Arrest made in Disneyland dry-ice blast
Police arrested a Disneyland employee on suspicion of putting a so-called dry ice bomb in a theme park trash can where it exploded, authorities said Wednesday.
No one was injured in the small blast, but Disneyland briefly evacuated the Mickey's Toontown section where the incident occurred Tuesday.
Christian Barnes, 22, of Long Beach was arrested for investigation of possessing a destructive device, just hours after the blast, said Anaheim police Sgt. Bob Dunn.
Disneyland spokeswoman Suzi Brown released a statement Wednesday saying the resort was working closely with authorities.
Barnes, who worked as an outdoor vendor for the resort, was held on $1 million bail and is cooperating with investigators, Dunn said.
Detectives found fragments of a water bottle in the trash can and believe Barnes placed dry ice inside it to create the explosion, the police spokesman said.
A telephone listing for a Christian Barnes in Long Beach rang unanswered Wednesday.
Mickey's Toontown, designed to make visitors feel like they've entered an old-fashioned cartoon, "is an interactive metropolis full of topsy turvy architecture and screwy sculptures," according to the Disneyland website.

Disneyland is a magical and peaceful land.
Also at the train station the had coin lockers for ppl who'd come in with big luggage before going to disneyland and we left our stuff there. same shit, metal detector and xraying the bags.
Seriously surprised but positively.
But really that bag check is just annoying. I always get stuck behind a mom with seven giant Vera Bradley diaper bags with a million pockets who doesn't realize until she gets to the front that she's in line for a bag check. Actually I get stuck behind like 5 of these moms each time I go to EPCOT.
the FUCK
tries to put a bomb
in DISNEY FUCKING LAND
that's a whole new level of jackass
you're right tho
Throw that rotting tooth away, ain't no damn fairy gonna break into your room to leave you stuff - just take a dollar from my purse in the kitchen!
That said, toontown is the worst part of Disneyland IMO
my mom was "room mother" at my elementary school one year and every halloween party the kids begged a parent to make a "cauldron" with dry ice; my mom was scared shitless to bring it.
He said there were a couple times it actually blew up parts of the road... most of the time, they hurled them in the woods. (He did one when we were first dating, 8 years ago, and hurled it in his backyard... sounded like a gunshot, his mom was terrified someone would call the cops, lol.)
I think the worst thing someone could do (and his idiot friends did this as well) is put shrapnel in the bottle along with the ice. That will fuck up someone's day.
Definitely was not cool to do this at a theme park in a trashcan.
What if someone went to throw something away at the time it detonated? (It's not immediate. The one he did when we were dating took several minutes. We even went back in the house, thinking he hadn't done it properly and just as we got in the house, BOOM!)
