Matthew Vince, who was on the ride, said more than a foot of water flooded the boat. ORLANDO, FLA. -- Disney's Magic Kingdom in Orlando may be known as "The Most Magical Place on Earth," but for some visitors riding the Jungle Cruise on Thursday, the experience was a bit less magical and a lot more wet.
The ride takes passengers on an adventure through the world's exotic rivers with a humorous skipper as the guide. But around noon, one of the boats started taking on water while passengers were on board.The boat "went from floating to sunk in about a minute," Vince toldCNN affiliate WFTVFirefighters with the Reedy Creek Fire Department responded to the scene, but no one was transported to the hospital, a spokeswoman with the department told CNN.
Some speculated it was a publicity stunt to promote Disney's upcoming "Jungle Cruise" movie featuring Dwayne Johnson. Others jokingly worried for the fate of the guests because of all the dangerous "beasts" they could encounter. Disney said it worked with the people who were on the boat so that they could enjoy the rest of their day at the park, according to
