13-Year-Old Climbs Out of Disneyland's Tiana's Bayou Adventure Ride, Slides Down 50-Foot Drop

Cal/OSHA found no operational issues after the teen exited the log flume early and fell down the ride's 50-foot drop.

  • On Sunday, June 21, a 13-year-old guest exited a log vehicle on Tiana's Bayou Adventure in California, prompting resort officials to immediately stop the ride. The teen was transported to a local hospital for evaluation as a precaution.
  • Disneyland transformed the former Splash Mountain into Tiana's Bayou Adventure in 2024, a log flume ride ending in a dramatic 50-foot drop. The attraction operates without lap bars or seat belts, distinguishing its design from traditional water rides.
  • Eyewitnesses shared on Reddit that they saw the boy "falling," "tumbling," or "sliding" down the drop hill. One Reddit user named Kaleb reported the teen avoided serious injuries, sustaining only minor cuts and scrapes.
  • Resort officials confirmed the teen was evaluated and released from a local hospital. Tiana's Bayou Adventure remained closed Sunday evening but reopened on Monday, June 22, following the incident.
  • Disneyland continues managing infrastructure projects including the New Orleans Square train station rebuild and retiring gas-powered Autopia cars by February. These updates reflect the park's ongoing operational evolution.
