ANAHEIM, Calif., June 28 (Our Los Angeles) — Disneyland Resort’s Tiana’s Bayou Adventure reopened after California safety inspectors said they found no operational issues following an incident in which a 13-year-old guest exited a ride vehicle and slid down the attraction’s final drop.

Disneyland officials said the incident happened Sunday on the log-flume ride in Anaheim, California. A Disneyland spokesperson said cast members stopped the attraction after the boy got out of the vehicle, and he was taken to a local hospital for evaluation as a precaution before being released.

The attraction stayed closed for the rest of Sunday. Disneyland officials later said it resumed operation by Tuesday after an inspection by the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health, or Cal/OSHA.

Cal/OSHA spokesperson Katherine Wzorek told NBC News that inspectors “did not find any operational issues.” The incident drew attention because the ride ends with a roughly 50-foot plunge, making the closure and inspection the key practical issue for visitors planning a Disneyland trip.
