Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Jungle Cruise, a tour in Adventureland at Disneyland.

Disney legend has it that this classic attraction was conceived as a tour of live animals (a concept decades later implemented throughout Disney's Animal Kingdom), but that idea was nixed 'cause handlers feared the animals wouldn't be awake during the day. So Disneyland installed this collection of audio-animatronic creatures instead.

For Disneyland's 50th anniversary, the guns are back in the skippers' hands, the animations are fixed up througout and a new piranha effect provides a wet finale. The skippers on this tour don't take themselves seriously -- it's a floating joke fest all around. So keep your ears and eyes open to fully enjoy this delightfully cheesy adventure.
