Overview
- Disneyland confirmed a 13-year-old exited a Tiana’s Bayou Adventure log and was taken to a hospital for evaluation before being released after the incident on Sunday, June 21.
- Footage published by TMZ and multiple eyewitness accounts show the guest climbing out near the top of the ride’s roughly 50‑ to 52.5‑foot final drop and sliding or tumbling down the incline.
- Cast members immediately stopped the attraction, security and emergency responders attended the scene, and the ride was closed for the rest of the evening.
- California’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health inspected the ride the next morning, approved it to reopen, and Disneyland resumed normal operations the following day.
- Claims that a stop mechanism failed originate from anonymous social‑media posts and remain unverified, and the Disneyland version of the ride uses single‑file log vehicles without lap bars, a design that depends on riders staying seated.
