Aboard the Raft to Tom Sawyer's Island
Three views of the family aboard one of the Tom Sawyer's Island rafts. In a couple of the images, you can see the rare bridge from Adventureland to Frontierland allowing water to flow from the Jungle Cruise to the Rivers of America.
I don't think the channel was exactly filled in. It's my understanding that there is actually a buried culvert to equalize the water levels between Adventureland and Frontierland.
Yeah as far as I know the water system still flows between Adventureland and Frontierland, but I also think it extends up as far as where the Phantom Boats used to be up by the Matterhorn.
I can't get my bearings from the photo though, was this bridge right around where Pirates is or more down towards the Hungry Bear?
Any idea when that bridge went away? I wonder if it was torn out (and the channel filled in) when the Plantation House was removed.
