Attraction description
After riders ascend a dilapidated structure seemingly through a dense tropical forest, riders are sent down one of the three Crush 'N' Gusher slides, which all return to the Hideaway Bay pool in different paths consisting of uphill and downhill tunnels, turns, curves, and the like.[3] Guests travel upon inflatable rafts decorated with tropical fruits, reflecting Disney's theme of a journey through an abandoned tropical fruit processing plant. Fun facts about bananas and pineapples are located on signs adjacent to the ride's queue. The ride is sponsored by Chiquita. The ride is also one of the only waterslides in North America to feature three-person inline slide tubes.
