Well, the news for this one is already in...
The next Disney ride to become a movie is going to be The Jungle Cruise.
Here's the news story:
"Hot on the heels of the success of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl," another Disneyland ride, "Jungle Cruise," is being turned into an action-adventure feature.
On Jungle Cruise, riders travel the rivers of the jungle guided by a riverboat skipper, encountering wild animals along the way. The first version of the Jungle Cruise ride was based on Walt Disney's True Life Adventure Series.
The period piece will be developed in the vein of Disney adventure films of the past. "It's completely inspired by and relates to the ride and will contain elements of the ride in the story," said David Hoberman, who will produce the feature.
While "Pirates of the Caribbean" was a worldwide smash, Disney also turned its Haunted Mansion and Country Bear attractions into films, to less spectacular effect."
There you have it. I find it somewhat strange that the ride was based on "The African Queen," and now the movie-inspired ride is inspiring a movie. Maybe they can make a People Mover movie about a guy who gets sucked into a video game. Or a Tom Sawyer Island movie... that seems like a character you could do some things with.
