A young woman was caught on video taking matters into her own hands and exiting Splash Mountain at Disneyland by jumping out of her moving log vehicle while having a panic attack.
Guest Climbs Out of Splash Mountain Log
TikTok user Fatima Yusuf Wright (@fatimamusic786) was filming some of her ride on Splash Mountain when she happened to see the other guest exit her log and walk along a nearby platform. Wright yelled, “What are you doing?” The guest exiting said she was about to have a panic attack as she headed down a maintenance staircase and out of sight.

In the second half of the video, Wright filmed the ride as it was briefly stopped. She wrote in her caption that the video was taken this weekend on Splash Mountain at Disneyland, which will close permanently at the end of the day today.
Climbing out of a ride vehicle while it is in motion is dangerous and could result in serious injuries, especially on a water ride with slippery surfaces. It could also result in being banned from Disneyland Resort. Thankfully, the guest in the video appeared unharmed. It’s unknown if she was caught by Cast Members or banned.
Splash Mountain & Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Splash Mountain first opened at Disneyland in July 1989. The attraction will close permanently tonight, May 30, to be transformed into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, which is expected to open in 2024.
Splash Mountain at Magic Kingdom closed in January and construction on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is well underway. Splash Mountain is set to remain as-is at Tokyo Disneyland, where it opened in 1992.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure takes place after the events of “The Princess and the Frog.” Tiana’s Foods is an employee-owned community food co-op established by Tiana in 1927, following the success of her restaurant, Tiana’s Palace. The co-op is housed inside a salt mine, with growers planting crops along the old Splash Mountain waterway. Guests will ascend through a mill house built into the side of the mountain.
Tiana’s Palace will replace the French Market Restaurant in New Orleans Square. Eudora’s Chic Boutique Featuring Tiana’s Gourmet Secrets, a shop featuring “The Princess and the Frog” merchandise as well as New Orleans-related items, is already open.
The Splash Mountain landscaping will be updated to make it look more like a Louisiana bayou. The iconic tree that was included in the original concept art will be removed as it doesn’t fit the new backstory.
The attraction will follow Tiana venturing into the bayou to find animal friends. She’s hosting a party for the people of New Orleans, but it’s missing a special ingredient. Some of the original cast will be providing their voices to the attraction, including Anika Noni Rose (Tiana), Bruno Campos (Naveen), Michael Leon Wooley (Louis), and Jennifer Lewis (Mama Odie).
