Local Orlando TV stations reported at the time that a 44 year old man's arm became trapped in the ride's conveyor belt. The ride has been closed since, and looks likely to remain closed until after the park's annual refurbishment which begins in January.

Miss Adventure Falls, which opened in March 2017, features two firsts for a Disney water park ride - a conveyor lift to the top of the ride, and an audio animatronic figure.

Check out this video for a first look at the ride in action.

Just an update, at TL right now and it's closed. It never reopened (makes sense) and won't be until after the two month TL refurbishment.

Thanks for the update
It’s a shame...that’s a very nice addition to the park.

I don’t recall the incident...but I can only see one legitimate cause: lack of attention/common sense to machinery.

A problem since the day machinery has been implemented millenia ago
I'm sure this has already been asked but if not, here'goes:

How did his arm get stuck in the conveyor belt?
I feel bad for the cast member . I hope he or she, will be ok

My mistake I thought he meant the park didn't reopen not the slide. Hopefully they shut the slide for good it's the most boring in the park, it's like sitting on the conveyor belt at a supermarket.

You obviously were never on the prior “family ride”...it was the worst waterslide ever built...the remaining tube slides are pretty bad also.

It was a nice addition...and it’s nice they did anything because their usefulness for water parks had obviously waned.

Kinda looking the horse in the mouth...in essence.
After watching the ride video I can't see where his arm would get stuck. It seems like one continuous conveyor belt until the top with the rolling pins. I am assuming thats where it would get stuck?

But it in all seriousness, I really hope that guy is ok. :/ That had to have been horrible.

Oh please, it's a really good slide once you get off the conveyor belt. Like, is that the only part you remember? It replaces the need to lug those giant rafts up huge flights of stairs.
Wow, first I heard of this. But I could see how a DEFLATED raft could get caught in the conveyer and take an arm with it, I'd rather not make assumptions about someone following the rules. We usually ride this one at night multiple times in a row, it's a lot of fun and has a really low height requirement.
