This Micoofy.com idea stems from my love with Disney Theme Parks at night. But this idea would only be for Walt Disney World's Jungle Cruise. Disneyland in California already has The Haunted Mansion themed Christmas ride during the December holiday so Walt Disney World should have its own holiday themed ride for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.

The Haunted Jungle Cruise . Imagine, at night, during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party... you get on a rocky boat... fog is everywhere but not thick that you can't see... strange noises echo from within the jungle, noises unlike any you've ever heard... something is moving in the water... the costumed cast member warns the guests "any last souls feel the need to escape?" No one answers back and the ride begins.

I think Walt Disney World could pull this nightly attraction off. People during the day could ride the Haunted Attraction but with less effects due to the blanket of night needed to make the ride a wonderfully ghoulish experience. Disney Imagineers could pull character talent from their large library of villians that include Tarzan, The Jungle Book, The Lion King, The Rescuers, etc.

As for Halloweenish material, there's spiders, vampire bats, cobwebs, more snakes, ghosts, skeletons and witches. Speaking of a witch, it'd be great to have a live actress stirring a cauldron and casting spells on the boats as they pass by.

Over in the water areas, there could be chasing and/or moving lights under the boats as if ghosts are passing by. Add some floating tombstones bouncing in the water, a skeleton hand emerging from the water that points upon request by the skipper asks for directions, the boat itself rocking at one point to allow a ghost or two to get on board. And when the boat pulls into the dock and all the guests have exited the boat rocks again as the ghosts who boarded earlier get off into the park.

The boats themselves could all be renamed on top with spooky titles, a skipper or two could be dressed as a tourist similiar to those found in Halloween costume shops and the boat could break down at some point in the ride for a total blackout effect.

The cave part of the ride in the Walt Disney World version has endless possibilites. And near the end of the ride riders could spot a half sunken boat with a skeleton skipper waving back. The skipper could tell the skeleton skipper "I see you didn't quite make it back. Oh look he's calling us over, shall we sink by?"

What a wonderful idea. But no Walt ghost of any sorts. Hopefully one day soon Micoofy Duck will ride that haunting journey... This has been another Micoofy.com Idea!
