Indiana Jones reshapes Disneyland’s most famous attraction.

Pete and Kelly return to the jungle with the long awaited sequel to last season’s Rude Mechanicals — Jungle Cruise: The Early Years.

This time we tackle the attraction as it is drawn into the pull of the Indiana Jones Adventure and the re-focusing of Disneyland’s Adventureland.

Piranhas!
The return of Bill Evans!
Albert Awol!
The Society of Explorers and Adventurers!
The disappearance of Trader Sam!
And, of course, hot tree transplanting action!

The jungle has grown darker and more mysterious. Let us guide you through it.
