Jungle Cruise


By Webmaster - Posted on 12 January 2009

Location:  Adventureland

Ride Type:  Boat Ride

Passengers:  About 25-30 per boat

Fastpass?  Yes

Minimum Height:  None

 

Summary:  This wacky boat ride takes you through scenes from several major rivers worldwide, including the Amazon, Nile, Congo, and Mekong.  Originally intended as an educational ride, it evolved into a comedic ride in the 1960s, with bad jokes and puns served up by straight-faced captains.  The ride contains several types of audio-animatronic animals and people, but few scary scenes.  And wherelse can you see the 24th wonder of the world - the backside of water?

 

Comments:  This is an actual boat ride, and boarding it can get a bit tricky as it drifts away from the dock.  But cast members are there to ensure you safely get on and off the boat ride.  It's fun to sit near the captain - they sometimes select children to help them steer (when the boat is on the track of course).  Most children won't understand they jokes - they focus on the scenes and audio-animatronics.  But the ride is much more fun for adults if you groan aloud at the captains script - so feel free to play!

Tip of the Day

There is so much at Walt Disney World that people may get too caught up in the "magic". Remember to schedule breaks for all involved to rest and to get ready for more adventures. This will help relieve stress and goes a long way towards avoiding meltdowns.
