Overview
- A 13‑year‑old guest exited a Tiana’s Bayou Adventure log mid‑ride and slid down the ride’s roughly 50‑foot final drop, an event that occurred on Sunday, June 21 and was witnessed by multiple parkgoers.
- Disneyland cast members stopped the attraction immediately, security and Anaheim Fire Department personnel responded, and the teen was taken to a local hospital for evaluation and later released.
- Video published by TMZ and circulated online corroborates eyewitness accounts that the guest left the vehicle and traveled down the drop outside the log.
- California’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health inspected the ride the next morning and approved Tiana’s Bayou Adventure to reopen, and Disneyland resumed normal operations on June 22.
- The attraction uses single‑file log vehicles without lap bars or seat belts, a common log‑flume design that assumes riders remain seated, and officials have not verified witness claims about any stop‑mechanism or mechanical failure.
