Adventureland includes Disneyland's most popular original attraction, the Jungle Cruise, inspired by adventure movies in tropical settings. With its amazing Audio-Animatronics^® and singing columns, the Enchanted Tiki Room becomes a form of "speaking architecture." The original robotic Tiki Bird is a special highlight here. One of the most recent and technically complex rides illustrated in the exhibition is the Indiana Jones^TM Adventure, in which architecture itself--confining spaces, domes, stairways--is the heart of the experience.
