Boats for daredevil trips

The Magic Kingdom’s Jungle Cruise is often cited for having never lost a boat, a remarkable record to be sure. Okay, so they may not have lost any of the boats, but if forced the skippers for the Jungle Navigation Company would admit that they have approximately eleven boats missing.

Throughout the Jungle Cruise queue are a number of references to the adventurers who have come before, clues as to what types of people work for and with the Jungle Navigation Company, and an idea of just what a voyage down the river might entail. It is nice to see, as is hinted at by the sign on the left, that the skippers of the Jungle Cruise are not all work and no play. Still, one has to wonder how their bosses would reacted to a chartered ‘daredevil trip’ full of paying customers…

Ah, a lovely article! You know I love the Jungle Cruise! I am just not sure I will have the time to take a 'daredevil trip' next time I'm at the World....
