Disneyland's Jungle Cruise Water Turns Red as Reports Cite Treatment Dye

Outlets say the crimson tint comes from routine water-treatment dye that blends back to green within days.

Overview

  • A widely shared photo from a Sunday ride shows portions of the Jungle Cruise water appearing bright red instead of its usual green.
  • Disneyland kept the attraction operating while the discoloration was visible, according to the reports.
  • Coverage attributes the color change to a dye used in the ride’s water treatment that initially presents as red before mixing to green.
  • The explanation circulated after a Reddit commenter described the effect as temporary, with the color expected to normalize within a few days.
  • Articles situate the incident within the ride’s long history, noting Jungle Cruise debuted in 1955 and has counterparts at other Disney parks.
