At A Glance |
Slow riverboat ride (17 min)
around the Rivers of America. |
The Liberty Belle Riverboat is an impressive stern wheel paddle
steamer, reminiscent of the paddle steamers that used to ply the
waters of many of the Southern states. Despite appearances however,
It's not an original paddle steamer, having been built from scratch
in dry dock at Walt Disney World. It's also not entirely free
to pilot it's own course around the Rivers of America which surround
Tom Sawyer's Island, because the Liberty Belle runs around a hidden
steel track sunk below the water level.
The steamer takes the guest on a very pleasant 17 minute ride
past forest scenery, animals, and occasional events on the river
banks. It runs from the time the park opens, until around 3:30
PM daily.
