Type of Ride: Small rafts that take you to a playground island
Rating: DDD, great place to let the younger folks release some of their energy
Length: 2 minutes
Average Wait: 5 minutes
When to Ride: Anytime during the day, except the evening when the island is closed for Fantasmic!
Age Group: Teens and younger
Special Restrictions/Considerations: The raft will accommodate wheel chairs, but once on the Island guest may find it difficult to maneuver because of the rocky terrain and dirt paths.
History:
Location:
The rafts to take you to the island are directly down from the Haunted Mansion on the Rivers of America
Description:
These rafts are based on the raft the Huckleberry Fin took on his adventures down the Mi'sipi Riv'r. These provide one way transportation to and from Tom Sawyers Island. The Island provides a great place for the kids to "run around" (running is not allowed on the island) and enjoy themselves. They can explore caves or climb into Fort Wilderness. Definitely a place to take them in the later afternoon when they are becoming antsy from waiting in lines all day.
This attraction closes a little before dusk in preparation for Fantasmic! Even if there is no showing of Fantasmic! this attraction will close because of safety issues on Tom Sawyers island after dark.
