Los Angeles Times • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Disneyland has installed 12 new signs around Tiana’s Bayou Adventure warning guests that standing up during the log-flume ride will result in removal from the park, with language now stricter than previous warnings.
- The updated signage aims to address a serious safety issue, as some riders frequently stand up despite cast members' instructions, leading to families being removed from the park weekly.
- The changes follow a recent incident where a 13-year-old boy climbed out of the ride and fell 50 feet, prompting immediate ride closure and heightened safety concerns.
- Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, formerly Splash Mountain, features logs without safety belts or lap bars, increasing the importance of guests remaining seated throughout the ride.
- Disneyland fans expressed mixed reactions online, with some lamenting the need for such warnings and others recalling stricter enforcement policies from the past.
