Expo '55 - Motor Boat Cruise

Inspired by the happiest place on earth, this whimsical series explores the unsung heroes of the park; the ride vehicles.

Most guests have never heard of the Motor Boat Cruise, let alone had the chance to experience them. Much like Autopia, with a track to guide your vehicle, this attraction was considered a "B" ticket ride. Not the most exciting, but there's still a bit of fun to be had. In the 1990's shortly before closing, as a part of the Disney Afternoon Avenue event, the ride became the Motor Boat Cruise to Gummi Glen. Featuring plywood characters from Disney's animated series Gummi Bears. This is the version I remember best and will cherish for no other reason than nostalgia.
