Disneyland’s Tiana’s Bayou Adventure was brought to an emergency stop after another child reportedly tried to climb out of a ride vehicle — just weeks after a teenager plunged down the attraction’s 50-foot waterfall.
The latest frightening incident unfolded Saturday night when a Disneyland cast member monitoring the popular water ride through surveillance cameras spotted the child getting out of one of the log-shaped boats, sources with direct knowledge told TMZ.
The employee immediately activated an emergency stop, bringing the entire attraction to a halt before the situation could become even more dangerous.
The ride was temporarily shut down while cast members assisted the guests involved.
Sources said the worker’s quick thinking prevented the child from reaching the ride’s massive drop and potentially suffering serious injuries.
The troubling episode comes roughly one month after a 13-year-old guest climbed out of a log on the same attraction and fell down the 50-foot waterfall.
Video obtained after that incident showed the teenager sliding down the steep drop. The child was later taken to a hospital for evaluation.
Disneyland officials said theme park attractions are temporarily stopped for a variety of reasons during normal daily operations.
A spokesperson said Saturday’s incident was handled appropriately by cast members, who stopped the ride so they could safely assist the guests.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, which replaced Splash Mountain, features several water-filled drops, including the dramatic 50-foot plunge near the end of the ride.
