Disneyland & Orange County - Coastal California - page 932

Frontierland's Tom Sawyer Island - the only attraction in the park personally designed by
Uncle Walt - has been reimagined as Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer Island ( MAP
GOOGLE MAP ) , and now honors Tom in name only. After a raft ride to the island, wander
among roving Jack Sparrow-inspired pirates, cannibal cages, ghostly apparitions and bur-
ied treasure.
Cruise around the island on the Mark Twain Riverboat ( MAP GOOGLE MAP ) , a
Mississippi-style paddle-wheel boat, or the 18th-century replica sailing ship Columbia (
MAP GOOGLE MAP ) . The rest of Frontierland gives a nod to the rip-roarin' Old West with
a shooting gallery and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad ( MAP GOOGLE MAP ) , a
mining-themed roller coaster.
Adventureland RIDES, ATTRACTIONS
The hands-down highlight of jungle-themed Adventureland is the safari-style Indiana
Jones Adventure ( MAP GOOGLE MAP ) . Enormous Humvee-type vehicles lurch and jerk
their way through the wild for spine-tingling re-creations of stunts from the famous film
trilogy. Nearby, little ones love climbing the stairways of Tarzan's Treehouse ( MAP
GOOGLE MAP ) .
Cool down with a Jungle Cruise ( MAP GOOGLE MAP ) featuring exotic Audio-An-
imatronic animals from the Amazon, Ganges, Nile and Irrawaddy Rivers. Drop by the En-
chanted Tiki Room ( MAP GOOGLE MAP ) to look at the carvings of Hawaiian gods and
goddesses, and animatronic birds singing a corny song so good natured it's hard not to
love.
New Orleans Square RIDES, ATTRACTIONS
New Orleans was Walt's and his wife Lillian's favorite city, and this stunning square has
all the charm of the French Quarter minus the marauding drunks. Pirates of the Carib-
bean ( MAP GOOGLE MAP ) is the longest ride in Disneyland (17 minutes) and inspired the
popular movies. Tawdry pirates and dead buccaneers perch atop their mounds of booty and
Jack Sparrow pops up occasionally.
At the Haunted Mansion ( MAP GOOGLE MAP ) , 999 happy spirits, goblins and ghosts
appear while you ride in a cocoonlike 'Doom Buggy' through web-covered graveyards of
dancing skeletons.
