Overview
- In late June a 13-year-old stepped out of a log at the top of the roughly 50-foot drop, fell the full distance, received minor injuries and was treated at a hospital before Cal/OSHA cleared the ride to reopen.
- Early in July social-media video posted by @adventuresbyprince shows a woman trying to climb out on the ascent while a man moved into a backstage doorway, prompting a cast member to order them to remain seated over the loudspeaker.
- The attempted exit forced the attraction to stop and left other riders stranded for more than 30 minutes while on-site security searched backstage for the missing guest.
- Disneyland’s California version of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure seats riders in a single row without lap restraints, a configuration cited by reporters as making it easier for guests to leave their boats.
- The ride remains listed as operating on Disneyland’s website and no new regulatory orders or engineering changes have been publicly announced, but repeated viral videos have increased scrutiny of guest behavior and park procedures.
