The Magic Carpets of Aladdin
Fly high above the town of Agrabah in this new attraction, with a little help from the Genie's magic lamp, of course. In this Dumbo-style ride, four guests can fly in a magic carpet that not only can be raised and lowered, but can tilt from side to side. But be careful, you'll have to be quick to avoid getting soaked by the spitting camels.

Trivia:
This is Magic Kingdom's first completely new ride since Splash Mountain. While other new attractions have debuted since then, they were all built to replace a closed attraction.

Jungle Cruise
From a misty rain forest on the Amazon, to the Mekong river in the wilds of uncharted Asia, this ride has it all. Themed to the 1930's, this ride takes a look at the comedic side of nature with Audio-Animatronic animals supplying all the action. The skipper of each boat spouts off corny jokes ("Something tells me we're not out of the woods yet, because when you've been in the jungle as long as I have, you begin to smell. Smell danger that is!") throughout the journey. Guests escape perils again and again, and don't be surprised if you get a little wet! You pass by a raging waterfall twice, once in front of it, and once behind. Passengers also see a camp taken over by gorillas, a rhino charging panicked poachers up a tree, and ancient Cambodian ruins overrun by snakes.

Trivia:
Walt Disney originally wanted live animals in this attraction, but changed his mind when he found out that they would be asleep most of the daytime, the ride's busiest time.

As soon as get in line for this attraction, you feel like you are in a small port town. The wind howls, and in the distance you hear cannon shots. Looking down through a barred window in the wall, you see two lifeless skeletons who were right in the midle of a game of chess. As you get closer to the boat bording area, you smell the salty sea and see pirate ships floating off in the distance. The ride starts with a steep plunge into a darkened room, where all you can see is a skull and crossbones laughing at you. Soon you pass a large ship where pirate theives are shooting at you with cannons. The "cannon balls" (actually well-timed air cannons) splash down on the other side of your boat. As the ride progresses, the action takes on a lighter tone, to the tune of the ride's theme, "Yo-Ho". The pirates' dunk the town mayor in a well, trying to "persuade" some secret out of him. One buccaneer tries to give a very irritated cat some rum, and another sits on the side of a bridge with a jug marked with an "XXX". After burning down most of the town in a blazing fury, the plunderers are locked up in the town jail where they plead with a stray dog to give them the cell keys he holds in his mouth.

Trivia:
The first Pirates of the Carribean in Disneyland ended with a hill climb back to the loading area. The ride here started a precedent for Disney attractions by letting you out in the gift shop, rather than the loading area. In order to achieve this, the vehicle's climb back to the loading area occurs after guests have climbed out.
This attraction was recently closed for a short period of time while it was revamped to make it politically correct. One of the more obvious changes is that instead of the pirates chasing around women in one scene, the women chase the scoundrels with pitchforks.
Believe it or not, this classic ride almost didn't make it to Walt Disney World. Since Florida is so close to the Carribean, Disney officials thought that guests in the Florida theme park would like something a little more exotic, like a western town. The proposed name for the attraction, which was to be in Frontierland, was Western River Expedition.

Swiss Family Treehouse
This exhibit is a replica of the home of the most famous shipwrecked family of them all. The five member family builds a spectacular dwelling in a banyan tree in the 1960 Disney film Swiss Family Robinson, based on the Johann Wyss book of the same name. In the movie, the treehouse was built out of natural elements on the isle and furnishings salvaged from the damaged ship. The treehouse in Adventureland is 60 feet tall and contains many of the rooms seen in the movie, including bedrooms, the library, the living room, and the kitchen. A water-powered system of ropes and buckets carries water from a stream up to the tree. The tree, fashioned out of concrete and steel and draped with live spanish moss, spans 90 feet at it's widest point; contains around 600 individual branches with 800,000 vinyl leaves sprouting from them; and weighs in at nearly 200 tons.

Trivia:
The Swiss Family Treehouse at Disneyland in California has been closed now for quite sometime. When it reopens sometime later this year, it will be the Tarzan Treehouse, a replica of the King of the Jungle's dwelling in the new animated film Tarzan.

The Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management
This shorter update of a classic Disney show has left people with very mixed opinions. While some say it's better because it's more updated and modern, others say it's awful because they've ruined the spirit of the show by cutting out all of the original songs. Two new characters include Iago, the noisy & argumentative bird from Aladdin; and Zazu, the proper British toucan from The Lion King. One missing character is Rosita, a feathered spanish señorita. After a special pre-show outside, guests enter the show building, designed to look like a tropical hut complete with a straw roof, that houses all of the Audio-Animatronic birds and flowers used in the show. "Windows" all around show calming scenes of the ocean. Guests sit around a large fountain at the center of the hut, and a sleeping bird sits snoring on his swing. A cast member wakes him up, and he introduces himself to you as José. His friends; Michael, Pierre, and Fritz; lower down, and they begin to sing the classic Tiki Room song. No sooner do they end the first verse, than Iago interrupts with his screeching and squawking about the show being too old-fashioned. When he begins to mess with the show, Zazu comes down to warn him not to anger the tiki gods. Iago blows him off, and begins his new version of the show anyway. But the Tiki Goddess of Disaster, Uhoha, pops out from the fountain, begins a realistic thunder storm, and zaps Iago. He later reappears, and the show has a happy ending. My favorite part is when, at one point, a carousel of female birds dressed as showgirls lowers from the ceiling, and a bewildered José asks, "What ever happened to Rosita?"

Trivia:
The pre-show starts when a waterfall next to the waiting line for the show cuts off, and the wall behind it opens up, revealing a small set with two Audio-Animatronic birds. They are Iago and Zazu's "talon" agents (Ha-ha-ha-ha...hoo, boy...), the birds William and Morris. Will is voiced by the late Phil Hartman, while Don Rickles (Toy Story's Mr. Potato Head) lent his voice to Morris.
While many people are upset by the re-working of the show, some comfort can be taken in the fact that some of the lyrics from the Tiki Room made it to another song in the show. If you listen carefully, you'll hear it. I think it's one of the songs when the carousel is already lowered down. Just trust me, it's there.
