Extra Magic Hours:
EVENING
- Water for the Jungle Cruise comes from a canal behind the Magic Kingdom that empties out near Cinderella Castle. The water is dyed green to hide the track work and control systems but the dye is natural and biodegradable.
- Jungle Cruise boats follow a track and are powered by compressed natural gas.
- A radio broadcast can be heard in the queue area that sets the stage for guests. Listen carefully for the numerous jokes and a reference to “Mickey Mouse” during the song “You’re the Top.”
- Walt had so much success with his True-Life Adventure films, he wanted to use real animals in the Jungle Cruise attraction.
- The original boats had pristine paint jobs, but this was later thought to be unrealistic for a true jungle environment.
