So by now you've probably heard about what happened at Disneyland on Tiana's Bayou Adventure. A child fell out of a flume and went down that massive 50 foot drop. And before anything else is said, the kid appears to be okay, which honestly feels like a miracle given what happened. But once that initial relief sets in, you start asking the bigger questions. How does something like this happen on one of the most iconic rides at a Disney park? And what does it mean going forward?
Tiana's Bayou Adventure replaced Splash Mountain and it already had some controversy surrounding it before it even opened. Now with an incident like this, the scrutiny on the ride is going to be intense. Disney is going to be under a microscope and rightfully so.
In this video we're breaking down everything we know about what happened, talking about the current lap bar and restraint system on the ride, and getting into why this could have much wider implications beyond just Disney. Universal, SeaWorld, Six Flags, parks everywhere operate flume style rides and if changes are coming, they could be coming industry wide.
We're also going to talk about what Disney's likely next moves are. Could we see additional restraints added? Height requirement changes? Operational adjustments? All of that is on the table and we want to walk through it with you.
This is a serious topic and we're treating it that way. But it's also an important conversation for anyone who loves theme parks and wants them to be safe for everyone who walks through those gates.
