Summary
A 13-year-old guest left a boat on Tiana's Bayou Adventure on June 21, prompting Disneyland to stop the ride and send the rider to a local hospital for evaluation.
Disneyland said the teenager reportedly climbed out of the vehicle; officials did not confirm whether the rider fell, though witness accounts on Reddit described the teen tumbling down the water slide.
The log flume ride, which ends in a 50-foot waterfall plunge, closed for the rest of the evening for inspection after emergency personnel responded.
The rider was later released from the hospital, and Tiana's Bayou Adventure reopened on June 22 and is operating normally.
