumby or one of those characters at Disney World in Orlando that was feeling up all the women when he posed for pictures with them.

A Grab Ass Gumby....he was found not guilty though.

This guy was fired for using obscene language on a construction site? I always thought using obscene language was a requirement.
