Disney Theme Parks join the long list of places that have banned selfie sticks

The list of places that have banned selfies sticks grows ever longer, as Disney announced today they would be banning them from their theme parks worldwide citing growing safety concerns. The ban came after someone’s attempt to take a selfie stick on a rollercoaster ride caused problems.

Even as selfies seem to be taking over our news feeds, the hallmark portraiture of our digital age is meeting resistance as more and more venues move towards banning selfie sticks — or, in their words, ‘wands of narcissism.’ The telescoping arms, meant to widen the angle, enabling selfie takers to incorporate landscapes and friends in their shots, have been deemed ‘hazardous’ at a growing number of museums, monuments, concert venues and now theme parks.

There is only one problem: selfie sticks take great, compelling photos. As obnoxious as the arms can be, we are going to miss these impossibly awesome shots.

Below is a list of venues where your stick is no longer welcome, along with a selection of the beautiful selfies they made possible at said location.

1. Disney Theme Parks

As of July 1st selfie sticks will be banned at all Disney theme parks world wide, including the selfie stick capitol of the world, Hong Kong. This is following an incident where a patron pulled out a stick mid roller coaster ride at Disney California Adventure, causing them to shut down the ride temporarily. You won’t be able to even get selfie sticks into parks, reports the Orlando Sentinel; security will be searching visitors’ bags for them.

2. Coachella and Lollapalooza Music Festivals

3. Palace of Versailles, Versailles

4. The Smithsonian, Washington DC

5. Most of your favorite New York Museums

The Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Guggenheim Museum, The Cooper Hewitt Museum, The Frick Museum and The Brooklyn Museum.
