African Veldt and Trapped Safari 1969

The Jungle River Cruise has fun vignettes featuring animals and sometimes humans interacting. The first image is of the African Veldt featuring a gathering of animals on the grasslands. Most guests now think of the Lion King when they see this vignette.

Next up is the trapped safari which just happens to be the next scene on the attraction. This vignette always makes me chuckle even though I have seen it hundreds of times.

The Lion King is such a classic!

I am actually kind of surprised that they never put in a more obvious tribute to The Lion King, like having Timon and Pumbaa show up.

Have you guys seen Tokyo Disneyland's NEW "Jungle Cruise Wildlife Expedition" on Youtube?. They play the soundtrack with vocals (Circle of Life) when the boat passes the African Veldt scene. It looks awful!

The rhino always gets his point across in the end...
