A 13-year-old boy was hospitalized after falling about 50 feet from the track of Disneyland’s Tiana’s Bayou Adventure ride in California on Sunday.
According to park officials, the teen exited the log ride before it was complete and fell from the attraction, which does not use seat belts or lap bars. He was treated at a hospital and is expected to recover, as his injuries were not considered serious.
The ride was shut down for the remainder of the day while engineers inspected the attraction. After finding no mechanical problems, Disneyland reopened the ride.
Officials have not said why the boy left the ride. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opened in 2024, replacing the former Splash Mountain attraction.
