Dramatic footage, obtained by TMZ<\/a>, appears to show the boy climbing out of the back of the log ride as it reaches the apex of the drop before plunging down the 50-foot, water-covered track.<\/p>\n The ride was immediately shut down after the incident Sunday, according to KTLA<\/a>. The teenager was taken for examination at a local hospital and was later released, without serious injuries, Disneyland<\/a> told the broadcaster. <\/p>\n The park re-opened Tiana’s Bayou Adventure on the next day following an inspection by the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health. <\/p>\n \u201cA 13-year-old guest riding Tiana\u2019s Bayou Adventure exited the ride vehicle prior to the end of the attraction,\u201d Disneyland said in a statement, per KTLA. \u201cA cast member immediately stopped the attraction.\u201d<\/p>\n The attraction is a log flume-style ride, meaning passengers ride in an open-top boat and travel along a water-filled trough for the duration of the experience. Many classic log flume rides culminate with a large drop into a pool of water that causes a dramatic splash \u2014 hence the ride’s original name of “Splash Mountain.” <\/p>\n There are version of the ride at both Disney World in Florida and Dinseyland in California. The former features lap bars, while the latter does not, according to NBC News.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cAt least they should have some seat belts, something to keep them secure while they\u2019re going down that ride, especially for kids who sometimes can\u2019t sit still,\u201d a guest told KTLA.<\/p>\n Incidents involving guests have become an issue at Disneyland, prompting the company to enact a strict “Guest Code of Conduct” earlier this year, according to The Travel<\/a>. <\/p>\n During a February 19 Disneyland Resort Business Update event, the park’s Director of Attractions Engineering Services, Natalie Katzka, revealed that in 2025, 13 percent of ride shutdowns were caused by guest behavior, a rise in 3 percent on average.<\/p>\n Rides are often shutdown anytime a guest exits a vehicle prematurely, if an incident breaks out between guests during a ride, or if someone drops an item onto the track. <\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/tiana-bayou.jpeg\")
