Tiana's Bayou Adventure Shuts Down After Guest Leaps From Ride
Guests were left disappointed when Tiana's Bayou Adventure was closed due to a Guest exiting the vehicle right before the big plunge. Should more safety measures be added to this attraction?
Disney Guests Behaving Badly
Over the last few years, we have seen our fair share of poorly behaved Guests. Whether that be someone dressing up as Mickey Mouse, brawls breaking out, or even domestic violence at Disney's Art of Animation, we feel like we have seen it all.
Disney even went so far as to post a courtesy reminder on the website: Be the magic you want to see in the world. You must always remember to treat others with respect, kindness and compassion. Those who can't live up to this simple wish may be asked to leave Walt Disney World Resort.
Even with this reminder, bad Guest behavior continues.
Guest Halts Ride on Tiana's Bayou Adventure
Disney has even implemented safety measures to prevent disruptions by guests, such as aboard Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway and aboard Tiana's Bayou Adventure.
The added safety measure on Tiana's Bayou Adventure was added due to a Guest standing up before the drop that is part of this attraction.
Unfortunately, even these safety measures did not prevent further dangerous behavior.
Tiana's Bayou Adventure Safety Incident
According to @ScottGustin, Disneyland officials confirmed that on Sunday, June 21, 2026, a 13-year-old Guest exited Tiana's Bayou Adventure attraction vehicle right before the huge drop at the end. According to Guest reports, the 13-year-old slid down the large drop. However, this was not confirmed by Disney.
Tiana's Bayou Adventure at Disneyland closed on June 21, 2026, due to a 13-year-old guest exiting the vehicle.
To ensure Guest safety, the attraction was stopped immediately. All Guests were safely evacuated from the attraction. The 13-year-old Guest was taken to a hospital. Thankfully, the Guest was safe. We do not know the reason for exiting this attraction.
Tiana's Bayou Adventure was closed for the remainder of Sunday, but reopened on Monday, June 22, 2026. After several safety incidents, it will be interesting to see if Disney adds additional safety measures to this attraction.
