A 13-year-old Disneyland guest was medically evaluated after exiting an attraction vehicle and sliding down the final 50-foot jump of Tiana's Bayou Adventure.
The incident occurred Sunday at Tiana's Bayou Adventure, one of Disneyland's log flume rides, according to a Disneyland spokesperson.
The child exited the vehicle before the final descent of the attraction. A cast member immediately stopped the ride and the teen was later taken to a local hospital for evaluation, the spokesperson said.
