ANAHEIM, Calif., June 28 (Our Los Angeles) — Disneyland Resort said a 13-year-old guest exited a ride vehicle on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Anaheim and slid down the attraction’s final drop before cast members stopped the ride.

Disneyland officials said the boy was taken to a local hospital for precautionary evaluation and later released. The park said the attraction remained closed for the rest of the day.

Cal/OSHA later inspected the ride. A Cal/OSHA spokesperson, Katherine Wzorek, said investigators did not find any operational issues.

Disneyland said the attraction resumed operation after the inspection. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is one of the resort’s newer headline rides and a major draw for visitors planning a trip to the park.
