It made me shed a tear. Whether that was a happy tear or sad tear, I’m not sure, all my brain could process was that it truly is a small world out there

Very interesting ride but not cause its fun and nostalgic but because its racist and old. Just a fun thing to do while riding but try to count how many houses you find in Africa and count how many bussdowns you find on black people. And their idea of unity is putting every single ethnicity in an all white room cause nothing says inclusiveness like white. Also every race in the choir is segregated. And someone explain to me why the black people are riding animals and swinging on vines. And why is the only thing they know about Arabia is the flying carpets from Aladdin. Very thought provoking and cute.

This relaxing ride is experienced on a large multi person water raft floating down a stream. As you advance down the stream you are transported through various countries. Anamatronic dolls are dressed in ethnic attire authentic to their respective countries. The dolls are engaged in scenes corresponding to their country. The experience is relaxing and especially entertaining for children.
