Disneyland Resort has recently updated safety measures at its Tiana’s Bayou Adventure attraction, installing new signage over the weekend to remind guests of essential ride rules. The signs read: “Remain Seated At All Times. Failure to follow these instructions may result in being asked to leave the park.” This update underscores the park’s commitment to safety while maintaining the fun and immersive experience that guests expect.

New Signage Added

The timing of the signage update appears connected to a viral social media moment that captured attention online. One guest commenting on the change wrote: “New safety signs were added at Tiana’s. These signs were added most likely after a TikTok video shows a guy standing up before the first drop.” The clip quickly circulated on TikTok, sparking conversations about ride safety and guest behavior. While the video did not result in any reported injuries, it highlighted the potential dangers of failing to follow ride instructions, prompting the park to take visible action.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, inspired by Disney’s beloved The Princess and the Frog, features twists, turns, and water-based drops that require riders to remain securely seated. The updated signage reinforces this expectation, making it clear that any attempt to ignore safety instructions could lead to consequences, including being asked to leave the park.
