No Glasses Required: Disneyland Debuts 3D Printed Canoe on Jungle Cruise

Jungle Cruise’s latest innovation, a 3D printed canoe prop, has officially arrived at the classic attraction. 

What’s Happening:

• Disneyland Resort is venturing into new ways to create the immersive environments they’ve become famous for. 
• While 3D printing has become popularized over the past decade, Disney is testing the waters of what the technology could bring to the parks. 
• On a recent trip to Disneyland Resort, Laughing Place had the chance to check out the large-scale 3D printed canoe now seen aboard the world famous Jungle Cruise. 
• Visible from the attraction’s loading area and queue, the new prop blends in seamlessly offering a first look at what the technology may be used for across updating old attractions and creating new ones. 

• The canoe replaces a former prop, and looks nearly identical. 
• The canoe also doesn’t have the visible texture that many 3D printed items have. 

• While this is the first step into the future, Disney hopes to expand the use of 3D printing, which may even be used for ride vehicle production in the future!
• For those looking to make a Disneyland vacation a part of their future, Laughing Place recommends Mouse Fan Travel. 

Other New Things to See at Disneyland:

• A brand new beverage is now being served at the Milk Stand. 
• Pink Milk debuted yesterday at the park, and according to Laughing Place’s Mike Celestino, the new beverage is a delicious fruity beverage that tastes a tad like bubblegum. 
• For those with a sweet tooth, especially younger Jedi, will probably love the new beverage.
