Disneyland Resort officials told People that a 13-year-old guest was evaluated at a local hospital and released after exiting a boat on Tiana's Bayou Adventure at Disneyland Park before the ride ended Sunday, June 21.
A cast member stopped the attraction after the guest left the log vehicle, and cast members later assisted the teen along the ride path. The Anaheim Fire Department responded, and Disneyland officials said the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health inspected the attraction the following morning and approved it to reopen.
The new confirmation adds several official details to the eyewitness reports CrowdLevels covered Monday. Disneyland did not confirm the full drop account described by some guests online.
Drop Detail Remains Unconfirmed
Witnesses on Reddit said the guest went down the attraction's final drop after leaving the boat. Disneyland confirmed the guest exited before the ride ended, but it did not confirm that portion of the eyewitness account.
Tiana's Bayou Adventure has a 50-foot final drop.
Tiana Was Operating Wednesday
CrowdLevels showed Tiana's Bayou Adventure operating with a 50-minute posted wait at 12:05 p.m. PDT Wednesday, June 24. The ride also showed Lightning Lane return times available for the afternoon.
The new confirmation follows CrowdLevels' June 22 report on the first eyewitness accounts and Sunday night downtime.
