40. Jungle Cruise Distory - Part 1 - The Origins of the Jungle Cruise
Description
Do you remember when Neptune starred in the Jungle Cruise?
... Ok, so that concept didn't ever end up in theactual ride, but it almost did!
In this episode of Distory, we begin our multi-part series on the history of the Jungle Cruise by taking a cruise back in time to encounter the original inspiration for this iconic attraction. Along the way, we'll encounter some exotic trips sponsored by the US government, a few water-logged movie stars, and the real-life animals that inspired all of Adventureland.
Join us LIVE on YouTube most Thursdays at 10:30am Pacific/1:30pm Eastern for more Distory!
