Keel Boats

The original Keel Boat attraction was Disneyland's Mike Fink Keel Boats. They opened on Christmas day in 1955. The original boats were the actual boats used in the filming of "Davey Crocket and the River Pirates." However, these were not designed for heavy use and were replaced shortly after by larger and more sturdy craft. This attraction no longer operates at Disneyland.

The 2nd version of the Mike Fink Keel Boats opened with the Magic Kingdom on October 1st, 1971. This attraction which still runs today offers a comic voyage along  the Rivers of America on one of two boats, The Bertha Mae and the Gullywhumper. You can find the Keel Boat dock in Liberty Square.

The latest version of the attraction opened with Disneyland Paris on April 12, 1992. The River Rogue Keelboats, as the attraction is named there, are located in Frontierland and will give you a tour of the Rivers of the Far West.

Tokyo Disneyland does not have a version of this attraction.
