## History

### Development history

Imagineer Harper Goff was largely inspired by the 1951 adventure film *The African Queen* which involved a riverboat captain named Charlie Allnut piloting a boat called *The African Queen*. Originally, the boats of the Jungle Cruise had striped canopies in white and either red, blue or green. These canopies were altered for more realistic canopies in the 1990s, tying into refurbishments made with Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye.

## Appearances

### Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye

Tourists are shown in the *Eye on the Globe* newsreel as using a jungle cruise boat to travel to the Lost Delta.

### Jungle Cruise

In the queue are blue-prints for the boats.

### Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom

Merlin appeared riding a boat with Rafiki while dressed as a skipper. The boats were also illustrated outside the Amazon River Base on maps of Adventureland

### Virtual Jungle Cruise

One of the boats would appear at the beginning and end of the ride.

## Trivia

* The skirt of Chief Nah-mee is implied to be made from the red/white striped canopies.
* In *Na'vi River Journey*, the boats are paralleled with wicker-boats owned by *Alpha Centauri Expeditions*.
