Jungle Cruise - Disneyland attraction. The Jungle Cruise -- seen in this early rendering -- continues to be a very popular attraction in Adventureland. At one point, Walt considered populating it with live animals. However, he was fearful that some Guests at Disneyland would be cheated if they encountered only sleeping animals. Hence, he altered the attraction to feature mechanical beasts. Walt was always anxious to promote his emerging Park on his television show, even if there wasn't a whole lot to show to people. He therefore often fell back on the Jungle Cruise attraction, where he was able to show the various stages of construction. He even took viewers on a ride through the attraction in his Nash Rambler automobile.
