Disney Watersports: Remembering the Magic

·52 min·4 clips
Discover how Disney's tiny Water Mice speedboats led to accidents and a tragic death on Seven Seas Lagoon.
The hosts explore three defunct Disney water attractions: the dangerous Water Mice speedboats at Walt Disney World, the Shark Reef snorkeling experience at Typhoon Lagoon, and the fishing hole at Disneyland's Tom Sawyer Island. They share historical anecdotes, safety incidents, and why these unique experiences were discontinued.
