El Rio del Tiempo

Once located in Epcot’s Mexico Pavillion, the El Rio del Tiempo boat ride, also known as the River of Time, took passengers along a boat ride through Mexico. As of 2007 this version of the ride was removed and replaced with the Gran Fiesta Tour. Since the ride was actually rather good, I felt I should post it anyway and soon the newer version will also be here on Disney World Video. The ride took you through a strolling tour of Mexico, showings it’s beaches and party atmosphere. It was somewhat like Small World in nature but had it’s own flavor as it housed both animatronic and projected video, making for a very fun mix. The tune was also very catchy as well! Since it’s been gone for a few years all we have left of El Rio del Tiempo is the video ride through. Enjoy!
