Another child reportedly climbed out of a log on Disneyland’s Tiana’s Bayou Adventure over the weekend, marking the second such incident on the ride in less than a month.
The incident happened Saturday night when a cast member, the term Disney uses for employees, was monitoring the log flume ride, which includes a nearly 50-foot waterfall drop, saw the child leave the ride vehicle, and immediately triggered an emergency stop, sources told TMZ.
The ride was temporarily shut down while employees responded and assisted guests, Disneyland officials reportedly told the outlet.
Disneyland has not released additional details about the child involved in the latest incident, including why the child exited the ride or whether anyone was injured.
The Independent has contacted Disneyland representatives for comment.
The attraction is a log flume-style ride where passengers ride in an open-top boat along the water. It ends with a steep drop into a pool of water, causing a large wave to soak both riders and viewers.
This pride used to be “Splash Mountain” but was rebranded years ago.
The latest incident comes just weeks after another child safety scare on the same ride.
On June 21, which was also Father’s Day, a 13-year-old boy exited a log before the ride’s final drop and fell down the attraction’s waterfall, as captured on a frightening parkgoer video obtained by TMZ.
The teen sustained only minor injuries and was taken to a hospital for evaluation and later released.
Following that incident, the ride was inspected by California workplace safety officials and was cleared to reopen. Disney said the attraction includes multiple safety measures and that employees are trained to respond quickly in emergencies.
