Actor Dwayne Johnson, who will soon be seen in the adventure film ‘Jungle Cruise’, says that the actual ride from Disneyland has a ‘wish fulfilment’ factor attached to it.
Disney’s ‘Jungle Cruise’ also stars Emily Blunt in the leading role. It is based on the popular Disneyland ride of the same name, where the skippers of the Jungle Cruise ride lead a humorously irreverent expedition, carrying passengers along four rivers: the Nile in Africa, the Amazon in South America, the Irrawaddy in Southeast Asia and the Ganges of India.
Speaking on why he finds the Jungle Cruise fascinating, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson says: “People love the Jungle Cruise attraction because of its rich history and tradition. There’s a unique quality to Jungle Cruise that still feels as if it were fifty or sixty years ago. But that’s the charm of it. When you go around the world to some of these other parks, you see their iterations of Jungle Cruise that are just spectacular. I feel there’s a wish fulfilment factor for the audience that happens with the Jungle Cruise ride. That wish fulfilment, I believe, is the idea that you are being transported, and you are truly going on the adventure and ride of a lifetime.”
