Rivers of America (Disney)

Rivers of America is the artificial river located in Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland. It was formerly located in Magic Kingdom. Other rivers with different names also exist in Disneyland Park Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland. The first river was built in Disneyland when the park opened in 1955. It surrounds Tom Sawyer Island, which guests reach by raft from Frontierland. Additionally, there are other water-based vehicles on the river. The various sights along the Rivers include a Native American tribe and Audio-Animatronic wildlife.

At Disneyland Park Paris, Rivers of the Far West is home to Big Thunder Mountain, and at Hong Kong Disneyland, there is no Frontierland, so the Imagineers merged Rivers of America with the Adventureland Jungle Cruise attraction. Jungle river rafts travel around Rivers of Adventure, encountering similar situations as in the Jungle Cruise attraction. In the middle of the Rivers sits Tarzan's Treehouse, which can be reached by River Rafts.

Different steamboat and ship replicas sail on the rivers:
