A 13-year-old Disneyland guest was medically evaluated after exiting a ride vehicle and sliding down the final 50-foot plunge of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
The incident occurred on Sunday on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, one of Disneyland’s log flume rides, according to a Disneyland spokesperson.
The boy got out of the log ride vehicle before the attraction’s final descent. A cast member immediately stopped the ride, and the teen was later taken to a local hospital for evaluation, the spokesperson said.
He was evaluated as a precaution and later released. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure remained closed for the remainder of Sunday evening before reopening the following day, according to reports.
Witnesses who discussed the incident online described the boy sliding down the steep drop before emergency personnel arrived.
The attraction opened in 2024, replacing Splash Mountain, and is inspired by Disney’s animated film ‘The Princess and the Frog.’
In a separate incident, two girls were hospitalized after falling from a Ferris wheel during a harvest festival in Louisiana in November 2025.
