Adventureland where you feel like you’ve left California for a Jungle adventure (where a snake can attack you at any moment, Oh wait thats just me!) Adventureland wasn’t always so spectacular, though. When Disneyland opened, it was by far the smallest land, with only a single attraction: The Jungle Cruise. Even the landscape was a work in progress. Imagineering Landscape Architect Bill Evans had begun turning orange grove into jungle almost a year before the park opened, but everything was still fairly small in 1955. Today, the natural canopy over the attraction extends more than 100 feet into the air, creating a complete sense of being thousands of miles from the streets of Anaheim.
