Headless Ursula Terrified Disneyland Visitors
Disneyland Visitors Were Horrified By These Headless Robots At The Park

There's a reason that Five Nights At Freddy's is such a hit: it's because it preys on people's very real fears of animatronic robots.
They move around unnaturally and seem to have this vacant expression in their eyes that suggests they envy you for your humanity and they'll do anything to have it...anything.
I don't know why places like Chuck-E-Cheese still have these things in their franchises. Please just take them out already and replace them with another ball pit or slide or something. And as scared as I am of them, I get why pizza party joints like that keep their robots.
But places like Disneyland? Why do they still have these creepy bots?
Are they well-constructed and faithful to their film counterparts? Yes. But they're still scary, and were somehow made infinitely more terrifying when, for some reason, they lost their heads.
That's right, two animatronic characters at Disneyland were decapitated. But that didn't phase them - they kept on singing. They kept on singing.
Animatronic Ursula's head fell off today, but she just kept singing & I've honestly never related to anything more pic.twitter.com/DbeFSKAAYA

Warning: if the idea of a headless robot singing sounds troubling, please don't watch this.
This happened today which caught me off guard because Disney is usually so critical over things like this😂 #offwithherhead ! pic.twitter.com/biGGYG6ec2

Friend: Did you see what happened to Ursula's head?
Me: Poor unfortunate soul #Disney pic.twitter.com/Fr6QCK0rZx
— Ashley Carter (@AshleyLCarter1) January 29, 2018Some park visitors thought that the headless Ursula was a good look for the Disney villain. I mean if the whole point is to make her as scary as possible, then they're pretty much nailing it.
You guys. This makes Ursula that much more horrifying. Let's leave it. https://t.co/rZxG7QjLMh

— ✨Christie ✨ (@christier0408) January 29, 2018There were fitting Alice in Wonderland references, as well.
They really must’ve ticked off the Queen of Hearts. https://t.co/qS31m6UwCG
— A M Y ✨🦄 (@aimster_17) January 29, 2018Has the Queen of Hearts been in Adventureland because the Auctioneers head has come off in Pirates? 😂
— David (@davidatdisney) January 28, 2018Ursula wasn't the only one who lost her head, either.
The infamous Auctioneer at Pirates of the Caribbean literally lost his head 😱 I'm curious how long it takes them to fix it #dlplive pic.twitter.com/TZ6JOW64m5
— Julian (@HOPAJUL) January 28, 2018This guy might think it's fascinating, but that's probably not the word I'd use to describe an air-suspended robotic face grinning at me.
The fascinating thing was... the facial movements of the Auctioneer were still full working until they shut the whole figure off 🙈
— Julian (@HOPAJUL) January 28, 2018I mean, just look at this mess.
