Overview
- Disneyland installed 12 new signs around Tiana’s Bayou Adventure that change earlier wording from guests “may” be removed to “will” be removed for failing to remain seated, and resort officials confirmed the signs were put in place this week.
- The stronger signage follows a string of incidents this summer, including a June 21, 2026 episode in which a 13-year-old climbed out of a log near the ride’s roughly 50-foot drop, fell down the watercourse, was evaluated at a hospital and later released.
- Cast members have intervened directly in later events, using security cameras to stop the attraction in July when a child left a boat and removing at least one family in August after children stood inside their vehicle near a lift hill.
- Tiana’s Bayou Adventure’s in-line log boats do not have lap bars or seat belts, so Disneyland is relying on signage and enforcement to change rider behavior rather than making any announced physical modifications to restraints or vehicles.
- If riders keep ignoring the warnings and safety stops persist, the resort may face pressure to consider physical restraints or vehicle changes that would alter boarding and the ride experience, though any such step remains unannounced and speculative.
