Liberty Square Riverboat

Quick question:

What time does it stop working? I've never been on it and I'm planning to take a ride towards the end of the day...

Thanks Smile

I think it starts when the park opens and stops when the park closes, but i have seen it closed before the park does, so it may just depend on demand for rides.

Same thoughts as Mr.Hub..I haven't been on this boat in years. I really need to ride it next time!

we just rode it on Monday. The sign says every half hour, but I don't recall anything about how early or how late it runs. I know we've been on it at night though. We were trying to figure out if it's on a track or free floating. I think we decided that it's on a track when we felt some bumps, but still not sure.

Julie suffice it to say that it is indeed on tracks.

But the paddle wheel is run by a real steam boiler, just like the original boats were.

Is it really? I always assumed it was free floating, other than the (obviously) very tiny space it has to maneuver.

The boat is on an I-Beam: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Twain_Riverboat

This was fun. My son wanted to go on this. Never rode this before. It was very relaxing and perfect to give your feet a rest. We went on it at around 2pm. Not a lot of seating so get there early and be one of the first on to nab a spot.

Who knew it wasn't free floating?? I am surprised but seriously..I shouldn't be! That is pretty cool..and I guess it makes sense so some irate boat captain doesn't send it packing into the Haunted Mansion if he's having a bad day.
