Tokyo Disneyland to Re-envision Classic Boat Ride Through Jungle
Urayasu, Chiba, Japan — Oriental Land Co., Ltd. has announced that the Jungle Cruise, located in Tokyo Disneyland’s Adventureland, will be revamped with the new version opening in autumn 2014. The Jungle Cruise, which has been popular since Tokyo Disneyland Park opened in 1983, takes Guests on an adventurous cruise through the jungles with a humorous skipper at the helm.
The revamped version of the attraction will have new lighting effects and other special show effects. In addition, a specially written musical sound track will be heard throughout the attraction for the first time in any Jungle Cruise. Also, an after-dark only “night cruise” will provide a unique take on the jungle adventure.
The new Jungle Cruise will offer Guests an adventure that is even more thrilling than before. From on board the attraction’s boats, Guests will explore jungle landscapesfull of wild animals with the help of their daring and comical skipper who guides them through the beauty and dangers of this exotic world. The adventure includes a startling encounter with one of the animal spirit guardians in the ruins of a lost jungle temple.
Jungle Cruise is sponsored by JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corporation. The attraction will be closed from January 6, 2014 for this renovation work.
