The sound of clashing swords and rowdy men comes from off stage as Peter warns Charlie and Moana about the pirates.

Sarcophagus Spins

Upon entering the queue for the attraction, you see giant cartoonish plastic replicas of the judgement cycle that occurs in the hall of Maat, with the scale with the feather, Anubis standing there with Ammit, and Thoth recording. Once you finally access the ride, you board a dizzy dragon style ride where the dragons are in fact giant sarcophaguses that you board and remain inside of.

Xolotl Gliders

The Queue starts with you entering through half of the torso of the Xolotl, which is who the ride is named after. As guests enter the Xolotl’s body, they will be greeted by cast members who will then help you put on them put on equipment and helmets, which are colored and patterned after Aztec Warrior’s armor. They then push the visitors out from the mouth of the Xolotl’s as they glide down from his mouth to the other side of the deck, which is the other half of the body of the Xolotl, in which cast members help them take off the equipment, and transport vests and helmets back up via a similar mechanic to a ski lift. Sizes of equipment will vary so all guests of different ages and sizes may have this experience.

Bunyip Bogs

On the outside of the queue are planted cattail plants, along with some synthetic mossy logs, and what appears to be tattered, murky clothing sprawled out all over the marshy logs. Entering the ride, is an octopus arm type attraction. In the center of the octopus attraction where the axis is, is a rearing, angry bunyip covered in kelp and mud. The Arm parts of the attraction are disguised as meer kelp and ‘murky water’ (just steel designed to look this way) which is attached to the ride vehicles. The ride vehicles themselves look like canoes, which have been scaled down to prevent them from clashing with the rest of the ride vehicles.

Tanuki Twirlers

The queue of this attraction is lined up next to an array of umbrellas, all of which have Japanese kanji inscribed on the very tops of them. The ride booth where the cast members reside in and control the ride in have been disguised as a market stand where there are multiple targets with arrows stuck in them. Upon boarding the ride, in the very center of the ride is a statue of the famous Tanukis, which are now known as Raccoon Dogs, where said Tanuki is very cartoonish looking in contrast to it’s golden-black stand and silver plaque. The tanuki itself is wearing a straw hat, and carrying lanterns. Before you have any thoughts about some controversial things that come with the statues, the Tanuki is on a Disney ship, and I have learnt my mistakes from the Kingsman scene. It no longer has it's you-know-what hanging out. The ride itself is a Himalaya type ride where you sit inside Tanuki’s of a similar style of the statue, except they have flowers painted onto them as necklaces.
