ANAHEIM, Calif., June 28 (Our Los Angeles) — Disneyland Resort’s Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Anaheim reopened after state 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 cast members stopped the ride after the boy got out of the vehicle on Sunday. The attraction’s final plunge is roughly 50 feet.

The boy was taken to a local hospital for precautionary evaluation and later released, according to Disneyland officials. The ride remained closed for the rest of the day.

The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health, or Cal/OSHA, inspected the attraction after the incident. Spokesperson Katherine Wzorek told NBC News that investigators did not find any operational issues.
