Where else could you see the backside of water?

The Jungle Cruise; Disney's first attempt at a safari attraction. This ride was also a classic Magic Kingdom ride. This ride takes you on a cruise down the Nile, Amazon, Congo, and Mekong rivers while your skipper tells corny, but always funny, jokes ("Here in the rain forest it sometimes rains 365 days per year...some years it even rains every day." / "Over there is Schweitzer Falls, named after the famous Dr. Albert [pause] Falls" then... on the other side of the falls "Look! The backside of water!" to name a few).

This ride is a perfect ride for the whole family; the slow moving boat offers scenic views of animatronic animals and tropical foliage. Some of the jokes may go over the heads of younger guests, but none of the jokes are innapropriate for young ears (it is Disney after all).
