Overview
- Disney and Florida-based Haddy produced a full-scale canoe intended as a scenic prop for Jungle Cruise, not a ride vehicle.
- Haddy says the 20-foot prop took about 70 robot manufacturing hours versus roughly 1,000 human hours for traditional builds.
- Imagineering worked closely on the design to ensure the canoe matches the attraction’s look so guests won’t notice a difference.
- The polymer prop can be melted down and reprinted at end of life, a sustainability advantage over fiberglass.
- Disney has not said which park will receive the canoe or when it will appear, and any broader use across other set pieces remains exploratory.
