ANAHEIM, Calif. (KABC) -- A roller coaster ride at Disney's California Adventure park was stopped for about two hours, and it was all because of a selfie stick.

The California Screamin' roller coaster was shut down Monday afternoon when someone pulled out the device.

People were taken off one car at a time. The ride was cycled through and reopened.

No one was hurt, but Disney bans the use of selfie sticks on moving rides because it could put passengers in danger.

Disney is the parent company of ABC7.
